Chapter 416: The Forest of Hanging Corpses
Fu Jian didn't hesitate for too long.
Because things quickly got much worse.
The ghost girl behind him suddenly disappeared. Without the strange faint fluorescence, the surroundings became pitch black and he could not see anything.
What is more terrifying than seeing a monster is that the monster suddenly disappears.
Bang!
The fallen zombie in front of Fu Jianan kicked him in the face, causing his nose to bleed. There was also a hand grabbing him from below. Fu Jianan's heart beat faster and he turned around and ran away from the fallen zombie.
Although they were also fleeing in the dark, he fled much more miserably than Wu Xian. He fell several times and his eyes were almost blinded. Finally, he fell to the ground and could only crawl forward.
He could feel the zombie's palm pressing on his legs as it crawled forward little by little.
When the zombies crawl onto his head, perhaps everything will be over.
at this time.
Fu Jian saw the fire.
Before he could even start to feel hope, he saw a ferocious tiger pouncing towards him.
"what!"
Fu Jian rolled his eyes and fainted.
The fallen zombie, with his hands on his back, lowered his head in confusion, and his eyes met Wu Xian's.
what!
The wound on the zombie's throat opened up and turned into a big mouth, making a sharp "ha" sound, and then the whole person flew up, and the big mouth on its neck bit Wu Xian's waist and abdomen.
Fat Tiger stood up and pounced on the zombie. He tried to struggle, but Wu Xian pierced his head with a sawblade knife. The amazing heat from the sawblade melted everything in his head.
"The old man, his throat was cut, and he ran away backwards. This should be the man who summoned Xia Caoqing and his wife by telling the story."
But even though his brain was half-burned, the zombie kept scratching and trying to get up and attack. His hands had been worn away by large pieces of flesh due to walking upside down, revealing his white bones.
"The form that best suits humans is walking upright. He walks upside down. Although it looks scary, his actual combat ability is much weaker than that of ordinary evil spirits. It's just... he's too tenacious!"
Wu Xian threw a ball of kerosene on him, and set his body on fire with a torch. The movement of the thing did not stop until most of the body was burnt.
Then Wu Xian looked at Fu Jian.
This guy was forced into such a humiliating state by the zombies, he must not be an evil spirit. Since he is not dead yet, we should take him back.
In an underground cave.
Living people are a precious resource.
Because every living person means eight hours of safety and a possible evil ally.
Snap, snap.
Wu Xian slapped Fu Jian'an's face hard and poured cold water on him before he woke up from his coma.
Just woke up.
Fu Jianan howled like a pig being slaughtered.
But when he saw Wu Xian, the burning corpse, and Fat Tiger lying beside the corpse and trying to play with fire with his claws, he knew that he was rescued.
Fu Jian patted his face, quickly calmed down and asked Wu Xian: "Where is this place? Who are you? Why am I here? What was that thing that was chasing me just now?"
After answering his question, Wu Xian said in surprise: "Just now I saw you fainted from fright, and I thought you were a coward, but your mentality is much better than other survivors I have seen."
Fu Jian sighed.
After all, he was a man who had experienced despair and walked out of despair. Even though he was just an ordinary person, he knew what to do and when.
Afterwards, Wu Xian asked him some more questions. When he heard that he had never met Xiong Gang, he shook his head in disappointment.
The main reason why Wu Xian came here was to find Xiong Gang. It seems that Fu Jianan was not the person Xiong Gang met, and he and Xiong Gang missed each other.
But when he heard that there were many standing coffins in the place where Fu Jian had just encountered, Wu Xian's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Lead the way, let's go and take a look!"
For Fu Jian, the coffin maze was a horrible place of death, but for Wu Xian, it was an ideal place for arson.
The two didn't go far.
They arrived at the coffin maze where Fu Jianan was before.
There were sparsely scattered coffins on the road at first, and then the two came to an open space that was even larger than the big cave. The area here was very large, but the height was generally only two or three meters high. The coffins standing upright formed an intricate wall.
It is worth mentioning that, except for a few broken coffins, all the coffins are nailed with coffin nails, and the coffins are connected to the top of the cave, with some gaps below and on the ground.
Although the coffin maze was weird, the coffin nails gave Wu Xian a great sense of security.
There is a high probability that there are corpses hidden in these coffins.
But even if these corpses could move, they could not open the coffin nails from the inside. And even if they could be opened, it would make a huge noise, which would be enough for Wu Xian to escape in advance.
And although this place looks weird, since Fu Jian can escape from here, the danger here should not be too great.
Wu Xian held the torch and hit a coffin in front of him.
Wow!
The flames ignited as expected, engulfing the entire coffin, and the coffin maze suddenly became much brighter.
Wu Xian frowned.
Although the burning speed was very fast, because all the coffins were independent, he could only light one coffin at a time, so it would take some effort to light the entire maze.
Go deep into the maze, start fire from the inside, and then slowly back out?
No.
This is dangerous and inefficient.
It seems that only by getting a suitable large-scale fire talisman can all the resources here be seized.
Click, click, click…
While thinking, Wu Xian suddenly heard a clicking sound behind him.
Wu Xian turned his head suddenly and saw something suddenly fall out of a coffin behind him. It was a highly decomposed corpse with white hair on its body.
The coffin lid was not opened and the coffin nails were still firmly nailed on it, but the body fell out.
Wu Xian took a closer look and found that the bottom of the coffin was empty. It must have been damaged over the years.
The corpse waved its arms, bent its body, and crawled out from the gap between the coffin and the ground. Then it rushed towards Wu Xian upside down. This was another upside-down zombie.
Because he had been dead for too long, the movements of this zombie were not as agile as those of the old man.
But when Wu Xian looked at him, he felt creepy.
If the body in this coffin can be taken out in this way, what about the other coffins?
Wu Xian turned his head woodenly.
I saw a dense crowd of figures appearing silently behind me without me noticing!
These figures were all corpses with miserable deaths. They were standing upside down with their hands on the ground. Countless cold and twisted eyes were looking at Wu Xian from below, and their legs were shaking slightly along with their bodies.
Just like the trees swaying slightly in the wind...
