Chapter 218 - Unexpected Situation
Seeing this scene, Huang Kun let out a bitter smile, “These three idiots, I really don"t know what to say about them.”
Although Zhu Xin Yi"s expression was cold, her words still carried a bit of impatience, “One of them was bit by a Zombie.”
“It serves them right. Dying in the Dust World would be better for them. This would prevent them from going back to reality and harm more people.”
Towards Ye Lang Cheng and the other two, Huang Kun did not have a good impression on them at all. Thus his words become poisonous.
At this time, Wei Xiao Bei caught up with the two and relaxed when he saw that Zhu Xin Yi and Huang Kun were in good health.
This did not mean that Wei Xiao Bei could not necessarily lose them, but they were still his disciples. In the Dust World, they would also provide him company, so he was also unwilling for something bad to happen to them.
“What happened?”
Wei Xiao Bei"s question made Huang Kun recount all of what just happened.
After shaking his head, Wei Xiao Bei patted Zhu Xin Yi"s shoulder, “This is also their fate. Taking care of themselves in the Dust World and continuing to live on is already good.”
Zhu Xin Yi did not reply, but her face blushed as she nodded.
Seeing Zhu Xin Yi, Huang Kun and Wei Xiao Bei felt that she was fine. He pulled out the other machete and walked ahead, preparing to inspect the dojo"s surroundings.
Although he had used [Response Search] in the practice grounds, he had only used it once to look 10 meters around Zhu Xin Yi and Huang Kun to save his mental strength, so he did not notice the rest of the surroundings.
Naturally, using it now was not a problem, but he did not want leave the Dust World at the moment.
However, he did have a sore spot for Ye Lang Cheng and the others.
Wei Xiao Bei did not look favorably upon them at all. Even if they died then it was their fate, so he did not want to get involved.
Because Zhu Xin Yi had charmed many Zombies and Treeman Saplings, their speed was gradually slowing down.
Wei Xiao Bei thought for a bit and spilled out the things in his backpack. He then carefully arranged the things inside. He placed the useless things like the Monster Tree Roots into the Small Holding Bag. He only left a bit of food and water in the backpack. Afterwards he checked the weight and gave the backpack to Zhu Xin Yi.
Zhu Xin Yi was stunned as she saw her master. She wanted to say something, but she was cut off by him, “this backpack is still useful. You should carry it instead, there are food and water inside.”
Wei Xiao Bei"s words were clear. The backpack was Zhu Xin Yi"s insurance incase she got lost.
Wei Xiao Bei understood that anything could happen in the Dust World. He did not dare say that he could continue protecting them forever.
Since Huang Kun had the flash drive, he did not have to worry about him.
But Zhu Xin Yi did not have anything, so he gave her the backpack.
Luckily, the backpack was adjustable, so Zhu Xin Yi did not have to drag it on the ground.
Even so, Zhu Xin Yi"s appearance with the backpack was so adorable that Wei Xiao Bei had to consciously move his line of sight.
After walking for a bit, a group of Green Dwarfs appeared and attempted to surround Huang Kun.
The weapons they were wileding were different from the ones in the gra.s.sland. The ones they had were pans, bowls, ladles, and whatnot. Without waiting for Huang Kun to go forward, they threw the things at him, putting Huang Kun in a bit of a dilemma.
Seeing the appearance of the Green Dwarfs, Wei Xiao Bei did not make his move. He simply held the machete on the side, and watched how his disciples would move.
Although the Green Dwarfs that appeared were few and they were weak, their speed was faster than a Zombie. They could be considered the best sparring partners for his disciples.
After throwing junk at Huang Kun, the Green Dwarfs picked up the bricks from the side of the wall and threw them.
At this moment, Huang Kun had already hid behind the Treeman Saplings, while the Zombies at the front were all heavily struck by the bricks.
The unluckiest Zombie had its head smashed by a brick and instantly died.
Towards this loss, Zhu Xin Yi did not have any regrets. After all, Zombies were only good for scaring normal people. Their speed, strength and other aspects were trash. They were only just good enough once their numbers increased.
However, being bitten by them was fatal, so they carried a major intimidation against humans.
The problem was that the Green Dwarfs were not afraid of being bitten and turned into Zombies at all.
So, using Zombies to deal with monsters of the Dust World was quite useless.
The only reason Zhu Xin Yi charmed them was to make them cannon fodder to protect her saplings.
She was continuously commanded the saplings to keep pressuring the Green Dwarfs while also charming them.
