The guards led a group of Gu people into the depths of the mountains at a distance, with Chu Zhongyuan following closely behind.

The bell in his hand can control these Gu people; it is the only tool he has to control them.

He couldn't hand it over to someone else, so he had to train them himself.

Chu Zhongyuan was pleasantly surprised to find that these Gu people could indeed be trained. In just a short while, their speed and explosive power had obviously improved a lot.

Not only has my speed increased, but my mind has also become much more agile.

One of the Gu people with a scar on his face realized he couldn't catch up, so he jumped up and pounced. The height he jumped was higher than the height of the guards, which is something no normal person could do.

Even those who know light-body skills don't have such explosive power and jumping ability; they still need to rely on external forces.

The so-called "dragonfly skimming the water" and "flying over walls" still require skimming the water and dodging; it's impossible to fly that high out of thin air.

But these monsters actually did it, and they could jump much faster than they could walk.

When the other Gu practitioners saw the scarred Gu practitioner leap forward, they all followed suit, quickly overwhelming the guards who dared not hold back, fearing they might be caught off guard.

Chu Zhongyuan couldn't help but marvel at how strong the learning ability of these Gu people was!

It makes sense, since before they became Gu people, they were, after all, human beings, not beasts, and their minds were naturally much smarter than those of animals.

Soon, the guards lured the Gu people to a remote village and, as before, blocked all possible escape routes.

The villagers fled in terror, only able to utter muffled "ah ah" sounds, as the Gu people leaped and pounced, hitting their targets with every attack.

They were like satiated beasts, their mouths full of blood, and they were extremely excited.

After all the villagers had been transformed into Gu people, Chu Zhongyuan used a copper bell to guide them back to their rooms.

After daybreak, the village was quiet as if it were deserted, except for the blood on the ground that proved the devastation of the previous night.

Chu Zhongyuan yawned: "I'm tired. I'll go back and get some sleep. We'll continue tonight."

"Leave a few men here to guard the area. Anyone who approaches must be killed on sight."

"yes."

The capital of the Great Ming Kingdom!

Su Yujiao suddenly woke up from her sleep, covering her mouth, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

Hearing the shouts, the Wei sisters rushed in and found blood trickling from Su Yujiao's mouth. They were terrified and asked in a panic, "Madam, what happened to you?"

The two looked around warily, but did not detect any strangers.

Su Yujiao pointed to the mirror, indicating that they should bring it over.

Xiao Tao, who understood her best, immediately handed her the mirror.

The Wei sisters' first thought was that the thief was hiding under the dressing table.

Su Yujiao stuck out her tongue in front of the mirror and looked at it. There was a row of teeth marks on her tongue, as if she had been bitten.

It must be Chen Yunniang!

You bitch!

When will this curse finally be lifted?

Xiao Tao asked worriedly, "Miss, how did you hurt your tongue?"

"Our Mengya's," Su Yujiao said indistinctly, then got out of bed to find hemostatic medicine in the medicine box.

It took Xiao Tao a while to realize that she meant "bitten in her dream"!

Can you dream about biting your tongue?

"Miss, what did you dream about?"

Xiao Tao realized that she couldn't speak right now, so she shut up.

"Miss, let me apply the medicine for you."

"Um."

After applying the medicine, Su Yujiao waved her hand, signaling them to leave.

She wanted to be alone for a while.

It wasn't because of the wound on my tongue, but because the dream I just had was too real and too terrifying.

She even dreamed of a zombie apocalypse!

Countless zombies surged in like a tide, turning everyone into zombies.

Even the city gates were densely covered with zombies. One wave after another climbed up, relentlessly attacking and being wiped out!

This reminded her of the Gu people controlled by Chen Yunniang in the Southern Frontier Kingdom, only the monsters in her dream were much more powerful than those she had seen.

It's faster and stronger, and it can leap and pounce. Its skin is also tougher, and its neck is like an impenetrable wall, impossible to cut with an ordinary broadsword.

Is this the end of the future?

Are Chen Yunniang and Chu Zhongyuan going to lead this group of monsters to attack the capital?

Su Yujiao became increasingly uneasy and decided to quickly send a letter to Nan Sheng to inquire about the situation there.

Did Chen Yunniang escape again?

If that's the case, she feels her nightmare will soon come true; otherwise, Chen Yunniang and Chu Zhongyuan alone won't be able to turn things around.

They must rely on these monsters!

These days she's been thinking about how Chen Yunniang and Chu Zhongyuan will regain the advantage of being the male and female leads.

Perhaps these monsters are the powerful cheat codes the author gave them.

After writing the letter, Su Yujiao handed it to her secret guards and had them send it over by express courier. Then she hurriedly entered the palace.

This time, she didn't go to the Empress, but went directly to the Crown Prince.

"Why is my cousin's wife so anxious? Has something serious happened?"

Su Yujiao rarely enters the palace, and each time she does, it is for a major event, so the Crown Prince is very cautious when facing her.

Some were even afraid of her entering the palace, because she always brought urgent and bad things with her.

"I had a nightmare."

The Crown Prince's expression was serious. He had already learned about Su Yujiao's background from the Empress and knew that the world they lived in was just a book.

However, like the Empress, he regarded the author of this book as a god who could create the world.

Therefore, even though he knew he had been given a tragic fate, he could understand it, but he refused to accept it.

"What did my cousin-in-law dream about?" The Crown Prince took Su Yujiao's dream very seriously, believing it to be some kind of omen.

If you could know in advance, you could change your destiny.

"I dreamed of many monsters, so many, as if everyone in the world had turned into monsters."

"The capital city has fallen, and the entire continent of Kyushu has become a living hell..."

"monster?"

"The monsters my cousin-in-law was talking about, are they those Gu people?"

He had already learned of the existence of the Gu people from the Tiger Guards, and now he heard it from Su Yujiao as well, so he naturally reacted quickly.

"Hmm, they are both similar and dissimilar. They seem to be trained Gu people, very fast, incredibly strong, and impervious to swords and spears. The army of the Great Ming Kingdom is no match for them."

The prince's pupils contracted slightly, and his face turned deathly pale instantly. How could it be so terrifying?

If someone else said that to him, he would never take it seriously.

But now that Su Yujiao is saying this to him, he has no choice but to take it seriously!

"Does my cousin-in-law think this dream will come true?"

Su Yujiao nodded: "I feel there's a 90% chance it will come true."

"They are the male and female protagonists of this book, how could we defeat them so easily?"

Even if they suffer a temporary defeat, the author will continue to give them new advantages.

"I think these zombies... Gu people, are their cheat code."

The prince didn't know the meaning of "golden finger," but he could understand the general idea from the words.

Let's just understand it as a powerful weapon or special ability, or invincible luck.
