I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Anno, who was running away, turned his head and glanced in the direction of Tester and the others.

[Far Vision] allows Anno to easily see Tester and the others a kilometer away without any obstacles obstructing his view.

Then he discovered a group of undead zombies approaching Tester's escape party at an extremely fast speed.

Anno even saw dozens of the Viscount's guards set aside to cover the rear and stop the undead zombies from pursuing them.

"They actually caught up with them!"

After worrying about Laura's safety for a moment, Anno was drawn to the screams behind him.

Race: Undead Zombie Wolf

Rating: 13

Life: 8000/8000

Mana: 2000/2000

Skills: [Dead] [Infection] [Bite] [Violent Bite] [Claw Strike] [Pounce] [Speed ​​Boost]

Anno glanced at the dozen or so zombie wolves and other zombie monsters following closely behind, ranging from level 11 to 13.

"Does the bonus disappear once you leave the Cursed Lands?"

The zombie wolf's current health is considered normal for this level.

This gave Anno an idea.

On the other side, Warwick watched the mercenaries being caught up behind him, feeling heartbroken while also thinking about how to break the deadlock.

"President Anno, Commander Linda, the undead are far too sensitive to the scent of the living. With so many of us gathered together, they'll keep chasing us!"

Warwick shouted towards Anno and Linda, "I suggest we split up and escape; that would increase our chances of survival!"

"I agree!"

Linda had also thought of this and agreed without hesitation.

Upon hearing Warwick's voice, the other mercenaries immediately fled in the direction away from the adventurers' camp.

In terms of numbers, there are over a thousand adventurers!

To the undead zombies, this was like a giant light bulb.

The approximately two thousand mercenaries scattered and fled in a fan shape.

Many mercenaries noticed that most of the undead zombies behind them were chasing after the adventurers, which made them breathe a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness there are plenty of adventurers! Thank goodness!"

"He went after the adventurers, just as I suspected!"

Seeing most of the zombies chasing the adventurers, the fleeing mercenaries began to gloat.

Who told the Adventurers' Guild to bring over a thousand people this time, just to show off?

Some mercenary groups even ran away and, upon discovering that there was only one zombie wolf behind them, decided to fight back and kill the zombie wolf.

"Commander, there's only one undead zombie behind us."

"Commander, running like this isn't going to work. We're exhausted, and it's catching up fast!"

"How about we try to take it down?"

Upon hearing this suggestion, the mercenaries running behind immediately agreed.

If they don't work together to take down the zombie wolves now, those of them who are running behind will be killed once they are caught up.

It only buys time for the others to escape.

The leader of this mercenary group is a level 10 knight.

He didn't want his men to be gradually killed by a zombie wolf.

"Everyone, get ready! Let's kill this wolf!"

"oh!"

Dozens of people drew their weapons and turned to face the zombie wolves.

A few minutes later, dozens of infected undead zombies looked around in confusion, then instinctively headed north.

The South is the land of curses.

Expanding northward is an instinct inherent to the undead after their birth.

......

"President, we're too big a target. How about I take a group of people to distract them?" Mark shot an arrow behind him and suggested to Anno beside him.

The arrow pierced the zombie wolf's eye socket with pinpoint accuracy, embedding itself in its head.

However, even after losing 1000 HP, the zombie wolf acted as if nothing had happened and continued to chase after them.

Although it was quickly bombarded by Anuo and Geng Qingxue's magic, it still didn't die and had four or five thousand health points left.

Unlike the mercenaries who were afraid of falling behind.

Anno, along with bronze-level adventurers and high-level iron-level adventurers, attacked the zombie beasts that were chasing them, slowing down the latter's speed.

However, the low-level adventurers were simply too slow, and the distance between the zombie army and the adventurers was closing.

"I've roughly estimated that there are around two thousand undead zombies following us. That's far beyond our capabilities!"

Mark continued to offer his advice.

The zombie army is still several hundred meters away from them.

But judging from the speed of both sides, the team will be caught up in less than five kilometers!

