The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 245 Descends on "The Great Zombie Era" and Flying Zombies Attack!

The demonic fetus appeared beside the rotten cat, its eyes fixed on the cat, its expression unusually serious.

The rotten cat's expression turned into a human-like look of disgust. It trembled for a moment, as if it were not used to this body. Its body began to throb uncoordinatedly, as if the soul inside was about to fly out of its body.

Suddenly, the cat's expression changed, and it let out a miserable scream.

The one that was initially looking down was probably the cat demon; the one screaming now is the true form of the rotten cat.

The Rotten Cat is an evil creature created by humans to ruin people's feng shui. It only has its soul in this rotting body, and the cat demon itself also only has its soul. Once it enters the Rotten Cat's body, it naturally wants to devour the Rotten Cat's remaining soul.

The demonic fetus grabbed the rotten cat by the neck.

The rotten cat's expression changed, and it bared its teeth and claws at the demonic fetus.

Despite being bound by the double seals of Young Master Zhang and Detective Li, this cat was still more terrifying than before, and even the demonic fetus had difficulty restraining it for a while.

The demonic fetus reached directly into the rotten cat's abdomen and removed a bone from it.

"Believe it or not, I can dismantle this body, put it in a jar, and imprison it in the toilet for a few days?" The demonic fetus's voice was soft, but its words were extremely vicious.

A look of panic appeared on the rotten cat's face.

It bared its teeth and claws at Li Zhen, letting out a few screams, as if to say that Li Zhen was untrustworthy.

Li Zhen, who was packing his things, ignored him.

The demonic fetus sneered, "Once you enter here, you'll be completely at my mercy. It won't help you find anyone else."

It tapped the rotten cat on the head.

With the rotten cat backing down and not scratching it, it said with satisfaction, "You're not allowed to devour its soul, or you'd better be prepared to spend a few days in the toilet. You can also try to see if I can devour you."

The demonic fetus opened its mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth. Suddenly remembering something, it muttered to itself, "Wait a minute, a cat's body can contain you, and my body can contain you too. Why don't you just enter my body?"

The rotten cat shook its head, returning to its original form, and then gave the demonic fetus a fawning look.

The demonic fetus tossed the rotten cat to the ground with satisfaction and said smugly, "You are not allowed to come out without my permission."

These words were clearly spoken by the cat demon inside the rotten cat's body.

The rotten cat rubbed against the demonic fetus.

Watching the interaction between the rotten cat and the demonic fetus, Young Master Zhang and Luo Jianming exchanged bewildered glances for a while.

Luo Jianming felt it was strange, while Zhang Dashao felt it was bizarre.

It's one thing if the evil spirits and malevolent creatures you raise don't turn on you, but how come they can even attack each other?

Out of the corner of his eye, Zhang Shao saw the vampire abandon the drained corpse and exhale a foul-smelling stench. Sensing something was wrong, he said to Li Zhen, "Brother, this zombie's condition is off. It's too ferocious. Is it about to turn on us?"

The vampire's crimson eyes turned to Young Master Zhang, and it sniffed.

Young Master Zhang suddenly felt as if his soul was being pulled out.

These zombies are truly terrifying.

He shielded Luo Jianming behind him and slowly retreated to the wall.

Li Zhen walked towards the vampire.

Once the vampire begins to recover, it will definitely turn on you.

Detective Li was not surprised by this.

As Li Zhen approached, the vampire opened its mouth and roared at him.

The two female ghosts materialized on the vampire's body and roared at Li Zhen.

A powerful resentment emanated from them, causing the temperature here to drop rapidly.

The vampire was trembling uncontrollably, and its hands were twitching, clearly showing its struggle.

When Li Zhen stood in front of it, it ultimately did not attack him.

Li Zhen reached out and touched the vampire's forehead.

The vampire's eyes suddenly closed, its corpse aura gradually receded, and it stood motionless in place.

Li Zhenyi reached out his hand.

The red-eyed bat, which had been wandering around somewhere, flew back and landed on Li Zhen's hand. Its red eyes looked at Zhang Dashao and Luo Jianming, startling the two of them again.

They had only seen a black shadow flash by before the cat demon encountered trouble, and now they realized that the shadow was actually a very evil bat.

Knowing how terrifying red-eyed bats were, Young Master Zhang lowered his head after coming into contact with one, avoiding eye contact.

