Maoshan World: The young marshal starts!

Chapter 296 Zombies
"puff--!"

The fiery red sword energy ripped through the darkness of the night sky with lightning speed.

The fox spirit didn't even have time to react before its head was pierced, and it collapsed to the ground dead on the spot. Then, with a bang, its whole body burst into flames.

Under the night.

Guan Shaoqing's figure slowly descended from the sky.

[Ding! You have slain a demon and eliminated a raccoon spirit, gaining 43 merit points.]

The notification sound from the Book of Creation in his mind then rang out.

This fox spirit is quite powerful, having reached the Refinement Realm. Its urine, when evaporated into the air, has a strong paralyzing and hallucinogenic effect.

The entire area around the desolate grave had long been covered in urine by the raccoon spirit, turning the area into its stronghold. Any creature that entered the area could inhale the raccoon's urine that was evaporating in the air, and if it was not strong enough, it would be immediately paralyzed and fall into hallucinations.

Chen Yulou was poisoned because he inhaled the raccoon urine that was evaporating in the surrounding air without knowing the situation.

The same goes for the black cat that was killed and had its internal organs eaten by the raccoon spirit.

The black cat had actually become intelligent and spiritual. It originally wanted to take revenge on Chen Yulou and his group, but unexpectedly, it ended up losing its own life.

However, at this moment, the raccoon spirit's corpse spontaneously combusted.

Under the scorching heat of the raging fire, the urine of the raccoon dog in the air around the desolate grave evaporated.

"call--!"

The raccoon urine that was evaporating in the air was burned and evaporated by the flames.

Chen Yulou, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly stood up and took a deep breath to recover from the numbing and hallucinogenic power of the fox urine. He then immediately turned to look at Guan Shaoqing.

"My name is Chen Yulou. Thank you for your help, brother. May I ask your name?"

Chen Yulou knew in his heart that if Guan Shaoqing hadn't intervened in time to save him, he would probably have really been doomed here. Thinking about the situation just now and the miserable state of the black cat, he couldn't help but feel a chill of fear.

After seeing Guan Shaoqing's appearance clearly, Chen Yulou was once again shocked, thinking to himself that he was truly a peerless beauty.

Chen Yulou had always been very confident in his own charm, but at this moment, seeing Guan Shaoqing in front of him, he couldn't help but feel ashamed of himself.

"President Chen, there's no need for you to be so polite. It was just a small favor, nothing to mention. I am Guan Shaoqing."

Guan Shaoqing smiled and looked at Chen Yulou in front of him.

It must be said that as the leader of the Unloading Ridge faction, Chen Yulou's demeanor was indeed extraordinary, and his appearance was similar to that in the movie.

Guan Shaoqing!
Upon hearing Guan Shaoqing's name, Chen Yulou was deeply shaken.

He was very familiar with this name; in fact, he knew it by heart.

After all, this is the name of the famous young marshal of eastern Guangdong.

Could it be the person right in front of me?

Or was it just a coincidence that the light was on?

Chen Yulou was also filled with surprise and doubt, and once again cupped his hands and asked, "May I ask if it is the young marshal in person?"

Guan Shaoqing smiled and nodded.

Chen Yulou was completely unsettled. He never expected to meet Guan Shaoqing here, and that Guan Shaoqing would even save his life.

Although Chen Yulou had never met Guan Shaoqing before, he had long admired him and felt a deep connection with him.

"So it really is the young marshal in person. Chen Yulou has met the young marshal. I have no way to repay the life-saving grace I have today. If there is anything the young marshal needs me for in the future, please feel free to ask. At that time, no matter if it is a mountain of knives or a sea of ​​fire, I will not even flinch."

Chen Yulou immediately cupped his hands again and said in a respectful and solemn tone.

"Mr. Chen, you are too kind. I just happened to be here at the right time. Moreover, Mr. Chen opened the granary to distribute grain to relieve the people of Xiangyin. For this, he even risked his life to lead the righteous men of the Unloading Ridge to the tomb at Ping Mountain. I admire such a benevolent act."

Guan Shaoqing also smiled and complimented Chen Yulou.

Hearing Guan Shaoqing's words, Chen Yulou was greatly pleased, especially since they came from Guan Shaoqing himself.

