"F**K!!"

Seeing his companion abandon him and flee, the Black Youth yelled in shock and anger.

Then.

Things got even weirder.

The guy actually pulled a handgun from his pants pocket. He wasn't aiming at the zombie, but at the direction his companion had fled, and fired repeatedly.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

He emptied the entire magazine.

Chen Ye was speechless.

What kind of thought process leads someone to waste bullets on their own companion at a time like this?

It was utterly foolish.

Now that the magazine was empty, how was he going to fight the zombie?

Even though bullets were useless against zombies, they could at least slow them down and buy him a sliver of a chance.

But now, he hadn't even hit his abandoned companion, who had already vanished. The Black Youth, due to poisoning, had stiff limbs and couldn't move well, leaving him to wait for death.

At this moment, the zombie had reached the Black Youth. It looked down at its prey, its bloody maw opening wide.

"Shit, shit..."

The Black Youth screamed in terror, scrambling backward.

However, at this point, without a miracle, his fate was sealed...

Chen Ye and Tang Zichen.

They were hiding behind a large tree, watching the entire scene.

Neither of them considered using this opportunity to escape.

Their main objective in coming to this Secret Realm was to hunt zombies, so they couldn't just run away because the zombies looked scary.

In fact.

After Chen Ye took a few more glances at the zombie, he no longer found it that terrifying.

Of course.

His confidence stemmed from the powerful strength within his body.

"&*%¥@"

"¥..."

At this moment, the Black Youth shouted something at the zombie.

Chen Ye didn't understand and quietly asked Tang Zichen, "What did that guy just say?"

Tang Zichen, true to her academic nature, understood English. Hearing his question, she calmly replied, "He said his private life was messy, that he was already infected with HIV and syphilis, and if the Jumping Corpse ate him, it would get infected too."

Chen Ye: "..."

It was clear.

The zombie didn't care about the Black Youth's threat.

"Ah!!"

Accompanied by a scream.

The scene turned incredibly bloody!

The zombie had bitten the Black Youth's neck and was burying its head, drinking blood greedily.

Soon.

The Black Youth's dark complexion turned ashen due to significant blood loss.

His eyes gradually lost their vitality...

Seeing this, Chen Ye glanced at Tang Zichen beside him.

The girl's profile was beautiful, and she remained completely calm, showing no intention of intervening or rescuing. She didn't seem scared at all.

Chen Ye breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He had been worried she might have a savior complex and couldn't bear to watch, deciding to step in.

Now it seemed.

Tang Zichen was far calmer than he had imagined.

As if sensing Chen Ye's gaze, Tang Zichen said without turning her head, "You shouldn't be looking at me. This is the Jumping Corpse's hunting process. You should memorize it so you're better prepared next time."

Hearing this, Chen Ye silently gave the girl a thumbs-up.

So calm!

But he didn't need to be.

The way the zombie bit people was just like in the movies.

First, it would grab the shoulders of its victim with both hands to pin them down, then take a bite.

You had to admit, there was a bug here!

Normally, a zombie's arms were held straight out, seemingly unable to bend, but the moment it grabbed someone, it became incredibly agile…

Not long after.

The Black Youth turned into a corpse.

A mummified corpse!

The zombie had sucked all the blood from his body.

This zombie was probably so starved for blood that it wasn't satisfied after draining a strong young man. After dropping the mummified corpse in its hands, its nose began sniffing the air again.

Soon.

Its pair of blood-red eyes turned towards Chen Ye and Tang Zichen's hiding spot.

It seemed to have discovered them.

Seeing this, Tang Zichen said softly, "Teacher was right, the Jumping Corpse's sense of smell really is keen, it can detect human presence."

Chen Ye didn't correct her statement and asked, "It's found us. Can you handle it?"

"Shouldn't be a problem!"

Tang Zichen sounded very confident.

With those words, she stood up and calmly faced the zombie.

Chen Ye stood to the side, ready to watch the show.

When the zombie saw Tang Zichen appear, it immediately bared its teeth, let out a low growl, and lunged at her.

Tang Zichen didn't hesitate, instantly throwing the two darts in her hands.

At the same time.

A green light emanated from her body.

Telekinesis activated.

"Swish! Swish!"

Under the control of telekinesis, the two darts actually cut through the air. One struck the zombie's forehead, and the other hit its throat.

Incredibly accurate!

It was clear that Tang Zichen's month of rigorous training had paid off.

Her control over the darts had reached a level of mastery.

However.

After taking these two hits, the zombie only let out a howl before continuing to lunge at Tang Zichen.

It seemed they hadn't had much of an effect.

Tang Zichen frowned.

Although Teacher Liu had mentioned that Jumping Corpses were difficult to kill, she hadn't expected them to be so tough.

Back at school, Tang Zichen had tested her telekinetically controlled darts, and they could already pierce 5CM steel plates!

Yet they couldn't pierce the zombie's head.

At this moment, the two darts were still stuck in the zombie's body, and she couldn't retrieve them.

Her first attack had failed.

Anyone with a weaker mindset would probably have started to feel scared and timid.

However, Tang Zichen's pretty face quickly regained its composure.

She took out two more darts from her waist.

She had brought a total of 3 pairs of alloy darts, 6 in total.

And each pair was different.

This time, Tang Zichen took out disc-shaped alloy darts with extremely sharp, serrated edges.

Then, a powerful green light surged from Tang Zichen's body…

After that.

Chen Ye felt like he was watching a perfect exhibition of trick dart throwing!

Two disc-shaped throwing darts, under Tang Zichen's telekinetic control, carved out various incredible flight paths, repeatedly cutting at the zombie's arms and legs.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft..."

The sound of flesh being sliced by blades rang out continuously.

Sister Tang was very smart.

Seeing that she couldn't kill the zombie directly with the darts, she chose to cripple its mobility first.

It had to be said.

Her strategy was very effective.

Not long after.

Under the slicing of the sharp darts, the zombie was finally reduced to a human pig, its limbs and head all severed by Tang Zichen.

Of course, to achieve this, the alloy darts were sharp enough, which also contributed significantly.

Plus, the zombies in the Secret Realm weren't high level, just the most common small zombies...

Soon, the zombie was dismembered, and although not dead, it could no longer move.

And Tang Zichen had stood in place the entire time, not moving a single step.

The zombie couldn't even get close.

The advantage of a mage was displayed to its fullest at this moment.

Very cool!

It's just that when she used telekinesis, green light always emitted from her body, which wasn't very pleasing to the eye...

Her entire body being green gave rise to unpleasant associations.

In any case, Chen Ye wasn't envious at all.

"Chen Ye, burn it to death with fire!"

Tang Zichen said.

Her tone sounded somewhat tired.

It seemed that her mental energy had been considerably depleted in that last wave.

"Wait a moment."

Chen Ye took out some bottles and jars from his own box.

"Let me conduct an experiment first!"
