Zombie World: Starting as an apprentice of the Thunder King

Seeing this, Lin Bei's heart tightened: "Oh no, this guy's going to cause trouble again!"

To his surprise, after scanning the battlefield, the purple zombie's gaze finally locked onto Fujita.

A hint of extremely human-like violence and murderous intent flashed in its eyes.

Then, with a deafening roar, he charged towards Fujita.

"What?!"

"You idiot, you zombie! With so many people around, why are you chasing me?"

Fujita was horrified. He hadn't expected the zombie to bypass the two Taoist priests and pounce directly on him. "Stop it! Stop it!"

The remaining Onmyoji frantically tried to command their shikigami to block the attack.

But those shikigami were no match for the purple zombie; it easily shattered them one by one with a single claw.

Fujita turned to run, but the purple zombie pounced on him and grabbed his shoulder.

"Yamete!" Fujita struggled desperately.

The wind blades on the folding fan slashed repeatedly at the purple zombie, but couldn't even break its skin.

Roar!

The purple zombie let out a low growl, and terrifying corpse energy rushed straight to Fujita's face.

It then suddenly opened its mouth and bit down on Fujita's neck.

what! ! !

Fujita's screams echoed in the tomb for a few breaths before abruptly ceasing, his body quickly shriveling up and turning into a dried-up corpse.

Then it bit and killed all the other Onmyoji!

Zi Jiang licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, then slowly turned around to look at Lin Bei and Shi Shaojian.

Both men tensed up and gripped their swords tightly.

To their surprise, the purple zombie did not pounce on them.

It simply stood there, giving the two of them a cold look.

Then he let out a low growl, turned around, jumped back into his coffin, and lay down again.

Lin Bei and Shi Shaojian stood there, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"It... just went back like that?" Shi Shaojian was somewhat incredulous.

Lin Bei was stunned for a while before he came to his senses: "It seems... it doesn't have any hostility towards us."

At this moment, Lin Bei turned his head and his gaze fell on the reliefs on the walls of the tomb.

The reliefs depict a fierce naval battle, with countless ships clashing in the open sea.

The flags flying on those warships were clearly those of the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese.

"This general... must have died fighting against the Japanese."

Lin Bei pointed to the reliefs, "No wonder he was so ruthless to those Japanese slaves."

Shi Shaojian also came over to watch for a while: "So that's how it is. No wonder he's a general of our China. Even in death he's so powerful."

Lin Bei felt a surge of emotion. "He killed Japanese invaders in life and he killed them in death... This senior is truly a hero of China."

The two looked at each other and saw relief in each other's eyes.

"If that guy had been any more short-tempered, we probably would have been done for," Shi Shaojian said, patting his chest with lingering fear.

"So, he saved me?"

"Otherwise what?"

"It's still uncertain who will save whom."

Lin Bei rolled his eyes: "Senior brother, have some shame!"

"If this older brother hadn't been keeping an eye on those Japanese devils, we probably would have had to put in a lot more effort!"

"Let's go..." Lin Bei lifted his leg to walk out.

"Wait... what did that dwarf say before he died?" Shi Shaojian suddenly remembered.

Lin Bei raised an eyebrow: "He said there are things from Japan in here..."

"A tomb that would make a group of Onmyoji go to great lengths to travel across the ocean to steal must be something extraordinary."

"Let's look for it..."

The two men first bowed respectfully to the coffin: "General, we apologize for our intrusion. We will leave after we have searched the coffin and will not disturb your peace."

There was no response from inside the coffin.

Then, right in front of the person, the two ransacked their house!

The two opened each of the pottery jars and bronze vessels to examine them, not even missing the hidden compartments in the corners.

As Shi Shaojian flipped through the pages, he muttered to himself, "That short Japanese bastard said there were things from Japan here, so they should be here..."

As he was speaking, he suddenly sensed a presence behind him.

