Chapter 343: Chapter 343: An Ominous Object
Indifferent!
The Emperor Zombie remained utterly indifferent, ignoring Lin Fan's enthusiasm. However, when their gazes met, the Emperor Zombie involuntarily looked away.
A strange situation.
The Emperor Zombie roared in fury, its arms thrusting towards Lin Fan's chest. Its sharp, black nails were capable of tearing through any living creature.
Crack!
The nails shattered.
Attacking without understanding Lin Fan's physical condition was an unwise choice.
The Emperor Zombie trembled, staring at its hands in disbelief, as if it had seen a ghost.
"What are you doing?" Lin Fan asked.
He hadn't expected the zombie to attack him. From the beginning, he hadn't provoked it at all. Yet, for some unknown reason, the zombie was incredibly agitated and unwilling to communicate.
"A ferocious aura, a heavy stench of blood, you have harmed many lives. I was willing to converse with you, to see what troubles you have encountered."
"Since this is the case... I can only take action against you."
"Old Zhang and I saw something on TV that resonated with me, and I have my own understanding of it. Killing one deeply sinful person can save many more."
"Subduing Demon Seal!"
Lin Fan struck with his palm. The moment his hand landed on the Emperor Zombie, a terrifying power shattered the dazzling body into pieces, vanishing into thin air.
Everything happened too quickly.
Everyone was caught off guard.
Initially, One-Eyed Man was confused, unable to comprehend Lin Fan's actions. It was simply baffling. What was there to discuss with a zombie? But soon, he wanted to cheer.
Overpowering!
Well done!
That's how it should be done, beating the opponent mercilessly.
Moreover, Lin Fan's methods were truly domineering, obliterating the Emperor Zombie in an instant.
In the livestream:
"Is this the dominance of a true powerhouse?"
"Damn! As expected of my idol, no matter how powerful you are, in the hands of my idol, you're instantly reduced to ashes."
"The Dog Broadcaster has successfully escaped another disaster."
Many powerful individuals watching the livestream were shocked. Lin Fan was too formidable, definitely not someone they could provoke. Fortunately, he didn't seem to have a thirst for conflict; otherwise, their lives would be difficult.
But soon, the livestream chat erupted in alarm.
The Emperor Zombie hadn't died. It reappeared before their eyes.
"This..."
Elder, One-Eyed Man, and the others were dumbfounded.
Even after being obliterated, it could still revive.
Unbelievable.
Elder was the most shocked. Although countless unimaginable things occurred in the vast starry sky, witnessing them firsthand was different from hearing legends.
Simultaneously, he realized something crucial.
The Emperor Zombie's strength was indeed inferior to his. However, if Lin Fan hadn't appeared, he would have likely died at the zombie's hands.
What was going on?
Elder felt something was amiss.
With his strength, he should have been able to dominate. Yet, a zombie with noticeably lower power could still kill him.
This was a serious problem.
"It appeared again?" Lin Fan was astonished.
He hadn't expected the creature he just destroyed to return.
The Emperor Zombie roared and lunged at Lin Fan.
"Careful..."
Wu Sheng urgently warned. Faced with such a troublesome opponent, they might have to flee before finding a way to eliminate it.
Looking at the Emperor Zombie, Lin Fan recalled an opponent he had fought before. That one was also like this, impossible to kill no matter how much he was beaten, eventually being burned to death.
A flame appeared in Lin Fan's palm, an extremely conspicuous flame. The Emperor Zombie seemed to sense the threat posed by the fire and showed signs of retreat.
But it was too slow.
Lin Fan pressed the flame onto the Emperor Zombie. The fire instantly erupted, engulfing the zombie completely.
A miserable shriek deafened the ears.
In moments, the once lively Emperor Zombie vanished entirely, not even a single cell remaining.
"What kind of fire was that? How could it be so terrifying?"
Elder was still shaken. Although he hadn't touched the flame directly, he sensed a dreadful danger.
One-Eyed Man was unfazed. The evil Roach Devil had also perished in those flames.
It was all standard procedure.
Nothing to be surprised about.
Sun Xiao felt incredibly fortunate to be able to follow Lin Fan, witnessing scenes he would never have seen in his lifetime.
He had a premonition.
From now on, he would be the top streamer.
People would call him...
Brother Sun!
Brother Xiao!
The name didn't matter, as long as they acknowledged his top position.
At this moment, after the Emperor Zombie was completely incinerated, a mysterious crystal remained where it had burned.
"What's that?" Wu Sheng asked.
Although they didn't know what it was, they could tell it was something valuable.
In the past, Elder would have snatched the crystal in an instant. But now, he had no time, busy purging the corpse poison from his body.
Even without the poison, he wouldn't dare to act rashly.
Didn't they see the big brother was there?
Without Lin Fan's word, no one dared to move.
