Chapter 27: Heel Exposed
Ma Xiangping, Li Ji Rice Noodle Roll Shop, Ding Hai skillfully dripped two drops of sesame oil on the rice noodle roll, then picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

During his stay in Ma Xiangping, Ding Hai tried almost all the delicacies in the town, some of which he was satisfied with and some he was not.

After some careful selection, he found that Li Ji Rice Noodle Rolls best suited his taste.

Fujian is hot. Even in late autumn, the sun is still scorching, making people feel at a loss.

Under high temperatures, it is difficult for people to maintain a strong appetite. At this time, a bowl of refreshing and delicious rice rolls will make people feel particularly comfortable.

After eating half a bowl of rice rolls, Ding Hai, who was enjoying the delicious taste, was about to ask the boss for another bowl. However, the news brought by Lin Jiu instantly dampened his appetite.

"Brother Ding, it's bad. The resentful corpses that group of fake corpse-carriers brought out of the city have become a force to be reckoned with."

After hearing the word "become a success", Ding Hai couldn't help but frown.

Lin Jiu is no layman. If it was just an ordinary corpse-prediction, he would never use this word.

Could it be that some external force intervened and coincidentally allowed the zombie transformed from the resentful corpse to gain the upper hand?
After hurriedly pouring the remaining half bowl of rice rolls into his stomach, Ding Hai put the money on the table and pulled Lin Jiu away from Li’s Rice Roll Shop.

Some things should not be discussed in public as they may easily cause panic among the people.

Back in the guest room of Yong'an Inn, Ding Hai gestured to Lin Jiu to explain in detail.

After randomly pulling out a chair and sitting down, Lin Jiu told Ding Hai the news he had heard.

"This morning, the city defense team captured the two leaders of the fake corpse-driving gang at the city gate, one fat and one thin.

They said that there was a strange monster in the mountains near Ma Xiangping that could suck people dry. This monster was invulnerable to swords and guns, and was immune to water and fire. It had a coat of black hair and even a Mauser pistol could not penetrate it.

Last night, when the two of them were passing through the dense forest outside the city after sending a client home, they encountered this strange monster guarding the side of the mountain road and killing people.

In order to rescue those passers-by, the two brothers joined forces with those passers-by and fought a battle with the monster.

But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't hurt the monster at all. In the end, the passers-by were killed and sucked dry by the monster. Only the two brothers managed to escape."

"Who are these passers-by coming so late at night? It seems that these two and their accomplices could not escape their destined death." Ding Hai, who knew the platoon leader's background and those of his gang, realized that the platoon leader was lying after just hearing a few words.

These two people were probably afraid that the soldiers guarding the city would kill them after knowing their true identities.

So they pretended not to know their accomplices and made them look like passers-by.

"If what they said is true, then the resentful corpse is already quite serious." Ding Hai stroked his smooth chin, thinking about what to do next.

Zombies can be divided into nine levels according to their strength: wandering zombies, jumping zombies, white zombies, black zombies, green zombies, flying zombies, incorruptible bones, drought demons and roars.

Among them, the last three levels of zombies have not appeared for hundreds of years, and flying zombies are rarely heard of.

According to the two platoon leaders' description, the zombie that killed their accomplices showed signs of turning into a black zombie.

The black hair transformed from the evil spirit of the earth covers its body. The black hair does not fall off, and the zombie's body is difficult to be injured. Therefore, it is invulnerable to swords and guns, and is immune to water and fire.

Zombies of this level are no longer something that ordinary people can deal with.

Unless large-caliber weapons are used, artillery arrays can be set up to bombard several bases continuously.

Otherwise, even a great martial artist like Huo Yuanjia, who was only one step away from becoming a master, would most likely die if he encountered a zombie of this level.

Even among the warlocks who are proficient in Taoism, not all of them are qualified to compete with zombies of this level.

Among the current disciples of Maoshan, there are less than ten who can kill zombies of this level.

If you are not well prepared, you may die at the hands of zombies of this level.

Of course, this definitely does not include Ding Hai and Shi Jian.

They are proficient in thunder magic and are the nemesis of demons and monsters.

Demons and monsters that don't know thunder magic automatically become shorter than them when they meet them.

Lin Jiu was far inferior to the two of them in this aspect. If he didn't make sufficient preparations, a black zombie would definitely not be able to do anything to Lin Jiu who had already successfully established his foundation. However, it was not so easy for Lin Jiu to win easily.

Even after making sufficient preparations, it would be difficult for him to kill the black zombies without taking any damage like Ding Hai and Shi Jian.

"Brother Ding, we can't and cannot manage all the affairs of the world. You said that we'd better clear the snow in front of our own door before worrying about the frost on other people's roofs. I listen to you.

But now there are zombies harming people, you don't want me to endure it, do you?" Lin Jiu stared at Ding Hai, hoping that Ding Hai would not let him down.

After spending the past few days getting to know Ding Hai and having a general idea of ​​what kind of person he is, Lin Jiu has already begun to accept Ding Hai as his senior brother who is one year younger than him.

But if Ding Hai dared to persuade him again today not to care about the black zombies harming people and just focus on the sect's mission.

Then Lin Jiu would do anything to turn against such a selfish person.

"You are not a Ninja Turtle, so you have to make your own judgment on what you can and cannot interfere with.

We are all adults, why should I stop you from doing what you want to do." After realizing that the corpse had lost control and turned into a black zombie, Ding Hai would have taken action even if Lin Jiu hadn't mentioned it.

