Chapter Thirty-Three: Escape

  "Run!" I shouted, and was the first to rush towards the gap in the long array formed by those eight wooden men.

  I'm already running as fast as I can, and this is a matter of life and death. Human potential is always unleashed at critical moments, but I never thought someone would be running ahead of me.

  Just as I was about to reach the gap, a figure suddenly ran in front of me and blocked my line of sight. Because it happened so fast, I didn't have time to see clearly who it was. By the time I did, my heart had sunk to the bottom of the valley.

  That figure was actually **！！ Mingming's left leg was hit by the wooden man's reflection, but at this time **'s running speed was so fast. Looking at **'s figure, I was a bit stunned. Seeing **'s speed at this time, I didn't think too much about it. Running fast is a good thing, at least I don't have to worry about it anymore. Originally, I thought so, but what ** did next was completely not what I had imagined.

  Only to see the right hand quickly pulled out from the waist, and immediately only heard a 'bang' sound of gunfire. The figure slightly slanted through the gap formed by the wooden people's long array. I only felt a strong wind rushing towards me. My conditioned reflex raised the ancient sword in front of my chest. Suddenly, I felt something hit the ancient sword, shaking my hands numb.

  Suddenly there was another crisp 'ding' sound. I lowered my head to take a look at the ground, and what had fallen on the ground was indeed a bullet.

  Is it trying to kill me? This thought suddenly arose in my mind, and immediately I looked forward. The entire stone chamber had disappeared, and not far in front of me was the wooden man with a black mark. The black mark kept flashing, and the eight wooden men in line with me were constantly approaching me.

  I no longer have time to linger here, the longer I stay, the more dangerous it is. The wooden mallet closest to me swung towards me at a very fast speed. I hurriedly endured the numbness in my hand and raised the ancient sword to block it. With a loud "clang", the mallet heavily struck the ancient sword in my hand, pushing me back one meter away. A stronger shockwave spread through the ancient sword to my entire body.

  Damn it, this wooden man is too dangerous, I cursed silently, stabilizing my body shape. Since the wooden man was attacking me with his ancient sword in the direction of the wooden man with black marks, I took advantage of the wooden man's attack and got closer to the wooden man with black marks again.

  I tightly grasped the ancient sword in my hand and with a burst of strength from my right foot, I sprinted towards the direction of those three stone gates.

  Just as I brushed past the wooden man with a black mark, the black mark was still flashing constantly. At this time, eight wooden men several meters away from me were slowly moving towards me from behind. However, how could their speed be compared to mine? Their speed was extremely slow, but when they got close, their strength and attack speed were astonishingly fast. After the previous encounter, I had some understanding of these wooden men.

  The wooden man with a black mark is clearly the leader of these eight wooden men, able to control their movements. However, when controlling them, he himself cannot move. Grandfather once said that in ancient times, every mechanism was very powerful, but each had a fatal weakness. The weakness of this wooden man mechanism is probably this.

  But what I don't understand is why this wooden man with a black mark can make bullets bounce back. In ancient times, it was impossible to have such technology, but the wooden man in front of me is vividly demonstrating this technology. This ability to make bullets bounce back is something that even our modern era cannot possess, which shows that the wisdom of ancient people is very high.

  It was very easy for me to arrive at the stone gate, but in front of me were three stone gates. After experiencing the complete corpse and the wooden crowd behind me, I didn't dare to randomly choose one. If I entered the wrong one, I'm afraid I wouldn't have my previous good luck again.

  Following the path I took earlier, I should have gone around in a circle, and the stone gate on the far left should be the way back. But where Dazhuang and Ali are now, I have no idea. As for betraying and abandoning brothers, I, Han Xiaolong, cannot do such things and will not do them. Moreover, with the corpse poison in my body, I don't know when it will attack my heart. With such intense activity, the corpse poison will definitely attack my heart within two hours. At that time, I will be a complete zombie. It's likely that my body had some zombie-like factors before, which is why I could run so fast earlier. If I become a real zombie, Dazhuang and Ali, who don't know what happened, will definitely be attacked by me and infected with the corpse poison, turning into zombies as well.

  Thinking of this, I walked straight to the stone gate in the center. I slowly pressed my hand on the stone gate, just as I expected, the stone gate here is the same as the previous one, allowing people to pass through from it, and not like the stone gate that was seen when it was previously discovered.

  At that moment, a haze appeared before my eyes, as if I had just emerged from the water. I slightly closed my eyes, and after about ten seconds, the feeling disappeared. I slightly opened my eyes again.
