They were both running, terrified, not daring to look back.
The indigenous people of the Amazon were religious. In their eyes, the resurrection of the dead was an absolutely terrifying event, an offense to the gods.
The zombie, on the other hand, feared being eaten.
This was because upon seeing the indigenous people, it not only observed their attire but also noticed the bone decorations they wore.
Cannibalistic, terrifying race?
A horrifying creature that even preyed on its own kind?
These thoughts flooded the zombie's mind as it frantically fled with the coffin. It was so scared that it didn't dare to run backward, fearing that a moment's glance back would mean being caught by the terrifying race.
After running for several kilometers,
The zombie finally dared to look back. After repeatedly confirming that the 'terrifying race' was not pursuing it, it slumped to the ground.
[Ding! The zombie is still shaken, lamenting the terror of the formidable race and vowing to flee on sight in the future.]

As the system prompt sounded,
From this moment on,
The zombie was thoroughly intimidated by this 'fantasy forest' and chose to hide in its coffin to cultivate. Each time it went out to forage, it only dared to hunt small animals, such as sucking the blood of snakes, insects, and mice, for fear of causing a major disturbance and attracting the terrifying race.
And from that day forward,
A legend began to circulate among the indigenous people of the Amazon. They spoke of a terrifying 'god' in the place where the zombie roamed. This god was said to be fearsome, representing death, and anyone who saw it would be killed, meeting their demise.
As occasional indigenous people encountered the terrifying 'god,' this legend was confirmed and spread widely. Even the local Amazonian countries,
During peak tourist seasons, some people acted as guides, bringing foreign tourists to experience local customs and traditions. From the indigenous people, they learned the 'story of the death god' of the Amazon forest.
The zombie became a terrifying legend.
...
Epilogue:
Many years later.
In the border areas of the forest, in a country adjacent to the Amazon forest.
A dead person appeared.
This dead person was terrifying, exuding an unparalleled ghost king aura. It wasn't just any ghost king. Although its clothes were tattered and it was filthy and covered in mud, apart from its deathly pale face, it looked like a primitive savage who had died.
But even so, it couldn't conceal its terrifying nature.
No!
On the contrary, its appearance, combined with its terrifying aura, made it even more frightening.
It was a zombie whose strength had reached the ghost king level and had progressed significantly within that tier.
At this moment,
It appeared here, looking back at the Amazon forest. A look of emotion crossed its dead face:
"It's finally time to leave the fantasy forest. What a shame, why haven't you woken up yet, Xiao Shi? You've been charging for so long, charging for years, and using electricity for minutes."
As the zombie spoke, it took out an ordinary stone from its embrace:
"But it's fine. My current strength has reached ghost king level, and it's even higher than the ghost king requirements Xiao Shi mentioned. I'm stronger than an ordinary ghost king now, so I should be qualified to venture out of the forest."
In its words,
A flicker of light flashed in the zombie's dead eyes as it gazed forward:
"My adventure is finally about to begin. Noahdis Continent, here I come!"
With a heart full of excitement,
It stepped out of the Amazon forest that had terrified it day and night, walking forward. Not long after, it encountered the nearest city in this country.
Then,
The zombie was stunned.
Looking at the city before it, filled with modern elements and tall buildings, especially when it heard the language spoken by the people, some of whom spoke English, though it couldn't understand the meaning, it recognized the language.
And seeing the mobile phones in their hands,
It froze in place. The coffin it carried and the stone it clutched tightly in its other hand both dropped to the ground...
At this moment,
The zombie, which had reached the ghost king level and honed its caution in the Amazon forest, had a blank mind, with only one thought echoing repeatedly...
[Ding! The ghost king zombie is dumbfounded, I've been tricked???]

...
In a star-rated hotel in Rongcheng City.
After dealing with the coffin, Zhang Wei was sent back to the hotel by Cao Yu.
At this time,
He emerged from the bathroom after a shower, glanced in the direction of the Amazon on the other side of the globe, and said with a smile:
"I wonder how many System Points this zombie will bring me. It should be enough to fleece for a while."
With that said,
Zhang Wei sat on the bed, picked up his phone, and prepared to browse the Weidao Division forum before sleeping.
Logging into the Weidao Division forum,
Zhang Wei was drawn to a wildly popular post that had exploded that night, a post about him capturing a water ghost.
Upon seeing the user comment content of 'Pipi Rat Does Not Die from Electric Shock' in the post, Zhang Wei found it both amusing and exasperating.
Others might not know who this guy was,
But he knew very well.
This was his second brother, and potentially his future brother-in-law, Lu Lianfeng.
Unconsciously,
Zhang Wei murmured:
"As expected of siblings. Your sister loves to praise me, and Lianfeng, you also like to praise me."
Speaking of which,
He opened WeChat and sent a message to Lu Lianxue:
[Zhang Wei]: Xiao Xue, Lianfeng is praising me to the skies. When you have time, tell Lianfeng to stop praising me. Although I know I'm awesome, my reputation is still quite fragile.
A few seconds after sending the message,
Lu Lianxue replied:
[Lu Lianxue]: *Covering mouth and laughing.jpg* I don't see your reputation as fragile. I think if you say your reputation is fragile, no one has a thicker reputation than yours.
[Zhang Wei]: That's because I'm bold with you, so you think my reputation is very thick.
[Zhang Wei]: By the way, how was today? Do you have any tasks at hand?
[Lu Lianxue]: No tasks. Xiamen City is a big city, there aren't that many ghosts to kill. I've been very idle these past few days, just attending classes and watching anime.
Looking at the message from Lu Lianxue,
Zhang Wei was about to type a reply when Lu Lianxue sent another message:
[Lu Lianxue]: Zhang Wei, when are you coming back? Xiao Feng mentioned today that you've completed that water ghost mission. Aren't you coming back after finishing your business?
[Zhang Wei]: What's up, miss me? Do you want to praise me like your brother?
[Lu Lianxue]: Filthy King.jpg
[Lu Lianxue]: It's not that I miss you. It's that I was just chatting with Xiao Lin, and she said she's planning to visit you these past few days. She said... it's the weekend, you know.
After sending the message,
Zhang Wei's mind immediately conjured an image of intimacy, and he quickly replied:
[Zhang Wei]: Damn, you should have said so earlier! Tell Xiao Lin I'll be back after tomorrow. I was actually going back today, but Cao Yu was too hospitable and insisted I stay another day. Feels like I've lost several hundred million.jpg
Seeing the messages from Zhang Wei, which were filled with a sense of exasperation,
Lu Lianxue, who was far away in Xiamen City, chuckled. After a moment's thought, she replied:
[Lu Lianxue]: You haven't lost anything. You'll only lose several hundred million on the weekend, maybe even more. *Covering mouth and laughing.jpg*
