Jiu Shu held the arm that Yi Fei had chopped off and said.
“I say, Shibo, what do you mean by Green Corpse? Did he get green-ed in his previous life?” Only Zi Qiao dared to call Jiu Shu Shibo.
Xue Mo Yin pushed him aside, “Get out of here! What are you thinking about all day long? Jiu Shu, you continue, don't mind him. What exactly is this Green Corpse?”
Jiu Shu hadn’t understood Zi Qiao’s words, so he simply ignored him, “Do you remember I said that newly formed zombies are afraid of water, fire, chickens, dogs, sunlight, and even people. They are very easy to deal with. This kind of zombie is called Purple Corpse, and it’s also the weakest zombie.”
He put the arm down and continued, seeing that everyone was interested in this matter. “Above the Purple Corpse, is the White Corpse. Compared to the Purple Corpse, the White Corpse is no longer afraid of humans, but there are no other changes. It is still very easy to deal with. Above that is the Black Corpse. At this stage, it’s no longer afraid of so many things, but it’s still afraid of fire and sunlight.”
“Then above that is the Green Corpse, the level that Old Master Ren is at now. At this stage, he is only afraid of sunlight, and he also has some intelligence.”
Xue Mo Yin had never heard of such a classification of zombies before, so he asked, “What about above that?”
Jiu Shu’s expression became a bit serious at this point, “Above the Green Corpse is the Hairy Corpse. It’s body is as hard as iron, its strength is immense, it is agile, it is not afraid of ordinary fire, and it is not afraid of sunlight. Old Master Ren would probably evolve to this stage if he were to absorb Ren Ting Ting’s blood.”
Everyone exchanged glances and looked at Ren Ting Ting, who was not far away. It was fortunate that she was still alive. If she were to be successfully absorbed by Old Master Ren, the danger level of their mission would increase dramatically.
“What about above that?” Wan Yu asked curiously at this time.
“Above that is the Flying Corpse. At this stage, it can no longer be injured by mortal weapons. It also possesses magic and can fly. Then there is the legendary Drought Devil. I once saw one when I followed my master. In that battle, sixteen top-tier celestial masters, including my master, sacrificed themselves to kill that Drought Devil.” Jiu Shu sighed. He had been unable to help at all in that battle and could only watch as his master and the others sacrificed themselves one by one.
He continued, recalling his memories. “After that, there is the legendary Hou. It is said to be an ancient beast, but no one has ever seen it. By the way, Guanyin Bodhisattva’s mount is a Golden-haired Hou. Finally, there is the legendary ancestor of all corpses, the Corpse God Jiang Chen, who is said to have evolved from the Hou.”
Xue Mo Yin estimated that, with their current strength, they could at most fight a Hairy Corpse for a few rounds, and it was probably a bit of a stretch for them to kill one. If it were a Flying Corpse, then they would just have to lie down and wait to die. As for the last three, they were almost legendary and probably couldn’t be encountered.
“Alright, get some rest. You haven’t closed your eyes from last night until now.” Jiu Shu said to them.
The group went back to the Yizhuang to rest. They were indeed quite tired, especially Xue Mo Yin and Zi Qiao. They hadn’t slept much in the past few days, and they had been through a battle tonight. Their nerves were even tighter. After the battle was over, they relaxed, and the drowsiness immediately hit them.
They went back to their room and lay down on the bed. In a short while, they fell asleep. They would have to go up the mountain to find Old Master Ren the next day, so it was a good time for them to get a good night’s sleep and replenish their energy.
The next morning, Jiu Shu didn’t have Wen Cai wake everyone up. It wasn’t until A Wei brought people over to prepare to go up the mountain that he woke them up.
After having a simple bite to eat, the group headed towards the back mountain.
Looking at the mountain in front of them, which was several times larger than the one in the movie, the group’s eyes showed a sense of despair. With this area, who knows how long it would take to find it?
Hu Yi Fei was still a little uneasy about A Wei, “You listen to me. Once you find it, you and your men hide aside. If you dare to mess things up again, I’ll kill you!”
