Although Qing Yueqiu had been suffering from not being able to bathe or see the light for more than ten days, she still asked hesitantly, "Are you sure?"
"Of course. After I get out, I'll try to attract the monsters' attention and escape to the opposite cave. You guys wait for ten minutes before you get out of here and go back the way you came," Zuo Zhicheng said as he tidied up his clothes and checked his equipment.
While he was talking, he noticed that Qing Yueqiu, Tang Xianghui, and Tangyuan's bodies, especially the yellow light behind their heads, began to change from yellow to green.
Seeing this, Zuo Zhicheng had some guesses in his mind, but he was not sure yet.
"I know," Qing Yueqiu nodded, "We'll get out of here. You must come out too." She looked at Zuo Zhicheng seriously.
"Don't worry," Zuo Zhicheng said calmly, "I won't do anything that I'm not confident in." After that, Zuo Zhicheng used the same method as before to help them light up a few torches for their illumination.
After doing all this, he took a step forward and dived into the tree hole like a fish, arriving at the underground space. With his night vision mode, more than ten faint red lights appeared in front of him.
Zuo Zhicheng's body moved, and his whole body disappeared into the darkness. Like a devil in the night, Zuo Zhicheng silently snuck under the red lights. Through his night vision mode, he saw that the red lights emitting from their heads were the zombies.
"Red represents hostility?" Zuo Zhicheng smiled with satisfaction, "That's easy to understand."
The next moment, he pounced forward like a fierce tiger. The wind from his fist surged, and a series of sounds of bones breaking were heard. More than ten monsters fell to the ground, dead or injured.
Zuo Zhicheng deliberately left a few of them to escape. He had already rushed to another place with red lights. Although these monsters were cold-blooded and could not be detected with infrared vision, Zuo Zhicheng's new left eye could clearly see their hostility.
This kind of hostility was determined by the electromagnetic waves emitted by the creatures. Naturally, there was a special mechanism that Zuo Zhicheng could not understand at the moment, but it did not affect his ability to use it.
After the third evolution of the Innate Qi, his strength had increased by another level. Now, these dozens of zombies could no longer pose a threat to him. Wherever he went, none of the zombies could withstand a single blow from him. It was as if he was dealing with toys.
One by one, the zombies had their heads twisted off, their necks kicked, punched through their chests, or directly chopped in half.
Although Zuo Zhicheng's modified dagger was blunt, he had obtained a modern super-alloy dagger from the silo. At this time, in his hands, it was a godly weapon. Cutting through the zombies was like cutting tofu.
However, Zuo Zhicheng did not know how the zombies communicated with each other. Their reactions were also very fast. After Zuo Zhicheng killed more than 20 zombies, all sorts of roars came from the surrounding caves and tunnels.
Their backup had arrived.
After Zuo Zhicheng killed more than ten zombies, more and more zombies began to rush out of the cave. At this time, Zuo Zhicheng did not hide. He stood in a large open space, and the zombies could easily find him.
Therefore, Zuo Zhicheng began to escape towards the tunnel that he had planned in advance. In the meantime, more and more zombies were running out of the cave.
Zuo Zhicheng was like a piece of candy, followed by a dense swarm of ants. An endless stream of zombies crawled out of the cave and chased in Zuo Zhicheng's direction.
In the underground palace, Qing Yueqiu and the others listened to the roars coming from the ground. Their faces turned pale. The number of zombies was enough to make one's scalp tingle. When they thought of Gui Quan facing these monsters alone, they could not help but be in awe and fear.
"There are so many of them …" Cold sweat dripped down Tangyuan's forehead, "I'm afraid they'll eat us all in one go."
"Can Gui Quan really hold on?" Tang Xianghui also expressed her doubts.
"We can only trust him. Otherwise, we'll be trapped here forever. Once the big snake's hibernation ends, we might never be able to get out." As Qing Yueqiu spoke, she recalled what Zuo Zhicheng had said to her when he walked past her.
'Don't kill Old Song?' Qing Yueqiu was not surprised that Tang Xianghui could tell that she wanted to kill Old Song. After all, Old Song was just an ordinary person who had discovered an important secret. It was natural for people like him to be killed.
However, since Gui Quan asked her not to kill him, she would naturally agree. What made her curious was the identity of Old Song and Gui Quan. They actually wanted to save Old Song's life.
'After I go back, I can think of a way to investigate with this clue.'
After more than ten minutes, the roars outside had completely disappeared. Tangyuan poked his head out and looked at the underground space cautiously.
"They seem to have chased us out."
"Let's go!"
…
On the other side, Zuo Zhicheng had stopped in a tunnel. He was surrounded by hundreds of zombies in front and behind him. In his left eye, the red glow that represented hostility was squeezed together. It was so dense that it almost blocked Zuo Zhicheng's vision.
However, facing Zuo Zhicheng in front of them, these zombies did not rush forward. This was because Zuo Zhicheng's body was emitting a terrifying murderous aura that could freeze a normal person's limbs.
As Zuo Zhicheng removed his mask, the cloth pads in his coat, and the insoles in his shoes, the murderous aura on his body grew stronger.
The third evolution of the Innate Qi had not only made his body stronger, it had also given his brain a stronger source of power and more nutrients. The electromagnetic waves that he emitted had become more complex and powerful, and his Spirit Enhancement Technique had also become more powerful.
Although there had been no progress in his Qi Cultivation Technique, Zuo Zhicheng had realized that his Spirit Enhancement Technique had improved even faster ever since he had stepped into the second level of Spirit Enhancement Technique, the Dao of Human Appearance, through the fusion of his murderous aura.
The murderous aura was like an instinct to him. It was extremely compatible with the power of his mind. There was almost no need to think too much. After decades of killing, the murderous aura had long become a part of his body.
In the previous battle with the zombies, he had realized that.
'The more things I kill, the stronger the murderous aura.
'It seems that I'm getting closer to the Human Appearance Realm.'
This was the path of Spirit Enhancement that belonged to Zuo Zhicheng.
Happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy were all part of the power of the mind. On top of that, there was hatred, murderous intent, injustice, remorse, guilt, and other complicated emotions. These were all part of the power of the mind that was sublimated from the foundation of happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy.
The same went for the murderous aura. When Zuo Zhicheng tried to control and cultivate his murderous aura according to the Qi Cultivation Technique, this state of calmness in the midst of a violent rage was extremely suitable for him. He no longer used this kind of aura instinctively. Instead, he controlled this kind of violent power of the mind as if he was controlling his emotions.
Legend had it that a warrior who had killed countless people could frighten an ordinary person to death with just one look. A swordsman who had experienced countless battles could use his murderous aura to kill someone before he even landed his sword.
This was the will, the will, and the power of the mind. When Zuo Zhicheng matched his murderous aura with the Qi Cultivation Technique, he realized that the two were very compatible. They both had cold and quiet attributes. Therefore, he found the opportunity to break through to the Human Appearance Realm.
Hundreds of people? Thousands of people? That was just the appetizer.
In this world, technology was far less advanced than it was in his previous life. Human lives were not so fragile on the battlefield. Therefore, no one had been able to take so many lives like he had.
When killing became an instinct, when death followed closely at his feet, and when silence became the final melody, an unprecedented power of the mind appeared in front of Zuo Zhicheng.
The murderous aura in the air slowly retracted back into his body. The zombies around him became more and more restless, approaching him step by step. Zuo Zhicheng slowly squatted down, the corners of his mouth curling into a sinister smile.
"Hehehehehe …"
A low chuckle came out of his mouth. In the next moment, the zombies around him had already pounced on him from all directions.
