Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Chapter 502 Former Kui Mulang

After leaving behind a lot of information, Paper Doll Nan left quietly.

She still needs to go back and talk to the Mao family. The members of the inspection team haven't even arrived in the southwest yet, and we, the paper-making lineage, have been kidnapped like this?

If you don't give me an explanation, I'll pass the message on.

After word gets out that they kidnapped someone without any explanation, let's see if the Mao family will have any face left.

This would also cause the surrounding allies to adopt a wait-and-see attitude, as they were all afraid of being scammed by the Mao family, except for the coffin shop.

Corpse City.

All the direct descendants of the Mao family live here.

Low-level zombies have the lowest status here.

A zombie's status is determined by the coffin it inhabits.

The stronger the zombie, the better the coffin it lives in, while some weaker zombies just use straw mats to cover themselves.

Mao Shiba went into seclusion again, and he would not emerge until the zombie Baiyue appeared.

This time, he will use the blood of his entire clan as his ladder to success.

The head of the Mao family invited a group of paper figures into the side hall.

These paper figures, just like living people, have expressions.

"The lineage of paper-making craftsmen."

"The reason I invited you to live in Corpse City this time is to make you behave yourselves and not ask about things you shouldn't ask about."

"Don't think that just because you have a paper doll ancestor, you can do whatever you want."

"The sky above the Mao family is the sky above the southwest."

"You need to distinguish between primary and secondary matters."

The head of the Mao family said arrogantly, and the paper-making lineage all lowered their heads and remained silent.

They were living in seclusion in the village when they were captured by the Mao family.

The strongest paper doll among them was only at the sixth rank.

They suffered because their ancestors were no longer around.

It's quite normal that our ancestors often traveled outside the village and weren't in the village.

"Alright, you can stay in Corpse City for now."

"Just tell the little zombie guarding your door what you need."

"After all, you are our guests. Since you have come to visit, we naturally want to prepare everything for you."

The head of the Mao family laughed loudly.

"The head of the Mao family was very smug this time, which really annoyed me."

When the paper figures gathered together, the most powerful one said indignantly.

Three wounds were scratched on his chest by the zombies, and the zombie poison clung to him like a bone-deep infection.

No matter how many times the paper figures were replaced with paper, the deadly poison continued to spread.

The paper-making family members have all been injured to varying degrees.

"It's alright, our ancestors will definitely save us."

"Our ancestors were omnipotent gods."

The paper figures all spoke.

At this moment, a paper figure floated out from the crack in the door, revealing the figure of Paper Figure Nan.

"Ancestor."

"How did you suddenly appear here? Did you come to rescue us?"

The paper figures said with deep emotion that only their ancestor was willing to save them from their dire straits.

"I just came to check on your situation."

"You all need to hold on for a while. My main body has already sent a letter to the head of the Mao family and has also joined forces with several other forces."

"However, before the Yan Kingdom and the Mao family decide their victor, you should stay in the Corpse City and not go out."

"As the saying goes, the safest place is the most dangerous place. Corpse City is a very safe place for you now, and you will not be involved in the conflict."

Paper Doll Nan said with utmost composure.

"Ah, we'll be staying here for a while longer."

The faces of all the paper figures collapsed.

"Would you choose to be detained here, or would you choose to be caught in the middle of the war between Yan Kingdom and Corpse City, serving as cannon fodder?"

"Paper Doll Nan said irritably."

"But if we stay here, and the Yan Kingdom attacks Corpse City, won't we become cannon fodder too?"

A paper figure immediately retorted.

"It seems I've protected you too well, letting you become unaware of your own limitations."

"Let me tell you the truth."

“We paper craftsmen and knife procurers will not participate in this war.”

"Even if you are here in Corpse City, we will not participate in this war."

"The only thing we can do is to be imprisoned by the Mao family and wait for the victor."

"However, given the current situation, the possibility of Yan Kingdom winning is very high."

Some of the paper figures were confused: "Doesn't the Yan Kingdom have six marshals and twelve pillars of the nation? Even if just one of them came, they could wipe out the Mao family."

"Then what is the point of sending out inspection teams?"

Zhi Rennan was very pleased that someone had thought of this: "Yan Kingdom values ​​evidence. If there is no evidence and the Mao family is forcibly eliminated, it will cause other aristocratic families to panic. They will wonder if they will be killed like the Mao family."

"Now you know what I mean, right?"

"The inspection team is the same as the investigation team, responsible for collecting all the information about the Mao family's corruption and illegal activities."

“Take it one step at a time. This is a game between the Mao family and the Yan Kingdom. We little Karami should not go up.”

