...Chapter 254: Attack of the zombie army...

Ding Hao stared at the caravan from the base of the mountain as he hid behind the bushes, licking his lips excitedly.

“According to the information inside the cave, as long as I kill a thousand people and gather an army of zombies, I can leave this place and go to Zhao Ze mountain to become a formal disciple of the master!”

Ding Hao was originally a villager but was recruited to be a laborer by a passing caravan.

However, the caravan was attacked by a large number of zombies as they passed through Mu Bei mountain. He was left along with dozens of other servants, as cannon fodder.

While all the other servants died one after another, he ran deep into the mountain in panic. Just as he was pushed into a corner, he found a cave; no zombies dared to approach this cave.

He entered this cave and found the demon's legacy.

As it turned out, this was the hidden legacy of the demon Master Gu who killed the entire clan and erected a tombstone in the ruins.

This inheritance is very hidden and only humans are allowed to inherit it.

Ding Hao woke up the hole in this cave and started cultivating, passing each test one by one.

He only had his initial C-class talent, but with the use of the rare Gu within the cave, his talent was upgraded to B-class.

He concentrated fully on cultivation, and after spending over eight years, he reached the rank three realm which was the criteria for entering the last secret room.

The last secret room contained a stone slab that had an inscription left behind by that demonic Master Gu: I am claiming to be the Second Zombie King. If someone destined to really arrive here, if you wish, you can go to Zhao Ze Mountain to become my official disciple and follow me to explore the Southern Border.

As a final test, the Second Zombie King asked his heir to kill thousands of people and also gather a large army of zombies. There are detailed standards for the exam, such as how many white-haired zombies, black-haired zombies, and green-haired zombies should be in the zombie army. However, if there were blue-haired zombies, one alone was enough to meet those conditions.

Ding Hao was an honest person and an honest person usually had strong points; they were firm.

He cultivated on Mu Bei mountain alone for over eight years. He had to endure the silence and loneliness, only having zombies as his friends as he cultivated bit by bit to rank three.

He was a servant who could only be a spectator of Master Gu's world, so he didn't understand many things.

During his time of confusion, the inscription on this stone slab undoubtedly gave him a new direction and purpose to struggle with.

The fact that the Second Zombie King had also been a servant and their background was similar, further resonated with Ding Hao's heart.

After reading the inscription, Ding Hao started killing people and gathering his zombie army.

Ding Hao soon realized that these two missions were actually complementary; he could use the corpses of the people he killed to obtain new zombies and new zombies thus could increase his strength to kill more people.

Mount Mu Bei was located on one of the three most important trade routes of the Southern Border with caravans passing through it every month.

Ding Hao spent another three years to reach the point where he was close to completing his mission.

This caravan at the foot of this mountain will be his final stepping stone to success! And it was the perfect victim!

There were caravans of various sizes, mostly and in small parts; ding Hao could do nothing but hide far away whenever a large-scale caravan passed by. He also did not dare to attack the medium-scale caravan. Just against this small-scale caravan, Ding Hao was able to move and secretly ordered the zombies to attack.

When the luck was good, this caravan would leave behind some cattle or servants to escape; when the luck was bad and hit the formidable beans, the zombies would be slaughtered and inflict heavy losses on him. At that moment, he could only slowly gather even more zombies.

However, this caravan was smaller than a small-scale caravan and it seemed to have already suffered great damage. It was like an old man struggling on the verge of death who could fall with a light push.

Ding Hao was confident he could handle this caravan.

He even felt this was a gift sent by heaven.

It was night time, dark clouds flashed across the sky, hiding the moon.

Light around the camp.

“Kill.” Ding Hao's eyes suddenly brightened as he wanted. The properly arranged zombie army moved silently towards the camp from all directions.

“What's this sound?” An extremely vigilant investigator, the Gu Master stationed outside the camp seemed to have heard something.

“What is it?!” Some Master Gu beside him was tense.

The five Gu Masters motionlessly stared at the darkness in front of them.

Although the moon was covered in dark clouds, there was a huge bonfire burning in the camp.

The bonfire produced a crackling sound as the wind blew past.

Amidst the flickering flames, a zombie covered in white hair leaped into the vision of the investigative Gu Master.

Some Master Gu looked at each other before laughing out loud.

“Haha, white-haired zombies.”

“Cih, worrying about nothing, scaring me once.”

“Xiao San, take care of this poor zombie ..” This group leader Gu Masters said indifferently.

White-haired zombies were extremely weak, weaker than ordinary ferocious beasts.

“Ya, boss.” A young Master laughed and walked towards the zombies.

“Be careful with the corpse poison, it will be troublesome if you are infected because I do not have a Gu.” type antidote The healing masters in the group reminded.

“Understand, understood. Do you think of me as a three-year-old?” Young master Gu impatiently waved his hand.

If he was truly infected with corpse poison, he could ask another Master Gu to cure him but it would cost him a minimum of half an ancient stone.

