C136 (1/2)

I could almost smell the stench coming from his face, but it was impossible, because the human skeleton in front of me was now a mummy and wouldn't give off any smell.

The other three people looked at me nervously. For a moment, I really wanted to stand up and punch this dried corpse in front of me, but the human skeletons that came out from the other metal pillars one after another made me lose my temper. If I were to make a move now, killing this skeleton wouldn't be a difficult task, and escaping from the encirclement of more than a hundred human skeletons wouldn't be that easy.

This human skeleton had been standing in front of me for dozens of seconds, and I almost thought he was asleep. Suddenly, he jerked his head up, opened his mouth wide, and seemed to be exhaling.

Then I saw that the man next to me was sweating profusely, his eyes were wide open, his mouth was wide open, and I reached out my hand to press it down, but he kept saying, ”I want to die here, I don't want to die here …” His mouth trembled as he said this. After taking a few short breaths, he jumped up and ran out like a madman.

The three of us can only watch on helplessly as he makes this crazy move. No one is going to pull him back, because we all know, it's practically no different from courting death. Any small act by him would destroy this weak formation even more.

Just as I expected, he had only taken a few steps when he was grabbed by a human skeleton beside him. Dozens of skeletons pressed down on him and grabbed him with their own withered, skeletal hands, and among the corpses, I saw that he had stretched out his hand towards us the last time, the fear and despair on his face was indescribable, as if he was blaming us for not helping him. In the next second, he was torn to pieces by dozens of hands.

The three of us watched as our companions died just like that. We didn't know how to vent the fear in our bodies, and we didn't know if it was our turn now, but sitting in the array, we could feel the smell of blood growing stronger and stronger, because the array's power was weakening, so it was hard for us to be separated from the outside world. As for the dried corpses who tore one up, they became even more excited, constantly looking around them.

I know that the thirst for flesh and blood for dried corpses is extremely terrifying, most dried corpses are imprisoned in immobile places and slowly die. After dying, the souls would stay on the corpses for some reason, so these dried corpses would be in this half-dead state, and because of the great resentment they had before dying, they would be very sensitive to the flesh and blood of living people.

Just when I was worrying about the weakening formation, these wandering corpses suddenly became manic and restless, and even started to have physical conflicts with each other. There was hope, I saw this scene, although I don't know what happened, but this is our chance to escape, I whispered to Ba Huai, ”In a while, follow me out, we have to be fast, we can't hesitate, this is our only chance.”

Ba Wei was quite calm. ”The disciples of the Yuan clan still haven't come out. Where did they go? Are we just going to abandon them like that?” I said, ”They're not the same as us. They probably won't encounter such a situation. After we leave, we'll think of a way to block the exit before going to find the Yuan clan's people.” Ba Wei said, ”Alright, it's settled then.”

As I closed my eyes, I called out to the fox blood in my body. As soon as the fox blood was awakened by me, it immediately became aware of the danger around me, and immediately, the blood in my body started to run wild. I could even feel the changes in every blood vessel under my skin, and the blood vessels beneath my skin slowly became thicker as it flowed.

With a slight popping sound, the magic formation completely faded away, and instantly, the earth-shattering roars and fishy smell came out from the surroundings.

”Run.” I took the stick out and charged ahead, with the two of them at my heels. I gripped the stick tightly, killing left and right, knocking down countless mummified bodies, which were flushed red from the power I had poured into them, and brandishing the stick in the air, the mummified corpses all touching death.

With a 'bang', I smashed the head of the corpse in front of me. The head of the corpse was the gathering place of the remaining souls, and after being smashed, he could no longer move, his rotten body fell on the ground and shattered. Suddenly, an indescribable stench entered my nose.

While I was still in a daze, a withered hand grabbed my right arm. Startled, I looked up and saw a mummified corpse. This dried corpse was very short and only reached to my chest, but the strength of this dried hand was extremely great.

'Hiss, 'I gasped, the fox blood in my body was boiling now, I was afraid I wouldn't be hurt much by the collision, but this shriveled body made me faint from the pain, and I instinctively swung my arm to try to shake him off, but his hand seemed to have grown on me, and I couldn't get the wheel off no matter what I did. I switched the baton from my right hand to my left, and smashed it against his head, sending dust flying all over his head.
