The Boss Behind The Game
chapter-137

Hu He was momentarily dumbfounded when he learned that there was a living being in it.

According to the ancient records of the Zombie Spirit Sect, incidents of fake zombies or zombie mutations were quite common. However, finding a zombie that could talk was never found in the ancient records. This discovery greatly astonished Hu He.

After mulling it over, Hu He could not help but ask, “Are you alive or are you dead? If you’re dead, I will dig you up!”

When Hiderigami heard it, he really wanted to jump out of the blood coffin and wring that person’s head off his neck.

“Little brother, there’s nothing valuable in this blood coffin, stop trying to smash it. I’ll tell you a place with hidden treasure, so quickly leave here,” Hu He seemed determined to open the coffin, so Hiderigami could only tempt him away.

“That won’t do, I don’t want any treasure, my target is this old corpse – you!”

Hearing this, Hiderigami involuntarily spat another mouthful of bloody mist.

Even when he fought the Demonic God’s clone, he did not feel as disgruntled as he did now. Since he had exhausted his Blood Qi to heal his head, he could not use his powers for now. However, he wanted nothing more than to jump out and strangle Hu He to death.

“Do you have anything else to say? If there’s nothing else, I’m going to continue. All you need to do is continue lying down.”

The bloody mist in Hiderigami’s eyes began to swirl.

“Wait a minute… since you want corpses, let me tell you a little more about this place. There are 3,000 corpses of the Ghost Supreme Commander Level.”

It was a much more effective bait. Hu He, who was going to continue opening the coffin, was obviously tempted by his offer. He immediately slapped the blood coffin and asked, “Where is it, quickly tell me!”

A flash of sly satisfaction appeared in Hiderigami’s eyes.

“Can you see the palace beside us? Underneath it, there are 3,000 corpses of the Ghost Supreme Commander Level, leave now.”

Upon hearing this, Hu He shifted his gaze toward the gigantic palace behind the blood coffin.

“Hmm, after I dig you out, I’ll work on them. Thanks, my brother!” Hu He patted the blood coffin as he spoke. Then, he took a few steps back, and pointed his finger at the blood coffin.

“Smash it!”

In the ancient records, it was written that the people from the Zombie Spirit Sect must not have any compassion for the corpses. Since they were in this line of business, they had to adhere to the rules. Once the excavation had started, it must be completed. This rule was deeply imprinted on Hu He’s mind.

Hence, a cacophony of deafening banging thundered again. Hiderigami was still lying in the blood coffin, as absolute irateness overwhelmed his emotions. He vomited mouthfuls of Blood Qi that were regurgitated from the noisy racket.

Meanwhile, Hu He was squatting next to it, as he scrolled through the forum.

“Hey, Little Brother, this blood coffin can’t be dug.”

A voice suddenly echoed from Hu He’s side, and he jolted in shock. As he turned his body around, he noticed a stout man squatting next to him.

“Who are you? Are you in this line of work, too?” Hu He warily asked, as he stood up.

“Me? I’m Little Sha, but I’m not a Zombie Forgemaster like you,” the chubby man extended his hand, seemingly friendly.

Hu He was a little confused, but he still shook his hand.

“Then, what are you here for? And, why can’t this blood coffin be dug out?”

Little Sha massaged his meaty cheeks and replied, “Do you know who is inside there?”

“Does it matter?” Hu He suddenly said.

Little Sha was speechless momentarily…

“The one inside is Hiderigami, the fiercest zombie of the Ghost Emperor Realm!” Little Sha said under his breath gravely.

Hu He’s expression froze as he asked, “Is it really Hiderigami?”

“Of course it is! Hiderigami is recovering from his wounds after his battle with the Demonic God’s clone.”

“Dig, dig even faster! It’s actually Hiderigami!”

Hu He’s expression became even more enthusiastic. His biggest goal as a Zombie Forgemaster was to discover powerful people like Hiderigami and the Demonic God.

Upon seeing this, Little Sha could no longer be at ease.

“But that’s Hiderigami!”

“Hmm, I actually hoped that it would be the Demonic God. However, Hiderigami is also equally excellent!” Hu He said with a happy expression.

Little Sha was speechless again…

“Aren’t you afraid?” Little Sha was completely stunned.

