When we got out of the forest, we were in a car when we brought the little zombie here, so we weren't familiar with the surroundings. I looked at the verdant canyon outside and didn't know where to go.
At this time, the little zombie opened his mouth again. He pointed to the left side where the terrain was slightly higher and said, "Go to the west. There are fewer people there, and the chances of escaping will be higher. Moreover, the Dao and Xuan families, as well as the other sects of the Metaphysics Society, have ancestral lands close to the east. If they want to chase you, they will have to start from the east. It will take some time for them to chase you to the west.
We can use this time to escape or hide. "I was already numb to the little zombie's amazing performance, so I didn't ask any more questions. I just thought about what he had said and felt that it made sense. I nodded and agreed to his suggestion.
Seeing that I had agreed, the little zombie didn't say anything else and prepared to head to the west. I hurriedly pulled him back and said, "We can't just run around like this. We have to find a place to hide. I think it's a good idea to run back to the Fire God Temple. What do you think?"
I didn't know when I had made the decision, but I subconsciously took the initiative to discuss with the little zombie.
The little zombie stopped. After listening to me, he immediately shook his head. "No, the bloodstains on your body haven't been removed yet.
If we go back to the Fire God Temple now, we will only bring the people who want to kill you back with us.
At that time, I'm afraid that the Fire God Temple alone won't be able to protect you. "
After listening to him, I panicked.
Originally, my worst plan was to go back to the Fire God Temple. However, from what the little zombie had said, the bloodstains on my body were extremely hard to deal with. Even the Fire God Temple couldn't block their aura.
Although I didn't know why the little zombie had come to this conclusion, I somehow chose to believe him. I felt that he wasn't lying to me.
On the other hand, the little zombie was worried that the Fire God Temple wouldn't be able to protect me, but I was worried that if I went back, I would implicate Tao Wu.
I used to think that Tao Wu's cultivation base was very high, but now I knew that she was just a Yin God. She wasn't a match for the Heavenly Masters of Mount Longhu.
After understanding this, I immediately nodded to the little zombie and asked, "If we can't go to the Fire God Temple, where do you think we should go next?"
The little zombie shook his head again. "No matter where we go, we have to leave this place first. I'm afraid those people will find this place soon. There's no time to lose. Let's go!"
After saying that, he took the lead and sped away. His speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the valley in the west.
I wanted to stop him and find out if there were any nearby cities. Then, we could rent a car. That way, we could escape much faster than relying on our own bodies. However, I changed my mind. If we kept moving forward, we would eventually pass through the city area. It wouldn't be too late to rent a car then.
Because of my hesitation, the distance between me and the little zombie widened. After I had chased him for around ten minutes, I finally saw the little zombie waiting outside a cave in front of me.
Seeing this, I was even more bewildered.
My cultivation base was close to the Glorious Consciousness realm, and I was only one step away from the Heavenly Master realm. With the little zombie's original cultivation base, it was impossible for him to be faster than me. However, from the current situation, not only was he faster than me, but he was also much faster. It was obvious that he had been waiting for me here for a long time.
I tried my best not to ask. I wanted to ask the little zombie to slow down a little to take care of my speed. However, before I could open my mouth, the little zombie raised his hand and interrupted me. He craned his neck to look behind me. He frowned as if he had found something.
A few seconds later, he retracted his head and said to me, "There are people chasing after us. They're less than twenty kilometers away from us!"
What?
Although the little zombie had reminded me several times that those people would catch up to us soon, I hadn't thought that they would be that fast.
For a moment, I panicked, but the little zombie was extremely calm. He grabbed my arm and instructed, "I will bring you along for a while. You just need to do your best. You don't need to worry about anything else. Do you understand?"
I nodded confusedly. Before I could react, I felt a strong force on my arm, pulling my body forward at a high speed.
The strong wind caused by the fast movement instantly covered my entire body. After a while, I gradually got used to it. I tried my best to circulate all the shaman energy in my body, and finally felt a little better.
The little zombie was extremely fast. Even though he was carrying me, his speed was still much faster than mine. For the next hour or so, I felt like I was flying. After an hour or so, the little zombie suddenly stopped and put me on the ground.
When my feet touched the ground again, I actually had a feeling of motion sickness. My body was numb, and I didn't have any strength left. After standing on the ground for a few seconds, I sat on the ground and gasped for air.
On the other hand, although the little zombie was carrying someone, his expression didn't change. He was still paying attention to the movements behind us. After watching for a few minutes, he relaxed and turned to me. "Those people won't be able to catch up to us in a short time. We have half an hour to rest. After that, we will continue our journey."
At this moment, I was almost out of breath. I struggled to stand up and nodded to the little zombie to show my agreement.
The little zombie sat down cross-legged next to me. I waited for my breathing to stabilize and then started to adjust my breathing.
Although I was exhausted, the little zombie had done most of the running. Moreover, I still had the black smoke that hadn't been completely dissolved in my body. It only took around ten minutes for the shaman energy in my body to be replenished.
After opening my eyes, I checked the time. There was still half an hour left. I thought for a while then turned to the little zombie. He squinted his eyes and asked, "Who are you?
Why did you help me along the way? "
When the little zombie heard me, he opened his eyes. He turned to look at me but didn't say anything.
Around one minute later, he took out something that looked like a stone. He asked me, "Do you remember this?"
I turned around and saw the stone in his hand. It was dark brown and about the size of a fist. At first, I didn't recognize it. But after a while, I remembered that it was the stone that had appeared after the compass Zhang Kanwen had given me in the Royal Tomb of the Shang Dynasty had shattered.
At that time, the stone was only as big as a grain of rice. However, after killing the evil sacrificial spirit, the stone had grown to this size … When the evil sacrificial spirit died, everyone was so happy that they didn't pay attention to where the stone had gone. How did it end up in the little zombie's hand now?
I was a little skeptical. Before I could ask, I suddenly remembered that the little zombie had been staring at me for the past few days. It was as if a bolt of lightning had flashed through my head.
I couldn't help but ask the little zombie, "Are you that evil sacrificial spirit?"
I finally understood. When we left the Imperial Tomb of the Shang Dynasty, I felt that the little zombie's eyes were strangely big. They looked similar to the evil sacrificial spirit's. These days, his big eyes had left a deep impression on me.
At that time, I didn't think about it, and I didn't pay much attention to it. However, now that I thought about it, the little zombie was an excellent vessel. The evil sacrificial spirit hadn't died. He had used the little zombie's special body to possess him!
The little zombie's face didn't change. He calmly nodded to me and said with a hoarse voice, "That's right. When you used the Soul Sustaining Stone to bind my soul, I didn't have the strength to get rid of it. However, this zombie suddenly picked up the Soul Sustaining Stone. That's how I got rid of it. Now, I'm temporarily residing in his body."
Sure enough!
I lifted my head to look at the little zombie. I recalled the Imperial Tomb of the Shang Dynasty and the evil sacrificial spirit's ferocious appearance. I felt a little scared and retreated a little. I had a lot of questions I wanted to ask, but I couldn't.
