Monster Hunter, start with a wife!

The Forest of Death, at the edge of the gate.

"roar--"

The blind corpse stumbled out of the fog.

But the speed is by no means slow.

Seeing it charging towards him menacingly, Cheng Zhuo subtly activated his source power and instantly retracted the paralyzed Silver Knight.

As the bluish-black fingernail brushed against the tip of his nose, Cheng Zhuo could clearly smell a putrid, fishy odor.

He did not summon the jar.

Using the force of his sideways movement, he twisted his waist, clenched his right hand in the air, and suddenly condensed the pale purple source energy, instantly manifesting the Lone Star, which he then swung with ease!

"clang!"

The blind corpse instinctively raised his arm to block.

The moment the gun barrel collided with the withered corpse's arm, Cheng Zhuo felt a tingling sensation in his arm, as if he had struck an iron pillar.

The shock caused him to slide half a step backward, leaving two deep grooves in the decaying leaves and mud around his feet.

The blind corpse's physical strength is level 87.3.

Slightly taller than him, the force of the blow caused his wrist to ache slightly.

But the power of the epic spear was also revealed at this moment.

The pale purple spear light spread along the point of impact. Although it only overflowed a little, it plowed a long, visible gash on the blind corpse's bluish-black fingernails. Dark brown putrid liquid seeped out along the gash and dripped onto the fallen leaves, making a "sizzling" corrosive sound.

The eerie green flame inside the blind corpse's skull flickered violently, perhaps sensing pain.

"roar--!"

It roared and pounced again.

Its movements were still unsteady, but faster than before. Its bluish-black claws alternately clawed at Cheng Zhuo's vitals, each strike accompanied by a whooshing sound, forcing Cheng Zhuo to retreat continuously.

But his gaze remained cold and fixed on the blind corpse's chest—

That is the location of the blind corpse's core essence, and also its Achilles' heel.

After retreating about ten steps, Cheng Zhuo suddenly changed his move!

Instead of dodging, he leaped back several meters at lightning speed, stomped on the ground, and charged forward!

The spear spun in his hand, leaving a blur, its tip pointing at the blind corpse's skull!

The blind corpse instinctively raised its claws to protect its head.

Cheng Zhuo suddenly lowered his wrist and pressed down with his left hand, causing the spear light to suddenly increase by half a foot, piercing straight into the blind corpse's chest!

By the time it reacted, the pale purple spear light was already inches away. It couldn't dodge in time, and the spear tip precisely pierced the gap in the blind corpse's chest, right where the core of its origin was located!

"Bang—"

The moment the spear tip pierced through, a pale purple spear light shot out!

The blind corpse froze abruptly, its withered, bluish-black claws hovering in mid-air, and the eerie green flames in its pupils flickered violently a few times before quickly dimming.

With just a feint, he successfully killed the opponent.

"Low-level zombies really don't have much of a brain."

If it were a normal person, someone with a physical strength more than ten points higher than him, they certainly wouldn't be so easily killed by him.

"First-tier derivatives are not a problem to deal with without using amplification."

Cheng Zhuo was fairly satisfied with his performance, and his gaze immediately swept around.

They began to examine this ruined realm.

The forest was lush and verdant, with layers of mist floating all around, carrying the pungent smell of decaying leaves and damp earth, making any exposed skin feel sticky.

Named the Forest of Death, you can tell from the name that it is home to many undead-like monsters.

It's really strange. Could it be that I was influenced by his secondary origin?

I've entered the Void Realm three times in total, and I encountered this kind of thing on both occasions.

"...Recruitment of Corpses - Begins!"

The deep incantation echoed through the forest, carrying the chilling aura unique to the undead. The blind corpse, whose green flames in its eyes had just died out, instantly ignited a wisp of eerie blue flame and slowly rose again.

The Corpse Puppet waited at the boundary gate, and Cheng Zhuo followed a fairly well-ventilated forest path into the forest.

As we delve deeper...

The fog grew thicker.

Cheng Zhuo encountered many zombie-like beasts on the road, and he used the same method to kill them and then resurrect them.

He kept a dozen or so to guard him, and threw all the other corpses into his spatial storage for future use.

There was a giant corpse, four or five meters tall, carrying a rusty iron hammer.

There are skeleton archers wielding crossbows, shooting out fluorescent green flames.

There were also thin, lantern-carrying corpses, carrying emerald green oil lamps. Cheng Zhuo had seen these in the Endless Wasteland; they could produce blind cores.

However, most of them were blind corpses.

With this thing around, it's definitely impossible for this Void Realm to use source-power-driven firepower weapons.

Fortunately, Huangfu Bai didn't come here, otherwise he would have had to hide in the iron shell again.

Cheng Zhuo thought to himself.

He still doesn't know what's going on with Huangfu Bai.

The hundreds of millions of Silver Knight Gravity Bodies were still lying in his system space, but the other party didn't even ask about them. However, such "generosity" was indeed in line with his persona.

Since no one asked, Cheng Zhuo showed no intention of returning it.

The gravity body is very useful. Although the source core consumption is a bit high, he can afford to maintain it now.

If he had known Huangfu Bai's whereabouts, he would have even wanted to ask him to upgrade his gravity body.

After all, it's still a stripped-down version, and he feels that the firepower is almost insufficient.

Time slipped away quietly during the hunt.

along the way.

