Zombie World: Starting as an apprentice of the Thunder King

Lin Bei had just breathed a sigh of relief, but hadn't even had time to get out from under the coffin yet.

The moonlight shone again! The zombies were lured out once more!

"What the hell is going on?! Why is the moonlight sometimes there and sometimes not?!"

Lin Bei cursed inwardly. If he couldn't resist rushing forward and Yuehua suddenly disappeared halfway there, he would be truly doomed!

Inside the mortuary, Four Eyes cursed, "Damn it, someone's trying to fight me with magic!"

He then performed another ritual to gather the dark clouds together.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Santong also cast a spell, causing the corpse energy to disperse and the moonlight to return.

The two sides engaged in a war of wits from a distance, going back and forth for a full seven or eight rounds.

In a distant cave, Liu Santong's forehead was covered in sweat as his hands kept changing hand gestures.

In the mortuary across the street, Si Mu was also covered in sweat. The power of incense and Liu Santong's magic were locked in a fierce battle, one trying to obscure the moon while the other scattered the clouds.

The zombies were thoroughly tormented, jumping out to worship the moon one moment and then jumping back into the coffin to lie down the next.

A few dim-witted zombies were standing there, unsure whether to stand or lie down, clearly bewildered by the unpredictable weather.

The entire mountaintop was in chaos, with coffin lids banging incessantly, like a bunch of zombies dancing on a grave!

Lin Bei, hiding under the coffin, watched with a mixture of anxiety and amusement. Clearly, someone was using magic to trick him into a terrible mess.

Every time the moonlight appeared, he had to shrink back and dare not move. When the moonlight disappeared, he dared not rush out rashly. What if the moonlight came on again after he had run halfway?

But during the brief interval between the eighth disappearance of moonlight, Lin Bei gritted his teeth and decided to go all out!

"Now!"

Lin Bei rolled over from under the coffin, his figure transforming into a blur as he rushed towards the large coffin in the center.

His speed was incredibly fast; he stepped into the smoking coffins with each precise step.

In a few breaths, he had rushed to the front of the large coffin, instantly took out the blue talisman given to him by Four Eyes from the space stone, and stuck it on the coffin lid with a snap!

The moment the talisman was affixed, the dark luster on the surface of the coffin suddenly dimmed, and the chilling pressure inside the large coffin also temporarily disappeared for a moment.

Lin Bei grabbed the edge of the coffin lid with both hands and forcefully lifted it off!

A terrifying aura of death and malevolence rushed out of the coffin, making him lose his composure and almost causing his mind to be controlled by the malevolent energy!

Lin Beilian quickly recited the purification mantra to calm his mind and looked down into the coffin.

Inside the coffin lay a massive corpse clad in armor, towering above normal height, yet its face was remarkably similar to that of an ordinary person, a bluish-black skeleton.

But the terrifying aura emanating from him told Lin Bei just how terrifying this guy was.

The most conspicuous thing was the fist-sized bead in its mouth, which glowed with a ghostly green light and emitted a strong aura of yin energy.

Lin Bei reached into the coffin, gathered his magic power in his palm, and sucked hard at the coffin fungus.

The coffin fungus was sucked out of the zombie king's mouth. It was icy cold to the touch and carried an extremely strong, chilling aura that seeped into his body through his palm.

Startled, he quickly stuffed the coffin fungus into the jade box he had prepared beforehand, put it into the space stone, and then turned and ran!

The whole process was smooth and efficient, taking no more than seven or eight breaths from opening the coffin to retrieving the treasure.

Lin Bei turned and fled, without even closing the coffin lid.

With a burst of speed, it fled frantically down the mountain.

However, at this moment, the celestial phenomena changed drastically once again!

The battle of wits between Si Mu and Liu Santong has finally come to a conclusion.

With the help of the incense power on the ancestral master's tablet, Si Mu suddenly erupted, and a dense golden light shot into the sky, breaking Liu Santong's magic in one fell swoop!

Liu Santong's magic was broken, and he suffered another severe injury, spitting out a mouthful of black blood!

At that moment, he noticed the coffin fungus's aura had vanished, and in a fit of rage, he cast another spell: "Damn it! That's my stuff!"

"The corpse energy is broken, and the corpses come out of the coffin!"

The zombies that had just been laid back in their coffins on the mountaintop suddenly rioted!

Roar! ! !

All the coffins exploded instantly, and hundreds of zombies jumped out, chasing after Lin Bei in the direction he had fled!

Lin Bei turned around and was terrified!

Hundreds of zombies jumped up and down on the mountaintop at the same time, especially the dozen or so hairy zombies at the very front.

Each one exuded an aura stronger than Liu Santong, the purple zombie he encountered in Renjia Town!

They were incredibly fast, leaping dozens of feet in a single bound. Their greyish-white eyes were fixed on Lin Bei's back as they let out low growls.

"Oh my god! Why are they all awake!" Lin Bei ran as fast as he could down the mountain.

His figure moved swiftly and leaped among the rocks, faster than the hairy zombies.

The nearest zombie had caught up to him in less than three zhang, and the corpse gas it was spewing out could almost reach the back of his neck.

Lin Bei grabbed a handful of Flame Burst Talismans from his spatial stone and tossed them behind him without turning his head: "Flame Burst! Decree!"

More than a dozen Explosive Flame Talismans exploded simultaneously behind them, sending flames soaring into the sky and forcing the few zombies chasing at the front to retreat a few steps.

The zombies were only momentarily blocked by the firelight before they caught up again, their speed undiminished.

"Damn it! I can't break through!"

Lin Bei continued his frantic run, then took out another blue lightning talisman from his spatial stone. "Five Thunderbolts of Righteousness! Lightning Strike to Dispel Evil!"

A thick bolt of lightning shot out from the talisman and slammed into the chest of the closest zombie.

The zombie was blasted backward by the lightning, and a large charred patch appeared on its chest armor.

But it quickly got back up, without slowing down at all.

"Even the blue talisman can't break through!" Lin Bei was truly panicked.

This hairy zombie's defense is far superior to that of the purple zombie; a lightning strike talisman hit its chest and only left a slight stain!

At this moment, Lin Bei wished his parents would give him two more legs!

He ran wildly along the mountain path he had come from, rushed down the mountain, and ran desperately toward Renjia Town.

Meanwhile, dozens of miles away in a mountain forest, a middle-aged, plump Taoist priest wearing a yellow robe was meditating with his eyes closed under an old pine tree.

The Taoist priest was about forty years old, with a chubby face and three long wisps of beard, giving him a rather otherworldly and venerable appearance.

He had just passed through this place and planned to rest for the night before continuing his journey. He was sitting under a pine tree, meditating and adjusting his breathing.

As Lin Bei ran over, he caught a glimpse of a figure sitting under a tree ahead.

"Hey buddy, run!"

Lin Bei shouted from afar, his figure flashing past the man, creating a gust of wind as he passed by.

The fat Taoist priest in the yellow robe was startled by the shout and suddenly opened his eyes.

Before I could even see who it was, I felt a dense, chilling aura of death pressing down on me from behind.

He jumped to his feet, peach wood sword in hand, and shouted righteously, "What kind of demon dares to act so presumptuously here!"
