After everything was ready, Yun Mingchen moved the long swords used by Madam Yun and Master Yun to the side of the tombstone. He dispersed all the monsters and quietly left the dense forest.

After the forest quieted down, Yun Mingchen held the signal talisman in one hand and the sword stained with monster blood in the other, staring at the two corpses on the ground vigilantly.

About three or four minutes later, Mrs. Yun's body was the first to react.

Streams of crimson mist emanated from her body. Her skin, enveloped by the mist, began to become sticky, and her bones quickly melted and deformed.

Yun Mingchen was quick-witted and quick-handed. Before her body was completely covered by the red mist, he used a branch to pull her head out of the mist.

Under the gaze of the man and the cat, Mrs. Yun's body gradually turned into a pool of scarlet mucus.

The mucus squirmed back and forth, staining the pieces of cloth scattered around the corpse with it.

A few seconds later, a freshly-made monster appeared in front of the two.

The red mist returned to the monster's body. The monster slowly opened its eyes and let out a low roar.

Yu Tong and Yun Mingchen stared at the monster for a few seconds, then looked down at Madam Yun's head.

The head that was pulled out of the fog did not change at all.

Yu Tong and Yun Mingchen both breathed a sigh of relief.

The system didn't catch up and asked in confusion: "What do you mean? You know that only things covered by red fog will mutate?"

After confirming that the villain was no need for him to worry, Yu Tong retracted his head and hid in Yun Mingchen's arms to heal his injuries peacefully.

"We've never seen red fog before, so how can we know this?"

【？ 】

"Didn't we just experience the fog incident this morning? Su Feng was assassinated by Yun Mingchen and died in the fog, after which he turned into a monster."

[Yeah, then what?]

"At that time, Yun Mingchen picked up the long sword next to Su Feng's body for the sake of acting, and took his belongings away with him. Later, the monster generated by Su Feng's body appeared, and we saw clothes and fabrics that were integrated with the monster's skin. Yun Mingchen even cut off a piece to confirm that it was Su Feng's clothes. Don't you remember?"

【I remember, then what? 】

The sword Yun Mingchen had taken away hadn't mutated, but the cloth left beside the corpse had. The body part Yun Mingchen's monster had devoured hadn't changed. The remains of the corpse on the ground had, however, changed.

"This shows that the transformation of corpses into monsters has a certain range limit. Only within a certain range will the corpse and its surrounding objects transform into monsters."

I don’t understand.

'well. '

The system emphasized guiltily, "I am indeed an elite system, but our school doesn't teach this. By the way, Xiao Yu, your little brain is so quick. Were you also a good student in the past?"

Yu Tong was just about to say that his grades were average and he could only rank third in the province.

When the words came to his lips, he was stunned again.

How come he remembers that he graduated from a very prestigious university one moment, and then remembers that he went out to work when he was a teenager?

Yu Tong was stunned for two seconds, then hesitantly asked: "My dear, do you still remember what my educational background was when I died?"

The system thought for a moment and said, "You were a freshman and working a summer job with Brother Chen. Why are you asking this?"

Yu Tong said nothing, lying on Yun Mingchen's chest and lost in thought.

————

While Yu Tong was talking to the system, the bodies of Mr. Yun and Mrs. Yun had all mutated into monsters.

Yun Mingchen held the signal talisman he had found on Master Yun's body. He made a fire gesture, ignited the talisman, and threw it into the air.

The talisman paper transformed into a bright beam of light, soaring into the sky like a soaring monkey. Above the woods, an unusually conspicuous Yun family crest bloomed.

The newly created monsters, still in shock, looked up subconsciously at the sound of fireworks.

Yun Mingchen found the perfect moment and pierced the shoulder of one of the monsters with his sword. He then retreated several steps in embarrassment and knelt weakly on the ground.

His actions confused the monster, which had little intelligence.

Just then, there were bursts of wind breaking sounds coming from the dense forest.

A dozen sword cultivators wearing Yun family guard uniforms flew into the dense forest on their swords.

After receiving the signal from the head of the family, the captain of the guard who led the team rushed over narrowed his eyes and looked around.

The scene was in a mess, with traces of battles between humans and monsters everywhere.

Their young master was covered in wounds, half-kneeling on the ground, protecting his mother's head. Beside him lay a man's left arm, wearing the Yun family's patriarch's inheritance ring.

The long swords of the master and his wife were scattered randomly in the forest, and the swords were covered with the blood of monsters.

Young Master Yun, who has always been weak and obedient, seemed to be stimulated at this moment.

When the guards arrived, he was just supporting his weak body, staggering to his feet, and raising his sword to stab the monster.

The little tabby cat in his arms seemed to sense his master's pain and anger, and also growled angrily at the monster.

The captain of the guard quickly reconstructed what had happened before based on the scene.

Like before, Mr. Yun and Mrs. Yun killed the young master's friends and brought the young master here to receive love education.

During this period, some monsters broke into the dense forest through the cliffs of the back mountain and clashed with them.

In the end, the master and his wife died, and the young master survived under the protection of his parents.

The captain of the guards picked out two guards with slightly weaker strength, one to take care of Young Master Yun, and the other to go back and ask for reinforcements.

The two monsters in the dense forest were incredibly powerful. He felt the aura of a strong man in the Concentration Stage from them. No wonder the master and his wife were caught here.

The little guard flew his sword to Yun Mingchen's side and forcibly dragged him away from the battle.

Only when they retreated to the edge of the dense forest did the little guard stop and use a hand gesture to immobilize Yun Mingchen.

There was a hideous wound on Yun Mingchen's chest, which was caused by the monster he controlled.
