The off-road vehicle performed well, and after traveling overnight, we arrived at Saicheng, near Gula Town, the next morning.

Actually, there was still some distance between them. The reason for stopping was that Li Xuanzu's divine sense had already detected the other party's whereabouts.

When we were less than 100 kilometers away from the fifth-tier zombie, the smell in the air started to get strange.

First, a pungent, sour stench assaulted the nostrils, followed by a damp, rotting corpse smell, mixed with the putrid odor of blood.

Accompanied by gusts of foul wind, the energy within the bodies of everyone except Li Xuanzu was somewhat uncontrollably depleted.

"Ugh, it stinks!" Fu Yu covered her mouth and nose, trying to alleviate the negative effects of the stench, but with little success.

"This seems to be poison gas. My internal energy worked on its own to resist it. What about you guys?" Leng An had clearly done his homework, as he took out several gas masks and distributed them to everyone.

Actually, this was prepared by Elder Huang.

Li Xuanzu refused and got out of the car alone, seemingly unaffected.

He spread out one hand, and blood gushed out in streams, as if it had come alive, rushing towards the SUV.

A thin, translucent shroud made of blood protected the off-road vehicle, and soon all the toxic gas inside was absorbed.

"Get ready to take notes, something's not right with this zombie." Li Xuanzu frowned slightly. To be able to affect a fourth-tier psionicist from such a distance was an incredible ability.

"Li Xuanzu, be careful! If it's really as you say, and it's some distance away from us, then it definitely couldn't have just advanced to the fifth rank!" Leng An warned.

Dahei continued to control the vehicle, while Leng An turned on the recording function on his phone.

Li Xuanzu did not reply, because the poisonous gas seemed to have some effect on him.

He could feel that the oxygen-carrying capacity of his blood decreased significantly after it came into contact with these toxic gases. Although it didn't affect him personally, it did weaken the flexibility of his blood circulation.

Although the descent was not slow, the closer he got to Gula Town, the stronger the poison gas became, and the more blood he consumed increased exponentially.

If the nutrients in the blood disappear, a person will die, but for Li Xuanzu's blood, it only means that it can no longer absorb poison gas and its flexibility is reduced.

For a moment, it was unclear who was in control of whom.

There couldn't possibly be only one type of poison gas, but only this one could affect Li Xuanzu.

Forty minutes later.

Li Xuanzu saw a... no, a person?

That's right, they were completely human, unlike the third or fourth-tier zombies, who were terrifyingly pale. Their skin was a healthy wheat color, and they were tall. There was nothing about them that could be associated with zombies.

The effects of the poison gas had reached an extremely terrifying level, as evidenced by the fact that Li Xuanzu had to change the blood masks on the off-road vehicle every few minutes.

"Hey, this is my territory, get out of here!" The "person's" words shocked everyone present.

There was no other reason than that the language he spoke was the language of the Dragon Kingdom.

"A Dragon Kingdom person?" Li Xuanzu was in no hurry to make a move; the amount of blood he consumed was just a drop in the ocean for him.

"Huh? What do you mean? What are you? A human? Or a zombie?" Hearing the familiar Longguo language, the other party was completely confused.

“Hey, I was originally going to kill you, but we can talk first.” Li Xuanzu was a free spirit, so he sat down on the ground.

"Alright, brother, where's your hometown?" The "person" seemed not to have reacted yet, but sat down five steps directly in front of Li Xuanzu.

"I'd say it's across provinces, what about you?"

"You're from Sichuan Province? I heard people there can't handle spicy food, is that true?"

"I don't know, anyway, I don't really understand the houttuynia cordata in your area."

"What? I haven't even mentioned your local herbal tea yet."

"Actually, I don't understand this stuff either, but I've heard it's good for your health."

"Isn't houttuynia cordata the same?"

"I don't care, I don't understand."

"You..."

“... ..."

The two actually started chatting casually. If Li Xuanzu hadn't been using his blood to maintain the blood shield on the SUV from time to time, people might have thought they were normal people.

"Li Xuanzu...has he always been like this?" Leng An was so shocked by the scene before him that he was speechless and stiffly turned his head to ask.

"Should be...probably...maybe...right?" This time, Fu Yu was dumbfounded.

She never expected that Li Xuanzu would chat with someone about everyday matters.

"What kind of ability is this? Is it at the fifth level?" the strange man asked Li Xuanzu.

"I suppose so," Li Xuanzu replied, slowly standing up.

"To be honest, I really don't want to kill you."

"You're really confident. Don't you know I'm the only Tier 5 zombie on Earth?" The voice suddenly disappeared, coming from all directions.

A fifth-tier zombie, its appearance is exactly the same as a human.

"It's you!!!" The fifth-level zombie's voice suddenly rose several decibels.

His body, which had previously dispersed into poisonous mist, solidified again, his eyes fixed on the direction of the off-road vehicle.

To be precise, he was looking at Qian Li.

"Know him? I don't remember him." Li Xuanzu asked, somewhat puzzled, as he stood in front of the fifth-tier zombie.

"Hehehe, little girl, do you remember the third-tier zombie you released in Sichuan Province that day?" The fifth-tier zombie didn't rush to attack, but instead let out a howl.

"Red-born zombies?!" Qian Li covered her slightly open mouth with her small hand, surprised.

"Haha, I didn't expect to run into an acquaintance. You guys go ahead, I'll retreat to the non-zone and never go out again, consider it repayment for not killing me back then." The red-haired zombie turned around as if to leave, but was stopped by someone.

“Wait, I think you’ve made a mistake.” It was Li Xuanzu who spoke.

Whether you can leave or not still depends on Qian Li, the little girl you mentioned.

"Dude, you really think you can stop me?" The red-haired zombie's tone was unfriendly, but he still didn't make a move.

It did not recognize Li Xuanzu's voice; at that time, it was using Qian Gang's body, and the timbre was completely different.

“I don’t want you to misunderstand anything. You should know that I came here specifically to kill you,” Li Xuanzu said again, his hands hanging down at his sides.

This is a fighting stance.

"Hahaha, then let's go." After saying that, the fifth-tier zombie didn't hesitate and its body suddenly dispersed, turning into a sky full of emerald green poisonous mist.

"Interesting." Blood kept gushing out from Li Xuanzu's drooping hands, and the area within a ten-mile radius was soon covered in blood.

A blood-red longsword composed of nearly a thousand drops of blood essence materialized before Li Xuanzu.

"go."

At Li Xuanzu's command, the blood-red longsword directly locked onto the red-skinned zombie's spirit core.

The other side was no pushover either; a thick, almost tangible barrier of poisonous gas formed a purple barrier.

"Wow, you're playing quite a variety of games," Li Xuanzu remarked between battles.

The red-haired zombie didn't not want to curse him; he just didn't have the time.

The purple barrier was instantly pierced by the blood-red longsword, which continued to fly towards its spirit core without any resistance.

Poisonous fog of various colors would occasionally envelop Li Xuanzu, but he neither dodged nor evaded, allowing the poison to enter his body.

His body was just a pool of pure blood, so only a small amount of the Red Life Zombie's poison was effective against Li Xuanzu. Even the deadly poison that could corrode the skin couldn't cause him any superficial injuries.

He even had the energy to spare.