“Understood, understood. Just rest assured, I’ll definitely listen to your command and get this done for you.” A Wei said with a flattering smile.
Wan Yu walked over and said, “Mo Yin, I remember that guy was hiding in a hidden cave in the movie, right?”
“Yes, yes! I remember that these guys found a big black monkey and were scared away. Then the zombie was hiding in the cave next to it.” Mei Jia remembered.
“Okay, Mei Jia, when did your memory get so good? But that thing wasn’t a monkey, it was a gorilla.” Hu Yi Fei was surprised. Mei Jia was a rare sight today.
Mei Jia proudly raised her head, “That’s right! My memory has always been very good. Whether it’s a monkey or a gorilla doesn’t matter, it’s basically the same thing.”
“I thought your IQ had improved. Are those two things basically the same? They’re not even the same thing, alright.”
“Lü Zi Qiao, do you want to die! Then tell me what the difference is between those two things?”
“Hey, hey, hey! The topic’s off track. Is now the time to worry about gorillas and monkeys? The important thing right now is the zombie, okay?” Xue Mo Yin was speechless. How come this group’s thinking was so active? They’d go off on a tangent at the drop of a hat.
Wan Yu was still relatively normal. “A Wei, have your men try to find some caves and the like. Also, pay attention to the surroundings for any recently dead animal corpses.”
“Wan Yu, why are you looking for corpses? Don’t tell me this thing can be used as medicine?” Yi Fei asked curiously.
Xue Mo Yin rolled his eyes at her. “Don’t you remember how that guy recovered after being injured by Jiu Shu in the movie?”
Hu Yi Fei thought for a moment, “I remember he sucked the blood of a rat. So that means…”
“That’s right. If he wants to heal his wounds, he won’t spare the animals on this mountain. If that’s the case, we can find him by following this clue. By the way, Feifei, one more thing, animal corpses can indeed be used as medicine.” Wan Yu seriously explained to Hu Yi Fei.
Xue Mo Yin interrupted their conversation. “Alright, let’s try to find some clues too. The faster we find it, the faster we can complete the task. Then we’ll stay a few more days to have some fun. Then we’ll say goodbye to Jiu Shu and go home.”
As for the other two ideas they had when they first came, one was to exchange gold for antiques. This was simple to handle. Zi Qiao just needed to make contact and then discuss the price. As for the other matter of learning from Jiu Shu, even if they were thick-skinned, they wouldn’t dare to mention it again.
Jiu Shu had given them equipment and helped them along the way. Even Zi Qiao’s ability to obtain the Maoshan Demonic Striking Technique had something to do with Jiu Shu. They had already gained enough from this trip. Everyone tacitly decided not to mention it again.
“Everyone, come over here. There’s a discovery!” A Wei called out to them from a distance.
They went over to see a rabbit’s corpse lying by the grass. Wan Yu squatted down and took a closer look. “Good. It looks like it died last night. Moreover, judging by the wounds on the corpse, it should have been done by the zombie.”
“You know this stuff? Isn’t this the job of a veterinarian, or rather, a forensic pathologist?” Zi Qiao was surprised. He instantly thought of how Wan Yu had helped him yesterday, and he couldn’t help but feel a sense of fear in his heart.
Wan Yu tapped him on the head. “Get out of here. This is all basic common sense, okay? But the medicine I gave you yesterday seems to be wrong. I think I gave you the wrong one.”
“What!”
“Alright, she’s just messing with you.” Xue Mo Yin was speechless. Why were they all so scheming?
Wan Yu snorted. Who told him to question her medical skills?
“A Wei, have your men continue to search in the area around this corpse. Pay extra attention to any caves.”
“Understood.”
The group surrounded the corpse and began to search again. However, they weren’t as lucky this time. For two hours, they didn’t find any clues.
A Wei ran over, panting. “I say, you guys, why don’t we go down the mountain first? Let’s go down and rest for a while. It doesn’t look like we’ll be able to find it for a while. Besides, it definitely won’t be able to escape.”
“Captain! There’s a discovery!”
As if to slap him in the face, his men made a new discovery just after he finished speaking.
