The two of them actually stuck two steel knives into the stone wall as a support and tied a rope to it as a foothold. They stood on the stone wall above us as if they were performing acrobatics!

”Hurry up!”

After calling out to us in a low voice, Qin Lingxiao turned his head towards the dark tunnel at the end of the clearing nervously. It was as though those damned things weren't far away from us!

Seeing this, how could we dare to delay? We immediately climbed up the ropes!

Just as we were halfway up, seven or eight eyeless ghouls were sniffing the air with their heads, and were walking towards the cave we were in!

Fortunately, these eight ghouls have no eyes, otherwise, when they looked up, they would be able to see us falling in the air!

We didn't even dare to breathe as the ghouls passed us! It wasn't until those ghastly things disappeared from the vicinity of the lake that we climbed onto the temporary dock that they set up in midair with Qin Lingxiao's help.

”Why are you still here? What's with that strange fishy smell? ”

When I asked this question, I looked at Liu Jie doubtfully. As for him, he seemed to know that I still had some sort of grudge against him, so he simply chose to not speak.

”That fire and that aroma, they were there when I came down. However, when I came down, the fragrance wasn't as strong as before, and there weren't any ghouls attracted here. ”

After saying that, Qin Lingxiao added two more steel knives under our feet as a fulcrum before continuing, ”We were waiting for you here because we were afraid that you would rush into the tunnel. By now, all of the ghouls in the whole area have been attracted by the aroma. If we were to rush into the tunnel and encounter any situation, I think it will be a fierce battle! ”

If Liu Jie said this, I don't think I would believe him. But if Qin Lingxiao said it, it would be different.

Although there are some things I don't understand about him, but at least, he never harmed me, and when we were surrounded by the white flames, he even came back to save us!

However, according to what he said, didn't that mean that Dong Hai and the others set up this trap? But why had they set up this trap? Did he want to lure all the ghouls in the underground tunnel here and then use the mechanism that I don't understand to clear the surface so that they can move? Or was it that the gunshots last night had made us visible and had been set up for us?

Just as I thought of this, I suddenly realised that the wooden cow in my hand started to heat up again! At the same time, Hua Zi also seemed to have heard something, ”It seems like there is something coming, only one! And from the sound of the footsteps, it doesn't seem to be very big! ”

As soon as he said that, Big Board frowned, ”What a stinky smell! It was like a dead rat that had been dead for many days! It must be a ghoul that was severely injured! ”

Hearing their words, I couldn't help but become even more doubtful!

Only one? And not too big? You even suffered a very serious injury?

The wooden bull that we were hanging in midair earlier did not react, but now it does! Could it be that this ghoul was some kind of amazing leader? Otherwise, why is it that even though the situation was clearly more dangerous than it is now, the wooden bull in my hand only reacted now?

Thinking of this, I immediately looked towards the dark tunnel at the end of the empty space nervously.

Just when I looked towards the pitch-black tunnel, I was surprised to see four dark green eyes forming a square shape. They glimmered with a dark green light as they walked out of the dark tunnel!
