The sudden departure of the short zombie king caught everyone off guard.
Without saying a word, the zombie king was about to give chase, but Shen Nanxing stopped him, saying, "Don't pursue a desperate enemy."
The sneak attack just now seemed to be a signal...
As Shen Nanxing watched the short zombie king's retreating figure, a look of inquiry flashed in his eyes.
After a while, he withdrew his gaze, looked at the three remaining enemy zombies, and called out to the Zombie King.
"Let's deal with them first."
The Zombie King did not refuse Shen Nanxing's suggestion and charged forward.
The three kings on the other side also returned.
The king had a long object in his mouth, which looked like a brooch, and a person was wrapped around its tail.
It was motionless and had stopped breathing.
Jiang Nian'an stepped forward and took the long object out of the king's mouth.
It wasn't a brooch, but a high-quality rectangular jade pendant.
It is 3 centimeters long and 1 centimeter wide.
The front is engraved with only five vertical lines, while the back and the left and right sides are smooth and have nothing on them.
'Hiss~'
Xiao Yin quickly climbed onto Jiang Nian'an's shoulder and told her about the situation in the woods.
When we entered the forest, there were two people perched in the trees. One of them ran away, but dropped something, which was the one the king had been talking about.
We stopped the other one, but he swallowed poison himself, and the king brought his body back.
Jiang Nian'an looked at the corpse that the king had thrown to the ground. It was a slightly fat man whose round face faintly glowed blue in the moonlight.
He was also holding a well-made bow in his hand.
She took two steps forward, half-squatted in front of the corpse, and was about to turn it over to check the back when the corpse suddenly opened its eyes.
'Roar!'
In the blink of an eye, it turned into a zombie, its sharp claws heading straight for Jiang Nian'an's face.
"Holy crap, it's a zombie!"
Jiang Nian'an subconsciously raised her hand, punched the zombie's head, and then chopped off its head with a backhand slash.
"An'an!"
Shen Nanxing rushed to Jiang Nian'an's side in a panic and asked anxiously, "Are you hurt?"
Xiao Longzhan also looked up, his face full of worry as he looked at Jiang Nian'an.
"Don't worry, I'm fine!"
Jiang Nian'an patted his arm and then touched Xiao Longzhan's head to reassure them.
He smiled again at Luo Yue and the others who had gathered around him.
"Just level one zombies, but that proves they're in cahoots with the people Luo Yi and his group have been tracking. Oh, right..."
Jiang Nian'an showed Shen Nanxing the jade pendant that the king had retrieved, saying, "It was left behind by its accomplices when they fled, and the king and his men picked it up."
Shen Nanxing took it and examined it for a while. "This pendant..."
He seemed familiar to me.
Luo Yue, who was standing to the side, examined the jade pendant carefully and suddenly said, "This pendant looks just like the one Lin Xin is wearing around her neck!"
Shen Nanxing's gaze suddenly darkened, and he abruptly turned to look at her. "Are you sure?"
Luo Yue was frightened by Shen Nanxing's cold and stern gaze, and instinctively hid behind Jiang Nian'an, whispering, "I, I'll take another look..."
"Brother Chen~"
Jiang Nian'an patted Shen Nanxing, signaling him not to be so fierce.
"Feel sorry."
Shen Nanxing softened his expression and handed the jade pendant in his hand to Luo Yue, "Take another look."
Luo Yue quickly took it, held the jade pendant up to the moon, and examined it closely by the moonlight.
"That's right, this jade pendant is almost exactly the same as the one Lin Xin is wearing around her neck."
The only difference is that the pendant Lin Xin wore had nine vertical lines on the front, while this one only has five.
"Could it be that the people we've been chasing all this way are members of the Lin family?"
Luo Yi murmured in disbelief, then suddenly covered his mouth, looking at Shen Nanxing with a hint of apology in his eyes.
"What's wrong? Is there something amiss with the Lin family?"
Jiang Nian'an couldn't quite understand Luo Yi's reaction.
“The Lin family is my maternal family,” Shen Nanxing explained. “The Lin Xin that Luo Yue mentioned is my cousin.”
Hearing Shen Nanxing's explanation, Jiang Nian'an finally understood why Shen Nanxing had reacted so strongly.
"Perhaps it's just a similarity, or maybe someone lost it and it just so happened to be found by the person who escaped..."
She took the jade pendant back from Luo Yue and tossed it into her spatial storage. "We'll explore the capital city first, then we'll decide what to do next."
Shen Nanxing nodded, glancing at Luo Yi and his sister without making a sound.
He had other ideas in mind, but he decided to discuss them with An'an privately.
The little zombie didn't care about what was going on between Shen Nanxing and the others; it was pulling on the zombie king's hand and repeatedly shouting, "Accept! Accept!"
The Zombie King looked down at the little zombie, his face blank.
You don't tell your own child what to accept, you just keep nagging about accepting. What exactly do you want it to accept?
besides...
The Zombie King stared intently at the tiny black dot in the little zombie's eye, and for a moment, he felt a surge of shock.
The black spot indicates that its offspring is somewhat smarter than before, but the little zombie's intelligence and strength are improving simultaneously.
It could sense that the little zombie's strength hadn't increased. What was going on?
"It makes you accept the second condition my brother-in-law proposed."
Xiao Longzhan chimed in, offering a friendly reminder.
The little zombie nodded hurriedly, then started shouting again, "Accept!"
The zombie king snapped out of his daze and instinctively shook his head, "No..."
The little zombie thought that if the zombie king didn't accept it, then the delicious food it had eaten earlier would be gone.
Unable to accept it immediately, she lay down on the spot and burst into tears: "Waaah—"
His arms and legs were still kicking wildly...
Jiang Nian'an and his group were dumbfounded.
It turns out that all little creatures, regardless of species, use the same tricks when they want to cheat!
