All the zombies have already fled Jiaozhong Fortification?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That can’t be possible!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If that is the case, then how should we account for the several thousand villagers? They would have long gotten torn into pieces and swallowed up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Lian’s thoughtful gaze just so happened to meet Qiao Mu’s when he turned around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pair nodded at the same time, and Mo Lian turned to instruct everyone, “Search around. There may be a secret tunnel.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Liu Yuan had mentioned that the city lord and his madam had fought to the death to stall time for the citizens to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet not a single zombie was to be seen inside this City Lord’s Estate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not a secret tunnel, how else were they to explain this eerie situation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone automatically split up, knocking here and hitting there to look for a secret tunnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After searching the main hall, they continued inside and made a circle inside the City Lord’s Estate. At last, they gathered next to a well in the rear court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone had used several boulders to stop up the mouth of the well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone exchanged glances as they made several guesses in their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The mouth of this well may be narrow, but it is not impossible for these level-five zombies, some of which can rival human great mystic cultivators, to push away these boulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Unless there aren’t any zombies inside this well at all.” Duan Yue frowned as he kicked the boulder. “We’ll find out when we get it open.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several mystic cultivators stepped up to help Duan Yue push away the boulders at the mouth of the well, revealing a dark hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Be careful.” Qiao Mu shot a zombie about to leap out from the mouth of the well in the chest with her crow-gold arrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That thing then crashed to the ground before rapidly floundering about, with both its contorted arms propping it up against the ground. It arched its half-missing neck and then rolled its long tongue outside its mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was so freaking disgusting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A female mystic cultivator swiftly followed up with a mystic energy strike to that zombie’s head. In the end, it got blasted several meters away before smashing into a corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone turned their gazes aside in distaste after getting repulsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just as everyone was about to descend the well, that zombie that had originally been flung motionlessly to a corner abruptly turned around and started squirming. It kept floundering its broken body, attempting to pounce on the people in the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why hasn’t it died?” The female mystic cultivator shouted in wrath and horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had clearly hit its head with her mystic energy just now. From past experience, this zombie should already be deader than a doornail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet there was nothing wrong with it, and it could even slip and slide on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Allow me!” A mystic cultivator wielding a great broad axe beheaded that disgusting zombie with a clang at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A green and sticky fluid spurted out from the head, making them feel awfully queasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although everyone turned around, Qiao Mu coldly inspected that decaying head that had been lopped off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes glimmered as she saw a piece of crystal the size of a rice grain separate from the brain fluid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duan Yue walked up and picked up that rice grain before turning to look at Qiao Mu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a core.”\u003C\u002Fp>",645,"2026-06-05T15:46:59.271Z",1,"novelbin.me","29774d637a6dc60964cbcc10f3ee81b611c7c1b146b9ea397d46e3aa49e4c99a","my-crown-prince-consort-is-a-firecracker-chapter-1297","my-crown-prince-consort-is-a-firecracker-chapter-1295",3175,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-crown-prince-consort-is-a-firecracker-cover.jpg"]
