I'm a zombie, what's the point of awakening the yellow-haired system?

He gritted his teeth and said, "You...you outsiders...you don't know what you are doing...this is not the place for you!"

Zhang Chen narrowed his eyes and lightly tapped with his finger. The village chief suddenly felt a sharp pain and could not help but scream.

"Sophie," Zhang Chen turned to the tree elf and said, "Can you sense the water veins around here?"

Sophie nodded, closed her eyes, and stretched out her palm to sense the surrounding air.

After a moment, she opened her eyes with a serious look: "Master, there is indeed a powerful underground water vein here, but... it is sealed by some kind of power."

Zhang Chen looked at the village chief thoughtfully, "It seems that we have found the right place."

He turned to Su Baizhi, who was still in a daze, and said gently, "Don't be afraid. I'm here, no one can hurt you."

Su Baizhi finally came back to her senses, looked at Zhang Chen gratefully, and nodded slightly.

Zhang Chen looked at the village chief again, with a dangerous light flashing in his eyes: "Now, it's time to have a good chat, Mr. Village Chief."

"You'd better tell the truth, otherwise..."

Before he finished speaking, a powerful pressure had enveloped the entire valley.

The village chief's eyes widened, cold sweat dripping down his face, knowing that he might not be able to escape...

When the three arrived at the entrance of the valley, the scene before them made them gasp.

A large number of priest supplies were scattered on the ground, including bloodstained altars, burnt incense burners, broken statues, and some strange talismans and bones.

These objects silently tell of the terrible things that happened here.

Sophie suddenly felt the hairs on her body stand up and a chill ran up from the soles of her feet.

She was wearing an exquisitely tailored dark green long skirt today, with delicate leaf patterns embroidered on the hem and a thin silver belt tied around her waist, highlighting her slender waist.

On her feet she wore a pair of embroidered cloth shoes, which were both comfortable and beautiful.

At this moment, this carefully matched outfit looked a little messy because of her fear.

She subconsciously clutched her sleeves, her beautiful face full of vigilance.

"Master, there is a strong evil spirit here." Sophie whispered, with a slight tremor in her voice.

Su Baizhi felt cold all over, as if someone had poured a basin of ice water over her from head to toe.

She involuntarily moved closer to Zhang Chen, holding his arm tightly with her slender arms. Her face was pale and her eyes were full of fear.

"Zhang...Brother Zhang, it's so scary here..." she murmured softly, with a tearful tone in her voice.

Zhang Chen looked solemn, his eyes sweeping around the valley.

As a god in charge of heaven and earth, he can sense the existence of all things in the world.

At this moment, he clearly sensed that there were a large number of vengeful spirits floating around.

These are the people who died in the valley. Because their resentment was too deep, they were unwilling to be reincarnated, so they could only wander here endlessly.

He saw those translucent figures floating in the air, some were wailing, some were cursing, and some were staring blankly into the distance.

Their presence casts the entire valley into a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.

"Something terrible happened here." Zhang Chen whispered, with a hint of anger in his voice.

"Someone performed an evil sacrificial ritual here, claiming many innocent lives."

He patted Su Baizhi's hand gently and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Then he turned to Sophie, "Sophie, can you sense where the sealed water vein is?"

Sophie took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

She closed her eyes, stretched out her palms, and felt the pulse of the earth.

After a moment, she opened her eyes and pointed in a direction deep in the valley.

"There, Master. But... the evil there is even more serious."

Zhang Chen nodded, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.

"We have to find out what happened here. Let's go, and be careful."

The three of them walked cautiously into the depths of the valley. The evil spirits around them seemed to sense their presence and began to become restless.

The cold wind blew and the leaves rustled, as if telling the tragedy that had happened on this land.

Chapter 500: You think you can fool me with this little trick?

"Go to hell!" A cold wind suddenly blew by, bringing with it a bone-chilling chill.

But everything happened too fast.

The ferocious face of the red-clothed female ghost was faintly visible in the dimness. Her bloodshot eyes stared at Zhang Chen, and her pale claws stretched out towards him.

At this critical moment, Sophie stood in front of Zhang Chen without hesitation.

Her angelic face was still radiant in the dim light, and her long silver hair cascaded down like a waterfall, setting off her fair skin.

She was wearing a flowing white dress, the hem of which was dotted with twinkling starlight, as if woven into the brilliance of the night sky.

The ghost girl's fingers, like dead branches, instantly grabbed Sophie's wrist.

Sophie's slender figure seemed so small in front of the female ghost in red, but she exuded a firm light.

Her gem-like eyes were full of determination, and her pointed elf ears trembled slightly, showing her inner nervousness.

"Zhang Chen, be careful!" Sophie shouted and reached out to push Zhang Chen away from behind.

She desperately used her petite body to protect Zhang Chen and did not flinch even when facing the terrifying female ghost.

Sophie opened her arms, as if to build an indestructible line of defense for Zhang Chen.

There were tears in her eyes, but more of it was determination and courage.

"I won't let you hurt him!"

Sophie shouted at the female ghost, her voice trembling but full of power.

