Li Chengfeng rode on his Thunder Flame and observed the surroundings of Taiyang City. He soon saw the zombies swarming in from all directions. The densest area was the east of the city, which was the main gate area. The west, north, and south of the city were relatively sparse. Li Chengfeng furrowed his brows. This was hard for him to judge.
Li Chengfeng flew to the south of the city and used his Thunder Flame to blast the area. He memorized the time when the zombies would attack again, then flew to the north and west of the city and did the same thing. He quickly realized that the time difference between the north and south of the city was almost the same. On the other hand, there was an obvious difference in the time difference between the west and the zombies. The zombies were a beat slower.
Li Chengfeng was very clear now: Jue Wuji must be hiding near the east of the city.
The next question was, which part of the city was he hiding in?
Firstly, he could eliminate the possibility that he was hiding in the city. Li Chengfeng had taught Jue Wuji a lesson. He would not dare to stay in the city where he would be easily discovered and blocked.
Most importantly, Jue Wuji's appearance could not reveal his true body. He could only wear a long robe and a hood, and this appearance was very easy to recognize in the city, so he could be recognized in an instant.
Secondly, Jue Wuji was definitely outside the city walls, but he wouldn't be too far away. This was because he still needed to observe the situation of the siege, as well as control the corpse tide to launch a more detailed attack.
Furthermore, he definitely couldn't be too close to Zhao Feiyue. Otherwise, it would be easy for him to be affected by the counterattack of an expert of Zhao Feiyue's level, and the location of his true body would be discovered.
Li Chengfeng flew back to the east of the city and realised that the zombies had already invaded the city. Zhao Feiyue and the rest had been forced to the center of the city and were struggling to hold on. However, under the attacks of the zombies from all directions, the defensive line would collapse. It was only a matter of time before the entire army was wiped out.
Li Chengfeng was extremely anxious but he kept telling himself to calm down. He had to stay calm!
He took a deep breath and looked down with rapt attention. His sharp eyes searched every corner of the east side of the city.
However, at this moment, the entire area outside Taiyang City was filled with an endless tide of corpses. Countless living corpses were running around and roaring. It was impossible to see what was happening on the ground.
Just as Li Chengfeng was about to lose all hope, he suddenly noticed a living corpse looking up at him. When Li Chengfeng looked at it, the corpse turned its head and tried to dive back into the crowd!
Li Chengfeng's spirits lifted as he roared, "Jue Wuji!
Where do you think you're going?! "
Li Chengfeng immediately controlled his Thunder Flame to charge forward, opening his mouth to spit out a bolt of Thunder Flame. In an instant, the spot where the undead was standing was burned into a pit of bare, scorched earth.
However, after Li Chengfeng burned the living corpse to death, he noticed that the tide of corpses did not slow down. Instead, more living corpses rushed over and filled up the empty pit.
Wait a minute … a tunnel!
Li Chengfeng suddenly realised that the empty spot he had burnt was the moat of Taiyang City. However, the moat … had dried up!
What did this mean?
Li Chengfeng's eyes widened in excitement. Jue Wuji, oh Jue Wuji, you were hiding here!
After the flood, it was reasonable to say that the water in the moat should be full. Even if it was trampled by countless corpses, the moat should not be empty.
There could only be one reason why there was no water in the moat … the water in the moat had been diverted away. Or rather, it was leaking out!
Based on this, the biggest possibility was that … Jue Wuji had dug a hole near or below the moat and hid himself inside. That was why the water in the moat had seeped into the hole and flowed to other places!
Li Chengfeng immediately controlled the remaining birds in the forest to fly above the moat with countless seeds in their beaks. Li Chengfeng then controlled his Thunder Flame to spit out a stream of fire. At the same time, the birds in the sky scattered the seeds.
When the countless corpses rushed over, the seeds had already been trampled into the mud.
Li Chengfeng immediately controlled the plants to sprout wildly. Countless roots began to burrow deep into the ground. Then, the beetles outside the city began to climb along the roots of the plants.
As there was no light under the ground, Li Chengfeng did not transfer his consciousness to the puppets. Instead, he used the simplest and clumsiest method: carpet search!
He used every single plant to fill up the hole that Jue Wuji had dug!
As Jue Wuji did not dare to use the power of the plants and puppets, it was only a matter of time before Li Chengfeng found his location.
Once Li Chengfeng found Jue Wuji, he would only have two choices: run, or be pinned to the ground by Li Chengfeng.
But now … Li Chengfeng found himself in a very dangerous situation. Either Zhao Hanqing and the rest would die first, or Li Chengfeng would find Jue Wuji first.
Or Zhao Feiyue would escape with Zhao Hanqing at the last moment, and all the officials and citizens would die!
This was a race against time and the Grim Reaper!
Faster, faster!
He had to be faster!
Li Chengfeng gritted his teeth, madly summoning the power of the flowers and trees. Under the soil, the roots of countless flowers and trees grew wildly, brutally pushing into every hole. The ground kept rolling up, causing countless living corpses to fall, only to be trampled into meat paste by the living corpses behind.
…
Just as Li Chengfeng was frantically searching for Jue Wuji outside the city, the city was in complete chaos. The citizens who had nowhere to run began to hide in their houses, then used whatever they could to block their doors and windows.
The Undead Corpses didn't care about the civilians hiding in their houses and chased after Zhao Hanqing's figure frantically.
The citizens who managed to hide in their houses immediately set an example for the rest. In an instant, a terrifying and bloody scene unfolded in the city.
Countless people fought crazily for an empty house or to squeeze into a room, and some even perished together in the end!
Massacre after massacre took place in Taiyang City, one after another. Little Bamboo was pushed by the shopkeeper and the lady boss, who were being pushed by the crowd. They were being carried by the crowd as they fled to the back.
"This won't do!"
The lady boss pulled the shopkeeper and screamed. She pointed at a dilapidated house not far away and yelled, "Go there!"
The shopkeeper had completely forgotten the pain in his arm. He nodded furiously and rushed towards the dilapidated house with Little Bamboo in his arms.
Little Bamboo turned to look at the Crown Prince who was being protected by the guards. She could not help but reach out and yelled, "Protect the Crown Prince!"
The lady boss was furious. She grabbed Little Bamboo and rushed towards the dilapidated house.
She had to thank Zhao Feiyue. It was because of her Shang Fang Sword that the zombies could not reach them, giving the citizens space and time to escape.
However, when the Lady Boss and the shopkeeper brought Xiao Zhu to the run-down house, they suddenly realized that the door was blocked. When they tried to force their way in, they realized that there was a pair of fierce eyes peeking out from the gap of the window, staring at them viciously.
"Get out of here! I'll kill you even if you come in!" This was a vicious man. He should have been an honest man.
The lady boss almost knelt down. She cried and said, "Please, save us, we …"
The man shouted, "Get out of here!"
The shopkeeper choked, "Save my child!"
The man gritted his teeth, "Come in and kill them all!"
Little Bamboo glared at the man and yelled, "You're not a good person. I'll ask the Crown Prince to chop your head off!"
The man laughed, "His Highness can't even protect himself now. Do you think he can save you?"
Xiao Zhu was so angry that she wanted to say something, but the man suddenly blocked the window in fear. The innkeeper and the Lady Boss turned their heads to look, and it was the corpse tide that was sweeping towards them once again. The horrifying roar of the corpse tide surged towards them like the tide.
Little Bamboo immediately screamed. She was pulled by the lady boss and the shopkeeper as they ran.
The group of people ran frantically but the zombies were getting closer and closer. The horrifying faces were just inches away from them!
