Chapter 702: The Lurkers Surface! (2/2)
“Everyone to me! Deputy Zhang has brought reinforcements to help!” Feng Gao shouted the loudest he could. His energy surged and blasted out in the direction the reinforcements were coming from.
With Feng Gao opening the way, the rest were pumped and also exploded in might. Before long, they smashed open a huge gap.
Both sides then met, and Feng Gao found out who the reinforcements were – The Puppet Master Alliance!
“Brothers of the Martial Artist Alliance, help us take care of the ones that get close. Leave the rest to us!” rang the powerful voice of the Puppet Master Alliance branch master.
Feng Gao immediately cooperated and issued orders to his team. With their cooperation of short and long range, the skeleton army who once again surrounded them could not be as reckless as before.
“Branch Master Meng, now is not the time for talk, so please pardon this old man for not giving you due courtesy!”
The branch master of the Snow Kingdom’s Puppet Master Alliance was an old man with white hair and beard. His original purpose was the same as that of Feng Gao, and now they were in the same troublesome boat.
The casualties of the Puppet Master Alliance so far weren’t few either…
“Brother Wang, where is Zhang Zhang? Didn’t he bring you here?!” Feng Gao looked extremely anxious as a bad feeling hit him.
“I’m sorry, Brother Zhang Zhang was already in an irreversible condition when he reached us…”
Once sentence sent Feng Gao’s heart to the bottom. His eyes became blood-shot and he let out an earth-shaking roar.
“YOU BASTARDS SHALL DIE!!!”
……
“Rotate!”
While everyone was amidst fierce battles, in a corner of the crypt, a group of people in different outfits was making steady progress. The skeletons around them had been beaten into a sea of white bones.
Although dressed in extremely different clothes, their puppets were surprisingly similar, they were all gun puppets.
Upon the order of the leader positioned at the center of the group, the ones at the outermost stopped attacking and the people behind replaced them with their guns fully charged. The next instant, horrifying energy attacks sprayed out and engulfed the skeletons rushing at them.
“Keep moving!” ordered the leader after the wave of skeletons were annihilated.
His people withdrew their heavy-gun puppets and began advancing in the direction of the roar.
“Captain, I can feel Jiao He’s energy fluctuations. He should be around here, but I can’t tell which direction,” a scar-faced man reported. He was holding a round plate on which was a faintly sparkling spot.
“That scum! What does our lord see in him? If he wants to die, he can just die alone. Why risk our squad?!” The captain spat bitterly, his voice full of resentment toward Jiao He.
“Captain, some things are better not said out loud…” the scar-face reminded and swept his eyes at the surrounding team members. The latter were wise to act as if they hadn’t heard anything at all.
“Humph! I, Ferret, don’t believe that any of my people are traitors! So what if I find that Jiao He annoying? If I could, I’d kill him even!“ Ferret said icily.
The scar-faced man fell silent. It would be tactless to say anything at a time like this.
“No need to look for him. We’ll continue to go deeper. If we haven't run into him before seeing that thing, we will immediately go back. Even if the boss questions me, I can tell him that I tried my best!” Ferret decided with a ruthless expression.
…
As all the parties fought a life-and-death battle with the undead, Bai Xiaofei’s group had dealt with three batches of people who came looking for trouble. Fortunately, there weren’t many undead eyeing them as their group wasn’t large.
After the third batch, Bai Xiaofei finally managed to capture an undead, one with a characteristic that its other friends didn’t: a good judgment of his situation!
How good? To put it simply, he would answer whatever Bai Xiaofei asked without hiding anything!
