1508 Battle of the Mo Capital (2)

"Roar, roar!" The terrifying roars coming from afar disrupted the Mo Kingdom capital's peace, and it made the common people apprehensive inside their homes.

Right now, the city was under lockdown, and the civilians had been hurried home and ordered to remain inside.

But this did not mean they didn't know what had happened.

Fear of the unknown made people terrified. These intermittent roars that were seemingly neither human nor beast made them even more petrified.

"Look." Xiao Mi pointed at the bunch of zombies below the city gate tower.

Of these zombies that were courageously attacking the city wall, a portion of them intelligently heeded that roar and walked beyond the city wall instead.

"They wouldn't be thinking of circling around to the other gates, right?" Xiao Mi asked in surprise.

Could it be that zombies had the brains to think, and knew to attack the city from a different direction?

"These things have truly started to mature." Baili Xi commented with knitted brows. "Perhaps one day, they will evolve to the point of being exactly the same as us humans?"

Xiao Mi immediately looked like she had swallowed a fly, while her whole body was shuddering uncontrollably. "That couldn't be! You guys think that these zombies can become like us humans and possess thoughts and intelligence?"

Everyone looked at her with a bizarre gaze.

Princess Mi, do you possess this thing called intelligence?

Yet Xiao Mi merely looked at them in bafflement before reaching out to poke at Qiao Mu's petite waist. "Qiaoqiao, just now they gave me a strange look. What did they mean?"

"They're saying that you don't possess intelligence." Qiao Mu translated that gaze for her before adding another blow. "They feel that you aren't necessarily smarter than a zombie."

Everyone: "…"

Me?? F*ck! Xiao Mi stared disdainfully at Baili Xi, Wei Nanfeng, and the rest. "How do I not possess intelligence? How am I not smarter than a zombie??"

"Cough!" Wei Nanfeng hastily turned his head aside and pretended to be discussing a countermeasure with Baili Xi, Situ Yi, and the others. They directly blocked off Princess Mi's noisy outburst.

"Hey? You say, aren't they, they… too much? Ah?" Xiao Mi stretched out her neck and had planned to give those people a kick, yet she was stopped by Gongsun Lie.

Princess, can you not seek your own death?

"They are too much." Qiao Mu nodded.

Xiao Mi instantly cracked a grin when she heard this. She held Qiao Mu's arm and said, "I just know you're the best."

"Your Highness, Second Young Sir Dou and the people from the Celestial Medicine Valley have come."

Mo Lian cast a faint glance at Huifeng, who had come to make the report, before giving an indifferent nod. "Show them up here."

At the critical moment, Second Young Sir Dou and that group of people from the Celestial Medicine Valley could be counted reliable.

Second Young Sir Dou was accompanied by Eldest Young Sir Dou Fengmian as well as Wenren Ningjing, Kong Roumiao, and other physicians from Celestial Medicine Valley.

Upon ascending the city gate tower, they hastily greeted the crown prince before rushing to distribute medicine that would replenish mystic energy to all the mystic cultivators. This gave many mystic cultivators a favorable impression of them.

Qiao Mu gazed at Wenren Ningjing and the others. Since she had come across them in several battles, they could be considered old acquaintances.

"Your Highness, Centre Master Hou Ping of the Assembly of Worthies Martial Arts Centre has come with a dozen mystic cultivators and twenty plus body cultivators to assist."

"Your Highness, the Duan Clan has come."

"Your Highness, the talisman patrician family has also come."

"Your Highness, the Wu Family and the Hong Family have brought people here."

At this time and moment, their wills united like a fortress.
