Chapter 26: True Fear

After the transformation was complete, the Blood Rage Mummy did not give Zhuge Zhan and the others time to react; it immediately began running toward Zhuge Zhan and the others. Its speed was very slow at first, but as it continuously accelerated, the Blood Rage Mummy's speed became faster and faster, finally reaching a limit. Then, the Blood Rage Mummy pushed off the ground with force, launching itself like a fired cannonball toward the front of Zhuge Zhan and the others. Then, its remaining left fist became as large as a millstone, and it smashed a punch toward Zhuge Zhan and the others.

*Boom*, when seeing the Blood Rage Mummy's millstone-sized fist blasting over, Zhuge Zhan immediately stepped out with both legs, held the rear of the mace handle with his right hand, held the front of the mace handle with his left hand, swung the mace from behind to the front into a semi-circular arc, and heavily blasted it onto the fist of the Blood Rage Mummy that was blasting toward them.

*Crash*, Zhuge Zhan's mace was directly smashed to pieces, but it still couldn't block the Blood Rage Mummy's fist from falling. But because of the previous head-on collision, Zhuge Zhan took a few steps back, and he also took advantage of the backward force to jump backward hard, dodging the fist that the Blood Rage Mummy continued to blast down. Others also took advantage of the short gap between Zhuge Zhan and the Blood Rage Mummy's head-on collision to scatter and leave, so the Blood Rage Mummy's attack this time didn't cause any harm to anyone.

But because the crowd scattered and fled, many people were isolated. The Blood Rage Mummy also saw this, so after blasting one punch, it immediately kicked forward with both legs, directly landing beside Zhuge Xiong, grabbing Zhuge Xiong and lifting him up, and then opened its mouth to bite on Zhuge Xiong's arm.

"Ah..." Zhuge Xiong let out a painful scream, his left hand was directly bitten off from the shoulder. "Ptooey," but the Blood Rage Mummy didn't eat the flesh it bit off like it did when it bit Zhuge Xun and Zhuge Mei, but directly spat it on the ground, and then continued to lift Zhuge Xiong up. When it lifted Zhuge Xiong's leg to the same height as its mouth, it wanted to bite again. Others saw this situation and all thought in their hearts that as long as it could bite this time, Zhuge Xiong's leg would definitely break, because the Blood Rage Mummy's mouth was gradually becoming larger when it wanted to bite, like a snake whose lower jaw was dislocated, making its mouth open wider. Now it had grown to the extent that it could completely bite off Zhuge Xiong's thigh.

"Don't, don't, save me quickly." Zhuge Xiong saw the Blood Rage Mummy's wide-open mouth and wanted to continue biting his thigh, which made him scared out of his wits, and he could only shout for help from others loudly. *Boom*, just when the Blood Rage Mummy was about to bite Zhuge Xiong's thigh, Zhuge Zhan, who had arrived, blasted on its lower jaw with one punch, directly blasting it away. At the same time, Zhuge Xiong, who was grabbed, also fell to the ground after following the Blood Rage Mummy to fall backward for a distance, and the Blood Rage Mummy also fell to a place five meters away from Zhuge Xiong, further away.

"Are you okay?" Seeing Zhuge Xiong fall not far in front of him, Zhuge Zhan immediately ran to Zhuge Xiong to inquire, and at the same time wanted to help Zhuge Xiong up.

"Ah..." But he was stopped by Zhuge Xiong's painful scream. Zhuge Xiong was now covered in blood, and his left arm was constantly bleeding outward.

"Zhuge Yu, come over quickly to stop the bleeding for Zhuge Xiong and treat him." After seeing Zhuge Xiong's injury, Zhuge Zhan immediately shouted to Zhuge Yu, because Zhuge Yu knew how to treat injuries. The injuries suffered from fighting the mummy earlier were treated by Zhuge Yu for them. Although there was no quick-acting medicine here that could treat this kind of broken arm injury, simple treatment, as long as the bleeding could be stopped, would be fine. Otherwise, if it continued like this, Zhuge Xiong would die from excessive blood loss.

"Ah... ah... oh." After hearing Zhuge Zhan's shout, Zhuge Yu hesitated for a moment before reacting, and finally ran toward Zhuge Zhan and Zhuge Xiong.

"Hehehe," but at this moment, the Blood Rage Mummy made a *hehehe* sound, as if two metal pieces were rubbing in its throat, making people's skin crawl. At the same time, the Blood Rage Mummy didn't stop and continued to rush toward Zhuge Hua, who was closest to it, and then blasted Zhuge Hua away with one punch, and Zhuge Hua was also blasted to vomit blood, directly spraying onto the Blood Rage Mummy's body.

"Hehehe..." It was the sound like two metal pieces rubbing again, but this time it sounded very excited. At the same time, the blood sprayed on its body by Zhuge Hua was gradually absorbed by the Blood Rage Mummy's body, making the color of the Blood Rage Mummy's body become deeper, and there was a faint phenomenon of turning toward black.

"Ah..." Just when Zhuge Zhan and the others' attention was still on the change of the Blood Rage Mummy's body, the Blood Rage Mummy had already launched an attack on Zhuge Lang. At this time, Zhuge Lang's chest was already bleeding profusely, because this time the Blood Rage Mummy didn't use its fist to attack him, but used its claws to directly grab Zhuge Lang from the neck all the way down, directly drawing deep-to-the-bone wounds on Zhuge Lang's torso, and the internal organs in the abdomen could also be faintly seen. But the blood flowing out of Zhuge Lang's body didn't drip to the ground, but weirdly formed a blood line and flowed directly toward the Blood Rage Mummy.

"Hehehe," it was still the sound like two metal pieces rubbing. Perhaps because this time Zhuge Lang's blood was directly absorbed by it, this time the Blood Rage Mummy's roar sounded exceptionally excited. At the same time, its body directly turned into a light black and was still changing toward a more intense black. It was just that the blood line between Zhuge Lang and it broke, because there was no extra blood in Zhuge Lang's body for it to absorb. And Zhuge Lang, who had lost all his blood, had already slumped to the ground, showing no signs of life, clearly already dead. The time this all happened was only less than five minutes, and Zhuge Zhan wanted to rescue him but it was too late.

"Ah... I want to leave here, I don't want to die here." Seeing Zhuge Lang being drained of all his blood and dying, Zhuge Mei, who was bitten on the thigh by the Blood Rage Mummy earlier, was the first to be unable to accept it and collapsed, crying and shouting.

"Ah... I don't want to die here, I want to go out." "I want to go out, I don't want to die here." With the first one, there would be a second one, especially when the emotion of fear had already taken root in their hearts, it would accelerate the outbreak. Zhuge Mei's fearful scream was like a lit fuse, igniting the fear bomb buried in the hearts of others, and they all began to collapse, losing their will to fight.

At this moment, except for Zhuge Zhan who still had the will to fight, everyone else had lost their will to fight, deeply feeling what true fear was. ===== CHAPTER 27 =====
