From the beginning, it seemed they were being slowly cooked like the proverbial frog in the warm water of this tomb.
There were no traps at the front, just to lull them into a false sense of security, so a bigger move could be played here.
Indeed, upon reflection, this place was truly sinister, not only could it silently turn over eight hundred people into the living dead, but it could also quietly strip them of their Special Ability.
Even now, they hadn’t even found the main door to the tomb chamber, which likely meant even more bizarre things lay ahead.
Without a need for words, Li Wenli and Bai Junjun silently agreed to retreat outside, planning to regroup and concoct a longer-term plan later.
However, while Xiao Chan and others managed to retreat without issue, the living dead finally began to stir when Li Wenli and Bai Junjun tried to pull back.
Their limbs stiffly rotated as they started moving closer to the two of them.
Seeing this, Bai Junjun drew Vermilion Demon with a wary expression.
Just then, from above the dome shimmering with silver light, someone shouted loudly, "Kill them!"
Bai Junjun looked up only to see a skinny man clutching a round object, yelling threateningly at them.
"They are the ones who destroyed Black Spider; kill them, and you will gain eternal life!"
With that declaration, it was unmistakable that the person above was Black Six.
At Black Six’s command, those living dead hastened their pace, rushing to bite and lunge at Li Wenli and Bai Junjun.
Their body tissues had been altered; they felt no pain at that moment, and their physical potential was maximized.
Dealing with these people was relatively easy—if you could sever their central nervous system. The catch was you had to avoid being bitten or scratched, to prevent infection.
"It’s really goddamn haunted; I never thought I’d be killing zombies in ancient times!"
Bai Junjun was utterly speechless at the absurdity.
Li Wenli smirked in agreement, "Killing zombies is one thing, but not being able to use Special Ability? Luckily, this body has been well-restored."
If they had been as frail as before, they might as well have given up struggling, joined the zombie party, and helped rule the world outside.
At this moment, Xiao Chan and the others were stunned by the chaos inside.
The invasion of those more than eight hundred people howling eerily resembled a ghostly parade.
The group was dazed for a long while before they snapped to attention and thought to help, but Li Wenli forestalled them.
"Ah Dao, protect them and return the way we came."
"If I die here, in the next life I’ll become your Death Warrior."
Li Wenli answered casually while cutting off the head of one of the living dead.
Meanwhile, Bai Junjun found that sharp Vermilion Demon was her best ally.
She was like a soulless harvester of the living dead, quickly eliminating those crowded around her.
Ah Dao, seeing that they were still managing relatively easily, didn’t linger, pulling Xiao Chan and the others along as they took to their heels back the way they came.
Just then, Black Six yelled in desperation, "They can’t be allowed to escape! Don’t let anyone go."
Li Wenli glanced maliciously at the figure above, unable to resist smirking, "Blathering fool."
If Wind Blade were usable, he wouldn’t bother listening to this nonsense.
"What do you think he’s holding in his hand?"
Even at this critical moment, Li Wenli still casually chatted with Bai Junjun, unfazed.
Bai Junjun, already deep among the living dead, actually took a moment to look, "Who knows, it’s probably something that suppresses our abilities."
Li Wenli’s eyes lit up at her words.
"Okay, I’ll check it out."
Li Wenli, implying his intent, changed his movement, continuously closing in on that person.