"I will give each of you a teleportation talisman in a moment. Once the barrier of the Corpse City is broken, tear off the talisman and leave the Corpse City immediately."

"My main body will be outside to meet you."

Paper Man Nan told his clansmen about the plan.

"Don't worry, Ancestor, we will definitely behave ourselves and use the talisman you gave us immediately if we encounter any danger."

The paper figures murmured.

“Very good, these are disposable paper figures, and they will be destroyed immediately after use.”

"Remember, don't go head-to-head with the Mao family. I'll be heartbroken if any of you are missing."

"You should take the initiative to befriend the Mao family and lower their guard."

"Do you understand?"

At this moment, the paper figure Nan's body disappeared completely, like a butterfly fluttering in the air.

"Ancestor, ancestor."

The paper figures were astonished.

"Stop calling. Our ancestor has already left. It's already quite remarkable that it could transmit messages for us through the barrier."

"Let's go into seclusion in this side hall now. As long as we don't make a fuss, the zombies generally won't pay any attention to us."

Outside the side hall, a giant zombie that looks like an elephant is guarding the door.

It had ears the size of palm leaves, listening intently to what was being said in the side hall.

However, it didn't hear anything; it only sensed that the people in these side halls were all cultivating.

"Brother Leopard, why are these paper craftsmen so calm? Shouldn't they be terrified when they're arrested and imprisoned here?"

The elephant zombie is truly perplexing; its body is large, but its brain capacity is not.

"You're underestimating the paper-crafting lineage."

"I heard that their true forms are hidden inside paper figures, and inside the paper figures is an alternate dimension with a coffin."

"The paper figure's true form lies inside the coffin."

"The ghost paper they use."

"This type of paper has a very important characteristic: it can move freely in the shadows."

"They're probably planning to escape when chaos breaks out in the city of corpses."

"We must keep a close eye on them, or the patriarch will blame us."

"Brother Leopard analyzed."

Just then, a flamboyant peacock walked over from the side. Its feathers were made of refined iron, and it emitted a strange odor like formaldehyde.

The peacock was wearing a uniform with a large character "卒" (soldier) written in the middle.

It's clear that the elephant, cheetah, and peacock are all responsible for guarding the 'little zombies' in the side hall.

"Peacock, you're the smartest zombie here. How do you think we should maintain our relationship with the inspection team this time?"

"Will the inspection team attack the Corpse City without distinguishing right from wrong?"

The zombies here include not only powerful humans, but also powerful alien beasts.

After they died, they were turned into zombies and implanted with human brains to give them better thinking abilities.

"To be honest, I don't have a good chance of winning against Corpse City this time."

"The Yan Kingdom is incredibly powerful. Can't the six marshals see the problem with the Corpse City?"

"This is a blatant case of a country within a country. Do you think the higher-ups will let it go easily?"

"The best outcome for the Mao family this time is to suffer heavy losses and pay a blood price, and then submit to their rule."

"The worst outcome would be the complete annihilation of the entire clan."

"The peacock said softly."

"So what should we do?"

"I don't want to die here with the Mao family!"

"The elephant zombie said in terror."

"It's not so easy for us to escape, otherwise I would have escaped long ago. Have you forgotten the incantation engraved deep in our souls?"

"Those talismans directly restrain us, control our thoughts, and make us fight like puppets."

"If we wait until the Yan Kingdom invades, we'll probably just be cannon fodder."

"I want to find a chance to save myself."

After hearing what the peacock zombie said, both the leopard zombie and the elephant zombie sighed.

Yes, since we're going to die anyway, we might as well die a glorious death.

"What other ideas do you have? To be honest, even if we unite and escape from here, we're not human or ghosts right now. Won't we be hunted down by the Yan Kingdom?"

"The Yan Kingdom has great taboo against gods, demons, and monsters, and we are zombies who are not subject to the Five Elements. In the eyes of the Yan Kingdom people, we are an even greater scourge."

"To be honest, whether I stay here to die or go out, I'll still die. I might as well die a worthy death, a glorious death."

The leopard zombie said somewhat resentfully.

"No, we still have value. Our immortality is our greatest value."

After hearing what the peacock zombie said, both the elephant zombie and the leopard zombie were dumbfounded.

Ah, are we valuable and useful to the Yan Kingdom?
is this real?
The zombies all questioned this.

Do you know the origin of this inspection team?

Do you know why Yan Kingdom suddenly started to get serious?

"We were all living in peace until Yan Kingdom suddenly sent out an inspection team. Do you all know why?"

The peacock zombies questioned them one after another.

