Chapter 110: The Night We Almost Lost Everything
Chen Wei gritted his teeth and flashed forward first, his body a blur as he activated his speed ability. He slashed at the zombie’s side, but it twisted impossibly fast, dodging with a wet crack of its bones and swinging a huge fist at him.
Chen Wei barely managed to block it, but the force sent him skidding backward, his boots digging trenches into the broken ground.
"Attack together!" Liora shouted, finally pulling herself together. Fear still gripped her heart, but she forced it down and surged forward with her sword glowing faintly with mana.
Zhou Yinuo moved to the left, trying to flank the zombie. Liang Zihan pulled out the small boulder from the ground, and was trying to aim for its eyes.
Zhao Ren’s group hesitated only for a second before joining too.
But still, the zombie twisted its body again, and this time spikes grew out of its back, shooting outward like a rain of deadly projectiles.
"Watch out!" someone screamed as the spikes start falling on them from all the direction.
They scattered in all directions, some rolling across the ground, others jumping or ducking desperately in an attempt to avoid the deadly spikes. However, even with their frantic movements, a few of them were still grazed by the sharp projectiles. Blood splattered instantly across the broken road, painting the ground with a gruesome reminder of how dangerous the attack was.
Liora managed to dodge most of it, but a sharp spike still grazed her shoulder, ripping through her clothes and burning her skin. She gritted her teeth and pushed through the pain, raising her sword high and charging at the creature.
