Chapter 511
by post_apiChapter 511: The Three Emperors Gather
Tree Man is very tall, and as a leader Zhang Mu can see the surroundings clearly from his shoulder.
The ground was filled with low-level zombies whose heads had been smashed, giving off a sense of desolation and heroism.
Even the peak third-rankers, when faced with a sea of zombies in huge numbers, could only end up exhausted.
The bodies of the peak third-rank human warriors should have been taken away and turned into part of the zombie horde.
Luckily, the humans at the third-highest level were transformed into zombies, merely mindless minions without their own intelligence.
The defeated humans huddled together, while the zombie clan never had a habit of restraining their remains. So, when they encountered a large abandoned zombie sea, the formidable Tree Man clan had to use their strength to clear the obstacles and create a path through the mountain of bodies.
Two sharp gazes clashed from the shoulders of two Tree Men beside him, but Zhang Mu pretended not to notice.
One was Luo Wanxun, at the early stages of the fourth-highest level, she had only entered the Era Battlefield a few days ago, yet she was taken in as the personal chief guard by Queen Vaidehi. This time, she was sent to be Zhang Mu’s supervisor, holding many secrets within her.
Zhang Mu actually wanted to ask Luo Wanxun what was going on, but with many people around, he never found the right opportunity.
The other one was Qing Ling, a peak third-highest level, just one step away from the fourth-highest level, the vine clan’s little princess, highly favored by Queen Vaidehi.
Zhang Mu had experienced Qing Ling’s willfulness, but surprisingly, Luo Wanxun seemed to have grown a lot compared to a month ago. Without expressing doubt about Zhang Mu’s identity in front of everyone, he had already noticed a significant difference.
Within half a month, advancing from the peak of the third-highest level directly to the early stages of the fourth-highest level was very strange.
For some reason, these two individuals felt like a clash of needles against wheat, one feeling puzzled by Queen Vaidehi’s trust in strangers, and the other feeling like the other’s princess attitude was too heavy, reluctant to spoil her.
Zhang Mu was feeling stuck in the middle and decided to rest since he didn’t want to upset either of them.
Suddenly, some green figures leaped back from afar, they were the vine tribe scouts sent out by Zhang Mu earlier.
After listening to several people’s reports, Zhang Mu roughly made a judgement in his heart.
The number of Beast Tide and zombie seas surrounding the human race now is about the same as the intelligence reported.
Beast Tide is okay, only mutated beasts above the third-rank peak qualify to enter, but the zombie tribe unexpectedly brought all the power they could control and surrounded the human race’s barrier completely.
The intelligence brought back by the vine tribe scouts showed that the zombie sea has been continuously draining the power of the human race’s barrier from all directions like moths attracted to a flame, while the true core of the zombie tribe and Beastman have not even made a move!
Indeed, using cannon fodder is a usual tactic of the zombie tribe.
Queen Vaidehi may have thought she could use the human race’s barrier to weaken the power of the other two tribes as chances of the plant tribe and other tribes going to war are rare, but to her surprise, the other side didn’t care about the ordinary zombies at all.
Only those who have fully awakened their wisdom will be recognized as members of the zombie tribe.
As for the regular second-rank zombies, they are just like toys in their hands, merely a move.
Queen Vaidehi only gave Zhang Mu half of the military power, and if Zhang Mu makes a mistake in his decisions, the generals below have the right to go against Zhang Mu’s will. It is only when they receive orders from the Queen’s appointed supervisor Luo Wanxun that they pledge their loyalty.
Although he is supposed to be in charge, he is not actually given absolute power. Maybe they just want to see what they can find out from him.
Perhaps the zombies have also noticed by now.
Zhang Mu looked at the pile of corpses next to him, a faintly discernible smirk in his eyes.
“Not all in this heap of corpses are actually dead bodies.”
More than one figure, though looking like corpses, were subtly moving their eyes, conveying what they saw directly to their ruler.
Outside the human race’s barrier, a young man with a delicate appearance watched the unfolding scene in silence. He is the only Corpse Emperor of the zombie race.
In that scene, every move of Zhang Mu’s army could be seen clearly, completely exposed!
Across from him sat two Demon Emperors besides Wang Liang’s widow, Demoness Moon Queen. They were enjoying watching the vast army of plants led by Zhang Mu, not seeming to care much as they ate.
Unlike the human race, there are many powerful fourth-rank beings among the zombie clan and Beastman. However, only three Demon Emperors rule the Beastman, while the zombie clan is even more cruel, with only one being able to control the entire clan, and all the zombie kings under his command obeying him alone.
“It seems that woman Vaidehi hasn’t arrived.”
A Demon Emperor with a head sporting a long, bluish-black horn glanced at the mirror and spoke.
The young man with a delicate appearance had icy eyes and glanced at the Demon Emperor, saying, “Even if Vaidehi comes, are you afraid?”
The Demon Emperor answered without hesitation, “Yes, I can’t defeat that woman. If we encounter Corpse Emperor in the future, I’ll leave it to you. I have my eyes on the tender meat of that fourth-rank boy leading the troops. He’s mine.”
A horned Demon Emperor chewed on food, eyeing Zhang Mu in the mirror and mumbling unclearly.
Hearing the words of this Demon Emperor, Corpse Emperor smiled coldly.
The two of them together can only hold their own against him. It takes Demoness Moon Queen as well to keep him in check.
If it was just the Azure Dragon Emperor alone, he would be defeated after fighting for a few hundred moves.
Useless!
Even though the Corpse Emperor is temporarily cooperating with them, they are just pretending to get along.
What the Azure Dragon Emperor speaks of is like a processed human thigh, sprinkled with fine spices.
“White Tiger, I’m not interested in tasting it, it’s cooked by human chefs. I didn’t expect them to cook their own kind quite skillfully.”
The other party waved to decline, smiling and saying, “Azure Dragon, you enjoy it yourself, I’ve been eating vegetarian lately.”
The Azure Dragon Emperor seemed to have known this answer early on, and didn’t seem to mind.
“It’s up to you, it’s the first time I’ve heard a lion saying they’re vegetarian, you are quite unique in your group.”
Just as the White Tiger Emperor was about to say something, the Azure Dragon Emperor immediately silenced him.
“Don’t talk to me about karma, it’s a cycle – people eat people, animals eat animals, nothing wrong with that. You keep mentioning it, sometimes I really wonder if you’re a spy for the human race.”
“You don’t eat meat, you’re a vegetarian. Looks like the plant folks are looking for you.”
The White Tiger Emperor smiled without saying a word, lifted his head slightly to reveal his face hidden in his long flowing hair, his gaze calm and profound.
If Zhang Mu were here, he would definitely recognize who he is.
This voice, this gaze, cannot be mistaken.
He is the White Tiger Emperor who took Zhang Mu Blood Lotus’s original crystal years ago!
