Chapter 59: He fattened himself up and waited to be slaughtered.

Gu Qituo was very frank and didn't hide anything.

He had a deep understanding of the barrier set up by the tomb's owner; no matter how hard he tried before, he could not break through the barrier around the coffin.

Now, the entire tomb is trapped by a barrier. With his intelligence, it's not hard for him to figure out that if he doesn't join forces with these two high-ranking humans, he'll probably be trapped in this tomb forever.

Although they were enemies, he would rather continue fighting to the death after escaping than be trapped here in a daze and eventually become a dried-up corpse.

"I had a question all along: even if Xiaobai was surrounded, it shouldn't have been such a coincidence that he teleported to that coffin by chance.

What's even stranger is that we can go in but can't come out, while you can't get in at all, as if the tomb's owner deliberately created an opportunity to have a private talk with us.

My second suspicion is that the coffin lid was opened too easily. There was just an obvious bead that fell to the ground and I put it back in place, and that's how it inexplicably opened.

Even more suspiciously, after the coffin lid was opened and then closed again, the ghostly image of the tomb's occupant appeared.

His reasoning seemed reasonable: he said that because we were not greedy and did not take his burial goods, he believed we were gentlemen and therefore asked us for a favor.

To make everything more plausible, he fabricated a touching love story and ultimately asked us to remove the three lotus stamens from the chandelier so that the tomb could be completely buried and no one could disturb the couple's peaceful rest.

To be honest, I was moved at the time, and since I was also determined to bury all of you zombies here, helping him was like killing two birds with one stone.

"Such a great opportunity, if it were you, you probably would have agreed without hesitation, right?" Bo Yiyan said, looking at Gu Qituo.

“That’s right, but why didn’t you do it?” Gu Qituo asked. Although he was intelligent, he was still a zombie after all, and there were some things he couldn’t understand.

Not only him, but even Xiaobai was fooled. After all, he was now a devoted man who only wanted to save his beloved. The love story told by the dragon touched him so much that he had no doubts at all.

"I was planning to do it, but somehow it just felt like things were going too smoothly."

Throughout my life, whatever I do, it's always been full of ups and downs; I've never had a particularly smooth journey.

So when Xiaobai reached out to pull out those three lotus stamens, a thought flashed through my mind, and I felt that there might be poison there. After all, I am a doctor who likes to concoct poisons! "Bo said.

Gu Qituo: You don't look like a doctor at all, do you? You're more like a poison master, you can even poison the Super Zombie King.

"So, what kind of poison is in this lotus stamen?" Xiaobai finally asked.

"I don't know," Bo said, shaking his head.

Xiao Bai and the zombies: ? ? ?

Seeing everyone staring at him angrily, Bo Yiyan said innocently, "Although I don't know what kind of poison is there, it's true that the tomb is sealed by a barrier, right?"

"Okay, actually I'm not just making things up. I have a guess in my mind, and based on what this super zombie king just said, I think this guess is at least 70% correct."

If I'm not mistaken, once this lotus stamen is pulled out, it will spray out a sufficiently high concentration of wither virus powder or mist.

This poison is harmless to you zombies, but it will immediately infect me and Xiaobai.

If an S-class and an A-class ability user are infected, there is a high probability that their flesh and blood will be devoured by you, an SS-class zombie, which will then help you break through to SSS-class.

Wow, the crystal core of an SSS-level zombie, its rarity is truly unimaginable.

If I were the tomb's owner, I would either swallow this SSS-grade crystal core myself and ascend to immortality, or I would let my beloved woman swallow it, so I could disguise myself as an ordinary human and roam freely.

“Even if you figure out the truth, we’re trapped here and can’t get out. What can we do?” Gu Qituo said dejectedly.

He no longer had the desire to kill the two humans and devour their flesh, because even if he succeeded, he would ultimately be no match for the tomb owner, essentially fattening himself up only to be slaughtered.

"Why don't we work together to break the barrier around the coffin, dig out the pair of star-crossed lovers inside, chop them up, and eat them?"

"That's a dragon! Its entire body is brimming with spiritual energy. If you eat it, you'll definitely advance in cultivation level on the spot," Bo Yiyan said.

"What a cunning and vicious human! It's a pity that even if you've guessed the truth, breaking through my inner and outer barriers won't be something you can do overnight."

Besides, I prepared some snacks in advance. Once these little cuties' appetites are stimulated, they probably won't be good children anymore, haha!

The man in red floated out from above the coffin again, but this time it was no longer a phantom, but a pale and weak physical entity.

As soon as he finished speaking, several streams of water gushed out from the tops of the stone pillars on both sides of the tomb chamber, carrying more than a dozen fresh sea fish.

The low-ranking zombies couldn't resist the urge to devour the fresh flesh and blood, but due to the oppressive presence of the two zombie kings, they only dared to bare their teeth and not one of them dared to rush out to snatch the food.

Normally, Guqi Tuo releases a batch of animals out of the tomb every few days to forage for food in the sea.

The zombies don't need to breathe, so they're not afraid of drowning. Although they're a bit clumsy at hunting in the water, they can still fill their stomachs by ganging up on a sea monster in groups of three or five.

Unfortunately, Gu Qituo has been busy launching zombie hordes these past two days, so he hasn't had the energy to send the zombie minions out of the tomb to forage for food.

It's like herding sheep. Once you let them out, you have to spend some mental energy controlling them and preventing them from straying too far. Otherwise, they'll scatter and you'll have to go through a lot of trouble to find them again.

The high-ranking zombies, who had been starving for two days, began to see the fresh fish and their eyes turned red. They all looked at Gu Qituo, waiting for him to give the order so they could pounce on him immediately.

However, Gu Qituo dared not let them eat. There were dozens of high-level zombies and more than a thousand low-level zombies in the entire tomb.

There were too many monks and not enough porridge; there were only a dozen or so fresh fish, not even enough for one bite per person.

Once someone makes the first move and the smell of blood fills the air, the lower-level zombies, driven by their instinct to eat, are unable to control themselves, even he, the zombie king.

Then his underlings will fight to the death for that food.

Gu Qituo was in a dilemma, but Bo Yiyan said with a smile, "These fish are better off going to my Qiansi!"

As she spoke, Qian Si instantly extended dozens of vines, which swept away all the fish and took them into Qian Si's own space.

Just when it seemed a bloody battle was about to break out, he defused it without firing a shot.

Gu Qituo was truly grateful to this human at this moment. If it weren't for his decisive action in making the fish disappear, things would probably have fallen into chaos.

Once his underlings fall into disarray, he's not confident he can handle those two humans.
