Chapter 4907: 5.0659 Everyone's Shaking

On the other side, amidst the faint, swirling mountain mist, along a very narrow mountain path, Duo Shanmei's group was fighting a bloody battle against the corpse puppets transformed from fishermen. However, it seemed the corpse puppets were multiplying, continuously emerging from the end of the mountain path.

Everyone was stuck there, forced into a full-scale clear-out of the corpse puppets.

"These things feel endless!" several Duo clan members cried out in panic.

Indeed, the more corpse puppets they killed, the more appeared, and their spiritual power was already more than half depleted. They simply couldn't sustain such a prolonged fight.

Duo Shanmei swung her sword, beheading a corpse puppet, then glanced up the mountain path.

"Don't just stand there motionless, we need to fight and retreat. Once we get into the mountains, there'll be cover..." She was panting as she cut down another corpse puppet, catching her breath. "Some cover would also... help us recover a bit."

"Go!" Murong Fei made a decisive move, leading her two elder brothers in a retreat towards the mountain mist.

Over twenty Mu family cultivators quickly followed the Murong family, hastily withdrawing into the mountains.

These damned corpse puppets, however, relentlessly attacked everyone in a continuous encirclement.

Dou Xinwu was already filled with regret.

She never expected that the fishermen they rescued in Seaside Village had already been infected with the corpse poison, and now they had all mutated!

If she had known they were so pathetic, she never would have helped them come to Oblivion River.

Her kindness had gone to waste.

"Everyone, pay attention. Don't get bitten by the corpse puppets."

"Young Master Dou, Second Young Master, please help treat the wounded."

"All disciples, listen up! Follow the Murong family, we're going into the mountains!"

Yun Yunzhi looked up at the mountain with a melancholic expression. "Little Junior Sister said she'd be back in two hours. How long has it been? I wonder if something happened to her."

Murong Fei was also very worried, but she knew that worrying wouldn't help at this moment.

Since these corpse puppets were endless, the best approach was to actively avoid them.

"Go! Up the mountain."

"Everyone keep up, don't fall behind."

The group fought and retreated, heading towards the dense fog in the mountains.

Just at this moment, everyone felt a tremor beneath their feet. In an instant, the entire ground seemed to shake.

"What's going on? Why does the scenery in front of me keep shaking?"

"Don't you feel it too? This tree in front of me really is shaking."

"It's not the tree shaking, it's your whole body shaking."

Everyone exchanged glances. They looked at each other and indeed found that everyone was constantly swaying, completely unable to control themselves.

Duo Shanmei struggled to steady herself. "What—what's happening? Why is the ground shaking? Could it be another fierce beast is about to emerge?"

"Shut up!" The others threw her an exasperated look.

The previous fish-dragon had already put all of them on the verge of death. If another Sacred Beast-level creature appeared now, they truly would be beyond salvation.

"Miss Murong, why aren't you nervous at all?"

"Why should I be nervous? It's not just me shaking like this; everyone is shaking."

Upon hearing this, everyone was speechless.

It seemed to make some sense...

"So, given this situation, are we still going up the mountain?" a Duo clan member couldn't help but ask.

"What mountain are we going up now? Haven't you noticed, the scenery in front of us seems to be slowly fading?"
