“Let's go first, I'll handle this!”
Wen Yu kept his eyes fixed on the giant corpse king and said to Sun Ruixing without turning his head.
Sun Ruixing nodded, didn't say a word, and turned to leave.
Knowing Wen Yu's strength and personality, Sun Ruixing was not worried at all about him; instead, his own safety was a pressing issue.
Because the zombies in the fire pit had already begun to emerge!
As the fire pit gradually filled with zombies, some were engulfed in flames, crawling out of the pit incessantly. Then, they charged towards the camp with claws and teeth bared.
The zombie king roared violently; these zombies paid no attention to Wen Yu, who was nearby, but instead swiftly pursued the direction where the professionals were trying to escape.
The zombie king wanted to personally kill Wen Yu to honor the second-level zombies that he had painstakingly nurtured.
Seeing the zombie king's actions, Wen Yu couldn't help but laugh.
This was the foolish behavior of low-intelligence creatures; what were cannon fodder for?
Of course, they were meant to be cannon fodder!
Even if a single zombie could drain a tiny bit of Wen Yu's stamina, their deaths would hold value!
Without any area attack methods, a multitude of ants could certainly take down an elephant; this was absolutely possible!
Unfortunately, the giant corpse king was quite confident in his own strength, and such a powerful yet mindless opponent was much easier to deal with.
As the horde of zombies passed between the corpse king and Wen Yu, the overwhelming mass of zombies obscured Wen Yu's vision. He silently raised his steel knife, waiting for the unseen movements of the corpse king on the other side.
Then, a loud crash came from the opposite side.
The zombie king leaped directly over the horde of corpses, bringing down his massive right hand towards Wen Yu.
Wen Yu flew backward, dodging the brutal attack of the corpse king.
He knocked several rapidly advancing zombies aside and then pounced forward, his steel knife slicing deeply into the zombie king's thigh.
Dark blood gushed out, and the steel knife left a significant wound on the zombie king's leg. Then, the zombie king reacted, his right hand slamming down again, sending a gust of foul wind sweeping over Wen Yu's head.
This strike was dodged by Wen Yu as he crouched down, and then he swung his knife again.
With the enhancement of his speed ability, Wen Yu's speed was not much inferior to that of the zombie king, and his agility even surpassed it!
Wen Yu and the zombie king became entangled in battle. In just a few moves, Wen Yu was directly sent flying, while the zombie king also staggered, numerous varying depths of wounds appearing on his body.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Wen Yu had just been kicked away by the zombie king, right in the chest, breaking a few ribs and causing his internal organs to shake violently.
The zombie king was infuriated to see that this human had not died.
As the overlord of Chaihe Town, he was actually entangled with such a small bug for so long.
Letting out a roar, the corpse king charged towards the standing Wen Yu.
After some simple probing, Wen Yu had already gauged the general strength of the corpse king.
His physical quality was at 41 points, and his right hand had undergone a certain degree of mutation, resulting in a significant increase in its power. Wen Yu couldn't estimate exactly how much, but in any case, being hit once would definitely not be pleasant!
“Can fight!”
With determination in his heart, Wen Yu raised his knife and charged forward again, battling with the corpse king once more.
As Wen Yu and the corpse king engaged in a fierce battle, the horde of zombies had already passed through the battlefield between the two. At this moment, the one-eyed zombie in the fire pit was slowly undergoing a transformation!
The hair on its body had long since disappeared, and the bare skin was even burned through in some places, revealing yellowed muscle underneath. The one-eyed zombie's tightly closed eyes had eyelids turned to ash, with one claw tightly covering its right eye, while the left eye bore a grotesque wound from burning.