Noticing that Luo Jianming's expression was somewhat dazed, he quickly reached out and covered Luo Jianming's eyes, sternly reminding him, "Don't look!"

Luo Jianming shuddered, his eyes regained their clarity, and he lowered his head in lingering fear.

Only after seeing Li Zhen hide the red-eyed bat in the basket did Young Master Zhang dare to look up.

After a moment's hesitation, he said to Li Zhen, "Brother, you might have to stay in Hong Kong for a few more days? Wherever you go, I'll go with you, how about it? If something happens to the cat demon, I can take the opportunity to eliminate it with an arrow."

Li Zhen nodded indifferently: "Sure, if the cat demon doesn't cause any trouble before I leave, I hope you can lend me the arrow."

He knew that Young Master Zhang was not giving up and wanted to find an opportunity to kill the cat demon.

Li Zhen actually knew about the cat demon's condition and that the cat demon was not honest, but it didn't affect him much.

Young Master Zhang glanced at the bow and arrows in his hand and said with some reluctance, "I haven't used a single arrow yet. I hope to keep one as a souvenir, and you can have the other two, brother."

Li Zhen thanked him.

Back at the car, Zhang Dashao and Luo Jianming got in with Li Zhen.

After sensing for a moment, Li Zhen drove the car towards a remote suburb.

A dozen minutes later, he parked the car next to a gloomy cemetery and got out with the vampire and the banshee.

Young Master Zhang and Luo Jianming also got out of the car.

Looking at the eerie and terrifying cemetery, Luo Jianming wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Young Master Zhang raising his hand.

The two followed Li Zhen into the cemetery, where they saw him begin drawing talismans on the ground.

After the talisman was drawn, Li Zhen let the vampire enter the center of the talisman, and then placed the jade talisman on the vampire's body, allowing the vampire to absorb yin energy and restore its corpse energy.

The vampire has just consumed human blood, so it recovers faster than before.

After absorbing all the yin energy in the area, it had recovered to about 80-90% of its original state, and its aura became even more ferocious.

At this point, Li Zhen, as the master, dared not stray far from the vampire.

Once he loses his close-range control, the vampire will definitely go berserk and hurt people.

After Li Zhen finished the ritual, Young Master Zhang said, "Brother, you not only asked me for the talisman arrow, but also risked being devoured to make this zombie even more ferocious, and even spared that demon cat's life. It all seems like you're accumulating power. Could it be... that you're about to face some terrifying opponent? Or perhaps an evil being?"

Li Zhen didn't hide anything: "That's right. I don't know if I can survive, so I can only conserve my strength."

Young Master Zhang exclaimed in shock, "With your skills, I don't even know if you could survive! What kind of peerless evil creature were you facing?" Li Zhen shook his head, "The world is so vast, and there are countless demons and evil creatures. Those legendary immortals might still be alive. What are my skills compared to that?"

Young Master Zhang smiled wryly and said, "My Zhang family has practiced Maoshan magic for generations. In all those generations, no one has been able to compare to you, brother. What you said is truly shameful."

"However, immortals... alas, my Zhang family has never seen an immortal in hundreds of years, and it is probably even more impossible for immortals to exist now."

Li Zhen didn't say anything.

By evening, he had taken the vampire to two more cemeteries, finally restoring it to its peak condition.

Even with Li Zhen's close suppression, the vampire still exuded a violent aura.

time to go……

Back in the car, Li Zhen took the Five Elements Compass he had left in the car, recalled the demonic fetus riding the rotten cat, and finally dragged "Uncle Dong" out of the car's trunk.

After checking and confirming that he hadn't left anything behind, Li Zhen said to Young Master Zhang, "I'll be leaving soon."

"Only staying for one day?" Young Master Zhang was a little surprised. He glanced at the rotten cat, wanting to persuade him, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

After handing two arrows to Li Zhen, he reminded him, "If the cat demon acts strangely, use these to kill it. I've observed its condition, and I'm afraid it won't be able to stay any longer in a few days."

Li Zhen shook his head: "He doesn't have that chance."

Just as Zhang Dashao was about to speak, he saw Li Zhen suddenly disappear before his eyes.

He subconsciously thought he was seeing things, so he rubbed his eyes, but still couldn't see Li Zhen.

Not only Li Zhen, but all the evil creatures also disappeared without a trace along with him.

