Considering the possible scenarios, Meng Qiu temporarily shelved his plan to use the crystal core to enhance his abilities. Sister An had said that ability enhancement might rely on absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth; although not as fast as extracting a crystal core, it was safe and had no side effects. He didn't want to take the risk before figuring out the cause.
As the night grew darker, the trapped zombies sensed a summoning voice and tried to break free, but to no avail.
High on the rooftop, a figure gazed at the distant tents, his expression inscrutable. He appeared no different from an ordinary person, except for the occasional flash of gray in his pupils that revealed him to be no ordinary individual.
The next second, his figure disappeared from the spot.
An Ge was discussing the crystal cores with a few others when she suddenly felt a cold draft, instantly setting off her alarm. How could she possibly feel the wind while inside the tent?
Acting faster than thinking, An Ge immediately lit a small fire, making the already bright tent even brighter. With the appearance of the fire, the chilly feeling disappeared.
The group quickly stood up; it was the first time they had ever seen the shop manager look so serious.
"What's wrong?" Meng Xia asked anxiously.
An Ge shook her head, waved her hand to pack up the tent, and saw that the formation was not damaged at all, which made her even more puzzled.
"Am I being paranoid?" she couldn't help but wonder, but she still dared not let her guard down.
An Ge looked at the tense-looking group and asked, "Did any of you notice anything unusual just now?"
Apart from Wen Zihao, the other two shook their heads.
Wen Zihao said weakly, "I feel like there's something around me."
Wen Zihao's words further convinced An Ge that her intuition was correct. Perhaps the allure of Wen Zihao, this "Tang Monk's flesh," was too great; even with unknown zombies, he was the first to attract attention.
"Everyone be careful, there might be zombies that ignore the formation." An Ge pursed her lips. This was the first time the formation had been completely ineffective against the enemy. In previous battles, she had relied too much on the formation, and now that it was ineffective, she couldn't help but panic.
An Ge quickly calmed down. The unknown zombies weren't entirely without flaws; at least, they could be sensed when approaching. With the small fire, the zombies dared not get close.
What worried her most was the safety of Meng Xia and the others.
"Stay closer to me." As soon as she finished speaking, the group huddled together around An Ge.
Meng Xia gripped An Ge's sleeve tightly and whispered, "Can you sense the strength of a zombie?"
An Ge shook her head; this was what worried her the most. "Could it be an invisibility ability?"
As she spoke, she activated her Detective Eye, but found nothing unusual within its field of vision.
The situation became somewhat deadlocked. With a small fire burning, the other side dared not approach, but they also couldn't catch each other. Prolonging this would be even more disadvantageous for them.
The group exchanged glances, realizing the gravity of the situation. The enemy was in the dark while they were in the light; if they didn't catch this zombie this time, there might be even greater dangers in the future.
An Ge put away the small fire, and everyone was plunged into darkness again.
A short while later, the eerie wind reappeared. The group was prepared and attacked with all their might as soon as they sensed something amiss, but each time they were just a little short.
Meng Xia almost got caught several times, and stomped her feet in anger, saying, "This guy's invisibility ability is too strong, it's impossible to catch him, this is too passive."
Ange had a sudden inspiration, "It's not just invisibility."
She fell into a misconception from the beginning, thinking that what she couldn't see must be invisible, but invisibility cannot ignore the existence of the formation.
A formation master must have a sense of space; only those who are proficient in the existence of space can ignore formations.
Spatial abilities! They can even tear space apart!
An Ge never expected that teleportation, a feat even Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't achieve, would actually be possessed by a zombie. Teleportation combined with invisibility—this zombie's ability was truly terrifying.
Having figured out the other party's methods, An Ge became even more eager to get rid of the zombie.
She gave the others a look; although they had only fought together for a day, they had already developed a tacit understanding.
Another gust of cold wind swept in, and An Ge roared, "Now!"
As she spoke, she released her life domain, protecting the group.
This was the first time An Ge had used her domain ability since dealing with Fang Yuanyuan on the West Asian continent. With the enhancement of the Seed of Dimensions' power, her domain could be maintained for several minutes.
The moment the domain appeared, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Wen Zihao, and the next second, Wen Zihao felt a sharp pain.
"Ah, I've been bitten!" He had barely finished shouting when he saw the bite wound healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, before the zombie virus even had a chance to take effect.
"Uh, I'm fine now."
The zombie seemed surprised that the other party was completely unaffected. At this moment, he felt a powerful life force and had a painful expression on his face.
An Ge finally had time to examine the other party. It was a seventh-tier zombie, its face abnormally pale, its eyes staring at the group with pain and resentment.
The seventh-tier zombie has completely developed its own thoughts!
"I will kill you all as a great gift to my god!" the zombie roared, its voice hoarse.
An Ge noticed the word "god" he mentioned and had a feeling that he had known it all along. The appearance of zombies in this dimension was not an accident, but the result of manipulation by gods.
"Pah, what a lousy god! I'll dig out your crystal core today!" Meng Xia said confidently, releasing her supernatural power in an attempt to purify the other party's evil aura.
"You're asking for death!" The zombie didn't dare to mess with An Ge, but he wasn't afraid of this not-so-strong human in front of him, even though his strength was suppressed in the realm of life.
The zombie bit Meng Xia's arm, and the wound healed before it even bled. The zombie was stunned, and the series of blows made it question its existence.
Meng Xia shouted anxiously, "Hey, you two, stop watching! Getting bitten is disgusting, come help me!"
An Ge needs to maintain the life domain and cannot act rashly, so Meng Xia can only place her hopes on the two of them.
The two then realized they had been unharmed after being bitten by zombies and quickly took action.
Wen Zihao used his superpower twice on himself, directly raising his support ability to the limit he could currently bear. Then he added another layer of support to Meng Qiu and Meng Xia respectively.
The superposition of two layers of superpowers directly raised Meng Qiu's superpower to the seventh level, while Meng Xia's purification superpower even increased by three levels.
With the powerful energy, Meng Qiu followed An Ge's example and used plants to surround the seventh-level zombie. Under the effect of the life domain, the seventh-level zombie was powerless against Meng Qiu, who was of the same level.
Meng Xia's purification work went exceptionally smoothly, and by the time the life domain disappeared, she had purified most of the black mist.
The moment An Ge withdrew her domain, she waved her hand to dispel the remaining black mist, and a seventh-tier zombie collapsed to the ground.
At the same time, its face also became hideous.
