In order to eat, I signed a contract with the system

Realizing that something was wrong, Ruyi quickly used her magic power to ignite the communication talisman, trying to send a message to Uncle Jiu, reminding them of the situation inside the cave and telling them not to be impulsive and rush in without knowing anything.

The communication talisman burned out normally and there was nothing unusual. Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Uncle Jiu must have received the message she sent.

This was indeed the case. Dozens of Taoist priests suddenly appeared in the deep mountains. The one with the highest level of cultivation had reached the level of a half-step Heavenly Master, and the one with the lowest level of cultivation was in the late Heavenly Master stage. The group of people did not hide at all and marched forward in a mighty and rapid manner. They were soon discovered by the patrolling zombie squad.

After just one encounter, a zombie team consisting of ten green zombies was surrounded by the Taoist priests. No one cared about one-on-one combat, and several Taoist priests quickly dealt with the zombie team with one move each.

For a moment, everyone's morale was high and they were unstoppable. Led by Taoist Qianhe, they rushed all the way to the foot of the stone wall, fumbled to open the stone wall and revealed the entrance to the cave. When they were about to enter the cave, Uncle Jiu received Ruyi's message.

"Uncle Jiu, that cave is a super-large cave that can accommodate tens of thousands of zombies. The routes inside are complicated and easy to defend but difficult to attack. It's easy to get in but difficult to get out. Be careful!"

Taoist Master Qianhe took the lead and rushed to the front of the team with Taoist Master Shijian. Taoist Master Simu followed Uncle Jiu all the way and mixed in at the tail of the team.

Seeing that the other Taoist priests had gone in, Uncle Jiu suddenly stopped. Taoist Simu came over puzzled and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"

"I received Ruyi's message." Uncle Jiu's expression was very serious. "She said that there is a super-large cave inside the cave, which can accommodate at least tens of thousands of zombies."

"Tens of thousands?!" Taoist Simu's eyes widened. "How can there be so many?"

"Brother, hurry up and stop Junior Brother Qianhe and the others!" Taoist Simu was anxious. There were tens of thousands of zombies and they were just dozens of people. One person had to deal with hundreds of zombies, including many high-level zombies. Isn't that courting death?

"It's too late!" Uncle Jiu shook his head helplessly, "They have already gone in." While the two were talking, the Taoist priests in front had already rushed in with Senior Brother Shi Jian, leaving only the two of them and a few who had just arrived at the cave entrance.

After Taoist Qianhe and others rushed into the cave, they first entered a long passage. It was pitch black all around and they could not see anything. The stinking smell unique to zombies came into their noses, mixed with the original mud and moisture in the cave, which made everyone's heart rise instantly.

"With such a strong yin energy, I'm afraid there are many zombies hiding in this cave."

"Everyone, be alert and don't be left alone!" Shi Jian realized something was wrong as soon as he came in. The cave was too narrow, and there was only one passage accessible and no light. Such an environment was not suitable for the Taoist priests to fight, but was very beneficial to the zombies.

After walking forward for a few dozen meters, several passages suddenly appeared in front of them. They didn't know which way to go and had to stop.

"It seems that we have to split up next." Seeing the passage in front of them, everyone had a premonition in their hearts.

Taoist Priest Li, who was the best at tracking, stepped forward at the right time, squatted down and carefully explored each passage. He touched the Yin soil on the ground, smelled it, and then lit the fire talisman and shook it at the entrance of each passage.

"Everyone, after my investigation, I found zombies passing through these passages. The one on the far right has the heaviest Yin Qi, with zombies at least at the hairy zombie level. The middle passage has the least Yin Qi, but it's definitely not just ordinary purple zombies. The rest of the passages have similar Yin Qi."

After the results of Taoist Priest Li's investigation came out, the leader Shi Jian and others began to make arrangements. The passage with the heaviest yin energy was naturally led by Shi Jian, the Taoist priest with the highest cultivation level, while the passage with the shallowest yin energy was left to the Taoist priests with the lowest cultivation level.

The other Taoist priests also chose the corresponding channels according to their cultivation level. After everything was confirmed, Taoist priest Qianhe discovered that his senior brothers Lin and Simu were not there.

Just as he was about to ask, he heard the other Taoist priests say strangely, "It seems that a few people are missing. Taoist Priest Lin, Taoist Priest Simu, Taoist Priest Wang, Taoist Priest Xing, and Taoist Priest Nie are not here."

"Humph! A bunch of cowards!"

When Shi Jian heard that Uncle Jiu was not there, he snorted coldly, "He is really not worthy of being a cultivator!"

"Master Shi must have misunderstood. Master Nie and I are old acquaintances. Master Nie is a decent and upright person. He would never be afraid of death."

"Something must have happened!"

"Yes, Taoist Priest Shi, my junior brother and I also understand Taoist Priest Lin. I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding!" Taoist Priest Huang and Taoist Priest Fang of Longhu Mountain saw this and spoke up to plead for Uncle Jiu. Taoist Priest Qianhe also hurriedly said that Senior Brother Simu and Uncle Jiu would never escape from the battlefield.

"Could something have happened to them?"

"Should we go back and find them?" Everyone was talking about this for a while.

As for Uncle Jiu and his five companions, who Shi Jian believed were afraid of death and had deserted the battlefield without following him, something was indeed in trouble at this time. When Uncle Jiu received Ruyi's message, it was too late. Everyone had already entered the cave. Therefore, after thinking about it, he and Simu decided to go in as soon as possible to catch up with everyone and inform everyone of the news.

As a result, just as Master Wang, Master Xing, and Master Nie caught up with the end of the team, they encountered the Zombie King who had returned from Bai Niao Town.

"who?"

Hearing the voice coming from behind, Uncle Jiu and others quickly gathered together and looked back vigilantly. They saw that the person who came was a middle-aged man wearing an ordinary sweatshirt and had short hair. He looked similar to the people in the town.

Not noticing anything unusual about the newcomer, Uncle Jiu and the others relaxed their guard a bit. "Are you a villager from nearby?"

The Zombie King turned a deaf ear to Uncle Jiu and the others' questions, only concentrating on sizing up the 'experimental subject' before him and commenting, "Three Earth Masters and two Human Masters?"

"Good material. I haven't found any Taoist priests among my experiments yet. I wonder if a zombie transformed from a Taoist priest can retain its original memories."

As soon as they heard the newcomer, they recognized the cultivation levels of several people at a glance. Uncle Jiu and the other four immediately realized that the person in front of them was not an ordinary citizen. "Are you the person behind this?"

"The person behind the scenes?" The Zombie King laughed, "Who do you think I am?"

"I am a general!"

"General?!" X3

The name of the real zombie ancestor Jiang Chen was known to all the five people present. They were horrified, "How could it be Jiang Chen?!"

Isn't Jiang Chen, the ancestor of zombies, asleep? The Ma family in the north has been searching for Jiang Chen for generations, but how could he appear in Guangxi?

"Master Xing, please leave quickly!" Everyone tacitly gave the way to the youngest Master Xing.

Legend has it that Jiang Chen is the ancestor of zombies and has been immortal for thousands of years. Facing such a being, Uncle Jiu knew in his heart that he had no chance of winning, but for the sake of mankind and in order to be able to pass the message to Shi Jian and others, he still resolutely turned around and attacked Jiang Chen.
