Ghost Catching System-Chapter 705 - 704 Corpse Monkey_1

In terms of strength and speed, the power of Red-haired Zombies was even more terrifying than that of Inborn Experts.

As the claws of the Red-haired Zombie swiped, Zhang Chenfeng's Goldstone Sword emitted sparks.

CLANG—Sparks flew in all directions, like metal colliding. He felt as if he had been struck by a large rock and retreated several steps.

Such immense strength, Zhang Chenfeng's expression turned grim.

When it came to skill, Zhang Chenfeng was better than Wang Junshu; after all, he was a disciple of Longhu Mountain and had been practicing martial arts since childhood.

This was also a source of Zhang Chenfeng's pride. He believed that dealing with the Red-haired Zombie was very difficult, and it would be the same for others.

All of a sudden, he wanted to see if Chu Hao was struggling. After all, Chu Hao's methods made him wary. In terms of martial arts, he surely wouldn't make the cut.

When he turned his head to look, he saw Chu Hao's punch directly burst the Red-haired Zombie's head open.

"Ding… Host has killed a Red-haired Zombie, obtaining 500,000 Experience Points."

"Ding… Killing the Red-haired Zombie has resulted in a Golden Treasure Chest drop, which has been added to the inventory."

Chu Hao shook his hand nonchalantly and said, "The Red-haired Zombie was incredibly weak."

"Ding… Host has successfully shown off, obtaining 3,000 Pretentiousness Points."

What the hell! One punch and its head exploded. Does he have to be so damn fierce? Zhang Chenfeng felt a pang of frustration. What kind of monster is Chu Hao? I've trained in martial arts since childhood; has it all gone to waste?

The others, upon seeing Chu Hao blow up the Red-haired Zombie with a single punch, were also shocked.

They were puzzled, wondering about this guy's true strength.

Zheng Gong whispered, "Don't provoke him; stick to the plan."

Zheng Gong's wife beside him nodded.

Chu Hao saw the others dealing with Red-haired Zombies. Without a word, he charged forward, intent on snatching the Experience Points. "Let me help you," he declared.

After saying that, he rushed in front of Lan Zhen and directly burst the head of a Red-haired Zombie.

"Ding… Killed a Red-haired Zombie, obtaining 500,000 Experience Points."

In the darkness, Lan Zhen felt surprised and said softly, "Thank you."

Chu Hao waved his hand and said, "If you really want to thank me, draw some more Red-haired Zombies over to me."

"Ah!" Lan Zhen exclaimed, somewhat baffled by his request.

Zhang Chenfeng felt a deep sense of indignation. Chu Hao was actually hitting on *his* girl! With a look of defiance, he bit the tip of his tongue and spat blood onto his Goldstone Sword. It flared with a fiery glow as he thrust it through a Red-haired Zombie, as if to silently warn Chu Hao, I'm just as capable!

However, the Red-haired Zombie was still moving, reaching out to grab Zhang Chenfeng. The unlucky guy got clawed, disfiguring his face.

"AAAAH!" This rotten day! Zhang Chenfeng screamed; he was on the verge of going crazy.

Wang Junshu couldn't stand it anymore and said, "I'll help you."

Zhang Chenfeng roared back, "No need, I'll do it myself!"

The kid had been driven to madness.

The Red-haired Zombies were dealt with one by one: the Chang Gong Couple took out one, three were handled by Chu Hao, and Zhang Chenfeng took down one all by himself.

The group remained on guard. The Red-haired Zombies were finished, but they didn't know where the Golden-Wood Drought Demon was.

Lan Zhen found Old Dog Zhang trembling with fear and asked, "Are these the Drought Fiends you mentioned?"

Old Dog Zhang took a deep breath and nodded.

