The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 246 The Terrifying Flying Zombie and Li Zhen's Desperate Struggle
The thing, carrying an extremely terrifying aura of death, swept low through the alley like a large, wingless bird.

Upon hearing "Fukang County" and sensing that terrifying aura of death, Li Zhen was certain that he was in "The Great Zombie Era".

So this calamity must be this flying zombie right in front of us.

The moment Li Zhen sensed the flying zombie, he naturally knew that his doom had arrived.

This calamity is many times more dangerous than the last one.

"Hide it well!"

Without time to think or make arrangements, Li Zhen grabbed the bewildered Zhou Le'an and threw him into the house.

Just then, the terrifying flying zombie attacked.

A strange cry emanated from Li Zhen. In an instant, his body began to writhe like a demon. Centered on him, the air within a meter around him distorted, and a massive evil aura carrying black flames shot into the sky from his body.

Without a sound, the flying zombie that swept in from the sky crashed into Li Zhen.

Li Zhen was knocked back two or three meters and crashed into a wall.

The excruciating pain in his back made his vision go black, and he almost coughed up blood.

If he had been prepared, he wouldn't have been in such a sorry state.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have a single minute to prepare now.

The flying zombie slowly landed from the sky, its tattered official robes fluttering on its body, its hair disheveled behind it, and its face covered with holes oozing scarlet slime, making it look extremely ferocious.

It slowly turned its head and looked at Li Zhen, its pockmarked face revealing an extremely human-like longing.

Li Zhen could tell at a glance that this guy wanted to suck his blood, and perhaps also wanted to absorb the corpse energy of the vampire.

This guy must have originally been moving around not far away, and only rushed over because he sensed the high quality of the blood food and the pure corpse energy of the vampire.

Since practicing black magic, Li Zhen has always been the one to seek out ghosts or evil spirits in any world he goes to. This is the first time that something else has come knocking on his door.

Li Zhen slowly stood up from the ground and looked solemnly at the flying zombie.

The main plot of "Zombie Era" is very simple.

The world is in chaos, and all kinds of evil spirits and zombies are taking advantage of the situation to wreak havoc. So Master Ji led his disciples down the mountain to various places to eliminate zombies and monsters.

Fukang County has excellent feng shui and has been the burial place of high-ranking officials and nobles since ancient times.

Master Ji and his companions discovered a general's tomb here and planned to dispose of the general's body before it turned into a zombie. However, when Master Ji went down into the tomb, the body had already turned into a zombie.

Once the zombie appears, it can suck the life essence of living people from a distance.

After consuming the life essence of many people, it became even more terrifying, capable of flying and burrowing underground.

Most of Master Ji's disciples in Xiashan were killed by zombies, and only his four direct disciples, Feng, Lei, Yu, and Dian, survived.

Left with no other choice, Master Ji took advantage of the swampy environment in the cemetery, ignited the swamp gas, and prepared to perish together with the zombie. However, the zombie was not killed by the explosion, but instead hid in Fukang County.

The flying zombie had already developed a certain level of intelligence. It used the Jiang family's old house as its hideout, hiding in secret places during the day and going out to hunt for food at night, quietly killing countless people.

Judging from the zombie's bloody appearance, it must have absorbed the life essence of many people, making it many times more terrifying than when it first turned into a zombie.

What's even more frightening is that the more life essence this zombie drinks, the more intelligent it seems to become. Not only does it know where it's safe to hide, but it can also adjust its attack methods according to the opponent's moves, making it completely different from other zombies that are stiff and only know how to suck blood.

The flying zombie exhaled a breath of corpse energy, remained stationary, and suddenly slid towards Li Zhen from its spot, while simultaneously opening its mouth to inhale.

Even from several meters away, Li Zhen could feel that his soul was slightly affected, and his blood flow was also affected, causing his body to feel a slight swelling, as if his blood was about to fly out of his pores.

The evil energy surged, eliminating the effects of the flying zombie on him.

An ordinary person would have been dead by now, which shows how terrifying flying zombies are.

Upon receiving Li Zhen's order, the trembling vampire roared, suppressing its primal fear, and lunged at the flying zombie, temporarily blocking it.

In this situation, not being physically strong enough is the biggest problem...

Li Zhen adjusted his state, ripped off the cloth strip wrapped around his neck, revealing a yellow paper covered with incantations wrapped around his neck.

