New Territories Port, outskirts.
Far from the main road, there was a forest nearby, and even farmland was rarely seen.
"Big brother, are those Western Continent people really here?"
Zhang Guo was wearing a leather armor, and the machine gun at her waist was ready to fire at any time. Her right hand was nervously holding the hilt of the sword.
After a 'friendly' conversation, Wu Ming reluctantly agreed to complete this task for her in order to successfully pass the school assessment. In return, Zhang Guo was responsible for all the procedures of borrowing books for him.
In fact, Wu Ming casually helped the little girl out of consideration for fate.
Otherwise, with the knowledge of this rookie, he was afraid that he would be sent into the pit.
"Of course! Did you forget what we went to the crime scene for? "
Wu Ming smiled indifferently. "According to my dao technique, they are hiding in this area!"
"Amazing!"
Zhang Guo's eyes seemed to emit stars. "How did you do it?"
Then, she stuck out her cute little pink tongue. "Sorry, I didn't offend you, did I?"
"No, it's not a big deal. I just extracted a trace of their aura at the scene, and then followed the clues to come here..."
Wu Ming took out a crystal ball. "Everyone's aura is different, extremely different. For me, it's as obvious as a torch in the dark night..."
"Haha... Then this reward must be ours!"
Zhang Guo excitedly clenched her small fists, while Wu Ming was quite speechless. "This group of Western Continent thugs is very ruthless and powerful. Do you really want to catch them all in one fell swoop?"
"Although the reward of military merits and contribution is good, it depends on whether we have the life to spend it... We just need to confirm that the other party is really here, and then inform the Protectorate of the information, and then everything will be over."
"Really boring!"
Zhang Guo curled her small mouth, and her clever black eyes turned. No one knew what she was thinking.
Wu Ming, on the other hand, had guessed the young lady's thoughts. He secretly rolled his eyes and looked at the sky. The blazing sun hung high in the sky, creating many afterimages.
The sun of this world was different from that of other worlds. Not only was it larger, but the essence of the sun was also extremely violent. It even split into a large number of shadows, as if there were several suns standing side by side in the great void. It was extremely strange.
Wu Ming sensed an extremely terrifying power from these sun shadows.
"One of the Great Chang's eight Lords, Lord Ri?"
The Great Chang empire was at the pinnacle of the Divine Dao. There were eight Overgods. It was said that they were nomological embodiments and did not have a clear physical form.
The Sun Lord and the Moon Lord were widely believed to refer to the Extreme Yang and the Extreme Yin.
"Heaven and Earth, Yin and Yang, the Sun and Moon Soldiers … and the Four Seasons …"
If understood literally, this was extremely terrifying. Even the weakest soldier represented the God of War of conquest and slaughter, not to mention the existence of the Four Seasons, which was directly related to time.
"Can a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal become the sun of this world?"
Wu Ming looked at the blazing sun in the sky and could not help but feel perplexed.
If this were any other world, even Golden Immortals would be eternally indestructible, much less a Zenith Heaven. How difficult would it be for them to transform into a blazing sun?
However, this world was different!
The original Seer world was already the center of the entire universe, but here, it was only a tiny piece of the map.
Such a massive world might have exceeded his previous concept of the universe and dimension, but it was an existence that was even higher.
In such a world, Golden Immortals were completely unqualified to become the sun.
Even a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal was doubtful to Wu Ming.
"Alright, let's get to work!"
Wu Ming took out a crystal ball. Inside it was a floating white thread. It seemed to have a life of its own as it swam within the crystal ball. At that moment, it suddenly pointed to a certain spot.
It was a black valley surrounded by lush greenery that almost covered the entrance.
"Found it!"
Zhang Guo cheered and ran over without any hesitation.
"Wait a minute!"
Wu Ming was speechless as he watched Zhang Guo cross the entrance of the valley. Immediately, a certain reaction was triggered, and immediately, a few swaying 'figures' wandered out.
"Ah!"
The little girl screamed because these figures finally revealed their true appearance — pale, haggard, and their bodies had even begun to rot in many places, revealing their white bones, with a foul smell.
"What kind of monsters and zombies are these? Giggle … Giggle … "
Zhang Guo grabbed the long sword, but unconsciously began to tremble, and her teeth chattered.
"They are just the most common resurrected corpses! The materials used should be from nearby farmers, and even the souls are randomly stuffed with a few beasts. With a little corpse poison, they can only deal with ordinary people at most, and also play a role as a warning … "
Wu Ming looked like he was watching a good show with folded arms. "If you wake them up now, the Necromancer behind them will definitely notice it!"
"Necromancer?"
