Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 2048: Chapter 2045: The Vanished Mu Yun

On the other end of Mu Yun’s red string was Zhang Lingyu, but at this moment, the red string floated in mid-air, and Mu Yun had disappeared without a trace, silent and unseen.

If she was attacked by a strange beast, Lin Tian and the others couldn’t possibly be oblivious. If she left on her own, she should have made a sound, moreover, she had no reason to leave by herself.

The eerie atmosphere was spreading, surrounding them, in the hearts of the three, even Lin Tian didn’t know how she disappeared.

"How could this happen?" Xiao Manxuan’s little face showed some shock, but more of concern. After so many days, such deep friendships had already formed; women’s friendships always seem to come more simply than men’s.

Lin Tian calmly thought it over and said, "Mu Yun is a Demon Exorcist with the power to traverse the Yin Yang realm. If she left on her own, it would be possible to vanish without anyone noticing, but I really can’t think of a reason why she would leave, even if she wanted to, she’d at least say something to us."

At the same time, he asked the Sword Spirit in his mind, "Did you notice anything amiss?"

"This ghost place is problematic everywhere, but there was indeed abnormal energy fluctuation just now." The Sword Spirit’s tone was rather irritable.

"It seems not only my perspective is affected, even you were affected, where Mu Yun left without your notice." Lin Tian was somewhat helpless, this place was too sinister.

"Could there have been some unforeseen changes that we are unaware of?" Zhang Lingyu asked doubtfully; no one could answer this question.

"Now we have a choice, do we continue to search for the Blood Sea or go find Sister Mu Yun?" Xiao Manxuan asked.

"It’s not contradictory, we search for the Blood Sea while looking for Mu Yun." Lin Tian didn’t hesitate, made the decision, then added, "Both of your red strings, tie them to me."

The two women had a slight change in their expressions, their faces turned slightly red. Lin Tian naturally guessed what they were thinking, but there was no time for joking right now. He personally went to tie both of the women’s red strings to himself.

While tying the red strings, a shadow swiftly approached. Lin Tian never relaxed his vigilance, detected its trajectory first, and shouted in a low voice, "There’s an attack!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Lingyu had already formed seals with her hands, her red lips slightly parted, uttering the word "Barrier," a light curtain rapidly appeared, enclosing the three within.

Once Lin Tian was done speaking, the barrier was completed. Its speed was remarkable, causing Lin Tian to be both amazed and curious; could Zhang Lingyu also have perspective abilities to foresee attacks?

But he immediately dismissed this idea, she must have noticed his expression or gaze, no wonder she was a skilled Demon Exorcist.

With a crisp crashing sound, a shadow collided with the barrier, which shattered accordingly due to the insufficient defensive power, but the shadow was also rebounded by the barrier, falling to the ground.

Lin Tian was already prepared, lunged forward, the Heavenly Tribulation Sword materialized in his hand, with one slash, it hit empty air, shattering the stones on the ground, the shadow bounced off, attempting to flee.

Lin Tian was about to exert force to chase it down, but the shadow turned again, making another move, barely skimming toward Xiao Manxuan and the other girl arrogantly for a retreat attack.

However, Lin Tian didn’t immediately pursue but suddenly, the ground burst open, countless vines shot up, instantly wrapping the shadow tightly.

It was only then that Lin Tian appeared, without hesitation, thrusting the sword forward, the vines shook violently, emitting a shrill screech, the sound was piercingly annoying, like a blade scraping against bone.

Lin Tian raised his hand, forcibly pierced through the vines, gripped an object, and yanked it out fiercely. His hand had seized the creature’s neck, the Heavenly Tribulation Sword was also embedded in its body, yet the creature continued to struggle desperately.

With a thought, purple flames appeared in his palm, burning the monster so fiercely that it convulsed then fell still. Lin Tian tossed the creature onto the ground, its neck already half-burned away, if not for Lin Tian’s precise control over the fire, it might have burned away the entire head.

The three finally saw the monster in its entirety; at first glance, it possessed a human form with a head, face, limbs, but its arms and back were connected with a membrane like a bat’s wings, apparently, the monster glided using these wings.

Though the monster had legs similar to humans, its knee joints were inverted, such inverted joints provided stronger explosion power, coupled with winged gliding, its speed was terrifyingly fast.

Earlier, Lin Tian intentionally delayed a step, allowing the monster to step into Zhang Lingyu’s vine trap, instantly capturing it. This kind of cooperation was no worse than Shangguan Ao Yue’s team.

Lin Tian could chase down this monster at full speed, but that would require a prolonged fight in the wasteland, in a place like this, tangling with a monster is a dangerous affair, possibly leading to more monsters appearing.

Dealing with a fast monster naturally requires binding, and in this aspect, Zhang Lingyu’s vine bindings are the best.

Apart from the inverted joints and wing membrane, the monster had extremely sharp claws on both hands. Lin Tian had no doubt that a swipe of these claws over the neck could easily sever the head. If he had been a bit slower earlier, the monster would have broken through the vines.

More terrifying was that the monster’s mouth was ripped to the ears on both sides, as if torn, filled with dense and sharp teeth; one bite and it could easily tear off a person’s leg.

Seeing this jaw, Lin Tian roughly guessed how the Soul Hunter ended up cut in half, bitten at the waist by this mouth, a few quick bites would sever the waist. The two women also guessed this, their expressions not looking too good, the scene was truly gruesome and bloody.

"Is this human or demon?" Xiao Manxuan asked in shock and doubt.

"Human physique, bat wing membrane, beast-like inverted joints, demon-like big mouth, I’m almost suspecting someone conducted experiments to create such a monster." Lin Tian’s gaze swept over the entire monster, saying with a frown.

At the same time, he was also thankful, imagining if zombies had such features along with their zombie teeth, he would probably have to commit suicide.

"The Demon Exorcism Records document many demons and ghosts, among them one called Ghost Tooth Winged Human Beast, whose description resembles the monster, but the monster before us is much fiercer and faster, likely mutated due to the influence of the Blood Sea." Zhang Lingyu spoke seriously.

"No wonder the Soul Hunter suffered. Such a monster is too savage; if they increased in numbers, they’re hard to fend off." Lin Tian sighed lightly, glancing at the bleak remains in the wasteland, unsure of how many Soul Hunters have perished.

Of course, the deceased might be others, but regardless, meeting a group of such monsters would mostly lead to dire situations.

"By the way, Xuanxuan, quickly call out Little Zi." Lin Tian suddenly thought of something and said.

"You’re not planning to have Little Zi eat this monster, are you?" Xiao Manxuan glanced at the eerie monster corpse with a look of disdain, quite unwilling.

Lin Tian shook his head and laughed, "What expression is that? Do you think I’d let Little Zi eat something so disgusting?"

"Alright." Xiao Manxuan hesitated, touched the protective necklace on her neck, and called Little Zi, "Little Zi, come out."

Buzz buzz buzz...

A faint sound, a purple beetle flew out, first dancing an "8" in front of Lin Tian, then returned to its owner Xiao Manxuan.
