The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!

Chapter 239 Zombie Nameless

The graveyard, buffeted by constant gusts of chilly wind, had buried countless souls.

One after another, new tombs rose hastily under the moonlight, many of which didn't even have gravestones in front of them.

Sheets of joss paper floated in the nighttime breeze, the mournful howling spreading through the shadows, inexplicably desolate.

Li Muyang sat on a dirty, tattered bamboo mat, using the moonlight to get a clear view of his own body.

Beneath the pallid, bloodless skin lay stiff limbs.

Li Muyang struggled to stand, a simple action of getting up, yet it seemed difficult at the moment.

Even the joints of this body were stiff.

"Am I a zombie?"

Li Muyang murmured to himself, as a game interface similar to common RPG online games appeared in his view, the health bar in the upper left corner showing [Nameless Lv3].

In his field of vision, the main mission was updating.

[Main Mission: Rescue the Glazed Fairy Sword's Glass Immortal Maiden from the enemy camp]

[Preceding Mission: Head to the heart of Sanhe, find Mysterious Sword Sect disciple Wei Xuan]

With the appearance of this preceding mission, an arrow indicator emerged in Li Muyang's field of vision, guiding him in his direction.

Mysterious Sword Sect... Li Muyang remembered, this was a sect established by the real person Qing Ye in the Tianyuan Dynasty.

All its disciples were the senior brothers and sisters of the Glazed Fairy Maiden, Chu Qingxue.

According to the conversations in previous dungeons with the Glazed Fairy Maiden, the numbers in the Mysterious Sword Sect were few but it was filled with geniuses of exceptional cultivation talent.

This Wei Xuan... seemed to be someone Chu Qingxue had mentioned before.

But the specifics, he had forgotten.

Now that the Glazed Fairy Maiden was trapped in the enemy camp, had this senior brother of hers become a key figure?

Li Muyang, with his stiff body, walked in the direction pointed out by the system arrow.

Within the graveyard, the sounds of mournful weeping from the woman cradling a grave plot drifted from afar in the night.

Upon hearing these cries, Li Muyang's body instinctively became restless, and his field of vision slightly reddened with blood.

[Detection of a living being that can be devoured]

The system prompt that popped up in his field of vision confirmed his suspicions.

This body was, indeed, a zombie.

This bloodthirsty urge, the desire to attack the living, was no different from zombies described in demon path books.

The middle-aged man with [Wei Xuan] above his head frowned at Li Muyang, clutching his chest, "Are you Sister Chu's mysterious friend?"

He sized up Li Muyang with a deepening frown, "Why are you a zombie?"

Li Muyang responded, "The situation was urgent, and after learning that Fairy Chu faced grave danger, I couldn't make it in time for the rescue, so I had to use magic to walk with a nearby dead body."

"Brother Wei, what has happened to you all? Why are you so gravely injured?"

On the surface, Wei Xuan looked intact, free of any visible wounds, but his health bar was almost three-quarters empty, leaving only a quarter left.

This injury meant his life was already half gone.

Upon hearing Li Muyang's question, the stocky middle-aged man fell slightly silent.

His dark skin did not resemble that of a practitioner but rather that of a plain and honest farmer.

Facing Li Muyang's question, the not-so-articulate Wei Xuan thought for a moment and said, "The lord of Sanhe County rebelled, poisoning and setting a trap for Qing Xue and me during a feast."

"I was fortunate to escape, but I lost contact with Sister Chu."

"Sister Chu is trapped in the city. Though protected by the Glazed Fairy Sword, her life still hangs by a thread. I have tried several times to enter the city and rescue her, but I am no match for those Demon Cultivators from the Demon Path..."

At this point, Wei Xuan clenched his teeth in anger.

"That despicable lord of Sanhe County! He is of royal lineage and a lifelong friend of Sister Chu's father."

"At a time when the world is in turmoil, he colluded with the fiends of the Demon Path, betraying us... Damn it!"

The tongue-tied and honest man even lacked vitriol in his curse.

But from Wei Xuan's accusation, Li Muyang came to understand the sequence of events.

It turned out that a county lord of the Tianyuan Dynasty had defected to the Demon Path.

The objective was now clear.

Storm Sanhe City and rescue Chu Qingxue, the Glass Immortal Maiden.

Li Muyang looked at Wei Xuan, "Does Brother Wei have any plans? Can we ask for help from the other disciples of the Mysterious Sword Sect?"

If they could gather the other disciples of the Mysterious Sword Sect or call over the Real Person of Green Leaves, rescuing Chu Qingxue would be a breeze, right?

But quite obviously, the system wouldn't grant Li Muyang such an easy pass.

Wei Xuan spoke anxiously, "There's no time left. The Glazed Fairy Sword bears the Sect Master's seal; if Sister Chu forcefully uses the sword to protect herself, it will consume the essence of her soul."

"If we cannot rescue her before dawn, her soul will be exhausted by the Immortal Sword, dying tragically."

"In such a short time, there's simply no chance to notify others for help."

"We can only rely on ourselves!"
