Chapter 229: The Gray Falcon's Predicament (Please Subscribe)

After a moment of thought, Du En decided to increase the intensity.

Isn't the person behind the scenes watching and raising corpses, refining corpses?

Then he would simply ruin the corpses and see what that guy does!

Since he had already chosen to beat the grass and startle the snake, he would see it through to the end; if he couldn't flush them out tonight, he would continue tomorrow night, and if that still didn't work, he would keep going—he didn't believe the other party could hold back forever!

Consequently, as Du En began to exert force, his Wood Spirit Entanglement rapidly improved from the beginner stage to the initial mastery stage, and immediately, amidst the teeth-grinding crunching sounds, he forcibly twisted and snapped these newly formed first-stage early-level zombies into pieces and chunks.

"Arrogant junior!"

An angry roar suddenly exploded.

Du En remained calm, not startled or frightened in the slightest; even though the voice appeared strangely, he could not locate the speaker's true position.

However, he quickly judged and grasped that the other party had misunderstood something, mistaking his actions for those of someone else.

Then, a zombie intruded into his sensory range.

Its body was stiff, covered in white fur, with prominent canine teeth and a shriveled face; it was a White-Furred Zombie, a type of second-stage zombie, and the accumulation of corpse Qi was only at the early stage, clearly having transformed not long ago.

Thus, the moment it stepped into this place, Wood Spirit vines sprouted from the ground, wrapping it up like a rice dumpling.

But in the next instant, a green-furred corpse hand suddenly reached out from the shadows, grabbed the Wood Spirit vines from a distance, and with a casual tear, shredded them like paper, causing them to dissipate silently as they hit the ground.

"There's even a third-stage Green-Furred Zombie..."

Just as Du En thought this, that voice also realized something was wrong and shouted from afar: "Wrong! It's not that junior! Tsk, has someone else come? Damn Inspector Guards!"

The Green-Furred Zombie did not reveal itself, abruptly retracting its hand back into the darkness, while the White-Furred Zombie was even more decisive, self-destructing on the spot to destroy the evidence.

However, Du En had actually intended for the Wood Spirit vines to be easily torn apart just now.

—At that very moment, a tiny, inconspicuous, toothpick-like wooden sliver had already pierced into the arm of that third-stage Green-Furred Zombie.

It looked like it was only at the beginner stage in size, but it had been condensed using a method of thorough mastery, then covered with a thin shell of Ice Breath to hide itself, allowing it to remain inside the body very stealthily.

A combination of the Slivers Technique and the Ice Breath Technique!

As Du En broke through to the Golden Core stage, inspiration struck during the breakthrough, allowing various techniques to be used in combination, significantly increasing their power and effectiveness!

As it stood, the former, the wooden sliver, could not only be used for attacks but could also be embedded in an enemy's body as a guiding mark, allowing Du En to keep the target locked; the latter was different from the previous Breath Concealment Technique, being a versatile technique that could be used for both offense and defense.

Thus, he had marked this third-stage Green-Furred Zombie without anyone noticing.

It was in front, Du En was behind, tracking and tailing, silent and soundless.

Very quickly, they arrived at a certain place within the vast mountain range.

"Am I going to die?"

Hu Sun could not help but think this.

After receiving the mission from his superior, he had immediately launched into action, secretly lurking and observing the flow of the corpses.

The first time, facing the scattered group of corpses running into the mountain forest, he did not act rashly but calmly analyzed the situation.

Although the corpse group was acting in scattered, separate groups, there had been no reports of anyone seeing zombies active at night before this.

In other words, this was just an illusion!

Facts proved he was not wrong; after these newly transformed zombies entered the mountain forest, they immediately vanished without a sound, like water entering the sea!

If he had chosen to chase them, he would only have exposed his own existence for nothing!

Hu Sun had pondered for a long time and used many methods to track them, all of which failed.

Thus, he decided to adopt a desperate and brutal method.

Pretending to be a corpse!

Utilizing a secret technique, he successfully fooled them and was treated as a corpse by the person behind the scenes.

From the piling of corpses to the corpse transformation at night, then to entering the sea like water... up to this point, the operation had gone smoothly.

However, a fake is a fake after all, so after entering the underground karst tunnel hidden beneath the mountain forest, he was quickly discovered.

Naturally, he began to break out, thinking that at the very least he had to report the important information he had gathered, but the person behind the scenes naturally would not let him succeed, so there were various encirclements and interceptions.

Fortunately, Hu Sun had received training like a death soldier; facing such a situation, he did not waver or panic, calmly weighing and judging, and avoiding the encirclements one after another.

Finally, he found a cave leading to the surface and was lurking inside, waiting.

Because it was very obvious that this was actually a trap.

Seeing that they could not catch him, the person behind the scenes had intentionally provided an escape route to make him walk right into the net!

At this moment, a third-stage Green-Furred Zombie was guarding the cave passage, and dozens of White-Furred Zombies, mixed with green and at the second-stage peak, were lurking behind it in the dark.

The two sides were in an invisible standoff, which had lasted for several days.

Until tonight.

"Eh? Has someone else taken the bait?"

The person behind the scenes suddenly discovered that the corpse group had been messed with again tonight, and this time they had been completely restrained.

Because this feedback felt familiar, it made him somewhat concerned, so without thinking too much, he decided to control the Green-Furred Zombie and fetch a second-stage early-level White-Furred Zombie on the way to attract attention, thus arriving at Bald Peak one after another.

He happened to see the scene of the corpse group being shredded by the Wood Spirit vines.

He was immediately furious, then quickly realized something was wrong.

"Wrong! It's not that junior! Tsk, has someone else come? Damn Inspector Guards!"

He spoke intentionally to cause a misjudgment, while in reality, he had already controlled the corpse group in the distant cave to begin actively attacking Hu Sun, who was lurking at the bottom.

He thought it was the Inspector Guards who had sent someone to rescue Hu Sun, so naturally, he had to stall for time and try to kill Hu Sun to avoid leaking his details so quickly.

But Hu Sun was, after all, a top-tier talent, the kind on the verge of a breakthrough, and his strength was truly extraordinary, comparable to the former Fu Yong; those White-Furred Zombies were just common types among second-stage zombies, and even at the second-stage peak, they were only equivalent to strong third-rate fighters of the same stage.

Under such an encirclement by dozens of them, if it weren't for the fact that zombies feel no pain, have no fear, are not afraid of death, and occupied the terrain advantage, they would have been wiped out long ago!

However, even so, it didn't take much effort for Hu Sun to quickly resolve them all like chopping melons and vegetables.

But, hindered by them, his pace was still dragged down.

More zombies appeared—one, two, three.

A full three Tier 3 early-stage Green-Haired Jiang, reeking of corpse Qi and with terrifying fangs, blocked the Grey Falcon at the cave entrance, leaving it unable to escape and its life hanging by a thread!
