By the Corpse Pit, I spotted Qu Liang in the crowd. I only saw Jin Yuan standing beside her, but Yu Yuanhang was nowhere to be found.
"Jiang Ling, come here!" Jin Yuan noticed me and waved. I squeezed my way to Qu Liang's side, relieved to see her safe. I tightly held Qu Liang's hand and smiled at Jin Yuan, saying, "Thank you so much this time, Jin Yuan!"
"Hehe, just remember this favor; you never know when I might need your help!" Jin Yuan patted my shoulder and said with a grin, "Jiang Ling, you take your girlfriend and head out first. The manager is still back there; I'll go look for him!"
After finishing her sentence, Jin Yuan turned and pushed her way deeper into the crowd. Watching her leave, I had intended to follow her, but after glancing at Qu Liang beside me, I abandoned that thought.
"Qu Liang, let's get out of here!" I pulled Qu Liang's hand, and we ran in the direction the crowd was fleeing from, heading towards the exit of the ancient tomb. Although I wasn't sure what had happened deep inside the tomb, seeing Qu Liang's distracted expression made me uneasy.
We quickly reached the Passage of the ancient tomb when suddenly we heard sounds of fighting coming from behind the crowd; the Zombies inside the tomb were already on our trail.
"Run! The Zombies are coming!" The crowd erupted into chaos as everyone desperately rushed towards the exit. I held onto Qu Liang's hand and felt her body stiffen; she was too frightened to move. The previous Low-level Zombie had nearly killed her, and even though Jin Yuan had saved her, she still bore the psychological scars.
"Qu Liang, don't be afraid! I'm here! Nothing will happen!" I smiled at Qu Liang and secretly summoned a bit of Buddhist Power. Drawing a Buddhist Seal in my palm, I pressed it against her back. The Buddhist Spell has the effect of calming one's Divine Soul. As soon as I touched her discreetly, Qu Liang's mind settled down, and her fear dissipated.
"Jiang Ling, thank you! Let's go!" Seeing the Buddhist Seal in my palm made Qu Liang smile as she took my hand and ran towards the exit of the tomb.
After we escaped from the ancient tomb and looked back, we noticed a group of Low-level Zombies following us through the Passage. Those who were running at the back were directly caught and slaughtered by the pursuing Zombies.
In ancient times, warriors would cut off their enemies' braids on the battlefield to mark their victories. The Zombies in this tomb were once warriors from that era; they remembered this practice well.
"Roar~ It's strange how modern people don't even have braids!" One of the Zombies pierced a Grave Robber's chest with its spear but realized that there was no braid to cut off when it attempted to claim its trophy.
"Roar! Die!" The Zombie let out an angry roar as it drew its sword and struck down on the Grave Robber's forehead, slicing off his entire scalp.
"Ah!" Fear filled the Grave Robber's eyes as he kicked his legs and fell lifelessly to the ground.
"Roar! Kill!"
Such bloody scenes occurred frequently among the crowd, causing my stomach to churn. I finally understood what Qu Liang had encountered deep within the tomb.
"Qu Liang, let's go! We need to wait for Yu Yuanhang at the place where we parked!" I grabbed Qu Liang's hand and quickly ran toward the Foot of the Tomb Mountain. It was completely dark outside now, and without any lighting equipment, we had to use our phones to light the way. After determining a direction, we kept moving forward.
Only half of the people managed to escape, while the other half had perished inside the tomb. A group of Low-level Zombies followed closely behind, and no one knew how many would ultimately make it out alive.
Yang Xiaochao burst out from the tomb, glancing back to see that only over forty of his subordinates had survived. More than half of the Grave Robbers had died inside. This was Yang Xiaochao's most disastrous tomb raiding operation, but he had no time for reflection as seventy to eighty Low-level Zombies were hot on their heels, just twenty steps away.
A glint flashed in Yang Xiaochao's eyes as he quickly said, "We need to scatter and escape. Whoever can survive will rely on their own skills!"
As soon as Yang Xiaochao finished speaking, he chose a direction and hurried toward the Foot of the Tomb Mountain—the same direction where Qu Liang and I were fleeing.
"Let's go!" Yang Xiaochao's subordinates showed no hesitation; they all picked a direction and quickly left. The group of Low-level Zombies also split up, with each person followed by two or three Zombies. Only Yang Xiaochao had five Low-level Zombies trailing him, though he remained unaware of this fact.
"Gold-Eating Mouse, I've finally found you!" Liu Yunchong stood not far away, his gaze filled with resentment as he watched Yang Xiaochao leave. During the chaos earlier, Liu Yunchong and his subordinates had gotten separated. As soon as he exited the tomb, he saw Yang Xiaochao and his men splitting off to run deeper into the Foot of the Tomb Mountain.
"I didn't have a chance before, but now that you're alone, this is my perfect opportunity for revenge!" Liu Yunchong tightened his grip on the dagger in his hand and followed after Yang Xiaochao's departing figure, accompanied by two Low-level Zombies.
I ran ahead with Qu Liang, unaware of what was happening behind us. The light from my phone didn’t reach far, and with the presence of many bushes and loose stones, we didn’t dare to run too fast.
“Roar~ Finally encountered someone with braids!” A roar from a Zombie echoed behind us. Qu Liang and I stopped and turned back to see a Low-level Zombie following us. The Zombie held a spear in its hand and had two Leather Skins hanging at its waist, its eyes filled with greed as it looked at Qu Liang and me, as if we were two lambs ready for slaughter.
I shone my phone light behind it and confirmed that only this one Zombie was following us, which put my mind at ease. I handed my phone to Qu Liang, stretched my limbs, and arrogantly said, “Heh heh, just you alone dare to chase after us? I happen to be brimming with power right now; let’s see how you fare against me!”
