My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

Seeing this scene, the two men were scared to death. One of them, realizing that the situation was not right, immediately withdrew and escaped from the attack range of the corpse king.

But it was not so easy for the other person to escape, because the corpse king's sharp claws attacked him, and he had no choice but to fall to the ground.

Then he kicked the corpse king hard in the chest and used the force to move backwards to distance himself.

Just as the Corpse King was about to chase, a gunshot suddenly rang out in the tomb, and then one of the Corpse King's eyes suddenly exploded.

After being hit, the Corpse King immediately raised his outstretched arms to cover his fragile eyes.

Then it was seen roaring and chasing Partridge Whistle continuously, but Partridge Whistle did not panic. He used his agile body to move around the pillar continuously, but the pistol in his hand never stopped, and he kept shooting bullets at its face to attract fire.

When Chen Yulou saw this, he immediately asked Hua Ma to take the people away. He turned back and, while the Corpse King was restrained, he pulled up two Taoists who were vomiting blood on the ground with one hand each and headed towards the cave entrance.

One of the two uninjured Taoists immediately went to help, while the other continued to cast talismans, hoping to immobilize the zombie from a distance.

However, just as he succeeded in his sneak attack, a corpse-fixing talisman fell steadily behind the Corpse King. The Corpse King was stunned for less than a second before the corpse-fixing talisman ignited without fire and burned up completely in the blink of an eye.

When he saw this, he knew that he could not subdue the corpse king, so he shouted, "Queqiao Shao, hurry up, this evil beast is old and powerful, and I am too incompetent to subdue it!"

Upon hearing this, Partridge Whistle responded immediately, and under the control of another corpse-fixing talisman in that second, the two of them successfully left the cave one after the other.

However, when they came out of the first cave, they were terrified. It turned out that the entrance of the first cave was narrow and only one or two people could pass through at a time.

There were as many as two to three hundred soldiers who had moved the valuables before, and at this time there were still more than a hundred people who had not yet evacuated and were still crowded in this fake tomb of only a few hundred square meters.

If it were before, with the two small holes dug by the Mountain Digging Armor, it would be impossible for the Corpse King to get through with his stiff body.

But because they had enlarged the entrance of the cave a lot in order to facilitate the transportation of valuables, the corpse king could enter with some effort.

Sure enough, just over ten seconds later, the corpse king appeared at the second cave entrance in a strange posture.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Partridge Whistle immediately performed a Kuixing Kick and kicked towards the corpse king in the chest. As the corpse king was still in the passage, he was unable to jump and dodge, and was hit hard by the anxious kick.

However, although Kuixing's kicking technique was exquisite, the Partridge Whistle at this time did not have the blessing of the centipede demon's inner elixir, so although he kicked the corpse king back several meters, he did not cause much damage to it.

But this just happened to delay some time, allowing the people in the stone chamber to leave smoothly. However, Partridge Whistle was originally needed to guard the entrance of the cave to prevent the Corpse King from leaving the cave.

But Kunlun acted stupidly at this moment. He actually forgot his previous guess and tried to use the sarcophagus lid in the fake tomb to block the entrance of the cave.

He took advantage of everyone's inattention, rushed to the coffin, and pushed the coffin lid with all his strength. Thanks to his great strength, he was able to push the coffin open alone.

He pushed the stone coffin lid, which weighed two or three hundred kilograms and had gaps filled with dust.

But before he could be happy, he heard some mechanism in the sarcophagus being triggered, followed by a crisp sound of the mechanism, and then hundreds of arrows shot out from around the sarcophagus.

Those who were completely unprepared at the scene immediately collapsed to the ground, wailing in pain.

As for why they collapsed and wailed instead of dying instantly, it was because the coffins were relatively short, and the arrows shot from the middle of the coffin only hit their legs.

As luck would have it, among those who were hit by arrows, there was Partridge Whistle.

The Corpse King became even crazier after smelling the blood and tried to move out of the cave again. However, he could no longer perform the Kuixing Kick because Partridge Whistle was shot by an arrow.

He could only barely hold on with his pistol, while his fellow foreigner and the two Maoshan Taoists also came forward to help, some shooting arrows and some setting fireballs.

However, since the corpse king had experience of being shot in the face before, he had already stretched out his arms to protect his face, making these attacks have little effect.

Even the fireball talisman could only burn the tattered clothes on its body, but it was unable to break its defense.

At this time, several wounded soldiers saw that they could not escape, so they gritted their teeth, endured the pain, took out their guns and opened fire at the corpse king.

As they opened fire, more soldiers turned around and shot at the zombie king.

There was a burst of gunfire for a while. In this relatively closed stone chamber, the gunshots almost broke people's eardrums, but they couldn't care less at this time.

Because they saw that although the corpse king could not break through the defense under the concentrated fire of dozens of rifles, it was still hit back continuously by the impact of the bullets. It was unable to jump and had no way to move forward under such fierce firepower.

But as the shooting continued, several soldiers whose arteries were hit by arrows soon collapsed due to massive blood loss.

The remaining soldiers became more and more anxious as they continued to run out of bullets.

It’s not that Jiang Li didn’t allocate many bullets to the soldiers, but because this was originally a carrying mission, these people didn’t bring many bullets.

After just a few minutes of shooting, most of the energy was consumed.

Fortunately, because they delayed for a few minutes, the people at the cave entrance had almost all retreated, so the remaining people who were blocking them also began to retreat in an orderly manner.

After the wounded were evacuated, the remaining people also retreated while fighting, quickly retreating out of the cave.

Without the obstruction of these soldiers, the Corpse King got out of the cave smoothly. However, it did not rush to chase them. Instead, it directly grabbed several soldiers on the ground who were unconscious due to excessive blood loss and sucked the remaining blood from them.

Then he continued to chase outside the cave.

But when it jumped to the cave entrance and felt the scorching sun outside, it stopped moving and did not continue chasing.

After a long while, Jiang Li finally got accurate information from the Maoshan Taoist priest who came down in a hanging basket. It was the Xiangxi Corpse King who was alarmed, but at this time, because this guy was afraid of the sun, he did not chase him out of the cave.

Jiang Li looked at the sun in the sky and realized that it would be dark in two or three hours. "If we can't kill it today, it will come out of its cave in the evening. It will take a lot of effort to catch it then!"

As he asked the medical team to treat the wounded, he led his men up the mountain in the hanging basket.

As to why he was willing to go up the mountain again, it was of course because he learned from these people that there were no centipedes in the cave at all.

I think this tomb chamber on the top of the mountain is not connected to the fake tomb chamber and the alchemy room at the foot of the mountain, which can explain why there are no centipedes in the tomb chamber.
