From Zero to Hero in the Doomsday - Chapter 995
Chapter 995 Mourner
“Do you think this egg can be eaten? I’m so hungry …”
Jiang Shilin looked bitterly at the Sand Lizard egg in her hand and continued to rub her belly. However, everyone looked at her as if they were crazy. The dark army of Sand Lizards was still surrounding them. It would be good if they didn’t eat them, but this woman actually wanted to eat their eggs.
“Just persevere and wait until we reach the Crouching Bull Continent …”
Chen Guangda sighed helplessly. Actually, he was also very irritated. Right now, he was holding an egg in one hand, just like an “egg boy”. Moreover, even if he rode a horse in Crouching Bull Continent, it would take him two to three hours. If they were to walk alone, they would probably not arrive until noon tomorrow.
“Qiu Yu! Can Crouching Bull Continent block so many sand lizards …”
Li Tingyu looked at Qiu Yu with a tired expression. Only Qiu Yu was familiar with the Evil Man Desert. However, Qiu Yu hesitated and said, “I don’t know. However, there are more than 20,000 people living in Crouching Bull Continent, and the overlord lady there is also very powerful. It is said that Sha Lifei will give him face when he sees him. I think he should be able to stop these sand lizards!”
“Lady boss? Is the person in charge of Crouching Bull Continent a woman …”
Everyone was shocked. Who knew that Qiu Yu would shake his head and say, “It’s not a woman. The boss lady is the nickname of that person. I don’t know why they call him that. Anyway, that person is very powerful. He is also the first survivor to enter the Evil Desert!”
“This flower’s name is really strange …”
Chen Guangda shook his head in confusion. The nickname of a grown man was actually Lady Boss. He was probably either a dead gay or a sissy. However, before he could finish his sentence, Jiang Shilin suddenly staggered and smashed the egg in her hand to pieces.
“I… I didn’t mean to, I really didn’t mean to…”
Jiang Shilin shook her head helplessly, but everyone’s hair stood on end. She turned around and looked at the Sandlizard army in horror. Unexpectedly, the Sandlizard army did not move at all. They did not even look at the broken egg.
“What’s going on? Didn’t they come for the eggs …”
Everyone looked at each other. The broken sand lizard egg was obviously a fertilized egg. The embryos inside were almost formed. Even if the sand lizard army did not rush over to eat them, they should still show some anger. Otherwise, they would not follow them like this.
“This egg of mine seems to be a little different from yours …”
Chen Guangda suddenly lifted the sand lizard egg in his right hand and took a closer look. Not only was this egg the largest, there were also some dark patterns on it that other eggs did not have. Thus, he tentatively raised the egg as if he wanted to smash it into pieces. The sand lizard army immediately let out a frantic roar and raised their heads high.
“Pa ji ~”
Chen Guangda smashed the egg in his left hand onto the ground. Unexpectedly, the Egg White scattered all over the ground without any reaction. When he raised the Big Black Egg again, the Sand Lizard army immediately went berserk. Only then did he nod and say, “Understood, this egg is probably their new Queen. They are all here for this egg!”
“New Queen? Could it be that their old Queen is dead …”
Qiu Yu looked at Chen Guangda with some confusion, but Chen Guangda shook his head and said, “Not necessarily! Sometimes, their population grows too large, and the food on the territory is not enough for them to eat. The old queen will regenerate a new queen, and then carve out a portion of the lizards to separate from them. This egg in my hand should be from this!”
“Hu ~ You scared me to death. So it’s just for the egg in your hand. I thought they were going to fight us to the death …”
Jiang Shilin kept patting her chest and gasping for breath, but Yan Qing frowned and said, “Whether this egg is a queen or not is meaningless. The sand lizard simply doesn’t understand your threat. We still can’t get rid of them. Furthermore, even if the people of Crouching Bull Continent help us eradicate the sand lizard, they won’t let us go after this!”
“There’s no good way. Let’s just take one step at a time …”
Chen Guangda sighed with disappointment. After stuffing the big black egg into his backpack, he continued walking forward. However, not even half an hour after they left, a string of lights suddenly lit up in front of them. From afar, it looked like a horse caravan. Chen Guangda immediately shouted excitedly, “Here comes the savior. Come with me!”
Everyone followed behind Chen Guangda for a while. The Sand Lizard army behind him also followed him anxiously. However, just as everyone thought that he was going to look for the horses, Chen Guangda suddenly turned around and hid behind a dirt slope. He laid on the back of the slope and stared at the thieves.
“Shh ~ Put the eggs away. Nobody says anything. Just follow me closely later …”
Chen Guangda gently made a silent gesture. Everyone could only suspiciously shut their mouths. However, they weren’t the only ones ambushing them. The Sandlizard army below also hid. They either rushed into the bushes by the side of the road or quickly dug into the ground. Their hunting instincts had clearly exceeded their responsibility to protect the Queen.
Regarding this! The slowly approaching horses actually didn’t notice anything and headed straight for the ambush circle of the Sandlizard army. However, when they got closer, everyone suddenly widened their eyes in shock. This slowly approaching horses was actually not a group of horses, but a group of living corpses. However, these living corpses were extremely evil.