Then the python zombie and the rhinoceros zombie also came over. They had been hiding in the shadows, eavesdropping on the zombies' conversation.

Those who have come out now represent that they also want to hear what the peacock zombies have to say.

These five are the top-tier existences among the alien zombies.

Mao Shiba pioneered the concept of alien beast zombies.

They stole the corpses of many strange beasts, suppressed their souls with Soul-Suppressing Nails, and buried them in the Corpse City Yin Sha Formation.

It took hundreds or thousands of years of refining to create this finished product.

Its combat power is terrifying, but the refining process requires a lot of rare and precious materials.

After Mao Shiba refined a batch of alien beast zombies, he was urgently ordered to stop.

The giant python zombie, rhinoceros zombie, elephant zombie, peacock zombie, and leopard zombie are the previous incarnations of the eighth-tier Titan Devouring Python, Gravity Rhinoceros King, Brute Force Mammoth, Five Elements Peacock, and Gale Leopard King.

Each of them was a renowned figure in life, but after death they were humiliated by Mao Shiba and turned into seventh-order zombies.

Every day, they endure the excruciating pain of being torn apart by the Soul-Suppressing Nails, a pain that pierces their very souls and makes them wish they were never born.

"To be honest, that's just a guess."

"But I think my guess is 70% correct."

"You should know what the most important preparation for Yan Kingdom right now is?"

Many zombies shook their heads; they had always lived in the zombie city and didn't really have their own channels of communication.

Unlike the Peacock Zombie, it can control the Hummingbird Zombie to sneak past the guards and roam outside.

"I have learned a top-secret piece of information: the Yan Kingdom is now paying great attention to the Sea God Abyss."

"The armies of demons and angels will soon descend upon the Abyss of Poseidon."

"This time, the Yan Kingdom's leadership does not want to be stabbed in the back by a powerful family that is disobedient to orders."

"So they plan to make an example of someone before the war in the Sea God Abyss even begins, to warn all the other forces."

"And our Mao family, unfortunately, has been targeted by the higher-ups of Yan State."

"After all, the underground emperor of the southwest is someone that the Yan Kingdom's high-ranking officials are quite wary of."

"That's why the inspection team came."

The peacock zombie clutched its own feathers and said with great pride.

"So we're the chicken?" The giant elephant zombie seemed to understand and interjected.

“No, we little Karami are not qualified, but the Mao family is.”

"To turn the tide and wipe out the Mao family quickly would not only demonstrate the strength of the Yan Kingdom to the outside world."

"This is the origin of the inspection team."

At this point, the leopard zombie wondered, "What does this have to do with us?"

"I don't want to become cannon fodder in the clash between the two major powers."

The peacock zombie shook its head: "Wrong, wrong, wrong."

"Why should we become cannon fodder? Why don't we just stand by and wait for the Mao family to be destroyed, then volunteer to suppress the Sea God Abyss?"

"To be honest, we haven't drunk the essence blood of high-ranking angels yet."

"I wonder if drinking the essence of the angels will give us a chance to be resurrected?"

"If we can get in touch with a famous beast master in Yan Kingdom, we will have a chance to survive."

"This is what the peacock zombie is analyzing," the peacock zombie explained.

The news gradually spread, and many zombies with consciousness heard about it.

They also didn't want to stay on the Mao family's big ship.

If it weren't for the Mao family sealing off the Corpse City and setting up a barrier around it...

Those zombies probably defected long ago.

At this moment, somewhere in the city of corpses.

A low-level zombie hopped and skipped its way here.

Seeing that no one was around, he quickly crawled into a well.

There is also a hole near the water source of the well.

The person quickly crawled inside, and after twisting and turning, arrived at a cave.

There is another person here, putting on makeup in front of a bronze mirror.

“Brother Ye, we’ve been staying at the Mao family’s place for quite a while now.”

"Still haven't found out where the Sun and Moon Divine Pearl is?"

"I can't take dressing up as a zombie every day anymore."

"There are also treasures like the Angel Robe and the Soul-Suppressing Bell."

These two are the former Kui Mulang and Xin Yuehu.

In order to revive her younger sister Zhang Tianan, Xin Yuehu followed Kui Mulang to the Corpse City after hearing that it possessed the Sun and Moon Divine Pearl, which could bring zombies back to life.

"Over the years, we have explored almost all the restrictions around us."

"I suspect that the Sun and Moon Divine Pearl is in the coffin of the Mao family patriarch."

"However, that coffin is covered with a lot of restrictions, so ordinary zombies can't get close to it."

"There are at least eight more Corpse King guards inside."
