Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest.

Chapter 142 I was obviously the one who came first

After everyone passed through the narrow mountain path, the secret realm strategy finally entered its final stage.

Although the Iron Corpses move very fast, they cannot really fly, and they can only pass through this mountain road one by one.

Then they lined up and were beaten down the mountain by Yan Yu with the Huangting Sword.

Seeing his nonchalant and leisurely demeanor, the people behind him suddenly had a subtle illusion, as if these iron corpses were not powerful and invulnerable enemies, but walking bowling pins.

Only the girls of Zhenhai Team remembered what Yan Yu had said before:

No matter how the secret realm is designed, it is ultimately dead, and there is always a way to deal with it...

"Done." After refining the core of the secret realm, Liu Longtao said, "I'll take everyone out."

"Sister Zhao, please take the hairpin back." Yan Yu nodded.

Zhao Yuanzhen waved her hand, and the bone heart-locking hairpin that she had refined flew back to her from a distance - at the same time, the bronze corpse that had escaped again also roared miserably in the distance.

But the other party had no chance to take revenge, because as Liu Longtao activated the center of the secret realm, everyone was teleported out of the secret realm and back to the Tianchi Lake.

A closer look revealed something truly remarkable! The hastily constructed makeshift camp surrounding the secret realm's entrance had been transformed into a permanent military base, now surrounded by thick tactical walls.

The base is equipped with machine gun towers and sniper sentry posts on the outer walls, and there are drones patrolling back and forth in the air, constantly monitoring the situation around the base - it can be seen that the secret realm within the country was raided by Korean monks, which indeed made the court quite angry.

Fully armed soldiers came over quickly, and after confirming the identities of Liu Longtao and others, they escorted the medical team carrying the secret realm core away first.

"Are you still planning to go to the hot springs?" Ye Jun said with a smile, "Just in case, we booked that hotel for a week."

The girls exchanged glances quickly, and only heard Chen Lingyun ask with a smile:

"Since we've already ordered it, it's really not a good idea to waste it, right? What do you think, Yanyu?"

"Go ahead." Yan Yu said helplessly.

After all, they were only halfway through their hot springs soak when they were unexpectedly dragged to the military camp to prepare for war. Now that the matter was settled, if they still found a reason to prevent them from having fun, they would probably bear a grudge for the rest of their lives.

Yan Yu was very clear in his two lives: men mostly want results, and the process is actually not important; but women are just the opposite. Even if the result is good, as long as the process makes them unhappy... then you just wait and see!

"Okay, I'll contact the hotel." Ye Jun took out his cell phone again.

--------

After returning to the town, the girls planned to stroll around and buy some snacks to calm down their emotions caused by being scared by the zombies, so Yan Yu went back to the hotel alone.

The hot spring pool here is public, so you need to wear a swimsuit to enter. However, Ye Jun is really good at treating people. He directly booked the entire second floor of the hotel, so apart from the Zhenhai team, no other guests came.

Yan Yu lay comfortably in the pool and began to sort out his thoughts.

Since no news has been heard about the secret realm of Changbai Mountain in the previous life, it must have been tightly sealed off by the order of the State of Lu.

Although zombies have combat advantages, the Lu Kingdom still strictly prohibits the existence of corpse cultivation. The reason for this was once a matter of debate in previous lives, especially when compared with the treatment of ghost monks who control ghosts, which inevitably makes people feel that it is very hypocritical.

But Yan Yu could guess why. After all, many ghosts didn't look like humans, and playing with corpses was considered "against moral order and good customs." So, in order to avoid affecting the public's overall perception of cultivators, they simply took a one-size-fits-all approach from a governance perspective.

Of course, this is only the case in Lu State.

For example, in Southeast Asia, where witchcraft is prevalent, there's no taboo against corpse cultivation. Within their transcendental system, the "Yin Mage" class refers to evil sorcerers who specialize in dark arts like "soul binding" and "corpse refining." Similarly, within Siberia's psychic system, there's also the "Necromancer" class, which specializes in controlling zombies, ghosts, and other undead spirits.

There are some things that you think are too evil and ban, but you can't stop your enemies from learning them, and after learning them, they will use them to attack you... There's nothing you can do about it.

