I Have a Manor in the Post-apocalyptic Era-Chapter 301 – Meeting The Mysterious Zombie King Again
Yang Tian caressed Lina’s head affectionately. Although the amiable feeling towards Guna was still present, he still felt concerned about it. Moreover, Guna did not dare to approach Yang Tian as well, a deep fear could be detected coming from deep within her eyes.
The relationship between Guna and Lina was also subtle, they have never communicated with each other from the beginning till this point and they had not even exchanged gazes at each other.
“Both of you do not need to follow me. I need to make a trip somewhere.”
Yang Tian has a unique sentiment towards Lina and Guna. Towards Lina, Yang Tian had a heartfelt belief that she belongs to him. However, towards Guna, it was a mixed feeling of benefits and disadvantages.
Yang Tian did not plan to travel far this time as the destination was close to Sky Halberd Domain, the Mysterious Zombie King’s territory that was once the manor’s back mountain.
After Earth expanded, the location of the back mountain also shifted. It was once located in the south of Sky Halberd Domain, now it was located in the Southwest direction of Sky Halberd Domain, between D City and F City, closer to D City.
Yang Tian did not use his ability to fly but chose to ride a Flying-Type Dark Slime instead.
The Southwest area was basically a dense forest. There might be dangers within the forest, but it could not threaten Yang Tian who was up in the air.
A majestic mountain soon entered Yang Tian’s vision, the mountain was several times larger than the back mountain from before. The top half of the mountain was covered in clouds, hiding its peak within.
Within the mountain’s forest, Yang Tian could occasionally see patrolling… zombies.
“Can they still be called zombies?”
The representative rotting flesh of zombies was no longer there. Although their skin was still wrinkled, they now possessed real flesh and blood, while minor expressions would occasionally flash through their faces.
“Basic sentience, as expected, cannot be underestimated.”
Yang Tian would not find it strange if it were only these few zombies that displayed such attributes. However, when all the zombies he encountered here were displaying such attributes, Yang Tian could not help but find it peculiar.
The mysteriousness of the zombie king had risen once again in Yang Tian’s heart.
Just by this ability of the zombie king, he should not be without reputation. However, Yang Tian had never heard of such a zombie king in his previous life, it looks like the Post-Apocalyptic World was not as simple as it was seen on the surface.
Yang Tian wanted the Dark Slime to bring him to the mountain peak, but the Dark Slime was unable to travel further when it reached the middle of the mountain. Yang Tian used Mental Examine and noticed that there was not a single flying creature around as well.
Yang Tian leaped off the Dark Slime and instructed the Dark Slime to leave before running up the mountain.
“No obstruction? Looks like I am discovered.”
Yang Tian saw a strange palace when he arrived at the peak of the mountain, it looked like a huge kiwi fruit that was placed on the ground.
The “kiwi fruit” was emitting a faint fragrance and looked calm and serene. In front of the “kiwi fruit” was an ancient squarish stone table, on each side of the table were four stone chairs engraved with a picture of the four divine beasts: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, Black Tortise.
On the White Tiger Chair was a man in white, the Mysterious Zombie King.
Yang Tian could not detect any traces of Zombie Energy from him anymore, he looked more like a hermit human drinking tea.
“Come, sit.”
Yang Tian sat on the Azure Dragon Chair.
“Hmm?”
A strange feeling startled Yang Tian, his Inner Energy was circulating quickly and a faint dragon roar emerged from within Yang Tian’s body.
“How does it feel?” the Mysterious Zombie King asked.
“Not too bad.”
Although it felt somewhat strange, the strengthening of his Inner Energy was not fake.
“Why did you come to find me?”
“A Tri-Horn Tyrant appeared in my territory.”
“Oh, that one! It is a gift from me, do you like it?”
The Mysterious Zombie King maintain his calm composure, as though the topic of their discussion was some minor conversation.
“An adult Tri-Horn Tyrant is a Rank 7 creature.”
Yang Tian’s words were apparent. A Rank 7 Tri-Horn Tyrant was an invincible existence on Earth at this point in time. Even a Rank 5 Undead Juggernaut was an undefeatable creature at this point.
“So what? Is a Rank 7 difficult to kill?”
Yang Tian felt fear towards the Mysterious Zombie King; it has only been half a year since the Apocalypse descended and yet the other party already possessed the ability to kill a Rank 7 creature. If the zombie king focused on leading the zombies, the Celestial Empire would have likely fallen under his control by now?
“Your strength has improved quickly recently, but your foundation is not stable.”
“Oh? Why did I not feel any problems with my cultivation?”
Yang Tian had a vague feeling as well, but he was unable to locate the source of the problem.
“If I guessed correctly. You underwent a rebirth after refining a Nine Leaf Aurora?”
“Yes.”
Yang Tian was actually in shock that the Mysterious Zombie King could immediately identify that he had experienced a Light Rebirth at C City.
“The rebirth is not pure enough, there are still other attributes in your body. Only by evolving into pure Light, will you experience a true Light Rebirth.”
“You are referring to my Fire Ability?”
“No, there’s more.”
“More?”
Yang Tian was very familiar with the state of his body, it was not possible for him to not know that other Attributes were hiding in his body.
“The Dark Attribute.”
“Impossible.”
The Dark, Wind, and Earth Attributes were expelled a long time ago. Yang Tian had checked his body and only found the Fire and Light Attributes.
“It’s there. You should have guessed it as well but did not want to admit it!”
The Mysterious Zombie King pointed at Yang Tian’s head, the location where the King’s Spirit was placed.
Yang Tian had used his Dark Power to perform summons through the King’s Spirit; this caused Dark Energy to entered the King’s Spirit. In fact, Yang Tian knew that the King’s Spirit possessed Dark Energy, and he was after all still much more familiar with the power of Darkness.
When Venom merged with his Dark Attribute, Yang Tian decided to use Venom as a key to reopening his Dark Power if the Light Attribute ever affected him negatively.
“You are afraid that the Light will affect yourself?”
“Or is it because you have been corroded by darkness and fear the light?”
The Mysterious Zombie King’s words have pointed out the side that Yang Tian did not want to admit and had hidden deep in his heart. The darkness allowed him to obtain the power of a Legendary Beast Tamer. Discarding darkness for light was a huge test for Yang Tian.
“Did darkness really make you who you are? Why not try light instead!”
Yang Tian’s eyes quickly shrunk, the Mysterious Zombie King seems to know what Yang Tian was thinking or had even known that Yang Tian has gone through a reincarnation?
“No need to be fearful, I do not hold any ill intentions.”
Yang Tian pondered and felt the words were true. The Mysterious Zombie King possessed the strength to kill a Tri-Horn Tyrant, what can Yang Tian’s current strength amount to in front of the Mysterious Zombie King?
