Excessive ferocity due to caution

After discussing the invasion of the ruined city with the warehouse ghost, the warehouse ghost was still somewhat uneasy:

"Master... if we refuse the entertainment company, I'm afraid they'll cause us trouble later."

Entertainment companies are formidable giants in the chaotic world. Even if the big shots at the top might not notice Zhao Yi so quickly, even someone at the middle level can cause great trouble for the Jie Sect!

"Don't destroy this letter yet..."

Zhao Yi said.

"Let's keep it for now."

"I feel there's something fishy about this..."

"With the power of entertainment companies, they don't need us to get involved in the business of the abandoned city."

"Just be extra careful."

"...When soldiers come, we'll use earth to block them; when water comes, we'll use generals to hold it back."

The warehouse ghost nodded in acceptance.

After being pointed out by Zhao Yi, he suddenly realized it.

If an entertainment company, such a behemoth, really wanted to get involved in the business of the ruined city, why would it need to find the Jie Sect now and go to such great lengths?

Wouldn't it be better to just find the big shots in the abandoned city?

Unless they have a grudge against each other.

But it's probably not that likely.

By the standards of player guild power, only the three major guilds—Blowing Horns, Skyward, and Demon Ruins—have the resources to go against the entertainment company.

Previously, these three major guilds had all shown considerable respect when facing the church.

This shows that they value interests very much.

Unless absolutely necessary, they will not break ties with a powerful force comparable to the church.

Therefore, the entertainment company's motives are very strange.

If they were looking for Zhao Yi to participate in some reality show, Zhao Yi wouldn't find it strange at all.

But they want to do business with Zhao Yi.

After putting aside the matter here for the time being, Zhao Yi rushed to Xie Mountain.

I met Chen Fei there.

The two hadn't seen each other for some time, but when they met again, Chen Fei's face was still beaming with a warm and enthusiastic smile.

"Big brother!"

He spoke in a muffled voice, recounting to Zhao Yi the strange encounter he had in the Evil Mountain.

—That corpse covered in black hair.

"He was dressed as a priest..."

"He carries a scroll of scripture on his person."

"His skin was as smooth as a plastic mannequin's, but it was covered with cracks, from which many black hairs grew."

"The ghost who approached the corpse and the assassin who went to investigate... have all mysteriously disappeared."

Zhao Yi pondered for a moment and then asked:

What is the terrain like nearby?

"Are there any strange buildings?"

Chen Fei replied:

"There aren't any strange buildings..."

"There were no ruins nearby, and the body lay in that pile of dirt, without even a coffin, as if it had been abandoned..."

"But if it were an abandoned corpse, the clothes on the body and the scriptures in the arms wouldn't be so neatly arranged..."

Zhao Yi stroked his chin and said to Chen Fei;

"Take me to see it."

Chen Fei nodded.

They gathered a large group of people and then set off.

Following the path carved out of the mountains and forests, we arrived at the place where the corpse had been found earlier.

It was indeed very abrupt.

Although the corpse was covered in black hair and had a hideous appearance.

But his priest's robes were exceptionally neat.

It was so neat that there wasn't even a large crease.

He held the scripture on his chest in his hands.

There is a bloody handprint on it.

Zhao Yi stared at the corpse for a long time before suddenly saying:

"wrong……"

Chen Fei, who was standing nearby, immediately stepped forward:

"What did you figure out, brother?"

Zhao Yi squinted.

A voluptuous woman suddenly appeared beside him, twitching her tongue as she walked towards the corpse.

Her sudden appearance made Chen Fei tense up!

Fortunately, Zhao Yi appeared calm and composed, leading Chen Fei to deduce that this woman was likely also a member of the Jie Sect.

My elder brother's status within the Jie Sect is quite extraordinary...

At this moment, he was still unaware that Zhao Yi was the leader of the Jie Sect.

Zhao Yi deliberately concealed his identity from this passionate young man.

It's not too late to reveal it when the Jie Sect has grown stronger in the future.

Now is the time to need manpower, and a loyal and capable worker like Chen Fei... we might as well take him.

Chris approached the corpse, carefully examined it for a moment, and lazily said:

"There's nothing wrong with this body..."

"on the contrary……"

"If it weren't for this body in this place... your situation would be far more complex than just a few people going missing..."

Chen Fei scratched his head:

"What you're saying, young lady, is that this hairy corpse protected us?"

Chris glanced at him and licked her red lips:

"You've unearthed a haunted tomb."

"The reason this corpse looks so out of place is because he used his body and the scripture in his arms to suppress the evil spirits in the tomb..."

"He lay down here by himself..."

"And strictly speaking, it's not a corpse."

"It's not dead yet."

Chen Fei was startled upon hearing this.

Those accompanying him looked at the corpse on the ground and inexplicably took a step back.

Chris crouched down and gently touched the corpse's eyelids with her fingertips.

"If I'm not mistaken, those who went missing have now appeared in the haunted tomb beneath our feet!"

A strong sense of foreboding enveloped Chris.

He wanted to lead her into the cemetery beneath his feet.

However, Chris is not someone it can simply take away as it pleases.

In addition to her near-Great Ferocity level strength, Chris herself possessed many of the Taotie's powers.

Furthermore, since she herself is an embodiment of the consciousness of an evil god, this curse and ominousness have almost no effect on Chris...

Chris stepped on the corpse, then looked up at Zhao Yi:

"Master...should we go down and take a look?"

"This ominous concentration might very well be burying a dead, monstrous creature!"

Zhao Yi looked at Chen Fei:

"Shall we go take a look?"

Chen Fei rolled up his sleeves and chuckled:

"Wherever my brother goes, I'll go..."

"The bloodline crystal my elder brother gave me last time awakened quite a few abilities in me, so I can give it a try..."

Chris gently extended her toes beneath the corpse.

One hook.

The black-haired corpse just flew up!

Beneath it, a narrow staircase leading underground appeared...

After a few breaths, the steps became wider and wider.

A strange sigh came from the darkness below, sending chills down their spines!

"A very dangerous tomb, it's extremely dangerous inside. Once you go in, you might not come out... Master, have you thought it through?"

Chris gave Zhao Yi a flirtatious, slightly provocative wink.

boom!

Zhao Yi went up and kicked her in the butt.

Chris let out a cry and tumbled down the stairs...

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yi and Chen Fei also entered...

P.S.: I went to play games today.

I played King of Glory tonight and lost so much I'm numb.

So annoying!

But you still have to keep smiling!

A few bastards insulted me.

I'm so angry!

But you still have to keep smiling!

Goodnight, my darlings!
