Chapter 4147 Still Dares to Get Angry
After I jumped out with Chixuan, I immediately activated the Corpse-Dispelling Array. The ferocious zombie was trapped in the array. The array eyes, set up with eight kinds of extremely yang objects, immediately took effect. Beams of light shot out from the array eyes landed on the zombie, and a large amount of corpse energy immediately burst out from the zombie's body, making a series of miserable howls.
Seeing this, my heart immediately calmed down. It seems that the Corpse Removal Array is very effective against zombies. Next, we just need to wait until the Corpse Removal Array has removed most of the corpse energy from his body, and then we can take him down and take his crystal.
However, the biggest contributor to trapping the zombie was Chixuan. If he hadn't run away with that basin of blood, the zombie wouldn't have fallen into our trap.
However, this kid also paid the price, as the zombie tore five bloody holes in his shoulder. The zombie's corpse poison was extremely potent. If the corpse poison wasn't cleared out quickly, I reckon it would spread throughout his body within ten minutes and trigger a zombie transformation.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Seal can solve this problem, so there's no need to waste another packet of herbs made from the leaves of the Flaming Wood Tree. To be honest, I really can't bear to use this stuff. I risked my life to get it, braving the Fire Domain and passing through the Netherworld. I don't know how much suffering I endured, so I definitely have to use it sparingly. Once it's used up, it's gone.
After my efforts, the Heavenly Seal also extracted a large amount of corpse energy from Chi Xuan's body. When the glutinous rice applied to his wound turned bright red, I knew that I had cleaned the corpse poison from his body.
This kid is lucky to be alive. Luckily I was there, otherwise he would have lost his life here.
He lay limply on the ground, his body extremely weak. He must have realized that he was out of danger.
"Thank you, Section Chief Wu... for saving my life," Chi Xuan said weakly.
I took out a pill from Xue Family Pharmacy from my pocket and gave it to him, telling him to take it quickly. I said with a smile, "You kid, don't call me Section Chief Wu anymore, call me 'brother,' I'm a few years older than you."
Upon hearing what I said, Chixuan's eyes lit up immediately, and he said excitedly, "Section Chief Wu... no, no, no... Brother Wu, can I really call you brother from now on? I can brag to my fellow disciples for the rest of my life that the famous Wu Laoliu actually calls me brother."
I thought to myself, what's so special about this? When Brother Gu sees Ge Yu, he still calls him "little brother."
"Let's not talk about that. Are you out of your mind? You rushed into something so dangerous without thinking. Aren't you afraid that zombie will kill you?" I rolled my eyes at him.
“Brother Wu, our special investigation team does dangerous work. Besides, aren’t you right here? How could we just stand by and watch someone die?” Chi Xuan grinned at me.
That's interesting. It has a kind of shameless vibe, like our old Sixth Regiment, but I like it.
This kid has some potential; he could be trained to be a qualified sixth brother.
After taking the pill, Chi Xuan's injuries healed quite quickly, and his complexion gradually regained some color.
My gaze fell on the zombie again. At this moment, he was constantly crashing into the magic circle, trying to break free of its confinement. No matter which direction he crashed in, something of extreme yang would attack him. The more violently he crashed, the greater the damage the magic circle would inflict on him, and a large amount of corpse energy was emanating from his body.
At this moment, Director Jia walked over to me and looked at Chixuan with a smile: "Good lad, as expected of someone from the Maoshan Sect, your method really works. It seems that this zombie can't escape the corpse-removing formation. Once the corpse energy on his body has been mostly removed, we can go up and take him back to the special investigation team for research."
When I heard Jia Ning say that, I was immediately unhappy. It sounded like he wanted to take the zombie that I had finally managed to subdue back with him.
Could it be that this kid also wants to refine the zombie's crystallized body into a corpse pill?
They dare to steal from me? Absolutely not.
"Director Jia, you can't take this zombie away. I need to keep it and report back to Minister Tang," I said calmly.
"What does Minister Tang need this for?" Jia Ning asked, looking surprised.
“Of course it has to be handed over to the Special Investigation Team. What do you think I came here for? If you don’t believe me, you can call Minister Tang right now and ask him if I’m supposed to take it back.” I said it without hesitation.
If Jia Ning dares to ask, given Lao Tang's personality, he will definitely protect his own, not letting the good stuff go to outsiders.
“Since it was Minister Tang who gave the order, then we’ll do as he says.” Jia Ning gave an awkward smile.
Our group watched as the zombie trapped in the magic circle charged back and forth for about half an hour, and it still hadn't calmed down.
Luckily, that kid Chixuan took the whole basin of blood and splashed it all over himself. If the zombie had drunk it, I feel he could have kept going for another half hour.
A few minutes later, the zombie could no longer struggle. After one last charge, it collapsed to the ground, trembling all over. Many of the copper coins on its body had fallen off, and black corpse energy emanated from its body, making it seem as if it had no fighting power left.
"Section Chief Wu, it seems the zombie's corpse energy has mostly dissipated. We can wrap this up now," Jia Ning said excitedly.
"Don't rush, let's wait a little longer. The corpse-dispelling array is still working. Even if he's lying inside, it will still dispel the remaining corpse energy from his body. For safety's sake, let's wait another ten minutes," Chi Xuan said with some concern.
I nodded. It's just ten more minutes; it's still a long way from dawn.
The zombie lying on the ground still had residual corpse energy leaking out, though it wasn't as strong as before.
Light continuously flew out from the eight array points and crashed into him.
Ten minutes later, the zombie's body was motionless, and its size seemed to have shrunk.
I waved my hand, signaling everyone to step back and form a circle. I then activated the magic array and slowly approached the zombie, carrying the Heavenly Ruler.
When I got to the zombie's side and glanced at it, I immediately sensed something was wrong. The zombie still had its fangs, which meant there was still a lot of corpse energy inside it. When I saw this, the zombie suddenly opened its eyes, a pair of purple eyes flashed with a cold light, and it stretched out its hands, directly grabbing my neck.
Even in this state, you still dare to get angry with me.
I swung the Heavenly Ruler in my hand and slammed it hard on the zombie's forehead, sending it flying.