“What is there to be afraid of? At worst, I’ll just die,” Hu He said calmly.

As a player, the fear of dying did not exist. Especially since Hu He specialized in zombie-forging, he often roamed the different graveyards in Beiqi. He had died many times already. Hence, death was a common occurrence for him, and naturally made him unafraid of it.

“You’re a fierce one! The Zombie Forgemasters are certainly fearless,” Little Sha’s face brimmed with great admiration.

“However, I still need to remind you, Hiderigami chose to heal his wounds here because there is a Yin Soul Eye under the coffin. He’s using the pure Yin Zombie Energy from the Yin Soul Eye to heal his wounds. At the same time, it also acts as a seal. If you damage the blood coffin that is on it, the suppressed Evil Yin Soldiers will escape and create havoc in the Land of Beiqi.

Little Sha shook his head furiously as he said it, as though he could not bear to imagine it happening.

Hu He’s expression darkened when he heard it, as he asked, “Is it really that serious?”

Little Sha solemnly nodded and replied, “It will be even worse. A long time ago, the Evil Yin Soldiers caused the Land of Beiqi to suffer many years of misery.”

“I was wondering why you are so knowledgeable about this, who are you really? Before Hiderigami came here, why didn’t the seal break without the Yin Soul Eye suppressing it?” Hu He asked with widened eyes.

Upon hearing his question, Little Sha pointed at a black coffin nearby.

“That coffin is mine. I was the one suppressing the Yin Soul Eye originally. When Hiderigami came, he moved my home away and wanted to occupy the Yin Soul Eye. I was really angry and fought with him, but he knocked me into the air with merely three blows. Luckily, he was heavily wounded and didn’t have the spare energy to worry about me. Hence, I was able to survive,” Little Sha said with a grateful expression, as though he had escaped the jaws of death.

“You are a Zombie Spirit that has the Spirit Wisdom Manifestation?” Hu He’s eyes widened.

The ancient records stated that forged zombie spirits could absorb Yin energy from the heavens and the earth to grow. At later stages, the strong and powerful zombie spirits could even manifest Spirit Wisdom, and become completely new spirits.

However, this was actually the first time that Hu He had ever seen a zombie spirit with the Spirit Wisdom Manifestation.

“That’s right, I am also something that Zombie Forgemasters like you created.”

“How strong are you?” Hu He’s expression gradually became more excited.

“I’ve been at the peak of the Ghost General level for many years, but I haven’t been able to break through it. It’s so saddening!” Little Sha massaged his chubby cheeks sadly.

“Then, you are the governor of the Evil Nightmare City, the Evil Ghost General?” Hu He digested this information in shock.

“That’s right! After the King of Beiqi conferred the rank of Ghost General on me, I was given the responsibility to suppress the Yin Soul Eye,” Little Sha said laughingly as he continued massaging his cheeks.

Upon hearing this, Hu He glanced at the blood coffin and grabbed Little Sha’s shoulders. Then, he said with a tempting expression,

“Brother, why don’t you help me smash this coffin? Then, you can continue to suppress your Yin Soul Eye, and I can get Hiderigami. Isn’t this killing two birds with one stone?”

“But, if he comes out, we won’t be able to defeat him,” Little Sha was evidently disgruntled.

“Eh… brother, if he really could do it, he would have jumped out and beaten us already. He must be extremely weak now, so we need to take advantage of his sickly condition and take his life! If we miss this opportunity, we won’t have the chance when he recovers.”

“Cough, cough!” at this moment, the sound of Hiderigami choking came from the blood coffin.

“Do you hear that? Hiderigami doesn’t even have the strength to speak now. If you help me to ruthlessly end his life, we can both be in a win-win situation! It’ll be perfect!”

Little Sha seemed convinced by Hu He’s explanation, but he still looked doubtfully at Hu He and uttered, “Will this really work?”

“It will definitely work!” Hu He sounded extremely sure of himself.

Little Sha’s heart wavered when he heard Hu He’s confident exclamation.

Even though he was extremely terrified of Hiderigami, Hiderigami was in a period of weakness, just as Hu He said. It would really be an invaluable opportunity to attack him now.

“Alright! I’ll help you smash it!” Little Sha ultimately replied, while gritting his teeth.
