Chapter 62 Ch 62: Fighting Blood Corpses

"What? We have to kill all these Blood Corpses?"

All the people present here were shocked when they heard the words of the so-called protector of the First Floor. They couldn't help but despair. Blood Corpses were known for their ferocity and cruelty, they don't have any emotion and only know to kill and eat human fleshes.

How can martial warriors like them deal with these monsters just because they want to? They immediately understood why there are so many corpses here and what exactly happened.

Dealing with so many Blood Corpses is easy to say than done. They knew many of them will die here. They couldn't help but panic in their hearts and thought of escaping from this place. Now, they no longer wanted to stay in the Earth King's Ancient Land for a single more minute.

Although here, they can find many treasures that can be proved to be a great help to their future cultivation, the most important thing for them is still their lives. If they couldn't even stay alive, what can they do with those treasures?

"No, I don't want to stay here any longer. I'm going back!"

"I'll also not participate in the exploration of this Earth King's Ancient Land. My life is more important to me than any treasure. I'm going out and leaving this place."

"Let's go. We can't stay here, otherwise, all of us will die!"

Just as these people wanted to turn and go back, the ground trembled again and many sinister-looking Blood Corpses once again crawled out from the ground one after another.

"Hehehe!"

At this time, the man in black who also called himself the protector of the First Floor of Earth King's Ancient Land laughed loudly. After that, he said in a cunning voice, "Sorry guys, I just forgot to remind you of a very important point. No one can go back after arriving at the plaza. As long as anyone tries to escape, more and more Blood Corpses will come out from underground and target you guys. So, it'll be better for you all to not try to escape and fight these Blood Corpses."

"As long as you can kill these Blood Corpses, you'll gain two options. The first option can lead you guys out of the Earth King's Ancient Land and the second option can lead you guys to the Second Floor. The choice will be yours to make at that time. However, for now, all of us have to fight these Blood Corpses and kill them no matter what. And if you can't kill these Blood Corpses, then I'll have a piece of bad news that all of you will die here without a complete corpse. After your death, all of you will also turn into Blood Corpses and will target the people in the next batch who'll come to this place."

Silence~

The words of the protector caused everyone to fall into complete silence. And in the next moment, a huge commotion broke out among them. Many people started panicking and started shouting that they can't escape death no matter what.

Someone even wanted to escape once again but they were stopped by other martial warriors present at this place.

Everyone understood that they can't escape the disaster, all they could do is to face this disaster head-on if they want to stay alive.

Looking at the incoming Blood Corpses, even Ivaan, Aaban, Aayan, and the other such powerful people could not help but feel their scalps go numb.

"Everyone, don't let them bite you!" Ivaan warned with a deep voice and was the first to rush to the front of a Blood Corpse, releasing a powerful and ferocious palm force.

Bang!

With a "bang" sound, one of the Blood Corpse was immediately smashed into pieces. The green-colored mucus along with disgusting internal organs fell onto the ground.

"Kill! Do not show mercy to these things otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. Also, don't let that mucus touch your skin. Otherwise, you'll suffer inhuman pain and torture and it will be very troublesome to stay alive after that."

In an instant, the entire plaza was engulfed in a fierce battle. All people held sharp swords, spears, blades, axes, and many other kinds of weapons as they fought with the Blood Corpses.

The Blood Corpse's roars stung everyone's eardrums every few seconds. They were surprised that they were able to fight against such a huge army of Blood Corpses so easily, but they were also very cautious.

"Earth Hand!"

BOOM!

A stone wall in the shape of a hand came out of the ground and shattered a Blood Corpse into pieces in the blink of an eye. This attack was launched by Aaban. In his eyes, dealing with these Blood Corpses was too easy. These Blood Corpses are not as difficult to deal with as they thought in the beginning.

"Hmph, petty tricks." Raymond snorted lightly as a light flashed between his brows. The tyrannical energy quietly turned into an invisible blade as slashed forward.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

Several sharp sounds could be heard and the heads of several Blood Corpses were cut off immediately. However, after their heads were chopped off, those Blood Corpses merely dripped green liquid but did not fall down. They continued to fight back with their long arms.

"Heh." Raymond chuckled when he saw this and said with interest, "Senior Ivaan, chopping off the heads of these Blood Corpse is still not enough. They don't seem to be killed."

"Don't talk. I think something is strange here? These Blood Corpses are too easy to kill. If this is really the case, then so many people wouldn't have died. So, focus on killing them. If chopping off their heads doesn't work then destroy their body but don't let them stay alive." Ivaan shouted and said.

Raymond nodded his head and soon after, another sharp blade formed from spirit energy slashed across the air. The severed heads of the Blood Corpses were once again split into two halves from the middle.

A cruel and bloody battle was taking place but the blood corpses continued to climb up from the ground. There doesn't seem to be any end to them. This caused all the martial warriors to be extremely dissatisfied.

One of the people darted his gaze at the protector and said loudly, "Hey you, tell us, why are these Blood Corpses still coming out from the ground?"

The Protector laughed and replied, "Oh, I forgot to remind you. As long as a fight broke out and blood is shed, the smell of blood will attract the Blood Corpses, causing them to continuously climb out from underground. Hehe!"

"F*ck!"

"Damn you!"

"Bastard!"

People started cursing the protector one after another. He was really too evil.

The protector seemed to have already expected this, his expression doesn't change at all. He just continued to observe the battle from the side.

Alex, Eloise, Ezra, Hugo, and the rest were also working hard to kill the Blood Corpses.

"Alex, you have to cut them into as many pieces as possible before you can kill them." A Kim Min-Oh told Alex when he saw Alex only slashing the Blood Corpse a single time before moving to slash at a second Blood Corpse.

Alex knew what he was doing, he acted as if he didn't hear Kim Min-Oh and continued to do what he was doing. His eyes flashed with a cold light as he waved the sword in his hand, and an extremely sharp sword light rushed towards the Blood Corpses from all directions. They were instantly minced into a pile of minced meat.

When Kim Min-Oh saw Alex ignoring him, he was angered and wanted to say something but he was stopped by Hugo who said in low voice, "Don't say anything. Look at those blood corpses. Although he has attacked only one time, none of them are alive. All of them have died. And his last attack even turned those Blood Corpses into a pile of minced meat."

"He clearly knows what he is doing. You should focus on your own battle."

Kim Min-Oh finally realized this point and nodded his head. Then he started fighting fiercely.

"Devil Break Mountain Collapse!"

"Four Great Art's Wind Slasher!"

"Sword Roar Nine Heavens!"

A series of powerful martial skills exploded in the plaza, turning the blood corpses into broken pieces. In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred Blood Corpses were killed on the spot. The emerald green liquid had scattered limbs that emitted a pungent smell.

"We have almost won. The number of Blood Corpses is decreasing." Seeing the number of Blood Corpses decreasing, Ezra shouted softly.

"Hey, I thought they are some powerful opponents. It turned out they are nothing much than weaklings!" A person called You Zhong laughed contemptuously as a proud look emerged on his face. He was from the Hundred Poison Sect.

However, just as he finished his sentence, the ground suddenly shook heavily. Then, something that made everyone turn pale with fright happened. The corpses of the humans that they had seen earlier suddenly rose to their feet. One after another, they opened their blood-red eyes and revealed their ferocious faces as they charged toward the crowd.