However, the group was still six or seven kilometers away from the town of Grür.

Not to mention Varkam, which is dozens of kilometers away.

Mark had already made up his mind that no matter what, even if it meant sacrificing some adventurers, he would ensure Anno's safe evacuation.

"If obstacles slow them down and disperse them, we can not only create distance, but also launch a counterattack!"

Anno licked his lips, a bold idea forming in his mind.

He now possesses a Yellow-level Soul and over a dozen Level 11 summons.

With the help of his summoned creatures, Anno is fully capable of killing the zombie monsters behind him.

These high-level zombie monsters give a ton of experience; killing a few dozen will definitely level you up!

The key issue is that killing the zombie monsters takes time.

One wrong move and you could find yourself surrounded by an army of zombies.

Anno looked at the more than four hundred yellow-level souls in his hand and wanted to learn the [Dead] skill.

Since undead zombies rely on the aura of the living to distinguish friend from foe.

Anno, who learned the [Dead] skill, would likely be seen as one of the same kind by the undead zombies.

However, just as Anno was preparing to learn about the "Dead," a message suddenly appeared in his mind.

"If I learn about the [Dead], will I become an undead creature, and will my body become like theirs?"

This cost led Anno to abandon learning [The Dead].

If Anno becomes an undead creature, he can basically say goodbye to human society.

This is a skill that should not be learned unless absolutely necessary.

Therefore, Anno learned two second-tier spells: [Flame Gate] and [Dark Orb].

The [Flame Gate] consumes a huge amount of mana, costing 1000 points each time.

However, it is also very powerful.

Anno cast [Flame Gate] towards the rear of the group, creating a ten-meter-wide, five-meter-high flame barrier in front of the zombie monster.

After passing through the [Flame Gate], Anno discovered that these zombie monsters not only had their bodies charred, but also had lost 2000 health points!

If it were a normal living organism, the severe burns on its body surface would indicate serious injury.

But the zombies had no effect on them and continued to chase the adventurers.

"President, please make a decision quickly!"

Mark became even more anxious when he saw that even Anno's powerful magic had little effect.

Excluding the zombie monsters hanging thirty or forty meters behind them, the zombie army behind them was now only about two hundred meters away from the group.

Anno gritted his teeth, looked around, and searched for a way to break the deadlock.

Suddenly, he saw a forest to his left.

Anno's eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted to the others, "Into the forest!"

As long as there are obstacles, the sluggish undead army will not only slow down, but the ranks will also gradually be scattered.

Not only can adventurers take the opportunity to escape, but Anno can also lead the elite of the adventurers to attempt a counterattack.

This forest is not a forbidden forest, but it is still quite large.

Less than half a minute after the thousands of adventurers frantically rushed into the forest, the undead army followed suit.

The reckless army of undead even knocked down several rows of trees on the perimeter, causing their speed to drop drastically.

Before entering the forest, Anno summoned a level 11 lizardman to climb a tree at the edge of the forest to observe the situation.

After discovering that trees did indeed slow down the undead army, Anno recalled the lizardmen who had almost fallen into the undead tide and gathered Mark, Hansen, Xue Feibai, and the thirty-odd adventurers who had killed the Goblin King around him!

"Let's deal with the zombie monsters behind us first!" Anno took out the undead hearts he had collected earlier from his backpack and offered them as a sacrifice to the undead zombie souls (yellow).

A summoned creature with a terrifying face, shriveled flesh, and identical appearance to the undead zombies behind him appeared in front of Anno.

After the undead zombie appeared, it immediately charged at a zombie wolf.

"roar!"

A dozen or so second-tier zombie monsters were only twenty meters away from Anno and the others, completely out of sync with the undead army behind them.

The zombie wolf, attacked by the undead zombies summoned by Anno, never expected to be attacked by its own kind and was knocked down into a large tree.

Then his chest was pierced by the black, sharp claws of the undead zombie, which ripped out all his internal organs.
