Guixu Immortal Kingdom

Chapter 86 Zombies
"What the heck, Tengteng Town? Why does this name sound familiar?"

Qi Lin was enjoying the tobacco when he heard the name and subconsciously replied that he was very familiar with it.

"Tengteng Town, I remember now, isn't that a place name from the movie Mr. Vampire? I recall that this place is quite famous, apparently because it's haunted by zombies."

Su Yue suddenly replied.

"Yueyue, weren't you the female CEO who ran a company on Earth? How come you're watching such old zombie movies?"

Hu Youni stared at her with a look of surprise. Generally speaking, as a CEO, one is always thinking about important work matters, handling interpersonal relationships, and so on. Where would one find time to go to the movies? Especially such an old movie.

Of course, classic zombie movies are truly classics; only those made around that time are watchable. The later ones can only be considered fraudulent.

You can tell just by looking at the title; the content is just plain awful.

"What's wrong with the president? The president also has personal hobbies and private space. Watching some good movies shouldn't be a big deal. Besides, zombie movies are the classics from the past. We can't watch the newer ones. I just watched one when I had some free time. When I saw this name, I immediately remembered it."

Su Yue smiled slightly and then said.

So what if she's a CEO? She's human too, and she has her own hobbies. Her favorite type of movie is horror.

Those kinds of films give her a different kind of excitement, making her feel like she's just like any other person.

"Tengteng Town, I remember. If it really is the Tengteng Town from the zombie movies, there won't be any living people here, only zombies. According to the setting, Tengteng Town originally had a population of twenty or thirty thousand. But one day, a group of tomb raiders accidentally released the corpse energy from the tomb while they were going down into it, causing the entire Tengteng Town to be infected and turned into zombies. The town was littered with corpses, a truly horrific sight. There were very few survivors. It became a dead town, full of zombies."

"It is said that there is a zombie king among the zombies."

Qi Lin narrowed his eyes, looking at the ancient town in front of him. He could clearly feel a chilling aura, so strong that it almost rushed towards him. He was almost certain that this town was really abnormal, and most likely it was an ancient town captured from the zombie world.

It is clear that Tengteng Town is dead.

"With a population of over 30,000, if all, no, only most, were to be transformed into zombies, this town would become a complete dead zone. The corpse energy would annihilate all life here, and it shouldn't be a big problem to nurture a zombie king. The zombie king must possess extremely special and powerful abilities."

Ji Tianhao took a deep breath, also feeling a slight headache.

If there are only one or two zombies in the ancient town, it's not a big deal. But there could be tens of thousands of zombies inside. If they are disturbed, the consequences will be immeasurable. Most importantly, we can't determine the exact strength of the zombie king inside. What if it's not just at the Iron level, but exceeds the Bronze level, or even higher? Wouldn't that be the end of us?

Zombies are no ordinary race.

These are terrifying beings who feed entirely on death energy, resentment, and blood.

They would previously be dormant, but once inside the Ruins, they would be subject to the Ruins' ironclad laws and would inevitably feel hunger. Once hungry, they would awaken and search for blood, as they were bloodsuckers. Without blood, these zombies would truly go berserk, and the destructive power they caused would be unimaginably terrifying.

"According to the settings in zombie movies, the zombie king must be very powerful. It can't be one of those unyielding zombies, flying zombies, drought demons, or the like. If it really appears, can we handle it?"

Hu Youni swallowed hard, sensing something was off.

Zombies are smelly and disgusting; it would be a miracle if anyone could feel any affection for them.

"I remember in the movie, there was a Taoist priest surnamed Huang who went to invite Uncle Nine to go to Tengteng Town to eliminate the zombies, but Uncle Nine refused. Then, the Taoist priest surnamed Huang never appeared again. He must have died. In later zombie movies, there was also a scene where Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai went to the town to get zombie teeth. I wonder what changes have taken place in Tengteng Town after this fall."

Su Yue paused for a moment before speaking.

"The vampires and winged people have already entered, so let them test the waters and investigate the situation before we make any further plans. At worst, we can retreat. With the Dragon Lord here, we can attack or defend as we please. The zombies can't get out. Before we are fully integrated, that layer of mist is both a protection and a restriction."

Ji Tianhao said slowly.

In situations where the circumstances are unclear, ensuring one's own safety is still quite necessary.

If the vampires and winged people go in first, they will definitely alert the zombies inside. At this time, they can simply watch the show first.

"Look, there's some commotion inside Tengteng Town. It must be the vampires and winged people who came in earlier fighting with the zombies inside."

