"No need, just keep an eye out for any wild animals around here." With that, he left the cave without looking back.

Looking at the disdain in her eyes, Zhang Xiaomo felt a surge of humiliation.

"Uncle, do I... look weak?" He looked at the old Taoist priest with an uncertain look in his eyes.

"Hmph! That's utterly pathetic!" The old Taoist priest arrogantly tossed his head away.

"Uncle...really...really? But...but weren't you impressed by my strength? You haven't been able to get out of bed for days!" Zhang Xiaomo whispered the last sentence.

The old Taoist priest: "…………………………"

Damn it, that shameless bastard, he's infuriating!

The old Taoist priest's ears turned slightly red, and his face was burning hot. He secretly turned his head to glance at the two people called Grandma and Grandson.

Ma Lihua rolled her eyes, but Ma Linghua didn't even glance at him, still pondering how to light the flint.

The black zombie patiently waited for the essence to form and enter its mouth. It couldn't smell any human scent at all, and it was also hard of hearing.

The old Taoist priest breathed a sigh of relief. This kid was shameless, and how could he even bring up their past?

It must be said that the group got along quite well inside the cave.

Ten minutes later, Ma Hehua entered the cave with several large bundles of firewood, and also put some dry pine needles into her pocket. This dry kindling would soon be ready to ignite.

"Mother, the firewood is here, and so are the pine needles. This time it'll definitely light." Ma Hehua flattered her mother.

"Hmm! Need I say more? It was because there were no dry pine needles that it wouldn't light." Ma Linghua was convinced of that.

Zhang Xiaomo; "…………………………"

Alright! He didn't even manage to ignite the hay, but he'd like to see if these dry pine needles can be lit.

"Let me tell you two, if you don't light it for me, I'll throw you right into that corpse's mouth, and I won't be able to get you out." Ma Linghua's face was icy, and her words were somewhat ruthless.

Zhang Xiaomo; "…………………………"

Ha! If threats worked, he'd eat shit upside down.

"Crack crack crack crack crack... Boom..."

The fire ignited instantly, and the pine needles burned exceptionally brightly, quickly warming the cave.

Zhang Xiaomo; "………………………………"

The old Taoist priest's eyes burned with excitement. "Is this the Yin Fire Stone? Is this the Yin Fire Stone on the Bridge of Helplessness?" He was so excited that he became incoherent.

"Hey! You have good taste, this was made for me by my eldest granddaughter." Ma Linghua gave him a knowing look.

Ma Lihua; "…………………………"

God the hell, those stones on the Bridge of Helplessness—she picked them up because they looked smooth when her father was digging a pond for her mother.

At the time, we didn't know it was a flint. We just saw her grandma throw a stone at her mother and sparks flew. Then, her grandma had a sudden inspiration and realized that we could save on matches.

However, from her grandmother's eyes, it seemed she knew the origin of the stone.

Yin Fire Stone is a material used to build the Bridge of Helplessness. It has extremely heavy Yin energy and can burn. Ghosts cannot withstand its fiery power, but it is very beneficial to cultivators!

The old Taoist priest looked on with envy, but it was just envy. To take action? He hadn't considered that the other person even had the Yin Fire Stone, so their martial arts skills might not be bad either.

The moment the fire started, the black zombie suddenly sat up, black smoke billowing towards the only opening, which made the black zombie extremely uncomfortable.

"Grandma, he's sitting up." Ma Lihua noticed that the black zombie was sitting up and sneezing one after another, and disgusting insects came out of those sneezes.

By the light of the fire, Zhang Xiaomo could see clearly now, and his expression changed drastically. "Black... Black Zombie, this is a Black Zombie! Oh no, we have to run! This thing is not within the Five Elements, we have no way to deal with it."

The old Taoist priest also became nervous. This thing was incredibly powerful! It ate even its own kind; it was practically a demon, and incredibly extravagant.

Ma Lihua frowned. "Not within the Five Elements?" She couldn't understand. The Five Elements are mutually generating and restraining, and none can be missing. To jump outside the Five Elements? Are you kidding me? How can they cultivate without the Five Elements?

The Heavenly Dao operates within the Five Elements; how can anything transcend the Five Elements and Six Realms?

Sure enough, those exaggerated novels are harmful; in their pursuit of grandiose claims, they mislead everyone.

Thinking about it, she felt that Zhang Xiaomo must have read a lot of novels that harm people.

Ma Hehua glanced at it. Zombies! What's there to be afraid of? Just go for it! Besides, this place is huge! Half for him, half for them, we can keep to ourselves, isn't that great?

It has to be said that Ma Hehua's thought process is somewhat peculiar, but the three members of the Ma family all have the same idea.

Ma Lihua didn't care at all; this thing hadn't harmed them, so they didn't need to do anything about it.

Seeing that the three remained unmoved, Zhang Xiaomo and the old Taoist priest also calmed down.

Wait a minute! Aren't these black zombies supposed to love sucking people's blood and life force? Why haven't they made a move yet?

Little did they know that the black zombie's nose had been rendered useless by Ma Hehua's urine, and that the guy's eyesight was also poor. Otherwise, if he had smelled the five people's presence, he would have become so enraged that he would have gone on a killing spree.

So the group went about their own business. After tidying up the place, the three members of the Ma family took out a large bed from the bag. Yes, it was a bed, along with pillows and blankets.

The three of them lay down, closed their eyes, and then it was quiet; they had fallen asleep.

Zhang Xiaomo; "…………………………"

The old Taoist priest: "…………………………"

This...this is simply indescribable. How can there be such a person in the world? Is this even scientific? Are they truly fearless?

The two of them didn't dare to be as carefree as the three of them, closing their eyes as easily as they said.

Fortunately, the fire kept burning, which warmed their cold bodies considerably. However, watching the black zombie stand up, lie down, and sit up made them very uneasy.

That night was absolutely agonizing, especially having to endure Ma Hehua's gurgling sounds to keep me awake. It was like adding insult to injury.

After absorbing the moonlight, the black zombie lost a lot of its fur, and similarly, its nose recovered a little.

He sniffed the air around him and felt something was different, but when he tried to breathe harder, the burning pain in his nose returned.

Zhang Xiaomo and the old Taoist priest were on tenterhooks. No, if this continued, the evil spirit would recover soon.

I don't know why the black zombie can't smell anything, but after the moonlight essence repaired it, the black zombie clearly reacted.

"Uncle, I'm scared."

"Little Mo! Uncle's scared too!"

The two exchanged a glance. "How about we wake them up?" they said in unison.

It can be said that they are telepathically connected.
