It's said that when it comes to oneself, no measure is too extreme. I may not be a complete villain, but I won't be outsmarted for nothing.
After being injured, Gu Yu's movements slowed down, but the pale-faced monsters still couldn't kill him. The two sides gradually reached a stalemate. The burly pale-faced monster slowly moved back, and started to observe from the side, seeming to discover something. It appeared to have found a weakness between Gu Yu and Dai An.
"Damn, this thing is really smart, it even knows about exploiting weak points in battle."
The fat guy said in a low voice, and I nodded. Gu Yu and the others were in the dark, but we saw very clearly.
The burly leader of the white-faced monsters began to move closer to Daian, while Daian was fighting with one of the white-faced monsters, leaving his back wide open. This was actually a bad habit of his. Gu Yu, as the leader, was very skilled. This caused his brothers below to rely too much on him, thinking that with the leader backing them up in a fight, they didn't need to protect their backs. Seeing the burly leader of the white-faced monsters about to attack Daian, I hesitated.
In fact, from a tactical point of view, if Daian was killed by the white-faced monsters, and then Gu Yu took out a few of the white-faced monsters, and finally the two leaders faced off and killed each other, it would be the best outcome. At least, this outcome would be favorable for me. But watching a live person die in front of me made me feel uneasy. After some thought, I lifted my slingshot and aimed a stone at Daian from a distance.
"Xiao Shan, what are you doing?"
Zhu Zi, seeing me about to act, asked in surprise.
I didn't answer, the slingshot shot out the stone, and I saw the stone draw a long trajectory in the air, finally hitting Daian's shoulder.
In fact, I am a kind person. After putting away the slingshot, I looked over. Daian, hit by the stone, suddenly turned his head and saw the white-faced monster leader about to attack. He quickly raised the crossbow in his hand and shot several times, hitting the white-faced monster leader's arm. The others, however, were dodged. The white-faced monster behind him rushed up, and its claws pierced Daian's back!
"Ah!"
Daian cried out in pain, alarming Gu Yu. By this time, the white-faced monster's claws had already pierced Daian's body, and blood was flowing down from the white-faced monster's claws.
"Big brother, save me... I don't want to die..."
While Daian spoke, a large amount of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, his body convulsed weirdly, his face was extremely painful.
"Anzi!"
Gu Yu exclaimed, anger making him chaotic, wanting to rush over to rescue them, but was attacked by the white-faced monsters beside him, their claws adding new wounds to his back. Turning back suddenly, he cleaved the head of the white-faced monster behind him in half with his machete.
"Big brother, I..."
Daian weakly said something, when the white-faced monster pulled out its claws, Daian slowly fell into a pool of blood, convulsed a few times, and then completely stopped moving. He died in great pain, his face pale and veins bulging, his eyes even remained open in death.
"Ah..."
I sighed, in fact, I never wanted to kill him, but now that he had died, at least we could survive.
"Ah!"
Seeing his brother being killed, Gu Yu went crazy and kept attacking, brutally taking out two of the white-faced monsters, quickly turning the situation into what I had originally expected. Leader against leader! No matter who survived in the end, their fighting strength would be greatly reduced. Of course, I wouldn't let Gu Yu die, because he needed to lead us out of here.
The burly leader of the white-faced monsters, wearing rudimentary armor and covered in muscles, bent over, his hands on the ground, walking in a way that looked somewhat like a gorilla, his eyes fixed on Gu Yu. Sharp teeth were occasionally exposed, and a terrifying low growl emanated from his throat.
"Why is that white-faced monster especially strong?"
The fat man rubbed his head and asked a funny question.
"The strength of zombies like this depends on their physical condition before death and their cultivation after death. Simply put, if they were a great hero in life, they will definitely be extraordinary as a zombie. Moreover, the longer the time they have been a zombie, the deeper their cultivation. I guess that white-faced monster was definitely a powerful and ruthless character in his life."
