Maoshan World: The young marshal starts!

Chapter 302 Vampire King

At sunset.

Guan Shaoqing and Chen Yulou's group returned to the cliff from the underground palace.

Chen Yulou and Luo Laowai, who originally intended to directly take the treasures from the underground palace, also temporarily stopped.

One reason is that although the centipede demon was killed, the tiny poisonous centipedes are still there. Although they no longer dare to emerge in large numbers as they did at the beginning, if one or two suddenly and indifferently emerge from some corner or are bitten, they will not be able to withstand it.

In addition, the gold and silver treasures in the underground palace also need to be transported out through a new route. Otherwise, they can't be transported up the cliff, as that would be too difficult and dangerous if the objects were even slightly heavy.

For these two reasons, Chen Yulou and Luo Laowai decided to temporarily stop retrieving the treasure from the underground palace and wait until they bought the rooster from the Miao village outside Laoxiong Ridge and found a new route to transport the treasure before retrieving it.

After returning to the cliff.

Chen Yulou and Luo Laowai also led their team to set up temporary camp on the mountaintop.

The result happened in the middle of the night.

"Roar--!"

Suddenly, a deafening roar of corpses rang out from the very top of Ping Mountain opposite the cliff. The terrifying sound resounded throughout the entire Ping Mountain almost instantly, like a tiger roaring in the forest, but even more terrifying and frightening than a roar.

On the edge of a cliff.

The entire camp was alerted, and many of the more timid people were so frightened by the roar of the corpse that their legs went weak and their livers and gallbladders trembled.
"The head of the team."

"The head of the team."

"."

Awakened, Chen Yulou quickly emerged from his resting tent. Upon seeing this, the members of the Unloading Ridge faction gathered around him as if they had found their pillar of support.

On the other side, Luo Laowai's army also gathered around him.

"President Chen, please step forward."

"Commander Luo."

The two groups of people met quickly, led by Chen Yulou and Luo Laowai.

"Brother Guan."

"Partridge Whistle Brothers".

Soon, Guan Shaoqing and his two fellow disciples, Partridge Whistle and his sister, also emerged from their tents.

"Mr. Guan, what was that sound just now?"

Luo Laowai immediately asked Guan Shaoqing without hesitation.

"It's a zombie. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the legendary vampire king that was transformed from the Yuan Dynasty general. It was probably attracted by the popularity of so many of us."

Guan Shaoqing spoke up upon hearing this, but his expression remained calm, and he was even a little pleased, because his main purpose in coming here, besides the centipede demon, was to find the zombie king. He hadn't expected that the zombie king would appear on its own before he even went to find it.

What pleased Guan Shaoqing even more was that, judging from the earlier roar of the corpse, the zombie king's strength had most likely reached the level of a flying corpse.

As for why this zombie king suddenly appeared?
Guan Shaoqing guessed that it was probably because so many of them had set up camp here that the strong human presence attracted the zombie king.

Guan Shaoqing's guess was correct. The Zombie King's tomb was located on the summit of Ping Mountain, opposite the cliff where Guan Shaoqing and his group had set up camp. It usually slept there. Now that Guan Shaoqing and his group had set up camp on the cliff, it was undoubtedly like setting up camp at the Zombie King's doorstep.

Moreover, Guan Shaoqing and his entourage were so numerous.

With such a strong aura of living people, how could the zombie king not sense it?

"A vampire king?!"

Upon hearing Guan Shaoqing's words, the others present exchanged glances, and many couldn't help but show fear on their faces.

"Roar--"

At this moment, a chilling howl of a zombie resounded once again from the summit of Ping Mountain opposite the cliff. Then, to everyone's astonishment, a terrifying zombie figure slowly flew out from the summit of Ping Mountain under the cover of night, looking down at Guan Shaoqing and his group below.

"Gudong-"

In an instant.

Everyone present, except for Guan Shaoqing, felt their mouths dry and their bodies chilled, as if they had been stared at by some terrifying prehistoric beast for a moment.

Chen Yulou's expression changed drastically, because he was born with night vision and extremely strong eyesight, so at this moment he could clearly see the exact appearance of the zombie figure flying out from the top of Ping Mountain on the opposite side of the cliff.

