One hand formed a seal while the other held up that sinister heart?
Seeing this scene, Zhong Shan decided to retreat. Anything unusual meant grave danger.
Zhong Shan twisted the heads of the two women with both hands, giving them a look that said to retreat at once.
After Zhong Shan turned their heads, the two women snapped back from their wandering thoughts. Seeing his expression, they immediately nodded and began quietly retreating.
As the three of them withdrew, Zhong Shan kept his eyes fixed on the distance, wary of any sudden change.
When they had taken three steps back, the black-robed man suddenly opened his eyes. Zhong Shan saw a dim blue light burst from them the instant they opened, pointing straight toward him.
At the same time, all twenty-five zombies turned as one, their arms pointing toward Zhong Shan.
"Run~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
Zhong Shan roared. He and Ying Lan took off running, while Tian Ling'er swiftly flew up on Red Silk.
The man in the distance narrowed his eyes. One of the zombies suddenly leaped into the air and bounded toward Zhong Shan.
Although Zhong Shan had spotted all the zombies, they had still been quite far away. But the zombies were terrifyingly fast—a single leap carried them more than fifty meters, and it charged after them at a frightening speed.
The man holding the heart saw one zombie give chase and slowly closed his eyes again, as though the ritual was not yet over and had to continue.
"Zhong Shan, the blue one is a Copper Corpse. The one chasing us is a Copper Corpse. My father said it's equivalent to someone who has just entered the Golden Core Stage. Its corpse poison kills at the slightest touch. What do we do?" Tian Ling'er shouted down at Zhong Shan
