"Cang Wushi, what a fine job you've done!"

The Grand Chan Master was livid. "What did I instruct you to do? To guard the door, but is this how you guard it? Where did the Dragon Warrior go, and where did the door disappear to?"

No wonder he was so furious. The Air Bead was of extraordinary strategic significance, and whether it could be recaptured was of great concern.

Now, without the portal leading to the Zombie Camp, the plan to recover the Air Bead is inevitably stalled.

What irritated him the most was not the missing Dragon Warrior, but the disappearance of the door carved out on the stone wall.

"I... I..."

Cang Wushi also realized the severity of the situation, trembling all over under the Grand Chan Master's questioning.

"Dragon Warrior, Dragon Warrior, where... where did he go?"

He looked around frantically, but found no one after all.

"Hehe!"

The Grand Chan Master, extremely irritated, sneered and looked at Cang Wushi indifferently from beginning to end. "I entrusted you with guarding this place, and yet someone escaped. I will definitely report this."

"Cang Wushi, you've ruined the plan to take back the Air Bead. You know how serious this is."

"Grand Chan Master, I... I never anticipated that it would turn out like this. The Dragon Warrior deserted his post, what... what has it got to do with me?"

Cang Wushi protested indignantly.

"You two were in a team, you both bore supervision duties. He escaped, do you think you can absolve yourself of blame?"

The Grand Chan Master asked coldly.

"No, it's not possible. The Dragon Warrior wouldn't escape. He's not that kind of person."

Cang Wushi cried out.

"If he didn't flee, where is he?"

The Grand Chan Master asked coldly.

"This..."

Cang Wushi was speechless for a moment.

No matter what he rebutted, the fact was that the Dragon Warrior was not here.

Xiao Mu didn't say much, but began to search with his head down.

The situation was too strange. It was impossible for the Dragon Warrior to have vanished without reason, and the door mentioned by the Grand Chan Master was also missing.

Yi!

Xiao Mu suddenly found something, he squatted down, picked up an object and examined it closely.

It was a smear of soil stained with blood. From the scent emanating from the bloodstained soil, Xiao Mu could clearly sense something.

The scent of the soil was complex, carrying a hint of evil energy aside from the aura of mutation.

Could it be?

A thought occurred to Xiao Mu.

He turned and interrupted the argument between the Grand Chan Master and Cang Wushi, "Stop arguing, both of you."

Despite looking at Xiao Mu, the Grand Chan Master's tone was polite. "Mr. Mu, are you pleading for Cang Wushi?"

"You are our guest. Normally, we would give you face, but this situation is really serious. I'm afraid I cannot comply."

He turned to Cang Wushi, his expression becoming extremely stern. "Cang Wushi, I will report to my superiors immediately and request that you be severely punished."

"Master, this... this... I was just implicated, please show mercy."

Cang Wushi pleaded desperately.

The Grand Chan Master was angry in his heart, he hummed a response, unmoved. He took out his cellphone, ready to report the incident.

"Grand Chan Master, please wait a moment."

Xiao Mu spoke again, timely stopping the Grand Chan Master's action. "I think you might have misunderstood the Dragon Warrior."

"Mr. Mu, you... have you discovered something?"

Cang Wushi looked at Xiao Mu, grateful.

Respecting Xiao Mu, the Grand Chan Master put down his cellphone upon hearing this. "Mr. Mu, why do you say so?"

Xiao Mu lifted his finger, showing the bloodstained soil on his fingertip to the Grand Chan Master and Cang Wushi and others. "See this smear of soil? Do you know why it is this colour?"

"Blood!"

Cang Wushi said immediately.

Not only him, anyone who had seen much blood could tell at a glance that the soil was definitely bloodstained.

Xiao Mu nodded and explained, "This is not ordinary blood. I've checked it out; it carries evil energy. Therefore, I infer that some evil zombies must have been here. As for the Dragon Warrior you mentioned, he may have been eaten by the evil zombies."

"How could that be?"

The Grand Chan Master and Cang Wushi exclaimed in surprise simultaneously.

The Grand Chan Master was genuinely surprised.

A glimmer of relief showed through Cang Wushi's shock. Given his understanding of the Dragon Warrior, he knew that the latter would never abandon his post without sufficient reason. If an evil zombie appeared and ate the Dragon Warrior, that would make sense.

Seeing their disbelief, Xiao Mu rose from his squat, casually flicked the soil off his finger, "The Dragon Warrior you mentioned, he was a Mutant, right?"

"How do you know that?"

"Do you know the Dragon Warrior?"

The Grand Chan Master and Cang Wushi were even more astonished. They stared at Xiao Mu in disbelief.

Xiao Mu gave a faint smile, "I've never met him. I found out everything from that drop of blood."

"In that drop of blood, I found both the aura of the Mutant and the evil energy of the evil zombie. Therefore, I suspect that the Dragon Warrior you mentioned must have fought with the evil zombie and been injured by it."

"Seeing that the Dragon Warrior is not here and neither is the door you mentioned, I guess that the evil zombie may have eaten the Dragon Warrior after injuring him."

"As for the door, it was probably closed by the evil zombie after eating the Dragon Warrior."

"If you don't believe me, search around. You should be able to find some bones or something."

People still couldn't believe it, but they searched around as suggested. Eventually, they found a pile of bones several hundred meters away and a device similar to the communicator in Cang Wushi's hand.

This device was clearly left by the Dragon Warrior.

On the ground, besides the chaotic traces of the fight, clear traces left by the evil zombie were also present.

A strong evil energy was emitted, and all the plants in the vicinity had withered.

From this, Xiao Mu inferred that the evil zombie must have found the portal and exited through it, coincidentally encountering the Dragon Warrior.

Knowing he's outmatched, the Dragon Warrior, a second-level Mutant, decided to flee immediately after seeing the evil zombie.

The gap in their strengths was too vast; in his frantic state, the Dragon Warrior didn't even have time to contact Cang Wushi through his device before being caught and killed by the evil zombie.

After eating the Dragon Warrior, the evil zombie returned the way it came and destroyed the portal.

Xiao Mu shared his deductive conclusion, and the Grand Chan Master's expression immediately turned grave.

If it was as Xiao Mu had said, then they couldn't blame the Dragon Warrior or Cang Wushi.

Cang Wushi gratefully looked at Xiao Mu; if Xiao Mu hadn't discovered these things, Cang would have been punished for sure.

Meanwhile, King Qingshan and Red Thread Woman observed Xiao Mu with a strange expression. They hadn't noticed the anomalies Xiao Mu discovered.

"Without the door, how will we infiltrate?"

Returning to the original location of the door, the Grand Chan Master appeared disspirited.

"The door was really destroyed by the evil zombie?"

Not wanting to give up, Cang Wushi stepped forward, pounding against the stone wall.

A door had been opened in this stone wall using a special method. It was a painstaking effort, and to think the evil zombie had managed to destroy it so easily?

How were they going to infiltrate the zombie camp now? How were they going to retrieve the Air Bead?

"So you're saying, we give up on the task?"

King Qingshan's face was clouded; he was clearly out of sorts.

If they abandoned the task, they wouldn't be able to get the "Yi Jin Jing".