Zhu Zi looked inside and replied quietly.
"Hey, if Guan Er turns into a zombie, wouldn't he be invincible?"
The fat man was rude, and after saying this, I kicked him, saying in a low voice, "Nonsense, General Guan is a great master of Daoist exorcism and Spirit Driven, after mixing with Uncle Bai and Han for so long, you should know that."
The fat guy, knowing that he had said the wrong thing, gave a silly smile and remained silent.
Meanwhile, inside the iron gate, two people stared at each other for a long time. They were finally ready to take action! Although Gu Yu had been overly excited because of the death of Dai An, he had gradually calmed down at this moment. Gripping the machete firmly, he remained calm and composed, with a completely cold and steely expression on his face.
On the other hand, the strange pale-faced man seemed a bit impatient. After growling a few times, he suddenly charged forward. His powerful body leaped high like a lion, roaring angrily, and pounced on Gu Yu. The powerful impact and terrifying pressure knocked Gu Yu to the ground.
"Roar!"
The pale-faced man roared at Gu Yu and then, with saliva dripping from his large mouth, swiftly bit towards Gu Yu's neck.
"Huah!"
Gu Yu used a machete to defend himself and then attempted to stab the pale-faced man from behind with another machete. However, the pale-faced man was not foolish and immediately gave up attacking Gu Yu, moving back to avoid being struck. They didn't let Gu Yu's attack succeed.
"Wow, I feel like if Gu Yu keeps training for a few more years, he might actually become a hero who fights tigers," Luoqiong said admiringly.
At this moment, Gu Yu slowly stood up, retrieved a few pieces of paper from behind, scattered them in the air, and then let them gently float down.
"He released more little ghosts," I said nervously.
All of these pieces of paper were like the ones before, and after they fell to the ground, Gu Yu gestured and all the paper pieces stood up. He then flicked his fingers, and the paper pieces immediately began to run around the pale-faced man, and I could even hear some childlike voices.
"Ghost breath," Gu Yu murmured. Several small paper ghosts immediately started to make a fuss. Some of them flew into the air, and then black gas drifted down from the paper pieces. The black gas wasn't thick, but it seemed to be particularly effective against the pale-faced man. Surrounded by the black gas, the pale-faced man seemed to be trapped in a small circle, as if hitting a wall.
"Wow, that's impressive," Zhuzi couldn't help but compliment, and both the fat guy and I didn't dare to think about this kind of ability for now. We just found it amazing, although it felt a bit unorthodox.
The pale-faced man seemed increasingly agitated, constantly waving his hands around, but I knew very well that his eyes were already blank, and he couldn't hear, surrounded by complete darkness.
Watching from the side, Gu Yu pulled out the machete and, taking three quick steps, walked behind the pale-faced man, raised the machete high, and viciously chopped down on the pale-faced man's back. In my opinion, this blow must have taken half of the pale-faced man's life, but no one expected that just as the blade was about to fall, the pale-faced man suddenly turned around. A strange green light flickered in his completely dark eyes, which was abnormal. At the same time, it seemed that he was no longer affected by the black gas. He then landed a ruthless punch on Gu Yu's abdomen, catching him off guard and sending him flying several meters away.
"Roar!"
The ferocious pale-faced man roared fiercely, waving his claws repeatedly, tearing apart all the paper ghosts surrounding him, scattering the black gas. He stood amidst the shattered pieces of paper, roaring continuously.
"His teeth seem to have grown longer and his eyes have turned green. What's going on?" Luoqiong observed very carefully and then pointed out this change in the pale-faced man.
"It seems like he's going to transform into a zombie. Damn it, it looks like he's a tough one!" Zhu Zi's expression changed, as if he knew something.
"Brother Zhu, what do you mean by 'corpse transformation'? Can you explain it more clearly?" asked Fatty strangely.
"In simple terms, this pale-faced creature may soon become a real zombie!" Zhu replied in a low voice, sounding unusually heavy.
