In the blood pool, Zuo Zhicheng slowly opened his eyes. The entire blood pool had become a clear pool, and the original red color had completely disappeared.
He clenched his fists slightly and could feel an explosive force rumbling in his body.
He looked down and saw that the wounds and lines of the blood curse had disappeared.
Not only had his body become stronger, but his facial features had also been greatly enhanced.
He sniffed slightly and could smell all kinds of odors in the air. He tilted his ears slightly and heard the sounds of fighting in the forest from afar.
He checked his clothes a little. Because he was in a hurry, his clothes and the things inside were all intact.
'Was the Life Plexus transplant … a success?' Zuo Zhicheng thought to himself. He then used his left eye to observe his body. When he saw the score of his body's strength under infrared vision, he was slightly surprised.
'My body … has been strengthened to this extent?'
The next moment, he closed his eyes slightly and focused all his attention on his ears. All kinds of sounds were transmitted to his ears and then transmitted to his brain.
The screams of the soldiers before they died, the roars of the ghouls, the roars of the two parties fighting, the clashing of swords and sabers, the sound of cannons from the warships, and … the screams of countless vengeful spirits.
Zuo Zhicheng turned his head and looked towards the west of the island.
"Over there …"
Boom!
Accompanied by a terrifying explosion, as if a thunderbolt had struck out of nowhere, Zuo Zhicheng had completely disappeared. Only a hole about one meter wide remained where he had been standing. Dense cracks spread out from the hole, as if a huge iron rod had smashed into it.
…
In the forest, a soldier was holding a spear and piercing through the stomach of a ghoul. However, the ghoul behind him clawed at the back of his head and bit him on the neck.
As for the ghoul he had pierced through, it had already pulled out the spear and was crawling towards the soldier's corpse greedily.
Another scream rang out in the distance. A soldier who was in the middle of a battle was pinned to the ground by a few Yin Hounds. Although he had stabbed two Yin Hounds to death at the last moment, he still could not prevent his fate of death.
The forest was filled with hair-raising roars and chewing sounds. More and more soldiers were pinned to the ground by the ghouls and torn to shreds. Whether it was the undying bodies or the sight of the ghouls devouring the corpses of their enemies, it was enough to make the soldiers break down mentally.
Even if they had been told that the Ghouls could only be killed by a blow to the head, no one could withstand the pressure and fight the Ghouls with all their might.
With a squelch, Abel cut off the head of a ghoul with his silver sword. Looking at the chaotic army in front of him, he shouted, "Maintain the formation, don't panic!"
Damn it. His forehead was already sweating. After all, they haven't been trained. It's too easy for these soldiers to break down in the face of monsters.
This was the weakness of most people. They might be able to kill humans who looked like them on the battlefield without any burden, but when faced with terrifying monsters that they had never seen before, their ability to withstand the pressure would be greatly reduced.
Turning back to kill another ghoul, he heard the screams of gunfire and human soldiers in the distance.
Abel looked over and saw that the gunmen at the back of the formation had already been attacked. They were originally standing very far back, so they should have been protected by the soldiers at the front.
However, many ghouls jumped over the trees and pounced on the gunmen from the sky.
"Miss Liu!" Abel cursed when he saw the flintlock team being drowned by the ghouls. He turned around and saw that the woman who had been his translator had already left with a group of guards, fleeing in the direction of the man in the gray robe.
She was obviously frightened by the attack of the ghouls. In a panic, she wanted to run to the place she thought was the safest.
"It's okay. Brother Li Xunyi has the flying sword technique. As long as we run to him, we'll be safe!"
With a soft sound, a soldier next to her was caught by a ghoul that came out of the bushes. The ghoul then cut open his intestines, blood, and flesh on the ground.
Ah!
The woman screamed and rushed out like crazy. Even if she fell to the ground, she quickly got up and kept moving in the direction of the man in the gray robe.
"Damn it." Seeing the woman run away with the soldiers, Abel was so angry that he almost vomited blood. The battle was not over, and the commander had taken the lead to escape. What a blow to the other soldiers present.
Soon, the other soldiers also scattered and fled in all directions. However, in this dark forest environment, the soldiers were no match for the ghouls. What awaited them was only to be caught, eaten, and turned into fertilizer for the forest.
But now that the situation had been decided, Abel could not change it. He could only choose a direction to run in.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!"
"Why are the ghouls so strong this time?"
"There are so many ghouls that are comparable to paladins. Those damn things want to come to the East to fight!"
Abel fled in panic. Along the way, he relied on his skillful swordsmanship and the crossbow on his wrist to kill a few ghouls and escape.
Without the light from the torches of the troops, the forest became even darker.
Abel gasped for breath. The despair, nervousness, and fear in his heart spread uncontrollably.
"Damn it, if …"
He had just stopped to rest for a while when a dangerous aura shrouded his heart. In the next second, a thick claw had already scratched his shoulder, leaving a few deep scratches that exposed his bones.
If he hadn't dodged the attack with his years of experience, it would have been his head that had been crushed by the claw.
Even so, he only managed to delay death for a few seconds. With one hand covering the wound, he looked at the ghoul slowly crawling out of the bushes with a pale face.
It was a purple intensity ghoul. Although Abel did not have psionic vision or infrared vision, he could feel the strength of the ghoul based on his years of experience and the previous sneak attack.
Just as his face was filled with despair and he thought that he was going to die, a young man covered in black slowly walked over.
It was as if he didn't see the ghouls and Abel at all. He walked past them with a calm face.
Just when Abel and the ghoul were stunned, he stopped and suddenly asked, "Are you from the army?"
"Uh …" Unfortunately, Abel did not understand at all. He did not speak the language of the Da Qi State. He only shouted in the language of the Westerners, "I am hopeless. Run, I will buy you time!"
On the other side, the ghoul said impatiently, "Human, you are quite brave." He licked his lips. "How about I eat you first?"
The next moment, there was a bang. Abel stared at the scene in front of him in disbelief.
He saw the young man flash and appear ten meters away. He continued to walk in the direction of the battlefield as if nothing had happened. The ghoul's head was casually held in his hand. Then, with a bang, he crushed it, turning it into a cloud of blood mist.
A headless corpse stood in front of Abel. It swayed slightly and finally fell to the ground unwillingly.
