Chapter 445 

‘It’s still alive?’ Nash was intrigued. 

He stepped forward, grabbed the Undead Corpse King’s wrist with both hands, and pulled it away from Derek. 

“Ow.. Ow… It hurts…” Derek cried out in pain with a trembling voice.  S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“The severed hand’s fingers seem to be bent, so if I force the hand out, it might damage your anus and intestines!” Nash let go of the hand and dared not forcibly remove it. 

“Then… what should we do?” Derek was breaking out in a cold sweat. He wished that he could find a hole to crawl into and hide. 

“Who told you to not tell us sooner?” 

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. 

“Use Madam Lunaris’ tamarind wine!’ 

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. 

“How about it? I told you so.” Nico rubbed his nose and smiled triumphantly. 

“That’s odd… Where did they go?” Nash frowned. 

Although the Undead Corpse King’s 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, “The Undead Corpse King lost an arm… His strength probably dropped significantly, so he must have gone into hiding to recover!” 

Old Herera said in a deep voice, “Don’t let your guard down. Let’s leave the tomb of the King of Medicine first!” 

“Can you please pay some attention to me? I’m about to die…” 

Derek cried as he held onto the Undead Corpse King’s hand tightly. 

Bradley searched his backpack for the tamarind wine. 

After looking for the longest time, he could not find it. 

“When Mr. Nash and the Undead Corpse King were fighting earlier, didn’t you take the tamarind wine to help?” Nico reminded Bradley. 

“Oh right… I’ll go look for it!” 

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. 

“We’re not sure where the Undead Corpse King is yet. Let’s leave first before coming up plan!” 

Melody glanced at the severed hand in Derek’s 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, “There are so many people here, so why was I the one who got hurt?!” 

Nico cleared his throat. “Then who would you rather it be?” 

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, “Let’s go…” 

Nico and Finn took out their rope and grappling hook. 

Finn hesitated. “The entrance we came in from was blown up, so which one do we go to now?” 

Anders pointed to the entrance where he and Old Herera had entered. He said, “We’ll take this one…” 

Finn ignored Anders and looked at Nash. 

“We’ll use that one!” 

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. 

“What about me?” 

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, “You can stay here and accompany the King of Medicine!”

The color drained from Derek’s face. “Mr. Nash… you can’t do this to me… I didn’t contribute much, but I did put in a lot of effort!” 

Bradley burst into laughter. “He’s just giving you a scare. Later, we’ll tie a rope around you and pull you up!” 

Derek breathed a sigh of relief. “You almost sent me into a heart attack!” 

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 Daniel’s corpse that was not too far away and could not help but sigh. I’m sorry, Old Dan… I can’t bring you back!” 

Old Herera and Old Dan were ride-or-die friends. Their families were very close too, but today, he could only bring his grandson’s body back. 

Anders said to Old Herera, “Go up first. I’ll take care of Daniel’s body…”
