After the strange corpse flashed a dozen times, it was finally angered by Zhou Fu. It let out an ear-piercing scream and pounced at him.
Zhou Fu's eyes lit up. He was not afraid that it would not attack, but he was afraid that it would continue to hide.
"Good!"
He roared excitedly. The muscles all over his body suddenly swelled, and a faint bronze color appeared on his skin.
He waved his right fist, and his blood boiled. His huge fist smashed toward the corpse's claws.
Crack!
Accompanied by the crisp sound of bones breaking, the corpse was sent flying.
Zhou Fu's mouth twitched. It was just so-so.
"Awoo!"
A shrill scream was heard. It was like metal scraping against metal, and it gave him goosebumps.
The corpse that fell to the ground suddenly bounced up. Its right hand hung on its arm like a broken branch.
"Come, let me see how many punches you can take!"
"Roar!"
With a roar, just when Zhou Fu thought that it was going to pounce on him, it broke the window and ran out.
"Damn it!
Damn it! "
This thing actually had a brain!
"Damn it, you run fast!"
Recalling the scene just now, Zhou Fu's expression became more and more unpleasant.
Powerless!
This was even worse than being kited in the canyon. At least he could flash, but now he did not even have a PP.
When I find a way to move, I will let you have a taste of my clay pot fist!
Bang, bang, bang!
The cold wind outside blew the window, and the broken window frame hit the wall next to it.
"Oh right, how are the people outside?"
Zhou Fu's body trembled, and he hurriedly walked out.
There were two bonfires outside, and there were a few people sleeping next to each bonfire.
He frowned and walked over. He picked a guard and called out softly. When he saw that there was no response, he reached out and touched him.
Yes, the temperature was still there.
His breathing was calm.
It meant that he was still alive.
"Wake up!
Wake up! "
"Hmm?"
After being shaken by Zhou Fu a few times, the guard opened his eyes in confusion. He looked at Zhou Fu for a while before coming back to his senses.
"Young Master?
Is there anything I can help you with? "
"Eh?
Wait, how did I fall asleep? "
Just as the guard asked this question, he instantly felt that something was wrong. He was on night watch today, so he shouldn't have fallen asleep.
The man shuddered and sat up. He turned his head to look in another direction, and his heart turned ice-cold.
Everyone was lying on the ground!
He had fallen into someone else's trap!
"Young master!
We … we … "
Zhou Fu shook his head. "Wake him up first."
"Yes!"
After some effort, the guards woke everyone up.
"Young master, are you alright?"
Zhou Fu shook his head. "I'm fine. Go and fix the window.
Two of you, come with me to see how Huang Jia and the Lu family are doing. "
"Yes!"
The houses in the courtyard were all connected by corridors, so one could reach all the houses without being drenched in the rain.
Zhou Fu led the two guards out of the house and went to the Lu family, which was the closest to him.
Bang bang bang!
"Brother Lu!
Brother Lu! "
There was no response from the room.
Zhou Fu took a deep breath and slowly pushed the door open.
The three of them entered the room and saw that it was the same as their room. Everyone was asleep by the fire.
"Wake up!
Wake up! "
"Eh?"
The guard of the Lu family woke up in a daze. When he saw the people in front of him, he was shocked. "You guys!
How did you guys get in?! "
Especially when he saw that everyone around him had fainted, he collapsed. He thought that the Zhou family was making things difficult for them.
"What are you shouting for? We've been ambushed. Hurry and wake them up."
"Ah?"
The guards, who were slow to realize what was going on, shouted at everyone in a daze.
Lu Tong thanked Zhou Fu with a face full of fear. "Brother Zhou, thank you for saving my life. When we return, the Lu family will definitely repay you generously."
"Brother Lu, you're too kind. Let's go and see Brother Huang."
"Alright, let's go together!"
Zhou Fu and the rest arrived at Huang Haoyun's room. Their hearts sank because one of the guards had died in front of the door.
"Let's go in and take a look!"
The guards of the Zhou and Lu families unsheathed their swords. With a torch in one hand and a long sword in the other, they walked in carefully.
"There's one dead here!"
"There's a maid's corpse here."
Lu Tong said in a deep voice, "Let's find Brother Huang first!"
In a world with a strict hierarchy, the lives of those at the bottom were like weeds on the streets.
Zhou Fu remained silent about Lu Tong's arrangement.
"Young Master Huang is found!
Young Master Huang is found! "
The two of them looked at each other and hurried over.
"Brother Zhou, Brother Lu …"
Under the light of the fire, Huang Haoyun's face was pale. He leaned weakly against the guards of his family.
The clothes on his left arm had already rotted away, and there were still traces of blood seeping out of it. A frightened maidservant used her trembling hands to bandage his wound.
"I'll remember what happened today. When I return to the city, I, Huang Jia, will definitely pay a visit to thank you."
"Brother Huang, you don't have to do this. The situation is no longer safe. Let's gather our three families together to prevent anything from happening."
"Alright!"
"You're right, Brother Zhou."
After a while, the Zhou, Lu, and Huang families moved into the house of the Lu family.
After all, the window in Zhou Fu's house was broken. Even if they repaired it, there would still be air leaks.
The Huang Jia's house was even worse. Three people had died. It was even more uninhabitable.
In the house, the three families sat together in silence. Huang Haoyun's face turned even uglier when he found out that only his family had died.
"I've implicated the two of you in today's matter."
"Brother Huang, you're too serious. Today, our three families were plotted against by thieves. We won't let this matter rest."
"By the way, Brother Zhou said that you saw the thieves. What are their characteristics?"
Everyone's gazes turned to him.
Zhou Fu said in a deep voice, "At that time, I was awakened by a thunderclap. When I opened my eyes, I saw a figure standing beside the fire.
Long hair covered his face and he was wearing a grey coat. "
"After that person saw that I was awake, he broke the window and ran away. You'll know what happened after that."
Huang Haoyun lowered his head. His eyes flashed with an inexplicable light. Since he was young, this was the first time he felt so close to death. He hated it. He was unwilling to accept it. Why was it him?
Why was it that the Zhou and Lu families were fine? Why was it him?!
Crackle ~
The wood made a sound in the fire. A few sparks flashed in the air and disappeared.
At this time, the storm outside was about to stop. The sound of the rain hitting the ground was also gone. The room was even quieter.
In the quiet room, everyone was waiting for the sun to shine on the earth again.
Zhou Fu suddenly frowned. He felt uncomfortable all over. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.
"Brother Zhou, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Lu Tong noticed Zhou Fu's strange behavior and asked worriedly.
"I can't tell. I just feel that something is wrong. It's like … it's like …"
His brain was working quickly. He tried to recall that feeling. He must have felt it before. It should have been not long ago.
Not long ago …
It seemed like …
A corpse!!!
Yes, it was when he was being watched by that corpse!
"Not good!
Everyone be alert!!! "
Boom boom boom!
The surrounding doors and windows were instantly shattered. A large amount of sawdust was sent into the room. The group of people screamed.
