Zhang Mu took a deep breath when he saw this scene.

After his blood vine lotus was burned, it did not wither, but became even stronger.

If you think about it carefully, it is such a terrifying existence!

Is this the reason why even No. 35 is afraid? No, it must not be that simple. It is not enough to make the powerful Epoch Merchant feel a little threatened. However, since No. 35 is unwilling to say it, I have no right to force him, so I can only explore it slowly.

The Blood Vine Lotus now seemed to have regained its most basic consciousness and began to obey Zhang Mu. Under Zhang Mu's control, it slowly retracted into his left arm.

Looking at his smooth arms, which did not even have a scar, as if nothing had happened, Zhang Mu shook his head, remembering that he had spent a long time in the Epoch Store, and Yuan Rui might be waiting outside anxiously. So he raised his head suddenly and said to No. 35, "Since the transaction has been completed, I'm leaving first. Please send me out. My friends are waiting for me outside."

No. 35 seemed to be still immersed in what he had just seen, thinking about something, and hadn't come back to his senses. When he heard what Zhang Mu said, he just hummed and said, "Okay, I'll take you out. When you return to Luoyang City, remember to ask No. 37, the stuffy guy, if he's dead or not."

"Okay, I'll say hello to him for you."

Zhang Mu nodded, and in the next instant, he felt himself being expelled from this space, and a warm breath of fire pushed him out.

Although the power was very gentle, Zhang Mu was still a little dizzy after the transition between the two spaces. He shook his head, the bright moonlight sprinkled on his face. Looking at the empty lawn, he suddenly realized that something was wrong and his mind instantly became alert.

What happened? Where's Yuan Rui? Where's the Obsidian? Why are they all gone?

Zhang Mu tried to communicate with the Obsidian Worm, but found that the spiritual connection between him and the Obsidian Worm seemed to be blocked by some unknown force, which directly raised Zhang Mu's vigilance to the highest level.

"Yuan Rui, are you there? If you are, please reply me."

There was no other way, so Zhang Mu had to use the most primitive method and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Are you looking for her?"

A sound that felt like vocal cords being torn came from behind Zhang Mu, with a sinister and eerie sound.

Is someone really playing tricks on me?

Upon hearing the voice, Zhang Mu turned around and looked behind him.

A dark shadow held Yuan Rui hostage, covered her mouth, and walked towards Zhang Mu step by step. His walking posture was very awkward, making him look very uncomfortable.

As she got closer, Yuan Rui had tears in her eyes and she struggled hard, but she was controlled tightly by the black shadow and could not move.

Zhang Mu's face was so gloomy that water could drip from it. He said slowly, "Who are you? Let her go, or the price will be something you can't afford."

The hoarse voice sounded again, "I know you are very strong, and I know you are an agent of Epoch Merchant, but I can really afford the price you mentioned, hehehe."

The sound is like the person's voice was torn in half, which is really irritating to the ears.

That

A black shadow approached, cautiously keeping a distance of fifteen meters from Zhang Mu. With the help of the moonlight, Zhang Mu finally saw the appearance of the person who held Yuan Rui hostage, but his eyes almost fell out.

This man, with his green face, fangs and blood all over his face, is a first-level zombie!

What's going on? Can this zombie catch people? Can it talk and think?

Zhang Mu immediately thought of the intelligent zombies of later generations, but changed his mind and overturned this guess.

It will not be until half a year later that the simplest intelligent zombies will appear, and the intelligence of these zombies is like that of a ten-year-old child. They can only control groups of less than 10,000 zombies to carry out large-scale actions. There is no way they can speak and act as organized as the one in front of him now.

Then he thought of another possibility!

No wonder the mental connection with the Obsidian was blocked. This is not surprising. Although the Obsidian's body can be said to have no rivals within the first level, if it encounters a powerful spiritual evolver, it will only be controlled.

"An evolutionist with mental control abilities?"

Zhang Mu blurted out the possibility that he was most reluctant to believe.

"Haha, psychic? Control ability? This definition is quite accurate, isn't it? I didn't expect you know so much. I am becoming more and more curious about you."

"If you have the guts, show up. Why are you hiding like a turtle? Come out and fight."

"You actually know how to use this kind of provocation? Did I overestimate you? Do you think I will come out?"

The zombie moved closer with the thing on Yuan Rui's neck in his left hand. It was shining coldly. Zhang Mu saw clearly that it was the Obsidian Claw that he left for Yuan Rui for self-defense. He didn't expect that he would actually shoot himself in the foot.

The zombie continued to look at Zhang Mu slowly, as if waiting for Zhang Mu to speak.

