Heizi, who was about to open his mouth to speak, had to swallow his words. I quickly jumped out of bed, grabbed my equipment and ran out with the hunter.
The young people in the village were fully armed, regardless of gender, including Mudan and others who came to the village.
Rather than seeking refuge here, these people seem to be here for support at this moment.
The clan leader hasn't appeared yet, and he should still be helping Qiu Sheng's two brothers heal their injuries.
Haitang raised the bow in his hand, shouted "Let's go" and led everyone towards the cave.
The elderly people and the childish-looking children in the village were all idle. They had machetes, bows and arrows in their hands, and some sharpened bamboos were brought over and placed at the entrance of the cave.
Heizi and I quickly followed the team. Everyone was silent along the way. Gu corpse, for those of us who have encountered it, it is a shadow in our hearts.
Fortunately, the terrain around here is complicated, which is more advantageous for us, but it is already late at night, and the visibility around here is not good for us.
"Light the fire..." Haitang ordered.
By the way, this Gu corpse is afraid of fire, how could I forget it.
Everyone immediately divided their work and lit a row of bonfires around the area. The lit torches were immediately passed to everyone's hands, and the entire valley lit up for a while.
There was a "rustling" sound in the woods not far away. It seemed that the scale of the zombies was really quite large.
"Ready the bows and arrows." Haitang's voice sounded.
Dozens of people present were aiming their arrows at the woods at the same time. This battle was quite like an ancient battlefield.
Instead, Heizi and I became mere decorations. We had to stand aside and closely observe the situation around the forest.
In fact, the most terrifying thing now is not the Gu corpse, but the Gu Master. I don't know where that guy is hiding now.
"Here we come." Wei Yucheng said and appeared.
"Ah..." Accompanied by a somewhat familiar roar, dense footsteps came from the forest, and dozens of Gu corpses rushed out at the same time.
"Fire the arrow." Haitang shouted angrily.
"Whoosh...whoosh...whoosh..." The sound of arrow feathers breaking through the air sounded.
This battle looks very grand, but the arrow feathers cannot stop the Gu Corpse's footsteps at all.
Even though a few had their heads pierced directly by arrow feathers, they were still running staggeringly.
"Hai..." I raised my hand and was about to call Haitang to say a few words, but Haitang had already spoken first.
"Light the fire." Haitang was calm and relaxed at the moment, and she really looked like a female general.
Heizi also called Gu Rou out. At this time, we turned around and understood Haitang's intention.
When those Gu corpses came out of the woods, there was a river beach. Although the river had dried up long ago and the ground was covered with gravels of all sizes, if you attack with fire in this place, you don't have to worry about setting the forest on fire.
The first round of arrow rain was just to slow down some Gu corpses, but now it seems that it was indeed successful.
"Let go." Seeing all the Gu corpses entering the river beach, Haitang shouted.
"Huh...huh...huh..." Balls of fireballs flew down in arcs like fireworks, and those Gu corpses were instantly ignited.
Before we could release the second round of rockets, those Gu corpses suddenly accelerated their speed, as if the Gu masters were secretly observing everything.
Haitang seemed to have expected it, and took the lead in pulling out the long knife at his waist.
"We must not let them cross the bonfire." Haitang's words woke me up. It turns out that the row of bonfires in front of me is our last line of defense.
The Gu corpse with its teeth and claws splayed had already arrived, and everyone rushed across the bonfire in a tacit understanding without any instructions.
It seemed that these people had been dealing with the Gu corpse for more than a day or two. The torch in their hands was swung and they slashed out with one knife. Their long knives were also extremely sharp. The head of the Gu corpse was immediately separated from the body.
The black evil energy emitted by the Gu corpse could not be condensed in front of the torch, and was quickly burned out by the flames.
"Enter." Heizi and I looked at each other and joined the battle with our swords.
Having learned how to use torches, and with the cover of Captains Yu Cheng and Gu Rou, Heizi and I killed everyone this time. A lot of the Gu corpses in front of us were chopped down by the four of us.
But just when we thought victory was in sight, a hunter rushing in front suddenly screamed heartbreakingly.
Everyone turned around and saw that the hunter had dropped his weapon and torch, raised his hands to cover his neck, and knelt on the ground.