Her whole body was shaking slightly, but she still stood straight, using her weak body to protect Zhang Chen behind her.

At this moment, Sophie showed a love that transcends life and death.

She would rather endure terrible harm herself than protect the one she loves.

This fearless courage and deep love shine brighter than any light in the darkness.

Before Zhang Chen could even reach out to grab Sophie, he saw her being quickly dragged into the dark abyss that suddenly appeared behind him.

"Sophie!" Zhang Chen shouted in horror and reached out to grab her, but only grabbed a strand of loose hair.

""

"Sister Sophie!" Su Baizhi knelt on the edge of the abyss, her voice full of despair and fear.

She was wearing a simple floral dress, the hem of which spread out on the ground because of her kneeling posture. Su Baizhi's usually pretty face was now soaked with tears, and she was crying like a pear blossom in the rain.

His big eyes were filled with fear, tears kept falling from the corners of his eyes, leaving tear marks on his cheeks.

Su Baizhi's hands were tightly grasping the edge of the abyss, and her knuckles turned white from the force.

Her body trembled slightly, and she was obviously frightened by the scene before her and dared not move.

Those usually lively eyes now only contained endless fear, as if something terrible was staring at her from the abyss.

At this moment, Sophie's last cry came from the abyss, her voice weak but firm: "Master, go quickly..."

This cry was like a sharp blade, piercing Su Baizhi's heart.

Her body trembled violently and tears rolled down like pearls from a broken string.

Su Baizhi opened her mouth and wanted to shout, but no sound came out and she could only sob silently.

Her trembling hands scratched the ground weakly, as if trying to grab something, but she could only feel the cold rocks.

Su Baizhi stared blankly into the abyss, as if she wanted to throw her soul into the endless darkness.

At this moment, Su Baizhi felt unprecedented despair and helplessness.

She wanted to save Sophie, but she didn't even have the courage to approach the abyss.

I knelt there, letting the tears blur my vision, my heart filled with self-blame and pain.

The whole process happened in the blink of an eye. Before Zhang Chen even had time to react, Sophie disappeared before his eyes.

The faint fragrance of Sophie still lingered in the air, but she was nowhere to be seen.

Zhang Chen stood there in a daze, his mind went blank, unable to believe what was happening before his eyes.

(How...how is this possible? Sophie...is gone just like that?)

Zhang Chen's heart was beating violently and cold sweat soaked his back.

He felt dizzy and his legs went weak unconsciously.

The sinister laughter of the red-dressed female ghost echoed around: "My poor little lover, I gave my life for you... Now, it's your turn!"

Zhang Chen just waved his hand lightly, a golden light flashed, and invisible chains instantly bound the female ghost tightly.

Zhang Chen looked down at this creature that was no bigger than a speck of dust with cold eyes, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

(This low-level ghost dares to act so presumptuously in front of me. It really has no idea of ​​the depth of heaven and earth.)

The imprisoned female ghost had an enchanting appearance, and even her pale skin could not conceal her graceful figure.

Her plump breasts are faintly visible under the tulle, and her slender waist and long legs outline an alluring curve.

However, at this moment, she was struggling in the chains like a trapped beast. Whenever the sunlight touched her skin, a "hissing" sound was made and bursts of green smoke came out.

Zhang Chen looked down at her with a sneer on his face, "How dare you, a mere female ghost, act so presumptuously in front of this god."

"Now, tell me the priest's secret, otherwise..." A dazzling light condensed in his hand.

"I'll let you taste something more terrible than sunlight."

The female ghost looked at Zhang Chen in horror and trembled.

When she saw Sophie, who had been pushed into the abyss, return to Zhang Chen again.

Her dark green eyes were filled with fear.

In the end, the female ghost chose to submit to this powerful god.

The female ghost suddenly burst into tears of grievance, and tears rolled down like pearls from a broken string.

Her pale body trembled violently with sobs, as soft and attractive as jelly.

Her plump breasts rose and fell, appearing faintly under the tulle, which was extremely seductive.

She curled up her long legs and pressed them tightly together, as if trying to protect her last bit of dignity.

This pitiful look is enough to make any mortal feel soft-hearted.

However, Zhang Chen's cold eyes still stared at her calmly.

(Heh, she’s just a female ghost who wants to kill me. Do you think you can fool me with this trick?)

There was no sympathy in his eyes, only coldness and scrutiny.

Let’s go back to more than a decade ago, when the end of the world had not yet come.

The village at that time was peaceful, lush and green, and full of vitality.

Although the economic conditions are somewhat difficult, the villagers still lead a peaceful and prosperous life.

No one could have imagined what kind of storm would be brewing beneath this calm surface.

The wife of a local wealthy businessman has been pregnant for more than six months, and the baby in her belly is growing vigorously.

However, this greedy businessman was in a constant state of panic, fearing that his property would be lost.

(If I could be richer and more powerful, who would dare to covet my wealth?)

Chapter 501 I'll Go Down with You

Such thoughts lingered in his mind, making him more eager for more wealth.

One day, a fake Taoist priest who claimed to be a master came to visit.
