When Ye Lei climbed up the shooting tower that Beanna was standing on, located at the entrance, he took out a high-powered telescope from his spatial storage, placed it in front of his eyes, and carefully observed the situation in the distance.

As his vision gradually cleared, he finally saw a shocking scene—a massive army of pythons, led by a giant python, was methodically advancing towards the shelter!

In his field of vision, the lead python stood out, its body enormous and thick, like a moving mountain.

Ye Lei estimated that, just as the radio said, the python was about 30 meters long and about 50 centimeters in diameter, making it stand out among other pythons with its astonishing size.

However, what shocked Ye Lei the most was not the size of the python, but the mysterious crystal core on its head. When Ye Lei adjusted the telescope to the python's head, he was surprised to find that the crystal core was a bright orange color.

This discovery shocked him. This orange crystal core was the mark of the legendary Corpse King. Ye Lei stared wide-eyed at the scene before him in disbelief. How should he deal with such a powerful enemy?

"Brother Lei, what do we do next?"

Standing to the side, Beanna seemed to sense from Ye Lei's serious expression that the situation was dire.

"That's a Corpse King."

Ye Lei said calmly.

"The Corpse King? Is that a zombie of a higher level than the Corpse Lord?"

This was the first time Beanna had ever heard of this word.

"Yes, it is said that the Corpse Kings have very clear consciousness, and some can even speak human language. I wonder how this one is?"

Ye Lei also learned his knowledge within the system.

"It can talk? Does that mean we can communicate with it?"

This is something Bena probably never expected.

"Let's hope so, we'll see when it gets here!"

"good"

The python-corpse king crawled at top speed, constantly sniffing the ground. It seemed particularly sensitive to the scent left by Ye Lei and his companions. As time passed, the python-corpse king got closer and closer to the refuge, and Ye Lei and his companions' situation became increasingly dangerous.

Ye Lei did not sit idly by and wait for his death. He acted swiftly, ordering the Gale Leopard, Undying Skeleton, and Poisonous Mist Serpent to guard the other three locations of the shelter, and issued a resolute command: "Even if it costs us our lives, we must ensure the safety of the shelter!"

Although these three zombie kings were powerful, they still faced immense pressure when confronted with such a terrifying python zombie emperor. However, Ye Lei did not disperse all his power.

Because the Hidden Ape King possesses a unique invisibility ability, Ye Lei decided to keep it by his side as his last trump card. In the event of a battle, the Hidden Ape King could use its invisibility ability to launch an unexpected attack on the Python Corpse King, thereby changing the course of the battle.

Less than ten minutes later, the Python Corpse King arrived at the entrance of the One-Line Sky. Under its leadership, all the pythons stopped, indicating that they knew they had arrived at the hunting grounds.

Behind him were five Corpse King Pythons! Good heavens! These five Corpse King Pythons alone would have been enough for him to handle, and now there was even a Python Corpse Emperor. Ye Lei gasped in shock.

"Attention everyone! The python army has arrived at the entrance of the shelter. Be prepared for battle at any time!"

Ye Lei informed everyone of the current situation via walkie-talkie.

"Anna, aim your sniper rifle at the core of that Corpse King. If a fight breaks out, shoot there first."

"good"

After Beanna agreed, she readjusted her scope, and the orange crystal core of the Serpent King came into her field of vision.

"Hey, what should I call that big snake by the door?"

Ye Lei took out a small megaphone and shouted, hoping to communicate with it first.

"I never expected that a mere human like you would know that I, the Emperor, can understand human speech!"

The python corpse king looked at where Ye Lei was standing and actually spoke.

"What's the big deal? I wonder what brings you and these brothers here?"

Ye Lei hoped to get some information out of him.

"You, a creature of the lowest order, what right do you have to interfere with my every move?"

It turns out that humans are so lowly in the eyes of the Corpse King.

"If you think I'm a lower being, then why do you speak our language?"

"This... consider it as a way to let you die in peace!"

Although the python corpse king possesses human consciousness, it is no match for him when it comes to verbal sparring.

"If you tell me your purpose, maybe I can help you."

"Purpose? My purpose is to kill you lowly creatures. Are you going to come out here to die, or will I charge in?"

It seems that negotiations will not be easy.

"But as far as I know, you have always lived in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Why would you suddenly come out? Perhaps the deep mountains can no longer accommodate you?"

Ye Lei hoped to use reverse psychology to obtain more information.

"So what? For me, the mighty Corpse King, it's all the same wherever I am!"

Could these pythons have really been driven out by a more powerful creature?

"Haha... So that's what happened! I thought you were so amazing."

"Stop talking nonsense. I can already smell the strong scent of humans here. After I devour you all, I'll rise again here and become a powerful overlord once more!"

It seems the Zombie King has admitted to being driven out. What terrifying creatures still lurk in these Hundred Thousand Mountains?

"You're nothing but a bunch of zombies, yet you dare to speak so arrogantly. Who will eat whom is still up in the air."

Ye Lei knew that this battle was inevitable, and it would be best to take this python corpse king for himself, but he had to make it submit first.

"A bunch of ignorant and lowly creatures, let me show you the power of my python army!"

After the Python Corpse King finished speaking, it began to arrange its troops. The five Corpse King Pythons behind it each led a group of python zombies, dividing into five directions to surround the shelter. They moved quickly and made no sound, coordinating very well.

Ye Lei and the others stood atop the shooting tower, watching everything with bated breath. They held weapons in their hands, ready to deal with the python zombies' attacks at any moment.

Although they had taken defensive measures, they still couldn't help but feel uneasy in the face of such a massive army of python zombies.

"Brother Lei, we've discovered a large number of python zombies outside the shelter."

"Brother Lei, I have a lot here too."

"Brother Lei, I have some here too, and there's also a Corpse King."

"Brother Lei, shall we start fighting?"

………

The goddesses reported the movements of the python zombies to Ye Lei through walkie-talkies, waiting for his order to fire. The atmosphere was extremely tense, and a major battle was about to break out.
