Unexpectedly, Bald Qiang turned out to be quite reliable. In an instant, he drew his weapon with an impressive display of confidence.
As soon as Bald Qiang's voice fell, we were all prepared.
At that moment, I had no intention of paying attention to Zhengyang and Ghost Granny anymore. My focus was entirely on the entrance of the Grand Corridor. I gripped the Azure Dark Sword tightly, taking deep breaths to calm my nerves. I could feel a chilling wind howling behind me, and the commotion was growing louder. The tomb was shaking more violently now, with cracks spreading beneath my feet, clearly indicating that Old Madman and the others were engaged in a fierce battle.
"Here it comes!"
Suddenly, Bald Qiang shouted, swiftly positioning himself at an angle facing the Grand Corridor. Without hesitation, he opened fire. The Charge rifle in his hands roared angrily, unleashing a foot-long tongue of flame. Hot shell casings flew out, some even hitting my face, causing sharp pain and blisters to form instantly!
As for that American Ginseng, it was also struggling under the intense firepower. Bullets from Crawling All Over forced it to retreat repeatedly, and the bandages wrapped around it shattered into pieces, ultimately getting pinned against the corner of the corridor. It pressed against the wall, roaring in rage but unable to do anything about it.
This scene relieved us; this American Ginseng was not as ferocious as the Mysterious Corpse. Given the situation, if we all charged together, we could definitely reduce it to ashes!
The overwhelming firepower was indeed uplifting!
Big Mouth Lee was both excited and rummaging through his backpack for his various bottles and jars.
Child's urine, Black Dog Blood, incense ash, Chicken Bones...
He certainly hadn't skimped on preparations from Maoshan Dao this time. To my surprise, he began mixing them together and even bit his middle finger to let some blood drip into the concoction. Once he had everything ready, he shouted, "Let me handle this!"
"Alright!"
Bald Qiang readily agreed without hesitation. He quickly stepped aside to reload his weapon since his earlier barrage had depleted his ammunition.
In that brief moment of respite, Big Mouth Lee dashed out before any of us could stop him. Perhaps he was always the one getting hurt and felt frustrated inside; he wanted to show off his skills. Unfortunately for him, he chose the wrong moment. Just as Bald Qiang ceased fire, Big Mouth Lee rushed forward right when the furious American Ginseng broke free. As he reached the entrance of the Grand Corridor, he almost collided directly with it. Startled, Big Mouth Lee exclaimed "Oh no!" and before he could think twice, he kicked straight at the American Ginseng's chest!
The American Ginseng, unlike the Mysterious Corpse, did not possess any magical abilities, but it had been around for a staggering ten thousand years. Its Daoist cultivation was incredibly high. The fact that it could walk like a human indicated that its body had reached a state of death without decay; it was on the verge of becoming a spirit. Its reaction speed was naturally impressive. When Big Mouth Lee kicked out, the ginseng was even faster, swiftly grabbing hold of Big Mouth Lee's foot. The grip was so strong that Big Mouth Lee's ankle cracked audibly, and his face contorted in pain, his eyes nearly popping out from the agony.
This fellow was furious. It was the first time I had seen him truly enraged since I met him. I realized he was indeed a tough guy; even with his foot nearly crushed, he didn't back down. He executed a perfect "Golden Rooster Stands on One Leg," and his eyes were almost bulging like a fighting cock's, looking every bit like an aggressive rooster. In one swift motion, he hurled everything he was holding at the American Ginseng's face.
Surprisingly, it worked!
As soon as the items splashed onto it, the cloth wrapping around the ginseng's face fell away, revealing skin that was burned and raw, exposing bone beneath. It emitted sizzling sounds and released a foul odor of burnt flesh mixed with decay, creating an unbearable stench. The American Ginseng screamed louder in response to the pain; it was clearly injured!
Enraged, the American Ginseng seized one of Big Mouth Lee's legs and swung him around like a hammer, slamming him against the walls of the Grand Corridor. Within moments, Big Mouth Lee was bleeding!
Seeing this situation unfold, I knew I couldn't follow Bald Qiang's plan any longer. If this continued, Big Mouth Lee would be finished; his brains might even splatter out. At that moment, I drew my Azure Dark Sword and charged forward. "Let's go together!"
With my call to action, Xiao Xiao, the bowl, and Bald Qiang all followed suit; even Furball spun in place!
We were united as one—sharing both glory and misfortune—like family. When I moved, they had no reason to stand by and watch. This was the essence of brotherhood in battle; we loved each other enough to fight together!
I rushed ahead into the Grand Corridor and quickly closed the distance to the Big Zongzi. With a powerful stomp on the ground, I leaped up and swung my sword down toward the American Ginseng's shoulder with all my might!
The strike was fierce and deadly; I put everything into it. The blade struck true against its shoulder, slicing through flesh and embedding itself into its scapula with a resounding clang that sent shockwaves through my wrist and nearly made me lose my grip!
It truly could be harmed! As soon as my sword hit home, the American Ginseng let out a roar that shook me to my core; I nearly stumbled backward. The only silver lining was that my strike forced it to release Big Mouth Lee, who at that moment had lost consciousness and was covered in blood. Fortunately, he had enough experience to protect his vital areas during the assault; he wasn't dead yet—just dazed from being thrown around.
But now I was in danger!
My sword had lodged itself deep within the American Ginseng's shoulder blade and wouldn't come out. Its iron-like bones held my blade fast as if it were wedged into the ground. Pulling it free proved difficult despite several attempts. Meanwhile, it had turned its attention back to me and raised its hand to claw at my chest!
With no other choice for survival, I abandoned my sword and quickly retreated. I managed to dodge somewhat but still felt its claw graze my chest, leaving several shallow but painful cuts that burned fiercely. Luckily for me, when this mummy died, its internal organs had been removed; otherwise, I would have been poisoned by Corpse Poison—one drop could be fatal! Without Snow Glutinous Rice to save me, I'd have been left waiting for death!
As soon as I dodged, the American Ginseng rushed back at me with incredible speed. Fortunately, at that moment, Bowl, Xiao Xiao, and Bald Qiang arrived. Xiao Xiao was straightforward; she charged in and landed a solid punch right on the American Ginseng's chest, forcing it to stagger back a bit.
Then, Bowl lunged forward with remarkable speed, getting up close to the American Ginseng and precisely stabbing it in the eye!
Kara!
A faint blue arc of electricity erupted, and the American Ginseng collapsed to the ground, stunned.
Bald Qiang seized the opportunity and rushed in, grappling with the American Ginseng. Surprisingly bold, he managed to wrestle it down, and we actually subdued the American Ginseng!
Big Mouth Lee even got up!
In that moment, while we had the American Ginseng pinned down, Big Mouth Lee somehow grabbed a metal rod from somewhere and began to rain blows down on the American Ginseng like it was pouring rain!
It was pitiful for the creature; I looked at Big Mouth Lee's bloodshot eyes—he looked terrifying. His strength seemed limitless, and eventually, he beat the American Ginseng into submission until it lay there motionless!
“Damn your ancestors!”
“Bowl! Hurry up and finish it off; you can recover most of your power!” I suddenly realized!
