Chapter 610: Killing The Nine Commanders
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Going back in time a little.
Ten minutes ago, in the area of the Zombie King’s Cave in Dark Peak Mountain.
Dark Star floated above the sea of corpses, holding four blood-colored tokens in its palm.
This was the spoils of war he had obtained from successfully ambushing and killing four commanders half an hour ago.
It was also the key to completing the mission.
“Everything is ready except for the east wind. I miss the words of the Human Race.”
“And this time, I, Dark Star, after having endured hardships for tens of thousands of years, can finally make a name for myself!”
Excitement appeared in his eyes.
Destroying Dark Peak and killing Venerable Blood Vengeance.
This was the scene that had appeared countless times in his mind after he became a spy.
However, it was all a dream in the past.
But now, with the help of the Human Lord, her dream was about to come true.
“Kill them!”
He raised his arm and shouted.
“Rumble!!”
As soon as he finished speaking, deafening explosions sounded continuously.
The zombie wave from both sides clashed crazily.
However, in the blink of an eye, a large-scale collapse occurred at the front of the battle with the dark star as the core.
Whoosh—
In his line of sight, the zombie wave along the way was harvested by the colorful energy blades like wheat.
“!!!”
“@!%!%!#%”
The commanders of the various zombie tribes cursed angrily and kept retreating until they reached the hall of the Zombie King’s Palace.
“Damn it, Dark Star Commander actually betrayed us! He killed hundreds of thousands of my people! I must take revenge!” The eyes of the commander of the Flying Zombie Race, Mu Ye, were bloodshot as he stared at the figure hidden in the sea of corpses in the distance.
“What’s the use of saying such rubbish? Dark Star’s strength has increased drastically. Taking the time when the venerable is not around, he led his troops to kill in all directions. Before we realized it, he had already killed the commanders of the four major tribes, Long Ears, White Eyes, Golden Armor, and Silver Armor.”
“Obviously, these actions were premeditated. Instead of venting your anger here, it’s better to think of a way to deal with it!”
The eyes of the commander of the Fire Zombie Race, Dark Flame, flashed with a sharp glint. He swept his gaze across the other commanders and continued, “Everyone should know what’s behind the Zombie King’s Cave, and what mission we are carrying.”
“That’s true. With our current strength, how can we fight against the Dark Star? Even if we attack together, we will probably be instantly killed.”
The eyes of the long-armed zombie leader, Mo Yan, flashed with fear.
Before retreating, it had personally witnessed how weak the two commanders, who were stronger than it, were in the hands of the Dark Star.
One slash to kill a commander. Dark Star had never used a second move.
“That guy is too strong. If we fight him head-on, we definitely won’t be able to defeat him!” The harpy female demon commander, Reza, nodded in agreement.
“Of course I understand. The probability of defeating him is almost zero, but it’s not like there’s no way…”
Dark Flame’s expression was dark as he cracked his knuckles.
In fact, he also hated Venerable Blood Vengeance to death. In the past, the various commanders were either expelled by Blood Vengeance or transferred to other maps.
The commanders who came later thought that it was an opportunity.
After all, Blood Vengeance was the number one expert on the Zombie Divine Palace’s rankings.
According to past practices, newly promoted commanders like them could definitely take flight on the spot.
They could eat all kinds of resources and choose any top-notch secret techniques.
However, reality was cruel. On the first day they advanced to become commanders, they were warned by Venerable Blood Vengeance.
Here, the highest cultivation of the commander was only allowed to be Level 19.
If they dared to cross the line, they would be wiped out.
There was once a zombie commander from the Bronze Armor tribe who was dissatisfied.
Then, it and its clan were inexplicably drowned by the Netherworld Blood Sea that broke through the array formation in the Blood God Mine.
They were all wiped out.
From then on, all the zombie tribes on Dark Peak submitted.
Everyone was usually careful and did not dare to cultivate.
As long as one was close to advancing, one would destroy his cultivation with tears in one’s eyes.
On the other hand, the commanders of the other maps who were at the same time as them were all soaring.
Currently, even the trashiest ones were Level 24 and 25.
Compared to that, they even wanted to die.
At the same time, if not for that, they would not have encountered such a difficult situation. A group of commanders was chased by a successor commander.
What was going on!
“Tell me, do you want to suffocate a corpse!”
Upon hearing Dark Flame’s words, both Mu Ye, Mo Yan, and Reza, the remaining three zombie commanders, looked over expectantly.
“It’s simple. There are only two ways now.”
Dark Flame raised his finger. “Firstly, Dark Star’s goal is clear. It wants to kill us and obtain the token given to us by the venerable. With that, it can open the zombie king’s treasure vault and shatter the Life Crystal hidden within!”
“Therefore, all we can do is to split up and spread out. Just don’t let him find it.”
“No, no. Splitting up is purely based on luck. If we get caught by him, we will definitely die.” Commander Mo Yan shook his head repeatedly.
“It’s safer to be together.” Commander Reza coughed lightly.
Although she did not want to admit it, among the remaining four commanders, she and Mo Yan were the weakest.
Once they split up and escaped, they would definitely be buried with him.
Before the plan was completed, two commanders rejected it and the options kept passing.
After some thought, Dark Flame gritted his teeth and continued, “Secondly, the four of us will lead our respective tribes and use the blood sacrifice method to integrate into the venerable’s Life Origin Crystal…”
“Wait, a blood sacrifice?”
Mu Ye stared and said angrily, “Then we’re dead for sure. Rather than that, we might as well escape in all directions.”
Reza and Mo Yan were also shocked.
“Don’t be anxious. The blood sacrifice I’m talking about is not what you think it is.”
Dark Flame cursed in his heart. He suppressed his anger and explained patiently, “Life Origin Crystal! That’s a f*cking Life Origin Crystal refined by the venerable using the Blood Demon Scripture. Do you understand? It’s the kind that can revive you!!”
“You mean to say that we will use our soul and physical strength to integrate them into the Life Origin Crystal to strengthen it and bind our lives to it? As long as the crystal is not destroyed, we will not truly die?”
“We can even wait for the venerable to return and use the Blood God’s Reincarnation to revive us?”
Mu Ye frowned.
He vaguely remembered this ancient method regarding the Life Origin Crystal.
However, many young zombies in the Zombie Race did not know about this.
“That’s right. The only way now is to fight the Dark Star to the death.”
“His goal for this trip is clear. He has his eyes on the nine of us. He wants to fight for the token that leads to the zombie king’s treasure vault on us.”
“There are probably unknown forces ambushing the venerable outside. As long as we hold on, the venerable will be invincible.”
“Similarly, as long as the venerable doesn’t lose, we won’t die. With the contribution of sacrificing the Life Crystal, no matter how much resources we spend, the venerable will definitely choose to revive us,” Dark Flame said seriously.
“But this way, even if we successfully drag it out until the venerable comes back, after the blood sacrifice, the cultivation of the resurrected corpses will be wasted. The intelligence and consciousness we have gained might even be wiped out. We don’t even know when we will recover to our original state.” Mu Ye smiled bitterly.
This drawback had always been there.
It was precisely because of this that no intelligent zombie would choose this path unless it was at its wit’s end.
“If I lose my life, what cultivation do I still need?”
Dark Flame shouted coldly, “Make your decisions quickly. Otherwise, it will be too late even if you want to.”
Suddenly, while Reza, Mu Ye, and Mo Yan were in a dilemma.
Whoosh—
The air at the scene froze. The energy of the five elements gathered and sealed the exits of the zombie king’s cave like a water screen.
