The zombies' attacks gradually slowed down and the situation fell into a deadlock.
As time passed, Gu Masters sacrificed themselves or zombies fell to the ground from time to time.
Two hours later, Ding Hao followed Fang Yuan's instructions and suddenly increased his momentum, breaking through the already perilous front line.
There were only thirty or so people left in the caravan.
They had to break through! They had the same opinion, everyone could see: If they broke through, there was still a chance of survival. If they stubbornly defended, they would definitely perish.
Breaking through was a bitter struggle, they were surrounded by layers upon layers of white-hair zombies and black-hair zombies blocking their way.
"Don't protect these mortals anymore, they are a burden to us!" Jia Long shouted.
Shang Xin Ci and Xiao Die turned pale.
"Don't be afraid, I am here." Fang Yuan guarded beside them.
The rest of the mortals were mercilessly abandoned, only the two of them were left.
Jia Long and the others did not dare to say anything, because they still had to rely on Fang and Bai's strength.
The caravan moved with difficulty, and just as they were about to break through, two green-hair zombies suddenly appeared.
"Let's retreat." Fang Yuan pulled Shang Xin Ci and Xiao Die and said in a low voice.
Bai Ning Bing's movements paused, wouldn't they fall back into the encirclement if they retreated?
But Fang Yuan had already retreated with Shang Xin Ci and Xiao Die. Bai Ning Bing gritted her teeth, looking at the empty space in front of her, she finally turned around and retreated with Fang Yuan.
The caravan and the two green-hair zombies collided and a chaotic battle broke out.
The green-hair zombies were as strong as thousand beast kings, and although the caravan had many rank three Gu Masters, they were at the end of their rope.
As they fought, the surrounding black-hair zombies and white-hair zombies also closed in, surrounding the caravan.
On the contrary, Fang and Bai's pressure was greatly reduced.
Fang Yuan retreated dozens of steps and began to break through again.
Along the way, there were many white-hair zombies, but Fang Yuan charged left and right with extreme power, the white-hair zombies fell to the ground and died if they touched them.
Bai Ning Bing was dumbstruck, was this Fang Yuan's true strength?
"Eh, these white-haired zombies are so weak …" When she made her move, she immediately discovered something strange.
The white-haired zombies that blocked their way were several times weaker than the ones they had encountered before, and they looked rather foolish. Without a decent offensive, he was just like a punching bag.
"Could it be that Fang Yuan had already seen through this flaw and was only making use of it now? Strange, these white-haired zombies all look the same, how did he discover these weaknesses? "Bai Ning Bing was puzzled.
Fang Yuan, however, was cursing in his heart.
Before he left, he had told Ding Hao to pretend to be strong but actually weak. He had to act realistically. What was this now?
Ding Hao was sweating profusely.
There had never been a moment like this when he was so focused on controlling the zombie army.
He was very nervous, feeling that he had ruined the Eldest Senior Brother's secret mission. Guilt and worry made him try his best to cooperate with Fang Yuan's act. Previously, he didn't know Fang Yuan's identity, but now that he knew that he was his Eldest Senior Brother, how would he dare to make a move?
"So powerful!" Xiao Die exclaimed.
Shang Xin Ci's beautiful eyes were also shining.
Fang Yuan galloped unhindered in front of them, and no one could stop him. He had a kind of invincible spirit!
Who didn't love heroes?
Which girl didn't have a Prince Charming in their heart, a hero who would save the damsel in distress?
Xiao Die had it, and so did Shang Xin Ci.
At this moment, the master and servant looked at Fang Yuan's broad back, their hearts rippling.
Although Fang Yuan was ugly, in their eyes, this ugliness exuded a cute radiance. His bravery, his spirit, gave the two girls an inexplicable sense of security in their hearts. It made them want to rely on him, to rely on him.
"His acting is too fake, this coward!" Fang Yuan wished he could kick Ding Hao until he had no descendants. His thoughts flashed like lightning, and he also thought of Ding Hao's mental state.
"Seems like this is the only way …" Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes, and made up his mind. He suddenly removed the Sky Canopy Gu, and charged towards a white-haired zombie's claw.
Immediately, Fang Yuan's flesh split open, and he was injured.
"Good, that's it!" Fang Yuan cheered in his heart. This was the best chance to gain Shang Xin Ci's trust, how could he let it go?
