Zombies: Cultivating Immortality at Maoshan, Becoming Stronger by Doing Nothing

Chapter 696

"It seems we must fight quickly!"

A fierce glint flashed in Ling Yanyan's eyes, and he slapped his palms towards the black-scaled lizard.

Bang bang bang!

Ling Yanyan's fist technique was exquisite; each punch that landed on the black-scaled lizard produced a thunderous thud.

However, the black-scaled lizard had thick skin and tough flesh, and after enduring the attack, it did not suffer any damage. Ling Yanyan, on the other hand, felt a tingling and numb sensation, and his fist hurt.

"What a hard shell! This thing is so tough and thick-skinned, it's even tougher than a wall of copper and iron!" Ling Yanyan sighed inwardly.

However, Ling Yanyan was not worried. Although the Black Scale Lizard was fast, Ling Yanyan had the "Wind Control Technique" and could always find a weakness in its movements.

Moreover, the black-scaled lizard has a weakness: it has low intelligence and only knows how to fight based on instinct, and it is completely unable to comprehend any martial arts techniques.

While dealing with it, Ling Yanyan pondered a solution.

He had to hurry and kill the black-scaled lizard before it fully adapted to the aura of a human martial artist. Otherwise, once the lizard adapted to the environment, Ling Yanyan estimated that he would be in a tough fight.

Finally, the black-scaled lizard gradually realized that something was wrong, and it let out a shrill roar.

Immediately afterwards, it stomped its four hooves on the ground a few times and fled to the other side of the cave.

"Trying to run?" Ling Yanyan sneered.

The black-scaled lizard had clearly sensed that Ling Yanyan posed a threat to it, so it wanted to leave.

However, since it dared to launch a sneak attack, it shouldn't expect to escape easily.

While continuing the chase, Ling Yanyan took out a bottle of pills from his storage ring, uncorked it, and swallowed it.

Instantly, his figure blurred into two, flanking the black-scaled lizard.

boom!

The black-scaled lizard charged headlong at the phantom on the left, but was sent flying by a whip kick from the phantom on the right.

Immediately afterwards, Ling Yanyan rushed forward again.

Bang!

He punched the black-scaled lizard in the head, stunning it, then took out a dagger, plunged it into the lizard's throat, and ripped out its heart.

"There must be Blackscale Grass inside the heart of this Blackscale Lizard. Take it to Senior Brother Li; he should be satisfied!"

Ling Yanyan thought to himself.

After cleaning up the black-scaled lizard's corpse and taking the demon core from its body, he was about to leave when he heard hurried footsteps coming from the cave entrance.

"Huh? Where's the black-scaled lizard?"

Ling Yanyan's expression changed, and he quickly retreated to a corner of the cave.

"That beast is cunning; it must have run away upon hearing the news. Alas! What a pity!"

A voice came from the cave entrance.

Immediately afterward, a young man dressed in blue walked in, carrying a demon core of a black-scaled lizard. After taking in the scene in the cave, he paused for a moment, then asked, "Who are you?"

Ling Yanyan frowned. He recognized the man as the martial artist who had been traveling with him.

"You are! Ling Yanyan?" the young man in blue asked in surprise.

"you know me?"

Ling Yanyan asked in confusion.

"Hehe, have you forgotten? We hunted monsters in the Western Hills last night," the young man in blue said with a smile.

Ling Yanyan suddenly realized.

This guy, it turns out he was following me.

He nodded indifferently.

"Are you here to kill the Blackscale Lizard?" the young man in blue asked.

"Yes."

Ling Yanyan nodded: "I just killed one, but the Black Scale Lizard's weakness is its head. These things have thick skin and flesh, so it's difficult to cut off its head with one stroke."

The young man in blue shook his head and smiled wryly, "This thing is too difficult to deal with."

"They are quite difficult to deal with."

Ling Yanyan nodded.

He looked at the young man in blue, his eyes narrowing.

"Who are you? Why are you helping me?"

He found it strange that the young man in blue was only at the early stage of the sixth level of Body Tempering, which was clearly insufficient for him to hunt down the Black Scale Lizard on his own.

Ling Yanyan believed that if he were alone and encountered the Blackscale Lizard, he would probably also choose to give up.

"Hehe. My name is Wu Hai." The young man in blue cupped his hands in greeting.

"Thank you very much." Ling Yanyan smiled slightly and clasped his hands in thanks again.

This Wu Hai is quite straightforward, unlike some people who are sarcastic and eccentric.

Ling Yanyan thought to himself that he didn't like that kind of personality, so he couldn't be bothered with it.

"By the way, there's a group of zombies living near this forest, so you'd better not go too far in," Wu Hai warned.

"Oh?" Ling Yanyan was somewhat surprised: "A zombie?"

"Yes, they are very fierce and incredibly strong. Be careful not to get bitten."

After saying this, Wu Hai gave a few more instructions and then turned to leave.

Ling Yanyan watched his retreating figure with a complicated expression. What a wonderful life! No worries at all!

After shaking his head, Ling Yanyan pulled himself together, lifted his foot and continued forward. He knew which path he should take.

This place is already quite close to the depths of the forest. The surrounding trees are denser, and even the ground is covered with vines, which rustle underfoot.

The roars of two wild beasts could be heard in the distance!

Ling Yanyan raised an eyebrow, stopped in his tracks, and observed the situation.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, a pebble shot over and landed less than thirty meters away from Ling Yanyan.

"Who?"

Ling Yanyan looked around warily, but did not see anyone.

At that moment, a young man in a white outfit jumped down from the tree.

"Who are you?" Ling Yanyan asked coldly.

The young man smiled faintly, looking at Ling Yanyan with disdain: "I'm here to take your life."

"You want to kill me?" Ling Yanyan frowned. He could clearly sense the dangerous aura emanating from the white-robed youth in front of him, an aura that was definitely not possessed by ordinary people.

"Not bad." The young man nodded, his eyes gleaming with keen interest, as if he wanted to test him.

As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a phantom and instantly rushed in front of Ling Yanyan, his right hand forming a claw as he grabbed at Ling Yanyan's throat.

Ling Yanyan's eyes widened suddenly, his blood boiled, and a strong fighting spirit surged from his chest, filling him with power. He swung his right leg out!

"Oh!"

Ling Yanyan and the white-robed youth clashed, each taking several steps back, their expressions grave as they stared intently at each other.

"Not bad, young man." The young man in white grinned. "No wonder so many people want you dead."

"Hmph, enough nonsense, we'll settle this today..."

Ling Yan Yan let out a low shout, clenched his left fist and his right fist, and simultaneously blasted towards the white-robed youth!

Both were moving at extremely high speeds, too fast for the naked eye to detect; only the sound of two things cutting through the air could be heard.
