Chapter 97: You People Have Dirty Minds
Ignoring the amused glance from Qian Yun, Han Xuhan imperceptibly moved closer to Mu Ran.
"How do you suggest we deal with this ambush in front of us, martial brother Mu Ran?" Xuanyuan Zhou asked. Mu Ran answered very confidently while pulling out his spear.
"Well, I can just sneak up on them and beat them unconscious. That’s what I’ve been doing since the start. It’s a brilliant strategy because of its simple nature!"
"...None of us needs to take that kind of risk when these zombies are available," Qian Yun butted in.
"Let fellow cultivator Zhou send in a few of them to create a distraction and then send a second group to corner them. We can judge their strength and decide whether to attack or not after seeing the results."
For some reason, Xuanyuan Zhou looked a little unwilling to sacrifice the zombies. But she eventually relented.
Using the squirrel as a scout, she managed to pinpoint the location of the cultivators. They were hiding in a ditch next to the floating emerald orb, having cast a weak illusion art on their hiding spot.
As for how the squirrel could sniff them out, Xuanyuan Zhou refused to explain it, if she knew the answer at all.
The group of four humans and one skeleton maneuvered around that ditch, hiding their tracks easily with the fog, and found the most suitable plan of attack.
Han Xuhan, Qian Yun, and Mu Ran worked together as a team while Xuanyuan Zhou controlled her zombies to attack from the other direction.
The battle didn’t last long. The cultivators had never imagined that their well-hidden location would be discovered and attacked by the monstrous, but unintelligent zombies.
