Chapter 697 Tracing the Trail

Chapter 697 Tracing the Trail
Just when Lin Hao and Ren Tingting were in a state of confusion, Uncle Jiu and Qianhe on the other side also found the charity cemetery in Mamadi.

It’s just that my mother was busy delivering the bodies to various families at that time, and she didn’t return to the charity cemetery until after dark.

"Ah Hao, did you deliver Nintendo's body?" Mama asked casually, picking up a piece of magic pill from her armpit.

Ah Hao thought of the missing zombie, but he didn't dare to tell his master at all, so he quickly said:
"Don't worry, Master, it's been done!"

Ahao was afraid that his mother would not believe him, so he added:

"That Ren family is so big!"

“And he’s so rich too!”

“There are still so many people!”

"Also, there are many fathers, many mothers..." As Ah Hao spoke, he didn't know how to make up the story and started talking nonsense.

And this is a very annoying interruption:

"What a waste of your life! Why are you talking so much nonsense!"

As he said this, he walked into his own charity cemetery, only to find that it was brightly lit and he immediately knew someone had come.

After meeting Uncle Jiu and Chizuru, Mama's attitude was still as sullen as before. It was enough to have an annoying Lin Jiu, but here came an even more annoying Chizuru.

Both of them were extremely annoying and were always lecturing him, but when he thought about how he could drive corpses on his own, he would show off in front of the two of them.

However, Mamadi's showing off was reprimanded by Uncle Jiu and Qianhe. Mamadi was naturally not convinced, so they started arguing again, and ended up parting on bad terms.

Uncle Jiu didn't want to live here either. It was so shabby and dirty that he couldn't even find a clean place. Besides, he had just had an argument with him, so he wanted to go back to Renjia Town to find his apprentice Lin Hao.

But he was his junior fellow apprentice after all, so before he left, Uncle Jiu still reminded him:
"Since you can already drive corpses independently, we have witnessed it. I just hope that you will do your best in the future and don't lose the face of Maoshan!"

"You two look down on me, don't you? I personally handled this business and did it perfectly without any mistakes!" Mama said with high spirits.

Uncle Jiu shook his head helplessly, but still said:

"Okay, Junior Brother Qianhe will stay here with you. I still have to go to the Ren Mansion in Renjia Town. My apprentice is still at their house. I will bring him to see you tomorrow."

Seeing that Uncle Jiu was about to leave, Mom wanted to keep this senior brother Uncle Jiu for dinner, but she didn't know how to start the conversation for a moment.

Although his senior brother always scolded him, he was not a fool. He naturally knew that Uncle Jiu cared about him, but he was just too embarrassed to accept it.

When Uncle Jiu was about to leave, he smiled and said:

"Speaking of which, it was thanks to you that my apprentice came to the Ren family this time. Ah Hao's fiancée is the daughter of Ren Fa, the eldest son of the Ren family. This time, she accompanied him to the second son's funeral. It was you who rushed back the body of Old Master Ren from the second son's funeral!"

"In addition to Qiu Sheng and Wencai, you have accepted another apprentice?" Mom asked curiously.

Glancing at Mamadi, Uncle Jiu said with a smile on his face.

"Of course, now Ahao has become a master of earth, which is higher than your uncle's master of human beings!"

When Uncle Jiu was speaking, his face was full of smugness, which he couldn't hide at all. After hearing what Uncle Jiu said, Mom's face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

However, at this moment, Ah Hao suddenly said nervously:
"Master, uncle, I, I have something that I don't know if I should tell you!"

Uncle Jiu and the other two looked at Ah Hao and immediately asked:

"If you have something to say, just say it. If you have to fart, just fart. Why are you being so shy?"

Ah Hao gritted his teeth and realized that he had to explain in advance, otherwise when Master Lin arrived in Renjia Town and found out that the Nintendo had not been delivered, he would be doomed and his master would never forgive him.

You have to know that he had solemnly promised his master that Ren Tingting's body would be delivered to the Ren family, and his master guaranteed in front of his two uncles that it would be foolproof.

If the master found out that I didn't send the customer home, wouldn't the master's face be humiliated and even stepped on a few times? That would be a disaster.

Thinking of this, Ah Hao could only confess:

"When Master was sending Nintendo to Ren's house, he was attacked on the way and Nintendo's body disappeared!"

"What?" Three voices exclaimed at the same time. Mama immediately grabbed Ah Hao's collar and said angrily: "What did you say? Nintendo's body was not delivered?"

"Yes, yes, Master!" Ah Hao said in a low voice.