The zombie was enormous, dressed in the attire of a Yuan Dynasty general. Its face was terrifying; its deathly pale face was covered with bulging veins that looked like grotesque centipedes crawling across it. Visible stench of death spewed from its mouth, which was full of fangs, and its bloodshot eyes stared at the crowd below with bloodlust. Even a single glance at its horrifying appearance and bloodthirsty red eyes sent a chill down Chen Yulou's spine, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Chen Yulou had a strong feeling that the zombie king in front of him was even more terrifying than the centipede demon.

And Chen Yulou's feeling was indeed correct.

Guan Shaoqing could clearly sense that the zombie in front of him had definitely reached the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, and its aura was even stronger than that of the centipede demon from before.

At the summit of Bottle Mountain, the Zombie King stared bloodthirstyly at Guan Shaoqing and his companions below. Then, he swooped down like a freefalling object towards them.

At this moment, Guan Shaoqing also stepped forward, his figure soaring into the sky to meet the attacking zombie king with a palm strike.

"boom--"

A vast surge of martial arts blood erupted from Guan Shaoqing's body, instantly forming a gigantic blood-red hand that lunged at the charging zombie king.

As this enormous blood-red hand appeared, a terrifying heatwave instantly erupted, giving the impression that it would ignite the entire world. Visibly, the air around the blood-red giant hand distorted violently, as if it could not withstand the intense heat.

The zombie king, whose eyes were originally full of bloodlust and ferocity, suddenly became clear and terrified when it saw the giant blood-red hand coming towards it. It never expected that Guan Shaoqing's strength would be so terrifying. It hurriedly changed direction and tried to retreat and dodge, but found that it was too late.

"Roar--!"

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, the zombie king roared and unleashed all his power to fight against Guan Shaoqing.

Unfortunately, in the face of absolute power, all struggles are in vain.

"Rumble--"

The giant, fiery red palm descended, and in an instant, the entire void seemed to explode, with a terrifying shockwave sweeping across an area of ​​hundreds of meters.

Under Guan Shaoqing's palm strike, the zombie king instantly turned into ashes.

[Ding! You have slain a demon and eliminated a flying corpse, gaining 420 merit points.]

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

Guan Shaoqing couldn't help but feel a little happy. His trip to Ping Mountain had been worthwhile. He had gained a centipede demon at the Golden Core level and a zombie king at the Flying Corpse level, which together gave him 820 merit points.

Even after defeating the zombie king, Guan Shaoqing did not stop, and his figure continued to fly towards the top of Bottle Mountain above.

Guan Shaoqing wanted to check if there were any other zombies in the zombie king's lair.

Guan Shaoqing flew directly to the summit of Ping Mountain, and then quickly found the entrance to the Zombie King's lair by following the location where the Zombie King had appeared and the corpse aura. Inside was a huge tomb palace, which was the Yuan Tomb that Chen Yulou and his group had initially wanted to find.

The zombie king was actually the transformed owner of the Yuan tomb, who was a great general in the Yuan Dynasty.

After entering the tomb, Guan Shaoqing also began to explore.

Besides the zombie king who had already been killed, there were quite a few other zombies in this tomb. Some of them, judging from their clothing, should be Miao people from outside the Old Bear Ridge. They were probably bitten to death by the zombie king and became zombies and his subordinates.

"Roar--"

Seeing Guan Shaoqing alive.

These zombies roared and charged towards Guan Shaoqing, but as Guan Shaoqing made his move, a vast and mighty burst of martial arts true blood erupted, and all the zombies turned to ashes.

[Ding! You have slain a demon and vanquished a corpse, gaining 30 merit points...]

[Ding! You have slain the demon!]

Shortly after Guan Shaoqing had dealt with all the zombies in the tomb.

Chen Yulou, along with Hong Gu and Partridge Whistle, the three of them, also caught up first.

"Brother Guan, how is the situation?" Chen Yulou asked immediately upon seeing Guan Shaoqing.

"This should be the Yuan Dynasty tomb. The zombie king we just saw was probably the tomb's owner, that great general from the Yuan Dynasty. There were some other zombies in the tomb, but I've already dealt with them all."

Guan Shaoqing briefly explained the situation to Chen Yulou.

"Great!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou was overjoyed. Their goal in coming here was the Yuan Tomb, and now not only had they found the Yuan Tomb, but they had also found the underground palace where emperors of past dynasties refined elixirs. Moreover, the dangers in both places had been basically resolved, which was undoubtedly great news for them.

Upon hearing that it was a Yuan Dynasty tomb, the three siblings, including Partridge Whistle, immediately rushed into the tomb to search for it.
