"It doesn't matter if you die, but do you want all your brothers to be buried with you?"
Ye Lei decided to first reason with him and then appeal to his emotions to persuade him.
What do you mean?
"Didn't you hear that barrage of gunfire? Even though your five generals are dead, there are still thousands of zombies lurking around."
What do you mean by that?
"You're supposed to be the mighty Corpse King, and you can't even figure this out? Every gunshot means one of your brothers has died. Don't you understand that?"
Ye Lei's goddesses never stopped shooting, and if nothing unexpected happens, the corpses of the python zombies around the shelter have piled up like mountains.
"What did you say? How is this possible? What exactly do you want?"
Perhaps the Python Corpse King never considered all this; in its eyes, those ordinary zombies were nothing more than cannon fodder.
"What do I want? Just order them to stop attacking, and I'll stop the slaughter immediately, so you won't be childless!"
Ye Lei's plan was that once he subdued the Python Corpse King, these python zombies would become his large army.
"Okay, you keep your word!"
"You keep your word!"
The Python Corpse King also realized that his five generals had already perished here, and those ordinary python zombies were truly cannon fodder.
So, it controlled the python zombie army to stop attacking and follow behind it, and Ye Lei saw all of this.
"Can everyone hear me? If you can, please respond!"
Ye Lei shouted into the walkie-talkie that he had to keep his word in order to have a chance to make the python king submit.
"I heard you!"
"Brother Lei, please give instructions!"
"I can hear you!"
"receive!"
…………
The goddesses' replies came through the walkie-talkie.
"Have those python zombies stopped attacking?"
Ye Lei needs to confirm first.
"Yes, they've already swam away!"
"Yes, what happened?"
"We were having so much fun playing! Why did you stop?"
"Something must have happened?"
…………
"Alright, cease firing and rest where you are. Be ready to receive my orders at any time."
Ye Lei had no time to explain to them and gave the order directly.
"yes"
As everyone received the order to cease fire, the entire Yixiantian Scenic Area fell silent.
"I didn't expect you to be a person of your word?"
The python corpse king also heard that the gunshots had stopped, so it seemed that the other party had not lied to it.
"So, everything you encountered before deceived you?"
Ye Lei said with a smile.
"Let's not talk about it anymore. Those humans before, they spoke so well, but what happened in the end? So I've chosen not to trust any humans!"
It seems the python corpse king has suffered quite a bit at the hands of humans.
"Now you know, we humans do keep our word, right?"
"Fine, then may I leave now?"
The python king, having suffered heavy losses, only wanted to leave this place as soon as possible and find a place where it could recuperate and regroup.
"Letting you go is no problem, but in your current state, do you think you can survive?"
Ye Lei looked behind the Python Corpse King and saw that only about half of the python zombies remained.
"It's all because of you, you despicable human, who killed so many of my generals. I'll come back and settle this score with you sooner or later."
Even though he was on the verge of death and hadn't found the python corpse king, he still wouldn't let his words go unpunished.
"If you can't beat them, you can't beat them. No matter when you come back, you'll still lose. Do you understand?"
"you……"
The Python Corpse King was speechless. Ye Lei was telling the truth. It was a difference in strength, especially in this apocalyptic world, where the weak would be beaten.
"Actually, I have a clear path for you, but I don't know if you'd be willing to take it?"
"Oh, tell me about it."
"That means you must submit to me, and I can protect you and avenge you."
"Revenge? What revenge?"
The python corpse king was suddenly stunned.
"You must have lived a carefree life deep in the mountains before, and you must have been driven out to be here, right?"
Ye Lei guessed.
How did you know?
"This is human wisdom, and this is why you can never defeat humans."
"You're right, we were indeed driven out, but you're probably not quite there yet to avenge me!"
The python corpse king couldn't believe that if it couldn't handle it, a weak human could.
"Oh, really? Just like when you brought your thousands of troops here with great momentum, thinking you could easily take this place, but what was the result? You were still utterly defeated by me."
"What if I don't want to submit to you?"
The python corpse king never intended to submit to a human.
"Then I'll beat you until you submit!"
"What if I refuse to submit, even unto death?"
"Then I will do as you wish and kill you!"
Ye Lei revealed a vicious look. He had been talking for so long, and he wasn't joking. The only way to feel good about what you can't have is to destroy it.
"Let me think about it."
"You have three minutes."
Ye Lei could sense that the Python Corpse King had abandoned its previous arrogance.
Just one minute later, the python king lowered its proud head. After weighing the options, it decided to follow the human in front of it and fight its way back to its lair.
Are you sure you want to avenge my expulsion?
"I will grant your request if you submit to me."
"Alright, I am willing to submit to you and be my master."
"good"
Ye Lei hadn't expected that he could acquire his first Corpse King General in this way. Without hesitation, he focused his mind and began to control the Python Corpse King once again.
Soon, the system's voice echoed in his mind.
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully bound yourself to a zombie.]
After the system notification, the Python Corpse King actually nodded, looked at Ye Lei, and waited for him to give him orders.
[Please name the zombie for easier control.]
Since you have a full set of plate armor, let's call you Silver Scale Corpse Python!
[Zombie Name Successfully Acquired: Silver-Scaled Corpse Python]
As if it understood, the Silver-Scaled Corpse Python let out a long roar towards the sky.
Ye Lei stepped forward and stroked its massive head. For the first time, the Silver Scale Corpse Python felt a warm touch of care.
"Wait a moment, and I will help you quickly grow back the sharp tooth that I cut off."
Is this okay?
The Silver-Scaled Corpse Python seemed somewhat skeptical.
"Let's try and see. Xiuyan, Xiuyan, could you please come out here? The rest of you can go back and rest. Battle over!"
Ye Lei shouted into the walkie-talkie.
"Yay! Brother Lei is awesome!"
"I knew it! No matter what kind of demons or monsters they are, they can't possibly be a match for Brother Lei."
"Congratulations, Brother Lei, on acquiring another powerful general!"
"From now on, let's see who dares to bully us."
…………
Under Ye Lei's command, victory was finally achieved in this battle against the python zombies, and everyone was once again impressed by Ye Lei's strength.
