Although Black Bear still had so difficulty accepting his identity, the experience of transformation that had just occurred was undeniable, forcing him to acknowledge the truth.
"Do I really have the bloodline of the Demon Clan?"
Black Bear whispered to himself and lifted his head to look at the White Fox. "General, that boy who claims to be the Son of the Netherworld Emperor is very powerful. What do you plan to do with him?"
The cloaked figure chuckled indifferently and said, "For now, we let them and King Qin weaken each other, and we reap the benefits. Don't worry, those undead won't co to Xihu City. But you must make King Qin determined to send real experts. Only then can we exploit the opportunity."
"I will pretend to support King Qin and make him join forces with the other six kings. Hehe, when the ti cos, I'll gradually have King Qin under my control. As for the Son of the Netherworld Emperor, he is not a threat."
The White Fox also chuckled softly, "Exactly, just a young boy wet behind the ears. No matter how powerful he is, how powerful could he really be? Don't worry, with him holding back King Qin and his n, it will give us the opportunity. Once our Demon Clan reclaims the land, the world will be ours."
"Indeed, demons shall roam the world, and our Holy Temple will be the servants of the Demon Clan!" The cloaked figure smiled complacently, clearly not regarding Ye Guichen as significant.
On the other side, after returning to the Three Harmonies Valley, Ye Guichen first settled the two children, then returned to the tent to gather information from the scattered fragnt souls.
In processing this information, Ye Guichen was shocked to discover that nearly all living beings between Xihu City and the Three Harmonies Valley had been bitten to death.
After running around all day, he had only managed to save a tenth of the fragnt souls.
The rest would likely mutate soon.
This evolution process inexplicably reminded Ye Guichen of the zombie movies he had seen before.
Hell, could this really turn into a zombie siege?
Ye Guichen couldn't help but complain inwardly.
Suddenly, a fragnt soul's awareness landed in Ye Guichen's mind.
It was a concealed cave.
He discovered two unusual undead outside this cave.
The aura of these undead was distinctly different from ordinary undead, their entire bodies emitting a bronze light.
As the fragnt soul neared, it felt a sense of dread, seeming to be extrely wary of the two undead.
Due to inner fear, the fragnt soul quickly retreated, not lingering long.
However, this incident roused Ye Guichen's suspicion.
"Could it be that all the undead are hiding there?"
Contemplating for a mont, Ye Guichen stood up again and headed in that direction.
The place wasn't far from the Three Harmonies Valley, and despite the rough road, Ye Guichen walked as if it were flat ground.
Arriving at the location, Ye Guichen didn't appear imdiately, instead hiding at a distance to observe.
He saw two undead wandering around. They not only differed from typical undead, but also wielded weapons. A hint of vitality flickered in their eyes, as if their spiritual sense had been revived.
Suddenly, a wild rabbit inadvertently wandered into the line of sight of the two undead.
One of the undead thrust its spear, precisely piercing the rabbit.
Ye Guichen was taken aback, realizing that its spear skills were unexpectedly refined.
Based on recent observations, Ye Guichen had noted that ordinary undead lacked any mories of their past lives and couldn't wield weapons. Their forte was rely skin toughness akin to that of demon beasts.
Yet these two undead not only seed to handle weapons but also possessed a sliver of awareness.
Could it be?
Had they evolved this rapidly?
A sense of unease settled in Ye Guichen's heart.
If the undead could evolve, dealing with them would certainly beco more challenging.
The undead that used the spear approached, removed the rabbit from the spear's tip, and began devouring it whole without skinning.
The other undead let out a guttural sound, tapping the undead consuming the rabbit, as if communicating sothing.
The undead, now feasting on the rabbit, with blood and flesh in its mouth, blinked a couple of tis after listening, then tore off the remaining rabbit's fur before continuing to consu the at.
Seeing this, Ye Guichen beca all the more convinced of his hypothesis.
Damn, they had truly evolved.
And this was not a favorable sign.
Previously, ordinary Qi Refiners couldn't handle even the non-evolved undead, and conventional weapons couldn't harm them. If they evolve, dealing with them could require only high-level Qi Refiners.
Moreover, rely one day had passed.
Ye Guichen took a deep breath, struggling to maintain his composure amidst the shock. Just as he was about to charge forward to eliminate the two undead, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.
Holding his breath, Ye Guichen quickly cast the "Evergreen Technique" of Yi Wood, causing grass to grow around him, concealing his presence.
Not long after, a dozen more undead staggered over.
These undead looked as though they had just recently revived, appearing similar to those Ye Guichen had encountered before.
Lacking any awareness, they walked like they were summoned, showing no expression as they gravitated toward the evolved undead.
The two evolved undead gestured behind them as they saw more of their kind arriving.
A group of undead then stolidly moved behind the evolved pair.
Before long, the group of undead had vanished from view.
It was then that Ye Guichen noticed a cave behind the two evolved undead.
This cave was well concealed; one wouldn't notice it without closer inspection.
"Damn, is this place the nest of these undead, and is the source here as well?" Ye Guichen thought, his spirits lifted.
He glanced up to check the sky.
The sky was overcast, with most of the moon obscured by clouds.
As ti passed, more undead continued heading toward the cave.
What amazed Ye Guichen even more was that, after waiting for more than half an hour, two undead were carrying a woman.
The woman cried continuously, dressed in a blood-stained garnt.
Ye Guichen observed closely, noticing the woman hadn't been bitten.
"Please, let go, let go, okay?" The woman pleaded as she was carried by the undead.
But no one answered her.
Eventually, her cries grew hoarse.
From the looks of it, her hope was extinguished.
Afterwards, one by one, undead continued carrying won into the cave.
Ye Guichen discerned that all the carried won were above average in figure and appearance.
The entity inside had a preference for won?
Ye Guichen pondered how to find an opportunity to venture inside.
The evolved undead showed no sign of exhaustion, seemingly indefatigable in their vigilance.
"Ah, I've got it." Watching the flow of undead entering the cave, a plan sparked in Ye Guichen's mind, and swiftly, he vanished.
