Chapter 244: Chapter 126: Pursuit, Tension, Trouble Redirected (Part 3)

Fortunately, its target has always been Zhao Shanhe. As long as others weren’t in its path of advance, they were almost all safe.

Some people, seeing this, simply didn’t bother to flee; they waited until the zombie passed by, then quickly ran in the opposite direction.

They were quite smart, knowing that if the zombie dealt with Zhao Shanhe, it might not necessarily let them go, so naturally, they hid as far away as possible.

Even Shen Xinyue, without making a sound, quietly changed direction, unconsciously falling behind the zombie.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, for the sake of us being neighbors, save my life, and I’ll split this treasure with you."

Zhao Shanhe shouted, sensing the zombie getting closer again, and hurriedly threw out a donkey hoof.

"Roar!"

The zombie roared, but the donkey hoof was a secret treasure crafted by the Tomb Raider Captain, greatly suppressing zombies. Even though this zombie was about to break through to the Copper Armor Corpse level, it was still affected by the hoof.

"Save you? With what?

Get lost, or don’t blame me for being rude."

Zhou Changwang’s face was cold, feeling the zombie rapidly approaching again, he couldn’t help but feel a bit apprehensive.

Though he considered himself somewhat capable, he still kept a respectful distance from such creatures, unwilling to act rashly.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, let me go."

Qian Xiaoyue suddenly spoke up.

Zhou Changwang glanced at her without speaking or releasing her.

Although the zombie’s target was Zhao Shanhe and it hadn’t yet acted against other cultivators, it was too close. He feared that if he let go, the zombie might accidentally attack Qian Xiaoyue, and she wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, do you know what I obtained from the tomb this time?

A Third-Grade Spirit Plant, Earth Yin Lingzhi.

It’s one of the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects.

If you’re willing to help me, half of this Earth Yin Lingzhi is yours."

Zhao Shanhe spoke in a lowered voice, though his speed didn’t slow.

Upon hearing about the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object, Qian Xiaoyue’s eyes widened, but she knew how terrifying the zombie was, so she quickly looked at Zhou Changwang with a face full of tension.

"You’re overestimating me; I’m powerless.

Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects are good, but they’re not mine and will never be mine."

Zhou Changwang remained unmoved.

Risking his life against a Copper Armor Corpse for a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object?

Is he crazy?

No matter how good such a treasure is, you still need your life to enjoy it.

"I know it’s difficult, but if you could get them to help, perhaps there’s a chance we could deal with this ’Fake Copper Corpse’..."

"Fake Copper Corpse?"

Zhou Changwang was stunned.

"It’s actually just an Iron Armor Corpse, a High-Tier First Grade level. It’s the top of the High-Tier First Grade, equivalent to above Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation, like the legend of those who failed to establish a foundation but continued cultivating to the Tenth or Eleventh Layer of Qi Cultivation.

It’s far weaker than a true Copper Armor Corpse comparable to Foundation Establishment level.

If you could join forces with other Qi Refining Seventh Level and above cultivators,

we’d have a great chance to slay it."

Despite his urgency, Zhao Shanhe quickly explained.

"I see.

But, Fellow Daoist Zhao, do you think a small Fourth Layer Qi Cultivator like me can command those late-stage Qi Cultivation powerhouses?"

Zhou Changwang spoke with helplessness.

And while he spoke, he deliberately changed direction, trying to lose them.

However, Zhao Shanhe clung to him like glue; wherever Zhou Changwang ran, he ran with him, resulting in the zombie continually trailing behind, unable to shake it off.

If he didn’t occasionally throw out a donkey hoof to hinder it, they would have long been caught.

"I know Fellow Daoist Zhou isn’t weak; even the Insect King Xue Tong isn’t your match. I guess your strength is not weaker than late-stage Qi Cultivation practitioners.

Save my life, and the entire Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object is yours."

Zhao Shanhe spoke rapidly, throwing another hoof, his voice suddenly distorted, "I’m begging you. I’m running out of donkey hooves, only two left."

Two donkey hooves could at best delay the zombie for ten breaths.

Ten breaths were simply not enough.

"I cannot save you! If you keep following, don’t blame me for not being polite!"

Zhou Changwang was also in a hurry, with Perfection Level Light Body Skill plus Seven Stars Stepping on the Moon, occasionally using the Flying Body Technique, his speed was exceptionally high, surpassing even Qi Refining Seventh Level cultivators.

However, carrying Qian Xiaoyue greatly affected his speed, reducing it by at least thirty percent, allowing Zhao Shanhe to be slightly faster than him.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, we’re neighbors after all... can you really watch me being chased by a zombie without saving me?"

Hearing this, Zhao Shanhe’s face changed, pleading.

In response, a Geng Metal Finger shot out.

Of course, it didn’t land directly on him but fell a foot in front of him.

This was a warning, and if he continued to pester him, he believed Zhou Changwang’s attack would definitely land on him.

Seeing this, he was completely panicked.

By pulling in Zhou Changwang, he had a sliver of hope to survive, knowing that Zhou Changwang was very strong. But if he was by himself...

A trace of malice flashed in his eyes, and he angrily said, "Since you’re heartless, don’t blame me for being unjust."

Then, with a flip of his hand, he directly threw out five nails.
