"More than one?"

Zhao Yan's eyebrows furrowed.

A level three evil zombie is already quite powerful. The one they had encountered previously would have been a challenging opponent if not for the spiritual array set up by Xiao Mu in advance.

Now, there was more than one of them.

"Should we call for help?"

Zhao Yan suggested.

Xiao Mu nodded.

If there were more than one level three evil zombie, they would definitely need help. Otherwise, with just him, Zhao Yan, and Wang Tong, even with the ghost servant and Zhao Yan's power increased to the mid-stage of level three mutant, they certainly wouldn't be a match for them.

"Get Lei Jiang and Ancestor Xu over."

"Alright."

As Zhao Yan agreed, she immediately took out her cellphone to call for help.

As soon as Lei Jiang and Ancestor Xu heard that there were zombies to kill, they confirmed they'd be there immediately.

Ancestor Xu was alone.

However, Lei Jiang said he would bring two people with him, his sister Ah Qing and brother-in-law Gang Shou.

Xiao Mu also agreed, as more help would mean more power at this point.

Though Ah Qing and Gang Shou's power were somewhat weak, they could still be useful in a critical moment, at least when dealing with lower level zombies.

Afterwards, Xiao Mu said, "You guys find a place to hide, try not to let the zombies detect your trace. I'll go in first to scout the layout and assess the zombies' strength."

He guessed there were more than one level three evil zombie, but wasn't sure exactly how many. Therefore, he needed to go in and assess the situation.

If there were too many level three evil zombies, exceeding two, even if there were just three, he would choose to give up.

If there were more powerful zombies, like a level four evil zombie, even if there was just one, Xiao Mu would also choose to abandon the mission.

Going in to scout in advance was to prepare for any unexpected occurrences.

"Be careful!"

Zhao Yan reminded him with a look of concern.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Xiao Mu responded, nodded at Zhao Yan, then told Wang Tong a few words. He instructed them to find a good hiding place while waiting for Lei Jiang and Ancestor Xu to arrive and to prepare for battle. Then he entered the ancient temple on his own.

As soon as he entered the ancient temple, Xiao Mu immediately summoned his ghost servant.

He took out the blank Ghost King Scripture he carried with him, consumed 9 energy points to bring out the variant technique chapters of the Ghost King Scripture, and let his ghost servant learn it.

There were many options for soul techniques like soul weapons, namely blade aura, blade chain, blade rope, and so on.

The so-called blade aura was a mass of aura condensed on the blade of the soul blade, enhancing the power of the soul blade. While a blade chain was a technique that released a chain from the blade during an attack, wrapping and restraining the opponent.

Xiao Mu gave it some thought and eventually chose blade aura.

He already had restraining abilities, having the ghost servant learn it would be redundant. Choosing blade aura was to maximize the ghost servant's killing power.

He had his ghost servant clear the path in front, trailing behind it as he made his way deeper into the ancient temple.

They encountered several wandering zombies along the way. To avoid startling the zombies, Xiao Mu did not attack them, but continued heading deeper into the ancient temple.

He was searching for the location of the evil zombie, and at the same time looking for the yin spirits that had been abducted by the evil zombie.

The evil zombie must have had a purpose for abducting the yin spirits instead of devouring them on the spot.

He intended to find and rescue the abducted yin spirits if he could.

Rescuing the yin spirits would disrupt the zombies' plans and weaken their strength.

For Xiao Mu, who was preparing to fight and kill zombies, this was crucial.

"What is this?"

Something caught Xiao Mu's attention, and he picked it up.

It was a piece of bone, which Xiao Mu guessed was a human spine.

This spine bone was being corroded by some kind of unknown evil air, had turned completely black, and was constantly releasing the evil air.

Xiao Mu picked it up from the ground, the ground where it lay had already been corroded by it, forming a small pit, and the nearby soil had turned into dead soil.

As soon as he held it in his hand, the evil air in the spine crazily released, attempting to corrode Xiao Mu's fingers.

If it were not for Xiao Mu's cultivation of Xuanmen Zhenggang and his own strength had reached the Spirit Communication Realm, under this intense evil air corrosion, he would inevitably be injured.

Despite this, Xiao Mu dared not hold the spine for too long and quickly discarded it.

Once it fell to the ground, the evil air emanated from the piece of spine and continued to corrode the nearby soil, turning it into dead soil.

There were a few unknown grasses growing near this piece of soil, and they quickly withered after being infected by the evil air.

Xiao Mu was also shocked. He didn't know the name of the evil air on the spine, but it was extremely strong.

Continuing on, he soon discovered a larger piece of spine.

No, this can no longer be called a spine. Instead, many spines were forcibly fused together by an evil power, forming a large black pillar.

The pillar seemed to be used for binding people, much like an ancient execution stake, emanating a strong evil air.

Beyond this, there was a black liquid on the outside of the black pillar made of the spine, which seemed to be heavier than mercury and brought a terrifying suction power, as if it could absorb everything.

Under the erosion of this special black liquid, the black pillar made of the spine was constantly dripping with a thick, putrid, black blood.

The spine had long separated from a person's body for who knows how many years. Perhaps it had dried up, but after encountering this special black liquid and being squeezed, it still released foul-smelling pus and blood, which was incredibly shocking.

At this time, the black pillar made of the spine had actually broken into two pieces and was thrown haphazardly on the ground.

Next to the two halves of broken black pillar, the ground was splashed with the black liquid that had corroded the surface of the black pillar.

This black liquid did not seep into the ground. Instead, it moved around like a living thing on the ground. A small snake appeared not far away and the black liquid immediately spread over, swallowing the snake whole.

In an instant, the snake was completely destroyed and devoured by the black liquid.

Xiao Mu was stunned, and the black liquid rushed towards him.

Xiao Mu did not move, and Dao Method Spiritual Energy surged from his feet, blocking the black liquid.

"Squeak!"

The black liquid was blocked by the Dao Method Spiritual Energy, and it made an agitated noise, seeming to be going mad.

While Xiao Mu's heart was shocked, he secretly guessed the origins of this black liquid.

A crazy idea came to his mind.

Could this be Netherworld Water?

Whether it was Netherworld Water or not, Xiao Mu dared not confirm. At least, judging from the known clues, this black liquid was definitely not a good thing.

The Dao Method Spiritual Energy was continuously transported out, gradually purifying the black liquid.

In the end, the moment it was completely purified, this black liquid let out a miserable howl as if it were a living being, which was utterly eerie.

Xiao Mu continued to move forward and soon made another discovery.

Not far ahead, another cluster of liquid appeared.

Unlike the black liquid before, this was some kind of Spiritual Water, but it was only used by Yin Spirits.

If consumed by a Yin Spirit, the Spiritual Water could enhance the Yin Qi within the Yin Spirit's body.