Not only were they lined up neatly, they were also holding weapons or carrying lanterns in their hands. They staggered over like a fierce ghost crossing over. Qiu Yu almost cried out in fright. He covered his mouth and trembled, saying, “Yes … they are funeral mourners, they are funeral mourners!”
“What is a mourner …”
Chen Guangda looked at her suspiciously. This strange name was very similar to theirs, but Qiu Yu pointed forward with a trembling finger. Chen Guangda saw two high soul-summoning banners with the words “Funeral” clearly written on them. There were also a few donkey carts pulling goods and a golden carriage carved with dragons and phoenixes in the middle.
“They are the most evil organization in the Evil Desert. There aren’t many of them, but no one dares to provoke them …”
Qiu Yu covered her mouth and trembled in fear, “They occupy a place called Coffin Mountain, not within the sixteen continents of Misty Cloud. Those living corpses are all corpses they sacrificed, each of them their former enemies. Moreover, they often capture women and children for no reason. After they capture them, they throw them into a furnace and help them cultivate evil spells!”
“Bullshit evil spells, mutants …”
Chen Guangda sneered with disdain. He had seen many such scary tricks. The Northwest Army Corpse Controllers and Golden-furred Bat Kings could control corpses, but he didn’t know if these people were related to them. However, before his words fell, the long procession of living corpses suddenly stopped.
“What’s going on? Why are there so many sand lizards …”
Suddenly, a black-robed old man walked out of the luxurious carriage. His skinny old face was like a skull, but his long white hair was like a Taoist priest. He wore a bun directly above his head, with a white jade hairpin inserted in it. In his hand was a black Soul Summoning Banner. There were actually three large white skulls painted on it.
“Master! Do you want us to go take a look …”
A group of young men and women suddenly rushed to the front of the car. Each of them was dressed in a black cloth robe. They were either holding a Soul Summoning Banner or a Spirit Extinguishing Nail in their hands, or even holding a Demon Shining Mirror. At first glance, they thought that they were all coming out to attend a funeral, causing one’s hair to stand on end for no reason.
“No need! Someone is playing tricks …”
The black-robed old man gently waved his hand and looked at Chen Guangda and the others. Then, he clasped his fists and shouted, “I wonder which expert is here. This old man is the Coffin Mountain Spirit Consonance Daoist. I passed by your precious land on my way to see my old friend. Please forgive me if there is any inconvenience. This old man will definitely give me a good gift!”
“Haha ~ Consonance Taoist Priest! Sure enough, you’re very capable …”
Chen Guangda suddenly laughed loudly. He actually jumped out from behind the slope. He put his hands behind his back and tried his best to act like a hero. Then, he swaggered forward a few steps. A group of sand lizards hiding in the bushes immediately scattered and fled, fearing that they would anger Chen Guangda and squeeze their Queen to death.
However, this scene was completely different in the eyes of others. The black-robed old man’s gaze instantly became serious. His disciples were also stunned. However, Consonance Taoist Priest calmly shouted, “This little brother is the best. That little tripod kung fu of mine is really not worth it. May I ask your name?”
“You don’t need to ask me who my surname is. I just want to ask you to lend me something for use …”
Chen Guangda held his hands behind his back with awe-inspiring might. The look of contempt in his eyes was truly not something that ordinary people could learn. However, Consonance Taoist Priest sized him up once more and then cut off his neck with a sneer, “Little brother, are you referring to this old man’s head?”
“What do I need your head for? My carriage is broken. Just lend me a carriage.”
Chen Guangdayun pretended to be tough and didn’t care about the other party’s corpse squad at all. However, the other party turned around and looked at the carriages filled with goods behind him. He then glared at his disciples with cold light. His disciples immediately shouted in panic, “Master! It’s definitely not a secret that we leaked. It has nothing to do with us!”
“Hmph ~ I’ll settle this with you guys later …”
Consonance Taoist Priest coldly snorted, then turned to stare at Chen Guangda and said sternly, “Just who sent you here? Don’t think that it’s amazing that you can control the Sand Lizard. This old man isn’t easy to provoke. If you don’t give me an honest explanation, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
“Uh ~ I was just lending you a carriage, it’s not like I’m not returning it to you …”
Chen Guangda looked at the furious Consonance Taoist Priest. He was completely confused, but Li Tingyu anxiously said from behind, “Old Chen! You’re pretending too much. There’s a mutated living corpse hidden in his carriage. At least six bars are starting. Such a big battle is definitely transporting treasures. He treats us as enemies!”
“Holy shit! Isn’t it so unlucky …”
Chen Guangda took a step back with a face full of sorrow. The Sand Lizard army hadn’t gotten rid of it yet. He hadn’t expected to kick another iron plate. Moreover, Consonance Taoist Priest had a bad temper. He waved his Soul Summoning Banner and shouted, “Don’t say that. Don’t blame me for being rude. I want to see if your Sand Lizard is strong or my living corpse!”
