99: Chapter 99 The Corpse Embryo is Targeting Me! How Could It Be So Vicious?

The shengxi rhinoceros horn beneath the mofin amulet was ignited.

The wisps of white smoke drifted in all directions at first.

But soon, it seemed to be guided by something.

It drifted straight toward a spot on the Vault Dome above.

Everyone's gaze followed the direction of the white smoke upwards.

At first, that place was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

But as the smoke scattered around, a dark figure with a huge head was revealed.

It was precisely the Corpse Fetus!

At this moment, it was crawling on top of the Vault Dome, staring at them fiercely with a venomous gaze!

The moment their lines of sight met, surprise and incomprehension clearly appeared in the Corpse Fetus's eyes.

It seemed unable to figure out why Su Chen and the others had suddenly discovered it!

"Damn it, it really was you playing tricks, you scared the hell out of me."

"Letting you run away last time was an accident, this time I'm going to personally deal with you!"

As Cao Hua spoke, he raised the muzzle of his gun and fired continuously at the Corpse Fetus!

"Cao Hua, don't be impulsive!" Su Chen tried to stop him, but it was already too late.

Dense bullets shot toward the Corpse Fetus.

However, they all struck the Vault Dome.

In the blink of an eye, the Corpse Fetus actually vanished without a trace!

Cao Hua was stunned, looking around blankly.

"Wh-Where did that thing go?"

"Can it even play hide-and-seek? How did it disappear in the blink of an eye?"

"I told you not to be impulsive, that thing is not simple, not something your gun can handle, but look at you, your bullets run faster than your brain!" Wang Yi complained.

Cao Hua was extremely pissed off.

"H-How could I know it runs so fast? Wasn't I thinking that since this thing is so bizarre and has finally shown up, we should hurry up and deal with it to eliminate future trouble!"

"Tch, trying to show off?"

"Su Chen is still here, isn't he much better at dealing with these things than you? Now look, you've messed things up again," Wang Yi continued mercilessly.

Cao Hua: "..."

Realizing he had gotten into trouble again, he slumped down, lowering his head without speaking.

Just at that moment, a dark shadow pounced down from above, smashing straight toward the top of Cao Hua's head.

"Watch out!" Su Chen cried out in alarm.

With quick eyes and nimble hands, he grabbed Cao Hua and dodged to the side.

The next second, right where Cao Hua had been standing, the Corpse Fetus landed with a loud "bang".

Kicking up a ground full of dust.

Before everyone could react, the thing moved extremely fast, scampering toward the doorway like a puff of smoke.

In the blink of an eye, it vanished into the cave entrance.

Cao Hua stared fixedly at that exact spot just now, where the shape of the Corpse Fetus still remained on the ground.

His chest rose and fell violently, lingering with fear in his heart.

"Damn it! I was this close to being smashed to death by this thing!"

The Corpse Fetus was not small in size, and combined with being smashed down from such a high place directly onto his head, he would have had no possibility of surviving at all.

If it weren't for... Su Chen's quick reaction in pulling him aside.

Then right now, he would already be lying on the ground, flattened into a specimen by that Corpse Fetus!

"Su Chen, thank you so much, you saved my life again." Cao Hua looked dazedly at Su Chen and said.

Su Chen patted the non-existent dust on his hands and said indifferently.

"It's fine, just a casual effort."

Cao Hua: "..."

"No, why is this thing so vicious?! It seems to be targeting me!"

Wang Yi spread his hands.

"Isn't this normal? That thing holds grudges. You shot it with bullets just now, so it bears a grudge against you and is looking for a chance to attack you and take revenge."

Cao Hua swallowed hard, feeling extremely aggrieved in his heart.

His impulsive actions had gained him zero advantage.

Not a single bullet had hit the Corpse Fetus, and on top of that, it had made the thing hate him.

It had almost cost him his life!

"Next time, don't let me catch it, or it'll definitely suffer!" Cao Hua clenched his fists and said fiercely.

"Oh, give it a break. Next time you run into it, you'd better be careful yourself, it'll be good enough if you don't get ambushed by it again."

Cao Hua subconsciously thought these words were spoken by Wang Yi, feeling already used to his complaints.

But after a pause, he realized that this voice... clearly belonged to Ye Xing.

"Wait, Little Star, how did you also learn to be bad, speaking so harshly?"

Ye Xing spread his hands.

"I'm just telling the truth."

"Alright, everyone, stop dwelling on the Corpse Fetus for now. Since it has already run away, we should hurry and check if the passage outside has changed back," Captain Song Lei said.

"Right, right, that's the priority!"

Recovering their senses, everyone hurriedly walked toward the tomb door.

...

"This Cao Hua is way too mischievous, what a hilarious character!"

"Yeah, feels like all the jokes along the way were caused by Cao Hua! But it's also pretty good, it eases the tense atmosphere."

"It really was the Corpse Fetus making trouble; Su Chen is truly amazing for figuring it out right away."

"Yeah, thanks to him seeing through the maze and also carrying the rhinoceros horn, this crisis was resolved. Otherwise, being trapped in the fog, we might really never have gotten out."

"Thinking about those predecessors back then who were trapped to death by the Corpse Fetus's tricks just makes my heart ache."

"Mainly because their team didn't have a smart person like Su Chen, so they ultimately didn't figure out what was going on and ended up trapped to death. This Corpse Fetus is truly committing countless evils, it deserves to die!"

"We absolutely cannot let it go; Su Chen must catch it and finish it off, otherwise who knows how it will continue to harm people."

"If Cao Hua hadn't impulsively shot just now, Su Chen might have solved it on the spot! Cao Hua has to take the blame for this!"

...

Su Chen and the others stepped out through the tomb door once again.

And this time, the passage in front of them had once again reverted to the tomb corridor with the red murals from before.

Seeing this scene, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Great, seeing this tomb corridor makes me feel so affectionate! Even these paintings look much better than before," Wang Yi sighed with emotion.

"Turns out everything was just a Ghost Wall created by the Corpse Fetus, making us analyze all sorts of things and even bringing up spatial folding."

"In the end, the truth is just this simple." Captain Song Lei smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Look at the bloodstains on the ground, they were left by the Corpse Fetus. Following the bloodstains, we might just be able to find it," Tang Xiao pointed at the ground and said.

"Let's go!" Su Chen waved his hand grandly, leading everyone forward.

Following the bloodstains, they walked back to the previous fork in the road, only to see the bloodstains extending all the way into another tomb corridor ahead.

This worked out perfectly, as Su Chen and the others were heading to this place anyway.

Saving them the trouble of taking a detour to chase it.

Everyone stepped into this other tomb corridor.

The shadow of the previous tomb chamber instantly made them tense up.
