Chapter 162: Actually, I'm a Master

The combat power displayed by the opponent made Shi Kun extremely apprehensive. Despite being only a third-rank, his actual burst of combat power was no less than that of a fifth-rank. No, aside from being unable to use elemental abilities, he was no different from a fifth-rank.

Furthermore, he had just 'resurrected with full health,' which utterly baffled Shi Kun. Those who can achieve breakthroughs during combat are truly geniuses among geniuses; almost all of them leave their names in history.

Of course, he had to nip such a potential threat in the bud!

At the same time, remembering Zu An's bizarre skills, he couldn't help but feel curious. He wanted to use these zombies to force Zu An to reveal all his abilities, so he could guard against them later.

Thinking of this, he added, "Didn't Brother Zu An declare before that he could 'stare someone into pregnancy'? If you just use that on these zombies now, wouldn't that solve the problem?"

Zu An couldn't help but curse, "Is your brain full of shit? How can zombies get pregnant?"

Besides, even if they could get pregnant, that's a single-target skill, and he only had one use left. It wouldn't work anyway.

Hearing Zu An's curse, Shi Kun's breath hitched. He thought, "Damn it, if even I, a man, could get pregnant just now, why can't zombies?"

However, that incident was too humiliating to recall, and he really had no face to discuss it in front of the goddess and his subordinates. He could only stew in silent anger.

Rage points from Shi Kun +456!

Zu An, of course, knew that Shi Kun wouldn't help him. He was just using this opportunity to shift his thoughts and consider what other methods might solve the current predicament.

Unfortunately, no matter how much he thought, he couldn't come up with a way to break free.

These undead creatures were too difficult to deal with. If only I had those light-element magic spells from novels.

Huh, wait, light?

Zu An suddenly remembered something: hadn't he won a strange flashlight in a previous lottery? At the time, he had no idea what it was for, but it definitely emitted light. Perhaps this light would have an effect on these undead creatures?

Although the flashlight only had three uses, wasting one for a mere possibility might seem unwise. However, with the situation so critical, he couldn't afford to worry about such things.

If he died, what good would it be to have 3 uses left?

So, seizing a brief opening, he plunged his spear into the ground and summoned the "Mystical Flashlight."

Fortunately, although they were in a tomb, the surrounding stone walls, made of unknown material, emitted a faint glow, which was why they had been able to fight these zombie warriors for so long.

Shi Kun and Qiao Xueying, watching from a distance, were both startled when they saw Zu An suddenly abandon his weapon.

Shi Kun wondered if this guy was so affected by his words that he simply gave up resisting, hoping to force Shi Kun to rescue him.

Qiao Xueying, on the other hand, was worried about Chu Chuyan's safety. As for Zu An, she knew his cunning nature; even if she died, he would likely still survive.

When they saw Zu An pull out a short, thick stick, like a fire poker, from who-knew-where, both paid close attention. After all, this guy always came up with odd contraptions; could this be his ultimate trump card?

Zu An, at this moment, was also on tenterhooks. The longsword zombies were rushing forward, swinging their weapons. He had already put down his own weapon, and if this thing didn't work, he and Chu Chuyan might truly become a pair of "fated lovers in death" today.

With trepidation, he switched on the flashlight. Shi Kun and Qiao Xueying were also staring intently at the object in his hand. Then, in the next second, both felt their eyes were about to go blind!

Although there was light in the tomb, it was merely a faint glow, barely enough to see. But when the "fire poker" in Zu An's hand suddenly lit up, they felt as if they were staring directly at the sun.

The longsword zombies fared even worse. They shrieked in agony, desperately scrambling backward. The ones who had been at the very front even began to smoke all over.

Zu An was overjoyed; he hadn't expected this thing to actually work. Noticing archers in the distance drawing their bows and nocking arrows, he pointed the flashlight directly at them.

No matter how fast the archery movements were, they couldn't compare to the speed of light. Soon, the archers were screaming continuously, clutching their eyes, and scurrying away, their bows and arrows cast aside to who knew where.

Chu Chuyan's eyes widened. The scene before her was utterly beyond her comprehension. It was one thing for a stick-like object to emit light, but the crucial point was how terrified these zombies were of it.

Sunlight does have a certain suppressive effect on zombies, but it shouldn't be to this extreme degree, should it?

Seeing that the flashlight was indeed miraculous, Zu An was delighted. He waved the flashlight wildly at the zombie soldiers, shouting, "Come here! Weren't you acting all cocky just now?"

Wherever his flashlight beam pointed, the zombies scattered, dodging aside as if a sheepdog were herding sheep.

He waved the flashlight, pointing it now here, now there, and the zombie warriors retreated like a tide, splitting to either side.

Rage points from Axe-wielding Zombies +6+6+6...Rage points from Spear-wielding Zombies +6+6+6...Rage points from Longsword Zombies +6+6+6...Rage points from Archer Zombies +6+6+6...

Zu An instantly chuckled. Although each zombie contributed few rage points, their sheer numbers made the total quite substantial.

On the other side, Shi Kun's eyes were fixed in astonishment. "What is that thing?" he asked.

Zu An sighed. "Given the situation, I won't pretend anymore. Actually, I'm a super expert, and I've awakened light-elemental abilities."

Chu Chuyan: "..."Qiao Xueying: "..."Shi Kun: "..."

Light-elemental abilities, my ass! Is there even such an element in this world?

And you, a super expert? Who was it just now that this young master chased like a dog?

"Brother Zu An, why didn't you take this thing out sooner?" Shi Kun wondered if he could somehow snatch it from Zu An; it clearly looked like a divine artifact.

Zu An spread his hands. "I forgot."

Because he spread his hands, the zombies to his right suffered terribly, screaming in agony.

Rage points from all zombies +6+6+6...

Shi Kun was speechless. "You could forget something like this? I was just fighting for my life, even lost some of my subordinates, and you tell me you forgot?"

Rage points from Shi Kun +999!

Zu An said with a helpless expression, "There's nothing for it. I have too many skills; it's normal to forget some for a moment."

Shi Kun: "..."

Listen to that! Is he even speaking human language?

Why did he want to punch him so badly?

Rage points from Shi Kun +334!

However, he still had to suppress his anger and forced a smile. "In that case, Brother Zu An, please drive away these zombies so we can explore deeper together. I have a feeling there must be some rare treasures inside. Let's forget our previous grievances. Once we're in, how about you get to pick first?"

"Alright," Zu An readily agreed.

Chu Chuyan was about to object, but then she saw him use the flashlight to drive all the zombies towards Shi Kun.

Shi Kun's face changed dramatically. "Brother Zu An, what do you mean by this?"

Zu An smiled faintly. "Brother Ribi, your divine power is unparalleled, and your movement technique is exquisite. Dealing with these shouldn't be a problem for you. I won't make a fool of myself."

He simply returned Shi Kun's earlier words to him.

"We're leaving now," Zu An said, waving at him while holding Chu Chuyan, leaving only his dashing retreating figure.

Watching the surging tide of various zombie warriors approach, Shi Kun: "..."

Rage points from Shi Kun +999!

Today's update is a bit short, mainly because some things happened.

Last night, I received a message from a reader. We talked for a long time, and there were many things I didn't know how to say...

I can only say that everyone should cherish life!!!

The power of words feels so pale; no matter how much is said, in the end, nothing can be stopped.
