The weather at this moment seemed to set the mood perfectly. The sky was overcast, thick clouds gathering, and thunder rumbled from time to time.
The gloomy sky seemed as if it was about to crush down.
With demons and monsters running amok, even the Heavenly Law couldn't tolerate it.
Daoist Qingyun stood at the entrance of the Shen family mansion, holding a long sword in his hand. Beside him was a woman with her long hair fluttering, floating in mid - air. They silently stared at the dark figures not far away, quickly hopping towards them.
The roars of the zombies were getting closer and closer. That spine - chilling growl was like a groan from the depths of hell. They carried a stench of decay, and green zombie fluid dripped onto the ground, giving off a foul odor.
Daoist Qingyun took a deep breath and tightly grasped his peach - wood sword. True qi circulated within his body.
He silently recited incantations in his heart, and an invisible force gathered around him, forming a golden protective shield.
The zombies roared and charged towards Daoist Qingyun. Their movements were stiff and clumsy, but only their blood - red eyes revealed the desire for cruelty and killing.
But when they touched the protective shield, they were like hitting an invisible wall and were violently bounced back.
Daoist Qingyun's eyes were firm. He constantly waved his peach - wood sword, and the tip of the sword sliced through the air, making a buzzing sound. Every swing of the sword was accompanied by the shrill screams of the zombies. Those who tried to get closer fell one by one and turned into puffs of black smoke, disappearing.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment. All that remained were Daoist Qingyun's firm steps and the desperate roars of the zombies. This was a battle between life and death, and also a battle of Daoist magic.
The howls of the zombies came one after another. Even Xiaotuanzi and the others in the distance could hear them clearly.
Just from the sound, they knew that Master must be fighting those zombies.
They had to go faster.
"Some zombies have already gone towards Master. I don't know how long Master can hold on. Third Senior Brother, you go with them to the mountain to help Master first. I'll go down the mountain to intercept those zombies that want to escape."
Just having fought a big battle with the rats, Xiaotuanzi had consumed a lot of energy. Her hand holding the sword was a bit unsteady.
Her arms were slightly sore, but she knew this was not the time to relax.
She was worried about Master, but she was even more worried that if the zombies ran down the mountain and into the city, how many lives would be taken.
Shen Weixun nodded slightly and replied in a deep voice, "Okay."
He took out his three - foot blue - blade sword from Xiaotuanzi's small satchel and quickly rushed towards the mountain.
Meng Chang separated from Luo Song and led two groups of people. One group followed Niannian down the mountain, while the other went up the mountain to provide support.
They had to act quickly now. There was not a moment to spare. Delaying for a second might lead to immeasurable consequences.
Niannian shuttled through the jungle, observing all around and listening intently. She had already seen the figures of several zombies, but what she was most concerned about was the white - haired zombie dug out from the school.
"Among these zombies, there is a white - haired one. That zombie must not be allowed to escape. If you see it, tell me immediately!"
Xiaotuanzi's legs were moving so fast. Beside her was Luo Song. He used the divine - speed talisman drawn by Niannian and could only barely keep up with her speed.
"Don't worry. There's no way we'll let that thing out to harm the common people! The support from the relevant departments will arrive soon. We just need to hold on for a while."
Luo Song's answer was firm, and Xiaotuanzi immediately felt relieved. When they set off, Luo Song and the others specifically gave her a walkie - talkie. It was an internal walkie - talkie of the relevant departments. It would never lose signal and was very convenient to use.
"Then let's split up. The main thing is to find that white - haired zombie first."
Niannian didn't know what was going on on the mountain. But if the white - haired zombie ran up the mountain, Master or Third Senior Brother would surely send her a message.
It was really inefficient for a group of people to chase these zombies together. It was better to split up.
They didn't even know how many zombies were in the cave. They couldn't count them by number. So, they couldn't let go of any figure they saw. They had to chase relentlessly.
"Okay, let's split up. If you encounter the white - haired zombie, you must also tell us. We'll come to support you."
Luo Song hesitated for a moment. He looked a bit reluctant, but finally nodded in agreement.
The few of them began to split up. Niannian ran towards the right. As she gradually distanced herself from the people beside her, she could still hear the jumping sounds of the zombies, but couldn't see their figures.
Xiaotuanzi carefully recalled the shadow she had seen in the jungle just now.
Frowning, she always felt something was not right.
Suddenly, a black figure rushed out beside her. It was the black cat that had emerged from somewhere.
"Meow~"
(Little one, don't run that way for now. Did you arrange for those humans on the mountain to run towards the back mountain in advance? Just now my little brothers told me that the people who sent those rats to bully you before are also running towards the back mountain. They're also bringing a few disgusting zombies. Hurry up and go and have a look. They seem to be ordinary people.)
The black cat's words made Niannian immediately stop in her tracks. She was stunned for a moment and finally remembered what she had forgotten. The direction the black - clothed man had fled just now was down the mountain, and Master had told them in advance that if there was any accident, the Shen family would be arranged to go down the mountain from the back mountain first.
Oh no! How could I forget this!
Xiaotuanzi slapped her forehead hard, then turned around and frantically ran towards the back mountain.
As she ran, she didn't even notice that the walkie - talkie on her body had fallen off.
When she wanted to notify the others later, the walkie - talkie was long gone.
Niannian scratched her head and could only let out a long sigh.
There was no other way. It was too late to call the others now. She had to hurry over.
Not to mention anything else, Grandpa Butler was still there. If anything happened to Grandpa Butler, she would be very sad.
Third Senior Brother would also be very sad.
"Black cat, can you help me?"
Niannian really felt that it was too late. She was extremely anxious.
They had almost run out of the front mountain just now. It was a long way to go back to the back mountain. The Shen family's mountain was not very big, but it wasn't small either. Even at the fastest speed, it would take more than ten minutes to get there.
"Meow~"
(Just tell me what you need. Since you're the one I'm going to protect from now on~)
The black cat looked like an older brother. It seemed more reliable than many people.
"If those people are in danger, could you please ask the other little cats to help me block them? I'm afraid I won't make it in time."
"Meow~"
(No problem.)
The black cat agreed without hesitation. With a roar, the cats in the mountain gathered again.