Young Master Zhang stared blankly at him.
With his knowledge, he naturally knew that this was not a trick, but that someone had really disappeared right before his eyes.

"Master, Master, no... I'm not seeing things, am I?" Luo Jianming murmured.

Young Master Zhang was at a loss for words.

Luo Jianming turned to look at Young Master Zhang: "Master, what kind of magic is this? Can I learn it too?"

Young Master Zhang slapped Luo Jianming on the head: "You're overthinking it. Even your master doesn't know this kind of magic, how are you going to learn it? But it's good, this guy is so skilled, that cat demon won't be able to cause any trouble in his hands."

"It seems that the old man really wasn't lying to me."

"But what could possibly frighten someone like that? How strange! Do immortals really exist in this world?"

……

Without seeing the reward settlement, Li Zhen knew that he had entered a new mission world.

As his distorted vision gradually cleared, Li Zhen looked around.

It is evening now; the sun has already set for a while, and it is starting to get dark.

What Li Zhen could see were some old wooden buildings and some low houses built with a mix of blue bricks. All the houses had beams on top, making them look very rustic.

Li Zhen himself was standing in a narrow alley between the houses.

Based on what he saw, Li Zhen judged that this was not Hong Kong Island, but most likely a small town or county, similar to the setting of "The Devil's Child".

The houses here are larger in scale, and are probably larger than those in the county town.

Is the fourth tribulation, which was postponed for so many days, actually happening in this world?

After glancing at his right arm, Li Zhen led the vampires and others forward.

The person who summoned him was in a room on the left.

Stopping under the eaves of this house, Li Zhen looked at the house to his left.

The house was dilapidated, with many tiles missing from the eaves and no sign of repair. It seemed the people living inside were probably...

The room was lit by a fire, but no one spoke.

Li Zhen knew there were people inside, but he didn't say anything.

After entering this world, the sense of oppression in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

This was his instinct reminding him.

There is a great danger in this world.

Not long after, the window of the house was opened from the inside.

A dirty little face appeared inside the window, cautiously glancing at Li Zhen a few times before the window was carefully closed by the person inside.

Detective Li has already seen what he wanted to see.

Lines of text appeared before his eyes.

Last night, Zhou Le'an saw a terrifying figure pass by his front door and tear a passing man in half. This morning, he found a pool of blood there, but no one believed his story.

His older brother said he had gone out to earn money and hadn't returned home for two days, which made Zhou Le'an even more frightened.

Please investigate the whereabouts of Zhou Le'an's elder brother and completely eliminate the murderous figure that Zhou Le'an witnessed.

The description is quite detailed, but it still doesn't reveal much useful information.

Judging from the description, the thing can tear a person in half, so it's probably not a demon, but more like some kind of man-eating monster, or... a zombie?
With a creak, the door to the house was pushed open, and a thin figure peeked out, asking Li Zhen, "Do you know my older brother? Did my older brother send you back to deliver a message?"

Li Zhen turned his head to look at that person.

The man was dark-skinned and thin, making it difficult to estimate his age, but he couldn't be too old, probably around ten years old. He was looking at Li Zhen with narrow eyes, his gaze filled with a mixture of fear and anticipation.

This person is Zhou Le'an.

After Zhou Le'an peeked out, two smaller figures emerged, one a boy and the other a girl, both shorter than Zhou Le'an. Their faces and clothes were dirty, and they looked at Li Zhen with the same expression.

As Li Zhen's gaze swept across the room, he noticed that Zhou Le'an and another little boy both had braids at the back of their heads, which intensified the sense of oppression in his heart.

Due to environmental influences, whether it's a monster or a zombie, generally the earlier the era, the stronger it is.

The earliest zombies Li Zhen had ever seen were from the Republican era.

Now that he has suddenly arrived in this era, the things he will face are probably far beyond his imagination.

Not hearing a reply, Zhou Le'an became a little scared and shooed his younger siblings back into the house before saying to Li Zhen, "Didn't you come to deliver a message to us?"

Li Zhen asked in a low voice, "Where is this place?"

Zhou Le'an closed the door until it was only a crack: "This is Fukang County. Are you an outsider?"

Fukang County?
It's Fukang County!

The oppression and unease in Li Zhen's heart finally reached its peak the moment he heard the name of this place.

He suddenly turned his head and looked up at the sky above him.

A "figure" that sent chills down his spine was flying down from the sky...
