My Silly, Sweet Wife

Chapter 1275 - 1265: Found the Cave

Although Black Bear still had some difficulty accepting his identity, the experience of transformation that had just occurred was undeniable, forcing him to acknowledge the truth.

"Do I really have the bloodline of the Demon Clan?"

Black Bear whispered to himself and lifted his head to look at the White Fox. "General, that boy who claims to be the Son of the Netherworld Emperor is very powerful. What do you plan to do with him?"

The cloaked figure chuckled indifferently and said, "For now, we let them and King Qin weaken each other, and we reap the benefits. Don't worry, those undead won't come to Xihu City. But you must make King Qin determined to send real experts. Only then can we exploit the opportunity."

"I will pretend to support King Qin and make him join forces with the other six kings. Hehe, when the time comes, I'll gradually have King Qin under my control. As for the Son of the Netherworld Emperor, he is not a threat."

The White Fox also chuckled softly, "Exactly, just a young boy wet behind the ears. No matter how powerful he is, how powerful could he really be? Don't worry, with him holding back King Qin and his men, it will give us the opportunity. Once our Demon Clan reclaims the land, the world will be ours."

"Indeed, demons shall roam the world, and our Holy Temple will be the servants of the Demon Clan!" The cloaked figure smiled complacently, clearly not regarding Ye Guichen as significant.

On the other side, after returning to the Three Harmonies Valley, Ye Guichen first settled the two children, then returned to the tent to gather information from the scattered fragment souls.

In processing this information, Ye Guichen was shocked to discover that nearly all living beings between Xihu City and the Three Harmonies Valley had been bitten to death.

After running around all day, he had only managed to save a tenth of the fragment souls.

The rest would likely mutate soon.

This evolution process inexplicably reminded Ye Guichen of the zombie movies he had seen before.

Hell, could this really turn into a zombie siege?

Ye Guichen couldn't help but complain inwardly.

Suddenly, a fragment soul's awareness landed in Ye Guichen's mind.

It was a concealed cave.

He discovered two unusual undead outside this cave.

The aura of these undead was distinctly different from ordinary undead, their entire bodies emitting a bronze light.

As the fragment soul neared, it felt a sense of dread, seeming to be extremely wary of the two undead.

Due to inner fear, the fragment soul quickly retreated, not lingering long.

However, this incident roused Ye Guichen's suspicion.

"Could it be that all the undead are hiding there?"

Contemplating for a moment, Ye Guichen stood up again and headed in that direction.

The place wasn't far from the Three Harmonies Valley, and despite the rough road, Ye Guichen walked as if it were flat ground.

Arriving at the location, Ye Guichen didn't appear immediately, instead hiding at a distance to observe.

He saw two undead wandering around. They not only differed from typical undead, but also wielded weapons. A hint of vitality flickered in their eyes, as if their spiritual sense had been revived.

Suddenly, a wild rabbit inadvertently wandered into the line of sight of the two undead.

One of the undead thrust its spear, precisely piercing the rabbit.

Ye Guichen was taken aback, realizing that its spear skills were unexpectedly refined.

Based on recent observations, Ye Guichen had noted that ordinary undead lacked any memories of their past lives and couldn't wield weapons. Their forte was merely skin toughness akin to that of demon beasts.

Yet these two undead not only seemed to handle weapons but also possessed a sliver of awareness.

Could it be?

Had they evolved this rapidly?

A sense of unease settled in Ye Guichen's heart.

If the undead could evolve, dealing with them would certainly become more challenging.

The undead that used the spear approached, removed the rabbit from the spear's tip, and began devouring it whole without skinning.

The other undead let out a guttural sound, tapping the undead consuming the rabbit, as if communicating something.

The undead, now feasting on the rabbit, with blood and flesh in its mouth, blinked a couple of times after listening, then tore off the remaining rabbit's fur before continuing to consume the meat.

Seeing this, Ye Guichen became all the more convinced of his hypothesis.

Damn, they had truly evolved.

And this was not a favorable sign.

Previously, ordinary Qi Refiners couldn't handle even the non-evolved undead, and conventional weapons couldn't harm them. If they evolve, dealing with them could require only high-level Qi Refiners.

Moreover, merely one day had passed.

Ye Guichen took a deep breath, struggling to maintain his composure amidst the shock. Just as he was about to charge forward to eliminate the two undead, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.

Holding his breath, Ye Guichen quickly cast the "Evergreen Technique" of Yi Wood, causing grass to grow around him, concealing his presence.

Not long after, a dozen more undead staggered over.

These undead looked as though they had just recently revived, appearing similar to those Ye Guichen had encountered before.

Lacking any awareness, they walked like they were summoned, showing no expression as they gravitated toward the evolved undead.

The two evolved undead gestured behind them as they saw more of their kind arriving.

A group of undead then stolidly moved behind the evolved pair.

Before long, the group of undead had vanished from view.

It was then that Ye Guichen noticed a cave behind the two evolved undead.

This cave was well concealed; one wouldn't notice it without closer inspection.

"Damn, is this place the nest of these undead, and is the source here as well?" Ye Guichen thought, his spirits lifted.

He glanced up to check the sky.

The sky was overcast, with most of the moon obscured by clouds.

As time passed, more undead continued heading toward the cave.

What amazed Ye Guichen even more was that, after waiting for more than half an hour, two undead were carrying a woman.

The woman cried continuously, dressed in a blood-stained garment.

Ye Guichen observed closely, noticing the woman hadn't been bitten.

"Please, let me go, let me go, okay?" The woman pleaded as she was carried by the undead.

But no one answered her.

Eventually, her cries grew hoarse.

From the looks of it, her hope was extinguished.

Afterwards, one by one, undead continued carrying women into the cave.

Ye Guichen discerned that all the carried women were above average in figure and appearance.

The entity inside had a preference for women?

Ye Guichen pondered how to find an opportunity to venture inside.

The evolved undead showed no sign of exhaustion, seemingly indefatigable in their vigilance.

"Ah, I've got it." Watching the flow of undead entering the cave, a plan sparked in Ye Guichen's mind, and swiftly, he vanished.
