“It’s the Licker.”

A player shouted, “Mutated Licker!”

Under the barrage of gunfire, the Licker gave up on attacking Han Sheng and fled to the other side.

Two shield-wielding holy cast knights immediately stepped forward and tried to block the Licker.

“Crack!!”

Shu Shu Shu…

However, the Licker jumped from the ground and easily climbed up the wall and then onto the ceiling. It broke away from the pursuit and disappeared into the darkness.

“Captain? Are you okay?”

The player team surrounded Han Sheng to check his condition.

“I’m fine.”

Han Sheng took out a healing ointment and smeared it on the wound. Then, he wrapped it with bandages to stop the bleeding and let the wound heal quickly.

After making sure that he was not infected with the zombie virus, Han Sheng was finally relieved.

“Was that the Licker just now?”

“Um…” the player who had given the hint just now hesitated again. He said, “It’s very similar, but also a little different. My previous life ended in the hands of a Licker during the Zombie Apocalypse… I think it should be it…”

“Why would a Licker appear in this place? This doesn’t make sense.”

“Yeah, there’s no zombie virus here…”

“And that thing’s vitality is too strong, right? If it was a Licker, its head would have been blown off long ago.”

“But its movement and attack patterns are indeed very similar…”

The leader of the holy cast knights, Rhode, heard everyone’s discussion and frowned. He said loudly, “Everyone, be quiet!”

The player team quieted down.

Rhode walked to the front of the players who were discussing. He had a serious expression on his face.

“I’m not sure what kind of Licker you’re talking about. I can tell you with certainty that we just encountered a ghoul that had undergone a special mutation.”

“Then I’ve seen the description of this creature in the history of the Holy Court. The most obvious feature is the three vertical lines between their eyebrows.”

Rhode turned to look at Han Sheng. “I think the aura of the undead that I sensed before came from them…”

The players fell silent.

Mutated ghoul?!

Not the Licker?

Han Sheng was also confused by Rhode.

After thinking carefully, there was still a big difference between a Licker and a ghoul.

For example, the Licker’s body was red due to the large ulceration of its skin, while the unknown creature he had just encountered was grayish-brown.

Also…

Han Sheng carefully recalled the scene when he had been attacked.

Raising his head, Han Sheng nodded and said, “Indeed, there are vertical lines between its brows.”

So the thing he had just encountered was really a product of this world?

But why had he never heard of it before?

“Chi Chi Chi!!”

Just as everyone was puzzled, they heard the ‘Chi Chi Chi’ sounds again.

Looking in the direction of the sound, the ghouls that had previously escaped into the darkness returned and scuttled over from the other side of the wall.

“D*mn it! They still dare to come!”

Player after player raised their handguns and fired at the Lickers.

The number of monsters had increased!

This time, it was three!

“Kill them!”

Han Sheng, who was in the front row, gritted his teeth and raised his spear with all his might. He stabbed at the ghoul that was stunned by the bullets!

“Chi!”

The spear pierced through the Licker’s body!

Han Sheng raised his foot and kicked it away!

Eh?

What was going on?!

Han Sheng was shocked.

He found that the ghoul only flopped on the ground a few times after its heart was pierced by the spear. Then, it pounced on him again!

“It’s a mutated ghoul. They are filthy creatures from the death realm. They can’t be killed by normal methods. Only the Holy Light can expel them!” Rhode shouted. “Be careful!”

Can’t be killed!?

They had such a special ability?

“How can I be careful!?”

Han Sheng cursed in his heart.

He was now sure that the thing was not a Licker.

Because a Licker would die if its heart was pierced through!

But what should he do?!

Han Sheng once again pierced the Licker’s heart with his spear.

“Get out of the way!!”

Rhode shouted and appeared beside Han Sheng. He raised the long sword in his hand and stabbed it down from top to bottom!

“Chi!!”

The long sword pierced through the Licker’s body and nailed it to the floor!

“Squeak, Squeak, Squeak!!”

The Licker struggled crazily and waved its sharp claws.

Rhode silently chanted a prayer and the sword emitted a weak Holy Light.

“Hum…”

The Holy Light gradually shone, and the Licker, which was nailed to the ground, began to struggle crazily!

Dark golden incantations gradually appeared on the Licker’s wound and quickly spread out.

“Chi Chi Chi…”

The Licker’s entire body seemed to be burning and a white mist emerged!

After a full half a minute, the Licker gradually melted into a pool of blood in front of everyone.

Facing the players’ gaze, Rhode took a deep breath and withdrew the long sword in his hand. He explained to everyone, “Only the strength of the Holy Light can completely dispel and purify it…”

Han Sheng felt guilty and asked, “Why is there an undead creature here?”

Rhode shook his head. “I’m not sure.”

Han Sheng gritted his teeth.

He thought that he would get a good mission for free, but he didn’t expect to encounter such a disgusting creature as the ghoul.

Not only was it disgusting on the outside, but it also had an undead ability that was even more disgusting.

Han Sheng admitted that he was panicking.

Judging from the strength and level of the ghouls, they were not to be trifled with.

If he continued to stay here now, the risk level would increase greatly.

Although he was a little reluctant to part with the mission reward, he still had to be alive to take it!

It was still alright for now. If he were to go deeper into the lower level later, what if he encountered a large number of ghouls later on? Wouldn’t that mean the entire team would be wiped out?!

“Chi Chi…”

Just as Han Sheng was about to give the order to retreat, a series of ‘Chi Chi Chi’ sounds were heard.

This time, the sounds came from all directions.

Everyone instantly raised their vigilance and formed a circle on the spot to guard the surroundings.

“Hiss!!”

A grayish-brown shadow darted out from the darkness and pounced on the holy cast knight at the front.

“Bang!! Bang Bang Bang Bang!”

The tense player pulled the trigger again.

The Licker was hit by the dense bullets and flew back into the darkness with a roar.

Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the dense sizzling shadows sounded in everyone’s ears.

The sound was dozens of times louder than before!

The player thought of something at the same time and their expressions changed drastically.

“Damn it! They’re coming! Alert!! Retreat! Maintain the formation and retreat!”

Han Sheng shouted.

He realized that he had been ambushed.

An ambush by the ghouls!

The next moment, more than a dozen grayish-brown shadows darted out from the darkness!

The holy cast knight was the first to wave his sword and raise his shield to block the Licker.

“Captain! Oh no! There are more behind us!”

However, more and more Lickers swarmed out from the darkness! Even from behind!

Chi Chi Chi…

The sounds of friction became more and more frequent.

A fine layer of sweat appeared on Han Sheng’s forehead.

He could feel that in the darkness, more and more Lickers swarmed toward the center!

This was bad…

How many of them were there?
