Bu Shenghan plotted against Mingyue, leading her to be surrounded by zombies. Just as she was about to attack, intending to lead her father, He Si, out, she saw the zombies directly in front of them fall, row by row.
"Sister, I'm here to help you."
Ba Jiu's voice rang out. It turned out that Ji Shiyou and the others, seeing Mingyue had been gone for a long time, had come to check on her.
Upon seeing Mingyue trapped, Ba Jiu immediately activated his mental powers, controlling the zombies directly facing him and then making them self-destruct.
Stepping on the corpses of dead zombies, Ba Jiu arrived beside Mingyue, not paying the slightest attention to the other zombies.
"Ba Jiu, where are the others?"
Seeing Ba Jiu appear, Mingyue felt relieved. She hadn't been afraid when surrounded by zombies.
What worried her was not being able to protect He Si. Now that Ba Jiu was here, she felt at ease.
Hearing Mingyue ask him, Ba Jiu didn't speak, but merely pointed to the sky.
"Mingyue, we're here!"
Mingyue looked up and saw the transforming vehicle, which had switched to flight mode.
The driver's seat was no longer occupied by Gong Que, but by Shi Henian.
And Ji Shiyou, with half his body already out of the car window, was waving at her.
"Take my father away first."
Seeing the transforming vehicle, Mingyue felt even more confident. Taking advantage of Ba Jiu's presence, with all the zombies afraid to approach, she wanted He Si to leave first.
Ji Shiyou's body then retracted into the car, replaced by Tian Shang.
With a reach of her hand, a thick vine appeared in her grasp.
It instantly reached He Si's side, directly wrapping around his waist and lifting him up.
As the vine retracted, He Si was lifted into the air. Since he was an ordinary person, Tian Shang deliberately slowed down the retraction speed, fearing she might startle He Si.
But just as He Si was a few meters away from the transforming vehicle, the zombies, who had been subdued by Ba Jiu, rioted.
They charged madly towards Mingyue and Ba Jiu, completely disregarding Ba Jiu, the Zombie King.
"Sister, your father is in danger. Someone at a level not weaker than mine has appeared."
Ba Jiu's expression was solemn. He already knew why the zombies were acting this way.
They were attacking him, disregarding the suppression of their ranks, because a powerful opponent had appeared and was driving them to attack.
Without Ba Jiu's reminder, Mingyue had already sensed it, and she knew.
Although she couldn't see him, the person was constantly moving, approaching the transforming vehicle in the air.
"Leave this place to me. I'll go protect them."
After instructing Ba Jiu, a whirlwind appeared beneath Mingyue's feet, lifting her body and sending her high into the sky.
However, as soon as she ascended and before she could reach He Si, a wind blade appeared out of nowhere.
It instantly severed Tian Shang's vine, and He Si's body, along with the severed vine, fell from the sky.
Everything happened so suddenly that Mingyue watched helplessly as her father fell from beside her.
He Si was already terrified. He was just an ordinary person, having never experienced anything like this. He could only close his eyes and wait for death.
Suddenly, he felt his body no longer falling but rising. He Si thought he was hallucinating.
In reality, Mingyue had unleashed a wind vortex, lifting his body and sending him directly next to the transforming vehicle.
Ji Shiyou, guarding the car door, pulled him into the vehicle. Even after sitting down, He Si was still shaken.
He didn't know what he had just experienced. He had clearly fallen from a great height, so why was he suddenly in the car?
"Shi Henian, be careful! Defend!"
As soon as she sent He Si into the car, Mingyue yelled at Shi Henian, because she sensed an energy fluctuation approaching the transforming vehicle.
Although Shi Henian saw nothing, he trusted Mingyue and pressed the defense button without hesitation.
The energy shield instantly activated, enveloping the entire vehicle. The moment the energy shield appeared, thousands of wind blades materialized and struck it.
If Mingyue hadn't detected it in advance, the transforming vehicle would have been destroyed, and its occupants killed.
