Chapter 703: Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio - Fairy 75

The Black Mountain Demon found that Ruyi and his men had quickly dealt with the corpses that surrounded them, and quickly released more corpses from his body. For a moment, Ruyi seemed to have returned to the world of "Resident Evil". The endless army of corpses was like the waves of the sea, one wave after another with no end.

Seeing that more and more rotten corpses were surrounding them, the young monk Shifang could only barely resist with the unconscious Master Baiyun on his back. In order to protect Yan Chixia who was regulating his breathing behind him, he could only stay in front of him and could not leave. Of the three main forces, only Zhiqiu Yiye was left standing in the front.

Not only do they have to deal with the raging corpse army, but they also have to protect Ning Caichen and the other two behind them. "If this continues, Zhiqiu Yiye will soon be unable to hold on." Ruyi analyzed the current situation and quickly came to a conclusion, "We must let Ning Caichen and the others deal with the corpses together. As long as we can hold on until Yan Chixia recovers from his injuries, the situation will improve."

"These things are not difficult to deal with. Ning Caichen, Miss Fu, Miss Fu II, you all get some weapons from Zhiqiu Yiye. Let's work together to get rid of these rotten corpses blocking the road!" At the same time, it can also reduce Zhiqiu Yiye's burden.

Ruyi’s idea is right, but the people being protected only want to be protected and don’t want to contribute.

When Ning Caichen saw the endless army of zombies, he became completely scared. He dared not go forward to deal with the zombies. "No, I can't do it. I'm just a weak scholar. These things are zombies. I can't deal with them at all." Ning Caichen's face turned pale and he backed away in fear.

Ning Caichen's reaction made Fu Yuechi, who had finally mustered up the courage to use weapons to protect himself, start to get scared. "Yeah, we are just ordinary people. How can we deal with so many rotten corpses..."

"I give in." Looking at Ning Caichen's cowardly look, Ruyi rolled her eyes repeatedly in anger, "He is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything. Not only is he selfish, but he is also short-sighted."

"Mr. Ning, don't worry. These rotten corpses are just ordinary ones. Even an ordinary person like you can deal with them. Just chop off their heads..." Zhiqiu Yiye thought that Ning Caichen didn't understand the situation of the rotten corpses, so he kindly explained to Ning Caichen.

After hearing Zhiqiu Yiye's words, Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi felt relieved. They immediately pulled out two bronze swords from Zhiqiu Yiye's backpack, held them in their hands, and mustered up their courage to step forward to deal with the corpse.

After seeing Fu Qingfeng's behavior, Ning Caichen not only did not feel ashamed, but stepped forward and grabbed Fu Qingfeng, persuading him: "Qingfeng, your body is still very weak, how can you deal with this kind of thing? Miss Song and Taoist Zhiqiu Yiye are much more powerful than us, just leave it to them."

"But..." Fu Qingfeng felt that Ning Caichen was wrong, "Miss Song just said..."

"Hey, Qingfeng, just listen to me. We will only cause trouble if we stay here." Ning Caichen deliberately lowered his voice for fear of being heard by Ruyi and the others. He secretly looked up and saw that Ruyi and Zhiqiu Yiye were concentrating on dealing with the corpses and did not notice him at all. He turned to Fu Yuechi, who had just prepared herself mentally and was about to go find Zhiqiu Yiye, and gave her a look, motioning her to come over.

"Qingfeng, Yuechi, I think we can leave first." Without waiting for Fu Qingfeng to speak, Ning Caichen continued, "I know you think this is not a good idea, but looking at the current situation, it is obvious that Taoist Yan and the others are in trouble."

"While the Black Mountain Old Demon is being held back by them, we should leave here first and go down the mountain to find helpers. This will not only reduce the burden on Taoist Master Yan and Miss Song, but we may even be able to save their lives."

"But..." Fu Qingfeng knew in her heart that no matter how nice Ning Caichen's words were, his real wish was to live on his own. But even though she knew that Ning Caichen was wrong, Fu Qingfeng couldn't blame him because she really loved Ning Caichen.

“Cai Chen, you take Yue Chi with you and go down the mountain to find people. I, I will stay here. I know martial arts and I am better than you. I can help everyone.” Even if he felt sorry for Taoist Yan and the others, Fu Qingfeng would still choose to let Yan Chixia and the others down if escaping could allow his beloved and his dear sister to survive.

Ning Caichen didn't want to keep Fu Qingfeng, so she didn't listen to what Fu Qingfeng said. She grabbed her and Fu Yuechi's hands and ran down the mountain.

When Ning Caichen refused, Ruyi was just disappointed but did not intend to force it. After all, if the three of them really took action, they could only deal with one or two corpses at most. But a sudden escape would not work. Once these three people ran, they disrupted the rhythm of Ruyi and the others and created a loophole in their cooperative defense. A corpse broke through the defense and grabbed the exhausted young monk Shifang's chest!

"Shifang, be careful!" Zhiqiu Yiye tried to rescue the young monk Shifang in panic, but the corpse behind him gave him no chance at all. Seeing that Shifang was about to die, Master Baiyun behind him suddenly woke up, turned hard, and used his back to block the corpse's attack for the young monk Shifang.

"Master!"

The young monk Shifang's eyes turned red with fright because Master Baiyun suddenly vomited blood, "Master, Master, you..."

"It's all Ning Caichen's fault!" Zhiqiu Yiye was furious. "I told you these things aren't hard to deal with. Not only did they not help, but they even ran away on purpose and harmed Shifang and Master Baiyun!"

"Ahem, these... ahem... are all human nature..." Master Baiyun finally woke up from his coma. Everything that happened before was so fast and so urgent that he did it instinctively without thinking too much.

Seeing Shifang's eyes red and full of tears, Master Baiyun coughed again and spat out blood again, but his complexion got better. He smiled lightly and touched the bald head of the little monk Shifang, and said kindly: "Shifang, remember what happened today. When your master is gone, don't be too kind on your own. When you meet someone asking for help, think more about yourself." It is hard to say whether Master Baiyun regretted agreeing to help Ning Caichen save people, but now it seems that he is just like Yan Chixia at the beginning, and finally realized that human nature can sometimes harm people.

"Master..." Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Master Baiyun was in a state of last breath. The young monk Shifang also obviously realized something. He held his master's hands tightly, feeling that his hands could not be warmed no matter how hard he tried. The young monk Shifang's tears flowed uncontrollably, "Master, I'll remember this."

"Oh!" Yan Chixia woke up earlier than Master Baiyun. He had been regulating his breathing to recover from his injuries. Although he kept his eyes closed, his ears were not blocked, so he saw and heard everything clearly.

"Why bother?" Yan Chixia didn't understand why Ning Caichen and the others had to betray them even though they knew they were trapped in the Black Mountain Old Demon's lair and couldn't get out unless they eliminated the Black Mountain Old Demon.

If you ask Ruyi, she will tell Yan Chixia that this is human nature.
