I Bit Everyone and Became the Strongest Zombie Cultivator

"Do I really hate humans? And why did he go out of his way to ask me that?" I asked myself while watching over the group. "Did they meet someone who especially resents humans? Or maybe they met a serial killer who likes killing humans more than rabid humans?"

Well, it's not like I will be finding it out any time soon.

The building where we're currently staying for the remainder of the night was an enclosed bungalow-type one since that was the only building available. If there were more, then I'd have chosen a more spacious one since this one could barely fit four people. With its strong mossy fragrance and its dampened walls and floors, one would find it gross to stay here.

But when the other option is staying outside where countless screechers roamed, then sleeping in a dark and damp room with four people is the safer option.

"I wonder how Luo Zehn is doing right now," I mumbled to myself. For the past few days, I found it rather calming to talk to myself rather than staying silent. I guess part of the reason why was because the System is literally inside my head and when I talk to her, it's like I'm talking to myself.

Since I have time to kill and there was nowhere to go, I decided to pour more of my qi into the bad egg that I got from the Si Shelter. There's a small chance that this would give me powerful rewards and there's a small chance that I won't get anything at all but even with the odds placed against me, I still decided to risk it. After all, steadily pouring energy into the egg helped me further my control in controlling both of my Cores.

And since I've been doing it for a few days now, I could now subconsciously do it. So while I was pouring my energy into the bad egg, I continued refining my Virus Qi Core and my original Qi Core so they would stabilize even more (Stabilizing Qi Core just never ends, I guess.) And while I'm at it, I decided to check the contents of my storage rings since I'm pretty sure that I missed a lot of things when I first checked it back at Si Shelter.

You know what they say if you can do it subconsciously when you're a master at it. I've been cultivating until I almost reached the Transcendence Realm so cultivating runs in my veins... but cultivating twice the Cores is still much harder to do subconsciously. I don't think there's another person in this world who's cultivating two Cores at the moment. Not only is it dangerous, but it's also counterproductive as well since one wrong move could end your cultivation career.

The moment I opened the Silverwing Storage Ring that the System gave me, I realized that I have about ten thousand shop coins in there and my eyes grew big in shock. I immediately retrieved it from the bag and it automatically transferred to the shop where the coin amount was shown.

But when I checked the shop, my coin count didn't sit on ten thousand, it was sitting on twenty thousand.

"It's because of the screeched your party killed, Yongrui, it earned you 10, 000 coins as well." The System suddenly spoke, making me flinch as I almost dropped the Silverwing Ring.

"I see, so that's the case. Every time I or my party killed a rabid human, I get to earn coins?" I asked.

"Yes, not only that, completing quests gives you a huge amount of coins as well." The System responded. "Of course, the Daily Quests is a part of the quests I mentioned."

"I see," I muttered before thinking about the Daily Quests. Now that I reached the level threshold and unlocked Daily Quests, I started to wonder what the Daily Quests are all about. I didn't want to ask the System about it though since I'm confident she wouldn't know anything about it.

Skeek~!

"What was that?!" I exclaimed, darting around to see where the sound came from. From what I heard, it sounded like a screech and a squeal combined... but in any case, it gave me goosebumps when I heard it.

"Is that a screecher? No... maybe something else." I told myself.

Since the sound wasn't that loud and it seemed like it came from a few hundred meters where we currently were, Liu Zhi and the others didn't wake up since they couldn't hear it.

"This building seems safe enough so I guess it wouldn't be a bother if I check it out," I told myself, slowly opening the door.

Once I got outside, I gently closed the door so as not to wake everyone up. And then, I double-checked if the door was locked or not.

Skreeee~

The sound was a bit closer now and for some reason, the clarity of the noise sent shivers down my spine. I, the esteemed Sect Master of the Tang Sect, am getting the shivers from a sound?! How preposterous!

But just to be sure that the sound didn't come from another mutated rabid human, I put my guard up and slowly walked towards the direction of the sound. Just in case, I also grabbed a cheap sword that I got from Si Shelter. If worse comes to worst, I can use it as a projectile and ran the hell out of there. That sword is just a rusty old sword after all.

When I reentered the underbrush that bordered the forest, I was greeted by a soft rustling of the leaves as the cold air passed by. It's as if someone or something was whispering or blowing air at my rear. That wasn't enough to faze me, however. Swallowing my saliva as I nervously walked forward, I decided to summon the screecher that became one of my subordinates.

And yes, even if I didn't kill the rabid human, I could still turn it into a subordinate of mine. It's kind of a cheat skill but I'm not complaining since it's not every day the System gives me something somewhat rewarding.

With my subordinate with me, I relaxed a little bit when I tiptoed through the forest.

SKREEE~!