"Asshole!" His mother slapped him in the face. He really lost face today. He had just said that he could start his own business, but his disciple gave him such a "big surprise".

"Okay, let's talk about teaching my apprentice a lesson later. The most urgent thing is to find Nintendo's body first!" Then Uncle Jiu said worriedly:

"Don't let any accidents happen now, otherwise your reputation will be ruined, and your corpse-driving business will be hard to do in the future!"

Qian He also nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, we should go find it now, otherwise something unexpected will happen!"

So the three of them didn't even eat, and each took their own food and prepared to look for Nintendo's body.

When the three of them found themselves near Renjia Town, they saw a thatched hut in the distance. The lights were on inside and several people were shouting loudly.

When Uncle Jiu and his two fellow disciples heard that they were gambling, they were speechless. These days, demons and monsters are rampant, and they are still gambling here in the middle of the night.

"Let's go and take a look!" Uncle Jiu called Qianhe and Mamadi, ready to go and ask.

Inside the thatched hut, there were four rough guys surrounding a table with Pai Gow cards on it, and they were happily gambling.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the bushes beside the thatched house without any warning. Its movements were so light that it made no sound at all.

The dim light in the thatched house shone on its face. It was the mutated zombie that had been injected with various chemical hormones!
But the four gamblers in the toilet were playing cards happily, shouting a few words from time to time, and had no idea that they were being targeted.

"Hey! Let's see who of us has better luck this time!"

The tall and thin gambler, who was leaning against the door, grabbed his own cards and shuffled them excitedly with both hands. While shuffling them, he said to the other three gamblers:

"The more you rub, the more hairy it gets. I'm sure I'll win this time!"

"You really need a good hand this time. Otherwise, if you lose everything, that vicious woman at home will definitely skin you alive."

Thinking of this, the tall and thin gambler became more focused on the cards in his hand. He didn't notice at all that a dark shadow was gradually approaching from outside the door behind him.

The other three gamblers were also concentrating on shuffling the cards in their hands. It was the last hand, and the winner wanted to win more money, while the loser wanted to make a comeback with this last hand.

The tall and thin gambler slowly uncovered the cards in his hand. After seeing the cards clearly, a hint of joy appeared on his face.

He slammed the cards in his hand onto the table with a bang and shouted:
"Supreme Treasure, the Monkey King wins! Hahahahaha! I win!"

When the other three gamblers heard what he said, they all looked at the cards he placed on the table in surprise, and were about to curse him. Unexpectedly, when they looked up, they saw a pale-faced zombie with dark eyes and two sharp fangs standing behind the tall and thin gambler!
They didn't notice when the door opened.

The three gamblers' curses were stuck in their throats before they could even utter them. They were so frightened by the scene that they turned pale. Their eyes widened in disbelief, and their facial expressions were gradually filled with fear.

But the tall and thin gambler was still immersed in the joy of having drawn the biggest pair of cards and didn't notice it at all.

Seeing the horrified looks on his three friends' faces, he even smiled smugly:

"Hahahaha, are you scared by my cards? Hurry up and give me the money, don't waste time!"

“…Zombies~!”

"Ah! Zombies~!"

“Oh my god~!”

After time stood still for a few seconds, the three gamblers suddenly came to their senses, threw away the cards in their hands, and didn't even care about the money on the table.

With a look of extreme terror, he crawled and pushed down the thatched wall, then ran for his life.

"Ahhhhhhh~!" A heart-wrenching scream suddenly burst out from the mouth of the tall and thin gambler.

He wanted to escape, but the mutant zombie stretched out its sharp long nails and grabbed the tall and thin gambler with both hands, leaving him no chance to escape.

Then he opened his mouth and bit the tall and thin gambler's neck, sucking all his blood and essence, and then threw the dead tall and thin gambler aside like throwing away trash.

Just as the mutant zombie was about to chase the other three gamblers, three arrows with corpse-suppressing talismans hanging on their arrowheads whizzed over and shot towards the zombies with a "puff" sound.

It turned out that when the three of them were rushing towards the thatched hut, they heard several heart-wrenching screams and the roars of zombies from afar.

The three of them immediately realized that something was wrong and rushed over here.

When they ran to the front, the three saw the zombie grabbing a person and sucking his blood. Uncle Jiu held the evil-suppressing bow in his hand and quickly took out the arrow. Qianhe immediately put on the corpse-suppressing talisman.

In just a moment, Uncle Jiu finished drawing the bow and arrows, and three arrows shot towards the zombie.

