Everyone was shocked by the black shadow that came out of nowhere. They looked over immediately.
They saw a tall, hunky middle-aged man in armor standing before them.
The man's hair was messy and his face was shriveled. Countless black hair that looked like steel needles pierced through his armor.
Roar!
The man roared into the sky. Two sharp and long fangs were revealed at the corner of his mouth. There was black energy coming out of his mouth as he glared at the people with his sunken eyes.
"Oh, no, he turned into a zombie!"
"Retreat, retreat now!"
Master Yao had goosebumps all over his body upon seeing that. He pulled Tang Ning and retreated immediately.
Never had he thought that Tang Ning's ancestor would not rot after being dead for over 200 years. Instead, he turned into a zombie.
"He turned into a zombie?"
"Zombie?"
The moment the man revealed his fangs, everyone jolted.
Everyone shuddered and pushed each other as they ran towards the exit.
The bodyguard who was the last felt a big, cold hand grabbing him after taking two steps. He turned his head immediately and saw a pair of fangs.
The fangs bit into his neck, and the bodyguard could not help but shriek, "Ms. Tang, h-help me!"
Gulp, gulp!
The sound of blood being swallowed came.
The bodyguard stopped breathing as soon as he was done speaking. His body shriveled at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye. Meanwhile, the man's body that was initially shriveled was much more substantial now.
Tang Ning was almost scared to death when she turned her head to see that. She ran toward the exit with the crowd as if her life depended on it.
Ye Chen was in the crowd too. The people were pushing him away, but he had his eyes on the tiger-shaped pendant on the zombie's chest.
'So, the Sky Stone is here!'
"Damn it, there's really a zombie. Run, run now!" Shen Jing pulled his father, wishing that he had an extra pair of legs.
Only then did the people recall what the uncle said before they went up the mountain. There was really a zombie, but they did not believe it. It was too late for regrets now.
"Oh, no, the exit has collapsed!"
The bodyguard who was running at the front screamed.
The people just realized that the robber's hole was completely gone. Instead, all sorts of mud and gravel blocked the exit.
Clearly, the fight between Master Yao and the black-robed man had triggered an earthquake, causing the robber's hole to collapse.
Someone cried on the spot, "What should we do? What to do? I don't want to die here. "
"Grandmaster Yao, what should we do now?"
Shen Chongshan regretted it so much that his intestines were turning green. If he had known this would happen, he would not have done it even if his own father was here, let alone Ms. Tang.
Shen Jing swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Miss Tang, that guy is your ancestor. Can you talk to him and ask him not to bite us?"
"Boom … Boom … Boom …"
A series of heavy footsteps could be heard. It was obvious that the zombies were rushing over.
"It's coming!" The bodyguard, Xiao Liang, protected Tangning with all his might. His face was filled with fear.
"Don't panic, everyone!"
Master Yao pretended to be calm and said, "Miss Tang, your ancestor has already turned into a zombie. It is now a walking corpse. It won't understand what you're saying. On the contrary, because you are its direct descendant, it can smell your bloodline. It will bite you first."
Tang Ning's body trembled.
"Grandmaster Yao, aren't you a grandmaster? Let's do it now. "Shen Jing was determined to shock them.
Master Yao forced a smile. "I'm only a Feng Shui master, not a ghost catcher. It's fine if you ask me to search for the dragon's acupoints, but this thing …"
He finally understood now.
The black-robed man earlier was not a grave robber. It was clear that he wanted to refine Tangning's ancestor into a zombie and control it.
"So, what do we do now? Wait for death? "Shen Chongshan said in despair.
"Don't panic, everyone. Listen to me."
Master Yao took a deep breath and said, "The exit is blocked. Instead of waiting for death, why don't we work together and fight it? Let's go back now."
"What? Go back? Are you out of your mind? "Shen Chongshan screamed and shook his head. He was extremely unwilling.
Master Yao said, "This space is too small. There'll be nowhere to hide when the zombie comes. We'll really be dead by then."
Although what he said was the truth, the people were still unwilling.
