106: Chapter 106 This is truly an ancient version of Resident Evil!

What?

How are we supposed to fight this third round?

The main body of that black-robed young girl disappeared, replaced by a group of monsters that looked like the walking dead.

Seeing these monsters charging towards them, the lords below the Floating Island hurriedly shouted.

"Fire arrows! Fire arrows!!!"

A rain of arrows filled the sky, countless arrows falling and blotting out the sun, covering those 98 Corpse-shifters.

They could be seen covered in arrows from head to toe, their entire fronts looking like hedgehogs.

Moreover, arrows had pierced through their heads—headshots! Yet these Corpse-shifters were still running forward.

It was as if they were under a sorcerous spell!

The sky-filling rain of arrows failed to stop these 98 monsters; Zhou Wu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"This might be contagious; could it be like a zombie virus, turning all our soldiers into monsters?"

His younger sister Zhou Mei was also too nervous to speak: "What should we do... stop them!"

[Nearby Chat Channel]

[Jack: Holy shit, bro, could the third round be a zombie crisis? These symptoms look exactly like zombies.]

[William: Zombies must die if they get a headshot, but these monsters have several arrows through their brains and they're still not dead!]

[Li Shunyao: Knowing there's a cauldron on the mountain, yet heading towards 'Cauldron Mountain'. This really is Train to Busan!]

[Novsky: Where are the ballistae! Where are the catapults? Use them quickly!]

Watching the chaotic scene in the chat channel, Xu Xuan calmly raised his hand: "psionic cannons."

He saw the muzzles of the 11 psionic cannons on the Floating Island light up with blue light, and with a clear roar, all 11 psionic cannons fired a volley simultaneously!

Eleven projectiles lifted by spiritual energy, thud thud thud, landed in the corpse horde and exploded almost at the same time.

Rolling thick smoke rose from the explosions; although it was hard to see what was happening inside, severed limbs could be seen flying everywhere.

Heads, hands, feet, and intestines were scattered all over the sky; once the smoke cleared, the ground was pitted and scarred, comparable to craters on the moon's surface.

The charging corpse horde had been reduced to ashes under the bombardment of the psionic cannons, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It had to be Xu Xuan's thick and large psionic cannons that did the trick; had the crisis been resolved just like that?

Everyone looked at each other, waiting for the system notification.

But...

After a long time, the system still hadn't notified that the war was over.

This caused Xu Xuan, sitting on the high tower, to furrow his brows deeply.

"Even though I knew that girl wasn't simple, how exactly do I crack such a bizarre fighting style?"

The war completion hasn't been notified yet, so what counts as a win?

Just then, the sharp-eyed Yang Jian saw something through his third eye.

"Look, there's a blood qi over there!"

He pointed several kilometers away; if an ordinary person didn't have good eyesight, it would be very hard to see that thin layer of mist.

The blood qi was very spread out; if one didn't look closely, it looked almost like the mist on the battlefield.

Except the mist was white, while the blood qi was a faint pinkish-white.

Seeing this, Xu Xuan ordered without hesitation: "Continue the bombardment!"

Nezha was itching for action: "It's too much trouble. How about I take my fire-tipped spear and go meet him?"

However, Grand Preceptor Wen and Yang Jian spoke at the same time: "No!"

Yang Jian said very cautiously: "Currently, your divine powers are all restricted; no one can guarantee they won't be harmed by this mist."

"Exactly. Being harmed by the mist is one thing, but if we were turned into monsters by it and came back to harm the Great King, that would be even worse."

Grand Preceptor Wen also voiced his opinion; they didn't yet understand the methods of the Outer Realm Evil God, so they couldn't act rashly.

Under Xu Xuan's command, the 11 psionic cannons continued to bombard that mass of mist.

He saw the churning mist boiling with blood aura in the explosions, but no matter how the cannons bombarded it, the blood qi still surged toward the positions.

It seemed this blood qi was invincible, impossible to disperse even with psionic cannon fire.

The blood qi surging into the positions quickly infected large numbers of soldiers, with foreign lords like Miyamoto Takeshi and Jack bearing the brunt of it.

Strange cries came from the soldiers in the trenches as armored soldiers began mutating into zombie-like monsters.

Originally, these monsters wouldn't die from headshots, and now the soldiers were wearing various types of leather, bronze, and iron armor.

An ancient version of Resident Evil began to spread through the army.

The mutated monsters howled and lunged to bite their comrades; the bitten soldiers screamed, and within seconds, they began to twitch all over, quickly turning into new monsters.

The entire situation began to spiral out of control, and Miyamoto Takeshi shouted: "Form up! Form up quickly!!!"

His soldiers immediately formed a spear and shield formation around Miyamoto Takeshi, a dense wall of spears attempting to block the mutated soldiers.

The mutated soldiers howled and charged, slamming into the forest of spears.

And these monsters that had been headshotted! Had their hearts pierced!

They actually continued to advance, their flesh pushing forward bit by bit, letting the spears pierce their bodies until they reached the shields and bit the soldiers' hands.

Some zombie soldiers simply lunged into the spear and shield formation, roaring and reaching out even as their bodies were riddled with holes.

These soldiers had all turned into flesh-craving zombies!

Sweat poured from Miyamoto Takeshi's forehead: "Damn it, it really is Resident Evil!"

"Hold steady! We must maintain the formation!"

No matter how Miyamoto Takeshi shouted, more zombies began to leap up, plunging into the forest of spears.

From the outside, the entire spear formation was covered in zombies, and the wall of zombies began to push the formation apart.

Some zombies bit the soldiers' hands, and mutations began occurring within the spear formation as well.

Within minutes, the spear formation of several thousand people collapsed, with everyone becoming zombie soldiers.

It could be said that starting from the first zombie, it rapidly spread among the soldiers at an unimaginable speed.

When Grand Preceptor Wen looked down, the old preceptor also frowned deeply: "What kind of evil technique is this? I have never seen it before."

"Even with tender slices of qingzi bamboo, I'm afraid these toxins cannot be absorbed," Chi You said with a worried expression.

If this mutation reached the Floating Island, it would become a living hell in minutes.

Faced with this situation, Xu Xuan didn't hesitate and decisively pressed: "Ascend one hundred meters!"

As things stood, he would first let the Floating Island ascend to a height of one hundred meters to prevent the mutation from reaching the island.

At this time, Nvba seemed to have noticed something.

The white-haired woman in green robes cupped her hands and said: "Great King, I suggest placing a ring of torches on the city walls to prevent the plague from invading!"

"Approved!"

An order was immediately issued to place torches all around the island's city walls to prevent the plague.

While Xu Xuan could hide on the Floating Island, the lords below the island were out of luck.

Many Great Xia Lords sent out distress calls one after another.

[Zhou Wu: Brother Xu, save me!]

[Li Fei: Brother Xuan, help!]

Looking at the distress calls from the Great Xia Lords, Xu Xuan pondered whether to save them.