There seemed to be something moving rapidly under his fingers. There was the remains of a Gu corpse at his feet, and something seemed to be crawling out of the remains.
"Go back..." I immediately shouted sharply.
Unexpectedly, this witch and Gu master was so insidious that he would hide such a large number of Gu corpses in these Gu corpses. No one knew if there were any remaining Gu corpses.
"Back away, let's take cover." Seeing that everyone was not moving, I had no choice but to look at Haitang.
"Quickly retreat." Haitang felt sorry for the clan members who had been invaded by the poisonous insects, but now there was no way to save them. Going up to save them would mean death.
"Bang..." A gunshot rang out, and the clansman tortured by the Gu insects fell to the ground instantly.
I turned my head suddenly and frowned at Heizi who was still holding the gun, but I saw Heizi had a sentimental look on his face.
The retreating tribesmen also cast grateful glances at Heizi.
At this moment, I suddenly felt that Heizi was so tall. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to do this.
"Let's go..." Wei Yucheng chopped down the Gu corpse that rushed over, and suddenly pulled me, who was still in a daze.
"Heizi, light the fire..." When I came back to my senses, I naturally couldn't sit still and wait for death.
"It has been prepared for a long time." Heizi forced a smile, as if he had not yet escaped from the sadness just now.
However, this kid had an extra bamboo tube in his hand. He threw it into the air and shot it with his hand.
The bamboo tube exploded instantly. It was not very powerful, but the little sparks instantly covered everything in front of it.
The Gu corpses that were still rushing over, together with the corpses on the ground, were instantly plunged into a sea of fire.
"Who are you?" Heizi pulled me back quickly, but my eyes couldn't help but stay on the sea of fire in front of me.
"Secret formula." Heizi smiled ghostly, very proudly.
But before we could celebrate our victory, the tribesmen who had just retreated started to commotion again. A man and a woman knelt down at the same time, vomiting black blood from their mouths.
A pair of hands scratched at the body indiscriminately, as if the body was no longer his own. Wherever the nails passed there were blood marks, and the skin and flesh turned up. The pain could be imagined.
"They've been poisoned. Disperse quickly." I rushed over and pushed everyone away.
"Ah... kill me..." The man raised his hand towards me with difficulty.
The woman was unable to speak at this moment and just looked at me with a painful expression.
"Xiaotian..." Heizi rushed over, holding my shoulder with one hand and pulling out a gun with the other.
Everyone turned away with a grimace. Haitang and Peony bit their lips and glanced at me. When they turned their heads, they shed tears.
I know that the two people in front of me cannot be saved, and the only way now is to help them escape.
I held back tears, took out the gun with trembling hands, and pointed it at the woman with determined eyes.
I didn't expect that the first time I fired a gun, I would actually kill one of my own people.
"I'm sorry..." I closed my eyes and pulled the trigger.
"Bang...bang..." Two gunshots rang out in succession, and Heizi fired shortly after.
Kuroko and I bowed to the two men who fell on the ground and set their bodies on fire.
"Everyone, don't get too close. Please spread out." Haitang tried her best to control the sadness in her heart and gave instructions calmly.
"Drink, everyone drinks." Mudan suddenly said.
This voodoo may be lurking in the human body. The purpose of Mudan letting everyone drink is to force the voodoo out. If they are brought back to the village, it will be over.
Men, women and children all drink here, and everyone carries a small bamboo tube with them. Everyone raises their glasses and drinks without hesitation.
Heizi also handed me a wine bottle, and I took a few sips without saying anything. Heizi took the wine bottle and did the same.
In fact, I hope that this strong drink can suppress the guilt of killing people. Although it is a last resort, it seems that the effect is not obvious.
All the Gu corpses had been eliminated, but the danger was still not over. Everyone spread out and sat in front of the previously lit bonfire, with a distance of two or three meters between everyone.
"If you have the guts, come out and I'll challenge you." Looking at everything in front of me, I was filled with rage and yelled at the woods.
"Haha, none of you can live..." came a pale and emotionless voice.
"Your uncle..." I exerted force on my feet and rushed over in the direction of the voice.
It’s just that I didn’t notice that Haitang and Mudan had been staring at the meteorite iron magic-bending blade in my hand.
