That's right, this 'person' is the corpse they've been looking for, the zombie that was brought back to life by the giant centipede. However, Yue Jiuling doesn't usually call him a zombie; she often calls him a corpse that has come back to life.
Seeing that Yue Jiuling had already gone down, Ya Zi went over as well. He looked at the zombie covered in smelly mud with disdain and said, "Shall you do it or should I?"
Yue Jiuling snapped her fingers and threw a small fireball at the zombie: "No need, I can handle this."
Because the two of them came down very quietly and without making a sound, the zombie only noticed them when Ya Zi was speaking. However, by then it was too late, as Yue Jiu Ling's fireball had already hit the zombie!
"Ah~!"
Even though the zombie was dead, it still felt pain after being burned, so it immediately let out a painful howl and charged at Yue Jiuling, baring its teeth and claws! Because Yue Jiuling was the one who lit the fire for it!
"Ouch~ You can feel pain? I thought you had incredibly thick skin~"
When Yue Jiuling saw that the zombie was chasing her, she immediately turned and ran back, taunting him as she ran: "Come on~ Come and hit me~ If you've got the guts, come and hit me~"
Ya Zi saw Yue Jiuling teasing the zombie from behind and found it amusing. He made a fist and held it to his mouth to suppress his laughter. He said, "Alright, Jiuling, you're not using Hellfire. You should deal with him quickly. Ordinary fire probably won't be able to handle him so easily."
"Who said that? This will work just as well, okay?"
Yue Jiuling was a little unconvinced when she heard Ya Zi's words. She thought that this zombie was just an ordinary zombie, so why couldn't it be burned to death?
However, things didn't go as smoothly as Yue Jiuling had planned. Her intention in teasing the zombie by making it run around was to prevent it from extinguishing its flames and slowly burn to death. But unexpectedly, although the zombie was engulfed in flames, it seemed impervious to fire, and after burning for so long, it still hadn't died!
"Holy crap, Ya Zi, what's going on here?"
Yue Jiuling was getting annoyed by being chased by the zombie, so she turned around and kicked the zombie into a patch of grass. Then she ran to Ya Zi's side and asked him a question.
Ya Zi shook his head, looking at the zombie who was slowly getting up from the ground, and whose fire was almost extinguished. He said, "You silly girl, have you forgotten how he got up? He didn't get up on his own. He got up because he was tainted by demonic energy."
"Oh my god~ that's right, I completely forgot about that!"
Reminded by Ya Zi, Yue Jiuling realized that the zombie hadn't risen from the dead on its own, but had risen because it had been touched by the demonic energy of the giant centipede. So the reason why ordinary fire couldn't kill it was because it was already demonizing, meaning it was developing into a monster.
Seeing that Yue Jiuling finally understood, Ya Zi said, "Well, have you figured out how to deal with him?"
"I've thought it through. Even though he's not an ordinary zombie, I think I can still handle him."
As Yue Jiuling spoke, she waved her hands, summoning her beloved 'Shuang'er'. She stroked a pair of short swords and said softly, "Shuang'er, it's been so long since I've used you. I'll have to trouble you again today~"
Seeing that Yue Jiuling had already used her weapon, Ya Zi went to the zombie who had stood up and was ready to fight and said, "Jiuling, it's up to you. I think he has demonic energy again, but it's very weak. You'd better finish him off quickly."
Ya Zi actually wanted to help Yue Jiu Ling deal with the zombie, but after seeing how enthusiastic Yue Jiu Ling was, he decided not to get involved.
Yue Jiuling nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. I've been itching to try it myself lately."
Actually, dealing with a small zombie that is about to turn into a demon would be quite easy for Yue Jiuling, but she insisted on revealing all her weapons, which means she wanted to have a real fight.
"Hehe~ I feel like I've had too many annoying things going on lately, so I'm sorry, you're probably going to be in big trouble~ because I'm going to do something terrible to you."
Yue Jiuling stared at the zombie with her short sword, and said with a hint of malice.
