C26 Trapped Undead
Along with a loud bang, a huge rock was moved away by Xu Lai with his bare hands under Lee Fei's shocked gaze. The place where Lee Fei exclaimed was a crack that was as wide as a man. However, there were many rocks outside, so Xu Lai had no choice but to start cleaning up.
"I say, my Eldest Miss. You are so focused on opening your mouth. Why don't you take a flashlight and light it up for me?"
Xu Lai looked helplessly at Lee Fei who was standing behind him. Lee Fei's face turned red. She took the opportunity when Xu Lai had just moved away the mountain rock and quickly took out a flashlight to follow behind Xu Lai.
As soon as she entered the cave, a chilly wind started to roll up in the cave. One should know that this cave had been sealed up and there was no ventilation. Xu Lai narrowed his eyes and walked in. He was increasingly sure that there must be some secret hidden in this place.
As he walked, Xu Lai finally arrived at the depths of the cave. There were crisscrossing holes in the cave. Looking at the marks left by the axes, it seemed like someone had excavated something.
Could it be that they were digging some kind of ore?
Xu Lai could not help but wonder. Just as Xu Lai was exploring, Lee Fei suddenly called out from behind him.
"Xu Lai! You, look!"
Lee Fei fell to the ground with a trembling voice. She pointed her finger at a place. Xu Lai quickly turned around and looked around. He saw a dried corpse lying on the ground. He was holding a rusted axe.
Xu Lai mustered up his courage. He was not sure what he would encounter down there. Although he was not afraid of the souls of the dead, he could not withstand the sudden appearance of these things.
As Xu Lai went deeper, numerous dried corpses appeared one after another. These people either had ferocious expressions or extremely twisted faces. It was imaginable that they didn't die peacefully.
Hu!
A gust of chilly wind swept up again. The sound of metal hitting against the stone wall came from the darkness. Lee Fei's flashlight on her back flickered and dimmed. The light reflected was in a trance, as if something was blocking the light that should have been shining on them.
Xu Lai looked around and suddenly noticed something. He suddenly looked up.
In an instant, Xu Lai's eyes widened.
He saw it.
On top of his head, countless undead with dark killing intent were staring at him coldly. They were not one, but countless! Countless undead! They were like numerous bats crawling on the mountain cliffs. Their eyes were empty, and there was nothing else in them.
"Detecting mutated undead. Evil undead formed from extreme pain when they were alive. Extremely offensive and destructive. Weakness: Scared of light. " Host, please be careful. "
Xu Lai twitched his mouth speechlessly. Anyone could tell that these people were not friendly and were in danger. He did not need to remind them.
However, he could not say that the system was useless. At least, he had provided one. This thing was afraid of light.
"Lee Fei."
Xu Lai called out.
Before Lee Fei could react, Xu Lai said quietly, "Don't talk. When I say run, you run to the cave with your flashlight. Do you hear me?"
Lee Fei looked at Xu Lai in confusion. However, at this moment, her eyes swept over Xu Lai's head. In an instant, her face was as white as a sheet of paper.
Xu Lai's heart sank. Ordinary people would not be able to see it. Judging from Lee Fei's reaction, it seemed that the resentment of these undead had surpassed that of ordinary undead. It was not easy to deal with them.
"I know."
Lee Fei's lips trembled for a long time before she said these few words.
The two of them knew each other for a moment. Then, with Xu Lai's sudden run, Lee Fei adjusted the flashlight's brightness to the maximum. Then, she madly ran towards the entrance of the cave.
At the same time, the undead crawling on top of the cave let out low roars and rushed down like a tide.
"Please, God, I've worked for you for a few days. I've worked hard without any contributions. You can't possibly let me die so early, right?"
Xu Lai blocked the narrow entrance of the cave when he saw the zombies rushing down like a tide. He muttered to himself. Suddenly, he spread his arms and yelled at the zombies.
"I can help you take revenge!"
The crazy actions of the undead stopped abruptly because of Xu Lai's words. Xu Lai let out a long sigh of relief. These undead were indeed different from ordinary undead. They could actually understand human language.
"How can I trust you, mortal?"
A deep and hoarse voice came from the group of zombies. A ghost in a black robe floated over. He held an axe in his hand. Xu Lai looked familiar with the axe. It was the axe held by the first dried corpse they met.
"I came here because I heard your voice."
Xu Lai quickly explained.
"You can hear my voice."
The black robed undead was wandering in the air. He stared at Xu Lai and was silent for a moment.
"Okay. In one day, bring the Taoist Priest Shangqing to me."
It was indeed that Taoist Priest Shangqing. Xu Lai's heart trembled.
The ghost continued to say, " Twenty years ago, we were tricked into this remote place, and then we were enslaved here. We dug the gold mines here in a complicated manner. We were so naive that we thought that they would let us go if we dug the mines. But, but! "
The voice of the undead suddenly became abnormally angry, until it roared," After that High Clarity Daoist finished digging the gold, he finally let us go! The whole cave was destroyed by a group of people who claimed to be the Feng family. We were trapped in this cave. We were starved to death. Some people ate the bodies of their comrades and survived for a few days. Some people chose to commit suicide. Our bodies had nowhere to be placed. Our souls are trapped in this dark cave forever! "
The undead's words kept reaching Xu Lai's ears. Xu Lai couldn't help but sigh when he heard these words. These people were trapped to death here. No wonder their resentment was so strong. The resentment of ordinary souls was tortured when they were alive. Just like Chen Mingze and the dead girl, they were more or less persecuted when they were alive.
The stronger the pain, the greater the power of death.
Being starved to death. Xu Lai felt uncomfortable just thinking about it.
The undead's words mentioned the Feng family, which made Xu Lai keenly aware that this Taoist temple must be related to the Feng family.
"Alright, I promise you that I will give Taoist Shangqing to you within one day."
"Mortal, I will not trust you easily."
Xu Lai raised his eyebrows.
"Then, I should do this to make you trust me."
"If you can't bring back that stinky Taoist, then the girl who just left will die instantly."
Xu Lai's face darkened.
"Did you guys attack him?"
"No, she came here and was contaminated by a bit of baleful aura. Although that baleful aura wasn't fatal, it could take half of her life. If we didn't help her, she would have been tortured by sickness and suffering for the next few years. She would be in unbearable pain."
Xu Lai took a deep breath. The current situation did not allow him to bargain. If these undead did not attack him, it meant that no one else had come here. They could only choose to believe in themselves.
"Alright, wait for my news."
Xu Lai agreed immediately.
