Chapter 146 - 112: Exit, Entrance?

Chapter 146: Chapter 112: Exit, Entrance?

All of a sudden, Sui Yi spoke up, "Black Donkey Hoof, Black Dog Blood, Glutinous Rice, Peach Wood Sword, Taoist Charms, it’s said that these are what zombies fear, but it’s only the low-level zombies that fear these things. For high-level ones, like Generals, even calling on Mao Xiaofang would be useless. However, I’ve heard that a woman’s Yin Power can nourish a zombie’s Yin Power, and a man’s Yang Blood can enhance their Cultivation Level."

The atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

Uh, just like that, Miss Sui Yi had the ability to make everyone go silent with just one sentence.

Moreover, she seemed so knowledgeable, often leaving people speechless.

After a while, Brother Ma asked shakily, "Uh, from what you’re saying, does it mean that both men and women are screwed?"

"Not necessarily..." Sui Yi furrowed her brows, thought for a moment, and said, "Demons probably wouldn’t be."

"...."

Sister, is this your idea of dark humor?

Everyone wore a disheartened expression when suddenly, Lin Feng’s steps faltered, and he grabbed the back pocket of Brother Ma’s trousers so tightly that he nearly made him stumble.

Turning around, they saw Lin Feng’s pale face.

"What’s up?"

"Bro... Brother Ma..." Lin Feng’s tongue was tied, and he struggled to say, "Did you feel... is this coffin moving?"

Brother Ma was startled and looked at the coffin next to them. After staring for a while, he let out a soft chuckle, "You’re quite feminine, not manly nor womanly. Zombies won’t like you. If they were to grab someone, it would be a manly man like me..."

He patted his chest, looking pleased with himself.

Then, with a bang, Lin Feng’s scream of terror made Gong Jiu and Sui Yi, along with others, quickly turn around.

Turning around, they saw that Brother Ma was truly caught by something... a zongzi?

An emaciated figure with no head.

But its hands were clutching Brother Ma’s neck.

"Ugh~~~" Brother Ma’s face turned a ghastly shade.

From green to purple...

The expressions of Gong Jiu and the others changed drastically, and they raised their guns in unison.

But then came a series of loud bangs, one after the other, as coffins burst open.

One by one, headless figures.

Jumped out of the coffins!

Bang bang bang!

The gunfire was too rapid, the headless and ragged figures too fast; Brother Ma’s eyes had already rolled back...

Swhoosh! A flash of cold light!

Suddenly, the grip on his neck loosened!

His body went limp, and the headless person’s hand fell to the ground, as Lin Feng hurriedly supported Brother Ma, looking toward Sui Yi who had dashed over at a terrifying speed and severed the arm of the headless figure.

"Miss Sui Yi..."

"Wake him up."

After Sui Yi finished speaking, she attacked the other headless figures while Lin Feng tried his best to stimulate Brother Ma’s philtrum...

Damn it, although he was a doctor, he was a practitioner of Western medicine and, without the specific equipment, really had no use for his skills in such a situation...

Next to him was Gong Jiu, who only glanced at Brother Ma’s pale face before adding a suggestion, "Temporary asphyxiation, make him smell his own socks! That’s the most effective method!"

Um, really?

Who’s the doctor here!

Then, with the formidable martial prowess of Gong Jiu and Sui Yi, every second counted!

Lin Feng quickly removed Brother Ma’s shoes, ay-ya, my goodness!

He also rolled his eyes, almost passing out.

Meanwhile, Sui Yi and Gong Jiu had already burst outward in preparation.

But that smell...

"Damn! That really stinks; last time we took off our shoes and smelled it, this brat claimed it was Feng Sha and Ah Hai with the smelly feet~!"

The previously shot Feng Sha and Ah Hai had a pulled expression.

No wonder back then, everyone was so repulsed...

"It’s like expired gas!"

"Rotten eggs soaked in stinky tofu!"

"It reminds me of the swill bucket in Aunt Wu’s house next door... that smell..."

"You’ve tried it?"

"Beat it!"

The stench wafted through, and the rotting smell from the headless ragged figures was overwhelmed; still...

Fighting poison with poison is ultimately poison.

Amidst everyone’s suffering, Brother Ma quickly came to his senses, and without bothering to put on his shoes, he began fighting barefoot...

Gong Jiu even suggested he could try attacking with his smelly feet...

Brother Ma: "...."

He suddenly felt his reputation had been ruined~~

Clang clang bang bang, boom boom clang!

Together with the human screams and groans...

The passageway was in complete chaos.

During the fight, a group of people, relying on their strong martial power and relatively quick reflexes, fought as they ran, dashing forward...

Occasionally, someone would get dragged down...

If they really couldn’t be saved, they had to make the painful decision to let go!

In this regard, whether it was Gong Jiu or Flower Demon, both did extremely well.

Resolute!

Though they were women, they were very decisive, and this was also related to the family education they had received since childhood.

No matter what they did, they had to consider the most beneficial and optimized choice.

As Sui Yi heard the wails behind her and saw the dimming expressions yet forced composure on the faces of Brother Ma and the others, she could only raise her eyebrows and

stayed silent.

