Chapter 549
Zhang Hao and his group finally stepped into the Second Mausoleum of the World. However, before they could even take in their surroundings, a sinister roar came from all directions.
A group of twisted corpses slowly emerged from the darkness, their bodies stiff, their skin bluish-black, and emanating a nauseating stench of decay.
The eyes of these corpses were empty and lifeless, yet they exuded a chilling killing intent, as if controlled by some evil force, as they approached the group step by step.
"Watch out, it's a horde of zombies!"
Zhang Qilin shouted and quickly drew his Black Gold Ancient Blade. The baleful aura on the blade instantly spread out, attempting to block the attack of the horde of corpses.
Xie Xiaohua and Xie Yuchen quickly raised their guns and fired at the horde of corpses. However, the bullets only sparked a few times when they hit the corpses, and could not cause any real damage to them.
"How is this possible? How can these corpses not be killed?"
The fat man stared wide-eyed in terror, his voice filled with despair.
He wielded his entrenching tool, desperately trying to fend off the horde of corpses. Each strike required all his strength, but the corpses continued to pounce, seemingly endless.
Huo Xiuxiu clung tightly to Ding Yudie, her face as pale as paper, her hands trembling slightly.
Yi Sa tried to manipulate the water flow to stop the horde of corpses, but in this eerie tomb, her power seemed to be limited in some way. As soon as the water flow formed, it was dispersed by an invisible force.
Zhang Hao frowned as he carefully observed the corpses. He discovered that although their bodies would be damaged after being attacked, they would quickly recover, as if some mysterious force was maintaining their movements.
He realized that these corpses were no ordinary zombies, and that he had to find their weaknesses to defeat them.
Just as everyone was in trouble, Wu Tianzhen suddenly noticed a tiny bump on the back of the neck of one of the corpses, as if it had been parasitized by something.
A thought struck him, and he shouted:
"Attack their napes; that might be the key!"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attack towards the back of the corpse's neck.
Zhang Qilin flashed like a black lightning bolt, instantly appearing in front of a corpse, and slashed fiercely at its neck with his black gold ancient sword.
This time, the corpse did not recover as easily as before. Instead, it let out a painful roar and slowly collapsed.
"It worked! Continue attacking the back of the neck!"
The fat man shouted excitedly, swinging his entrenching tool even more forcefully.
Encouraged, the group's morale soared, and they began to concentrate their efforts on attacking the back of the corpses' necks.
With everyone working together, the horde of zombies finally began to show signs of collapse, with corpses falling to the ground and no longer moving.
However, just when everyone thought the crisis was about to be over, the fallen corpses suddenly started moving again. They slowly stood up, and their wounds healed rapidly, as if the attack just now was nothing more than a minor injury to them.
The expressions on everyone's faces turned serious again. They hadn't expected that these corpses would have such powerful regenerative abilities, able to revive even if they couldn't be killed. This battle seemed to have no end in sight.
During the fierce battle with the horde of corpses, Wu Tianzhen accidentally caught a glimpse of a strange light flashing on the walls of the tomb.
An idea struck him, and taking advantage of a lull in the fighting, he moved to the side and leaned close to the wall, carefully shining his flashlight around.
The light on the wall gradually became clearer, revealing a series of exquisite murals.
These murals seem to come alive, slowly unfolding under the beam of a flashlight, telling a story of history sealed away by time.
Wu Tianzhen's gaze was deeply drawn to one of the murals. He stared wide-eyed, carefully examining every detail of the mural, his expression growing increasingly solemn with each glance.
Finally, he couldn't help but exclaim:
"Everyone, come and see! These murals record the origins of these corpses!"
Upon hearing this, everyone gathered around, temporarily halting their battle with the horde of corpses and turning their gaze to the mural.
The murals show that the origin of this event can be traced back to the time of the Queen Mother of the West, 3000 years ago.
In that distant era, there was a mysterious primitive snake in the Kunlun Mountains region.
These snakes possess extraordinary abilities; they can control a person's limbs and then manipulate the movements of a corpse, turning it into a bizarre creature called the Venus Umbrella.
Venus umbrellas can not only blend into normal people unnoticed, but they can also induce hallucinations by interfering with people's subconscious, making them completely unaware of their existence.