"Let's go," Lin Fan reminded them, mainly because they were standing there dumbfounded, unsure of what to do.
Although they had encountered these troublesome matters, he hadn't considered leaving. He could see that Little Treasure loved this place. The scenery of the primeval forest was beautiful, and he wanted Little Treasure to see enough, to fulfill his small wish.
"Wait, didn't you see something?" One-Eyed Man called out.
Lin Fan said, "What about that thing?"
One-Eyed Man felt helpless. He felt that in the future, he must always travel with Lin Fan. Otherwise, he might miss treasures, treating them as ordinary items. The thought was terrifying.
The feeling of missing out on a billion was often formed this way.
One-Eyed Man said, "That could very well be a treasure."
"Really?" Lin Fan didn't care about these things. He had no concept of treasures, or rather, he simply didn't pay attention to them.
"Definitely," One-Eyed Man affirmed. It was just like the Roach Devil. After being destroyed, only a crystal remained, and research revealed its extraordinary properties.
However, with their current level of understanding, they hadn't fully grasped its functions.
It would take time.
Sun Xiao said, "Someone in the livestream is offering two hundred million for that thing."
"Tell him to get lost," One-Eyed Man retorted.
"Okay." Sun Xiao nodded. He knew that person would be scolded. Anyone could see that this object was valuable. The zombie had been burned to nothing, leaving only this. So, how could it be ordinary?
With a little bit of common sense, one would know it was definitely extraordinary.
Elder watched as One-Eyed Man carefully stored the item, wanting to speak but hesitating. If he weren't busy expelling the corpse poison, he would definitely pester One-Eyed Man to see if he could get a share.
Seeing how carefully One-Eyed Man put the item away, he knew that even without the poison, he wouldn't be able to pester him successfully.
It wasn't good not having a strong leader. This feeling of dependence was bitter.
He hoped there would be some gains in the end.
As they continued forward, they finally discovered the origin of the zombie. It turned out that there was an imperial tomb in Changbai Mountain, but this tomb was strange.
One-Eyed Man wasn't a professional, but he knew what a proper imperial tomb should look like.
But what lay before them was problematic.
Too crude.
It completely lacked the grandeur an imperial tomb should possess.
"This is the result of tectonic movement, causing the mountains to split open and disturbing the Emperor Zombie slumbering underground," One-Eyed Man muttered to himself.
Sun Xiao held his phone, filming the scene as requested by the viewers in his livestream.
Some of the viewers were archaeologists. Knowing that Sun Xiao's livestream destination was Changbai Mountain, they eagerly joined, wanting to see the situation there.
During the time of the evil creatures' rampage, even if they wanted to conduct archaeological research, they didn't have the opportunity. They could only fantasize based on ancient texts.
Therefore, upon learning about Sun Xiao's livestream, they immediately joined.
When they saw the entrance to the imperial tomb, they engaged in heated discussions, leaving other viewers bewildered.
My goodness.
Was this still their previously cheerful livestream?
Why had it become so sophisticated?
"There's a stone tablet here."
Sun Xiao shouted.
He loved this kind of exploratory environment. He had actually found a stone tablet hidden beneath rubble in a corner. With his strength, moving the rubble was no problem.
His shout attracted everyone's attention.
"These characters are ancient," One-Eyed Man said.
The characters on the stone tablet were different from the ones they currently used, belonging to an ancient script.
Everyone present was illiterate in this ancient script.
One-Eyed Man couldn't understand it.
Lin Fan and Old Zhang naturally didn't need to be mentioned.
Wu Sheng and Elder, both from interstellar clans, couldn't possibly understand it either. However, the archaeology experts in Sun Xiao's livestream kept urging him to focus the camera on the stone tablet, clearly wanting to see what was recorded on it.
Some archaeology experts even gave Sun Xiao donations, the meaning clear: they had paid, so what was he hesitating for?
Even without the donations, Sun Xiao would have focused the camera on the stone tablet.
He increasingly believed that he would definitely become the top streamer.
A guide for all scholars seeking to explore the unknown.
Soon, the archaeology experts filled the chat with comments.
Sun Xiao read the comments and looked up, saying, "Experts in my livestream just said that these characters are from over two thousand years ago. Apparently, this emperor sought immortality. Later, a meteorite fell from the sky, and someone discovered a drop of blood on it. It didn't dry over time and was called the blood of immortals. After the emperor consumed it, he died instantly, and everyone in the imperial palace became dried corpses. It was called an ominous day. Later, they were buried in Changbai Mountain, hoping the gods could suppress this ominousness."
"That's what the inscription on the stone tablet says."
Sun Xiao was surprised. A meteorite stained with blood?
Nonsense.
It was already remarkable for a meteorite to reach the ground, let alone have blood on it.
That was pure fabrication.
One-Eyed Man said, "Could that crystal from earlier be that blood?"
Sun Xiao blinked.
You ask me, who do I ask?
