'Roar!'
The zombie shook its head, and two more two-meter-long vines sprouted from its body.
The vines pierced directly through the top of the mine shaft in front of them.
Using the vines as leverage, the zombie slid forward five meters along the ground before suddenly turning around and lunging at Xiao Longzhan.
So fast that Jiang Nian'an and Shen Nanxing's attacks missed, and he appeared in front of Xiao Longzhan in the blink of an eye.
'Hiss~'
The three kings charged at the zombies together, but the vines on the zombies' backs seemed to have eyes, and they became entangled with the zombies.
The dark blue claws continued to claw towards Xiao Longzhan.
"Little Zhanzhan, watch out!"
Xiao Longzhan looked at the zombie in front of him calmly.
He quickly pushed off with his calves, taking two steps back to the side, then swung his fist and lunged forward, punching the zombie in the waist.
With a loud thud, the zombie crashed heavily against the stone wall.
Shen Nanxing waved his hand and threw out more than a dozen electric blades, cutting off all the vines on the zombie's body before landing on it.
"burst!"
As Shen Nanxing spoke, the electric blade exploded, releasing extremely destructive lightning power.
'Roar!!'
Even the Level 3 zombies, who have almost no sense of pain, felt endless agony at this moment.
After the lightning dissipated, the zombie lay paralyzed on the ground, its limbs emitting black smoke.
Apart from the instinctive twitching, there was no other movement.
"Your Majesty, entangle it!"
Xiao Longzhan waved his small hand, and the Great King leaped forward, tightly wrapping his arms around the zombie's body.
Although Little Blood Fox and Little Silver were not as big as the zombie's claws, they stepped forward to help, each trying their best to hold down one of the zombie's claws.
Xiao Longzhan jumped onto the zombie and punched it twice on the head, which was no longer able to resist but was still making soft growls.
The zombie's head was smashed open.
A crystal core emitting a green light appeared before Xiao Longzhan's eyes.
A smile appeared on his face as he yanked the wood-element crystal core off.
The zombie's roars vanished instantly, and it lay motionless on the ground like a robot without power.
"Sister, here you go!"
Xiao Longzhan jumped to the ground, turned around happily, and handed the wood-type crystal core in his hand to Jiang Nian'an.
"Thank you, Xiao Zhanzhan!"
Jiang Nian'an didn't stand on ceremony and accepted it directly.
After sensing the burgeoning wood-elemental energy within the crystal core, she couldn't help but smile.
Shen Nanxing withdrew his supernatural power, strode up to the two of them, and gave Xiao Longzhan a thumbs up, "Amazing!"
Upon hearing Shen Nanxing's praise, Xiao Longzhan was momentarily embarrassed.
He lowered his head and scratched the back of his head.
Only his wide grin, stretching almost to the back of his head, betrayed his true feelings.
Jiang Nian'an and Shen Nanxing exchanged a smile and simultaneously reached out to pat his little head.
"An'an, wait here for a while, I'll go and help the little guy dig the purple crystal off the wall."
Jiang Nian'an took out the dagger that Shen Nanxing had given her. "I'll go with you."
"As long as I'm here, you won't be needed for this kind of hard work."
Shen Nanxing gave Jiang Nian'an a gentle smile, drew the knife from behind him, and quickly walked to a purple crystal.
He wedged the tip of his knife into the bottom of the purple crystal, and with a little force, the purple crystal fell to the ground.
"I'll pick it up! I'll pick it up!"
Xiao Longzhan asked Jiang Nian'an for a clean bag, ran to Shen Nanxing's side, and picked up the purple crystal that had fallen to the ground.
The two, one big and one small, worked together seamlessly, one digging and the other picking up the food.
In less than five minutes, they had packed all the purple crystals deep in the mine into bags.
"Shall we go?"
Jiang Nian'an put the bag into her spatial storage and turned to ask Shen Nanxing.
"Um."
Shen Nanxing nodded, walked up to the two of them, and took the lead in walking out.
Even though they had already walked the route once, they dared not let their guard down and kept watching their surroundings warily.
'Waaah~'
The little blood fox suddenly heard some extremely faint noises and quickly alerted Jiang Nian'an and the others.
Jiang Nian'an and Shen Nanxing stopped at the same time and looked back in the direction of the little blood fox.
'brush--'
A series of hurried footsteps rapidly approached them.
Immediately afterwards, a dark figure appeared in their line of sight.
Without thinking, Shen Nanxing unleashed a bolt of lightning, but the black shadow dodged it and then disappeared into another mine tunnel.
Although the attack didn't hit the dark figure, it allowed Jiang Nian'an and the others to see its appearance clearly.
"It's that zombie from before..."
Jiang Nian'an glanced at the wood-type crystal core emitting a faint green light in the space and murmured in disbelief, "It's still alive, and it's moving so fast!"
"Let's chase after them and see!" Shen Nanxing was also full of doubts.
He grabbed Xiao Longzhan and pulled Jiang Nian'an along as they chased after the zombies.
"Little Silver, you go after them first!"
Just as the dark figure was about to disappear into the network of mine tunnels, Jiang Nian'an instructed Xiao Yin, the fastest among them.
'Hiss—'
The little silver tail lightly touched the ground, and it quickly chased the dark shadow into the mine tunnel.
"Little Blood Fox, lead the way!"
Jiang Nian'an gently tossed the little blood fox from her shoulder to the ground.
The little blood fox sniffed out Little Silver's scent and led them quickly through one mine tunnel after another.
After wandering around in the mine for more than half an hour, the little blood fox led them out of the mine and back to the surface.
The little blood fox was still running forward.
Jiang Nian'an looked around and felt that the surroundings were somewhat familiar.
"This is the entrance to Kang City. We passed through here not long ago."
