Chapter 449: Chapter 449: The Tyrant Lives

His skin was black and purple, his mouth full of sharp fangs, and his nails like those of a monster. He wore something Bai Junjun was very familiar with—it was the same type of Leviathan Skin they adorned.

Although the art of crafting Leviathan Skin had been lost in modern times, more than a thousand years ago there were probably many around. Besides, this Zhongshan Mountain Overlord, a robust King of the Eastern Land, wearing Leviathan Skin was unsurprising.

Therefore, the one before them was likely the Zhongshan Mountain Overlord.

Through the gloomy candlelight, everyone could see there was an open coffin at the center of the tomb chamber.

It was unclear whether the overlord had been awakened by some disturbance, rising angrily from the coffin, or if Black Six, ignorant of the consequences, had forcibly roused him from his slumber.

Originally, Ah Dao was a staunch atheist, his creed solely consisted of the Death Warrior’s code.

Yet now, he was thoroughly shaken.

He had witnessed the legendary Zhongshan Mountain Overlord with his own eyes, who, instead of achieving a Feathered Ascension to Immortality, had turned into a green-faced, fanged zombie.

Ah Dao’s face turned ashen, and for a moment, he didn’t know how to react.

Li Wenli calmly addressed the people outside the door, "Go find Black Six in the other side chambers."

Such a certain inference stemmed from the general symmetry in ancient tomb architecture.

After passing through three such chambers, there were bound to be another three on the opposite side of the main tomb.

With the main tomb being dangerous, Black Six would surely not hide there; the only other possibility would be the neighboring three side chambers.

This was an opportunity not to be missed!

Ah Dao quickly regained his composure from the shock. His Death Warrior creed once again drove him, blocking all fear and trepidation, as he diligently executed his master’s command.

Thus, with a wave of his hand, Ah Dao led Xiao Chan and the others to the neighboring tomb chamber.

With the group gone, the two fought even more unrestrainedly.

Li Wenli took out the contaminated Salt from his Space and desperately scattered it over the body of the Zhongshan Mountain Overlord.

The Zhongshan Mountain Overlord, showered with Salt, indeed became significantly slower in movement.

Since ancient times, salt and glutinous rice were often divided by Yan Shi and Magicians as secret remedies for ghost-catching.

However, the ancients probably knew only that these were effective against ghosts, but the principle was unclear.

In fact, both salt and glutinous rice have the effectiveness of drawing out poison and killing bacteria.

Zombies are primarily caused by Corpse Fungus infection leading to the undead transformation.

Since salt has certain bactericidal properties, eliminating Corpse Fungus naturally renders the zombie immobile.

Li Wenli used up all the tainted salt and was subtly preparing to take out the rest of his supply.

Bai Junjun, with sharp eyes, saw this and couldn’t help but threaten, "Be careful or I’ll chop off those fox paws of yours."

"..." The almost berserk fox instantly sobered up and silently withdrew his restless hand.

Only after this did Bai Junjun resume her struggle with the formidable Zhongshan Mountain Overlord.

This Zhongshan Mountain Overlord seemed more adept at contending with intruders than the living dead outside, with movements much more agile as he lunged and bit at Bai Junjun and Li Wenli.

However, at this time, the strengths of both parties were equivalent, as the Zhongshan Mountain Overlord and the duo both wore the same type of Leviathan Skin; they could not tear into the Overlord, and he could not slice through their protection.

Amidst the stalemate, the sounds of combat began emanating from next door, indicating that Ah Dao and his company had found Black Six.

Bai Junjun and Li Wenli exchanged glances, accelerating the pace of the battle.

The Zhongshan Mountain Overlord, clad in Leviathan Skin, was beyond their immediate capability to harm.

Finally, Li Wenli came up with a strategy.

He slowly lured the Zhongshan Mountain Overlord towards the edge of the coffin, and Bai Junjun, reading his trajectory, immediately deduced his intention and cooperated, moving in that direction.

At this moment, the Zhongshan Mountain Overlord was no longer the same as he had been over a thousand years ago.
