Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Everyone, there’s no need to worry. If the four of you can’t gather enough harpy zombies, leave it to us. We’re so poor that we only have money and manpower! Everyone, you don’t have any objections if we join you, right?”
At the same time as the arrogant voice rang out from the dark hall, three blood shadows descended.
Immediately after, strange laughter echoed.
“Hehe, Gu Jiang is right. We are all subordinates of the Ninth Venerable. It’s reasonable for us to help each other!”
“Brother Jiang Chen, we have come here to support you for free. You wouldn’t possibly not welcome us, right?”
Seeing the zombie king from the other regions descend, Niu Feng and Wen Xiu tactfully shut their mouths and watched from the side.
Yang Tianyou leisurely took out a wooden chair and sat on it to the south, as if he didn’t care about it at all.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen cursed under his breath. Two cowards and one lazy man.
Although he hated these three teammates, the other party had already addressed him by name.
His blood-colored eye swept across the owners of the three blood shadows and coldly snorted. “Yu Shan, Xuan Kui, Gu Jiang, the first zombie wave is about to start. The three of you should properly guard your Hidden Gold Valley but you still dare to leave your posts. Be careful that the super large gold iron ore mine will be lost. If the higher-ups blame you guys, you all can forget about returning alive.”
“Don’t worry about that. In our territory, the human lords are too weak. They are almost wiped out by our zombies. Don’t you think that our combat power has increased a lot?”
The person who spoke was a one-eyed zombie. His voice was cold and hoarse, like a millstone crushing the ground. The grinding sound it made was ear-piercing and unpleasant.
With that, it even symbolically unleashed its aura.
Boom!
A blood-colored pillar of light rose from beneath his feet and shot into the sky.
“Zombie King’s Triple Transformation?”
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and his pupils constricted. He said in surprise, “Xuan Kui, you actually broke through!”
Hearing that, even Yang Tianyou looked over, but soon lost interest.
He took out a book called ‘How To Gain A Human Personality’ and read it quietly.
“What do you mean? Are you looking down on me?”
Opposite him, the zombie king called Xuan Kui revealed an angry expression, his fists cracking.
“Yes.”
Jiang Chen admitted frankly and sneered, “Everyone present, other than Yang Tianyou, is not worthy of me to think highly of.”
“Jiang Chen!!!” These words instantly enraged Xuan Kui who had just advanced. His voice was like thunder as he roared madly, and he seemed to have the intention to attack.
Yu Shan and Gu Jiang hurriedly pulled him back.
“Don’t be impulsive. Our goal is not to fight. Yang Fusheng, Yang Fusheng is important.”
When he heard this, Xuan Kui’s expression eased up.
Yes, Yang Fusheng…
This was a treasure worth 100 units of divine blood. If they could obtain him…
Even if the seven zombies present were to split the rewards, it would still be a huge reward.
Furthermore, they had paid a huge price to come here.
However, he suddenly changed the topic.
“Also, that fellow, Jiang Chen, has a foul mouth. His strength is beyond comparison. If we really fight, you might not necessarily be able to win. If you are beaten up, wouldn’t it be disastrous?”
“I think so too. That fellow beat up Wen Xiu and Niu Feng just now. We’ve watched in secret as well. I think there’s only a 10% chance of you winning. You’ll probably be beaten up.”
“F*ck you guys!”
Xuan Kui stared with his eyes wide open. What kind of f*cking corpse talk was this? Did they know how to speak properly?
However, after hearing his teammate’s words, he instantly gave up on the idea of fighting Jiang Chen for 300 rounds.
He had just broken through two days ago and his ego had inflated greatly. His old enemy had also been beaten up by him a few minutes ago. For a moment, his confidence was soaring.
Therefore, when he saw Jiang Chen, he could not help but retort.
“Jiang Chen, whoever comes is a guest. Besides, we’re here to help, not to find trouble with you. Why must you provoke us?” Gu Jiang acted as the mediator and said with a smile, as if he had forgotten that he was the one who had been arrogant in the beginning.
“That’s right. Before we came, we three brothers even helped you block all the zombie experts outside who came to cause trouble.”
Yu Shan smiled honestly and interrupted, “You guys don’t know how many people have wanted to share a cup of soup since the incident with Yang Fusheng. Fortunately, Xuan Kui is a wild person. He actually got in touch with the 69th venerable on the rankings. With one sentence, he made all the zombies retreat.”
“Of course, we’ve also paid a huge price for this. Therefore, harmony breeds wealth. There’s no need to fight to the death.”
“Also, we’ve heard that the human lord who took in Yang Fusheng is powerful. It’s definitely not a bad thing for us to be involved. Don’t worry. In terms of manpower, we can be the main force.”
“Oh? You actually hooked up with Lian Yue. Not bad!”
Jiang Chen copied Yang Tianyou and pulled out a huge zombie king’s throne seat from the void and sat on it.