After using charm countless times, Zhu Xin Yi had a bit of understanding from her experience, and Wei Xiao Bei had also been there to give her pointers.
Monsters from the same race were not produced from a factory a.s.sembly line. There were weaker ones and stronger ones. If she could control a stronger one, it was always better than controlling a weaker one.
Additionally, her master also said that within the 1-Star Creatures, the strongest would be the Fishman Guard, Young Zhua Guai, Monster Tree, Black Scorpion, and even the Zombie Dog.
Unfortunately these monsters were not as easy to approach.
After taking control of two strong Green Dwarfs, she began her counter attack.
The two newly charmed Green Dwarfs became traitors of the group. The bricks in their hands were now turned against the head of their old allies. Their moves were fierce, as if they were like middle schoolers who watched too many gangster films.
Being ambushed by their comrades, the Green Dwarfs who were all at their own pace immediately stopped throwing bricks. The braver Green Dwarfs threw the bricks at the traitors, while the cowards ran.
It was complete chaos.
The saplings however, had already been stationed at the main points and surrounded the Green Dwarfs. Huang Kun also raised his machete and began killing.
At this point in time, it could be said that the two disciples were already victorious.
The group of 30 Green Dwarfs, other than a few that ran away, were all caught in the net.
Zhu Xin Yi though, did not charm the rest of the Green Dwarfs.
This was also part of Wei Xiao Bei"s advice.
Instead of controlling more cannon fodder, why not save your strength to control better monsters.
Moreover, it was impossible to gain points from charmed monsters, so it would be better to just kill them all, and eventually increase one;s status and becoming a 2-Star Creature.
When that happened, Zhu Xin Yi"s charm ability would truly flourish.
She could control large groups of Lickers, Fire Crows, Wooden Training Dummies, and even Gargoyles and Dang Kangs. Her fighting ability would become incomparable to before.
Moreover, for the current her, relying on charm was not a good thing as it would be difficult to improve oneself with it.
Thus, Wei Xiao Bei told her to kill at least one monster with her own hands in every battle.
In this battle, Zhu Xin Yi had killed more than 10 Green Dwarfs with her machete, reaching the quota.
In truth, Wei Xiao Bei was suspicious of the appearance of these Green Dwarfs and Zombies. According to his own understanding, the Zombies should be based in Cui Hu University extending towards the city center.
The Green Dwarfs too, had placed themselves in the gra.s.sland.
Now, both groups of monsters had actually run over to the dojo.
Could it be that the dojo is close to both places in the Dust World?
Whether this guess was correct or not, Wei Xiao Bei told Zhu Xin Yi and Huang Kun to increase their vigilance.
After all, the appearance of the Green Dwarfs was not a problem, but the appearance of the Zombies were. This was due to the possible appearance of Lickers and other higher levelled Zombie creatures.
“There seems to be a dog in front?”
Huang Kun called out in surprise. Wei Xiao Bei looked at it and knocked on Huang Kun"s head, “Look carefully, that"s a Zombie Dog!”
Huang Kun"s eyes appeared to be a bit bad, but it was slowly getting better thanks to the benefits of the Dust World.
Zhu Xin Yi stared at it and confirmed that it was indeed a Zombie Dog. At that moment, it was biting and gnawing on a corpse with its mouth that expanded like a flower.
In truth, this scene would have made Zhu Xin Yi vomit out the jerky that she just ate if it was in the past.
But now, she did not feel disturbed at all. On the contrary, she became excited.
She remembered that the Zombie Dog was a strong monster.
If she could charm it, then her battle strength would increase.
Seeing that Zhu Xin Yi was about to charm it, Huang Kun did not attack.
The only two remaining Zombies guarded the front while 10 saplings formed a semi circle. Huang Kun stood behind to protect Zhu Xin Yi while the last two Green Dwarfs became the last line of defense.
This could not be helped. With her current charm ability, the maximum distance she could reach was 10 meters.
This distance was only an instant to the Zombie Dog, so she had to be cautious.
Wei Xiao Bei had already jumped on top of a roof to check the surroundings.
As they approached the dog, it stopped eating and looked up, looking in Zhu Xin Yi"s direction.
Zombies were creatures that relied on their hearing to perceive information.
Without a doubt, the Zombie Dog had noticed the approaching Zombies and saplings.
Cras.h.!.+
The rotting Zombie Dog charged over towards her direction and bit the closest Zombie.