Hu Youni said excitedly.

Her long pink hair danced in the wind, and the fragrance wafted right up to Ji Tianhao's nose.

They stood on the back of Baxia, on the second-floor balcony of the sand house, which offered a panoramic view. The view was much higher than most of the buildings in Tengteng Town. The ancient town was mostly filled with dilapidated houses, some of which were old and worn, covered in cobwebs, making it look like a long-abandoned town.

From the dilapidated houses, one could see coffins scattered about. Most of these coffins were made of inferior wood; many were simply thin coffins, barely taller than a straw mat. These thin coffins made up the majority, all placed inside the houses in the town. A glimpse could be seen through the broken openings.

At that moment, a violent sound suddenly erupted from a house in the town. A thin coffin shattered instantly, and inside, a zombie, not yet stiffened, lifted the lid and rose from the ground. Judging from its appearance, it was robust, likely a member of the lower class in life, and even in death, it had no decent burial clothes, only tattered garments. White hair had sprouted from its body.

It looks like the corpse has gone moldy.

Upon waking, he immediately saw a vampire with elegant manners, like a nobleman.

With a leap, he launched an attack on the vampire with both hands straight out. His fingers were visible, each nail as sharp as a dagger, giving off a tremendous pressure.

With each leap and dive, it displayed its instinctive fighting ability.

The life force emanating from vampires has a tremendous attraction for zombies.

"Eastern zombies, white-haired zombies, a disgusting and despicable species."

The male vampire, witnessing this, merely uttered a curse and pulled out a sword—a slender, long Western-style one-handed sword. Seeing the zombie lunging at him, he swung the sword, aiming for the zombie's eye.

Ding! !

The zombie reacted quickly; though its body was stiff, its movements were swift. It thrust upwards with both hands, clashing with the one-handed sword. The clash between the blade and the ten fingernails produced a crisp, metallic sound. White corpse energy emanated from its body, swirling around it like an invisible armor.

Ding ding ding! !

The sword flashed, constantly stabbing at the zombies. Some swords even broke through the zombies' defenses and landed on their bodies. However, it could be seen that the zombies' bodies were stiff and covered with white fur, making it difficult for the swords to pierce through them.

Just as the fight was getting intense, suddenly, a streak of blood-red light flashed from the vampire's hand, slicing across the zombie's neck.

The crimson light, like a blood-red blade, was incredibly sharp. As it sliced, it cleanly severed the zombie's neck, severing its head in the process. A thick, viscous aura of death emanated from its neck, and then its body stiffened and fell to the ground.

A ball of light was born out of thin air from its corpse.

The battle took place on the very edge of Tengteng Town, right in the sight of Ji Tianhao and his group.

"What kind of strength does that vampire possess to kill a zombie head-on? That white-haired zombie doesn't seem to be weak either."

Hu Youni murmured for a while.

"The vampire's strength is not bad. In a head-on fight, it may not be much stronger than that white-haired zombie. The zombie's greatest strength is its physical body. The zombie body has amazing defense, definitely belonging to the black iron level of life. It is normal for it to be impervious to blades and spears. Even if you pierce its body, it probably won't be fatal. The most important thing about a zombie is the corpse energy in its body. As long as the resentment is not dissipated and the corpse energy is not eliminated, it won't die even if its heart is pierced."

"The vampire was able to kill because he used vampire magic. That blood blade was very sharp, but I don't think it could be used many times."

Ji Tianhao frowned slightly before speaking.

His expression suggested a negative impression of vampires.

In a direct confrontation, the vampires would have no advantage whatsoever; in fact, once the corpse energy invades, the vampires themselves would be corrupted.

The vampire picked up the orb of creation from the ground with a look of delight, his eyes brimming with excitement.

"Those who despise my Eastern zombies have already met their demise. Come here."

Seeing the vampire's excited expression, Ji Tianhao estimated the distance between them, then immediately reached out towards the vampire and pulled him towards himself.

Innate supernatural power—gravity!!

An invisible force instantly captured the vampire, and the next second, the force contracted, pulling the vampire towards the Dragon Lord without any hesitation.

"Oh no, there are enemies."

The vampire felt the immense suction force enveloping its entire body, its excited expression freezing instantly. Instinctively sensing something was wrong, it began to struggle frantically, trying to break free from the pull. However, it discovered that no matter how hard it struggled, it couldn't escape the grip of this gravity.

brush! !

His decision was swift, and immediately, a layer of blood-red light emanated from his body.