Wrapping only in yellow paper strips was too conspicuous, so Li Zhen wrapped it with another layer of cloth strips to conceal it.

He hadn't been practicing the Flying Head Curse for long, and hadn't officially taken his head off his neck yet. His aura hadn't been greatly affected. Under his cover, neither Chen You nor Zhang Dashao behind him noticed anything wrong with him.

Or rather, he had too many problems, and neither Chen You nor Zhang Dashao noticed the abnormality on his neck.

Once the vampire clashed with the flying zombie, it was immediately put under pressure and in a dangerous state.

Zombies mostly fight each other through hand-to-hand combat, relying on their invulnerable bodies.

In this respect, vampires cannot gain the upper hand.

The flying zombie could easily absorb the corpse energy from the vampire, thus suppressing the vampire.

With a "bang," the vampire zombie was knocked back by the flying zombie, leaving a sizable hole in a wall to the side.

As the vampire's corpse energy dissipated after being defeated, the flying zombie took a deep breath and inhaled the corpse energy from the vampire into its own mouth.

The vampire let out a painful roar.

Two twin female ghosts also appeared on the vampire's face, simultaneously emitting shrieks.

A powerful surge of resentment erupted from the vampire, and wisps of corpse energy gathered around it once more, drifting around it like black flames.

With its powerful aura resisting the flying zombie's sucking power, the vampire zombie pounced on the flying zombie like a phantom, its arms with sharp nails suddenly piercing into the flying zombie's body.

Even flying zombies are not truly indestructible.

Powerful magical artifacts can damage its body.

The vampire's arms can also injure its body, but they don't seem to do much damage.

Crimson, viscous liquid flowed from the abdomen pierced by the vampire, but the flying zombie's movements were not affected at all. With a push of its arms, it sent the vampire flying.

The vampire slammed backward against the wall again, and the two female ghosts vaguely appeared on its body, almost being knocked out of the vampire's body.

Meanwhile, the wound on the flying zombie's abdomen was wriggling and healing.

The vampire zombie was indeed extraordinary, even surpassing the hairy zombie. With the help of the two female ghosts, it could even fight the flying zombie, but it was still no match for the flying zombie and could not inflict any fatal damage on it.

This can't go on...

Li Zhen ripped off his coat and T-shirt, removed the talisman stuck to his body to suppress the evil thoughts he unconsciously emitted, and then, while chanting a spell, took out a jar from behind the banshee, took out some sticky liquid, and smeared it on the yellow paper band wrapped around his neck.

The commotion here is quite significant and has already attracted the attention of several households in the surrounding area.

Hearing the commotion coming from those houses, Li Zhen knew something was wrong.

No matter how many people come, it's useless; they're just providing food for the flying zombies.

He summoned the Mahjong Ghost and ordered it to deal with those people.

The Mahjong Ghost is useless here.

The red-eyed bat, which had been waiting impatiently, finally received Li Zhen's order and pounced suddenly, transforming into a black straight line. It attacked the flying zombie's face with a sneak attack, opened its mouth, and let out a "silent" shriek.

No one could "hear" the cry.

But at that moment, even Li Zhen, who was a little further away, felt a sharp pain in his head, as if someone had vigorously stirred something inside his head. The demonic fetus, which had been hiding around the flying zombies and preparing to launch a sneak attack, also revealed itself, clutching its ears in pain.

The rotten cat, which it was holding, was in even worse shape and fainted immediately.

Since the red-eyed bat successfully molted, it has never used its cry at full power because it is too destructive, difficult to control, and easy to harm innocent people if used.

This time, Li Zhen did not restrict it.

After the red-eyed bat emitted its whistling sound in this posture, almost all the damage was absorbed by the flying zombie, so the damage was naturally not light.

In an instant, Fei Jiang's forehead and eyes exploded simultaneously, leaving two terrifying holes in his forehead and eye sockets.

The scarlet slime splattered everywhere.

At such close range, it's impossible for the red-eyed bat to avoid the slime.

The splattered slime left corrosive holes on its body.

Startled, the red-eyed bat tried to fly away, only to find that it could no longer fly.

A rotting, swollen arm grabbed one of its wings.

The red-eyed bat struggled frantically, but could not break free from that grasp.

Even if its head and eyes explode, even if its brain turns into a mess, it won't affect its movements.

With its arm raised, it was about to put the red-eyed bat into its mouth.

