I Contracted Myself

No words were spoken that night.

The next day, Wuming took the dried meat and wrapped it with the oil paper that had been used to wrap the dry food, and then continued on the road.

Although the destination was already in sight, everyone was as steady as an old dog, and there was no hurry. Instead, they moved slowly and even deliberately slowed down.

Wuming Peak was the source of the zombie disaster. Although the zombie disaster had been resolved, no one actually knew what was happening at Wuming Peak.

Everyone was actually conserving their energy and preparing for the biggest test.

Although this level was dangerous, the mortality rate did not seem to be particularly high compared to the previous tests, and no one had died so far.

Everyone present knew very well that this level would not end so easily.

‏​​‎​‏‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎Especially Wuming and Ni Hongye, they had a vague intuition that the zombie disaster must have a sequel, after all, the zombie disaster was actually a disaster caused by the emperor's pursuit of immortality.

The emperor might not give up as long as the White Medicine Immortal was still alive.

As long as what they did was not exposed, the ignorant people would at best regard it as a natural disaster, and the zombies could not be blamed on the court, so the experiment was likely to be ongoing.

Wuming Peak is very likely to hide huge dangers.

While Wuming and others were slowly on their way, the men in brocade clothes arrived at Wuming Peak first by some unknown means.

"Master Bai, Xiang Mingzi's body has been found. He seemed to have met a mountain lion when he was escaping, and ended up being the ghost of the mountain lion. Only a head is left. Please take a look, Master Bai." The man in brocade clothes handed over the box and said neither servilely nor arrogantly.

Bai Yaoxian turned around from the table, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly walked to the box. He opened the box and saw the familiar face of his apprentice, and then he sighed.

This apprentice was an abandoned baby he picked up when he traveled all over the country. He watched him grow up since he was a child and originally planned to be his successor.

Who knew that it would end up like this.

But who can be blamed for this?

If he succeeds in studying the Eight Techniques of Immortality, his life span will be endless, and he won't need to consider the issue of succession.

He was willing to let Xiang Mingzi continue to follow him, which was a great favor. Xiang Mingzi didn't appreciate it and even tried to steal his manuscripts. This was all his own fault. "Did you kill the mountain king?"

Bai Yaoxian closed the box again, his eyes fell on the man in brocade clothes, and he looked up to these hawks and dogs.

It's not easy for a tiger to turn into a mountain king, but once it succeeds in turning into a mountain king, it will no longer be an ordinary beast. They are smart and cunning, good at hiding their tracks, and come and go like the wind, and their movements are very agile.

Even if dozens of masters of the inner force realm come together, they will have to die before they can take it down, and this can only be successful in a place with a wide field of vision.

In the mountains and forests, it is estimated that even a barracks of soldiers cannot take down the mountain king, and they will only give up their lives in vain.

"It was not killed by us. When we arrived, the mountain king was already dead." The man in brocade clothes answered truthfully.

Bai Yaoxian frowned, turned around and asked: "Has the abdomen of the tiger been cut open?"

"Opened!" the man in brocade clothes replied.

Bai Yaoxian knew the nature of his former apprentice and former medicine boy very well, and walked to the box with a sigh. After opening the box, he carefully took out the head and put it on the table.

He took a jar on the table and opened it. There were many small insects similar to red worms inside.

Wearing gloves, he carefully picked up a worm and put it on the top of Xiang Mingzi's head, watching the worm drill into Xiang Mingzi's head, and then he took out two insect pupae, first fixed Xiang Mingzi's eyes with instruments, so that the originally closed eyes opened.

Then he cut off the tip of the insect pupa with scissors, and immediately aimed the port at Xiang Mingzi's eyeball.

In an instant, dense filaments shot out from the insect pupa, and penetrated Xiang Mingzi's eyeball in the blink of an eye. The insect pupa was attached to the eyeball, just covering the pupil.

After the two eyes were treated in the same way, Bai Yaoxian took off his gloves and put them aside, signaling the man in brocade clothes and others to come and watch.

After a moment, the two insect pupae collided with the red worms in Xiang Mingzi's brain, and the two immediately fought and broke free from the parasitic space, but the two soon died after being entangled.

With their death, the insect pupae bloomed like petals, and at the same time two beams of light shot out from the middle of the petals.

The two beams of light overlapped to form a picture, and even sound came out between the vibrations.

At first, the picture was pitch black, and only the crying of children could be heard, followed by the roar of tigers and the sound of wind, and a moment later, footsteps came quickly. "Someone is rushing towards the mountain king!" The man in brocade clothes immediately made a judgment after hearing the sound.

Then there was the sound of meat being cut open, and the man in brocade clothes said solemnly: "With one knife, the mountain king was disemboweled. That person is very strong."

At this time, the sound of cutting meat was heard again, and the picture turned from darkness to light. A man and a woman appeared in Xiang Mingzi's sight, and at this time they were also exposed to the eyes of Bai Yaoxian and others.

"It's them!" Bai Yaoxian said.

The man in brocade clothes looked at Bai Yaoxian, and Bai Yaoxian said calmly: "I have a good friend who happened to have five good things that are very helpful for the experiment, so I sent people to get them, but the people I sent died or were disabled. I just need to entrust these five things to a powerful but unknown escort agency and have them deliver them to Taizhou."

It is said that they went to get them, but it was obviously a fight, and many people died before they were "taken".

Because too many people died, there was not enough manpower over there, so they had to spend money to hire people to deliver the goods, and they found a small escort agency with considerable strength.

"Since they know something they shouldn't know, you go and get the things back." Bai Yaoxian said to the man in brocade clothes after watching the 'video playback'.

The man in brocade clothes nodded and took the task.

As the emperor's personal soldiers, the Shura Guards themselves have the task of doing things that are not allowed to be seen in the light for the emperor. If the world knows that the zombie disaster is caused by the emperor's desire for immortality, it will probably cause a huge problem.

Even if the Shura Guards did not have Bai Yaoxian's order, they would take the initiative to find Wuming and others. It's just a matter of before and after.

If Bai Yaoxian did not give the order, they would wait for Wuming and others to deliver the goods to Wuming Peak, and then kill people. Now that Bai Yaoxian has given the order, they will kill people first and then take the goods back.

Although the order has changed, it makes no difference to the Shura Guards.

Night falls.

Wuming and others walked to a bamboo forest. After confirming that there were no mimics, they made a fire and prepared to eat and rest.

If there were mobile phones and Internet, staying up late would not be too painful, but without mobile phones and Internet, staying up late would become very boring and a torture.

It was Mark's turn to stay up late tonight. He enthusiastically cut down a section of bamboo and prepared to make a flute to play with.

After all, the night was long, so you had to find something to kill time.