The group finally understood. It turned out Old Dog Zhang had been captured by these ordinary zombies. If the Golden-Wood Drought Demon had caught him, he wouldn't have survived this long. So, it seemed what Old Dog Zhang had seen wasn't the Golden-Wood Drought Demon, but just ordinary zombies. However, the appearance of zombies here also meant the Golden-Wood Drought Demon was likely nearby; they had clearly intruded into its territory.

As they cleaned up the aftermath, three people on their side had died—all disciples brought by Lan Zhen. Her expression was far from pleasant.

Three other disciples had already started to shiver with fear.

The female half of the Chang Gong Couple, Xu Chang, said, "I'll try to find the Golden-Wood Drought Demon."

With that, she took out a compass and found an open space to start casting her spell.

Lan Zhen glanced over and murmured, "Yin Yang Corpse Seeking Technique."

This was precisely why she had sought out the Chang Gong Couple, Lan Zhen mused. Xu Chang carefully laid out a Four Symbols Formation around her, drew a Bagua circle, and then sat in the center, which magnified the power of her compass.

Xu Chang muttered the incantation, and the compass began to spin. Suddenly, the needle pointed directly at Old Dog Zhang's position.

"How is that possible!" Everyone, upon seeing this, turned to look at Old Dog Zhang.

Old Dog Zhang was also confused. "What's going on?"

Suddenly, the needle moved again, this time pointing in another direction. Xu Chang frowned and said, "There was a mistake just now; the Golden-Wood Drought Demon is in this direction."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. When the needle pointed at Old Dog Zhang, they had briefly thought he was the Drought Fiend, though that wasn't really possible since he was clearly human.

In the depths of the night, the group did not rest but continued to move forward.

They remained vigilant on their journey, easily handling the occasional zombie that popped out.

Wang Junshu frowned and said, "The Golden-Wood Drought Demon... just how many people has it transformed?"

A chilling thought occurred to them: Living people were being transformed... If it were them, would they also be turned into zombies?

Xu Chang led the way. After about three hours, as the sky began to brighten, the terrain ahead changed. They faced a mountain range with towering twin peaks, forming a sort of double-backed ridge. A long path ran between them, leading into mysterious depths.

Old Dog Zhang pointed to the mountain ahead. "This is Riyue Mountain. It has an Earth Veins river that sustains many wild animals like tigers, black bears, and boar kings; ordinary hunters don't dare to come here."

The group headed towards Riyue Mountain, through lush underbrush and humid air swarming with insects.

Hanging from the canopy of the dense forest ahead were white objects resembling cicada pupae wrapped in white silk, which made everyone curious.

Lan Zhen asked, "What are those!"

Old Dog Zhang replied, "I haven't been here in a long time either. I've never seen these."

Saying so, Old Dog Zhang found a stick and struck one of the white objects. With a "CRACK," the silk split open, and something fell out.

Their gazes turned to find a hairy little creature, soaked all over as if it had just emerged from its mother's belly.

"A child!" someone exclaimed.

Xu Chang's face darkened as she said, "That's not a child; it's a Monkey."

Upon closer inspection, it indeed resembled a Monkey, about the size of an average infant.

The Monkey climbed to its feet, its eyes blood-red, and it howled upwards as if conveying some message.

Suddenly, from the branches in the dense bushes ahead, more white silken pupae broke open one after another, releasing a large number of Monkeys.

With crimson eyes, sharp fangs, and mouths slit wide, they pounced towards the group.

Xu Chang's expression changed. She warned, "Be careful! These aren't Monkeys; they're Corpse Monkeys!"

Corpse Monkeys? Why were there Corpse Monkeys here? Who could be raising them?

The Corpse Monkeys were too numerous, swarming in. Zi Jing said, "Big brother, do you need my Treasure Gourd to take action?"

Chu Hao shook his head. "No need."

As a Corpse Monkey pounced, Chu Hao kicked it, sending it flying; the creature exploded. They were fast but frail.

"Ding… Killed a Corpse Monkey, obtaining 1,000 Experience Points."
