Crossing the wilderness to survive, starting with a broken kitchen knife

The three of them returned along the original path. When passing by the altar, Zhang Shi left a mark with Lao Duan at the place where Zhao Feng disappeared. If Zhao Feng could escape, he would know that they had left safely.

As we walked up the long stone steps, the sarcophagus we came from had been re-covered. There was no daylight in the passage, only an oil lamp emitting light.

Zhang Shi tried to move the stone cover, but found that the stone cover seemed to be sealed. Although he tried his best, the stone cover remained motionless.

"Go to hell!"

The trip to the dungeon encountered many ups and downs. Zhang Shi had long been holding back his anger. In anger, he took out his old piece and slashed at Shi Gai three times.

Lao Duan was extremely sharp, like cutting tofu, breaking the stone cover into several pieces, and a few rays of light came in, making the cave much brighter.

Zhang Shi kicked the stone cover away and removed the rubble. The sky outside was still gloomy and nothing unusual.

After taking a look at Lao Duan, Zhang Shi's mind suddenly became clear, and he discovered that sometimes, violent methods are simpler and more effective.

Zhang Shi climbed out of the coffin first, then reached out to take the oil lamp, pulled Wu Qing up and pulled her up.

The two of them looked towards the cave, but there was no sign of Ge Dalong.

Another person disappeared out of thin air!

Zhang Shi could no longer tell whether he was angry or afraid.

Wu Qing turned pale and shouted towards the crypt.

"Lao Ge, Lao Ge, are you there?"

"Kekeke~"

She was answered by a high-pitched laughter, the echo echoed in the crypt, and it sounded very scary.

Wu Qing was startled and took two steps back. The pit was uneven and she almost fell down.

Zhang Shi supported Wu Qing and glanced at the team panel.

Ge Dalong and Zhao Feng were both in normal condition, but no matter what he said, the other party did not respond.

Zhang Shi tried to shake the bell, but still nothing happened.

"Go back to the ancestral hall first, remember not to be separated from me."

Zhang Shi's words were somewhat ambiguous, Wu Qing's face turned red, but she also knew that now was not the time to stick to small details.

Zhao Feng and Ge Dalong were probably trapped in the cave by inexplicable forces. Zhang Shi did not dare to joke with their lives, so he took out a large number of stones and blocked the entrance to the cave, and then took Wu Qing back to the village along the path.

Zhang Shi cautiously opened the way with determination, but he did not see any evil spirits or strange monsters along the way.

When he returned to the ancestral hall, Zhang Shi looked at the time and saw that it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. It's sunset time in the wild world.

But the sky in this village is still so gloomy and unchanged.

There was still deathly silence in the village. The door of the ancestral hall was wide open, and the black tiger was lying on the spot, seemingly resting.

Zhang Shi held Lao Duan in his hand and stepped into the ancestral hall. Thinking of the reorganization of Black Tiger's body, Zhang Shi had some suspicions in his mind. After hesitating for a moment, he threw the soul-binding bell to Hei Hu from a distance.

"This is what you asked for. Here it is."

"Now, tell me, where are my friends?"

Black Tiger swallowed the bell in one gulp, straightened up, shook his hair, and revealed the holy silver crossbow arrow beneath him.

"I didn't expect you to retrieve the bell so quickly."

Black Tiger circled around Zhang Shi and Wu Qing, staring at Zhang Shi with a pair of yellow eyes.

"There should be two more coffins in the cemetery. If they are opened in time, they may still be able to wake up."

"It's just that I'm hungry now."

After saying that, the black tiger jumped up high and rushed towards Zhang Shi.

Originally at a distance of ten meters, Black Tiger jumped to Zhang Shi's side with just one leap.

Wu Qing's Ancestral Staff was activated again, and this time it summoned a taunting totem.

A blue protective shield enveloped the entire ancestral hall. Black Tiger's attack had no effect on Zhang Shi, and all the damage was transferred to the totem.

Black Tiger failed to hit a single blow and wanted to retreat. Zhang Shi had already been gathering momentum for a long time. The kitchen knife in his hand glowed with cold light, and he chopped off the black tiger's head to the ground.

"Giggles, I underestimated you."

The black tiger's head is separated from its body, but it is still talking. What spewed out of its body was not blood, but a pool of filthy liquid as black as ink.

In the filthy liquid, those familiar granulations appeared again, quickly reorganizing the body. As soon as Zhang Shi landed his second blow, the black tiger appeared on the spot again, full of vigor and vitality. He jumped nimbly and dodged Lao Duan's blade.

"You have a good weapon."

Black Tiger, who had suffered a small loss, did not panic at all, and did not forget to praise Lao Duan, who seemed to be confident about this battle.

I glanced at the mission panel and found that the mission had entered stage four.

Hidden mission four, obtain [Soul-Relieving Bell]

The two companions were facing a life-or-death disaster, and Zhang Shi did not dare to delay. Seeing that it was difficult to defeat this black tiger in a short time, Zhang Shi threw Dingzhen to Wu Qing and said to her.

"I'll hold this beast here while you go take a look at the cemetery. Be careful on the road."

Wu Qing nodded. Although she knew that this trip was dangerous, time was tight and she could not think too much. He left some medicine behind, cast a protective barrier on Zhang Shi, then turned around and rushed out of the ancestral hall.

Black Tiger watched Wu Qing leave and did not stop him.

"With just that totem, she won't be able to hold on for long before she'll be swallowed to the point where no bones are left."

Zhang Shi slashed at him again.

Black Tiger knew how powerful Lao Duan was and did not dare to confront him head-on. He relied on his flexible body skills to move back and forth in the ancestral hall.

Zhang Shi struggled for a long time, but couldn't touch a hair of it. Seeing that the black tiger seemed to be deliberately consuming his physical energy, Zhang Shi also stopped attacking temporarily, put Lao Duan in front of him, and asked.

"You ate all the corpses in the cemetery."

"Aren't you the black tiger of the village? How come in the end, you stretched your claws to the people you want to protect? Do you deserve your title?"

When mentioning the past, the black tiger seemed quite melancholy, and was not in a hurry to fight to the death with Zhang Shi. He squatted on the ground and recalled the past.

"You are an outsider and don't know what happened in this village."

"Since the fog sealed the village, no one can leave the village, and few people can come to the village. There is no sun in the sky. Over time, the villagers have gone crazy and turned into crazy monsters."

"I have my own mission. I have no choice. I want to survive and protect this village, no matter what the cost."

After that, the black tiger pounced on Zhang Shi again. Zhang Shi retreated while waving his knife to resist. The black tiger's claws were cut off by Lao Duan, and turned into a pool of spiritual liquid, flowing towards the black tiger.

Zhang Shi tried to use fire attack, took out a torch, lit it, and threw it on the pool of liquid. But the liquid only emitted a wisp of black smoke, and extinguished the torch in the blink of an eye.

"It's useless. How can mortal things hurt me?"

"I won't play with you anymore. Die honestly and turn into my nutrients."

The black tiger spit out a black light from its mouth, and Zhang Shi was hit by the black light before he could react.

After the black light touched Zhang Shi's body, it turned into a black gas and gathered towards Zhang Shi's head.

Zhang Shi's consciousness began to become blurred, his eyelids became extremely heavy, and he fell asleep before he could react.

The black tiger in front of him showed a humane sneer and slowly approached Zhang Shi.