"Damn it!!" Bai Ning Bing cursed, and immediately left Shang Xin Ci, and ran towards Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan had the Yang Gu, and that was the key to her turning back into a male, she could not lose it.
"Oh my god!!!" Ding Hao saw Fang Yuan injured, and he immediately shivered in fear. His heart was filled with self-blame and worry, and his face was panic-stricken, and he kept muttering to himself: "I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean it, eldest senior brother!"
"Ah …" Shang Xin Ci and Xiao Die cried out together.
Fang Yuan was suddenly injured, and they both trembled with heartache.
"What are you doing here, go back and protect them!" Bai Ning Bing rushed over, and Fang Yuan shouted at her.
Bai Ning Bing's blue eyes instantly widened. She could see — this guy was deliberately injured, what a bastard!
"Don't go too far." Bai Ning Bing's eyes twitched as she threw down this sentence.
With Ding Hao controlling from the side, the white-haired zombie bared its fangs and brandished its claws, but it was all bark and no bite.
Bai Ning Bing kicked away a white-haired zombie, and rushed back to Shang Xin Ci's side.
"How is Hei Tu?" Shang Xin Ci grabbed Bai Ning Bing's arm and asked.
"He's fine." Bai Ning Bing curled her lips.
"Why didn't you replace him, he's injured!" Shang Xin Ci, who had always been gentle, said with a rare resentment.
Bai Ning Bing's mouth twitched, she couldn't tell Shang Xin Ci that Fang Yuan took the initiative to get injured, right? Thus, she casually came up with an excuse: "He's this kind of person, once he starts charging, he will never stop, unless he falls."
Shang Xin Ci's beautiful eyes flickered, and slightly reddened.
Xiao Die covered her mouth, and her eyes were already moist.
Looking at Fang Yuan again, the master and servant's hearts rippled. What kind of person was this!? Fearless in the horde of zombies, charging forward with an indomitable will. Without a doubt, he was a hero, a hero full of sadness!
Ding Hao saw that Fang Yuan was injured, and his heart trembled with fear, not daring to stop him.
After fighting for a while, Fang Yuan brought Shang Xin Ci and the other two out of the encirclement of the zombies.
"That's it?" He smacked his lips in dissatisfaction, looking at the only injury on his body helplessly. It was such a good opportunity to perform, but he only got one injury, his acting was not good enough.
But even if it was only one injury, it was enough to make Shang Xin Ci and Xiao Die extremely worried.
"Hei Tu, are you okay? You're injured, the wound is so deep, it's all because of me! "Shang Xin Ci's eyes were filled with tears.
"A lot of black blood flowed out, Lord Hei Tu, you're poisoned." Xiao Die said with concern.
Fang Yuan puffed out his chest, and with a deep voice, he said fearlessly: "What's this small injury? The corpse poison is a bit troublesome, but I have the Clear Heat Gu to detoxify it, you don't need to worry. Hehehe … "
He started laughing.
On the ruins of the camp, flames soared to the sky. In order to cut off all means of retreat, and also to illuminate the camp, everyone in the caravan ignited whatever they could before leaving.
Fang Yuan and the other three rushed out of the encirclement of the zombies, and found themselves in the outer circle illuminated by the flames.
The flames shone on Fang Yuan's face, his chest, and his wound.
He was smiling, his appearance was ugly, but in the eyes of the two girls, he exuded a different kind of heroic charm!
They had once dreamed of a hero saving a damsel in distress, and the hero in their dreams was handsome and confident. To be honest, the image of Fang Yuan in their hearts was very different.
But for some reason, the two girls felt that he was a true hero! He was confident, he was fearless, and his heroic spirit was unparalleled!
Many years later, Shang Xin Ci would ask herself, how did Fang Yuan walk into the depths of her heart?
Every time, she would involuntarily think back to this night —
Behind them, zombies were everywhere, and the soaring flames shone on Fang Yuan's face. His face was full of burn marks, and when he smiled, he revealed his white teeth. His deep and dark eyes looked at her, the usually cold eyes, under the cover of the orange flames, revealed a kind of warmth.
"Save us!" The people in the caravan who were deep in the zombie horde, saw the situation on Fang Yuan's side, and shouted for help.
Fang Yuan's eyes flashed, but he did not say anything.
