Chapter 401 Zombies Claim Life
The golden-armored general cast his gaze downwards and saw that Xin Zhen was indeed looking at him. The general kept his hands moving but nodded to Xin Zhen.
Xin Zhen was very shocked and wondered why the god would nod to a mortal like him.
The divine dragon and generals in the sky disappeared into the clouds in an instant and went to spread snow elsewhere.
The dragon noticed the general's movements. After disappearing into the clouds, the dragon asked, "General Teng, are you acquainted with that mortal?"
General Teng shook his head and said, "That person can see us, he must be a powerful person. It is normal for him to nod and signal us when he sees us. Don't ask so many questions. Today's mission is heavy. The area north of the Yangtze River will have three feet of snow. You have the energy to talk, so why not hurry on."
This dragon was probably a chatterbox. After being scolded by General Teng, he didn't know how to shut up and continued to mutter: "General Teng, do you know why it snowed three feet? That's three feet of snow, and it's going to cover the entire Jiangbei area. Tsk tsk, I don't know how many people will freeze to death now. What a sin!"
God General Teng raised his foot and stomped hard. The dragon was shaken all over. Knowing that God General Teng was angry, it quickly swung its tail hard and its speed suddenly increased.
Xin Zhen and his servant naturally had no idea what was happening in the sky. They only knew that the wind and snow were getting stronger and stronger. Later, Xin Qi could not even walk and his little face turned pale from the cold.
Xin Zhen put his hand on Xin Qi's shoulder. Xin Qi felt a warm current coming from Xin Zhen's hand. Suddenly, his whole body felt warm and his feet felt stronger.
Xin Qi was surprised and said, "Master, is this magic? It's amazing."
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "There is an inn just ahead. Let's go there and stay the night."
Seeing that Xin Zhen did not answer, Xin Qi did not ask any more questions and felt relieved. It was good to have a hotel to stay in. On a snowy night like this, if there was no hotel to stay in, it would be really life-threatening.
The two of them quickly quickened their pace and arrived in front of the shop on the road.
As the name suggests, this kind of roadside shop is opened on the side of the road. It is generally used to accommodate passing merchants, coachmen, etc. The conditions are naturally not good, but on such a windy and snowy day, as long as there is a place to stay, it is good enough. There is no time for them to be picky.
Xin Zhen and his servant were very lucky. There was only one room left in this roadside inn, and they arrived at the right time. However, the four people who arrived later had no room to stay in.
The four men looked extremely tired. It was a snowy and windy day outside and the darkness had already enveloped the earth. They were unwilling to go out at this time and could only beg the store owner to find a place for them to stay.
The shop owner was an old man. Seeing that the four people were very sincere, he took them to the back.
Xin Zhen just glanced at them and went back to the room. It was impossible for him to give up the room, so why bother to meddle in other people's business.
It was snowing heavily outside, so Xin Zhen and his servant naturally had no intention of walking around. They hid in the room and lit the stove. The store owner sent some food, which was simple but warm. It was precious to be able to eat warm food and drink a bowl of hot water on such a snowy day.
The master and servant went to sleep after the meal. Xin Qi was probably very tired, and he began snoring loudly not long after lying down. Xin Zhen was not very tired, so he lay down with his eyes closed, resting his mind while practicing the Chunyang Wuji Gong.
This world is too dangerous. Although the Pure Yang Wuji Kungfu may not be able to deal with ghosts and gods, there are more people who harm people in this world than ghosts and gods. In fact, many more people die at the hands of humans than at the hands of ghosts and gods. Therefore, you have to practice as hard as you can. Every extra combat power you have means more safety.
When Xin Zhen was practicing internal energy, he could sit, lie down, and walk independently. He practiced for an unknown period of time and then fell into a drowsy sleep. Suddenly, he felt a cold and vicious breath coming towards him, and Xin Zhen woke up with a start.
The strong wind outside had stopped and everything was silent. Xin Zhen looked out of the window and saw only a vast expanse of white between the sky and the earth. Xin Zhen didn't know where the cold and malicious feeling came from, and he looked around but found nothing.
Xin Zhen was just about to continue sleeping when he heard someone outside crying for help in a heart-wrenching voice, followed by the sound of fleeing footsteps and heavy thumps from behind, as if someone was jumping and chasing after him.
Xin Zhen immediately got up and went out. Before leaving, he glanced at Xin Qi, only to see that Xin Qi seemed to be unaware of anything. Even the loud cries for help did not wake him up.
Xin Zhen frowned slightly and walked out of the room. The entire inn was quiet. The guests in the inn seemed to be completely unaware of the loud cries for help outside.
Xin Zhen was slightly shocked. He thought that the cold and malicious feeling he had before might not be that simple. It might have the function of making people faint temporarily, or blocking their five senses. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them not to hear such a loud cry for help.
Xin Zhen followed the voice outside. The strong wind had stopped, but the heavy snow had not stopped. In the heavy snow, he saw two people walking in the snow, one in front and one behind. The person in front shouted for help, and the one behind seemed to be a woman, but her hands and feet looked stiff, and it was very heavy for her to run.
With Xin Zhen's life experience, how could he not guess that the woman was probably not a human being.
Xin Zhen stepped hard and suddenly he was like a wisp of smoke, passing the woman and catching up with the man in front of him. When he got closer, he saw that they were the four guests who did not have a room when they stayed in the hotel.
When Xin Zhen suddenly approached, the man thought it was a woman who caught up with him and screamed in fear. When he saw clearly that it was Xin Zhen, he burst into tears of joy and said, "Help me! Help me!"
Xin Zhen nodded, stopped, turned and faced the woman. He saw that the woman had a piece of raw silk tied on her head and her face was pale yellow. It was obvious at a glance that she was not a living person.
When the female corpse saw Xin Zhen blocking the way, she immediately stretched out her hands and pounced on Xin Zhen. Xin Zhen didn't know what was so special about this female corpse, so he naturally didn't want to let her get close to him, so he slapped her with his palm.
The palm strike was extremely powerful, carrying snow particles as it rushed towards the female corpse. With a bang, it hit the female corpse directly in the chest. The female corpse was immediately knocked a few feet away, but in an instant, the female corpse jumped up, as if she was enraged, and roared as she rushed towards Xin Zhen.
Xin Zhen was a little surprised. Although this palm was a palm force that hit the air, with his fifty years of Pure Yang Wuji Gong skills, if it were in the world of martial arts, if this palm hit the chest of those masters, there would probably be few who could remain unscathed.
Although the female corpse was knocked away, it seemed that she was not seriously injured. Moreover, judging from the momentum with which she pounced towards him, it was obvious that she must be extremely powerful.
This was not the first time that Xin Zhen had seen such a supernatural event, but this was the first time he had encountered a zombie-like species, and he wanted to try out the capabilities of this species.
