You Ziji has been here for some time, and like everyone else who came in, he looked around from house to house.
His five senses are outstanding, but he actually discovered something.
There seemed to be traces of soil being turned over in the corners of each courtyard, and the soil was moist, obviously not for too long.
Moreover, the smell of the soil is consistent with the unique smell wafting on the nearby roads. It is somewhat rancid and may be related to zombies.
He walked along the direction of the strong smell and came to the center of the village. The further he walked, the more obvious the smell of decay became. You Ziji was sure that there were many living corpses hidden here.
Sure enough, living corpses appeared in twos and threes on both sides of the road, and a large number of them had gathered on the vegetable patch directly in front.
Living corpses are very sensitive to flesh and blood. You Ziji didn't want to expose them and cause trouble, so he quietly got closer and took a closer look. He saw a pile of living corpses squatting on the vegetable field, rummaging clumsily.
"Is there something they want in this?"
Living corpses are not very intelligent. Without a leader to direct them, they will only rely on their instincts to look for blood. Could it be that someone is buried underground?
You Ziji deliberately made some noise to attract the attention of most of the zombies, and then he led them away. His movement speed was very fast, and when he saw that the distance was close, he easily shook off the living corpse following behind him, and then turned around.
On the vegetable patch, there were a few living corpses that were not attracted and still stayed here, seeming to be digging the ground.
These living corpses were no longer viable, and You Ziji blasted them away with one palm, losing their mobility.
After dealing with the living corpses, You Ziji came to where they were and saw that a small pit had been dug there.
"Is there really something hidden in the vegetable garden?"
Although there was a hoe next to him, You Ziji didn't have to work so hard. He took a few steps away, opened his star veins, and blasted Qi into his palms toward the ground.
Just hearing a series of rumbling sounds, the entire vegetable garden collapsed, revealing underground caves extending in all directions, which shocked You Ziji.
After taking a closer look, it became clear that someone must have escaped underground.
But thinking about it carefully, it wasn't right. Hao Laodao had chatted with him for a while and learned that Xiao Huang had also entered the formation. He also had earth beads in his hand, which could penetrate rocks and escape through earth.
There was no trace of Xiao Huang in the first four battles, so it must be here.
But since there are earth beads escaping to the ground, who dug this tunnel? Could it be that they were pursuers?
You Ziji pinched his breath and blew at the entrance of the cave, hoping that the wind would bring back some useful news.
After waiting for a while, it seemed that the hole was too big and there was no wind coming back at all, so You Ziji had to blow several times in succession.
Suddenly, a breeze came from behind, blowing the corners of You Ziji's clothes.
He thought it was a sneak attack, and turned around suddenly, only to realize that it was a false alarm.
It turns out that this cave is connected in all directions, and I don’t know which one is connected back again.
It seems that Xiao Huang was chased by the enemy in a panic, otherwise why would he have returned the same way?
The wanderer was not anxious, and waited quietly until the first ray of wind brought back news, and he finally discovered the direction of the enemy.
The news brought back by the wind was very vague. There was no sound except for the sound of digging, but it brought back a hint of smell.
After practicing his nose sense during this period, You Ziji has been able to distinguish many smells.
"The smell is very familiar. It's very similar to the corpse poison that was poisoned by Lieutenant Hong when the Sheriff's Mansion was attacked."
"As expected, you are, Mr. Hong."
You Ziji suddenly realized that he could basically pinpoint who the enemy was. No wonder there was no sound of speaking, not even the sound of breathing.
After all, Xiao Huang used earth beads to escape from the ground, and the place he passed would not be covered by the wind. This hole should have been dug by the zombie in the copper coffin.
This zombie can dig holes at the same speed as Xiao Huang's escape, which shows how hard its body is. It is probably no less powerful than ordinary magic weapons. You Ziji secretly paid attention to it.
As more and more news was brought back by the wind, You Ziji became confused.
But the zombies move very fast, and the wind takes a lot of time to turn around, making it impossible for You Ziji to judge.
He simply put his ear to the ground and searched for traces of zombies.
…
"I'm so unlucky."
"Damn Taoist priest, you've done me a disservice."
"Why does this unfortunate thing keep chasing me?"
"I'm just an innocent weasel. Killing me won't do any good."
"..."
Different from the news that You Ziji heard from the wind, Xiao Huang's place was very lively. He was running and barking incoherently, and he kept saying unexplained words.
The monster behind him never responded to it, but it continued to chatter without any delay.
With the help of earth beads, the speed at which it travels through the ground is the speed at which it runs. But the monster behind him had a hard body and was extremely powerful and tireless. He was digging a tunnel while chasing, and he was able to hang firmly behind Xiao Huang, making him dare not relax at all, let alone turn around to resist.
But using the magic weapon requires consuming true energy. Xiao Huang is just practicing his spiritual skills, so he doesn't have so much true energy for him to squander. Soon, he feels that he can't hold on any longer.
If he stayed underground any longer, he would still be caught sooner or later. It seemed that he needed to change his venue.
