[Enter Wuling City, go to the City Lord's Mansion, find the "Wuling Corpse King", and obtain the "Mysterious Map". ]
[Quest Reward: Skill "Seven Lotus Steps"]
"There don't seem to be many zombies outside the city," Tang Xin said in a deep voice, "It's hard to say inside the city... Are you two sure you want to go in?"
"We came out here to gain experience, so we certainly can't be cowards at this time."
Su Ling said, and Shui Qiu nodded.
Wuling City is quite large, with several city gates. The three of them chose an area where there were fewer zombies and slipped in.
As expected, the number of zombies in the city is more than a hundred times that of those outside the city. Some of them are mutant species with exceptionally tall stature or three heads and six arms, exuding a very dangerous aura.
Fortunately, before they left the military camp, they received some special powder from the elders. It is said that it can cover up the breath of living people. As long as they are not face to face, it is difficult for the zombies to sense them.
"What's the plan?"
Su Ling was lying on the roof, looking at the groups of zombies below, and asked half nervously and half excitedly.
"Judging from the distribution of the zombies, they are moving around the City Lord's Mansion," Tang Xin, who was also lying on the roof, whispered, "While the powder is still effective, we might as well go to the City Lord's Mansion to explore. Maybe we can find something."
"As expected of you, Senior Sister. You are always confident in everything you do!"
Shui Qiu said as they huddled together.
The three of them climbed over rooftops and walls carefully all the way, heading for the city center. After a while, they arrived at a mansion with a plaque with the word "Wu" hanging on it.
The lord of Wuling City is a blood relative of the emperor of Wumeng State. He is brave and good at fighting, but he failed to survive the corpse transformation.
"Wait," Su Ling suddenly said before entering the mansion, "I have a bad feeling. I'm afraid there is something dangerous in there!"
The protagonist's induction means that the protagonist can always get a warning before danger comes. It is one of the metaphysical skills that the protagonist is born with.
Tang Xin already knew that there was a corpse king inside, so he was not surprised at all.
"Fight if you can win, run if you can't."
After making preparations to sneak in → fight → escape, the three entered the city lord's mansion.
What’s amazing is that the zombies here... can talk!
Not only can they talk, but they can also communicate with each other. If it weren't for their zombie appearance and the lack of any breath of life, one might mistakenly think that these people are still alive.
"The sense of danger ahead is greatly enhanced," Su Ling said with a serious face, "We are so lucky that we have found the source of the corpse transformation?"
"Just look at it and you'll find out."
Following Su Ling's intuition, Tang Xin and others came to the backyard of the mansion. From afar, they saw a man who was emitting a dark aura, had a burly figure, and had skin without a trace of blood.
This person should be the "Black Spirit Corpse King".
What should I do next to obtain the "Mysterious Map"?
[Generating options...]
Chapter 42: The Dancing Goddess vs. the Evil Boss
[Option 1: Push the two companions out, bypass the zombie king, break into the house and get the map. ]
[80% chance of success, reward: the ultimate secret technique "Black Heart Claw".]
Huh? There's no penalty for failure when doing something like this?
[Option 2: Fight the corpse king with two companions. After killing it, break into the house and get the map.]
[The success rate is 50%, and the reward is the medium-grade secret technique "Whirlwind Kick". If it fails, there is a 50% chance that one of the companions will be seriously injured.]
[Option 3: Dance in front of the corpse king to attract his attention, let the two companions go into the house, and get the map. ]
[The success probability is 50%, and the reward ability is "Dance Mastery". There is no penalty for failure. ]
Option 2 is not cost-effective in terms of risk-return, so you can only choose between option 1 and option 3.
The first one seems to have the highest success rate, but it does not specify the penalty for failure. The third one seems to have the lowest success rate, but it indicates that there is no penalty for failure.
Push them out, or...
"He didn't move an inch in this yard, as if he was guarding something," Su Ling frowned and said, "There might be something strange in that room."
"This corpse king's pressure is so strong that it's too difficult for us to deal with it," Shui Qiu also whispered, "We should divert its attention and go around the room to investigate."
"Why did you steal my lines..."
