o be lurking underground.

In fact, the only reason why a third of them could escape was because there weren’t too many zombies who awakened at the start.
However, as the scent of blood began to fill the mountain valley, more and more decrepit zombies climbed out of the land in seek of prey.

“Do you have any medicine to erase our scent? Hurry up and scatter them around us, or else it’ll be too late!” said Zu An anxiously.

It felt like they had just fallen deeper into danger.
It was just Goldenfur Monstrous Rats lurking beneath them earlier, but now it had been replaced by the even stronger zombies.
There was no chance for them to escape at all even if they wanted to.
Their only hope right now was for them not to be discovered.

“I do.” Ji Xiaoxi whipped out a medicine bottle from her pouch and began sprinkling it around them.

Zu An finally heaved a sigh of relief.

“How long will it take for them to return back to the ground?” Looking at the zombies lurking under him, Zu An felt his heart growing heavier and heavier.

According to the movies, zombies usually shied away from light.
It was still daytime at the moment, but natural sunlight was blocked off by the surrounding mountains in this valley, dimming the surroundings.
To make things worse, the sun appeared to be setting at the moment.

Are these corpses going to roam for the entire night?

Zu An found himself wondering how these dungeons came to be.
The concepts of day and night applied in here, and there was a sun during daytime too.
He wondered if the moon would rise when night fell later.

Meanwhile, the zombies were happily feasting heartily on their prey.
Flesh and blood seemed to be utmost delicacies in their eyes, but the same couldn’t be said about the humans present.

As the stench of blood grew thicker and thicker, Zu An felt his stomach churning, but he forced it down.

Ji Xiaoxi, on the other hand, wasn’t that fortunate.
In the first place, she was afraid of such things, and she ate a lot of stuff earlier too.
The heavy stench of blood and the sight of zombies chomping off the Goldenfur Monstrous Rats all around her were challenging the tolerance of her stomach.
She eventually succumbed and started vomiting.

I guess even the most adorable of fairies don’t vomit strawberries and rainbows.

“Shit!” Zu An’s heart skipped a beat, for there was something worse occurring.

The slight ruckus caused by Ji Xiaoxi’s vomiting caused the feasting zombies to turn their gazes over.
Most of them didn’t have eyeballs, but Zu An could be certain that they were staring at them.

Some of those that failed to secure a Goldenfur Monstrous Rat for themselves earlier began making their way toward the tree.

Zu An shuddered in fear.
The tree was already unstable from the nibbling the rats had done to it earlier, and it wouldn’t take much to fell it.
Just thinking about the pitiful plight of those rats that had fallen into the clutches of the rats made a shiver run down his spine.

He quickly turned to Ji Xiaoxi and asked, “You should have no qualms using your poison against zombies, right?”

“My poison only work on living beings.
The undead aren’t afraid of poison,” replied Ji Xiaoxi with a pale face.
“I’m sorry.
It’s all my fault.”

Had it not been for her earlier gluttony, she wouldn’t have drawn these zombies over to their side.

“There’s no point talking about this now,” said Zu An.
“I’ll lure them off.
Make sure that you don’t make a noise at all.”

Ji Xiaoxi was alarmed.
“You can’t! We should go together!”

Zu An shook his head and said, “I have a movement skill that should allow me to maneuver around these slow zombies.
It’s likely that both of us will die if we go together.
Besides, if I lure the zombies away, you’ll be able to bring the others over to save me too.”

“Big brother Ah Zu~” Ji Xiaoxi’s eyes reddened.
She knew that she would only add to his trouble by sticking together with him, but human’s emotions didn’t always obey logic.

She felt that she was the one who landed Zu An in such a dangerous position.

Noticing the dull look on Ji Xiaoxi’s face, Zu An quickly said, “You mustn’t do anything foolish, or else my efforts will be in vain!”

“Alright… but big brother Ah Zu, you must promise me that you’ll stay alive!” Tears were brimming in Ji Xiaoxi’s eyes as she spoke.

“Are you planning to repay me by betrothing yourself to me if I manage to survive this ordeal?” Zu An teased as he assessed the situation below.

Ji Xiaoxi’s face reddened.
“But you already have a wife…”

“Hahaha, my wife doesn’t mind me having other women.
Alright, I ’ll be going off!” With a smile, Zu An leaped toward an opening below that he spotted.

The zombies were alarmed by him.
Most of them turned their sights toward him right away, but there was still a small number of them who were looking toward the crown of the tree Ji Xiaoxi was on.

So, Zu An clapped his hands loudly and shouted to attract their attention.
“Hey, you boney freaks! I dare you to catch me! If you catch me, you can stick your bones into me wherever you want!”

Maybe it was because the zombies understood his words or that he was simply making too much of a commotion, all of the zombies immediately turned in his direction and charged over.

Before such a terrifying threat, Zu An executed Sunflower Phantasm right away to weave in between the gaps of the zombies, trying to lure them further away from Ji Xiaoxi.

Unfortunately, there were simply far too many zombies that dodging was no easy feat, even if he had a powerful movement skill in his arsenal.
There was once where barely after his foot touched the ground, a black shadow smashed right down on his head.
It happened to coincide with his downtime, the split instant where he was gathering momentum once more for the next move.