Xiao Huang suddenly changed direction, no longer escaping deep into the ground, but turned back upwards, trying to escape from the land.
"puff."
Xiao Huang's little head popped out of the ground. He looked around carefully and saw several huts nearby. Without saying a word, he jumped out of the ground.
A dry palm stretched out from the soil towards its back. Xiao Huang was so frightened that his hair exploded and he ran away.
The walls of the hut are all made of adobe, and Xiao Huang can still walk through them unimpeded with the earth beads in his hand.
Unfortunately, the zombie behind him also walked through unimpeded. With its body that was stronger than gold and iron, it smashed into earth walls and wooden beams, destroying all the buildings in front of it, without slowing down at all.
Xiao Huang's plan to rely on houses to stop zombies failed before it even started.
It was running away, but the hut collapsed suddenly because the beams were broken by the zombies, burying both guys inside.
The zombies are naturally unaffected. Their bodies are like iron nails that penetrate the house and remain standing.
Xiao Huang was affected by this sudden change. It was pressed under the ruins and seemed to be unable to adapt. It wanted to move up with the earth beads.
But he forgot that this place was not underground. It was covered with either thatch or wood, and it was impossible to get through.
Fortunately, it reacted well and immediately escaped underground, bypassing the collapsed hut and arriving at another courtyard.
When the zombie saw it escaping into the ground, he had already come here to crouch, and Xiao Huang crashed into his hand.
That zombie is so powerful that if it catches it, it will probably be crushed to death. Seeing the danger approaching, Xiao Huang moved forward due to inertia and was unable to turn.
At this life-and-death moment, You Ziji arrived in time. The situation was urgent, so You Ziji used all his strength to attack the belly of the zombie with his flying palm, trying to repel it.
I saw the zombie raising his arm to block it. It had copper skin and iron bones, and its body didn't even sway, so it took it so easily.
However, it stopped attacking Xiao Huang. It seemed to be afraid of You Ziji and retreated first.
You Ziji hurried over and picked up Xiao Huang. Its fur was messy and stuck with thatch, and it looked extremely miserable.
This time, he fell into Mr. Hong’s trap.
The entire space suddenly boiled without warning, and every living corpse rushed towards You Ziji's position from all directions.
Fortunately, there are houses and courtyards here, which can slow down their attack speed.
You Ziji stood in the garden, turning his palms around to stop all living corpses that tried to cross the earth wall.
But these living corpses were coming in a steady stream, and You Ziji couldn't guard them all.
Soon, several zombies climbed over the wall. Not to mention how many zombies were blocked behind them, there were also many zombies gathered in front of the gate. They rushed over and the simple gate soon became Being overwhelmed, the living corpses swarmed in.
With so many living corpses coming together, You Ziji could not continue to defend in the middle of the yard. When he saw that there were the most living corpses at the door, he took action to stop them.
Samadhi True Fire, the size of a fingernail, was ejected by You Ziji with just a few fingers, piercing a string of four living corpses and completely erupting on the fifth living corpse.
A fire instantly ignited at the gate, and many zombies were burned to ashes. Although the zombies continued to rush forward, they could not break through the fire at the main entrance.
The pressure of the attack on You Ziji suddenly became much less. At this time, only the living corpses that crossed the wall could still move.
He took Xiao Huang and hid in the house, blocking the entrance of the house alone.
His palms flew like falling flowers, and the air-splitting palm was very powerful. The head of the living corpse was shattered with one blow, or the living corpse was knocked away, and several living corpses behind him fell to the ground, reducing the pressure. .
But the good times didn't last long. All the living corpses in this space gathered together, and they kept coming and it was unknown when they would end. Besides, the flame at the door was almost extinguished.
This is not the most serious thing. There are many living corpses climbing up and standing on the roof of the house that has been ignored.
The roof of this thatched house was not very strong. From time to time, living corpses fell from the roof, and half of the entire roof collapsed. It was about to follow the footsteps of the previous house.
Xiao Huang hurriedly said to You Ziji: "You hold my tail, and I will take you out."
You Ziji immediately understood what Xiao Huang meant, it wanted to escape from the earth.
Youzi Ji Yiyan stretched out one hand to grab Xiao Huang's tail, and the other hand was not idle either. There was Samadhi True Fire attached to his hand. The moment before he escaped into the ground, the flame turned into a horse and swung out, not only blocking the The living corpses that surrounded them also set them all on fire.
A moment later, You Ziji and Xiao Huang came out of a room a few hundred meters away, and the thatched house was burned down together with the living corpses in the bursting flames.
"These living zombies suddenly appeared together. They must have received an order. It seems that Mr. Hong has been near the zombies, waiting for me to show up."
You Ziji suddenly understood why Xiao Huang had persisted for so long despite the huge gap between him and the zombies. It was probably from the moment he entered the earth formation that the zombies pursued Xiao Huang with all their strength.
Xiao Huang fell to the side and said feebly: "It's all good if you come. I don't care who is waiting for you. My energy has been exhausted, but I can't help at all. I'll leave the rest to you." .”
