384: Weird Slate

Seeing Zhou Xun make a move, Wu Wenlong sighed inwardly, then took out a few medicinal pills and consumed them.

"Swish."

Wu Wenlong's weapon suddenly flashed with a red light, as if it had transformed into a magical artifact.

"Boom."

Wu Wenlong unleashed his unique secret technique, and a powerful sword beam slashed out from the red sword in his hand.

The zombie was forced back countless steps by this sword beam; it seemed to be extremely wary of it.

Zombies are also people, and their souls are part of their physical bodies. If they were slashed into fragments, they would also be injured.

"Hahaha, Brother Zhou, it seems you are quite smart. However, I can tell you that this kind of zombie is just an ordinary zombie. If we use our secret techniques, we can definitely kill it."

Wu Wenlong laughed excitedly.

Zhou Xun said coldly, "Wu Wenlong, stop bragging here. If you aren't afraid of being discovered, can you keep using your secret techniques so many times now?!"

"Hehehe, Brother Zhou, if you don't believe me, then just watch."

Wu Wenlong shook his head dismissively, feeling immense confidence in his heart.

His secret technique could be considered quite powerful, but its side effects were also exceptionally severe, so what he needed to do now was to retaliate!

If he didn't get rid of this zombie, and problems truly arose later, he would find himself in a passive position. He could not place all his hopes on Zhou Xun.

Chen Tianming continued to observe the situation. This zombie was indeed powerful; if he were to go head-to-head with it, he would be the one at a disadvantage.

"How about this: you two take care of this zombie, and leave the rest to me. How about it?" Chen Tianming said with a smile.

Wu Wenlong hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Fine, I agree."

The shadow and the skeleton were fighting each other. Although their strength was about the same, their speed was quite fast, and the shadow's speed was slightly faster, so for a time, the skeleton did not gain any advantage.

Wu Wenlong looked around and found no other trouble, then walked to Chen Tianming's side and said softly, "Brother Chen, we've won!"

"Really?"

Chen Tianming raised an eyebrow, but he didn't think this method would allow them to leave safely.

Wu Wenlong's secret technique merely influenced the enemy's perception of things, making them mistake those things for enemies.

This secret technique had its uses, but it wasn't long-lasting, and it depended on the strength of the one casting it.

Chen Tianming could roughly predict how much strength Wu Wenlong had, so he knew it wouldn't be able to keep these zombies disoriented for too long.

Therefore, only by working together could the three of them possibly escape the zombies and leave this place.

"Brother Chen, why would I lie to you?" Wu Wenlong said with a bitter face.

"If you don't believe me, you can test it."

"Alright!"

Seeing that Wu Wenlong didn't seem to be lying, Chen Tianming nodded.

"Let's retreat further inside. The path outside has that river; if we are caught up to, we won't be able to escape at the speed we cross the river!"

"Okay."

Thinking of that strange river, both Zhou Xun and Wu Wenlong couldn't help but look terrified.

If it were normal times, they would have been confident they could cross it, but now there was no way.

"Whoosh."

Chen Tianming retreated a distance, then a massive suction force was released from his body, and Zhou Xun, Wu Wenlong, and the skeleton all flew backward.

"Phew."

Wu Wenlong breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally, we've crossed. Fortunately, they didn't chase after us; if they had caught up to us, the consequences would be unimaginable."

As Wu Wenlong spoke, he walked inside.

Seeing Wu Wenlong walk inside, Chen Tianming immediately followed him.

"Bang."

Just as Chen Tianming entered, a black shadow suddenly emerged from the side, knocking him flying.

Chen Tianfan seeing there was no movement here, continued walking inside.

When he arrived at a cliff face, he discovered that a small hole had actually appeared in front of him. His eyes lit up, and he hurriedly crawled inside.

This was a stone chamber. There were no furnishings around, only two stone slabs, on which ancient patterns were carved, exuding a mysterious aura.

Chen Tianfan walked up to examine them carefully and discovered that the characters on the stone slabs were not simple; they seemed to have some kind of special connection.

"This thing, Zhou Xun, can you understand it?"

Wu Wenlong asked.

Zhou Xun shook his head. "I can't understand these characters at all. They shouldn't belong to Black City. Brother Chen, do you recognize them?"

"I don't recognize them. I have never seen these characters before. I estimate that only those people from the Black City families might recognize them, but that's not certain." Chen Tianming shook his head and said.

"Hmm, Brother Chen, then how do you think we should break it?" Wu Wenlong asked.

"It's very simple. The middle of these characters is empty; we just need to dig it out."

Chen Tianfan said.

"Dig... dig it out?" Wu Wenlong was inevitably terrified.

Chen Tianming said with a smile, "That's right. If we don't dig it out, we have no way to pass through here. Furthermore, how can you determine that the characters are the main object?"

"This... that is true." Wu Wenlong nodded.

"Alright, then let's get to work now."

Chen Tianming took out some tools and began to dig into the cliff face.

"Click."

Chen Tianfan pressed on the cliff face, and then some dirt slowly fell down.

Wu Wenlong couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

Chen Tianming actually used the method of digging to excavate a hollow in this cliff face.

"Impressive."

Wu Wenlong couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Hehehe, not bad. The next part will depend on Brother Wu's secret technique."

Chen Tianming felt lucky. If he hadn't discovered the hollow in this cliff face just now, they might have already been caught by the zombies.

Seeing Chen Tianming speak so confidently, Wu Wenlong didn't waste any more words and immediately activated his secret technique to prepare for the attack.

Zhou Xun didn't hesitate at all and charged forward first.

After all, they still had zombies chasing them from behind; there was no room for delay.

"Clatter."

Wu Wenlong unleashed his secret technique, and instantly, a beam of black light shot toward the place where Chen Tianming was located.

"Boom."

Zhou Xun's attack was very fierce, but it was still blocked by that beam of black light.

"Hahaha, Brother Chen, your luck is extraordinary. Even my move was blocked; you are truly amazing."

"How does that count as me being amazing? Let's keep moving."

Chen Tianming ignored Wu Wenlong's flattery and walked inside.

Chen Tianfan seeing Chen Tianming go in, also walked inside, then used another attack. This time, the speed of the attack was much faster, immediately forcing Wu Wenlong back.

"Hmph, let's see how long this zombie can hold on." Wu Wenlong cursed inwardly.

Immediately after, Wu Wenlong continued to unleash his secret technique, and then black light blades flew toward those two stone slabs.