"Swish, swish, swish~!" Three arrows with corpse-suppressing talismans hanging on the arrowheads attacked the zombie with incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, they shot into the mutant zombie's body, and the corpse-suppressing talismans were also firmly stuck to its body.

The mutant zombie who was shot by the arrow suddenly found that there were several extra things on his body and he had not yet come to his senses.

When the mutant zombie saw the yellow evil-suppressing bow in Uncle Jiu's hand, he immediately realized that he was being attacked by Uncle Jiu. He roared fiercely and pounced on Uncle Jiu.

"what happened?"

"Why are you moving?"

"Why is the Corpse Suppression Talisman useless?"

The three were slightly shocked when they saw that the zombie had six corpse-suppressing talismans stuck on it, but was still able to move freely.

"Roar~!" The mutant zombie moved quickly and came close to Uncle Jiu in a few breaths. It stretched out its hands with sharp armor and stabbed directly at Uncle Jiu.

Uncle Jiu still didn't give up, thinking that there was something wrong with the talisman paper. He immediately took out a corpse-suppressing talisman from his sleeve, dodged the zombie's attacking hands, and stuck the talisman paper on the zombie's forehead.

After the zombie had the talisman stuck on its forehead, its movements slowed down for a moment, but it immediately returned to normal and attacked Uncle Jiu again.

Uncle Jiu is really panicking now. His weapon against zombies is actually ineffective. At this time, Qianhe flashes in front of him and kicks the zombie away.

At this time, Mama also saw the zombie's appearance clearly, so she shouted loudly:

"Brother, this is Nintendo!"

Uncle Jiu warned Qianhe, "There's something wrong with this zombie. My evil-suppressing bow, arrows, and corpse-suppressing talismans have no effect on it!"

"Got it~!" Upon hearing this, Qianhe immediately switched to hand-to-hand combat and knocked down the zombies several times. At the same time, he also did not forget to test whether other talismans could be used.

However, the mutant zombie stood up again and again. Seeing this, Qianhe stepped forward and kicked it away, but her feet were numb from kicking it too many times, and she still couldn't deal with this zombie.

"Roar……"

The mutant zombie was knocked away several times, and it angrily dodged and attacked Qianhe. Qianhe's eyes flashed a hint of surprise, as it did not expect that this zombie was so fast and getting stronger and stronger.

Qianzuru didn't dare to delay and attacked it herself. After one attack, both of them retreated seven steps.

“Roar! Roar!”

Seeing that it couldn't defeat the opponent, the mutant zombie attacked Qianhe without giving in. The two of them punched each other again and flew backwards together.

The mutant zombie hit a big tree, but Chizuru stabilized her body in mid-air and stepped on the ground with both feet to relieve the force. The big rock under Chizuru's feet had cracked.

Ah Hao and Ah Qiang in the distance were already stunned. It was the first time they saw their uncle-master at full strength, and they couldn't help but open their mouths and say:

"So, Master is so powerful?"

Although the mutant zombie was knocked down, the punches between the man and the zombie did not hurt the zombie. Instead, Qianhe's blood boiled.

Just as Qianzuru was about to fight it again, the zombie glanced at Uncle Jiu and then dodged away.

It turned out that Uncle Jiu was setting up a formation, hoping to capture the zombie in one fell swoop, but the zombie was too cunning.

Seeing this, Ah Hao ran to Uncle Jiu and said, "Uncle Master, shall we continue to chase him?"

Seeing Qianhe panting with exhaustion, Jiushu looked at Ah Hao and Mamadi who had been doing nothing, and he became furious and said unhappily:

"Is there any need to ask? We have to chase them. Otherwise, what if this zombie eats everyone in the town?"

He rushed directly in the direction where the zombies were fleeing, but before leaving he warned:
"You guys cremate the people who were bitten to death to prevent them from turning into zombies. I'm going to chase this zombie and I'll leave marks along the way!"

After Uncle Jiu left, Qianhe frowned and said:

"This zombie is unusual. It is different from all the zombies we have encountered before. The Corpse Suppression Talisman is not afraid of it. Even the Evil Suppression Bow can only break its defenses and has no other effect!"

Mama frowned at this time, then picked her nose and flicked out a piece of booger, then said:
"It's really a bit weird. It's not afraid of Taoist weapons. I don't know how this kind of zombie could appear. But when I drove the corpse back before, it was really long!"

Then, as if remembering something, he looked at Ah Hao who was cleaning up the bodies and immediately yelled:
"Ah Hao, come here. Tell us in detail what happened to Nintendo's disappearance!"

"Okay, Master!" Ah Hao whispered.