Can the protagonist just steal the spotlight?
"Well," Su Ling put his hand on the hilt of the sword and said with determination, "I'll attract its attention, and you guys take the opportunity to search!"
"That's enough. Your thin arms and legs will be broken with just one slap." Tang Xin flicked her forehead and rolled her eyes. "I'll attract the attention of the corpse king. You guys go around and search."
"Well, just say it, why are you flicking my forehead?!"
[Current shyness value: 10]
"Sister..."
Shui Qiu gave him a worried look.
"Don't worry," Tang Xin said calmly, "I have a way to delay for enough time, you guys go quickly."
Seeing the senior sister's confident expression, the two girls had no choice but to nod, go around from the other side, enter the room and start searching.
Tang Xin's calm expression stiffened.
So, the question is, what should I do if I can’t dance?
As a senior sister who has done all kinds of evil, how could she possibly have the skill of dancing?
Shit, why don’t we just pick up the Soul-Devouring Banner and go up and fight him head-on?
Tang Xin looked down at his weapon.
Wait, it seems like I don’t know how to do it at all…
……
Swish!
As usual, the Black Spirit Corpse King was patrolling back and forth in front of his courtyard like a loyal boss.
Suddenly, a girl with a strange cane jumped out from the bushes.
"Intruders, be punished..."
He swung his arm, ready to smash it to pieces with a slap.
Then, this guy started dancing in front of him.
The Corpse King has a weakness that is not marked on the panel. When he sees a beautiful woman dancing, his attention will be attracted and he will be in a stiff state and will not actively attack.
It was a powerful person in its lifetime and had seen almost all kinds of dances.
But having said that, this dance in front of me is really...
"Shimmer, glimmer, glimmer—"
Tang Xin waved his cane vigorously, swaying to the rhythm.
I didn't expect that the knowledge I learned in "X-Fa Tiannv" could be used in such a place!
Fortunately, there were no outsiders here, otherwise I would have died in Wuling City today!
"Let me honey you!"
Uh--
Not only was the Corpse King's entire body stiff, but black blood began to flow from the corners of his mouth, and he looked to be in an extremely confused state!
The lethality is too strong!
However, this state did not last long.
after awhile.
[The mission has been completed, and the reward is the skill "Seven Lotus Steps". ]
"How dare you steal my treasure!"
The Wuling Corpse King woke up, turned around suddenly, and caught his eyes on the two girls who were escaping from the house.
"Found it," Su Ling shouted, "It's a map!"
"What are you waiting for?" Tang Xin put away the Soul Devouring Banner and immediately started running. "Hurry up and run!"
After meeting the two girls, she didn't care about exposing her tracks, she simply climbed over the wall and quickly ran out of the mansion.
"Catch—me—the king!"
From behind, the roar of the Black Spirit Corpse King was heard.
In an instant, all the zombies in the mansion locked their eyes on the three girls and rushed towards them from all directions at the speed of wind.
"We seem to be in big trouble!"
Shui Qiu's expression changed drastically.
With so many zombies, even if she and Su Ling were at Tang Xin's level, the three of them could not resist them together, not to mention that there were more ordinary zombies and mutant zombies outside!
[Seven Lotus Steps: A secret technique created by the Seven Lotus Fairy. Lotuses will grow on the soles of the feet during movement, greatly increasing speed and dodge ability in a short period of time!]
let's go!
Tang Xin grabbed one with each hand and stepped into the air. Lotus platforms condensed out of thin air and he stepped on the zombies' heads, perfectly avoiding the attacks.
"Where to run!"
The Black Spirit Corpse King caught up, black light condensed from his mouth, and a black beam of light attacked Tang Xin.
Tang Xin was not in a hurry. He held the two girls and did a 360-degree spin in the air to avoid the attack. He then stepped on a lotus platform, changed direction, and dodged nimbly.
"When did you learn the art of body movement?"
The swordsman girl who was clamped at the waist asked in confusion.
"I just learned it," Tang Xin said. "Also, I feel like you're a bit heavy...Your breasts aren't big, but you're quite heavy."
"It's the weight of the sword! It's the weight of the sword!"