Shang Xin Ci had already extended her hand, and grabbed his arm: "You're injured, don't go, let's go. Do you remember what you told me before? Do what you can. "
Do what you can, you can feel at ease.
Fang Yuan laughed, and patted Shang Xin Ci's hand: "Don't worry, I don't want to go, I have no grudges with them. Let's go! "
However, it was also inappropriate to walk like this.
What if someone knew that he killed Zhang Zhu, and shouted out in despair, what would Shang Xin Ci think?
In truth, his worry was unnecessary. Chen Xin and Chen Shuang Quan who knew had already died in battle.
Fang Yuan's eyes flashed, and shouted: "You guys hold on, wait until I settle them down, then I'll come and help you!"
"Brother Hei Tu is righteous!"
"I hope Brother Hei Tu will go and return quickly!"
"If Brother Hei Tu saves my life, I'm willing to repay you with a large sum of money!"
The people in the caravan all shouted.
Fang Yuan laughed, and looked at the master and servant's puzzled eyes, and said: "Give them some hope, I hope they can create a miracle. Sigh, I can only do this much. "
Fang Yuan's image in the hearts of the two girls suddenly became much bigger.
Fang Yuan led the three, and ran along the mountain path.
Under the moonlight, the mountain path was covered with frost and snow.
According to the previous discussion, he also arranged for a group of zombies to block the path.
The four rushed over, and Fang Yuan gave Bai Ning Bing a look, and then stayed on the spot: "You guys go first, I'll block these zombies, and catch up to you later."
The two girls immediately hesitated, but under Bai Ning Bing's persuasion, they ran all the way, and soon left Fang Yuan's sight.
Fang Yuan waited for a while, and pretended to tangle with the zombies. Seeing that the time was ripe, he activated jumping grass, and crossed the zombies, and returned to Ding Hao's side.
The battle was still going on.
There were only three people left in the caravan. But what shocked Fang Yuan was that one of the green-hair zombies was also destroyed!
After asking Ding Hao, Fang Yuan found out that a Gu Master had used a rare rank three detonation Gu.
"Eldest senior brother." Ding Hao quickly bowed, his face pale, and his forehead was covered in sweat.
He had never tried to split his mind to control zombies at such a high intensity. Most importantly, cooperating with Fang Yuan's acting had exhausted him.
In the past, when he commanded the zombies, they would either retreat or attack. It was not like today, when they attacked with bare fangs and claws, but had to attack empty space. After being hit by Fang Yuan, he had to control these zombies to stay still.
"Eldest senior brother, how are your injuries? I really didn't mean it, I have healing Gu here. "Ding Hao quickly explained.
Fang Yuan patted his shoulder: "You are good, you are very hardworking. My injuries are not important, I took them myself. Now, put in more effort, and eliminate all these people! "
"Yes." Hearing Fang Yuan's words, Ding Hao immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
Turning around, he gathered his spirit, and pushed countless zombies forward.
The three survivors knew that they were going to die, one closed his eyes and sighed, one scolded Fang Yuan, and one cried loudly.
Under death, everyone's nature was revealed.
The zombies drowned these three people, and Fang Yuan nodded in satisfaction: "Did anyone escape?"
"No, definitely not. According to eldest senior brother's instructions, I also arranged a large circle of zombies outside." Ding Hao quickly replied.
"Very good, you have done well. Clean up the battlefield, be careful not to leave any traces. "
"Yes, eldest senior brother."
Ding Hao had ambushed caravans all these years, but did not expose himself, he had a certain level of skill. Cleaning up the battlefield was easy, and even Fang Yuan secretly nodded his head, pretending to be ordinary zombies attacking caravans.
However, although he was older than Fang Yuan, he was not as experienced as Fang Yuan.
During this period, Fang Yuan gave him a few pointers, and made up for his mistakes, which made him admire him.
For example, Yuan stones could not be taken all, and had to be left behind, the zombies would not pick up Yuan stones. Another example was not to turn all the corpses into zombies, after all, there were deep and shallow zombie poisons, and could not be 100% turned into zombies.
"Eldest senior brother, please accept these Yuan stones." After a cup of tea's time, Ding Hao sensibly presented the Yuan stones he had obtained.
Fang Yuan glanced at it, there were about 13,000 Yuan stones. He accepted them without hesitation, and put them all into tusita flowers.