Cheng Zhuo did not deliberately pursue the "limit". He would not even take action against the alien beasts that could be dealt with by the corpse puppets. He would just observe the fighting style of the corpse puppets from the side.

Every now and then, a few would be sent back to the entrance, just in case.

He was on the verge of death, but not truly dead.

About two hours later.

There were already nearly a thousand corpses of different types lying in the system space. If it weren't for the forest fog limiting visibility, the number would have been even greater.

Just as he was wondering why he hadn't encountered the lord yet.

"Ho! Ho—"

A series of eerie sounds suddenly came from the dark, dense forest on the right.

With the hoarseness unique to the dead, like rusty iron scraping together.

Cheng Zhuo felt a chill run down her spine and quietly moved closer.

After passing through a dense layer of bushes, the view suddenly opened up.

A gaunt, human-sized monster, completely black, wielding a bone knife burning with green flames, was leaning against a dead tree root.

"Ha!"

The moment Cheng Zhuo appeared.

The bone-knife-like corpse monster immediately raised its head, its eyes bloodshot, and roared as it charged straight at Cheng Zhuo, seemingly insane.

So fast!

Cheng Zhuo was shocked; he had only seen a blur.

If it weren't for the giant hammer that was scouting ahead of him blocking his way, Cheng Zhuo would have almost activated his dragon form directly!

"How did such a powerful guy suddenly appear?"

Cheng Zhuo looked on with puzzlement:

[Ghoul Assassin - Undead]

[Realm: 1st Order Derivative]

[Biophysical Strength: 88.5] (176.0)

[Talent: Mist Concealment: Allows you to hide in dense fog and deliver a fatal blow to your enemies]

[Note: When it appears, please stay away from dense fog!]

This guy is currently in a state of overexertion and going berserk!

"Huh—"

In the blink of an eye.

Cheng Zhuo was startled to discover that there was a neat bloodstain on its forehead, with dried black blood still remaining at the edges, just like...

That day, Da Meng's skull was ripped open!

Cheng Zhuo carefully examined the past.

as predicted!

The crimson rage in the corpse monster's eyes and the violent aura in its movements were exactly the same as Da Meng's out-of-control appearance back then!

"No way..."

Cheng Zhuo felt this was a bit outrageous. "Could it be that Luo Qiyang didn't die either?"

Damn it, are resurrection items, which are so overpowered, really that common?

Or is it... just a hunter with similar abilities?

Cheng Zhuo still didn't quite believe it.

Staring at the ghoul assassin who was easily slaughtering his corpse puppets, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he activated his primal technique!

A layer of dragon scales suddenly appeared on his chest, spreading rapidly like a tide...

……

……

Outside the boundary gate H0173.

"Buzz—"

"Buzz—"...

A number of low-altitude aircraft arrived one after another, and the originally empty temporary base suddenly became somewhat crowded.

The first to land were the standard aircraft of the Hunting Ruins Administration.

The moment the hatch slid open.

An officer in a black uniform, leading several squads of fully armed Hunter's Army, strode out. His square face was as stern as an iron plate. His gaze swept over the gathered crowd, and he said in a deep voice:

"Lingxi has detected abnormal fluctuations in the internal source energy of H0173. All personnel must evacuate immediately!"

Subsequently, the aircraft of the four major guilds landed one after another.

Several senior executives walked out one after another.

Upon hearing the warning, Ren Tianxing walked solemnly to the officer's side.

"Colonel Liang Ye, what could be causing the anomaly at the Constant Realm Gate? Could it be that someone from the Shadow Society has infiltrated it?"

"Hmm." Liang Ye responded emphatically, his gaze sweeping over the high-ranking members of the four major guilds, his tone tinged with suspicion:

"You guys are well-informed; you came all this way to provide support?"

Os pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and offered an explanation:

"No, we're here for Huangfu Bai. He just joined H0173."

Liang Ye's brows furrowed slightly, and his tone became more serious:

"That S-rank rookie whom the deputy director highly values?"

"That's right," the others replied in unison.

"Oh no..."

"Whoosh—"

Just then, a huge figure suddenly emerged from the treetops at the edge of the stronghold.

The ground was shaken by the impact of its four hooves landing, sending fallen leaves flying. It was a giant azure wolf, at least two meters tall, with fur as smooth as silk. It was panting heavily as it landed near the boundary gate with a few thuds.

An old man with dark skin and white sideburns rode on the back of the giant wolf.

He glanced at the four major guilds and the few members of the Hunting Ruins Army, scoffed, and ignored them.

He walked straight toward Catherine.

"Hey, boss, what brings you here?"

Catherine hurried to greet her.

"No manners, call me Grandpa." The old man rolled his eyes at her, getting straight to the point:

How many of us are still inside?

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Catherine dropped her joking demeanor and immediately replied:

"Only ten new teams joined this morning, and only number 7 has come out so far; the others are still inside."

The old man breathed a sigh of relief:

"Is Cheng Zhuo in team number 7? It's good that he's out. Old Wang repeatedly told me to make sure Cheng Zhuo and Huangfu Bai were safely delivered to him..."

"Uh... he didn't come out."

"Huh? He switched teams?"

"No... he leveled up and went to the Forest of Death," Catherine hesitated.

"Moreover, Huangfu Bai just went in too..."

"What?!"