Yan Yu lazily lay on the edge of the bathtub, feeling the heat of the hot spring water spreading to every part of his body, and suddenly he felt vaguely sleepy.

The secret realm of Changbai Mountain was sealed, so the harvest inside naturally could not be distributed, so the two teams gained nothing from this trip.

But this is not the case for Yan Yu.

The Lu Kingdom strictly prohibits corpse cultivation, resulting in a general lack of experience among domestic cultivators in dealing with them. Waiting for the extraordinary corpse cultivators abroad to mature, and then going to the battlefield to deal with the zombies they control—the mere thought of it is extremely horrific. Some things cannot be memorized through oral or written communication. If the girls can gain a general understanding of how to deal with this enemy after personally fighting zombies, then this trip will not be in vain...

Yan Yu slowly closed his eyes, and suddenly heard a faint voice coming from a distance:
"Yeah, it's disgusting..."

"But why is Sister Zhao so powerful? We can't even defeat it."

"Hahahaha, of course it's because I'm strong!"

"Sister Zhao, isn't it the same as not saying anything?"

"He must have learned it from the captain again."

The outer door was pushed open, and the girls in swimsuits walked in. Because of the steam rising from the room, no one noticed Yan Yu in the pool, and they just chatted and laughed.

Yan Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at them. Although according to the common writing style in light novels, he should quickly hold his breath and hide under the water, pretending that he was not there - but think about it carefully, why would I do this?

I was the one who came here first, okay? You guys are the ones who should be backing off!

The girls were all relatively thin, so Yan Yu didn't look around much, just looking at the shape and color of the swimsuits.

Chen Lingyun wore a light blue dress-style swimsuit, which was sleeveless and strapless, revealing her beautiful shoulders and collarbones. The hem was a wavy lotus leaf skirt, which on the one hand further highlighted her sweet and delicate temperament, and on the other hand cleverly concealed her figure problems.

Her hair was tied up behind her head and fixed with a clip, wrapped tightly in a transparent shower cap, as if she was worried that it would be dirty by the hot spring water later.

Su Yunjin walked beside her, also wearing a dress-style swimsuit, but the color was a simple light green, and there was no deliberate ruffled hem, which made it look fresh and clean.

She was holding a plastic bag in her hand, which seemed to contain some bottles and jars. Yan Yu suddenly remembered Chen Lingyun in her previous life. No matter what hotel she stayed in, she never used the toiletries provided by the hotel. She brought her own because "she was not used to the unknown brands."

Well, but the shower room is outside, so the bag probably doesn’t contain her shampoo and shower gel.

Lin Ning was at the front, her swimsuit a pure white two-piece, devoid of any detail. Her curves were better than those of Chen Lingyun and Su Yunjin, likely due to her regular exercise. Muscles were visible in her arms and calves, but not noticeable, not affecting her overall softness and slenderness.

As for Zhao Yuanzhen, who walked at the back, her figure had actually leaped a significant realm, no longer competing with her companions in the A- and B-rank categories. The demonic woman had committed numerous evil deeds in her past life, and her capital was undoubtedly immense, but she was tightly wrapped in a swimsuit—a sign that she hadn't yet fully assimilated into modern society, and her aesthetics still held the reserved and conservative aesthetics typical of ancient women.

Lin Ning was the first to rush to the pool, stretched out her foot to test the water, and shouted:

"Oh, it's hot! Much hotter than last time!"

"Of course you'll feel the water is hot when you step barefoot on the cold tiles," Su Yunjin laughed from behind.

"That seems to be the case." Lin Ning sat down on the poolside tiles and dipped her legs into the water. As her body gradually adjusted to the water temperature, the discomfort seemed to subside.

Yan Yu looked at her lazily and found that Lin Ning's eyes were not even looking to the side - she was just paddling slowly with her legs.

Su Yunjin put the plastic bag in his hand on the bench next to him and asked everyone:
"Would you like anything to drink?"

The indoor hot spring room was quite stuffy and it was easy to get thirsty if you stayed there for a long time, so she got some drinks from the hotel lobby in advance.

Chen Lingyun: "Green tea."

Lin Ning: "I want Coke!"

Zhao Yuanzhen: "Assam milk tea."

Yan Yu: "Give me a bottle of mineral water."

Girls:?

Almost in an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Yan Yu.

Then their expressions changed drastically.