"How was your harvest this time?" Fang Yuan patted Ding Hao's shoulder, and asked warmly.
Ding Hao's pale face showed excitement: "The harvest this time is huge. I got five complete bodies, all Rank three Gu Masters. There are also over a dozen Gu Master corpses, all of them have been nurtured. After turning into zombies, they are at least black-haired zombies. "
"Hahaha, the harvest is good. Take good care of these black-haired zombies, there will definitely be new green-haired zombies. "
Ding Hao nodded repeatedly, his face full of admiration: "This is the first time I have devoured a caravan. It is all thanks to eldest senior brother that you attracted beast groups along the way, weakening them. Ding Hao's harvest is all thanks to eldest senior brother. "
"You are also not bad, you commanded well. But looking at your face, you have used too much energy, your mind is haggard, and your soul has already been injured, you need to rest for a while. In our lineage, the maintenance of the soul is very important. If the soul is not strong, the mind will be weak, and it will be harder to command the zombies. "Fang Yuan smiled, his voice gentle.
"Thank you eldest senior brother for your concern!" Ding Hao had been alone for the last ten years, this was the first time he was so cared for by others, he could not help but be excited and moved.
This agitation caused him to feel a strong dizziness, his body swayed, and if not for Fang Yuan supporting him, he would have fallen to the ground.
"I am ashamed! My cultivation is not up to par, I feel dizzy and my mind cannot operate properly. "Ding Hao barely managed to stand up.
"No worries, go back to the cave and have a good sleep. When you wake up the next day, although your head will be splitting, your mind will be mostly recovered, and you can freely command these zombies. "Fang Yuan smiled.
"Yes. I have experience in this area, once I summoned too many zombies and almost fainted on the spot. Hehehe. "Ding Hao laughed.
"Mm … I will be leaving soon, little junior brother, I have acknowledged you. Have a good rest, wait for me to return, I will bring you to meet master. By the way, where is that cave of yours? "
"It is at the waist of the mountain, beside a yin pond. It is very easy to find, the yin pond is in the shape of a pentagram, very unique. " Ding Hao was overjoyed, he quickly replied, "Eldest senior brother, do you really not want to come to my cave for a while?"
"No, time is tight, I have a secret mission from my master. Oh no, someone faked his death, there is still a fish that escaped the net! "
"Where!" Ding Hao's heart shook, he quickly turned to look.
Chi!
The next moment, a bone spear pierced through his head.
Plop.
Ding Hao fell to the ground, a thick spiral bone spear pierced through his head. Blood and brain matter flowed along the spiral carvings, slowly flowing down.
His eyes were wide open, his face frozen with disbelief.
The smile on Fang Yuan's face gradually disappeared, he became expressionless. He slowly bent down, grabbed Ding Hao's feet, and slowly dragged him to the ruins of the camp.
The fire was still burning, the zombies that had lost their master began to jump aimlessly.
The corpses lying on the ground, attracted them, tempted them.
They crawled on the corpses, and began to gnaw and tear.
Fang Yuan dragged Ding Hao's corpse, walking through the corpse-strewn battlefield, his ears filled with the sounds of zombies feasting.
He threw Ding Hao into the fire, and quietly watched as Ding Hao's corpse slowly melted. The Gu worms on his body also let out mournful cries, and were burned to death one by one.
Once Shang Xin Ci was recognized by the Shang clan leader, she would be closely investigated by the Shang clan. This battlefield would definitely be of utmost importance.
If Ding Hao was unfortunately caught, and interrogated to reveal the truth, then Fang Yuan would be in danger.
Even though he was honest, easy to deceive, and a good pawn, compared to Shang Xin Ci, his value was far from enough. Moreover, it was dangerous, it was safest to abandon him.
And the Gu worms on him also had to be abandoned. As long as Fang Yuan brought them with him, Second Zombie King would be able to find Fang Yuan. Moreover, it would be extremely inconvenient for Fang Yuan to feed the Rigid Heart Gu, and it would also leave traces for the Shang clan's investigation.
As for these zombies, after losing their master, they all became ordinary zombies.
After they finished gnawing on these corpses, a portion would stay here, while the rest would leave and wander around Mu Bei Mountain in search of blood and food.
It was believed that after their treatment, the entire scene would be more realistic.
Seeing Ding Hao's corpse burn to ashes, Fang Yuan slowly turned and left.
