Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

If Ba Shu harbored any lingering doubts about the imminent depletion of his spiritual energy, he faced a crucial juncture he couldnt afford to ignore.

Two flying zombies, one from the front and the other from the back, launched simultaneous attacks. The first aimed to tear at the back of his neck with its claws, while the second sought to bite at his arm with its gaping mouth.

Caught off guard, Ba Shu reacted swiftly, rolling and grabbing a companions hand to s.h.i.+eld himself from the front-charging zombie.

The unfortunate individual whose arm Ba Shu seized was Old Pa, an old student from Hong Estate Academy.

Witnessing the perilous situation, Huang Sheng roared urgently, What are you doing? Old Pa, move!

However, entangled by the quilt, Old Pa had no chance to escape. As the flying zombie closed in, poised to bite his chest, Old Pa couldnt help but let out an anguished howl in his heart, contemplating the untimely end of his life.

Never did he antic.i.p.ate finding himself in such dire straits when he ventured into the secret realm in search of opportunities. Old Pa had meticulously prepared for this journey, investing significant effort to catch the Shrines attention.

Reflecting on this, sorrow filled Old Pas heart.

Clang! A resounding noise echoed.

Startled, Old Pa snapped out of his reverie, realizing that the flying zombie in front of him had been pierced through the back of its head by a black crossbow bolt.

The black crow-gold arrow extracted a core as it pa.s.sed through, embedding it forcefully into the ground.

Qiao Mu approached, casually plucking the crow-gold arrow along with the core. Turning to Ba Shu with a cold stare, she then directed her sharp words at the stunned Old Pa, Why are you standing there in a daze? If you dont know how to save yourself on the brink of death, dont expect others to be generous enough to save you.

Reprimanded by a young lady, the old mans face reddened. Yet, upon reflection, he couldnt escape the pangs of shame.

Indeed, in the midst of the most perilous moments, he failed to consider self-preservation. Instead, he found himself lamenting the arrival of spring and autumn in his heart. The realization that a young lady outshone him in strategy left him truly embarra.s.sed.

Ba Shu, momentarily stunned, forcefully thrust his broadsword into another flying zombies head. He ruthlessly stabbed it multiple times, seemingly venting his frustration.

Upon withdrawing the blade, he opened the zombies head, only to find no traces of a core. Not every zombie bore a core in its head.

Aware that cores could enhance special abilities, individuals with unique skills valued them highly in the black market. Ba Shu, disheartened, wondered why he was so unlucky, especially after witnessing the young lady effortlessly extract multiple zombie cores.

Frustration mounting, Huang Sheng rushed to Old Pas side. He turned to glare at Ba Shu, demanding, What were you doing just now? Huh?

Witnessing Huang Shengs accusatory gaze and antic.i.p.ating a barrage of curses, Ba Shu couldnt help but internally curse himself.

However, mindful of Huang Shengs a.s.sociation with Crown Prince Mos team, Ba Shu put on a strained smile and said, Heh, brother, its a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding.

Misunderstanding? I saw you using Old Pa as a s.h.i.+eld against the zombies with my own eyes.

Do you have any sense of decency?

What decency!
