Chapter 48: Chapter 48, Snake Badge_1 Translator: 549690339 The specter nodded, directly floating down towards the direction of the drug store. Her body gradually disappeared in midair, completely invisible to the naked eye. But Wu Heng could still pinpoint her location. Xiao Xiao pierced directly through the wall, burrowing into the drug store. Zombies were constantly gathering towards the drug store, pouring into it. From what it looked like now, even if survivors were to appear, they couldn’t possibly withstand so many zombies. Very soon, Xiao Xiao flew back up from below. She burrowed directly into his body. The moment the specter entered his body, everything that had just happened played back in Wu Heng’s mind like a movie. In the drug store, a huge, grotesquely muscular Mutated Zombie was fighting with a grey cat of equal size. The giant zombie’s fighting strength was exaggerated, its punches were leaving dents in the wall, with debris flying around. The Mutated Grey Cat, already at a disadvantage, was being pushed back even more in such a confined space. -Oh, so two Mutated beings started fighting each other. That’s great, one less to deal with if one dies, then I can transform the corpse,” Wu Heng was willing to watch them tear each other apart. It would be best if they both got injured and died together. Booom! Another loud rumble. Looking downstairs, a giant grey cat like a lion, stumbled out from the shop. Following behind it was the giant zombie and a horde of normal zombies. From their current state, it could be seen who was more powerful. The giant zombie didn’t seem to have any obvious wounds, while the grey cat zombie was limping, shaking its body. The giant zombie cat roared in the direction behind it, and then turned and ran away. The zombie horde let out an enraged roar and closely followed in pursuit. “Damn it!” Seeing the direction they came from, Wu Heng swore. The grey cat was directly running towards the residential area, from its current trajectory, it would surely pass through the residential area where he was residing. Wu Heng quickly rushed downstairs, directly ordering, Upstairs, everyone goes back upstairs.” All the skeletons downstairs went up to the rooftop. They tightly closed the staircase door again. He would watch from the sidelines, he wouldn’t get involved. If he got involved in this ongoing fight between these two Mutated beings, it would be bad if they joined forces. Just as the door was secured. The grey Mutated Cat and the zombie horde poured into the residential area. The amount was also somewhat terrifying. But the speed of the grey cat still gave it an advantage, it began to spin around in the wide terrain. Wu Heng stood on the roof watching, and also paid attention to the time. He had arranged to go to the black market with Slyther today, he couldn’t delay. “Enter the stairwell.” Wu Heng began to arrange for the skeletons to enter the stairwell and various rooms. Especially the four skeleton dogs, they couldn’t let them run around on the roof, if they attracted the attention of the zombies, it would be troublesome. Feeling that the time was about right, and the zombies outside were gathering more and more. Wu Heng took Basen and directly returned to Black Stone Town. Black Stone Town. Wu Heng, along with Basen, stood by the roadside waiting. Before long, a horse carriage slowly came to a stop. Wu Heng opened the door and climbed in, while Basen sat outside with the coachman. Inside the carriage. Slyther and Yuli sat together, the Cheetah was not visible. -Why do I feel, you’re not quite the same as yesterday!?” Slyther stared at him. “What’s up?” Wu Heng was somewhat curious. Could they see from the outside that he had subdued the specter? “I feel like you’ve become a lot stronger.” Slyther stated. Yuli snorted, “A Mage, training like a warrior.” So, they were talking about his muscles. Last night, after using the Corpse Core three times in a row, his physique had drastically improved. It appeared the effect was even more pronounced than he had imagined, as these two women had noticed at a glance. ■■I’ve recently been learning swordplay from the captain, so I may look a bit stronger because of that.” Wu Heng explained. “What? All this change in one day?” “1 added another layer of armor.” Wu Heng came up with an excuse. “Hum.” Slyther nodded without mentioning it any further. Then, the three them engaged in sporadic conversation. Mostly about trivial matters. Wu Heng was on guard against them, Yuli’s attitude towards him was not particularly good. The carriage left the city directly and changed to another carriage with a blank wooden sign hanging on it, and continued to rush off into the distance. The carriage creaked as it moved along, gradually leaving the town behind. Gradually, carriages began to appear around them. They were of the same style, heading in the same direction, and maintaining a similar speed. It seemed that the people inside were similar to them. Soon, the carriage began to slow down, ahead was a mansion built within a forest. Slyther pulled out multiple thick cloaks from under the carriage seat and said, “Talk less, watch more, tell me if you want to buy anything. The few of them put on the black cloaks, wrapping themselves tightly. Wu Heng himself had also prepared some bandit masks, and after looking at the two women, he put one on himself. The carriage stopped, and Yuli jumped down first. “Hurry up, why are you so slow!” Wu Heng leisurely put the mask on Basen and tied the large cloak. However, he still moved at a leisurely pace. When Xiao Xiao, the ghost, returned to his own body, sharing the sight he had just seen, he got off the carriage. From Xiao Xiao’s investigation, inside the stone mansion was indeed a market built indoors. There were quite a few people inside, all cloaked in black. The three humans and one skeleton headed towards the stone mansion. At the entrance, there stood two muscular men. Slyther threw eight silver coins and pointed at the three people behind him. The strong men nodded and let them in directly. Then continued to collect entry fees from the people that came after. Well, two silver coins were required from each person to enter. Running a black market really is a profitable business. Upon entering the gate, there were chaotic voices in his ears. The interior of the mansion was spacious, but it seemed a bit crowded after being filled with rows of stalls. “Look around first, you can tell me if you need anything.” Slyther whispered. The group went down together, blended into the crowd and looked around casually. The items being sold at the stalls were more miscellaneous than he had imagined. There were creature parts, such as eyeballs, organs and fur, weapons and armor, potions and herbs, along with magic tools and books. Here, you could see pretty much anything you could imagine. “What’s this?” Yuli squatted in front of a stall, pointing at an item. “That’s a scale from a Scaled Beast. It’s very tough and can be embedded in armor to protect important parts.” The owner of the stall explained. “And this?” “That’s a magic tool, it can release a stream of fire. “What about this?” The owner didn’t continue to answer and asked after looking at the people accompanying her, “Do you actually want to buy anything, or are you just asking about everything without checking the price? Slyther gave Yuli, who was squatting on the ground, a kick, and she immediately stood up, saying that she would look around more before following and leaving. Complaints from the owner could be heard behind them. “Only ask the price when you’re sure you need something.” Slyther said, turning to look at Wu Heng next to him, “See anything you like?” “Not yet, still looking.” The group made their way around half of the castle interior. When they arrived at the stairs leading to the second floor, Wu Heng suddenly stopped. “What’s wrong?” Yuli almost collided with him. Slyther also looked over. Wu Heng pointed at the sign hanging at the entrance of the staircase and asked, “Why is there a snake head sign hanging here? A sign with a fierce snake’s head hung at the entrance to the stairs, it seemed the second floor was the base of some organization. -That’s the Snake Badge Consortium. You can store your important items here, they only recognize the receipt issued by the consortium, not the person.” “Oh? Only the receipt?”
