Chapter 203: Fighting Side by Side

Firstly, he couldn’t be sure if he could flee successfully. If he revealed a weakness during retreat, it would be even more dangerous.

Secondly, this was a rare opportunity. The Arctic Fox had lost its fighting ability, and the zombie monk, despite appearing unharmed for unknown reasons, must have suffered mental backlash. Even if he hadn’t actually been injured, the balance of power had shifted: Long Qi had gained two second-rank helpers while the opposing side had lost half its fighting strength.

Zhang Mu found it hard to imagine what would happen if they were left to grow unchecked, and how he would cope.

However, Long Qi seemed unaware of this. The recent blow had been too much for him, and he had yet to fully recover from the sensation of imminent death.

At that moment, a woman’s voice sounded behind Zhang Mu.

“Do you wish to fight?”

It was the voice of the woman in the black veil. Thanks to Long Qi’s protection, she had suffered minimal harm and had now recovered her depleted mental strength, standing alongside Zhang Mu.

“Who are you? I haven’t seen anyone like you in Shan Xi City.” Zhang Mu turned his head slightly, openly showing his curiosity about the mysterious woman in black.

“Ha, who would have thought a mere Beast Tamer is a second-rank psychic powerhouse? And his mutated beast is also second-rank. Acting like a sheep to eat a tiger, aren’t you, little brother?”

Despite the situation, the woman spoke in a flirty tone, as if she didn’t care about Zhang Mu, and whispered teasing words in his ear.

“You seem very confident,” Zhang Mu said with a half-smile.

The woman in black veil didn’t back down, changed her tone, and provocatively glanced at Zhang Mu, “So I’m asking you, do you want to fight? Even though you almost lost your life just now? Do you want to fight?”

Seeing the zombie monk across still not moving, Zhang Mu bantered with her happily, casually raised his hand and said, “So what if you want to fight? So what if you don’t want to fight? With your second-rank strength, what can you accomplish?”

The woman in black veil chuckled and said, “I have my ways. If I really can’t make it, then Long Qi, why would he bring me here? If you want to fight, then let’s fight. As for Long Qi, I no longer rely on him.”

Long Qi awkwardly glanced at the black-veiled woman who didn’t give him any face, showing a wry smile. It seemed like he was a bit afraid of fighting just now.

Although he was helping her find possible treasures to advance to second-rank, Long Qi’s main goal was still to reclaim Jin Zhong City, to deal with the hidden dangers near Shan Xi City, as he had publicly stated.

Long Qi, being a soldier, was cold-hearted after hearing the woman’s words just now. He turned to Zhang Mu and said, “Zhang Mu, I was confused earlier. Now it’s a good opportunity. If we leave this zombie alive, it will cause trouble for Shan Xi Village and humanity as a whole.”

Long Qi looked earnestly at Zhang Mu and said, “Even though this matter is not your concern, and I don’t know your true intentions, but if we don’t get rid of this zombie now, it will surely be the biggest time bomb hidden among humans in the future.

Let’s team up and find his weakness together.”

Zhang Mu couldn’t help but chuckle at his serious look, crossing his arms and saying, “I’m not afraid of danger, but can we really find his weak spot if we work together? If we can’t, we might end up in a dangerous situation. The future of humanity is important, but risking our lives unnecessarily doesn’t make sense.”

“So you were worrying about that.” Long Qi sighed in relief, no longer anxious.

Zhang Mu’s curiosity was piqued. Knowing that Long Qi was aware of the zombie monk’s true strength, his words were intriguing. Could there be a hidden card to turn the tables?

Deep in thought, Zhang Mu glanced at the veiled woman beside him and asked Long Qi, “What is your hidden card? Is it her? Or this evolver who hasn’t even reached second-rank?”

Long Qi hesitated at Zhang Mu’s question, saying, “Her strength cannot be judged by ranks. You will see for yourself when the time comes.”

“When the time comes? You won’t tell me now, but when it’s too late? I don’t see the point in keeping secrets. If you’re not willing to share, then forget it.”

Zhang Mu’s playful expression faded, his tone turning cold as he stared at Long Qi intently.

Long Qi gritted his teeth and revealed, “Her awakening ability is precognition.”

Now it was Zhang Mu’s turn to be stunned.

Ability to predict the future?

The most powerful ability at the top of the human evolver pyramid?

Without much time to think, the zombie monk across from them seemed to be getting impatient. Moving for the first time, it made Zhang Mu and Long Qi, who were already tense, follow its movements and assume a fighting stance.

This time, they would really have to fight together with all their might!
