"Previously, a blood bead was priced at two small spiritual stones each, now they've risen to three. Tsk, looks like they have scant opportunities to hunt demonic beasts and mortals for refining blood beads."Chu Xuan's gaze then drifted to the side. The lesser storage bags of these three Divine Star Sect disciples piqued his anticipation even more, for they were akin to blind boxes that might contain treasures.He methodically opened each bag. A sparkle flashed in his eyes. The belongings in the bags of the two fifth-level Qi Refining disciples were mundane, containing only three to four hundred small spiritual stones and the standardized magic tools granted by the Divine Star Sect.However, the bag of the seventh-level Qi Refining disciple was far more promising, holding two medium spiritual stones and over eight hundred small spiritual stones, along with a set of the Qi Gathering Array and a Mystifying Array, both optimal for establishing a cave dwelling.Beyond these, Chu Xuan une

Chu Xuan laughed heartily, "Well done indeed, bringing a live one so quickly. I'll make you a companion shortly."Hu roared excitedly in response.Chu Xuan casually took a seat on a chair and waved his hand. Hu then forced Wang Bao to kneel in front of the young man."Oh, you've been bitten? Good, killing you won't reduce my merit," Chu Xuan noted Wang Bao's fingers with a nonchalant smile.Seeing his smile, Wang Bao instinctively felt fear. He somehow felt as though he was facing a ferocious beast, not a person.Unable to contain his curiosity, Wang Bao asked, "Who are you? Why can you control Brother Hu?"Chu Xuan chuckled strangely, "You know Hu? Looks like you must be from the Spirit Hounds, huh?" Wang Bao nodded.Chu Xuan's pupils flashed with a purple light, "Good, you answer my questions now."At that moment, Wang Bao felt as if his soul had been seized, turning him into a puppet who could only comply. This spell, known as the "Soul Capturing Gaze," was a low-tier Qi Refining s

The surrounding gang members looked bewildered. This was their leader, Zhao Hong, always high and mighty. Yet now, to save his own life, he seemed ready to agree to anything.Chu Xuan couldn't help but laugh silently.Gay? That's not what I meant.Calmly, Chu Xuan commanded, "Hu, tie him up and take him to the rooftop. Bao, you stay here with the two dogs and make sure no one leaves."Hu and Bao roared in acknowledgment of their orders.The Spirit Hounds members looked at each other, bewildered. With Zhao Hong kneeling and capitulating, they certainly didn't dare to flee. To them, this was merely a change of leadership. Regardless of who was in charge, they were still just underlings.The young man couldn't possibly manage everything alone, could he? Thinking this, the gang members gradually calmed down and returned to their rooms to continue whatever they had been doing.On the rooftop of the Haotai Hotel, Hu arranged a clean reclining chair, and Chu Xuan lay down comfortably. Zhao H

"You two, are you level one Superhumans? Military background?" Chu Xuan's gaze fell on the two men in black. He could tell from their coordinated actions that such synergy was unlikely to be honed outside of a military environment.The two men exchanged a glance and nodded.Zhuang Qiang spoke earnestly, "We are from the Linjiang Army of Linjiang Province, tasked with retrieving the zombie bear's Psionic core and ensuring Professor Zheng's safe evacuation."Chu Xuan nodded slightly. Even with the zombie crisis and the advent of the apocalypse, as long as humanity had not been extinguished, there would at least be nations and powers still existing. Clearly, the official power of the Han Dynasty still held sway."Who is supposed to evacuate you?" Chu Xuan asked casually.Sun Meng replied, "Black Blade Security Company. They will use a helicopter to get us out."Chu Xuan nodded, "Why haven't they come?"Zhuang Qiang replied with a helpless expression, "Their helicopter hadn't been used in

These zombies, which had been lively and energetic not long ago, were now dead. And their deaths were peculiarly unsettling."Stop, I need to go down and look," Zheng Baoshan said sternly.Wang Yong hesitated, "But there might still be zombies hiding below...""I said I want to go down," Zheng Baoshan fixed his gaze on Wang Yong, his voice icy and deliberate.Wang Yong dared not offend further and quickly lowered the helicopter.Moments later, under the protection of Zhuang Qiang and Sun Meng, Zheng Baoshan approached the outside of the unfinished building. Now, standing closer, they could see the skeletal remains scattered everywhere.Zhuang Qiang pulled out a military knife and sliced open a corpse, finding not a trace of blood. With a slight squeeze, the remains crumbled into debris as fine as gravel, as if all the blood and moisture had been extracted."How could this have been done?" Zheng Baoshan was speechless.Only about half an hour had passed since they had left, and now tho
