Chapter 448: The Truth Revealed
What does he really want to do?
Zhang Mu just had a thought in his mind when the scene below the city suddenly changed drastically after Hachikuju had tidied it up neatly.
“Wang Xin, what are you doing?”
“Li Ziang, Qin Shang, are you both crazy?”
Suddenly, cries of distress echoed through the team of evolvers, many of whom were ambushed by their companions.
The ones ambushing them were none other than the Army Breaking Wolf Riders of the Four Battle Cavalry!
The Army Breaking Wolf Riders had all betrayed them!
Now, their eyes were cold as ice, mercilessly harvesting the lives of their former comrades who had fought alongside them just moments ago.
Hachikuju swiftly felled an Army Breaking Wolf Rider warrior who had suddenly charged at them with a gun. He noticed that the situation had descended into chaos due to the betrayal of the Army Breaking Wolf Riders.
Not only were the Army Breaking Wolf Riders attacking, but exceptionally powerful individuals emerged among ordinary evolvers and civilians, unleashing a massacre in the civilian areas. Without the protection of the Four Wolf Riders, ordinary people and first-rank evolvers suffered heavy casualties, and blood flowed like a river.
At that moment, He Shan hurried over to Hachikuju and quickly said, “City Master, the zombie sea that was just suppressed earlier has begun to riot again. It has regained its organization and seems to have increased in strength and agility. Our brothers can’t hold on much longer.”
Hachikuju quickly surveyed the dire situation around them. Even though he couldn’t understand what was happening, there was only one solution now. Otherwise, the remaining three to four hundred thousand people in Ordos City would either become corpses or join the ranks of the zombies.
“Everyone, retreat!”
“Retreat!”
Zhang Mu, with a determined look on his face, stared at the calm Ginseng King in front of him before finally speaking.
“Is this your doing? You’ve been hiding Grave Blood puppets among the Army Breaking Wolf Riders and ordinary people for a long time, only to launch a deadly attack now. And you can also control a sea of zombies, right?”
Looking at Zhang Mu’s expression, the terrifying smile on Ginseng King’s face widened as he slowly replied, “Yes.”
He admitted it so casually.
“You truly are a good dog for Grave Blood, obeying his every command. What happened to your dignity as a third-rank strong? Allowing yourself to be controlled by someone weaker? Willingly? Just because he granted you freedom?
You know how to repay kindness, yet you look down upon humans despite learning from them. How pitiful you are.”
Despite Zhang Mu’s attempts, he couldn’t reach his own body and could only smirk, “A fair trade? You must be joking. With your power, you can do whatever you want. Yet, you choose to be someone else’s lackey, someone’s dog?”
Ginseng King remained emotionless as he gazed at Zhang Mu and said, “Put away your tricks. Trying to stir up trouble between me and that guy? We only have a business relationship, a transaction.”
“A mighty third-rank warrior, living like a stray dog, I, Zhang Mu, look down on you.”
Zhang Mu indeed wanted to sow discord between Ginseng King and Grave Blood. He was puzzled by why the world’s most powerful Ginseng King would be willing to trade with Grave Blood and help him with these tasks.
Ginseng King looked at Zhang Mu with a strange look in his eyes, as if watching a child playing some boring tricks.
“It seems I didn’t tell you that my trade with Grave Blood was not based on equality.”
This sentence was like a deep-sea bomb exploding in Zhang Mu’s heart.
Grave Blood, also a third-rank?
This was something Zhang Mu had never expected. A third-rank Corpsewalker, seriously? Who else could possibly stop him?
But only in this way could the third-rank Ginseng King possibly trade with him on equal terms, because their strength was equal.
If that’s the case, not to mention the entire Ordos City, could the whole Inner Mongolia region still be taken down?
The words of the Ginseng King completely shattered Zhang Mu’s understanding of the world. He realized that some creatures had already reached third-rank at this time period.
Just because humans can’t do it, doesn’t mean other creatures can’t. He just didn’t know about it.
“Zhang Mu, are you willing to join our clan once you’ve figured things out?”
The sudden voice of the Ginseng King interrupted Zhang Mu’s thoughts. He still wanted to recruit him, was it because of the Blood Lotus or something else?
“It’s impossible! To be with you all, neither human nor ghost, void of any emotion. What’s the point of living like that? You’re not much different from Grave Blood’s puppet.”
It’s like the old saying goes, “If you’re not of the same family, you won’t enter the same door.”
Seeing Zhang Mu’s sarcasm, the Ginseng King remained unresponsive but still asked in confusion.
“Humans are destined for failure. Look around, there are less than two hundred thousand humans left. Why argue with me when faced with the inevitable truth? I overestimated you.”
Zhang Mu’s eyes lit up with determination as he spoke loudly.
“Who told you humans will definitely lose? Even if you use tricks like this, Brother Hachikuju and others will definitely organize a strong counterattack. Two hundred thousand people, enough to wipe out your zombie army.”
Ginseng King shook his head, looking at Zhang Mu with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
“I misjudged you, you are just like other humans, arrogant and conceited. Let’s wait and see, the people you trust are now busy with their own problems. I hope you will change your mind by then.”
“Why not join our clan? As long as you kill the human beside you, devour her soul, your human heart will completely disappear, no need to struggle like this in pain.”
“As for her spinal cord and heart, I will take care of them for you, then you will gain even more powerful strength.”
“You’re delusional!”
Zhang Mu unconsciously responded to Ginseng King, but soon realized something was wrong.
He wants Yuan Rui’s spinal cord and heart?
These two things instantly reminded Zhang Mu of Lian San outside Ejin Horo Banner Sub-city, where similar things happened in the other seven sub-cities. Is the mastermind behind this Ginseng King in front of him?
“Did you cause the deaths of those young people?”
The Ginseng King nodded calmly and said, “It is part of my restoration of freedom. The spinal cord and heart of humans are crucial for the birth of vitality. I need to completely separate myself from my original form, and I need a lot of vitality to support this.”
“Ginseng’s nature is yang, and the hearts and spinal cords of humans with pure yang bodies have more vitality. Do you have any questions?”
The whole truth became clear.
“Do you have any questions?”
Zhang Mu, now with a worldly soul dominating his character, suddenly felt anger rising within him. He repeated the Ginseng King’s last sentence, but his teeth were clattering due to his body trembling.
“You slaughtered humans using such methods, and you ask me if I have any questions?”
The Ginseng King chuckled.
“What, aren’t you humans also believers in the law of the jungle? To become a part of my body is their honor.”
You’re no match for me, no one in the whole human race is, so what’s the problem with becoming my prey?
“To me, humans are like ants to you, they are the same.”
Even though Zhang Mu’s connection between his consciousness and body was restrained, his mental power was getting closer to the third-rank threshold, and under strong emotions, he actually caused a ripple in the special space created by the Ginseng King.
“You’re wrong, what I believe in and what I say is not a self-deception to avoid reality, instead, it’s because I understand the greatest strengths of our human race.”
“Oh, the greatest strengths of humans?”
Zhang Mu’s anger had already flared up, and he shouted loudly.
“The greatest strength of humans is that when facing life and death, no one can predict the extent of potential we can unleash!”
“The ants in your eyes aren’t that powerless!”
