âItâs still alive?â Nash was intrigued.
He stepped forward, grabbed the Undead Corpse Kingâs wrist with both hands, and pulled it away from Derek.
âOw.. Ow⦠It hurtsâ¦â Derek cried out in pain with a trembling voice.
âThe severed handâs fingers seem to be bent, so if I force the hand out, it might damage your anus and intestines!â Nash let go of the hand and dared not forcibly remove it.
âThen⦠what should we do?â Derek was breaking out in a cold sweat. He wished that he could find a hole to crawl into and hide.
âWho told you to not tell us sooner?â
Nash rolled his eyes at Derek.
The severed hand did not have eyes, so it obviously did not perform an anal exam on Derek instantly.
That meant that Derek had known about it for
immediately.
a while but did not inform everyone
Everyone present realized that based on how he had eyed Melody earlier, he probably thought that it was Melody grabbing him.
They looked at Derek with both worry and amusement.
âUse Madam Lunarisâ tamarind wine!â
Old Herera finally spoke just as the coffin rose to the surface.
Everyone turned their attention away from Derek and looked outside.
It was empty outside. The Undead Corpse King and deathworms had disappeared.
âHow about it? I told you so.â Nico rubbed his nose and smiled triumphantly.
âThatâs odd⦠Where did they go?â Nash frowned.
Although the Undead Corpse Kingâs IQ was not high, any other beast would have been waiting for its prey at the exit.
It was possible that he did not intend to take revenge because he had already lost a hand.
Anders guessed, âThe Undead Corpse King lost an arm⦠His strength probably dropped significantly, so he must have gone into hiding to recover!â
Old Herera said in a deep voice, âDonât let your guard down. Letâs leave the tomb of the King of Medicine first!â
âCan you please pay some attention to me? Iâm about to dieâ¦â
Derek cried as he held onto the Undead Corpse Kingâs hand tightly.
Bradley searched his backpack for the tamarind wine.
After looking for the longest time, he could not find it.
âWhen Mr. Nash and the Undead Corpse King were fighting earlier, didnât you take the tamarind wine to help?â Nico reminded Bradley.
âOh right⦠Iâll go look for it!â
Bradley walked toward the direction where he had been blown away earlier.
However, all he found were fragments of the plastic bottle and a pile of dead poisonous insects.
Nash took this opportunity to try several methods to remove the severed hand but failed.
âWeâre not sure where the Undead Corpse King is yet. Letâs leave first before coming up plan!â
Melody glanced at the severed hand in Derekâs butt.
His pants were stained red with blood.
She wanted to laugh but could not because everyone else looked so worried.
with a
Derek was close to bursting into tears as he said, âThere are so many people here, so why was I the one who got hurt?!â
Nico cleared his throat. âThen who would you rather it be?â
Derek looked around.
He saw everyone staring at him with murderous intent.
He had no choice but to lower his head and cry silently.
Nash said calmly, âLetâs goâ¦â
Nico and Finn took out their rope and grappling hook.
Finn hesitated. âThe entrance we came in from was blown up, so which one do we go to now?â
Anders pointed to the entrance where he and Old Herera had entered. He said, âWeâll take this oneâ¦â
Finn ignored Anders and looked at Nash.
âWeâll use that one!â
Nash nodded to agree with Anders.
At the entrance of the cave, Finn and Melody threw the grappling hook toward the opening.
The grappling hook grasped firmly on the stone wall outside the cave. Then, everyone began to climb up in an orderly manner.
âWhat about me?â
Derek looked at everyone anxiously.
He was worried that the severed hand would tunnel further into him and did not dare to let
of it.
Nash chuckled and teased, âYou can stay here and accompany the King of Medicine!â
go
The color drained from Derekâs face. âMr. Nash⦠you canât do this to me⦠I didnât contribute much, but I did put in a lot of effort!â
Bradley burst into laughter. âHeâs just giving you a scare. Later, weâll tie a rope around you and pull you up!â
Derek breathed a sigh of relief. âYou almost sent me into a heart attack!â
If it was someone else who made the joke, he would not have believed them.
However, it was Mr. Nash, so he had to believe him.
Old Herera looked at Danielâs corpse that was not too far away and could not help but sigh. Iâm sorry, Old Dan⦠I canât bring you back!â
Old Herera and Old Dan were ride-or-die friends. Their families were very close too, but today, he could only bring his grandsonâs body back.
Anders said to Old Herera, âGo up first. Iâll take care of Danielâs bodyâ¦â