These wind blades were the same as the ones that had severed the vine on He Si, all level eight.
And compared to the single one earlier, this time there were thousands.
With so many level eight wind blades striking the transforming vehicle, even with the protection of the energy shield, the vehicle was sent flying hundreds of meters.
"You all leave here. I'll handle this."
The ability to unleash thousands of level eight wind blades meant that the hidden individual must be above level eight, otherwise, Ba Jiu wouldn't be so wary.
Except for Ba Jiu, the team members were all level six. Staying here was too dangerous.
And Ba Jiu was on the ground, dealing with the zombies. So, for the safety of her team members, Mingyue ordered them to leave with He Si.
Shi Henian, piloting the transforming vehicle, feigned a turn in the air and then quickly departed from the valley's airspace.
Meanwhile, Mingyue, riding the whirlwind, stood in mid-air and performed a series of intricate hand gestures.
Threads of spiritual energy emanated from Mingyue's fingertips, weaving together like a large net, enveloping the entire airspace above the valley.
"Heavenly Net, appear!"
The enemy was clearly capable of invisibility and was very powerful. If it were any other ability user, they might be helpless, but this one was unlucky to encounter Mingyue.
Mingyue practiced witchcraft. Just like this Heavenly Net, it combined the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, converging into a net.
Even the most powerful invisibility technique would be revealed when encountering the witchcraft of the Heavenly Net.
"Still trying to escape?"
Under the Heavenly Net, Mingyue finally got a clear look at the enemy's appearance.
"Can zombies also mutate?"
Looking at the zombie before her, Mingyue mused. Taking Ba Jiu as an example, the higher the zombie's level, the closer it became to a human.
But the one before her, although it felt like a high level, comparable to Ba Jiu,
looked no different from an ordinary zombie in appearance. The only difference was a pair of bone wings on its back.
They spread over five meters long, allowing it to soar freely in the air, and it could turn invisible.
It seemed to be a mutated Zombie King with invisibility and wind attributes.
Therefore, it could summon and control low-level zombies. After Ba Jiu had subdued those zombies, it made them go mad again and attack Mingyue and Ba Jiu.
This mutated Zombie King, exposed by the Heavenly Net, thrashed about inside, circling and roaring.
Seeing it unleash wind blades against the Heavenly Net, Mingyue's lips curved into a cold smile.
She had promised the original owner of this body that she would protect He Si. Just now, if it weren't for her quick reflexes, He Si would have been killed by this guy.
Furthermore, it had attacked Mingyue's team members. If she hadn't discovered it early, the vehicle would have been destroyed and its occupants killed.
Therefore, even if the opponent was a mutated Zombie King, she would kill it without hesitation. Otherwise, should she keep it for the New Year?
She clapped her hands together, and lightning flashed and purple electricity flickered across the Heavenly Net.
Mingyue infused the net with electrical power, intending to strike down this mutated Zombie King.
The electrical power clearly deterred the Zombie King. It flashed its bone wings and appeared in the center of the Heavenly Net, no longer near the edges.
But how could Mingyue give up? She controlled the Heavenly Net with her mental power, continuously shrinking it. In a short while, it was close to the Zombie King.
It retracted its bone wings, fearing contact with the electric net. But as the net contracted, it was clear there was no escape.
The Zombie King suddenly let out a roar, and then its bone wings sprang outwards to the left and right.
The moment its bone wings touched the electric net, they actually self-destructed. The immense explosive force shattered the Heavenly Net.
This zombie had clearly evolved intelligence, and its IQ was not low. In a moment of crisis, it imitated a gecko shedding its tail to survive.
It chose to shed its bone wings and self-destruct, perishing together with the Heavenly Net.
Its body, now without bone wings and having lost the ability to fly, rapidly fell towards the ground.
The mutation happened in the blink of an eye. Mingyue didn't even have time to intercept, and it was about to escape.
