These zombies' auras indicated that they were on par with upper spiritual emperors, and some of them were as strong as an upper spiritual emperor at peak state. Ricky and everyone present stood no chance against zombies at this level.
'Darn it! I can't even handle one such powerful zombie which is as strong as an upper spiritual emperor, let alone so many of them. I can't believe I have such rotten luck, ' cursed Ricky in his heart.
He tried to compute the gap between his side and the enemy side in his mind and came up with one conclusion. His opponents were way out of his league. Even if he managed to surpass his own limit several times, he still wouldn't be able to take them down.
At the same time, fear gripped the hearts of both Laura and Dave, as they imagined how they would fare against such powerful enemies.
In fact, they had already given up fighting against the creatures and were ready to flee at the first opportunity.
But in the next moment, they found that these zombies weren't paying attention to any of them. It was like the zombies didn't see them.
When the zombies came out of the blood-colored rift, two giant coffins followed closely from behind.
These two coffins were a bright scarlet in color as if they had been recently submerged in blood.
When Ricky and his companions saw this, they momentarily forgot their fears and exchanged confused looks with one another. They had no idea what was going on.
Locking all their senses on the coffins, they began to check the objects over carefully, but they couldn't detect anything from the coffins. They could tell that the coffins' insides stunk of blood, and their internal space was as big as a world.
These zombies walked in two groups as they went deeper into the Corpse Lair, carrying the blood-colored coffins.
Without warning, ear-splitting roars resounded from far away.
Ricky and his companions hastily turned to look and were met by the sight of thousands of Blood Zombies and Devil Zombies coming their way.
Their hearts dropped to their feet, seeing the deluge of zombies. What could they do against such odds?
At this point, Ricky was starting to grow desperate. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to escape even if he hid himself in his zone.
But at this critical moment, the two massive blood-colored coffins suddenly released the massacring power, which engulfed those newly arrived zombies.
The ferocious zombies instantly simmered down and became like harmless walking dead.
Just like those zombies that had the strength of upper spiritual emperors, the newly arrived zombies seemed to have been pacified, and they, too, started to ignore Ricky and his companions. They merely fell into line and followed behind the blood-colored coffins.
"Dragon Intent Grass, do you know what's happening?" Ricky asked quietly. He was still scared, and now, terribly perplexed.
"I'm sorry, but I have no idea either. However, I can sense the most powerful massacring power—the shura power,"
revealed the Dragon Intent Grass.
"The shura power?" Ricky murmured to himself silently.
Ricky and his companions were no longer afraid, seeing as the zombies were no threat to them anymore. It didn't look like they would have to fight them anymore. Instead, they began to consider whether they should follow them to find out what these zombies' were doing.
Although they didn't know what they would find, they were all aware that danger and opportunity coexisted. Besides, it was their curiosity that drove them to tail those zombies.
"I'm going to find out what's going on," Ricky informed the others through telepathy.
"I'm coming with you!" Laura immediately answered.
After that, they stealthily crept after the zombies.
Dave and his people followed suit.
They followed the horde of zombies for about three days, and they pushed forward until they almost reached the Corpse Lair's deepest part.
Along the way, Ricky and his companions witnessed how more and more zombies joined the original zombies who were carrying the coffins. They were comforted by the thought that they weren't in any danger even though they were close to the deepest parts, as long as they avoided the blood-colored wind.
"Laura, do you know if something like this has ever happened before?" Ricky mentally asked.
"I don't know. I've never heard of it before. As far as I know, there is no other treasure here except for the Gory Wind Source in the Corpse Lair. The other Treasures from Heaven and Earth are all located in the Corpse Blood Devil Rivers outside. That's why no one ever tries to venture into the lair. It's too dangerous, and they won't benefit from it at all,"
replied Laura bluntly.
"I see..." Ricky nodded thoughtfully as he narrowed his eyes at the corpses.