The bodyguard, Xiaoliang, hesitated and said, "Master Yao is right. We must go back to the main tomb that we were in earlier. It's spacious there. We can fight it with the geographical advantage. I'll walk in front."
"Xiaoliang …" Tangning shook her head by instinct.
Xiaoliang forced a smile. "Ms. Tang, I, Liang Ye, was adopted by your Tang family since I was young. Old Master Tang treats me like a nephew. If anything happens to me, I hope that you'll treat my wife and son well."
Xiaoliang stood up and took a step out in determination as he spoke.
Ye Chen frowned and said, "Actually, you guys don't have to be so scared. I can …"
"Shut up!"
Tang Ning immediately reprimanded him and sneered, "What can you do? You can catch zombies? Why didn't I see you doing that earlier? "
"That's right. Master Yao didn't even say anything. Why are you interrupting?" Shen Chongshan scolded with a stern face.
'What kind of classmate is Shen Jing?
He's still causing trouble at a time like this. '
"Old Ye, stop talking." Shen Jing pulled the corner of Ye Chen's shirt immediately, signaling him to stop talking.
Ye Chen smiled and said nothing more.
In reality, he wanted to help because Xiaoliang was loyal to his master. He did not want anything to happen to him, but the people did not believe him.
"Master Yao, let's go. Let's go back. If someone's scared, just wait for your death here." Tangning clenched her teeth and stood up in determination. She looked at Ye Chen and said insinuatingly.
Master Yao nodded and walked behind Xiaoliang. Tangning was the second while the remaining three bodyguards followed closely behind. Ye Chen, Shen Jing, and the rest were the last.
"Oh no, it's blocking the way back too!"
They saw the zombies far away blocking half of the door leading to the main burial chamber after taking a few steps. They were walking toward them.
Yes, they were walking. They were not jumping and jumping like in the movies. They were even wearing Qing dynasty official robes.
"What should we do? Master Yao. "Tangning panicked.
Just when Master Yao was going to speak, Xiaoliang shrieked in rage. He took out a dagger and charged at the zombie. "I'll f * cking kill you!"
"Xiaoliang, come back now!" Tangning was almost scared to death. She could not stop trying to stop him.
However, Xiaoliang pretended that he did not hear her. He charged at the zombie with his agility and stabbed the zombie's body with the dagger. There would be metallic clanging noises coming from time to time.
Then, his movements froze.
A long, sharp claw pierced through his chest.
The fangs pierced his neck again, and Xiaoliang's body shriveled.
The zombie's body was completely filled up after sucking two people consecutively, especially its face. It looked like a normal person again, but it looked rather pale. Coupled with the bloodstain at the corner of its lips, it looked indescribably ferocious.
"Xiaoliang!"
Tangning almost fainted from the pain.
"We can't let it suck more blood. It'll become more powerful every time it sucks a person. Step back. I'll deal with it!"
Master Yao looked solemn. A green gleam shot out of his body again after the people retreated a few meters.
"Seal!"
Master Yao performed a seal with both of his hands. Just like before, green gas flowed out of his fingertips. The green gas turned into a net and charged at the zombie that was coming at him.
The zombie swung its claw and crushed the green gas. Before Master Yao could react, it leaped and arrived before Master Yao. It clawed at Master Yao's arm.
Its long nails pierced deep into Master Yao's right arm.
Master Yao shrieked in devastation. He broke his right arm with a ruthless expression and rolled a few steps back. Blood kept spurting out of his broken arm.
"I'm useless. I've let the zombie do this. Ms. Tang, it's all my fault!"
Master Yao had despair written all over his face. If he did not ask Tangning to bring them to the ancestral grave, this would not have happened.
Now, not only had two people died, but he had also lost an arm. Now, it seemed that they were dead for sure.
"Oh no, oh no. We're all doomed now. We're all going to die here!" Shen Chongshan protected Shen Jing tightly while his lips could not stop trembling.
Tears rolled down the corner of Tangning's eyes as she looked at Xiaoliang's shriveled body. She then closed her beautiful eyes in despair.
At that moment, an extremely young voice was heard.
"Dad, please save them!"
