66: Chapter 66 Subduing the Thousand-Year-Old Female Zombie, Chu Chen Arrives!

The corpse control pill was blood-red throughout, its surface covered in strange incantation patterns. It emitted a very bloody scent that would make a normal person feel nauseous, but for those who weren't normal...

Chu Xiao nervously retreated to the side of that mysterious sapling, his eyes fixed unblinkingly on the ancient bronze coffin. His X-ray Vision allowed him to clearly see the situation inside.

The surroundings fell silent.

Inside the ancient bronze coffin, the stunning female zombie slowly opened her eyes. She looked at the corpse control pill that had rolled to her feet, her emerald-green eyes flashing with a hint of confusion and caution.

After a moment.

She did not eat it.

It seemed this female zombie's intelligence was not low; she could actually restrain her instinctive appetite!

Chu Xiao frowned slightly and asked inwardly, "System, is your Medicinal Pill not tempting enough for her? Why does she show no interest at all?"

[Ding!]

[Theoretically, the corpse control pill has a fatal attraction for any zombie or undead, but there is one exception!]

"What exception?"

Chu Xiao asked hurriedly.

[Ding!]

[When the target has developed high intelligence, there is a small probability they will become cautious and thus refuse to consume it!]

The System's voice faded.

Chu Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The female zombie inside the ancient bronze coffin was so beautiful and dressed so exquisitely; she was clearly different from those mindless zombies in movies and TV shows!

What should he do!

She wouldn't eat it!

Could he only force it into her mouth?

Chu Xiao's mind raced, but he couldn't come up with a solution. The red-robed female zombie was truly too clever; she actually pinched the corpse control pill and tossed it back out through a gap in the coffin.

Seeing the corpse control pill fall to the ground, Chu Xiao fell into a brief silence.

Being a picky eater isn't good!

Just then.

From the side, Jin Long spoke with a smile, "Master, let me help you!"

Saying that, he took another corpse control pill from Chu Xiao's hand and walked to the front of the ancient bronze coffin. He then struck out with his palm, and the lid of the ancient bronze coffin instantly shattered, crushed by a terrifying force.

Chu Xiao was dumbfounded...

The stunning female zombie inside the ancient bronze coffin was also dumbfounded...

Freedom was within reach, but she didn't dare move an inch. Her intuition told her that the extraordinarily handsome man in the golden robe before her was very strong—so strong it took her breath away.

The stunning female zombie didn't dare move, standing at attention inside the coffin out of fear. Her emerald eyes were filled with dread and terror, making her look quite pitiful.

"Eat it! Or else! Die!"

Jin Long's voice was devoid of emotion and filled with pressure, possessing the overbearing aura of a monarch looking down upon the world.

The stunning female zombie swallowed hard and quickly pinched the corpse control pill, gulping it down without a shred of hesitation.

Her IQ was truly high!

If it were an ordinary zombie, it would have surely roared and gone on a rampage after the coffin was destroyed and the Seal broken.

But she didn't!

She obediently ate the corpse control pill!

"Hmph! Consider yourself lucky!" Jin Long snorted coldly. He turned and tilted his chin toward the stunned Chu Xiao, saying respectfully, "Master! It's done! You can train her yourself now!"

Train?

Train my foot!

Seriously, you're just an artifact spirit; is it necessary to be this badass?

Doesn't this make me, the master, look like a total weakling!

Chu Xiao's mouth twitched. He walked to the ancient bronze coffin, looked at the stunning female zombie inside, and asked while rubbing his chin, "Do you know what you just ate?"

The stunning female zombie shook her head, opening her mouth to let out a raspy voice: "Don't... know..."

Her voice... was like a castrated duck.

Dry, hoarse, and unpleasant!

She had a stunning face and a perfect figure, but unfortunately, her voice was so grating!

This made Chu Xiao feel slightly disappointed. He didn't know that this stunning female zombie hadn't spoken for thousands of years, and her vocal cords had long since decayed.

"The Medicinal Pill I just gave you is called a corpse control pill! Eating it will be of great benefit to you! Of course, from now on, you are my zombie! You must be obedient, and I won't treat you poorly!"

Chu Xiao spoke slowly.

To the side, Jin Long couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking to himself, "Master, oh Master, why bother? Is it really necessary to treat a mere little zombie so seriously?"

If she's obedient, just keep her as a servant.

If she isn't, just kill her!

[Ding!]

[Congratulations to the host for subduing the thousand-year-old female zombie. Reward: 8,888 pleasure points!]

[Current pleasure points balance: 14,888.88]

The System's voice faded.

Chu Xiao felt a secret surge of joy. He hadn't guessed wrong; subduing the female zombie would also grant him pleasure points.

His gaze fell upon those stones again. To be precise, his gaze landed on the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Essences sealed within the stones.

With so many Heaven and Earth Spiritual Essences, he wondered how many pleasure points he would get if he made them all acknowledge him as their master.

Thinking of this.

Chu Xiao couldn't help but frown and said in a deep voice, "I can't wait any longer! Regardless of whether Chu Chen comes here or not, I must personally go to the Taklamakan Desert tomorrow to find the old man!"

The optimal time to perform the Sacrificial Resurrection Technique is within three days!

Calculating the time.

Today is already the second day!

If he didn't go find the old man now, it would be too late!

...

Time passed bit by bit.

Soon, it was late at night, just as dawn was about to break.

Outside Yuhuwan Villa.

A man in a black windbreaker stood before the gate. Beside him stood a Woman in Red Dress. They looked somewhat disheveled, their clothes torn.

There were traces of blood on the Woman in Red Dress's left shoulder.

Clearly, they had just been through a major battle!

"Is this the place where The Immortal is sealed? It doesn't look like anything special!"

The Woman in Red Dress spoke indifferently. Her lips were somewhat pale, and her complexion didn't look good.

The man in the black windbreaker nodded slowly, coughed, and said, "Indeed, this is the spiritual node that the Chu family has guarded for generations! If I'm not mistaken, The Immortal and the Immortality Technique are in the basement of the backyard!"

The Woman in Red Dress's beautiful eyes flickered as she hurriedly said, "Then what are we waiting for! Let's get the things and leave quickly! If that person catches up, we're all dead!"

"Yeah!" The man in the black windbreaker leaped several meters high, slipping into the villa in the blink of an eye and heading straight for the backyard. However, he soon noticed something was wrong.

The main gate was only about a hundred meters from the backyard. At his speed, one minute should have been enough to get there!

Yet, he had been running for four or five minutes!

He still hadn't reached that small building in the backyard!

The man in the black windbreaker stopped and looked around, his brow furrowed as he said, "It seems Master kept a few tricks up his sleeve! He actually set up a Formation in this yard!"

"Leave it to me!" The Woman in Red Dress immediately took a compass from the backpack behind her, bit her fingertip, and squeezed out a drop of crimson blood onto it.

The compass needle began to spin wildly...
