Professor Li, naturally, did not know that zombies possessed sentience.
This sentience, however, developed with the increase of their power.
Standing on the wall, Zhang Tian looked down at the river.
Within the river, the Xuan Shi swam rapidly, as if afraid of encountering Zhang Tian.
Its swimming was not a series of leaps but a direct movement.
It was likely using its corpse energy to propel itself.
"Holy crap, boss, you all went up, what about me?"
The Fatty shouted, looking at the few people standing on the cliff wall.
Seeing that Zhang Tian ignored him, the Fatty could only summon Feifei.
"Hey, Feifei is still the best."
Carried by Wang Fei, the Fatty once again stepped onto the cliff.
"Huh? Fatty brother, how can you fly? So you're the hidden big shot."
Xiao Guang looked at the flying Fatty, his face filled with excitement.
Flying, that was the dream of many.
The Fatty touched his cheek.
"Heh heh, Fatty Lord is a rare dragon among phoenixes, keep it low-key, everyone."
The Fatty chuckled.
Wang Fei, being a ghost, could naturally conceal herself, so it was normal for Professor Li and the others not to see her.
Professor Li looked at the Fatty.
His eyes lit up.
"I never thought the world could be so magical, can one really fly?"
Professor Li murmured, feeling a surge of excitement.
At this moment, the Fatty had also discovered a new continent.
Wang Fei, as a ghost, could fly. If Wang Fei carried him, wouldn't he be able to fly into the sky?
The Fatty's mind conjured images.
He could even watch the sunset with Feifei amidst the clouds, and from the clouds, view the landscapes of Xia Guo.
Wouldn't that be wonderful?
At the same time, Fatty Lord would become the only big shot in the team capable of flight.
Thinking this, the Fatty became a little excited.
His boss might even look at him with envy.
"Holy crap, why didn't Fatty Lord think of playing like this before?"
The Fatty was overjoyed, wasn't this more satisfying than grave robbing?
Below, the Xuan Shi was in a sorry state.
At this moment, the Xuan Shi felt countless breaths following it from above.
That familiar, terrifying aura sent a shock through the Xuan Shi, like a startled rabbit, its speed increased.
At the scene.
[Good heavens, Fatty Lord has finally figured out Wang Fei's correct usage!]
[I was wondering before, since ghosts can fly, and Wang Fei is so strong, could she carry people into the sky? It seems now that she can.]
[Good heavens, they can actually fly, I want a ghost girlfriend too!]
[The one before? Don't be foolish. Our Fatty Lord is full of vigor. What do you have to conquer Wang Fei? You probably won't even be enough for her to suck.]
[That's right, ghosts aren't something you can just have if you want them. You need a strong physique.]
[Well, we'll see about that later.]
A commotion arose at the scene.
From ancient times, flight had been humanity's dream.
Imagining having wings, imagining soaring freely between heaven and earth.
But in modern times, humans invented many airplanes and rockets, and could even leave Earth.
Yet, this was merely technological assistance, far from the thrill of flying oneself.
"This..."
Chen Xi looked at the scene before her, and to be honest, she was also surprised.
She had also wondered if one could fly after reaching higher cultivation levels.
But now, it seemed possible.
Even though Wang Fei was carrying the Fatty, Zhang Tian and the others' speed and abilities were already infinitely close to flying.
Zhang Qilin could briefly hover in the air, even climb and glide.
Zhang Tian was the same.
If things continued like this, perhaps in a few more years, Zhang Tian could truly reach that realm.
"How are those cultivation techniques used? Why is there such a phenomenon?"
"What products would arise from the combination of technology and their cultivation?"
"Can I also create machines that combine technology and this kind of culture?"
Countless questions arose in Chen Xi's mind.
At the same time, she seemed to have found her goal. After this memory ended, she was determined to obtain a cultivation technique.
Then, perhaps she could conduct even more remarkable research.
At this moment, in the scene.
Zhang Tian and the others followed the Xuan Shi, quickly covering about a kilometer.
As the Xuan Shi's speed increased, Zhang Tian and the others also left the vicinity of the Xian Wang Tomb.
Above, the palace gradually disappeared from their sight.
Professor Li carefully memorized the location of the palace.
If he had the chance, he would definitely return to see it.
That single palace could be a registered heritage site.
"Click, click."
The Xuan Shi seemed to have gotten tired, its movement stopped, and its entire body sank into the river.
Seeing that the Xuan Shi was exhausted, the Fatty couldn't help but scoff.
"Can you do it, little corpse?"
As the Fatty's voice fell, a head suddenly emerged from the water.
The Xuan Shi had no eyes, but its head turned towards the Fatty.
It bared its fangs.
Then, it continued to run forward.
"So persistent."
Shirley Yang remarked, watching the scene.
As time passed.
Zhang Tian gradually saw a glimmer of light.
As he had expected, after exiting the canyon, there was a forest outside.
And within the forest, perhaps, was the location of Yaowang Valley.
As they neared the end, the Xuan Shi stopped.
It felt like it had been tricked.
Zhang Tian and the others seemed to have no intention of killing it, but rather to humiliate it.
As a former king, when had the Xuan Shi ever been so humiliated, except by the Xian Wang.
In an instant, the Xuan Shi turned, baring its fangs and claws, and lunged towards Zhang Tian.
Coincidentally.
The Xuan Shi's first target was Zhang Qilin.
Zhang Qilin was not like Zhang Tian; he would not indulge this creature.
As the Xuan Shi attacked, Zhang Qilin moved, the Black Gold Ancient Saber flashing out.
A black light shimmered.
The Xuan Shi's head was severed from its body.
Zhang Tian sighed.
"Alas, who else could you have provoked but him."
He murmured, and Zhang Tian looked away.
This Xuan Shi was truly unlucky.
It had finally survived, only to encounter him.
Even encountering him was not enough, it had to be chased.
If it hadn't attacked proactively, Zhang Tian could have pretended not to see it.
Unfortunately, it had impulsively attacked.
"This is a zombie?"
Xiao Guang looked at the head on the ground. After its head was severed, the Xuan Shi's body began to rot rapidly.
The rotting head emitted a foul odor.
"Ugh, it's so disgusting, let's leave quickly."
Xiao Guang covered his nose, feeling a slight urge to vomit.
Zhang Tian's gaze was fixed ahead.
They had now emerged from the valley.
Before them was a small river.
The river flowed upwards, its end unseen.
Zhang Tian estimated that the legendary Yaowang Tomb was likely above the current river.
"We're actually out. I never expected that beneath the cave would be a valley."
Professor Li murmured, looking around.
Wasn't this the same primeval forest as before?
"Such dense corpse energy." Suddenly, Zhang Qilin spoke from the side.
"Second Brother, isn't this just the zombie in front of us? No need to be surprised."
The Fatty said from the side.
Zhang Qilin, however, shook his head.
"It's another source."
Zhang Qilin stated.
Zhang Tian looked around.
Why couldn't he sense it? Had Zhang Qilin evolved again?