Seeing that Yuan Rui was still in his hand, Zhang Mu suppressed his anger and handed over the rhythm of the conversation to him as he wished, and asked, "What do you want?"

"Finally you've hit the point. I won't waste any more time talking to you. I've seen the size of the zombie swarm you cleared in the commercial pedestrian street. There should be at least 1,500 of them. You killed several more waves of zombies later, and I saw them all. The zombie crystals you harvested must be at least 2,000 to 3,000.

What I want is all these Yuanjing. But you just came out of the Epoch Merchant, give me all the things you exchanged and the remaining Yuanjing, and I will let go of this little girl in my hand and your big beetle.

Otherwise, this zombie of mine hasn't had meat for a long time, and it should like this little girl's flesh. It's okay to cut her throat before you destroy it. One more bite is really worth dying for."

Do you know the Jiyuan merchant? Is he the second-ranked Jiyuan agent merchant in Xi'an City?

Listening to the zombie in front of him conveying the unbridled laughter of the person behind him, Zhang Mu's anger had swelled to a peak, but he forcibly suppressed the emotion. What he needed now was calmness.

At this time, he quietly moved his left arm back, but continued to play coy with the zombies in front of him, stalling for time and saying, "Can you eat so much?"

The zombie grinned uncomfortably and said in an unbearable voice, "Don't worry about this. I can give you as much as you want."

Eat as much as you can."

Without continuing the topic, Zhang Mu changed the subject and asked, "What if I give you the things and you don't let me go?"

"You have no choice. If you give it to me, this little girl might survive. If you don't, don't blame me for being cruel."

Zhang Mu was still arguing with the man who was controlling the zombies, but his hands moved faster.

Gradually, the zombie's voice became impatient, "What are you dawdling about?"

Suddenly, the person behind the zombie seemed to notice Zhang Mu's little trick behind the scenes and shouted angrily, "You really want money over life. Since you are willing to let it go, I will let this little girl die with my zombie baby."

"Really? He was discovered. Unfortunately, it was discovered too late."

Zhang Mu snorted coldly. Just as the dagger in the zombie's hand was about to slide across Yuan Rui's throat, a vine suddenly sprang out from the ground at lightning speed and directly pierced through the zombie's wrist. Then a bunch of roots branched out from the wound, directly controlling the zombie so that he could not move. The black worm claw in his hand was also rolled up by the flexible blood vine lotus.

It turned out that when Zhang Mu was talking to delay time, he had already let the Blood Vine Lotus slowly sneak into the ground. In order to prevent the spiritual evolver from discovering the clues in advance, Zhang Mu deliberately slowed down the speed of the Blood Vine Lotus' advancement underground, so that it would not be discovered until it got too close.

Zhang Mu embraced Yuan Rui, who had broken free, and took the Black Obsidian Claw Thorn that Xue Teng Lian handed to him. He walked to the zombie with his remaining hand, looked at his ferocious face with the attitude of a winner, patted his face gently, and whispered in the zombie's ear, "You are still a little naive."

The zombie tried to open its mouth to speak with difficulty, but was controlled by the roots of the blood vine lotus and couldn't even open its mouth.

At Zhang Mu's signal, the Blood Vine Lotus withdrew its roots from the zombie's mouth, and Zhang Mu was able to hear clearly what it was saying.

"After the end of the world, I changed my name to Tomb Blood. I am the damned person who crawled out of the grave and is still alive. Today, I was careless for a moment and fell into your hands. But remember, your head must have been taken away by me, Tomb Blood."

Zhang Mu touched his head helplessly and said calmly, "Why do you all want my head so much? However, the last person who spoke to me like this has become fertilizer for my pet.

As for you, it's best not to let me discover your existence. Otherwise, I think my little cutie will definitely enjoy the flesh and blood of a spiritual evolver."

The zombie did not get a chance to speak. Under Zhang Mu's control, the Blood Vine Lotus went straight through its throat and took out the Yuan Crystal behind its neck, then started to take credit for it with Zhang Mu.

Although Zhang Mu had been very strong just now and showed no fear on the surface, his inner guard was instantly raised to a very high level.

According to him, this blood in the tomb should have been awakened by the evolutionary ripples of the era not long after it was buried?

Zhang Mu had also heard this statement in his later life, and he was still tacitly considered to be within the scope of human beings, so he was recognized by the Jiyuan Store and was able to have the identity of Jiyuan's agent merchant.

An enemy hiding in the darkness, and an evolver who excels in psychic abilities.

Really, it’s very difficult!
