In contrast, Chu Xuan seemed rather unremarkable. It appeared his talents were not as formidable as Li Xuanming had once thought, and any previous wariness he might have had towards Chu Xuan gradually dissipated.Chu Xuan responded with a light nod and a smile. Li Xuanming's lack of wariness towards him was indeed a favorable turn of events. Previously, he had harbored concerns that the senior brother of Extreme Yin Cave might harbor jealousy, potentially forcing Chu Xuan into a dire confrontation.Wu Teng, much like Li Xuanming, merely exchanged greetings with Chu Xuan, offering no further conversation, instead continuing his discussion with Chen Zhaofeng.In contrast, Liu Zhenxiong approached Chu Xuan warmly to discuss recent happenings. Although Chu Xuan had been vigilantly observing external changes and committing them to memory, he patiently listened to Liu Zhenxiong's account. It was clear that this senior brother truly regarded him as both a junior brother and a friend.After a

Zhou Yu's mouth hung open in shock.Chu Xuan growled, "Retreat! There's a powerful Gu Master nearby!"He admitted to himself that he lacked such a stealthy method of Gu placement. Unnoticed, Zhao Luan had been afflicted with Gu!Zhou Yu swallowed hard and immediately started to run."Hey, where are you guys... why can't I see you?" Zhao Luan's vision had been devoured by the Gu worms without his awareness. He didn't realize that Chu Xuan and Zhou Yu had already turned to flee."It's itchy... so itchy!" Zhao Luan felt the itchiness transform into pain. Driven mad, he scratched fiercely with his nails, tearing his skin until blood flowed freely.With a heavy thud, he fell from midair, crashing into a mix of blood and mud. The Gu worms swarmed over him, engulfing him completely.Elsewhere, Chu Xuan and Zhou Yu were nearing the exit of the mist. Suddenly, a cold snort echoed behind them."Hmph, thinking of escaping? Leave your life behind!"A foul wind, reeking of blood, struck without wa

Barely holding onto his sanity, Old Lu drew a short knife from his belt and stabbed it into his own arm. The intense pain momentarily gave him the upper hand over the madness."Captain... kill me!" he pleaded. But in the next instant, he lunged ferociously at the Old Captain.The mushroomization had enhanced his physical strength. Within three seconds, he was upon the Old Captain, his mouth filled with mushrooms opening wide to spray spores."Rest in peace..." Old Captain's face filled with sorrow, swung the anchor hard. With a sickening crunch, Old Lu's head was smashed into the concrete, mixing red blood and white brain matter. His body twitched momentarily before finally going still.In the distance, intense gunfire continued. Soon, a squad fighting a retreating battle joined the Old Captain. The leader of the squad was a robust man named Feng Biao. Like the Old Captain, he had been a fisherman in the East Sea before the zombie outbreak and had fortunately awakened his talents to b

"Could this possibly serve as a wood attribute spiritual item?" Chu Xuan mused, his interest piqued. If he wanted to cultivate the Evil Wood Spiritual Body, he would need to refine a wood attribute spiritual item every three days, a total of thirty-three times to achieve a minor completion."Its energy might not reach the level of a wood attribute spiritual item, but I can give it a boost!" Chu Xuan recalled another method from the Blood Evil Demon Refining Scripture.For righteous cultivators, spiritual items were rare treasures, obtained either by spending a fortune in markets or by searching through mountains and rivers over long periods. But for demonic cultivators, spiritual items could be created—provided one had a suitable "seed."For wood attribute spiritual items, a wood attribute "seed" was needed. To Chu Xuan, Stinkhorn's psionic core seemed an ideal candidate."To create a wood attribute spiritual item, a significant amount of wood attribute beings is needed. Fortunately,

Panther Cap pointed in the direction of the fading sword light, "I've seen it, the Immortal just flew out of the Marsh. It's likely that my brothers are all dead."The Grass King expressed surprise before asking, "What will you do then? Will you fight the Immortal to the death?"Hatred flickered in Panther Cap's eyes. "Of course, I want revenge! But not now. I will take my followers far from the Great Dream Marsh to find a new territory, where we can secretly gather strength. When I become a level six supernatural being, I will return to kill the Immortal and avenge my brothers!"Panther Cap looked at the Grass King, "We are allies; you will help me, right?""Of course, we are allies, eternal allies," the Grass King nodded.Panther Cap felt moved, "Thank you.""You're welcome," the Grass King smiled. The next moment, numerous grassroots burst from the soil, piercing into Panther Cap's body. These roots had been lying in ambush all around him and now emerged suddenly, leaving him no ti