--------

"Huff"

"Huff"

"Huff"

Everyone’s breath grew heavier as they ran, and their footsteps heavier. After sprinting for roughly twenty minutes, the pursuers were still on their heels.

Sui Yi led the way, even choosing the direction of their escape.

"I’m just wondering, Sui Yi, where exactly are we headed?" Flower Demon didn’t doubt Sui Yi, but she trusted herself more, which is why she asked, and it was just her habit and personality.

And this was precisely where Gong Jiu differed from her.

In such a short amount of time, Gong Jiu and Sui Yi had gone through too much life and death together, and trust had become second nature.

"The Canal!"

"The Canal!!!? Didn’t you say that place..." Feng Sha frowned.

"Paths may intersect, but this canal encircles the Underground Palace. As long as we follow the canal, we will find an exit, or..."

Sui Yi’s eyes hardened.

"The true entrance to the Underground Palace!"

What does the true entrance to the Underground Palace mean?!!! The others felt baffled, but Flower Demon’s eyes lit up. "What we’ve been running through just now is the inner loop, which is the outer perimeter of the Underground Palace, on the inside of the canal! And the reason you say this is because the strange beings in the canal resemble these headless people, both symptoms extremely similar. Environment dictates behavior, so they might share a common exit, or their creators use a single exit... Ancient architecture favors two-directional connections for auspiciousness; it’s highly likely that on the opposite side lies the entrance to the Underground Palace."

Either exit to the outside of the canal like Sui Yi planned, escaping this palace with their lives, or find the true entrance to the Underground Palace...

Bingo!

That has to be it!

Flower Demon had good deductive skills. Sui Yi remained silent, waving her hand to the people behind her before disappearing into a side passage...

Had she reached the corner passage already?

At this moment, Sui Yi had passed through a small door into the canal outside!

This was the same canal she had entered from the Yellow Sand Area. It now appeared once again before her...

The water was eerily still.

However, as soon as her foot touched a floor tile here, the surface of the water began to bubble with the emerging heads of dark figures, slowly rising...

Their pale, decaying foreheads appeared, followed by their cold, numb eyes.

The water had bloated their faces grotesquely.

Yet their features were gaunt and bony.

This scene made the hearts of Gong Jiu and Flower Demon, who had caught up, suddenly stop.

Dammit, is this a horror movie or a ghost story!

Too damn scary!

Sui Yi gestured to the two behind her, then turned her head and whispered to Gong Jiu and Flower Demon, "Keep your footsteps light, steady, at a constant rhythm."

Huh?

Gong Jiu and Flower Demon didn’t question her but instead turned to instruct the others...

And Sui Yi had already taken the lead, moving forward.

She stepped lightly and slowly, her steps rhythmic.

From the back, it was undoubtedly a beautiful sight.

After watching Sui Yi for a while from behind, Flower Demon leaned over to whisper in Gong Jiu’s ear, "Don’t you think her legs are pretty? So slim and straight..."

Gong Jiu was startled, then replied in a lowered voice, "...you perv!"

Pausing, she narrowed her eyes. "I think her butt is quite perky too."

Flower Demon: "...."

Miss Gong, could you be any lewder?

Although Sui Yi wasn’t as developed as these two women, wasn’t as curvy or tall, she had youth on her side~~

Flower Demon stroked her chin, pondering a moment before looking at Gong Jiu and thinking... Why did such a prime piece of cabbage have to catch the eye of that pig.

Fuck!

Unbeknownst to Sui Yi, her backside had been thoroughly objectified by two improper women,

She just tiptoed along the path.

After walking halfway, she confirmed that these were orders born of fear.

--Anyone passing here must be killed without mercy, but how can one determine if someone has passed by here?

Sui Yi had been chased many times by these strange beings, be it the headless people or monsters, all seemingly hyper-sensitive to sound. That was something she had just realized while running, and upon entering through the small door and taking her first step, she had an epiphany.

Sound!

Whether they were the headless people or the strange beings, they identified enemies by sound.

Actually, it wasn’t so much the sound as it was the magnetic resonance the soundwaves created in the air that gave these creatures their awareness.

If that was the case...

Sui Yi turned and signaled to the people behind her.

Then those behind carefully followed Sui Yi’s earlier example, stepping quietly and slowly...

To ensure absolute silence, Sui Yi also released some magnetic sensation into the air, testing whether this might negate some of the soundwaves’ magnetic tones...

Cautiously, and then even more cautiously...

Every person’s breathing was suppressed, until they finally neared Sui Yi...

Pfft~~

Suddenly, a sound was emitted.

Well, that’s a sound humans know well, the sort of gas one can’t hold back resulting from eating grains and cereals...

Everyone turned their gaze sharply toward Brother Ma.

Brother Ma looked innocent, shaking his head frantically.

Damn! It really wasn’t me!

But it was no longer a matter of blaming someone; now it was about those "people" in the water...

Plash!

A large group of "people" surfaced, their upper bodies emerging suddenly and with violent intent!

And in that instant...

Sui Yi swiftly used magnetic sensation to engulf the magnetic tones of the sound! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com), or throw a monthly vote. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to continue reading.)
