The canyon is filled with an atmosphere of panic, the dark cliffs, the howling wind from time to time, and the environment gives people a depressing feeling.

"Sister Liz, it's so scary here!" Xilu tugged at the corner of Artolis's clothes and glanced around her, as if there were man-eating beasts hiding there, staring at her eagerly.

"Don't scare yourself, my sister is here."

"I don't know who is holding my clothes." Listening to Artoris' words of comfort to Xilu, Gawain broke out in sweat.

"Hmph...I'm...not afraid! It's so dark here, I...I'm just afraid you'll get lost!" He said he wasn't afraid, but his voice was trembling! Hearing this, Gawain helplessly spread his hands and led the three of them deeper into the canyon.

After walking for about an hour and a half, when I got here, the sun couldn't shine in. The three of them could barely see the road ahead clearly through the light of the Qinglian Pure Fire.

Following Gawain, Artolis suddenly smelled a strange smell, and then stopped in front of Gawain.

"It's a putrid smell! There are decaying corpses of creatures ahead."

"Corpse"? Hearing this, both Gawain and Xilu were shocked.

"Otherwise, we'd better go back..." At this time, Xilu began to retreat. Indeed, this place was too scary.

"Shh, 70% of fear comes from psychology, don't think about nonsense." Gawain's words echoed in the empty valley, allowing Artoris and Xilu to relax their tense nerves.

The sound of the wind stopped at some point. Gawain put his hand forward, and the dancing blue flames illuminated the scenery in front of him. It was then that they discovered that the canyon here had narrowed. The three of them walked dozens of steps again, and the road widened again, and soon it became clear.

"Hey, why is this area different from what's shown on the map?" Holding the golden map, Artolis felt that the scene in front of her was very strange. The map shows that this area is a wide canyon just like other places. There is no narrow terrain like the one just now?

"Hi~his~" At this moment, a strange voice came from in front of the three of them.

Out of curiosity, Gawain stepped forward, but his foot suddenly slipped. In the darkness, Gawain had no idea that there was a hole in front of him, and he fell down.

Seeing this, Artoris and Xilu hurriedly lay on the edge of the hollow and looked down.

"Gawain, how's it going?"

"Brother Wen! Are you okay?"

In their field of vision, the green-blue fire stopped ten meters horizontally and about four meters vertically below.

"Damn it, who dug a hole here!" Gawain complained as he climbed up while rubbing the back of his head.

"Xu" Both of them breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Gawain's complaint.

"Come down, you can pass here." Gawain shouted from below.

"Wait, don't come down yet!" Just when Artolis and Xilu were about to jump into the pit, Gawain suddenly changed his words, and his tone was obviously a little urgent.

Almost the second after Gawain said these words, the ground of the canyon suddenly began to tremble. Bursts of footsteps echoed in the canyon. Gawain increased the brightness of the Green Lotus Pure Fire, and soon the true identity of the culprit who made such sounds was revealed in front of the three of them.

In the deep pit, a group of humans wearing armor appeared in front of Gawain. Maybe they weren't humans either! Under the light of the Green Lotus Pure Fire, Artolis could clearly see the face of one of the armored men.

"Hiss~" Artolis took a breath, looking at the dry and distorted face, the empty eyes, and the two sharp teeth on the mouth full of cavities. For a moment, the word "zombie" appeared in Artolis' mind.

"Ouch"!

"Get out of here quickly!" Gawain shouted, summoning Daoyun Wuxin, and at the same time waved his left hand, a large green lotus pure fire instantly formed a blockade in front of the zombies.

"Ouch~"

However, even the Green Lotus Pure Fire could not stop the zombies. One by one passed through the blockade of flames and roared towards Gawain despite the burning of the Green Lotus Pure Fire.

"ah"! Shilu's scream came from behind Artoris. Artoris was shocked when she turned around, only to see a group of zombies blocking the way they came.

Where did these guys come from? Why didn’t I notice it when I passed by before? And soon the zombies told them the answer through actions.

Suddenly, a corrupt hand burst out of the ground from Artoris's feet and grabbed Artoris's heels.

Artoris's expression changed, and she subconsciously kicked her feet to break away. Perhaps due to the difference in strength, she used a little force to kick the corrupt hand away, and Artoris quickly grabbed Xilu and jumped back.

And at the next moment, a zombie burst out of the ground, roaring and rushing towards the two of them.

Looking at the other party's mangled and distorted face, Artoris broke out in a cold sweat. But his hand did not stop, he took out his sword-edged bow and slashed at the opponent. There was just a crisp sound, and the zombie's arm was cut off.

The zombie's amputated arm shot out green liquid, and when the liquid was about to splash onto Artoris, Aoki Tatsumi's wind burst out instantly, scattering the liquid. Green liquid was scattered on the ground, and smoke was rising.

Artoris took a deep breath. The green liquid looked poisonous, so she couldn't let it splash on her.

He turned around and kicked the zombie down the pit. The zombie rolled and hit its head on a boulder, and died immediately.

"That narrow gap at the intersection!" Artoris raised her head and looked at the group of corpses approaching the two of them, pulling the frightened Xilu back carefully. No wonder I didn't see these guys just now. They were all hiding in the narrow wall at the intersection. I found the three of them walking by and climbed out of the wall.

"Gawain, the intersection is blocked!" Artolis turned back and shouted towards the pit. At the same time, she moved to the side, avoiding another hand that emerged from the soil and was about to grab her.

On the other side, Gawain was also having a hard time coping. Although the level of these zombies is not high, there are too many of them, and the opponents are not afraid of death at all, and they rush towards them one by one. Fortunately, the opponent was an undead monster and was affected by the possessed bone chain. After hearing what Artoris said, Gawain was distracted and his arm was almost bitten by a zombie.

After lighting the zombie with flames, Gawain replied: "Then come down and make a way out from here!"

"Xilu, you go down first."

"Um"!

Artoris gently sent Xilu away and let her slide down the edge of the pit. And Gawain quickly used the Green Lotus Pure Fire to open a path to greet her.

At this moment, Artolis felt a chill on her back. Without hesitation, Artolis suddenly thrust her elbow backwards and hit the "Taiqing Sword Guide". The elbow attached to the Taiqing Sword Qi was as hard as a blade, directly knocking the zombie several meters away, and at the same time, it also crushed the two behind. Only zombies.

Holding Xi Lu with one hand, Gao Wen activated the "Wanhua" special skill of Dao Yun Wuxin in his hand, and it immediately turned into a glazed chain.

"Gawain, what should I do? There's no way to get stuck in this terrain." Artoris then jumped down and asked.

Different from the previous battle with the skeleton monster, the current terrain is relatively empty, and even the only narrow area is blocked by zombies.

"Then try to break through head-on!" Gawain said, waving the glazed chain in his hand.

As Gawain swung the chain forward, the zombies that were rushing towards him were instantly swept away.