If a black zombie is left unattended, its harm is worse than a small plague. Although Ding Hai doesn't like to meddle in other people's affairs, he can't bear to see thousands of people die because of the zombie disaster.

"I misunderstood you, brother." Lin Jiu felt relieved upon hearing this. However, he was a little confused as to which Ninja Turtles Ding Kai was referring to. Were they from Japan?
"Senior Brother Ding, do you have a way to find the black zombie quickly?" Lin Jiu asked.

Although he had some skills, this was his first time dealing with a strange monster like the black zombie. Although he had some ideas in his mind, he didn't dare to speak them out easily.

Ding Hai is different. Although he has never killed a black zombie, when he destroyed the Haihe corpse breeding ground in the past, he used the Five Thunders to Slay Evil Talisman to kill many Yin zombies that were no less powerful than black zombies.

So, after hearing Lin Jiu's question, he applied his previous experience without thinking.

“Although the black zombie is important, it is midday now and all evil spirits are retreating. It must have hidden in a dark place, so it will take a lot of time to find it.

The most urgent task is to burn the fake zombies killed by the black zombie last night to prevent them from coming back to life and causing trouble to the village, thus expanding the scale of the zombie disaster.

As for the black zombie, after burning those fake zombies, we patrolled the dense forest outside the city for a few times.

At that time, I will mobilize my energy and blood, and use a bait to lure the zombie. As long as it shows up, I will kill it like slaughtering a dog."

After listening to Ding Hai's plan, Lin Jiu couldn't help but nodded. This plan seemed ordinary, but it was very practical and took all aspects into consideration.

Ding Hai is indeed not a vegetarian!
After having a clear idea in his mind, Lin Jiu immediately got ready.

The talismans, magic swords, battle flags, these items that I carried with me when I headed south were all in the bag and I had to just carry the bag on my back.

But the introduction to the method was lacking, so he stepped out.
After a while, he came into the house carrying an old rooster with a red comb.

With a twist of both hands, the chicken head is separated from the chicken body.

The bright red chicken blood quickly flowed into the bamboo tube prepared by Lin Jiu. When the chicken blood had dripped away, he took out the anti-coagulation talisman from his bag, activated his magic power to ignite it, and then threw it into the bamboo tube.

After stuffing the bamboo tube and carrying the bag, Lin Jiu turned his head to look at Ding Hai who was unprepared beside him. His lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to ask Ding Hai why he didn't make some preparations.

But thinking of the thunderous battle three years ago that made him question his life, he didn't say a word after all.

Although the black zombie is strong, if it had been placed on Arena No. 3 three years ago, it is questionable how long it could have survived.

Now, three years have passed, and Ding Hai's strength has become more unfathomable.

He said that killing a black zombie was like butchering a dog, which seemed to be quite modest.

"Are you ready? Let's go!" Seeing that Lin Jiu was ready, Ding Hai took the lead and walked out of the house.

Fighting a monster like a black zombie would have been easy three years ago with just a pair of hands, let alone now.

In this way, the two brothers left Yong'an Inn one after another.

In the northwest corner of the backyard, the proprietress and the old manager had been keeping a close eye on Ding Hai and his friend since they moved in. When they saw them leave the inn without looking back, they immediately smiled.

"I finally figured out the details of these two dragons. It turns out they are sorcerers. No wonder all my previous tricks failed in front of them."

Although the proprietress is also proficient in supernatural arts, she is not good at the art of perception.

Therefore, although she instinctively felt that Ding Hai and the other man were difficult to deal with, she was still unable to figure out their background and strength.

Now, Ding Hai and his companion took the initiative to attack and planned to take down the black zombie outside Ma Xiangping, which immediately made the proprietress see a lot of clues.

Putting herself in other people's shoes, the proprietress felt that Ding Hai and his companions at least had the ability to escape from the black zombies, otherwise how would they dare to hunt the black zombies.

After leaving the inn, Lin Jiu took out a talisman and used it to clamp a strand of hair.

He waved his hands and skillfully combined the two together to form a thousand paper cranes.

This technique is no other than the paper crane search technique that Ding Hai used when he went south.

"Junior brother, where did you pull this hair from?" Ding Hai, who is also proficient in the art of finding people using paper cranes, asked with a frown.

The paper crane search technique requires an object with the scent of the person being searched as a trigger to ensure that the target is found.

You cannot accurately find the person you are looking for by plucking a hair at random.

"When I heard the news earlier, I went to the city defense team and used some tricks to pull a hair off the fat man's head."

After hearing that the hair used was not from an unrelated person, Ding Hai nodded without saying anything. It was enough for Lin Jiu to know about it.

After folding the paper crane, Lin Jiu dipped a little red blood from the bamboo tube filled with chicken blood and painted eyes on the paper crane.

The laws of heaven are pure, the laws of earth are spiritual;
Yin and Yang combine to form essence, and the crane appears;
I obey the command of the Three Mao True Lords;
I have traveled thousands of miles to find this person. Go quickly, it’s urgent!
The spell that Lin Jiu recited when casting the spell was slightly different from that of Ding Hai, and its effect was also different from the paper crane searching technique that Ding Hai cast.

Following Lin Jiu's low shout, the paper crane in his palm began to dance, and the crane's head nodded repeatedly in one direction, and then there was no other movement.

Ding Hai didn't find this strange.

The paper crane searching technique he performed was modified by him personally. If it was exactly the same as the one Lin Jiu performed, it would be really weird.
