at the same time.
Suddenly, a woman's desperate cry was heard from a cave thousands of miles away.
Almost at the same time, the twelve zombies under Tong Leren's feet all opened their eyes.
The hands that were originally on the shoulders moved left and right twice, and then all the zombies roared and jumped away in the direction of Ling Town.
“Ouch~!”
Tong Leren was dozing off when he was thrown to the ground by the rioting zombies.
He fell to the ground, rubbing his butt and groaning. When he saw the talismans floating in front of him and the scattered zombies, his eyes widened and he ignored the pain in his body. He shook the bell in his hand, took out a few paper talismans from his waist bag, and hurriedly chased after them.
Are you kidding me? If he lets these twelve zombies go, the villagers nearby will be in trouble.
He was already deeply sinful at that time!
Tong Leren did not dare to be careless, and his face no longer had the leisurely expression it had before.
He frowned and was shocked to see that the ringing of the bell had only slightly reduced the zombie's speed.
These are all living people who have been dead for less than a year.
It's impossible for them to suddenly lose control, especially since they left so smoothly.
There must be something that prompted them to transform into zombies.
The more he thought about it, the more he realized the seriousness of the matter. He didn't dare to delay any longer, so he chased the nearest zombie and immediately took out the talisman paper and stuck it on the zombie.
Seeing that it didn't work, he quickly changed it to the talisman paper drawn by his grandfather.
He looked at the zombies that had finally calmed down and hurriedly chased after the other zombies.
After finally killing all ten zombies, two of them ran too fast and disappeared into the nearby bushes.
Tong Leren looked at the zombie standing obediently behind him, and hurriedly took out a compass from the bag behind him. He whispered a spell and quickly followed the direction indicated by the pointer.
The other side.
Tan Manxing happened to come to this forest to rest while following the tracking butterfly.
She didn't need to rest here, but she didn't like to interact with people outside the valley.
Finally, I chose to stay in the woods.
She was resting against a tree trunk with one leg slightly bent, and suddenly she opened her eyes as if she realized something.
She looked at the two green-haired zombies that suddenly appeared in the distance, blinking her black eyes and staring at them in confusion for a while.
The expression looks... unexpectedly cute.
Tan Manxing looked at these zombies in white coats and had no intention of paying any attention to them, but then she thought of her master's order.
She tapped her fingers and palms, and with a bit of luck, she flipped over and landed lightly on the ground from the tree trunk, blocking the two zombies that were about to leave.
The two zombies looked at the living person who suddenly appeared, and when they smelled the scent of the living person, they did not rush towards her. Instead, they pounced on her with fangs, big mouths and green eyes.
Tan Manxing looked at the dark green eyes, took a few steps back nimbly, looked at the smelly and rotten zombie in front of him, frowned slightly, and deftly took out a small bottle from his waist with his fingers.
After a moment, the little centipede in the bottle quickly jumped to the ground, and then crawled onto the two zombies at lightning speed.
It quickly climbed to the zombie's shoulder, opened its tiny fangs, bit and drilled into the zombie's body.
In an instant, the zombie's skin arched into a convex shape, and the centipede poison worm bit everywhere inside, sometimes going down to the anus and sometimes rushing up to the throat.
Even the zombies were tortured by the poisonous insect and were twitching on the spot, not caring about Tan Manxing beside them.
Tan Manxing stood quietly in the distance with his eyes downcast, looking at the zombies.
At this time, Tong Leren, who was chasing from behind, saw the dangerous scene and shouted anxiously.
"Girl, be careful!"
As soon as he finished shouting, the two zombies fell to the ground.
Tan Manxing looked at Tong Leren, who was wearing an old Taoist robe, and squatted down silently without saying a word to check on the green-haired zombie.
Seeing that there was no danger anymore, Tong Leren scratched his head awkwardly. Looking at Tan Manxing who was obviously wearing Miao clothing, he moved closer with a little curiosity.
"Girl, judging from your attire, are you from Miaojiang?"
Tan Manxing glanced at Tong Leren, who looked harmless, and responded softly.
"Um."
"My name is Tong Le Ren, a corpse driver from Xiangzhen. You can call me Le Ren or Tong Le Ren."
He said this with his fists clasped together, imitating the manner of a chivalrous warrior.
"Can you see what's going on, young lady?"
Tong Leren is just a half-baked corpse driver. He followed his father around the country and learned a few tricks to catch zombies.
He had no idea why these zombies suddenly mutated.
"They've been summoned."
After listening to Tong Leren's self-introduction, a dark light flashed in Tan Manxing's eyes.
After she finished speaking coldly, she took out a jade bottle, put the two little scorpions into the bottle, and stood up to leave.
But he was stopped in time by Tong Le Ren.
"Wait a minute, young lady, you're new here and you don't know the rules of the Central Plains, right?"
Tong Leren looked at Tan Manxing who had stopped walking, and talked nonsense with a stern face.
"You accidentally killed my zombie. I'm just a poor corpse driver. If I can't send the zombies to the designated location, I won't have anything to eat."
"Girl, you can't bear to see me starve to death, right?"
Tan Manxing felt annoyed when he heard Tong Leren's words.
She wanted to deal with this talkative man directly.
But the master said that the outside world is different from the clan, and she cannot kill people casually.
Thinking that the other party claimed to be from Xiangzhen, she suppressed the murderous intent in her heart and spoke with a calm expression.
"I'll compensate you."
"That won't do! Girl, in our line of work, honesty and trustworthiness are paramount. How about this: you accompany me to deliver these zombies to Ling Village, and we'll be even."
Tong Le Ren looked at the innocent Tan Manxing and took advantage of her inexperience to quickly tell her the final plan.
"Girl, Qi Town is nearby, please help me."
"I still have my father and grandfather to support. They are very old and need to drink herbal medicine every day. If the money I worked so hard to earn goes down the drain, what will happen to my grandfather and father?"
His expression was very sad, but he said sorry in his heart.
The sad howl made Tan Manxing frown slightly.
She touched the tracking butterfly in her sleeve, thought for a long time and finally agreed.
Seeing that Tan Manxing actually agreed, Tong Leren became even more certain that she was being taken advantage of.
He wiped his face roughly and stopped crying, pointing at the two zombies on the ground and speaking in a flattering manner.
"Girl, can you help me control these two bodies? There are ten more bodies over there that I need to drive away."
With his current corpse-taming abilities, he couldn't control the zombies that had been eaten by the poisonous insects.
The reason he was able to suppress the rioting zombies just now was because he replaced the talisman paper drawn by his grandfather.
Thinking of this, his eyes were briefly embarrassed, because he had never thought that such a simple corpse-driving would go wrong. He didn't have many good things with him, and there were even fewer talismans drawn by his grandfather.
Tong Leren was filled with admiration as he watched the zombies being controlled so easily. Looking at Tan Manxing's cold expression, he asked with a smile.
"Girl, what's your name?"
"Tan Manxing."
Tan Manxing glanced at him and spoke.
In this way, Tan Manxing sold himself without knowing why.
Soon the two of them started walking together in the woods.
