Chapter 162: The Later, Yamamoto Yuichiro!
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
The gathering ce of the Spirit Tribe was quite far from Bear Mountain.
It was located in the opposite direction from ck Feather Mountain, at a distance roughly twice as long as from Bear Mountain to ck Feather Mountain. Therefore, under normal circumstances, Velo and Lu Ming probably would not meet again anytime soon.
Well, under normal circumstances…
In an environment as dangerous as the ck Mist Zone, idents that happened could hardly be considered idental. The absence of idents would be a rare event.
Four dayster, it would be Day 64 of the ck Mist Calendar.
Velo and F, who were on their way, could not help but stop in their tracks.
Ahead of them, a Level 8 Mortal Realm exotic beast was feasting on a mutted corpse.
Normally, a situation like this was quitemon in the ck Mist Zone and would not arouse Velo’s reaction.
However, Velo still stopped and carefully sized up the exotic beast and the remnant corpse.
Soon, Velo frowned.
“It’s a human?”
“F, look. That corpse seems to be a human.”
F focused her gaze and quickly nodded, “Indeed.”
Despite the body being mangled by the exotic beast, the faint traces of the human appearance and physique were still discernible.
What was more crucial was that the clothing on the body matched the style of the attire worn by the humans in the Nanxiang gathering ce.
After some thought, Velo took a step forward, emitting a simple show of aura that startled the beast, causing it to flee. After driving away the beast, Velo examined the body more carefully and confirmed, “Indeed, it’s a human, the new generation of Tribtion Transcenders.”
This location was a four-day journey from the Nanxiang gathering ce, taking F’s (Level 9 Mortal Realm) walking pace as the reference!
This meant that the people from Nanxiang would definitely note here.
Then the significance of this body became intriguing…
“There should be a newnding point nearby.”
“A new batch of Tribtion Transcenders will or have already arrived somewhere nearby…”
Just like New York and Nanxiang.
The people who had experienced the tribtion usually entered the ck Mist Zone by city.
New York was the first batch, Nanxiang was the second batch, and there would surely be the third, fourth, or even a hundredth batch!
This would continue until the ck Mistpletely enveloped Lu Ming’s original world!
And thending point for each batch waspletely random.
Moreover, judging from the situation in New York and Nanxiang, the intervals between the arrivals of each batch were likely about a month.
It was already the 64th day of the ck Mist Calendar.
Following this theory, the fourth batch of tribtion transcenders had already arrived at the ck Mist Zone.
Standing before the human corpse, Velo pondered for a long time.
After a moment, he shook his head gently, “Let’s continue and head back home.”
F asked curiously, “Aren’t we going to investigate?”
Velo shook his head, “No,pared to the other tribtion transcenders, I feel that the potential there is greater. I don’t really want toplicate things by branching out in different directions.”
“But we can note down the location here and take a look when wee back.
We can also inform them about what’s happening here, which could be seen as doing them a favor.”
As for the reaction of the people in Nanxiang upon receiving this information, that was not within Velo’s consideration.
F was obedient and listened to her grandfather’s words.
Since Velo decided not to delve deeper, F did not dwell on it either.
The grandfather and granddaughter passed by this ce and continued toward the territory of the Spirit Tribe. However, they were unaware that at the ce where the corpse was just now, a scarlet eyeball suddenly emerged from the trees, fixing its gaze eerily on their receding figures.
It was not until Velo and F had disappearedpletely, then amotion sounded nearby.
With the sound of footsteps, a figure walked over from afar and appeared near the corpse.
The person had an East Asian appearance, but was rtively short in stature only about 1.6 meters tall—and was dressed in casual clothes and sneakers. From his appearance and attire, this person was a standard Earthling.
The only peculiar thing was the back of this person’s head that was covered by his hair.
A gentle breeze ruffled the hair, vaguely revealing a blurry and ferocious face behind the man’s head…
Seeing that Velo and F hadpletely disappeared from sight, the man lifted the corner of his mouth slightly and spoke softly, “Tsk, I’m a step toote…”
The pronunciation was standard Japanese.
From within the nearby trees, another voice sounded, not in Japanese, but in the universalnguage of the ck Mist Zone, understandable by all intelligent beings.
“It’s notte. In fact, Yamamoto, you came just in time.”
Yamamoto frowned and looked at the nearby trees.
There, a distorted figure slowly stretched out from the trees.
This figure had a unique appearance.
It was shaped like a snake and was long, but it did not have a head. What reced the head was a red eyeball.
It was impossible to describe what kind of creature this thing was.
In any case, it slowly crawled to the foot of Yamamoto Yuichiro and crawled up all the way to Yamamoto’s shoulder along the leg of his pants.
Its body was slightly wrapped around Yamamoto’s neck like a scarf. Yamamoto and the strange snake looked in the direction where Velo and F had left. After a long time, Yamamoto could not help but speak.
“I’m indeed a step toote. If 1 had arrived a little earlier, not only would I have been able to enjoy the spectacle of Akazawa’s miserable end and savor the taste of intelligent life forms within the ck Mist Zone!”
As if recalling something, Yamamoto stuck out his tongue and gently licked the corner of his mouth.
Sharp, non-human-like fangs appeared between his lips, and his dual pupils gradually turned a reddish hue.
He was not human.
He was a zombie!
Listening to Yamamoto Yuichiro’s words, the strange snake’s body twitched, and its voice emanated from therge eyeball.
“Yuichiro-san, you have quite the bloodlust. You’ve only evolved for a short time, and you’re already thinking of devouring a Level 3 Physique Realm expert.”
Yamamoto smiled sinisterly, “Is a Level 3 Physique Realm very strong? If I, Yamamoto Yuichiro, can’t even deal with a Level 3 Physique Realm fellow, it would be a waste of the resources our Undead n has invested in me.”
The strange snake emitted a weirdugh, “Yes, as a seedling favored by the Corpse God, it’s not strange for Yamamoto to be able to torture and kill a level three Physique Realm expert at your current stage… Forget it, let’s not talk about these small matters. Compared to the two Spirit Tribe individuals just now, 1 think Yamamoto should be more concerned about something.” Yamamoto Yuichiro asked curiously, “What is it?”
The strange snake replied, “I just heard the conversation between those two people. From what I gathered, there seems to be a gathering ce for Tribtion Transcenders in the direction they came from.”
Yamamoto’s interest was immediately piqued!
“The Tribtion Survivors’ camp!? Is it the first batch of New Yorkers? Or the second batch of Nanxiang people? Or the third batch from Mist City?”
In any case, it could not be the fourth batch of people from Tokyo…
This was because thest living person in Tokyo had now be a corpse, lying at Yamamoto’s feet.
From then on, there were no more living people in Tokyo, only zombies!
The strange snake emitted a bizarreughter, “I don’t know which batch of tribtion transcenders it is. In any case, would Yuichiro-san like to go and take a look?”
Hearing this, Yamamoto Yuichiro smiled strangely and licked the corner of his mouth, “I’m really itching to take a look…”
