Something Was Watching

If it weren't for Lin Yunji, such a powerful expert, letting him kill these zombies himself...

Let alone forty-odd, even if it were just one, such a large group of them would not only be unable to kill them, but would likely be wiped out.

Lin Yunji is amazing! Right now, Lin Yunji's basically carrying them!

After becoming Universe Level, Third Stage, the Saint Venerable Daweide clearly felt that Universe Level, Third Stage was much stronger than Universe Level, Second Stage.

The Saint Venerable Daweide then gave the Glazed Stone Bead and the Green Jade Ghost Hand to the Emperor Venerable Wuxuan.

Lin Yunji led them to continue searching for other lone zombies.

As before, he first nearly killed the zombies before throwing them to Emperor Venerable Wuxuan, allowing him to deliver the final blow.

So, Lin Yunji spent over a month killing zombies in the swamp.

Lin Yunji and his group almost completely wiped out the zombies roaming the swamp.

During the day, they killed any lone zombies, and when night fell, they would leave the swamp and spend the night in the dry land.

"Something's not right!" Immortal Venerable Hongluo was the first to sense something was amiss.

"Do you remember what the old chieftain told us before? He said the zombies in the swamp were likely transformed from his own people who came here in search of a solution to the epidemic."

"That's right." Emperor Venerable Wuxuan and the others all nodded in agreement.

"But do you remember, the old clan chief said his grandfather..."

"Back in my grandfather's generation, there were only about three hundred people here! But we've been here for a month and have killed definitely more than three hundred zombies," said Immortal Venerable Hongluo.

That's right!!

All the venerable ones were startled.

"231." Lin Yunji suddenly reported the number, "I've been paying attention to this since we got here. We've killed a total of 231 zombies. I think almost everyone who lived in Big Stone Town before is dead here." Lin Yunji said.

"If what the old clan chief said is true, his grandfather led many people to relocate here when the epidemic had already broken out. This means that at that time, the number of people infected in Big Stone Town was not just one or two."

Besides those infected with the disease, there are also some children and the elderly. It seems that the entire population of Big Stone Town has been mobilized.

"That's terrifying! What on earth are they doing here?!" Supreme Hongdu couldn't help but ask.

"Whatever they did has nothing to do with us," Emperor Venerable Wuxuan reassured them.

"We've basically killed all the zombies here in a month. Those who died here must have found peace and release."

"That's not how it is." Lin Yunji suddenly shook his head at this moment. "There's probably something else in this swamp!" Lin Yunji said.

"Why do you say that?" the Saint Venerable Daweide asked Lin Yunji, puzzled.

"A sixth sense," Lin Yunji said. "But even though it's a sixth sense, I'm certain there's something here. Occasionally, I even feel like something's spying on us! But every time I try to sense it carefully, I can't feel anything at all."

"This sixth sense has been with us since we arrived here ten days ago!"

As soon as Lin Yunji finished speaking, the other Supreme immediately felt a chill run down their spines.

"Probably not." Supreme Huorong managed a forced smile.

"Perhaps it's just my imagination. We've thoroughly searched the entire swamp. If there were anything there, it should have shown up by now," said Supreme Hongdu.

But at this moment, Lin Yunji seemed to suddenly remember something, and punched his own leg.

"I've got it."

"What did you think of!" The Saint Venerable Daweide and the others immediately asked, looking at Lin Yunji with suspicion.

"I've figured out why I can never find those eyes that are spying on us!" Lin Yunji said in a deep voice.

"Why?" Immortal Venerable Hongluo asked anxiously.

"In the evening," Lin Yunji said with a very solemn expression.

"We always leave the swamp at dusk to find the nearest dry land to spend the night! So we guess that thing can only come out at night!"

"That's probably why, even in broad daylight, I always feel like something is watching us, but I can't find anything slacking off! It doesn't come out to attack us, probably because of that too."

After Lin Yunji finished speaking, all the venerable ones were greatly surprised!

"What you say makes perfect sense!" Saint Venerable Daweide exclaimed in surprise.

"I also feel that what you said is right!" said Immortal Venerable Hongluo.

"So what should we do now?" Emperor Venerable Wuxuan couldn't help but ask Lin Yunji.

"If our guess is correct, that thing is probably much harder to deal with than those zombies. Especially at night, our visibility will be affected. If it's a Specter- like creature, and physical attacks are ineffective against it, it will likely be even more difficult to deal with," Supreme Hongdu analyzed.

"Brother Hongdu is right." Lin Yunji nodded in agreement. "We must not underestimate our enemy, nor can we be careless. We need to think about how to deal with things like Specter."

After Lin Yunji finished speaking, all the other Venerables nodded.

"Why don't we go back and ask the old patriarch? Maybe they have a way to deal with the Specter," suggested Immortal Venerable Hongluo.

Everyone agreed to the suggestion of the Immortal Venerable Hongluo, so all the Venerables returned to Primordial Expanse Town.

In the month or so that Lin Yunji were away from Primordial Expanse Town, the Primordial Expanse Town had expanded considerably and now truly had the grandeur of a town.

After returning to Primordial Expanse Town, Lin Yunji immediately searched for the old clan leader.

But the old clan chief was unaware of these matters. "I'm sorry, I don't know much about my grandfather's generation. I only remember that my father died in the plague. As for my grandfather, he led a group out and came back to cure the plague."

"But he was also severely injured, and he died not long after. I was 11 years old when I became the clan chief."

After hearing the old patriarch's words, Lin Yunji and the others immediately felt awkward and didn't know what to say for a moment.

That's truly a tragic situation!

However, since they couldn't find a way to deal with Youjing from the old patriarch, Lin Yunji others had to think of other methods.