Zhang Guo screamed, "Isn't this a taboo profession in the West? There is actually a Necromancer among the Xiyi people who attacked this time. If he casts a plague, the entire Xin Jie Port will be finished … "
"What you have to think about now is not Xin Jie Port, but yourself!"
Wu Ming reminded, "Deal with these resurrected corpses yourself!"
He didn't have the intention to be a nanny all the time. It was good to train this little girl's courage and experience. If she still couldn't do it in the end, then she would obediently drop out of school!
A guy who couldn't even deal with a few walking corpses wanted to be an adventurer? Fight for a place in the world of cultivation? Dream on!
"Hehe …"
The resurrected corpses didn't care about Zhang Guo's screams. With a 'hehe' sound, they opened their arms and pounced over. Their green nails were obviously stained with an extremely powerful poison.
And there were a few pieces of linen clothes hanging on their bodies, as well as the unique attire of the Great Chang Empire, all of which indicated their identity.
"Ha! Kill! "
Zhang Guo looked at Wu Ming pleadingly. After several fruitless attempts, she seemed to have finally resigned to her fate. After dodging the attack, she stabbed out with her sword.
Shoo!
A cold beam flashed as the tip of the sword accurately pierced into the throat of a resurrected corpse. It was deep, fast, and accurate. Clearly, her hard work and hard training were not for show.
"Roar!"
Unfortunately, the resurrected corpses weren't ordinary people. Even though their throats had been slit, they didn't stop moving and continued pouncing at Zhang Guo.
"I forgot to tell you, this Resurrected Corpse doesn't have any vital points. Unless its head is smashed or its body is torn into pieces, even if its heart is dug out, it will still be able to move for a long time …"
Wu Ming reminded her with a gloating tone.
For some reason, the zombies were howling. They ignored Wu Ming in front of them and chased after Zhang Guo with all their might.
"Why didn't you say so earlier …"
Zhang Guo shouted angrily. Unfortunately, she didn't have much of a foundation. The moment she opened her mouth, her speed slowed down and she was pushed to the ground by a zombie.
Bang!
In the midst of the chaos, she let go of her sword and finally remembered that she still had a weapon with her. She took out her Repeating Shot Gun and fired at the zombie's head.
After a loud sound, a lot of white and red blood splattered all over Zhang Guo's body and face.
She screamed and her expression changed drastically. Suddenly, she lay on the side and retched.
"Really, you can die if you're distracted at this time!"
It wasn't until Zhang Guo was about to vomit out her bile that she realised the surrounding zombies had all stopped moving, just like statues.
"Group Humanoid Body Fixing Spell … How about it? Not bad, right? "
Wu Ming blinked his eyes and smiled playfully. "Anti-soul corpses are the most common cannon fodder for necromancers. How about it? Do you still want to go deeper? "
"Of course, as long as you're here, sir."
Zhang Guo took a long time to calm the nausea in her heart and answered with a pale face.
After this experience, she finally understood that without the help of her brother and the others, she was nothing at all. A cannon fodder could almost take her life!
"Now … it's troublesome … because the other party has discovered us. Even if we leave immediately, they will quickly move, and they might even split up and break up … It'll be a long time before we can complete the mission!"
Wu Ming walked forward without hesitation. "Therefore, we only have one choice, and that is to take them down now!"
…
In the valley.
"Haggis, what's wrong?"
In a cave, the ground was covered with straw mats, forming a simple camp.
Many blonde and blue-eyed westerners gathered together, all of them full of ferocity. They were the culprits who had previously caused trouble at the port.
At this moment, a person who looked like the leader asked a black-robed wizard sitting on the ground.
This wizard was wrapped in a black robe and exuded an unapproachable aura. There was also a stench. Even though the space in the cave was tight, there was no one sitting on the straw mats nearby.
"The Resurrected Corpse that I arranged has been killed …"
Haggis' voice was quite calm. "It should be an adventurer who discovered this place and is trying to enter …"
"Has it been discovered?"
The leader was not surprised at this point. "Prepare to break out immediately and move in batches!"
"Wait! My little darlings have already sent back the latest news. "
Haggis smiled. "There don't seem to be many people coming, only one or two … and no Master-level people are among them."
"Are they here to die?"
The leader immediately laughed sinisterly. "Gods, there are actually such stupid scouts?"
He was well aware of how big a mistake his group had made. As long as he informed the protectorate, there might be an army coming to encircle and annihilate them.
This situation did not seem like a planned annihilation, but more like an accident. "A few adventurers who simply want to earn a commission? Mercenaries? "
The leader sneered and licked his lips. "Really … I haven't seen such rookies in a long time. Which one of you will go and get rid of them? "
"I'll go!"
Haggis stood up. "After all, they destroyed a few of my Resurrected Corpses. I'll use their bodies as replacements …"
