67 -65: Struggling Against Zombies
At the same moment, Qin Jiagui, Ma Ziye and the others were also encountering the Earthwalking Zombies.
As soon as they clashed, the disparity in their strengths became blatantly clear.
Although Su Yu had not killed a zombie in his first confrontation, he managed to wound an Earthwalking Zombie and threw it back.
Qin Jiagui unleashed “Iron Fist Demolition”, colliding fiercely with the iron hook of another Earthwalking Zombie, resulting in a terrifying blast sound that caused both fighters to stagger.
Despite successfully shaking off the zombie’s dual hook with his “Iron Fist Demolition”, Qin Jiagui also felt the devastating backlash and lost his balance, falling backward.
Ma Ziye stomped on the ground, deploying “Steel Web”, but the oncoming Earthwalking Zombie leaped high, agile as a large monkey, thrusting both its hooks towards her chest and head, forcing her to avoid the attack through a leaping sidestep.
Zhao Shichang swung his bone knife, causing sparks to fly as it clashed with an Earthwalking Zombie’s iron hook.
The countershock numbed his right arm and he stumbled backward.
Another hook zipped past his chest, tearing his clothing and causing blood to spurt out.
He would have been disembowelled if his retreat had been any slower.
Zhang Zhongmou swung his spade, but it was caught between the zombie’s dual hooks.
He grunted in pain as he was pulled sideways and thrown off balance.
Li Dong and Zhou Huakang had rushed in with their spades but upon seeing that even Qin Jiagui and the others were at a disadvantage, felt a rush of fear and began to retreat.
As zero-level Black Iron Warriors, they were far inferior to the likes of Qin Jiagui.
If even they were unable to withstand the zombies, what chance did the duo stand?
At the rear, Zhou Birong held up her pistol, firing two shots into one of the Earthwalking Zombies.
However, the zombie merely staggered slightly.
Two bullet holes now adorned its body, but without a drop of blood spilled, it kept its battle capability completely unaffected.
Zhou Birong stood dumbfounded as the Earthwalking Zombie launched into the air, its dual hooks aimed at her.
The remaining zombies spread out into a semi-circle, charging in again with the intention to encircle everyone.
“Retreat quickly, run!” Su Yu yelled, pushing off with his legs.
Ignoring the Earthwalking Zombie in front of him, he launched himself at the one behind.
This Earthwalking Zombie was just reaching out with its dual hooks to grab Su Yun, who was preparing to flee.
Using all his strength, Su Yu deployed “Rending Claw” at its maximum power.
Billowing white mist sprayed out from underneath the raised black scales, carrying him forward like a cannonball.
With a loud ripping sound, the Earthwalking Zombie, in the fraction of a second left, managed to semi-dodge and block the incoming “Rending Claw” with its hook.
A terrible sound filled the air as the terrifying contact caused sparks to fly.
“Take this——” Su Yu roared, his special power surging.
Gathering all his might, he took a big stride forward and smashed his arm fiercely forward.
His attack knocked the zombie’s hook away, winding up in another mighty blow, this time striking the zombie’s torso with “Rending Claw”.
A ghastly sound of bones crunching and flesh tearing rang out.
The Earthwalking Zombie could not even let out a grunt before its abdomen was ripped open, reduced to a mess of flesh by “Rending Claw”.
Su Yu swung his “Rending Claw”, severing the zombie’s torso.
Even as a zombie, it could not survive and fell instantly.
With a pale face, Su Yun called Su Yu’s name, but Su Yu had already turned and yelled at the women, “Run!” He spun around and launched himself at another Earthwalking Zombie.
Lei Rui, Su Yun, Yuan Niping, and the others realized this group of zombies was much more formidable than the previous goblins.
They were absolutely outmatched, so they turned and fled, putting distance between themselves and the hoard of Earthwalking Zombies.
On the other side, Qin Jiagui unleashed “Iron Fist Demolition” once again, colliding hard with the hook of an oncoming Earthwalking Zombie.
The blast shook off the zombie’s hook, after which he managed to kick the zombie’s chest, but not before the zombie’s other hook had scraped his left arm, shedding skin and drawing blood.
Ma Ziye made a sweeping kick, striking the leg of an Earthwalking Zombie but the blow felt like hitting an iron pole.
Wincing in pain, she noticed that the zombie had swung its iron hook towards its leg, meaning her kick landed directly onto the hook, hence the feeling of kicking an iron pole.
“Damn—— These cunning beasts.” Ma Ziye quickly propped herself up off the ground and backflipped into the air.
Like stomping on the ground, she attempted “Steel Web” once again.
However, the oncoming Earthwalking Zombie jumped into the air again, its dual hooks swishing like two black pythons, striking down and leaving Ma Ziye no chance to execute “Steel Web”.
These zombies were not only stronger than the Goblin Beasts but could even rival the cunning of a Goblin Knight.
They were incredibly hard to handle.
Ma Ziye, Qin Jiagui, Zhao Shichang, and others were soon covered in sweat, all driven to a desperate state within a few rounds of skirmish.
Upon observing this, Su Yu felt desperate.
He had already used the “Earth Spike Assault” of his Earth Spike Ring, and less than twenty-four hours had passed since, meaning he could not use it now.
It would have been hugely convenient if he could deploy that against these Earthwalking Zombies.
Ma Ziye was cornered by an Earthwalking Zombie to the point that she could not even deploy “Steel Web”.
Seeing the leaping zombie coming at her again, she could not help but feel all hope draining from her face.
She was forced to retreat and suddenly, a shadow flashed in front of her.
Su Yu’s voice resounded in front of her, “Continue——” and his arm, covered in black scales swung out, revealing the deadly “Rending Claw”.
With a loud metallic sound, the leaping Earthwalking Zombie’s dual hooks caught Su Yu’s black-scaled arm.
Su Yu took a step forward and pushed.
His attacking force was as quick as lightning.
Chirping sounds filled the air as the Earthwalking Zombie was thrown to the ground, emitting an unearthly groan.
Its legs had been cut off by Su Yu’s “Rending Claw”.
All that was left was the upper half of the body falling to the ground.
Ma Ziye seized the opportunity to step up and crashed her foot down heavily.
A crunching sound echoed throughout as the zombie’s head was instantly crushed, scattering foul-smelling, pale black, and putrid brain matter all around.
In the battle, Su Yun, Lei Rui, Yuan Niping, Ning Yan, and Ding Shan all retreated one after another.
Zhou Birong held her gun high, providing cover for them.
However, she did not fire unless absolutely necessitated, because she was running out of bullets.
Li Dong and Zhou Huakang stood with their spades, uncertain whether to advance or retreat.
They didn’t dare to attack the Earthwalking Zombies yet were unwilling to dodge.
They wanted to snatch a victory from the jaws of defeat.
Undoubtedly, if they can kill an Earthwalking Zombie, they could instantly evolve into a “First-Level Black Iron Warrior”.
As for Qin Jiagui, Zhao Shichang, Ma Ziye, and Zhang Zhongmou, they were in a melee with the Earthwalking Zombies.
They didn’t manage to gain an advantage, instead they kept getting injured, while Su Yu was extraordinarily brave, rushing back and forth, quickly taking down three zombies, and even assisting Ma Ziye in killing one.
