Chapter 4142 Another one comes
This is truly one thing after another. I never thought that getting covered in mud could lead to infection with the corpse virus. This time, I've really learned my lesson.
Fortunately, there was still some medicine left in the packet. Without saying a word, I went to Little Fatty's side and poured the remaining medicine into his mouth. I also saved some and applied it to his hands and feet.
The medicine was incredibly effective; in just a short while, the symptoms of the zombie transformation on Little Fatty's body had almost completely subsided.
Actually, the Heavenly Seal can also be used in this situation, but it is too slow. Each person needs at least a few minutes to draw out the corpse poison. At least half of the people will not be able to be saved in time and will have completely turned into zombies. Once they really become zombies, even drinking a packet of potion made from the Zhaoyao wood will not help.
"Young Master Wu is truly skilled. What did you give them to drink? The medicine is so effective, clearing the corpse poison from their bodies so quickly. Could you tell me where you got this medicine? I'd like to prepare some for any eventuality," Master Zhou hurriedly said.
"You can't find this medicine anywhere else. One packet is worth at least a small fortune," I said casually.
Master Zhou listened in stunned silence, speechless for a moment.
I wasn't lying to him. This thing, let alone a small fortune, would probably be in high demand even if it cost three small fortunes.
Anyway, I lost money on this deal. If I could get the zombie's corpse pill, I might be able to break even.
I glanced at the zombie trapped in the magic circle. He was still trying to escape, constantly crashing into one direction of the magic circle.
Although the zombie was bounced back by the magic circle every time, it still showed no sign of stopping.
Actually, there is another way to deal with him effortlessly: wait until dawn.
Zombies are extremely yin and evil creatures, while sunlight is extremely yang. As soon as it gets light, even the highest-level zombie cannot withstand the sun's rays and will inevitably turn into a pool of pus and blood.
However, this means I can no longer extract the zombie's crystal and refine it into a corpse pill.
This deal was already a loss, and if we can't get the Corpse Pill, it will be an even bigger loss.
As I stared at the zombie, wondering what to do, Boss Lin suddenly approached and said tremblingly, "Young Master Wu, if you can handle this, I... I'll offer three million..."
Hearing Mr. Lin say this, I was overjoyed and immediately said solemnly, "Mr. Lin, you saw it too. If I hadn't acted in time and dug up the grave in advance, this zombie would have crawled out of the grave on its own and killed your whole family. So many people were infected with the zombie poison just now. It's not easy to deal with this thing. You won't lose out at all by spending three million."
"Yes, yes, yes... Young Master Wu is right, this is terrifying, my legs are still shaking." Boss Lin was so frightened that his face turned pale.
"If you take someone's money, you're obligated to solve their problems. Don't worry, I'll definitely handle it for you. You stay with Master Zhou and Little Fatty and don't wander off. I'll come back to you once I've taken care of things and help your Lin family deal with the aftermath."
As I spoke, I took out the Heavenly Ruler again, opened a gap in the magic circle, and stepped inside, simultaneously closing the magic circle.
As soon as the zombie saw me enter, a glint of light flashed in its purple eyes. Immediately, it swayed and, carrying a foul stench, pounced on me again.
I used the same fighting style as before, relying on my agile movements to constantly dodge and weave, entangled with him.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Ruler had a great restraining effect on this zombie. Each time it was struck, it could remove some of the zombie's corpse energy.
The only way to deal with this thing is to wear him down until the corpse energy on his body has mostly dissipated, and then finish him off with the Heavenly Gang Seal in one move.
However, after I had been fighting the zombie in front of me for about half an hour, and before I could finish it off, a thick black corpse aura suddenly wafted out of the pit. Accompanied by a deafening roar, another zombie jumped out of the pit.
The zombie that was originally upside down had already been mostly dug out by Little Fatty.
What bad luck! I was already struggling to handle one zombie, and now another one has appeared.
A moment later, another zombie jumped out of the pit, even more ferocious than the one I was dealing with.
His body was even larger than the one in front of us, and he exuded a very strong aura of death. He also had purple eyes and fangs, and was as ugly as could be.
To this day, I still don't know what level of zombies they are. I guess they are purple-eyed zombies. They absorbed the ley lines of the corpse-nurturing ground and were nurtured by the magic array for a hundred years. Their strength is terrifying.
Before I could react, the zombie that jumped out of the pit swayed and arrived beside me.
His movements were even faster. With a sudden swing of his arm covered in sharp nails, he clawed at me. I swayed and the Heavenly Ruler struck his arm instantly. However, the zombie only emitted a faint aura of death, but his body remained completely still.
Just as I expected, this zombie was even more formidable.
The zombie I was dealing with earlier was female, but the one that just jumped out is male.
I am in a very dangerous situation now, being attacked from both sides by two zombies.
With no other option, I could only shroud the Eight-Foot Jade Orb above my head and activate the Blood Refining Orb and the Profound True Enlightenment Technique to continue entangled with them.
Fortunately, the Yasakani no Magatama continuously transfers energy to me, allowing my spiritual power to flow endlessly.
I can continuously activate the Divine Firmament Nine Miles at crucial moments to evade their attacks.
When Little Fatty and Master Zhou outside saw another zombie crawl out, they were both anxious, but there was nothing they could do to help, so they could only stand outside and worry helplessly.
Even with all my power, I struggled to fight these two zombies, and I almost got scratched by their claws several times.
The zombie that had just crawled out was clearly smarter. After chasing me for a while, it suddenly looked at Master Zhou and the others standing outside the magic circle. It twitched its nose and then darted towards Master Zhou and the others.
Just as they reached the edge of the magic circle, they were bounced back by it.
The zombie tilted its head and glanced at the protective barrier in front of the magic array, as if it were trying to figure out how to leave.
This high-level zombie has developed simple human-like thinking. Since it couldn't catch me, it decided to kill Master Zhou and the others outside.
After studying the magic array I had set up for a while, the zombie suddenly opened its blood-red maw and spewed out a very dense black corpse gas, which landed right on the protective barrier. I saw the runes on the protective barrier start to tremble violently.