However, the white-haired zombies attacked in a certain pattern and were easily avoided. Young master Gu had killed many of them since entering Mu Bei mountain.

“No need to worry about this as long as I pay attention to dodge... ugh!” The young Gu Master muttered to himself when he suddenly stopped in place, his voice choking in his throat.

His pupils shrank rapidly and his mouth was wide open; his face showed an extremely frightened expression.

“What is it?” The four Gu Masters behind sensed something wrong and immediately asked.

“Quick, sound the alarm. There's zombies!” He shouted, his face filled with overwhelming fear.

“It's just a white-haired zombie, why are you panicking .. ap, what the hell is this!”

The four Gu Masters all shouted.

There were several hundred white-haired zombies leaping towards the camp. There were also stronger black-haired zombies mixed within the horde.

Under the lighting of the campfire, one could see overlapping figures in the darkness but no one knew how many zombies were advancing.

Clang clang clang…

In the deserted camp, the sound of a bell suddenly rang.

“There are zombie groups moving towards camp!”

“They have surrounded the whole camp!”

“Quick, fast, everything is ready to last..”.

Jia Long and the few vice leaders climbed up the wooden wall and observed the situation, their expressions were very serious.

“Damn it, which god made this caravan offended, what a shit!”

“I've been to Mu Bei mountain a dozen times but have never seen a large-scale zombie group..”.

“There is no point in complaining. Since we cannot change this situation, we must risk our lives if we want to live!”

“We must combine our strength and defeat this group of zombies!”

Everyone in the camp felt their spirits increase as they growled in anger. Instead, the zombie army was completely silent, in addition to the constant sound of leaps and landings.

The arrangement of the troops on both sides formed a strange and clear contrast.

The battle was full.

Gu Masters relied on the defense of the wooden walls and launched all kinds of long-range attacks. All sorts of colors appeared around the camp; ice, fireballs, vines, rolling boulders, and so on crashed into the front row of zombies.

A large number of white-haired zombies fell down; dismembered, burned to ashes, frozen into ice cubes or rolled into meat paste.

“Kill, slaughter them all. Hahaha..” Ding Hao observed all of this from the top of the mountain with a cold smile on his face.

He was no longer the inexperienced man he used to be. These white-haired zombies were cannon fodder meant to squander the primordial essence of Gu Masters.

Sure enough, after some time, Master Gu's attacks became even rarer and weaker.

“I'm out of steam, I don't have much ancient essence left.”

“I also need to recover my primeval essence!”

“Can anyone replace me? Damn, why are these white-haired zombies not reduced?”

There were too few Gu Masters in the caravan while the white-haired zombies seemed to be endless; finally, they were able to withstand the pressure and reach the wooden wall.

Under the attack of the zombie group, this temporarily constructed raw wooden wall immediately let out a dangerous creaking sound.

“Damn, block them, block them!”

“Call backup team.”

Both sides entered a dead end around the wooden wall. One side charged forward while the other side guarded this barrier. The huge loss on the white-haired zombie caused Ding Hao's heart to ache.

“Now it's your turn, my dear.” With a thought in his mind, a bunch of black-haired zombies charged forward from behind and entered the battlefield.

The white-haired zombies were slow and could be injured by the sunlight, so they could not move during the day. If they ate blood for many years, they could evolve into black-haired zombies. Black-haired zombies were covered with black hair, their strength and defensive abilities were stronger than white-haired zombies, and their jumping speed was much faster. Although they still received sun damage, they were not as afraid as the white-haired zombies.

The black-haired zombie had the strength of a hundred beast kings!

Ding Hao sent over fifty black-haired zombies in this group; all of them advanced in groups. They searched for a crack in the camp's defensive walls and immediately destroyed a part of it like a dry twig.

Although the camp sent more manpower to strengthen this gap, some black-haired zombies could still enter the inner camp.

The black-haired zombie swept its arms and sent the rank one Gu Master flying.

Gu Master fell to the ground and could not immediately stand up. The black-haired zombie pounced on him.

“I'm done!” Gu Master closed his eyes desperately but he suddenly heard a loud voice.

He opened his eyes; a powerful figure blocked in front of him, while the black-haired zombie collapsed far away.

“This is LORD Hei Tu of the Zhang Clan! “Teacher Gu's heart vibrates.

Grp!

The black-haired zombie chest had succumbed due to Fang Yuan's punch but it did not die, instead leaping and charging towards Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan was covered with a layer of white light armor. He slightly frowned and waited until he got close, then he grabbed both of his hands and pulled them firmly.

The black-haired zombie was immediately torn into two pieces.

The rotten blood that carried the corpse poison splattered but was completely repelled by the white light armor.

Fang Yuan casually tossed the two parts of the corpse. Even a great many blue haired beast king level zombies would die from such injuries.

“Thank you LORD Hei Tu for saving my life! ”The rescued Master Gu was completely absorbed in Fang Yuan's momentum and said in a voice filled with excitement and respect.

Fang Yuan ignored him but directed his gaze to the chaotic battlefield.
