My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! Chapter 1297 - Secret Tunnel

Chapter 1297: Secret Tunnel

“A core?” It was everyone’s first time hearing that zombie brains could also produce cores.

Wasn’t that something only mystic beasts possessed?

Qiao Mu’s expression was also particularly grave.

Zombies whose brains produced cores only appeared in her past life after she had trained with the Huge Bear Squad for two years.

This meant that the zombies had exceeded the scope of primary level-five three years in advance to reach the standard of an intermediate-level zombie.

With enough intelligence, a portion of them would be able to conspire against normal humans with rudimentary and immature schemes.

Qiao Mu took out a bag and pattered over to Duan Yue’s side. She then had him throw this l.u.s.trous green grain-like crystal into the bag.

Duan Yue’s mouth twitched. “It has a use?”

However, Qiao Mu shook her head. She indeed had no idea whether or not it had a use.

In her past life, it wasn’t long after zombie brains started producing crystals when Fan Qiuhe captured her. Hence, she simply had no time to properly research this item’s use.

She planned to just collect them first since she did not like to be wasteful.

“Let’s descend?” Everyone had encircled the mouth of the well, while someone even tossed a lighter inside.

The well was quite deep as the light from the lighter lasted for a long time before disappearing.

Qiao Mu gave Mo Lian a glance. “I’ll go down first!”

Yet everyone hastily stopped her. “Wait.”

“I’ll go down first! In these kinds of situations, of course we men should be the first to test the waters!” That mystic cultivator who wielded a broad axe secured his big axe on his back.

He then dug out a full suit of c.u.mbersome armor from his inner world and armed himself to the teeth, only showing his eyes and his mouth. He cracked a grin at everyone.

“Big Bro Axe, you must be careful.” Qiao Mu exhorted with a stoic face. On the other hand, everyone was thunderstruck by her nickname for him.

Brother Axe gave a nod before twisting his wrist guard, which enveloped his body with a transparent s.h.i.+eld.

The level of his defensive mystic weapon was not too high, but it could cope with the gnawing of several sporadic zombies.

Besides, he had a Plan B prepared with his thick armor. The zombies wouldn’t be able to bite through it.

“Hold this.” Duan Yue threw him a baton with a night luminous pearl secured to the end. It was most likely a lighting tool he had created himself. There was no problem with using it to illuminate things in a small radius…

Brother Axe caught that night luminous pearl baton with a nod and stuck it into his belt. He then took a deep breath before leaping to the mouth of the well and sliding down slowly.

Should zombies be springing out, the rest of the people who circled around the well were prepared to go on the offensive so they could come to Brother Axe’s aid in time.

After five minutes pa.s.sed by like this, Brother Axe had finally landed at the bottom of the well. He swiftly slaughtered two zombies that pounced at him before calling out to the mouth of the well, “Come down, there aren’t many zombies.”

After beheading a young zombie hiding in the dark with his axe, he dug around but stopped when he did not discover that kind of core.

At this time, everyone had already slid down the well, and they examined the corridor in front of them that only allowed a single person to pa.s.s through.

*Fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh—* Torches started burning, promptly making the corridor as bright as day.

There were many unmoving zombie bodies strewn all over the corridor.

Qiao Mu gathered those miniature cores as she walked.

“Let’s go.” Everyone followed the group as they examined their surroundings vigilantly.

Suddenly, Mo Lian tugged Qiao Mu’s pet.i.te hand.

Qiao Mu halted and looked ahead.

At some point in time, it seemed that a silhouette had appeared at the other end of the corridor not far away.
