The second flame was fired at the undead that had killed the two villagers. The rotting corpses were sent flying, and the explosion even set the wooden fence on fire.
The rain had weakened the power of the flames. The flames on the zombie were soon put out. The young man called Hong Jun spat on the ground disdainfully …
If it weren't for the rain, the zombie would have been blasted into pieces by his two Fire Bursts!
The zombie was not dead yet. It rose to its feet and opened its bloody mouth, roaring at Hong Jun.
Its body had been blasted beyond recognition, but the speed of the undead did not decrease in the slightest. It lunged at Hong Jun on all fours ….
Another Fire Burst appeared in Hong Jun's hand. Unfortunately, the Fire Burst did not hit the zombie this time. As a result, the undead that had been burned beyond recognition was already right in front of Hong Jun. Hong Jun's face turned pale from fright!
"Back off!"
An old man's voice came from the side. It was Chief Xie Sang, who had come to retrieve the herbs!
Xie Sang's body was surrounded by rolling waves. As he gave a loud shout, a raging torrent rolled towards the rotten corpse, making loud noises.
Halfway through the jump, the rotting corpse was knocked down by the violent waves. After sinking into the torrent, the rotting corpse immediately lost all ability to move, and was violently pushed out of the wooden fence by the violent waves.
Azure's wooden stake was destroyed, and the Rotting Corpse was washed far away. It was no longer a threat to them.
The villagers let out a relieved sigh. Luckily, their chief was an Intermediate Magician. Otherwise, they would have no idea what to do against a mutated undead.
"You almost lost your life because of your arrogance!" Xie Sang walked up to Hong Jun and harrumphed coldly.
Only now did Hong Jun return to his senses, and he still had a stubborn appearance.
He ignored the chief's scolding and quickly went to Su Xiaoluo. However, his eyes flickered angrily when he saw the wild idiot who had come out of nowhere helping Su Xiaoluo up.
He was the one who saved her, why was the kid trying to please her instead?
"How many years has it been since a mutated undead showed up … why did it appear all of a sudden?" Su Xiaoluo glanced at the corpse of the undead that had been swept far away.
"Who knows, but don't you worry, with me here, those undead won't be able to hurt you," said Hong Jun.
Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaohou had taken out a huge black umbrella from somewhere. He was about to lift it up for Su Xiaoluo, who was still drenched in the rain. To his surprise, Hong Jun snatched the umbrella away and thanked him. He then shared the umbrella with Su Xiaoluo, leaving Zhang Xiaohou to the side.
Su Xiaoluo was too preoccupied with the mutated undead to notice the jealousy between the two. Hong Jun's lips curled as he looked at Zhang Xiaohou.
"I want to check the corpse," said Su Xiaoluo.
"I'll go with you," said Zhang Xiaohou.
"You should just stay in the village, you idiot who can't even remember who you are. Didn't you see how strong the undead are? Don't you think you'll be the first one to run for your life if another mutated undead shows up." Hong Jun shoved Zhang Xiaohou. His other hand ignited a little flame as if he was performing a magic trick, trying to show off.
"Can you not be so childish?" Su Xiaoluo rolled her eyes. She put on her raincoat and went out of the fence.
"Xiaoluo, it's better if you don't go, it's too dangerous …" said Guru Xie.
A tanned old man nodded and said, "Yeah, it's even more dangerous to leave the village."
"It must be a curse, I told you it's a curse!" yelled the villager with a pointy face who was scared out of his wits.
"Son of a bitch, can you stop scaring yourself all the time?" said Hong Jun.
Xie Sang stood to the side with an expressionless face. Most of the villagers had come out too. They immediately panicked when they saw the two bloody corpses. They quickly gathered around Chief Xie Sang.
The village grew up on the special water from the well. As long as the villagers drank a certain amount of water from the well every month, they would not be attacked by the undead. As such, the village did not really need Magicians … However, considering how close the village was to the Qinling Mountains, it was possible that some demon beasts would come here to hunt for food. Since the demon beasts would not fall for their trick, most villages would only have one or two Magicians, and most of them would be the village chief …
Now that the mutated undead had shown up, the Magicians who were the only ones capable of fighting the undead were extremely important.
"Xiaoluo, go and check out the zombies. Hong Jun, go with her, just in case there are more undead out there. Fu Da, you shouldn't go with them. You're not from the village, so you haven't been nourished by the water from the well. Normal undead are going to attack you, "said Xie Sang.
Chief Xie Sang asked a few other brave young men to go with him. Su Xiaoluo led them through the wooden fences that were blown away by the strong waves and headed out of the village.
The zombies had been washed quite far away, at least a hundred to two hundred meters away. The villagers would not simply leave the village at night. Even though the undead were not attacking them, who could guarantee that there would not be any undead with overwhelming hatred that would kill anything that moved?
The rest of the villagers did not have the guts to leave the village. They gathered around the wooden fences and watched the zombies from afar.
It was currently evening, and the light was even dimmer due to the rain. They could only see around three to four hundred meters away. If they stayed any longer, the sky would turn completely dark and they would not be able to see anything anymore.
Su Xiaoluo, Hong Jun, and three other young men went up to the zombies. Su Xiaoluo was a doctor, thus she was not afraid of the zombies. She crouched down and inspected the zombies.
"Hurry … hurry up."
"It's just a corpse, there's nothing to see …"
The two young men trembled, not daring to stay any longer.
Hong Jun mocked them, "Why are you so scared when I'm here?"
"You're right, you're right, Brother Hong Jun is a Fire Magician. A third-level Basic Magician! "
"Isn't that pretty impressive in the outside world too?" said another young man.
"Of course."
Su Xiaoluo frowned slightly, before rising to her feet helplessly.
The others immediately asked her why the zombies were attacking them.
"It's just an ordinary undead," concluded Su Xiaoluo.
"How is that possible? We've been drinking the water from the well for generations. It's supposed to be protected. Besides, every family has accepted the Ritual of the God of the Well last month. How could we be attacked by an undead?" said one of the young men.
Su Xiaoluo fell into deep thought. She had no idea how to answer the question.
Hong Jun didn't really care. Just as he was about to say a few words of comfort, a bone-chilling sound suddenly came from nearby the curtain of rain …
It sounded like someone was dragging their body, chewing on rotten meat, or cracking joints. The sound came from all directions, and gradually became clearer in the pouring rain.
"My Heavens!"
