The undead have descended upon the world? I possess a sword that can cleave the heavens once more!

The stall owner behind the stall raised an eyebrow when he saw Wu You's suspicious look: "This is news released by the council."

Wu You was stunned.

Council? He'd never seen that term before on the survey platform.

Seeing his expression, the boss continued to explain: "The council is a deliberative body composed of adults with ten or more seats."

"In the deep dark realm, many missions and important information are released by the Council." He paused, his tone becoming more solemn. "It can be said that the information released by the Council has been verified by Lord Li and is basically accurate."

Wu You noticed the word in his words: "basic?"

The boss smiled. "Of course. In the real world, many situations change in an instant, let alone in the deepest darkness."

Nothing in this world is static. Information also has a time limit; the news you get today may be outdated tomorrow.

Wu You nodded, confirming that this was indeed the case.

However, he still pressed on, asking, "What if order is restored within the Myriad Beast Corpse Clan? Won't these captive Myriad Beast Corpse Species be controlled by higher-ranking Myriad Beast Corpse Species, thus posing a threat to us?"

The boss smiled, this time with a hint of confidence: "Don't underestimate those research fanatics at the research institute... these are truly talented people."

He quickly changed his tune, "There are now isolation reagents specifically designed for the Beast Corpse Clan. These reagents can destroy their organs that receive pheromones, so even if a higher-ranking member of the same clan appears, the Beast Corpse Clan injected with the isolation reagent cannot be controlled by it."

"After all, they can't even sense that it's one of their own kind."

Wu You was somewhat surprised: Isolation reagents, such things already exist now?

The boss continued, "Moreover, the Myriad Beast Corpse Clan is a rather special type of corpse clan. Although most of them are not very intelligent, they have an extremely strong natural sensitivity to danger and rare treasures."

"The deep dark domain is perpetually shrouded in dense black mist, rendering most detection instruments ineffective there. Therefore, carrying a Beast Corpse Seed with you during missions can sometimes prove to be of unexpected use."

He paused, then his tone became serious.

"This is also the main reason why the research institute specifically develops and studies methods for taming the myriad beast corpse species. Although there may be some unknown risks, as things stand, the benefits that taming the myriad beast corpse species brings us are tangible."

"It can effectively reduce casualties in deep, dark areas and increase the efficiency of resource search."

Wu You nodded. The benefits outweighed the risks, so it was indeed worth trying to tame them.

There are rarely perfect choices on the battlefield; most are simply the optimal solutions after weighing the pros and cons.

The boss waved his hand, his tone returning to its casual manner: "Besides, if they have never devoured human flesh and blood since their birth, they are actually no different from ordinary animals."

At this point, he suddenly winked at Wu You and lowered his voice, as if sharing a secret: "When the Myriad Beast Corpse Seeds enter the True Yang Realm, they will transform into a human-like form."

Wu You's eyes flickered slightly: True Yang Realm represents the tenth level.

After reaching the tenth rank, the Beast Corpse Clan can transform into a humanoid form.

Isn't that... an orc?

He looked down at the listless kittens and puppies in the cage, and images he had seen in comics in his past life involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

Then Wu You looked up and asked, "What do they eat?"

"For everyday use, just feed them some energy stones, any type will do," the boss replied casually. "When you're on a mission in the Dark Domain, just let them out. They'll go out and forage for themselves, and there's a chance they'll bring you back some rare and precious treasures."

"Although they are not very intelligent, they are still intelligent. After being injected with the isolation agent, they often stay with humans and become more affectionate towards them."

Wu You nodded.

With their innate ability to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, coupled with their potential to be cultivated to be humane, the Corpse Beast Clan is indeed quite suitable for taming.

But what he was thinking at that moment was: if all the beast corpses instinctively avoided a certain direction, did that mean that there were more and stronger corpses in that direction?

So it seems this thing is still somewhat useful.

"How about one?" the boss asked with a smile.

Wu You's gaze swept around the cage and finally landed on a listless kitten with deep blue eyes.

The little creature was curled up in the corner of the cage, its fur dull and sickly-looking, but its deep blue eyes were like two sapphires, gleaming with a faint light.

"That one will do," he said, pointing.

The boss nodded, opened the cage, reached in, and lifted the little guy by the scruff of his neck.

The cat-like Beast Corpse was held in mid-air, its limbs dangling, motionless, as if it had become accustomed to this treatment.

The boss casually tossed it, and the small black thing flew towards Wu You.

"It's yours."

Wu You reached out and caught it.

At this moment, Wang Qi, Xia Wan, and others, having finished their shopping, gathered together again.

Wang Qi was carrying a bunch of red and blue herbs, which were the Crimson Flame Ice Shards; Xia Wan was holding the Ice Blowing Ore, looking at it over and over, reluctant to put it down; Huang Shaolin was carrying a wooden box, still with that half-dead expression; Lu Chenzhou silently stuffed a few pieces of gleaming gold ore into his trench coat pocket.

The boss closed the cage again and casually asked, "Is there anything else you need?"

Wu You glanced at the stall again and shook his head: "No more for now."

Wang Qi leaned closer, looking curiously at the small black thing Wu You was carrying: "Old Wu, is this all you bought?"

Xia Wan also came closer, tilting her head to look: "This is... a cat?"

Huang Shaolin raised his eyelids and lazily corrected, "What cat? This is a newly born Beast Corpse Species."

Lu Chenzhou didn't speak, but simply nodded in agreement.

Wu You explained, "This is a domesticated beast corpse species, capable of sensing danger and finding rare and precious treasures. You can buy one too."

Xia Wan's expression changed slightly. She took a step back and waved her hands repeatedly, "Forget it, even if she's cute, she's still a corpse after all... never mind."

She glanced at the piece of ice ore in her arms, then at the kitten in Wu You's hand, shook her head, and her attitude was very firm.

Huang Shaolin nodded in agreement, a rare hint of disdain appearing in his otherwise gloomy expression.

Wang Qi and Lu Chenzhou exchanged a glance, then simultaneously looked at the shop owner opposite Wu You, their eyes clearly showing their intention to buy.

They were both pragmatists. As long as it helped them kill the zombies better, why not borrow the zombies' power?

Wu You didn't say much. Everyone has different thoughts and preferences, and you can't force these things.

In the end, Wu You, Wang Qi, and Lu Chenzhou each carried a small Beast Corpse Seed.

The group turned to leave.

Just then, the bosses behind them suddenly looked at them and spoke in unison. Their voices were not loud, but they were particularly clear on the street in the twilight.

"May you all enjoy great military success!"

Everyone turned and nodded to their seniors.

The boss, who had just chatted with Wu You for a long time, leaned back in his recliner, looked at Wu You's back, and added a sentence.

"You're the top student this year."

His voice wasn't loud, but every word was clear.

"Please don't die."