He looked down at Xuan Kui from above and said generously, “For Lian Yue’s sake, I’ll let it go this time. Otherwise, just based on how rude you were previously, I would have dislocated your arm for two days.”
“Damn it, what a bully!!!”
Fury appeared on Xuan Kui’s face again. The emotions of zombies were violent to begin with. Even if they gained intelligence, this fact had never changed.
“Calm down, calm down!” Yu Shan and Gu Jiang hurriedly suppressed Xuan Kui.
“Don’t stop me. I want to kill this arrogant and conceited fellow. He even dares to call out Venerable Yue by his name. How dare he! I will definitely report this matter to the venerable and punish this rebellious corpse.” Xuan Kui was agitated. The blood-red glow on his body flickered, as if he was about to explode.
“Old Xuan, don’t be impulsive. You can’t beat him. Amongst the venerables ranked outside the top 50, which one have you seen Jiang Chen respect? If things go wrong, this bastard might even take the initiative to challenge Venerable Lian Yue this season. Bear with it. Harmony leads to wealth. Let them fight amongst themselves.” Gu Jiang hurriedly sent a voice transmission.
“Even you dare to curse a venerable!” Xuan Kui was speechless.
“Alright, you can just pretend in front of outsiders. That Lian Yue is nothing. His table manners are ugly. With just one word, he actually sucked all of us three brothers’ savings dry.”
“F*ck you. If we get Yang Fusheng and get 100 units of divine blood, don’t tell me that you’re not interested in the venerable seat.”
When he spoke up to here, Yu Shan’s simple and honest face revealed a wisp of an evil smile. He was moved as he said, “Once we attain that realm, at that time, his status will be far behind us. We might even be able to turn our statuses around. Even if we don’t succeed in killing Yang Fusheng, we’ll settle the score later.”
“I’ve just recorded it. Let’s expose this matter to him. Do you think Lian Yue will fall out with Jiang Chen? No matter who wins or loses, the one who will be unlucky will definitely be me.”
“A recording is nothing. I have the Sky Treasure Pavilion’s Shadow Preserving Stone. I’ve recorded all the videos and voice recordings. When the time comes, it won’t just be Lian Yue who he offends. It will be all the venerables ranked outside the top 50,” Gu Jiang said smugly.
“Brother Gu is still the awesome one! Your foresight and schemes are far above mine. I’m still too young! My zombie path career is endless, and I’ve learned it again today. I’ve learned it. Thank you for your guidance, brother.” Yu Shan’s eyes were filled with admiration.
“We’re brothers, it’s only right.” Gu Jiang waved his hand.
“Holy shit, you two… are so dirty.”
Xuan Kui looked at his two teammates in disbelief as if it was the first time he knew them.
“Don’t look at us like that. Times change. Old Xuan, if you have nothing to do, come out more often and broaden your horizons. The intelligent zombies these days are all rotten. Who knows when they will plot against you behind your back. You must be careful in the future.” Gu Jiang reminded.
“That’s right. Not long ago, a brother of mine was tricked like that. Now, the grass on his grave has increased by dozens of meters.” Yu Shan nodded in agreement.
“Alright, cut the crap. I’m still watching. Remember our objective—Yang Fusheng. Keep your tempers to yourself.”
Gu Jiang patted the two brothers and took the lead to step forward. He said, “Everyone, let’s not beat around the bush. The three of us will be participating in the first zombie wave operation in the Lonely Forest. Please make a decision.”
“We only have one point to make. The difficulty of Lin Ye’s zombie wave must be increased tenfold. Other than that, each of you three will need to send over 100 Level 5 harpy zombies. If you all can afford it, I have no objections,” Jiang Chen said nonchalantly.
In any case, the contract he signed with Lin Ye was 400. As long as he gathered enough in advance, he would have completed the oath.
If Xuan Kui and the rest were willing, that would be great. He could save some resources on his side, so why not?
Hearing that even Jiang Chen had agreed, Xuan Kui and the other two revealed a look of joy.
However, to increase the difficulty by tenfold?
Although Jiang Chen had already increased it by four times previously, the divine blood needed was still very extravagant.
Intense communication flashed through the eyes of the three zombie kings. In the end, they gritted their teeth and stomped their feet.
“Alright! We agree.”
Xuan Kui’s eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Wen Xiu and the others. “What do the other three think?”
“I… I have no objections,” Wen Xiu said helplessly.
“Me too,” Niu Feng agreed.
The two of them were loners.
On Xuan Kui’s side, they had already gathered together. If they did not agree to it.
They might be beaten up for no reason on the way back.
In the end, all the zombie king’s eyes landed on Yang Tianyou. This time, their target was Yang Fusheng.
Everyone knew that the two of them had a close relationship.
Immediately, there were some corpses gloating, some corpses laughing softly, and some corpses being cold…
“I agree.”
After thinking for a moment, Yang Tianyou closed the book and looked around.
He continued, “However, that’s not enough. Do you all dare to go big?”
