The village chief shivered in fright, nodded quickly in agreent, and jogged down the mountain.
After the village chief left, Wen Cangfeng looked at Cai You: "Any discoveries?"
"It's really a zombie!" Cai You exhaled heavily. "I never expected it to actually be a zombie. How is this possible? How can there be zombies here?"
Wen Cangfeng's face turned pale too: "What level?"
"White-haired zombie." Cai You said, then looked at Ye Guichen: "Brother, since you're a friend of Ma Xiaoling, you should know about zombies, right? Handling a white-haired zombie shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Everyone imdiately turned their gazes onto Ye Guichen.
Honestly, Ye Guichen was a bit confused now.
Ma Xiaoling only asked him to lend a hand, but didn't specify the matter.
Ye Guichen didn't take it to heart; even if it was a fight, there were few in Hua Country who could rival him.
Ye Guichen agreed swiftly, also to ensure Ma Xiaoling would protect Chen Ziran and keep any ill-intentioned n far from Chen Ziran.
It was a kind of transaction.
But now, how did zombies co into play?
Having encountered water monkeys before, Ye Guichen wasn't as shocked about the existence of zombies, since if you calculate, water monkeys are a type of zombie too.
But what the heck is this white-haired zombie?
"Ahem." Ye Guichen felt a bit embarrassed.
Having spent many years at Wanfoshan and traveled far and wide with Li Fengxian, he's seen a lot, but regarding zombie rankings, Ye Guichen didn't know much. Seeing the three seem to expectantly look at him, he felt a bit awkward: "White-haired zombie, is it very formidable?"
Wen Cangfeng and the other two were stunned.
Then, their faces beca increasingly grim.
Wen Cangfeng and Cai You directly stared at Jin Ling.
Jin Ling furrowed her brows: "Aren't you Ma Xiaoling's friend? Ma Xiaoling is the Holy Daughter of the Corpse-chasing Clan, she knows zombies extrely well and also has thods to restrain them. You don't even know what a white-haired zombie is?"
Ye Guichen scratched his head: "I know Ma Xiaoling is from the Corpse-chasing Clan, but I really don't know much about zombies."
Jin Ling felt a wave of frustration, feeling tricked by Ma Xiaoling.
"Hmph, with your level of understanding, you could still disable Situ Yu? I think, did you use so tricks?" Jin Ling glared at Ye Guichen, clearly unwilling to hide her identity anymore.
Ye Guichen was stunned upon hearing: "You know Situ Yu?"
"Of course, Situ Yu is one of the Ninth Grand Protector under the Military God, and I'm the Fifth Grand Protector, so do you think I know him?" Jin Ling was sowhat exasperated, her chest heaving: "Although Situ Yu has personality flaws, he is one of the Military God's Ninth Grand Protector, and now reduced to such, while the person who hurt him is still scot-free. Since we t today, let witness your prowess!"
Without holding back, Jin Ling wielded a strange whip, striking towards Ye Guichen.
Ye Guichen was astonished.
It was actually soone from the Thirteen Grand Protectors.
Ma Xiaoling knew people from the Thirteen Grand Protectors.
Previously, Ye Guichen had heard from Feng Guoguo about the Thirteen Grand Protectors, as if the first seven were all extraordinary individuals.
This world isn't short of Martial Arts Masters and Cross Training Masters, but there are many extraordinary individuals too. Chu Tiannan chose the Thirteen Grand Protectors not only based on martial arts prowess, very much similar to Ye Guichen, valuing the other's unique skills apart from martial arts prowess.
At that ti, Ye Guichen wanted to ask Feng Guoguo about what unique skills the first seven Grand Protectors among the Thirteen had, but Feng Guoguo didn't know either, because it was confidential, and since he joined late, he wasn't very clear about it.
Upon seeing today, Ye Guichen seed to understand a bit.
That guy nad Cai You should be a Spiritualist.
As for the relatively steady Wen Cangfeng, he looks like he's dressed as a Taoist. Although it's unknown which Taoist sect he cos from, his Taoist skills should be no weaker than Yang Hongfu.
As for this Jin Ling, an ethnic Miao woman, likely has connections to the Witch God Sect.
Of course, even if she isn't in the Witch God Sect, she must be proficient in witchcraft, otherwise she wouldn't be part of the Thirteen Grand Protectors.
"Jin Ling!" Before the whip could strike Ye Guichen, Wen Cangfeng already reprimanded: "Now is not the ti for personal vendettas, the urgent task is to quickly kill that white-haired zombie, or else if it escapes, it'll cause even greater trouble!"
Wen Cangfeng's words were clearly powerful.
Though Jin Ling reluctantly stopped, she glared fiercely at Ye Guichen: "I'll definitely ask Ma Xiaoling later, how she dared to trick ! Hmph, soone who doesn't even know what a white-haired zombie is, still dares to ddle."
Having spoken, she paid Ye Guichen no further attention and moved to the side.
Wen Cangfeng sighed and also ignored Ye Guichen, turning to Cai You: "Can you locate its position now?"
Cai You worriedly said: "Using my Spiritual techniques, I should be able to find it, but the white-haired zombie has initially developed a Spiritual Sense, its body is comparable to copper skin and iron bones, even if a Grandmaster faces it, there's no way to handle it. If we can't kill it outright, letting it escape will surely lead to big trouble."
Wen Cangfeng nodded in agreent: "Indeed, I didn't expect it to be a zombie, and a white-haired one at that. Although I know so Taoist techniques, I still lack confidence in dealing with a white-haired zombie. If a Corpse Chaser was here, perhaps we could temporarily suppress it."
"Brother Wen, what should we do now! The boss ordered us to find that thing quickly, if there's an incident, we'll definitely be punished!" Jin Ling stomped anxiously.
Clearly, the appearance of the white-haired zombie caught them off guard.
Ye Guichen caught the gist of it too.
Though he hadn't seen a white-haired zombie, Ye Guichen had encountered water monkeys.
Also, he had heard a few words from Ma Xiaoling before.
The Corpse-chasing Clan has thods to restrain zombies, but the corpses they usually handle are just ordinary, not the kind that has developed a Spiritual Sense and doesn't bite or drink blood, so mostly they aren't dangerous.
But once they beco real zombies, although Corpse Chasers have special thods to restrain them, dealing with them is not easy.
"Since we're here, let's search for it then." Ye Guichen realized the identities of these people and understood why Ma Xiaoling had him co.
If it was just an ordinary homicide case, there would be no need for the Thirteen Grand Protectors to intervene.
Moreover, Ye Guichen could tell Chu Tiannan didn't want this matter known by others, and thus had the Thirteen Grand Protectors quickly eliminate the zombie to reduce negative impact.
"Search?" Jin Ling laughed at Ye Guichen's suggestion: "If you find it, can you kill it?"
Ye Guichen shrugged: "If the martial arts are strong enough, it doesn't matter what it is actually."
