Chapter 141 - The Geared Immortal Versus Zombie Cultivator XIX

Human versus Zombie cultivators: Chapter 1

/*unedited*/

The afternoon sky feels pleasant and the atmosphere they exuded brings calmness and peace to each and every person in the continent. This tranquil feeling would always greet those travelers as they went on their adventures.

Meanwhile, a large number of people are currently marching through the main dirt road, towards a certain village. Through their scouts, they discovered that the village they are aiming to go is currently covered in thick miasma which is like a protective screen making the village like an impregnable place.

"Master Ang, how do we proceed with this?" suddenly a woman wearing a golden armor covering her white cultivator's robe asked the man beside her.

This young woman is Xinge Lee a princess of Wu kingdom, and beside her are three other people. These people are the leaders of this fighting force. They are the ones sent by the Wu kingdom to deal with this situation.

With his hawk-like gaze, Shadow Ang turns his gaze towards a distant location where the village is supposed to be located. Then using a secret skill, he suddenly sent a surge of Qi towards his eyes and the whole forest of trees seems to become transparent. Using this kind of technique has a farther range than using spiritual sense. As his vision went through from tree to tree everything became clearer in his sight. Then he saw a black miasma covering a certain area, without a second thought he immediately sent his gaze crashing towards the thick fog like a dark miasma.

Suddenly his sight turned dark…

Ugh…

Shadow Ang could not help but groan as he felt his mind began to turn hazy. He did not expect that even with the use of his skill, he could not penetrate the thick miasma.

"Are you okay Master Ang?" a concerned voice of his companions reached his ears.

"Yeah… I'm alright. But I cannot see through the thick miasma. It's like my spiritual Qi was suddenly sucked in when I hit that thing, it actually affected my soul. We should tread carefully in entering this forest. I've seen a couple of high-level undead beast around the forest." Shadow Ang said as he shook his head to regain the clarity of this sight.

"It's that bad huh?" the man beside Xinge Lee muttered.

He then grabs his spatial pouch and took out five white beads. He out one of the beads on his breast pockets and threw the rest to his companions.

"Warding beads, this will make us enter that miasma." He said this man is Max Wo.

Max Wo is a fellow disciple of Xinge Lee and a noble in the kingdom of Wu. He has his eyes on Xinge Lee ever since he first saw her. When they became fellow disciple his fondness for the girl has increased by a lot. And now he would always follow her where ever she goes. Xinge Lee did not stop Max Wo from following her as he is now an accretive young man. In fact, he is very docile and would always obey Xinge Lee's every whim.

The warding beads he has taken out is a consumable item, it could ward off the miasma by forming a thin layer of protection around a person for two hours. With this, no smoke or mist would be able to penetrate the person holding the bead. Though it is not a precious item, it cost a lot of spiritual stones to buy one, so not many would carry this kind of item with them.

As the large group of cultivators enters the forest, they began to be wary and cautious. Then suddenly someone let out a curdling wail.

Everyone's gaze turns to the side, they suddenly saw a cultivator being drag by a tongue like a vine which has clung on his leg. Then everyone's face turned pale as they saw a huge flower-like creature no too far from them. When they use their spiritual sense to scan this thing they thought that it was just a regular huge plant. But now that they saw it they were all flabbergasted.

Right now the beast is slowly lowering the cultivator it just grabs towards its huge mouth full of razor-sharp teeth.

"That… that's a giant Bell toothed plant! Everyone, scans your surroundings, if one exists in the area then there should be more of it in this place." someone shouted from the crowd.

But as soon as his voice ended a series of shout reverberates through the air as dozens of cultivators are being dragged in every direction.

"Damn it! It seems that we have entered the giant Bell toothed plant's feeding ground." Xinge Lee shouted.

Then her eyes turn towards Shadow Ang, and with a nod, a tacit understanding glinted in their eyes. Xinge Lee immediately took out a spirit stone and began chanting some spells. Then suddenly a large amount of Qi surged out of her body as she immediately began to absorb the Qi in the stone.

She then pointed her palm towards a large plant which is currently lowering the helpless cultivator into its mouth. The cultivators which are grabbed by the Bell toothed plant became paralyzed because of the small needles from its tongue like vines.

Then from Xinge Lee's palm, a stream of extremely hot flame spewed out. When it touches the trees and shrubs on its path, everything turns into a cinder. No regular tree or plant can resist the extreme heat from her spell. When the flame hit the Bell toothed plant, its body began to combust non-stop.

Though these plants are usually covered with a Qi field which makes it hard for cultivators to deal with them, still as plants, fire is still their weakness.

And so it began to shriek and flung its vines wildly. The cultivator it was about to eat was flung to a tree which still caused him to die due to the strong impact breaking his bones.

On the other side, Shadow Ang did the same and cast two streams of flames which burned almost everything it touches. Upon seeing their action the rest of the cultivators also did the same and attack the Bell toothed plants surrounding them with fire Qi. But it is not as effective as they thought it would be. But still, they struggle to fight off the vines which are now literally flying towards them.

In the midst of this chaos, two people are standing back to back against each other as a thin layer of protection covered their bodies. These two people are Jin Fu and Ling Ya, which is currently being protected by an array formation created by Ling Ya.

"This is getting chaotic. These people are not trained to fight as one body. And those five who should be leading this group should throw commands. But they are moving on their own…" Jin Fu muttered as he observes his surroundings.

Then suddenly seven figures appear near them. When they saw the people, a smile crept on Jin Fu's face. He is well aware of why these people went to their side.

"Brother Jin! What should we do?" Bok Du immediately asked after he approached the couple along with his two brothers.

"Yeah, brother Jin… what should we do." A young woman asked. She is Lily Chen who is secretly a half-beast woman.

The rest of the people look at Jin Fu with an expectation of his leadership ability.

"Okay, everyone. This is my plan…" Jin Fu relays his plan to the rest of the group.

Then as one body, they began to move forward. They would help each other whenever someone is being attacked or was caught. And so after a while, they were able to reach the front.

When Jin Fu saw the leader of this expedition party, he shook his head. Although their skill, technique, and cultivation are high, however, they are moving independently. Then with a loud shout, he tried to grab their attention.

"Give out commands! Now!" Jin Fu shouted.

This shout contains his Qi so the rest of the people who are currently fighting heard this. Xinge Lee and the rest of her group were startled. But they just turn their heads towards Jin Fu and sneered.

Upon seeing this, Jin Fu suddenly knows their purpose. They didn't care about the lives of the cultivators. So they would just let them to their own fate.

Upon realizing this, Jin Fu gives out a helpless sigh. Then he shouted with all his might.

"Everyone gather around! Don't fight off the plants!"

Upon hearing his words, though some are not sure if they would obey yet many followed his command unconsciously. As they gather together, the plants began to have a hard time picking on them. this situation made those who have to survive felt relieved.

"What a nuisance!" Xinge Lee muttered.

"Let's go!" she shouted towards her companions as they dashed forward towards the miasma.

The reason why her group felt like doing this is that they didn't agree with this many cultivators to follow them in this quest, but the mayor insisted. So she decided to whittle the number down before they can proceed. But due to Jin Fu's interference, her plan was not successful. So she decided to leave them and continue with the quest on their own as per her original plan.

"That necromancer is all mine.. Hihihi…" she thought as she giggled like a child expecting a nice gift for Christmas.
