1292: As Expected

As Expected

"Serves you right." Qiao Mu deadpanned as she left him with these words. Afterwards, she trotted forward with short steps.2

After recovering from his speechlessness, Eldest Young Sir Qin glowered at the nearby teammates who were laughing up their sleeves.

Mo Lian also smirked as he quickly chased after his little wife. "Qiaoqiao, walk slower. You don't need to hurry."

Qiao Mu was quite anxious. She wanted to inspect to what extent Jiaozhong Fortification had gotten destroyed.

How exactly had the people from the underground organization contaminated the water sources?

The group of people trekked on foot. Other than the superhumans with exceptional hearing ability who found the march strenuous, everyone else found it effortless.

After advancing for less than two hours, they saw Jiaozhong Fortification's city gates erected not far from them.

Thirty plus headless zombies were wandering about before the city gate.

When they smelled the scent of humans, they all turned their heads, their glowing red eyes flickering as they scanned Qiao Mu and company.

"Everyone be careful, these are all level-four zombies." After giving this warning, Qiao Mu shot out an arrow from her crow repeating crossbow, and it pierced through one of the zombie's skulls.

After piercing through the first zombie, the arrow continued to skewer the skull of a second zombie that was pouncing over.

A single arrow eradicated two zombies.

The crow-gold arrow spun a circle in mid-air before loading itself on the crow repeating crossbow again with a swish.

When everyone else saw this, they were not willing to be outdone, and they all thrust out their mystic energy at the several dozen zombies from far away.

One burst of dense, white mystic energy after another instantly struck down each and every zombie.

For the few that had evaded the first burst of mystic energy, the second round of mystic energy that followed closely bombarded them into smithereens.

This battle was basically a one-sided extermination.

Once the hundred great mystic cultivators had cleaned away the thirty plus zombies at the city gate, they followed Mo Lian and Qiao Mu quickly into Jiaozhong Base.

More than half of Jiaozhong Fortification's arched gate had already collapsed, and shattered stones had been mixed into all the nooks and crannies.

Just as they entered, they saw a woman who had lost half of her head sitting at the city gate. She was also cuddling a child who had lost more than half his body.

"So pitiful." A female mystic cultivator sighed as she strode up to the mother and son.

"Don't go over!" Alongside a harsh shout, the woman who had originally been sitting stiffly this entire time suddenly opened a single eye. She was letting out shrill screeches as she attempted to pounce at the female mystic cultivator.

*Swish!* The crow-gold arrow shot through the woman's skull.

Simultaneously, that female mystic cultivator reacted quickly and flicked out a burst of mystic energy. She then pounced at the woman's arms where she was carrying the child who had lost half of his body but still had his eyes open.

The mother and son were skewered simultaneously with the crow-gold arrow, and there was finally no noise after they rolled to the side.

The female mystic cultivator heaved a sigh of relief before she turned to nod at Qiao Mu. "Thank you."

"These zombies have gradually gained intelligence," Liang Qingqing commented with a cold but pretty face.

"At the start, they would learn to hide or disguise themselves, watching for a chance to launch an attack."

"Be careful, it's uncertain what else there will be in here." Situ Yi looked up at the sky with a solemn expression.

The dark mist enveloping the sky above this fortification seemed to contain a little bit of something else.
