Chapter 454: Advancing Together
The Qizilbash earthen wall was smashed, and the hopes of Hachikuju and the others were dashed once again, as they could only watch helplessly as the zombie horde rushed towards them.
Not all people had died yet, my Red Flame Wolf Riders had not all died yet!
Hachikuju’s fighting spirit rose again, his strength seemed endless as he shouted with all his might, “My brothers of Hachikuju, there’s no way out, Red Flame Wolf Rider is not afraid of death, we must not give up!”
“Clear a path!”
The cries of the remaining three thousand people were deafening amidst the thousands of zombie horde, a tragic and heroic acceptance of death.
The outermost cavalry had already made contact with the sea of zombies, the force of the zombie flood was too much for the thin human forces to resist, a breach suddenly opened in the outer battle formation, with a large number of zombies pouring in, scattering Hachikuju’s cavalry.
Hachikuju desperately chopped down the zombies coming towards him, hearing the final roars of the surrounding cavalry and the pitiful neighing of the horses before death, his heart felt like it was being torn apart.
The already peaking rage somehow began to rise even more, although he himself did not realize it.
Zhang Mu, who now saw the scene clearly below, was completely speechless, he didn’t have many friends, but Hachikuju definitely counted as one, the latter regarded him as a brother, willing to defy other wolf rider leaders, almost losing the status of a wolf rider leader, to bring nearly a thousand Red Flame Wolf Riders to the capital to save him.
But now, Hachikuju and the others were deep in the zombie horde, watching as the remaining human elite warriors were about to die in this place, Zhang Mu’s emotions reached their peak, in a place unnoticed by the Ginseng King, there was a slight loosening of Zhang Mu’s restraints, allowing him to send out his consciousness.
The target was none other than Yuan Rui beside him, he needed Yuan Rui’s strength.
Zhang Mu felt hopeful and regained his calm, using his ability to deceive others to the fullest.
“Ginseng King, if I agree to follow you, will you let them go?”
Ginseng King looked at Zhang Mu in surprise, thinking he would stand his ground, but now he was surprised to see Zhang Mu compromising.
After thinking for a while, he shook his head and told Zhang Mu, “You are mistaken. You have no right to negotiate with me. Offering yourself as a trade is a huge mistake.”
“You are now my captive, my property as Ginseng King. What do you have to exchange with me?”
While communicating with Yuan Rui, Zhang Mu calmly asked Ginseng King, “What if I don’t want to become part of your clan?”
“If you refuse, I will forcibly transform you. What I desire is just your physical form. Your second-rank mental strength might be considered powerful among humans, but in my eyes, it’s nothing special.”
With a mischievous look on his young face, Ginseng King added, “Of course, forcibly transforming you would be detrimental to both of us. Your soul would vanish, and I would have to pay a price.”
“The best solution is for you to willingly give up your human heart and become my servant. Isn’t a win-win situation preferable?”
Ginseng King didn’t expect Zhang Mu to agree, and he coldly said, “I let you spare them because I owe Hachikuju a favor.”
Since you infiltrated the Eight War Riders, you must know that Hachikuju was accused by several war leaders for saving me last time by surrounding Hohhot City with the Red Flame Wolf Riders. You are aware of this, right?”
Ginseng King nodded, he knew about this because Hachikuju caused quite a stir.
“I don’t like owing favors to others, or else I’ll have a knot in my heart. So I proposed the exchange earlier, becoming part of your tribe will help me get rid of that knot in my heart, right?”
If you kill Hachikuju in front of me now, my promotion will be greatly hindered in the future. Do you want a servant who can’t keep up with you?”
Zhang Mu calmly explained to Ginseng King. This Ginseng King had just transformed into a human form, so he was being led on by the experienced Zhang Mu.
Half-truths are the most convincing.
“If you’re feeling uneasy, it can really cause trouble when advancing. This does make sense.”
As he finished speaking, Ginseng King’s grey eyes suddenly locked onto Zhang Mu and he smirked mysteriously.
“But you can save them by killing the woman next to you, offering her pure soul, and letting me take out her heart and spine in front of you. Then I will spare those humans.”
Zhang Mu was taken aback that the Ginseng King brought up this matter, leaving him speechless in an instant.
“Only if you extract her soul can we ensure its purity. So, are you going to do it?”
“One person’s life can save over two thousand lives, well, a few dozen less now. Every second you delay is your loss.”
Zhang Mu fell into silence. He had never taken the Ginseng King’s demands seriously. He was struggling to receive mental strength from Yuan Rui without physical contact, making it much harder. To appease the Ginseng King, he pretended to struggle.
Hachikuju felt an overwhelming urge to kill. Riding Red Blood, he swiftly navigated through the vast sea of zombies. His strength easily surpassed the non-mega zombies, but despite slaying hundreds, compared to the thousands in the horde, it was just a drop in the bucket.
A deep sense of powerlessness lingered in Hachikuju’s mind.
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud noise came from afar. Hachikuju, still in the midst of the bloody battle, paused for a moment and looked in the direction of the sound, where the main forces were located.
The big green plant couldn’t handle the weight and fell down with a loud crash, crushing a zombie underneath, unable to get back up.
Hachikuju’s mind was blank now, if it weren’t for the flames of Red Blood still burning, they would have been overwhelmed by the approaching zombies long ago.
With the plant fallen, the main force was in trouble, Gesar might have already died.
A surge of anger swelled within Hachikuju’s heart, all merging into his fury, breaking through a critical point!
Hachikuju was terrifying at this moment, their widened eyes filled with bloodshot veins, unable to accept the reality of Gesar possibly dying, suddenly losing control, growing in size, and the huge axe in their hands undergoing an incredible transformation!
The will of the spirit master of Red Blood under Hachikuju’s seat echoed with a distant roar among the zombies’ howls.
Boom!
The flames on Red Blood instantly grew larger by several times, and this time, they also ignited on Hachikuju’s body!
At that moment, under Hachikuju’s emotional influence, Red Blood finally broke through the hindrance of a peak level.
Promoted to second level!
Hachikuju, who had already turned into a fire person, became even more exaggerated. Suddenly, a phantom of a battle axe hundreds of meters long appeared behind him!
The Ginseng King’s gaze became serious for the first time, and his emotions started to fluctuate greatly.
It is the energy of a third-level!
After Hachikuju’s explosion of anger, he suddenly advanced to the third level!
One person and one horse, advancing at the same time!