As the saying goes, a person's reputation is like a tree's shadow.

Anyone in the world today who has the nation and its people at heart admires Guan Shaoqing immensely.

"Young Marshal, you flatter me. I only wish to do something beneficial with my useless body. I dare not take credit in front of you. As for your contributions to the people, you are the one who suppressed the Qing Dynasty internally and pushed back the foreign powers externally. Your contributions are truly beneficial to the present and future generations."

The two exchanged pleasantries. "Mr. Chen, please agree. I think we can discuss other matters later. Let's clean up this matter first."

At this moment, Guan Shaoqing spoke again, his gaze fixed on the desolate grave in front of him.

"Clean it up?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou was startled, thinking to himself, "Haven't the fox spirits already been dealt with?"

The fox spirit on the ground had long since been burned to ashes.

But when he saw Guan Shaoqing's gaze fall upon the desolate grave before him, Chen Yulou's heart skipped a beat.

"What the young marshal means is that there is something inside this desolate grave."

Guan Shaoqing nodded upon hearing this: "If my judgment is correct, the corpse in this desolate grave has already become a zombie."

After saying this, Guan Shaoqing slowly walked to the desolate grave and then gently stomped his right foot on the ground with magical power.

Boom——!
In an instant, a deafening roar shook the earth, and the ground around the entire desolate grave trembled violently from Guan Shaoqing's kick.

Chen Yulou, standing behind, almost lost his balance and fell to the ground due to the tremors beneath his feet. He couldn't help but look at Guan Shaoqing with a hint of horror in his eyes.

The ground trembled with each step.

What a terrifying power this is.

Indeed, a person's reputation is well-deserved.

And after Guan Shaoqing's kick.

"Roar--!"

A terrifying roar of a corpse echoed from inside the desolate grave, which then exploded, and a terrifying zombie with an astonishing aura of death leaped into the sky from within.

This zombie is also very powerful, having reached the peak of the armored zombie level, and is only one step away from becoming a flying zombie.

If it hadn't been discovered by Guan Shaoqing this time, and had been given more time to grow, it might have really had a chance to become a flying corpse.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yulou's expression changed again. He never expected that in addition to the previous fox spirit, there would be such a terrifying zombie here. Fortunately, it was Guan Shaoqing, otherwise he would definitely have died here.

Think about this.

Chen Yulou's initial confidence in his trip to Ping Mountain gradually turned into caution.

We've already encountered so many things before even reaching Bottle Mountain; who knows what terrifying things might be hidden inside?

"Roar--"

After being forced out by Guan Shaoqing, the zombie roared and charged directly at Guan Shaoqing.

Unfortunately, although this zombie was quite strong, it was no match for Guan Shaoqing.

Guan Shaoqing merely raised his hand and circulated his martial arts bloodline, unleashing another burst of crimson sword energy. The zombie followed in the footsteps of the previous fox spirit.

[Ding! You have slain a demon and vanquished a corpse, gaining 90 merit points.]

This zombie did not appear in the original series "The Wrath of Xiangxi".

However, reality is reality and cannot be compared to movies and TV shows.

Moreover, the original series could only show a small part of the situation at Ping Mountain; it was impossible to film the whole thing.

"I never imagined that besides that fox spirit, there would be such a terrifying zombie hidden here. If it weren't for the young marshal, I, Chen, would really have died here."

Once the zombies were completely killed and turned to ashes.

Chen Yulou then stepped forward and spoke again.

"Mr. Chen, you're too kind. You were unaware of the situation before, which is why you fell for that raccoon spirit's trick. The raccoon spirit's urine has the ability to paralyze and cause hallucinations, and this desolate grave has long been covered with its urine. The air is filled with its urine. Anyone who comes here without knowing the situation will be affected just by breathing in the air. It's practically impossible to defend against."

"If General Manager Chen had known this when he first arrived, he wouldn't have been able to breathe, and the fox spirit wouldn't have been able to do anything to him."

Upon hearing this, Guan Shaoqing smiled and praised Chen Yulou, knowing that Chen Yulou, as the leader of the Unloading Ridge faction, was also somewhat concerned about his reputation.

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou suddenly realized that he had been tricked without noticing anything. It turned out that the air around this desolate grave was problematic.
