After a series of attacks, the skeletal zombie was killed by a Later Qin warrior.
When it was killed, its corpse turned into a puddle of pus, emitting a foul stench.
Lan and the others also returned. Because there were too many trees and vegetation in the mountain forest, they didn't dare to rashly enter.
"Your Highness, it's bad. Liu Wu can't hold on any longer."
Liu Wu was the Later Qin warrior who had been injured by the zombie warrior.
His bleeding had already stopped, but where his arm had been cut off, his flesh and bone had already changed color. The zombie poison was seeping into the other parts of his body. It wouldn't be long before he would become like that zombie martial artist, completely losing his humanity. He wouldn't even be able to recognize his own brothers and relatives.
Lan and the others stood to the side with solemn expressions.
Dugu Xiu stood guard by the warrior's side, not saying a word.
"Your Highness, this subordinate doesn't ask for anything other than death." Liu Wu revealed a gloomy smile.
Rather than becoming a zombie that was neither human nor ghost and hurting his brothers, he would rather die now.
"Is there any way?" Dugu Xiu didn't raise his head, but asked Yun Sheng.
Faced with such a situation, Yun Sheng was also very gloomy. However, she was also powerless. She had never experienced zombie poison before and didn't have any medicinal herbs that could be used at the moment.
Silence was the best answer.
Dugu Xiu hung his head. The other six Later Qin warriors also had red eyes.
Madam Chi Bi also had a gloomy expression.
These people were all good brothers who had gone through fire and water together. It was too cruel to let Dugu Xiu personally kill them.
"Liu Wu, this Crown Prince promises you that as long as I, Dugu Xiu, am alive, I will ensure that your family will not have to worry about food and clothing." Dugu Xiu suddenly stood up and pulled out his heavy sword.
With a blunt sound, the skull was shattered. Liu Wu closed his eyes forever.
Dugu Xiu's face didn't show any grief, but the hand holding the heavy sword trembled slightly.
As the iron-blooded Crown Prince of Later Qin, Dugu Xiu had to be iron-blooded and emotionless in this kind of situation.
Because the zombie poison was contagious, Dugu Xiu asked Lan to burn Liu Wu's corpse.
The weapons in the hands of the martial artists who had slaughtered the zombie martial artists earlier were all tempered with fire once again.
Since the zombie magician had escaped, no one dared to rashly enter the depths of the forest.
After discussing for a while, everyone decided to turn back the way they came.
That night, no one slept well. They still couldn't find a way out.
Everyone was guessing what had happened in the forest that night. What had caused the warrior and magician to become like this?
In the latter half of the night, a whimpering sound came from the forest, as if some wild beast was moving around.
"There's an enemy attack." Ye Beiming suddenly sat up.
The others also stood up. When they saw the situation in front of them clearly, everyone's scalps went numb, and a sense of horror arose spontaneously.
The sound came from the trees. Looking carefully, the trees that had been empty during the day were now filled with owl-like birds.
They looked the same as the zombie warriors and zombie magicians during the day: half rotten flesh and half skeletons.
There were no feathers on its body, and its body was burning with a strange green flame that resembled a will-o '-the-wisp.
In the dark night, balls of will-o '-the-wisp were like the will-o' -the-wisp of the netherworld in a graveyard. It was very frightening.
"Keke." On a tree in front of them, the magician who had escaped during the day was looking at everyone with a ghastly expression.
He waved the magic scepter in his hand, and a green magical wall of fire instantly drilled out of the ground, forming a circle of fire that surrounded all seventeen people.
Lan chanted, wanting to use ice magic to extinguish the magical wall of fire.
Who would have thought that ice magic would have no effect on the strange wall of fire, and the fire continued to burn fiercely.
Off to the side, a female magician screamed. Because she couldn't dodge in time, her body was stained by the green wall of fire.
It was just a bit of fire, but in the blink of an eye, her body quickly changed.
Her flesh quickly decayed, and her white bones could be seen. She quickly turned into a zombie magician.
She jumped up and stood on the tree with the zombie magician.
The female magician was an earth magician. As soon as she turned into a zombie, she quickly pierced a few earth spikes.
What made everyone tremble with fear was that her earth spikes actually carried the effect of zombie poison.
The raging fire approached step by step, and no one dared to rush out of the wall of fire. In addition, they also had to be on guard against the earth spikes that were everywhere.
"Damn it, what the hell is that?" Madam Chi Bi was also unlucky. There were several times when she was almost hit by the earth spikes. She didn't want to become like the zombie female magician, who was neither human nor ghost.
"Little wild cat, follow me." Ye Beiming's gaze focused. The situation was critical, and he had to make a decision in the shortest amount of time.
Whether or not they could successfully break out of the encirclement was not only related to him, but also related to Yun Sheng's life.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Beiming reacted. His right arm shook, and a biting cold fighting aura tore apart the green zombie fire.
He then stomped his feet, hiding Yun Sheng behind him, and a layer of biting cold fighting aura emanated from his body.
The wind tore a crack in the zombie fire, just enough for the two of them to pass through.
He pulled Yun Sheng and was about to cross the gap in the fire.
As for the others, he was too lazy to pay attention to them.
When Dugu Xiu saw this, he didn't show any signs of weakness. He roared, and a dense black fighting aura surrounded his body. He reached out and protected Madam Chi Bi under his hand.
He leapt up, reaching a height of several dozen meters. Without using his fighting aura wings, he had already passed through the wall of fire.
Yun Sheng was pulled along by Ye Beiming, but she was still worried about Qi and Sister Lan.
Just as the two of them were about to cross the wall of fire, Yun Sheng's eyelids twitched.
"Not good." Yun Sheng's sharp senses detected a wave of earth magic that was about to take action.
The zombie female magician had already chanted, and several earth spikes that were dipped in zombie poison broke out of the ground.
If this continued, Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming would both be stabbed. Without any hesitation, Yun Sheng broke free from Ye Beiming's hand and pushed Ye Beiming away.
Her body, however, fell into the zombie fire due to the strong inertia.
The zombie fire gathered once again, and the green flames instantly engulfed Yun Sheng.
"Yun Sheng." Ye Beiming's heart trembled.
His fear transformed into an icy chill that invaded his entire body, and a vicious aura engulfed Ye Beiming like a flood.
In that instant, his gray eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty killing intent, and scales burst out from his arms.
Seeing Yun Sheng fall into the fire, Dugu Xiu's heart also trembled. He pushed Madam Yun Sheng outside and was about to rush into the fire to rescue Yun Sheng.
Just at this moment, Dugu Xiu's eyes froze, and his body that was about to jump into the fire stopped abruptly.
He thought that he was seeing things, but there was a trace of red in the zombie fire that was burning again.
