Entertainment Secrets: Playing the role of Qilin, Mimi loves it so much

But now, there were no bodies here, only a pile of bones. These bones should have all been moved away, which meant that their plan had failed.

"What should we do?" Meng Ziyi asked worriedly.

"There's no other way. We can only find another way out." Ye Bai said bitterly, "We must escape from this place as soon as possible, otherwise we will die here sooner or later!"

The three of them walked down the stairs and passed through a narrow, dimly lit passage. They hadn't noticed when they climbed the stairs earlier, but this passage was quite narrow, only wide enough for two people to pass through. This kind of narrow place is perfect for zombies to move around in, as they can easily rush in.

"Listen!" Yang Mi suddenly exclaimed.

Ye Bai looked up and saw a ball of blue flame dancing in the depths of the dark passage. It was like a flame, swaying and flickering, as if it would go out at any moment.

"What is that?" Meng Ziyi asked doubtfully, "Why do I feel that flame is so familiar?"

"Something's wrong!" Ye Bai immediately stopped Meng Ziyi from getting any closer and said in a deep voice, "Let's go back the way we came."

Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi looked at each other, then followed Ye Bai back the way they came.

Just as they were about to return, they suddenly felt a violent tremor coming from deep in the tunnel, as if some huge monster was rampaging underground.

"Oh no! It's catching up." Meng Ziyi shouted in panic, "Let's leave quickly."

"No!" Yang Mi stopped them: "If we go on like this, we're bound to encounter zombies. Since we've chosen to take this risk, we absolutely can't give up halfway!"

Ye Bai also firmly objected: "We must find out what happened in the lower level and why it has become a paradise for zombies. If we miss tonight, it will be difficult for us to leave the ancient tomb tomorrow!"

Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi were arguing endlessly, but Ye Bai remained calm, his tone filled with an unquestionable dominance.

In the end, Yang Mi compromised because under Ye Bai's cold gaze, she couldn't do anything to disobey him.

The three of them returned to the depths of the cave. The huge cave had been closed and the entrance was blocked by a wooden board.

Ye Bai used his sword to break the wooden board and entered the cave.

It was a room resembling a warehouse, empty and cold. Night-shining pearls inlaid on the walls illuminated the small space. Directly in front stood a coffin. Its shape suggested it was made of bronze, intricately carved with patterns, and smeared with red oil, suggesting its owner was either wealthy or noble.

Ye Bai carefully looked at the pattern carved on the coffin lid, and suddenly a picture flashed through his mind.

The painting depicts a towering palace, with a woman sitting on a throne overlooking her courtiers. She is dressed in a gorgeous and intricate robe, a golden crown, and holds a scepter, with a faint smile on her lips.

The woman gave off an aura of arrogance and a strong presence that looked down upon everyone.

"Is this an emperor who rules the world?" Ye Bai said to himself.

Just then, a strange sound was heard.

The sound was very strange, like the cry of some creature.

"Why are there bugs here?" Meng Ziyi asked in surprise, covering his ears.

At this moment, a black insect suddenly flew to her side and circled around her. It had a ferocious and ugly appearance.

Meng Ziyi was frightened. She screamed and hid in Ye Bai's arms.

This insect is called "ghost insect" and is an evil creature.

After absorbing the power of the evil spirits in the corpses, they became extremely ferocious and bloodthirsty. Once they encountered a living person, they would bite them madly.

Ghost insects are incredibly fast and numerous, and once they latch onto their prey, it is almost impossible to escape.

Meng Ziyi was so frightened that her whole body was shaking and tears were streaming down her face. Only after Ye Bai comforted her did she manage to calm down.

A solemn look appeared on Ye Bai's face.

These ghost insects are too dangerous! They must leave here as soon as possible to avoid being hurt by them.

"You guys run to the left, I'll cover your retreat." Ye Bai instructed.

Yang Mi nodded and pulled Meng Ziyi to the left. Ye Bai drew the soft sword from his waist and dispelled the ghost insects. He turned around and found a huge monster standing behind him.

"This guy..." Ye Bai's pupils suddenly constricted, he recognized that this monster was a zombie!

The shape of a zombie is completely different from that of a regular corpse. When the skin of a regular corpse rots, various pathogens will be produced, turning it into a zombie.

Because zombies are immersed in corpse water for a long time, the skin on the surface of their bodies becomes loose and even ulcerated, and eventually zombies are born.

However, the situation of the zombie in front of him was completely different from that of ordinary zombies.

The zombie's shell was well-preserved, and aside from the stench of decay, there was little sign of the horrific transformation it had undergone. The zombie had smooth muscle lines and a slender, upright figure.

It was wearing armor, holding a sharp blade, and its eyes were sharp and cold.

"This isn't a zombie." Ye Bai stared at the zombie and said, "This zombie possesses a high level of intelligence."

His mind was spinning.

Normally, zombies' thinking is based on instinct. However, this zombie's limbs are very flexible, and it even knows how to hide and attack the enemy. This is really puzzling, unless it is some kind of special life form.

Ye Bai took out a fireball talisman and threw it at the zombie.

boom--!

The fireball exploded, sending up a shower of sparks. The zombie was unable to dodge and was blown back several steps, but soon regained his composure, his eyes fixed on Ye Bai.

"It's alive indeed." Ye Bai murmured.

The zombie in front of me possesses a certain degree of intelligence.

"We must leave here as soon as possible!" Ye Bai reminded.

Yang Mi nodded in agreement.

As the zombies slowly approached, Ye Bai slung his sword over his shoulder and pulled out a mahogany box. He opened it, took out five talismans, and affixed them to his body. He silently chanted a spell, formed hand seals, and pointed at the zombies.

buzzing...

The talisman was activated and immediately burst into flames.

Ye Bai slapped the zombie's chest, and a circle of red flames spread out.

The fire, fueled by the wind, devoured the zombie's torso in an instant.

Roar--!

The zombie roared in pain and struggled desperately. However, it was of no use. The flames grew stronger and stronger, and in a moment, it was completely engulfed.

The flames dissipated, and the zombie's body disappeared, leaving only a pile of ashes.

"What is this?" Ye Bai squatted down, picked up a handful of bone powder and smelled it.

"What a nice smell!" Meng Ziyi came closer, picked up the bone powder and sniffed it, then said, "Is it a zombie's bone?"

"It should be." Yang Mi also squatted down to observe: "This zombie is very strong, it can't have just died. I guess it has been lying in ambush in the dark, waiting for the right opportunity."

Ye Bai frowned and pondered, "A newly dead zombie has no consciousness. This zombie must have been controlled."

"Who?" Meng Ziyi asked.
