Zombie Bodyguard
Chapter 679 - 676 Zombie Ancestor

Although the helicopter had descended to pick up Xu Feibai, the distance from the ground was still over a hundred meters. Xu Feibai’s effortless jump reached the same height, and even more astonishing was that he was holding another person in his hand.

"Everyone, I’ve got what I came for, so I’ll be taking my leave first," Xu Feibai’s voice once again came from the helicopter, and despite the loud noise of the helicopter, his voice could still be heard clearly.

Five helicopters quickly ascended and flew towards the back mountain. As they departed, Xu Feibai left a remark seemingly to himself.

"With the bloodlines of the four Zombie Ancestors now revealing Jiang Chen and Nu Ba, the world will no longer be lonely, no longer lonely..."

This sentence seemed to be carried by the wind, echoing above the shrine. As the helicopter flew away, the words gradually faded.

"What a shame he got away. If only I could have used my Heavenly Master magic artifact, I would have shown him!" the Heavenly Master Girl stomped her foot, speaking with a lack of conviction.

The Heavenly Master Girl was concerned about whether she could subdue Xu Feibai, the zombie, but Lin Tian’s mind was swirling with Xu Feibai’s last words before departure.

What were the four Zombie Ancestors? Who was Jiang Chen? Was Nu Ba the female zombie Qingyao? If I am of Nu Ba’s bloodline, then who is the zombie of Jiang Chen’s bloodline? And what is Xu Feibai’s origin?

Countless questions suddenly sprang to mind, and Lin Tian felt like he had more questions than his brain could handle. Tonight’s experiences were bizarre enough, and yet, in the end, so many mysteries remained unsolved.

"Can you tell what Xu Feibai’s origins are?" Ning Luoxi asked the Heavenly Master Girl.

"I don’t know. I’ve never seen him before, nor have I heard of his name. There are many hidden forces in the world; it’s difficult to understand them all," the Heavenly Master Girl shook her head.

"What about the words he said before leaving?" Lin Tian casually inquired.

"According to the records of Demon Exorcists, the ancient world witnessed the appearance of four of the most powerful zombies. All four were Level 1 Red-eyed Zombies, the first generation, namely Jiang Chen, Nu Ba, Houqing, and Ying Gou. Their origins are lost to time, but it’s certain that the zombies of later generations are all directly or indirectly caused by these four, hence they are known as the four Zombie Ancestors," the Heavenly Master Girl briefly explained.

"Nu Ba? Is she a female zombie ancestor?" Lin Tian asked, curiosity piqued.

"Yes, it is said that Nu Ba is the only bloodline of zombies not restrained by fire. Of course, not all high-level zombies are afraid of fire, but only the Nu Ba line is resistant to higher-level flames." Perhaps due to the connection of being female, the Heavenly Master Girl offered a few more explanations about Nu Ba.

Lin Tian could now completely confirm that he indeed belonged to Nu Ba’s lineage, the female zombie.

Could it be that the one Xu Feibai mentioned was me? Then who is of Jiang Chen’s bloodline? He recalled Xu Feibai’s last words once again.

"So, the Nu Ba and Jiang Chen bloodline zombies have already appeared in the world. Who could they be?" Li Yue asked curiously, voicing the question Lin Tian had in mind.

"The zombies of Nu Ba’s bloodline, I think I’ve met one. The last time, I fought a zombie in a bar who wasn’t afraid of my Demon Slaying Golden Flames; that zombie is most likely from the Nu Ba lineage," the Heavenly Master Girl said.

Isn’t that just me? Lin Tian thought to himself, feeling quite strange. He was the topic of discussion, and yet he couldn’t reveal his identity. Given the Heavenly Master Girl’s attitude towards zombies just now, revealing himself would definitely lead to a massive fight.

"Then who is the zombie from Jiang Chen’s bloodline?" Li Yue asked again, like a curious child.

"If I’m not mistaken, what Xu Feibai was referring to as the Jiang Chen Bloodline is actually himself," the Heavenly Master Girl said with a frown.

"The emergence of zombies, who knows if this will bring another bloody storm of violence," Li Qingyun sighed softly.

"What bloody storm of violence, there doesn’t even need to be zombies for countless deaths to occur. People fighting each other is enough; war is the true source of a bloody storm of violence," Lin Tian said dismissively, disagreeing.

Zombies might be fierce, capable of killing a person with a single punch, but a missile could kill thousands, even level entire cities to ruins. So who really is the source of a bloody storm? Therefore, Lin Tian absolutely disagreed with Li Qingyun’s statement.

"Discussing these issues is meaningless. We should clean up the shrine and see if there’s anything worth taking. Since we’re here, we can’t leave a single needle or thread for the Japanese," Lin Tian diverted the topic.

"Lin Tian is right. After all, this is the territory of the Japanese. If we alert the police in Kyoto City, they definitely won’t let us take anything from the shrine," Ning Luoxi also agreed.

The Heavenly Master Girl understood this point as well; just the storeroom inside the flower house alone, with its collection of rare and valuable medicines, was already worth a fortune.

At this moment, Lin Tian remembered the little nurse who had been unconscious for quite some time. He was about to wake her up when a group of people ran up the stairs from the base of the mountain.

"Brother Tian, what’s happened? Why is the barrier gone?" Ghost called out from a distance.

"Exactly, we heard a lot of explosion sounds just now." Stone added as he approached.

"Not just that, you said there might be strange things coming out, but we were still shocked when we actually saw them. What were those things?" Thunder Wolf asked hastily.

The others too showed puzzled faces, seemingly eager to voice their own questions.

"Stop!" Lin Tian raised his hand in a halting gesture, interrupting their rapid-fire questions, and shouted, "Don’t bombard me with a pile of questions. I’ll be dazed by you lot even if I’m not stunned by the enemy."

"Okay, let Brother Tian explain slowly," Ghost intervened.

Ghost was always an exceedingly calm person; the fact that he had been so agitated just now indicated the events of the evening had truly exceeded expectations.

"Don’t worry, let me first wake someone up," Lin Tian calmed everyone down and waved his hand.

He walked to a corner of the stairs where the little nurse, Kikuchi Mika, lay properly on the ground. To prevent her from getting injured, Ning Luoxi had chosen a secluded spot for her, so although the battle had been fierce, she remained unharmed.

Lin Tian helped the nurse up, took out a gold thread, and pierced Kikuchi Mika’s Ren Zhong Acupoint, gently twisting it a few times.

With a moan, Kikuchi Mika let out a low groan from her mouth, her long eyelashes trembled a few times, and she slowly opened her eyes.

The first thing she saw upon waking was Lin Tian, and it seemed as if she remembered the scene before she fainted. She gasped and clung to Lin Tian fiercely as if afraid he would run away.

"Brother Lin, I’m so glad you’re okay. Lord Gu didn’t do anything to you, right?" Kikuchi Mika clung to Lin Tian and wept, her mind still fixed on the moments before she lost consciousness.

The surrounding Thunder Wolf, Ghost, Stone, and others looked at the two huddled together, then glanced over at Ning Luoxi and the girls, showing peculiar expressions.