Shi Shaojian didn't even turn his head, assuming it was Lin Bei: "Junior brother, did you find anything?"

"No, my arms are sore from flipping through them." Lin Bei's voice came from the other end of the tomb.

Shi Shaojian nudged the person behind him: "Then come over and help me lift this pottery jar."

The person behind him remained motionless.

"Why don't you lift it? What are you standing there for?"

Shi Shaojian turned around impatiently and gave him a shove. "Stop dawdling!"

He turned around and met a pair of crimson eyes.

The purple zombie had somehow stood up from the coffin and was silently standing behind him, staring at him expressionlessly.

Shi Shaojian's pupils dilated sharply, his hair stood on end, and his voice trembled: "Junior...Junior Brother!!"

Lin Bei heard that Shi Shaojian's voice sounded strange, so he rushed over to take a look and froze on the spot.

"Big...Big Brother?"

Zi Jiang stood less than three feet behind Shi Shaojian, looking at the two of them expressionlessly.

"This... Big brother was sleeping soundly, why did you get up?"

"Hey...did you push it just now?" Lin Bei swallowed.

"I thought it was you!"

Shi Shaojian was almost in tears. "Why didn't you say so sooner!"

The two stood rooted to the spot, not daring to move. The purple zombie stared at them for a while, then suddenly let out a low growl.

Then he turned and jumped toward the wall on one side of the tomb.

It slammed its claw into the wall, shattering the bricks and revealing a small, palm-sized hidden compartment.

A jade box was placed in the hidden compartment, emitting a faint spiritual light.

The purple zombie roared at the two of them twice more, then turned around and jumped back into the coffin, and the coffin lid closed again.

"Is it... telling us to take that jade box?" Shi Shaojian asked tentatively.

Lin Bei walked over and carefully picked up the jade box and opened it.

Inside lay something completely black, about the thickness of a baby's arm.

Its surface is smooth and it exudes an extremely strong medicinal fragrance.

"What is this thing?"

Lin Bei's eyes widened in surprise. "Big and thick... and all black..."

Then I smelled it carefully...

"It smells like a pill made from some kind of elixir."

"Moreover, the medicinal properties are very strong; it's something that's been around for at least several hundred years."

Although this thing in front of me is a good thing, I just can't bring myself to eat it!

Shi Shaojian also chimed in, "This is huge! We've struck it rich!"

Before Lin Bei could react, Shi Shaojian had already reached out, broken off a third of the piece, and stuffed it into his mouth.

She puffed out her cheeks and glared at Lin Bei: "What are you looking at! Your share is over there!"

"You beast...you ate it before you even knew what it was?"

"It's not poisonous anyway, I'd accept being poisoned!"

Shi Shaojian had a reckless expression on his face, and even raised an eyebrow at Lin Bei in a provocative manner, "If you don't eat it, I'll take the rest."

Lin Bei looked at the remaining two-thirds in his hand, and his lips twitched twice.

This guy is a bandit; he even dares to snatch and eat things of dubious origin.

"Sigh, eat up, eat up!"

"At worst, we'll just have the old man come and collect the body!"

"Let's share the good times!"

Shi Shaojian spoke indistinctly, and as soon as he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed.

A massive surge of spiritual energy exploded within his body, causing his meridians to ache terribly.

"Holy crap! That's...that's amazing!"

He quickly sat down cross-legged and began to refine the spiritual energy by circulating his cultivation technique.

Seeing this, Lin Bei forgot about scolding him and swallowed the rest of the pills in one gulp.

The moment the pill entered his mouth, a tremendous power exploded within him, several times stronger than what Shi Shaojian had endured.

His meridians had undergone several temperings by spiritual energy, but under the impact of this spiritual energy, they were still stretched and developed several cracks.

"hiss……"

Lin Bei's face twitched in pain. He gritted his teeth, sat cross-legged, and began to circulate the Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture, guiding the spiritual energy along his meridians.
