Chapter 89 Zombies
Chapter 89 Zombies
The Bone-Faced Clan, the Goat-Horned Clan, the Corpse Clan, and the Spirit Clan are the four races closest to the human territory.
Like humans, these races have branched out and become intricately intertwined throughout the ancient realm. It is unknown how dangerous this year-end will be.
Chen Ren tidied up some things on the mountain and spent all the money he had originally intended to use to buy flying sword techniques. He bought a helmet and a breastplate.
Both of these are magic artifacts. Due to their special parts and solid materials, they can withstand a full-force attack from a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator without breaking.
Of course, if the magical artifact wasn't broken, it's hard to say whether the person inside was.
Chen Ren wasn't afraid of problems with other parts of his body; what he feared was being instantly killed before he could even use any cheat codes.
The helmet is similar to a motorcycle helmet, clearly still influenced by Earth's culture.
The breast protector consists of two parts, front and back, which are used to be hung on the shoulder for fixation.
He checked his sword-drawing stat: 3511/100.
He hadn't used it much since returning from Xiaoqing Kingdom, which was why he had accumulated so much power. Even if he encountered a Qi-refining opponent, he was confident he could kill them in a one-on-one fight.
Of course, Chen Ren is referring to those who have just entered or those on the second floor. If it's the supermodel type, forget about it, it's time to draw your sword.
"As the year draws to a close, the atmosphere along the way has definitely been off."
As Chen Ren descended the mountain, he encountered many disciples from Qingcheng Mountain Academy. He noticed that they all had solemn expressions, and none of them looked relaxed.
Even the new disciples who came a year before the end of the year were filled with anxiety under the influence of what they saw and heard.
"Where is that junior brother from down the mountain going?"
A flying sword, three meters wide and five meters long, slowly descended. Chen Ren was called to a halt. He looked up and saw a group of five Qi Condensation cultivators.
A quick glance at the tokens on their waists revealed that they were senior disciples from the Lao Jun Pavilion, and the one piloting the flying sword was a Qi Condensation Ninth Level cultivator.
"We've seen you walk down the mountain for quite a while. Would you like to come along? If it's on your way, we can give you a ride."
Their warm smiles made Chen Ren feel a little uncomfortable.
He was still used to his former fellow disciples being busy and arrogant, ignoring him completely.
"Junior brother, don't worry. We mean no harm. It's just that it's the end of the year, and we're helping each other out as part of the rules."
The leader, a ninth-level Qi Condensation cultivator named Bao Changrong, said in a gentle voice, "We hope you can also help your other fellow disciples as much as possible."
Chen Ren was still very touched, but he still did not agree.
"Thank you all for your kindness, but I have to wait for someone after I go down the mountain, so I won't be joining you all."
"That's a real shame."
Bao Changrong wasn't angry. He smiled gently and then floated back into the air with the man with the sword.
They moved faster and faster, and a few minutes later they completely disappeared from Chen Ren's sight.
This was like a signal, and immediately afterward, countless streams of light flew out from the 36 peaks of Qingcheng Mountain in all directions, some fast and some slow.
The streaks of light were varied, some exuding a chilling murderous aura, others as gentle and refined as jade. Chen Ren glanced at them several times.
I'm so damn envious!
He tightened his helmet and breastplate, then went down the mountain to find a car.
Where's the car?
Originally, there were cultivators of the second realm soliciting customers here, and he also wanted to ask Tao Yuniang to take him to Xiaoqing Kingdom.
But... today this place is completely empty, there's not a car in sight, not even a soul in sight.
"Damn, I should have agreed to that Senior Brother Bao's offer."
He was dumbfounded. Without a car, how was he going to get to Xiaoqing Kingdom?
The government vehicles are still running, but he's unregistered and can't ride them.
The arrow that was shot out because they couldn't bear to part with the money has finally been shot back.
"That damned aura of calamity, it's terrifyingly powerful!"
Chen Ren slapped his thigh and could only wave his hands on the ground, hoping that his senior brothers in the sky would notice him and give him a ride.
"Where did my junior brother go?!"
Fortunately, an hour later, a female cultivator descended from the sky, wearing light makeup, and a fragrant breeze wafted over even before she got close.
"Is Senior Sister going to Little Qing Kingdom?"
Chen Ren said with gratitude, "I was trying to find a car, but they were all gone."
"Everyone's gone to undergo tribulation, there's no car left."
Cui Yuying's lips unconsciously curved into a smile, as if she were seeing her past self.
"You're an unregistered resident, aren't you? Otherwise, you wouldn't be here."
"Your senior sister figured it out." Chen Ren chuckled. "Is it on your way, senior sister? If not, I'll wait a bit longer."
"I can take you to Yucheng, which is close to Xiaoqing Kingdom."
Cui Yuying gently waved her hand, and Chen Ren found himself being enveloped by a surge of spiritual energy and placed on a flying sword.
He carefully stood up, then squatted down and tested the sharpness of the flying sword's edge with his hand.
It's incredibly sharp!
If you accidentally cut yourself, you're guaranteed to bleed, which is really bad.
"Be careful, I haven't learned the Wind-Avoiding Spell yet."
Cui Yuying smiled slyly and bent down to grab the hilt of the flying sword.
"Huh?" Chen Ren was taken aback.
"Whoosh!"
The flying sword shot through the air, and he was blown up by the recoil, but before he could react, Cui Yuying grabbed his collar and pulled him back.
Chen Ren flew in the sky for two hours!
Two whole hours!
By the time he arrived in Yucheng, he had already thought through all the dreams he hadn't finished in his life, and his face had turned pale.
"Junior brother, you're so cute." Cui Yuying couldn't help but ruffle Chen Ren's hair, toss him into Yucheng, and then ran off in a flash.
"Holy crap, did I... get taken advantage of?"
[Ding: Sword Drawing Value +1]
He looked up at the sky, but could no longer see the other person.
Yucheng was different from before. Chen Ren found that there were troops everywhere on the streets. These were the armed forces of the ancient world, and the lowest level of cultivation was above the fifth level of Qi and Blood.
A chilling atmosphere spread, and after searching for a long time, he finally found a caravan willing to go to Xiaoqing Kingdom.
They were delivering supplies to the border guards of Xiaoqing Kingdom.
"Young brother, I think you're only at the Qi Condensation stage. Going to Xiaoqing Kingdom at this time is a bit dangerous."
Inside the car, a martial arts practitioner at the third level of the Acquired Realm was scrutinizing him, a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
"Didn't your parents tell you not to come to Yucheng recently?"
"I had no choice. I promised someone I would protect his relatives."
Chen Ren gave a wry smile: "Otherwise, I would never have come, even if you killed me."
"Is that so? Well, let me give you a heads-up: there's a zombie outbreak in Xiaoqing Kingdom right now."
A zombie outbreak?
Chen Ren felt a chill run down his spine: "What do you mean?"
"You're obviously out of the loop. Didn't that happen in Xiaoqing Kingdom before? It caused resentment to grow throughout the country, and with the influence of the God of Year, the corpses that died before were nourished and crawled out."
His voice was tinged with helplessness: "Maybe even the zombie race has been born. These things are bound to the rules, and there's no way to kill them all."
"Why don't you go back?"
Faced with his kindness, Chen Ren thought for a moment. Now that Sanfu Town was within the capital of Xiaoqing Kingdom, the human race would certainly not ignore it.
Let him go back? What will happen to the people of Sanfu Town then?
