Kryptonian fate deduction, invincibility starts from killing monsters

After opening the eighth meridian, Shen Lin's strength increased again.

However, what Shen Lin cared more about was the effect of the Shadow Step martial skill.

After practicing it to perfection, Shen Lin felt much more relaxed, as if with a mere thought, he could cross a distance of one or two zhang and appear in the shadows.

He was eager to practice it and experience the mysteries of this martial skill.

But the current situation...

Seemed like it wasn't the time to study these things.

The sun was setting, and the sky had already become somewhat dim.

Even with the faint light, Shen Lin could still clearly see the entire scene nearby.

After observing for a while, Shen Lin said with some doubt, "Where is the corpse you mentioned?"

As soon as these words came out, the hunter finally reacted.

Although the surrounding scene convinced him that this was where he had previously discovered the corpse, it was now empty, with no trace of the corpse.

"That's strange, could I have made a mistake?"

The hunter scratched his head awkwardly and was about to continue forward when Shen Lin stopped him.

He shook his head and pointed to the ground not far away.

Just now, he also thought that the hunter had led him the wrong way.

But just as he was about to continue forward, he smelled the lingering scent of blood in the air.

Following the scent of blood, Shen Lin discovered a patch of slightly reddish soil.

That was the trace left by blood soaking into the soil.

The hunter shouldn't have led him the wrong way; this was where he discovered the corpse.

"That's strange, where's the body?"

The hunter's eyesight wasn't as good as Shen Lin's, and he only noticed something was wrong after walking a few steps forward.

He squatted down and carefully examined it, then suddenly turned his head and shouted, "Shen-ye, look over here, there are footprints!"

In terms of tracking, the hunter, who spent his days in the mountains, was clearly more skilled.

He pointed to the messy grass on the side and said:

"Although the footprints in this area are messy, I can tell that five people should have walked through here. And judging from the depth, one of them must be large and heavy."

Shen Lin narrowed his eyes, shook his head, and said, "It's also possible that the person was carrying other things. For example..."

"The corpse!!!"

Hearing this, the hunter shrank his neck.

Shen Lin's words, combined with the faint mountain breeze, made the hunter feel a little uneasy.

"Shen-ye, we've already found this place, do you think I can..."

Seeing him trying to back out, Shen Lin smiled but didn't respond, instead saying to himself, "Five people's footprints, the other four are probably brothers from the county yamen. It seems they also discovered the corpse's disappearance and followed to investigate."

"You don't need to be afraid. With me here, neither demons nor bandits can hurt you. Just lead the way."

Although Shen Lin guaranteed it, the hunter's worries didn't diminish much.

He really wanted to turn around and leave, but he also knew that if he offended the county yamen and this Shen-ye, his future days would be miserable.

Helpless, he could only grit his teeth, track the traces, and lead Shen Lin deeper into the mountains.

Before long, Shen Lin saw the hunter suddenly stop and asked, "What's wrong, have the traces disappeared?"

"N-no... no, Shen-ye, you you you... look ahead!"

The dense forest became sparse ahead, revealing an open space.

Slightly raised mounds of earth resembled ghosts lying prone.

Among the uneven tombstones, one or two eerie green flames could occasionally be seen.

This was a graveyard.

"Help! ! !"

Just as the two were observing the graveyard, a miserable cry came from the depths.

A ragged, disheveled man ran over in a panic.

Stumbling, he fell to the ground from time to time, but he rolled and crawled to his feet to continue running, as if the grim reaper was chasing him from behind.

"Help, there's... there's a monster! ! !"

At this moment, he saw Shen Lin and the hunter. After noticing Shen Lin's attire, his face immediately showed joy.

"Officer! ! ! Help! There's a monster there! ! !"

Shen Lin narrowed his eyes and sized up the man. His expression didn't change as he said in a deep voice, "Don't panic! Explain clearly, what kind of monster is it?"

"A man-eating monster! It's too scary..."

He gasped for breath, still shaken, glanced back, and pleaded with Shen Lin, "Officer, please save my life. I have an eighty-year-old mother at home..."

"With me here, those monsters can't hurt you."

Shen Lin interrupted him and asked in a deep voice, "But what are you doing in these mountains in the middle of the night?"

"Ah... I... this..."

The man stammered, lowered his head, his small eyes darting around, and whispered, "I... I'm here to gather herbs."

Shen Lin glanced at the Luoyang shovel behind him.

That shovel wasn't for gathering herbs.

The hunter also stared at the Luoyang shovel for a long time, then sized up the other man, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Shen Lin seemed to believe the man's story and didn't pursue the matter further, asking, "I'm asking you, where is the monster you mentioned?"

"In that direction, past that small mound... Just now, four other officers went forward to fight the monster..."

"What? ? ?"

Shen Lin widened his eyes, cursed fiercely, and rushed out.

In just two or three breaths, he had already rushed past the small mound and arrived deep in the graveyard.

At this time, he heard the sound of metal clashing.

In the moonlight, he saw the scene in front of him clearly.

Two officers were currently surrounding a huge demon tiger, constantly waving their sabers.

It seemed they had been fighting for a while. Shen Lin could see that their movements were somewhat stiff and heavy, and they couldn't even use the Blood Battle Saber Technique, just blindly swinging their sabers.

Not far away under a large tree, two other officers were leaning against the trunk, heads lowered, their lives unknown.

Seeing this, Shen Lin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, fortunately.

The demon hadn't been dealt with yet.

Although the aura emanating from the tiger demon showed that it hadn't cultivated any demonic energy and wasn't even as good as a martial artist.

Shen Lin valued the demon's lifespan the most when slaying demons.

Judging from the tiger demon's muscles, this guy was in his prime and would definitely provide a lot of demon lifespan.

Thinking of this, he drew his long sword and rushed over.

The tiger demon swung its tail and knocked an officer away. It turned around and was about to rush towards the remaining officer when it noticed that in the darkness, there was another bright spot besides the moon in the sky.

But this light, like a hurricane, caused the surrounding trees to tremble with the wind pressure it brought.

Hurricane Sword Technique!

The long sword in Shen Lin's hand danced wildly, like a hurricane directly hitting the demon tiger.

Boom!

With a muffled sound, the demon tiger's body was blown away and landed heavily on the ground.

The demon tiger's body was covered with sword wounds, with a large hole directly in its heart.

Shen Lin didn't feel much joy after killing the demon with one sword. Instead, a hint of doubt appeared on his face.

The next moment, his ears twitched, and he lightly sidestepped.

Swish!

A steel saber fell close to his body.

The remaining officer, as if he had gone mad, began to continuously strike at Shen Lin with his saber.

Clang!

Shen Lin blocked the opponent's saber with his sword and faced him.

After seeing the opponent's face clearly, he was stunned for a moment, then kicked the opponent in the abdomen.

This kick directly knocked the opponent back several steps.

"Roar! ! !"

The officer suddenly raised his head and let out a non-human roar.

Half of the flesh on his face was gone, and one of his eye sockets was empty, the eyeball nowhere to be found.

The only remaining eyeball rolled upward strangely, with no pupil, only a terrifying paleness.

At this moment, he opened his mouth, his teeth as black as ink, and his four long fangs were even longer than those of some beasts.

A zombie?
