Feasibility of Mermaids Infiltrating Qilin

The village was not far from them, and they were about to step into the village when Su Xingze slowly stopped.

Zhang Shenglin glanced at the withered yellow tree at the village entrance. The door of the farmhouse closest to the village entrance was wide open, and his good eyesight allowed him to clearly see the mess in the yard.

"wrong!"

His expression turned serious; there was a very unsettling atmosphere in the village.

A smell that annoyed and disgusted him.

Su Xingze narrowed his eyes, sensing a strange, malevolent aura. This aura felt somewhat similar to the pervasive, scorching heat of this land.

"Little Qilin, it seems we'll soon be encountering the evil creatures of this world."

They didn't know what level of evil creatures were in the village, but regardless of their level, it was a good opportunity for them to test the waters.

After placing a protective layer on the two of them, Su Xingze maintained a distance where he could reach out and grab the little Qilin, ready to teleport away with it at any time.

They knew nothing about this evil thing; none of the many books sold in the store contained anything related to it.

They knew nothing about what evil things were, what abilities they had, or how powerful they were; all they could do was stay vigilant.

As soon as the two stepped into the village, a bluish-black afterimage rushed out of the village.

The thing was very fast, so fast that you could only see a blurry shadow. If you were caught off guard, you might actually get hurt by it. But Zhang Shenglin never let his guard down from the moment he approached the village.

As the shadowy figure attacked, Zhang Shenglin grabbed the little mermaid beside him with one hand and stomped his foot on the ground, using the momentum to fly into the air.

While being carried by the little Qilin to the big tree at the entrance of the village, Su Xingze was not idle.

With a slight flick of the wrist, 72 gleaming golden bells rang simultaneously.

Amidst the soft ringing of bells, the dark figure slowed its movements, though it remained fast. Compared to the indistinct afterimages before, they could now at least make out the appearance of the evil creature attacking them.

"Huh? This thing doesn't seem to have much consciousness." His mental illusion hadn't worked completely; even if this evil creature did have some consciousness, it was probably limited.

The evil creature slowed down, but it had no intention of letting its prey go.

It bared its sharp fangs, hissed, and strangely, instead of bending its legs, it suddenly leaped high into the air, landing on a tree and reaching for the two with its long, dark, sinister-looking fingernails.

Zhang Shenglin raised his knife to block the evil creature's claws, and at the same time, he kicked it hard in the stomach. The sensation under his foot was like kicking an iron plate. Fortunately, since he started cultivating, his strength had been increasing. This kick sent the evil creature crashing to the ground with a loud thud.

The evil creature's body was extremely heavy, and it smashed a human-shaped crater into the ground.

The monster seemed to feel no pain. The moment it landed on the ground, it jumped straight up again. This very obvious characteristic made Zhang Shenglin immediately recognize the evil creature's identity.

"Zombies."

Such evil beings also exist in his world, mostly appearing in tombs, and are formed from the corpses of the dead through various coincidences.

However, the zombies in this world are clearly very different from the zongzi (rice dumplings) in other worlds.

The zombies in this world are stronger and more difficult to deal with.

He possessed immense strength, incredible speed, and was impervious to blades and spears... He also exuded the same toxic heat as the air around him. After only a short time, Zhang Shenglin felt his skin become dry and dehydrated.

This is completely different from the traditional impression of zombies who are extremely afraid of the sun and yang energy.

Zhang Shenglin's expression darkened: "It's a drought demon."

The drought demon is a level higher than the zombie, and is much more troublesome.

Of course, Zhang Shenglin is just a troublesome opponent now.

Immense strength?

He is also quite strong.

Extremely fast?

His lightness skill was already close to breaking through to the master level, so he was not slow either.

Invulnerable?

His sword was indeed inadequate, but with the bloodline of the Qilin, he was naturally able to defeat evil creatures like the drought demon.

The conclusion is that we can win.

"Wait for me here."

After saying this, Zhang Shenglin jumped down from the tree, his bloodline power surging from his hand and spreading throughout the entire blade.

This is his trial mission; the little merman only needs to watch from the sidelines.

The drought demon, whose mind was impaired and who was essentially a corpse, looked fearfully at the long sword in his hand that gave off an unfriendly feeling towards the corpse.

Corpses don't have the brains to weigh the pros and cons; their first reaction upon discovering a threat is to immediately destroy it.

Su Xingze's illusion had long since ended, so he didn't try to fix it. Since Little Qilin had told him to wait for him, all he had to do was trust Little Qilin.

As for the little Qilin being unable to defeat this drought demon corpse, that's impossible, absolutely impossible.

That's right, he had that much confidence in the little Qilin.

Zhang Shenglin did not disappoint him. With the Qilin bloodline that could overcome evil creatures and the ten times the learning/training time in the learning space, his combat strength was not weak.

Half an hour later, he successfully cut off the drought demon's head. With its weak point attacked and its head gone, the drought demon collapsed and lay motionless.

A mechanical notification sounded in both of their ears at the same time, and they both received 500 points.

The knife in Zhang Shenglin's hand had been reduced to scrap metal. The drought demon's body was stiffer than steel. With the blessing of the Qilin's power, beheading the drought demon was already the limit of this knife.

Su Xingze flew down from the tree, picked up a branch, and poked the drought demon's corpse on the ground.

"This is a level two evil creature." He tilted his head, recalling the battle between the little Qilin and the drought demon. "Fortunately, this drought demon wasn't particularly powerful."

However, this is only level two. There are level three and the Ancestor of Evil above it. The little Qilin can handle level two with ease, but level three and above may be more difficult.

My gaze fell on the little Qilin's nicked and chipped blade. It was just an ordinary blade brought from the Zhang family, and its ability to kill a drought demon was enough to reach the pinnacle of its blade's power.

"Let's rest here for a while, figure out the situation in this world, and then change into better equipment."

Su Xingze looked around the small village. After the drought demon died, the temperature in this area had dropped a bit.

Take out two gourd-shaped water jugs, and hand one to the little Qilin. During the battle with the drought demon, the little Qilin lost a lot of water and urgently needed to replenish it.

Su Xingze didn't just stand by and watch while he fought; the evil creature in this world was clearly a drought demon.

The emergence of drought demons has always been accompanied by severe droughts. Judging from the severity of this elemental imbalance, there is more than one drought demon that has emerged. There may even be a powerful ancestor of evil creatures, which is probably the ancestor of these drought demons.

If the ancestor of drought demons does not die, the drought and water shortage will become increasingly severe.

The two gourds are the Qiankun Gourds of the cultivation world. They look only the size of two palms, but the space inside can actually hold a small lake.

The water inside is a spiritual spring with a faint spiritual aura; it can not only quench thirst but also eliminate negative effects such as fatigue.

While the little Qilin was replenishing its water, Su Xingze leaned closer to examine the drought demon's corpse.

"This body is covered in corpse poison; we can't just leave it like this."

A ball of fire fell from his hand onto the drought demon's body, and quickly, as if it had encountered rich oil, the entire drought demon's corpse burst into flames.

His fire-based abilities are relatively weak compared to his other abilities, but in this region where fire elements are extremely active, they have been amplified several times over.

Soon the drought demon was burned to a pile of black ash, and in the ash, Su Xingze found ten long black fingernails and two sharp fangs left behind by the drought demon.

These two items are of exceptional quality, having survived fire.

After putting away the spoils, Su Xingze and the little Qilin separated to investigate the situation in the village.
