Chapter 687: Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio - Fairy 59
Ning Caichen took out a broken gong from somewhere, plucked up the courage to jump out, and started beating it around the giant corpse. As the gong sounded, the giant corpse's reaction was as violent as Ning Caichen had expected. When it heard the sound, it turned its head sharply and quickly pounced towards Ning Caichen.
"Tear--"
With the sound of rags tearing, the clothes on Ning Caichen's chest were torn by the giant corpse's claws. If Ning Caichen had not reacted quickly and realized the danger the moment the giant corpse's claws grabbed him, and had taken a step back suddenly, it is likely that now it would not only be his clothes that were torn.
"Wow, I didn't expect a youkai like you to be so fast!"
Ning Caichen looked at his chest in fear and continued to retreat at a faster speed. He had thought that the giant corpse would not be very flexible due to its huge size, but he did not expect that although the giant corpse seemed to have difficulty in moving, its speed was actually no slower than that of an ordinary person. If Ning Caichen had not deliberately kept a distance from it, he would have been caught by now.
"Huh..." I thought the giant corpse was not fast and it would not be difficult to lure him out. Now it seems that this trick is really dangerous. Ning Caichen was timid and wanted to back down. But as long as he thought of Fu Qingfeng hiding in the house on the right, Ning Caichen forced himself to suppress the idea of retreating. "I was too weak to protect Xiaoqian before. I almost killed her. Now I must protect Xiaoqian's reincarnation, even if it means sacrificing my life."
Ning Caichen had lived in a cowardly way for eighteen years, and now that he had finally gotten out, he didn't want to live such a cowardly life anymore. He mustered up the courage to continue to strike the gong, carefully calculating the distance each time, concentrating his mind, and leading the giant corpse lingering in the hall of the villa out of the villa step by step.
When Ning Caichen was luring the giant corpse, Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi were hiding in a room nearby, staring at everything through the cracks in the dilapidated wall. After seeing that the giant corpse was successfully led away by Ning Caichen, the two quickly came out, lit the oil lamp, and began to look for their screaming companions.
Fortunately, this abandoned villa is not very big. With the light, they quickly found the companions who were caught by the giant zombie. The good news is that although the companions had encountered the giant zombie before and were bitten by the giant zombie when they were caught off guard, they did not lose their lives, but just fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss.
The bad news is that because the companions kept saving each other, almost all of them were bitten by the giant corpse. The wounds have turned black and look like they were poisoned by the corpse.
"Uncle Zhang, Li Er..."
Fu Qingfeng held an oil lamp in his hand, checking the wounds of his companions one by one and trying to wake them up. Under the dim light, the wounds on the unconscious companions had already begun to fester, and black marks were spreading upwards from the wounds. Fu Qingfeng looked at his companions' faces along the marks, and saw that strange black hairs had begun to appear on the faces of these bitten companions, and the fangs that were silently growing longer could be seen without even lifting their lips.
"This is..." Fu Qingfeng was shocked when she saw the fangs. Although she had never seen a zombie with her own eyes, she had heard a lot of such stories.
"Sister, Uncle Zhang and the others seem to have been poisoned by corpse poison." Fu Yuechi also saw it and frowned in worry, "What should we do?"
Logically speaking, people infected with corpse poison are beyond help, and what they should do now is to burn them before they completely turn into corpses. However, these people in front of them are not strangers, but loyal and righteous people who are loyal to the Fu family. Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi simply cannot bring themselves to do them.
On the other side, Ning Caichen led the giant corpse out of the villa. Once they left the cramped environment of the villa with many obstacles, the giant corpse's speed increased a lot. On the contrary, Ning Caichen had fewer objects to block him, and he was almost caught by the giant corpse several times. Seeing the giant corpse's vision begin to change under the moonlight, Ning Caichen's already dangerous situation became even more dangerous.
"We must find a place to get rid of this monster quickly, otherwise..."
Ning Caichen looked around anxiously, but couldn't find a suitable place at all, so he had to turn his head to look at the small woods in the distance, "If nothing else, I can only find a way to enter the woods and use the cover of the trees to get rid of him."
"Hey, ugly bastard, come and ask questions! Boom——"
After making up his mind, Ning Caichen began to act. He threw a stone at the giant corpse that was absorbing moonlight, interrupting its practice. Then he spoke to stimulate the giant corpse. The giant corpse seemed to understand his words and rushed towards him with a roar. Ning Caichen quickly turned around and ran desperately towards the woods.
While running, Ning Caichen suddenly felt a foul odor coming from behind him. The feeling of extreme danger gave Ning Caichen goose bumps all over his body. He bravely looked back and found that the giant corpse that could only jump towards him before was now half floating in the air, flying towards him with its hands upright.
"Ah, you can actually fly!"
Unexpectedly, in such a short time, the giant zombie evolved into a flying zombie. Seeing that the giant zombie's sharp claws were about to pierce his chest, Ning Caichen panicked and accidentally stepped on a stone and rolled to the ground, luckily avoiding the giant zombie's attack.
He ignored the pain and quickly got up from the ground and continued to run away. The giant corpse hung behind him and stabbed him with its claws from time to time.
"Help! Help!" Ning Caichen had a premonition that if he continued like this he would be in great danger, so he shouted for help without caring that this was in the wilderness.
Coincidentally, at this moment there was a cultivator at the foot of the villa who heard Ning Caichen's cry for help.
"Master, it sounds like someone is shouting for help. Should we help?" The young monk Shifang had been unable to sleep in this remote wilderness because of fear, so he had been guarding the fire with his eyes open. Suddenly he heard a cry for help. As a kind-hearted monk, the young monk would not pretend not to hear it.
"Hmm..." The old monk, Master Baiyun, was originally meditating. After hearing Ning Caichen's cry for help, although he suspected that it might be a trap set by a monster, he still couldn't ignore it.
"Amitabha, monks are compassionate. Since we heard someone calling for help, how can we turn a blind eye? Shifang, take the good things and let's go take a look!"
"Yes, Master!" The young monk Shifang obediently carried his bag, held the golden Buddha in his arms, and followed Master Baiyun.
Ning Caichen had been running with his mind tense and he was already out of breath and exhausted. On the other hand, the giant corpse had been flying for such a long time and was not tired at all. On the contrary, it was more alert and clear-headed due to the moonlight. Perhaps it realized that Ning Caichen had deliberately lured it out, so it could have caught Ning Caichen earlier but chose to do so, teasing him like a cat playing with a mouse.
Ning Caichen cursed the giant corpse's teasing behavior in his heart while feeling relieved at the same time. However, judging from the speed of the giant corpse's recent attacks, the giant corpse was no longer patient enough to continue playing.
Ning Caichen had no way to avoid the attacking giant corpse and could only close his eyes in despair and wait for the pain to come.
