A second fireball flew at the zombie that had killed two villagers. The explosion even burned the wooden barrier nearby.
The rain had weakened the power of the flames. The fire on the zombie was soon extinguished. The young man called Hong Jun spat on the ground disdainfully...
If it weren't for the rain, his two Fire Bursts would have blasted the zombie to pieces!
The zombie did not die yet. It struggled to his feet and screamed at Hong Jun with its bloody mouth.
Its body was completely out of shape, yet that did not lower its speed. It simply dashed toward Hong Jun, running on all four limbs...
Another Fire Burst appeared on Hong Jun's palm. Unfortunately, the Fire Burst missed the fast-moving zombie, which had already arrived in front of Hong Jun, leaving his face pale!
”Back off!” barked the voice of an old man. It was the village's chief, the man who had come to take the medicine before, Xie Sang!
Xie Sang had rolling waves of energy around him. Following his cry, a surging tide swept toward the zombie.
The zombie was struck down by the raging tides in the air. It was completely immobilized by the rolling water, which swept it all the way outside of the barrier.
The wooden barrier was destroyed by the force. Meanwhile, the zombie was also swept far away, no longer posing a threat to the village.
The villagers let out a relieved sigh after seeing this. Luckily, their chief was an Intermediate Magician! Otherwise, they would be helpless against a mutated undead...
”Your pride almost cost you your life!” harrumphed Xie Sang coldly as he walked past Hong Jun.
Hong Jun quickly collected his thoughts, yet he showed no signs of remorse. He completely ignored the chief's words and walked toward Su Xiaoluo. However, his eyes flickered with anger when he saw the wild man who had appeared out of nowhere helping Su Xiaoluo up from the ground.
He was the one that saved her, yet how did this guy get all the credit?
”It's been years since we last saw a mutated undead… why would they appear out of nowhere?” Su Xiaoluo glanced after the undead that had been swept away by the magic.
”Who knows, but Xiao Luo, don't you worry, with me here, the undead won't hurt you!” declared Hong Jun.
Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaohou had grabbed a black umbrella out of nowhere and was about to raise it above Su Xiaoluo's head. To his surprise, Hong Jun snatched the umbrella away from him after thanking him rudely. The guy then shared the umbrella with Su Xiaoluo, pushing Zhang Xiaohou aside.
Su Xiaoluo was so occupied with the undead that she was unaware of all this. However, Hong Jun grinned and glanced at Zhang Xiaohou mockingly.
”I should go and take a look at the undead's body,” Su Xiaoluo said firmly.
”I'll go with you,” said Zhang Xiaohou.
”You should just stay in the village. You're just a dumbass who can't even remember who you are. Didn't you see how dangerous the undead was? I bet you will be the first to run when another zombie appears,” Hong Jun shoved Zhang Xiaohou aside and summoned a fireball on his palm, as if he were putting up a show.
”Stop with the childish act!” Su Xiaoluo rolled her eyes. She put on the raincoat and headed outside the barrier.
”Xiaoluo, don't go, it's too dangerous!...” warned Madam Xie.
A fairly tanned old man said noddingly, ”Yeah, it's too dangerous to go out of the village now.”
