I quickly rushed over to pull Zhou Sheng up, and we ran into the security room next door. Then we slammed the door shut and locked it with a "bang".
"This is a thousand-year-old leather-skinned corpse. The Qiankun Mirror can only delay it for a while."
"The time of changing its skin is when it's the most vulnerable. The longer the time passes, the stronger its recovered power will be. Then the Qiankun Mirror will be useless."
Zhou Sheng was shaking all over with fear.
"Then what should we do next?"
Just as I was about to speak, I suddenly felt a movement under my feet. I looked down and saw that the leather-skinned corpse was crawling in through the gap under the door.
I quickly shone the Qiankun Mirror at it again. At this, the leather-skinned corpse retreated. The two of us waited by the door, like those who waited by the tree stump for the hare. We shone the mirror at it every once in a while. After doing this several times, Zhou Sheng wasn't that scared anymore.
"This thing is just a bit terrifying in appearance. Actually, its combat power isn't that strong."
I shook my head.
"It's not that easy to deal with."
As soon as I finished speaking, the glass window opposite shattered.
"Oh no, it's going to come in through the window."
When I rushed to the window with the Qiankun Mirror, the leather-skinned corpse quickly crawled in through the gap under the door. It coiled around Zhou Sheng like a snake.
Its hand firmly gripped Zhou Sheng's neck. Zhou Sheng rolled his eyes and couldn't speak.
I turned my head and was shocked. Just as I was about to shine the Qiankun Mirror at the leather-skinned corpse, the leather-skinned corpse carried Zhou Sheng and rushed out through the door at great speed.
I chased after them nervously. The leather-skinned corpse carried Zhou Sheng and leaped into the air, and in just a few steps, it climbed up the tree in the community.
The Qiankun Mirror couldn't shine on it at all.
In just a few minutes, it could eat Zhou Sheng, recover more than half of its power, and then start killing people in the community.
I was so anxious that sweat broke out on my forehead. When I was at a loss, I suddenly heard my grandfather's voice.
"Crazy girl, where's the leather-skinned corpse!"
I quickly pointed with my hand.
"It's up in the tree!"
"Miss Qiao, hurry up—"
Behind my grandfather was a girl in her early twenties with a high ponytail.
She took out a pitch-black token and shouted loudly, "The Order of the Five Thunders!"
The next second, a bolt of lightning as thick as an arm flashed. The leather-skinned corpse, along with Zhou Sheng, fell from the tree together.