The red-eyed bat let out several sharp cries, causing the flying zombie to pause in its movements.

Li Zhen felt a pang of anxiety as he plunged a long needle into his neck.

The red-eyed bat hadn't made a move for a long time, but when it did, it wanted to kill the flying zombie completely.

Unfortunately, it failed to do so and, due to carelessness, fell into a trap.

Actually, you can't blame it for being careless. If it weren't for flying zombies, which are monsters whose heads can be broken without any effect, everything else would have been dead by now.

In fact, Li Zhen hadn't expected that the flying zombies were so terrifying that they could remain unaffected even after being injured in the head.

The fact that the red-eyed bats got into trouble is something that Detective Li cannot accept.

He pressed the long needle on his neck completely into his flesh, then reached behind the banshee and took out a talisman sword.

To deal with evil creatures like flying zombies, we still need to use righteous methods...

The succubus received Li Zhen's order and took a few steps forward.

At the same time, her hands rose and, like her body, began to swing in bizarre postures, as if she were performing some kind of sinister dance.

Since obtaining the female demon, Li Zhen has never allowed her to exert her full strength.

This time, Detective Li did not restrict the female demon.

Under the banshee's control, the flying zombie's hand stopped on its raised head and trembled incessantly.

The red-eyed bat it was holding was still slowly approaching its mouth.

The holes in its head and eyes are slowly healing.

This guy is the most terrifying zombie Li Zhen has ever seen, bar none.

He had already reached the zombie and thrust the talisman arrow in his hand into the zombie's heart.

Although vampires have no eyes, they can sense what is happening.

With a low growl, it swung its right hand at Li Zhen.

The talisman arrow pierced through the flying zombie's right hand.

With a sizzling sound of corrosion, the flying zombie's hand melted like wax, turning into liquid and flowing to the ground.

The flying zombie felt the pain and suddenly shook its arm, sending the red-eyed bat flying.

After glancing at the red-eyed bats flying erratically in the air, Li Zhen, his face grim, quickly retreated.

One talisman arrow could only cripple one flying zombie...

wrong!

Before Li Zhen's eyes, a hand slowly emerged from the tattered sleeve of the stiffened left arm.

Arm regeneration!

This guy can not only recover from his injuries in a short time, but he can even regenerate a severed arm!
Li Zhen's expression turned even more grim.

Since entering any world, he had never faced anything so troublesome, except for demons.

The bigger problem is that he has just arrived in this world and not only is he unable to use the power of the Five Elements Compass, but he also has no chance to set up the magic arrays and talisman arrays he prepared. What he can exert now is by no means his best strength.

Retreating behind the succubus, Li Zhen took out a long needle from behind her and stabbed it directly into his own neck.

A large amount of flesh and blood spread in his eyes at a visible speed, quickly staining his eyes with a fleshy color.

If things are beyond his control, he can only pay a certain price and forcibly use the Flying Head Curse, leveraging the advantage of the Flying Head's indestructibility to drive his own evil energy and fight the Flying Zombie to the death.

The most dangerous thing about flying zombies is that if you can't defeat them, you'll have a hard time escaping.

Doing so would come at a great cost, but in that case, he should not die in the end.

However, Li Zhen was not confident that he could kill the flying zombie directly.

This is a zombie nearing its peak...

After recovering for a while, the vampire slowly walked to Li Zhen's side.

A red-eyed bat, covered in blood and riddled with holes of all sizes, landed on the banshee's head, its crimson eyes fixed on the flying zombie.

The demonic fetus also appeared in front of Li Zhen, its gaze towards the flying zombie shifting uncertainly.

The rotten cat he was carrying still hadn't woken up.

The flying zombie, whose head hole had mostly healed, turned around and took a step towards Li Zhen.

Suddenly, a wave of heat came from behind Li Zhen.

He turned around and saw flickering flames emerging from the dilapidated house behind him.

Once the fire started, it spread at an alarming speed, and soon the entire house was ablaze.

Under the oppressive heat, Li Zhen felt the hair on his body curly from the heat.

The flying zombie stopped in place.

Faced with the ever-growing flames, it hesitated somewhat.

It's clear that it's somewhat wary of the fire.

In the firelight, the burning door was kicked open, and a person wrapped in a wet quilt poked their head out, anxiously shouting to Li Zhen, "Come! Come here quickly! I... I'll help you escape!"
