It was as expected.
Xie Xiangming listened to the captain’s words, nodding on the surface, but not really paying attention. In his opinion, the captain had lost his edge, his views too decadent. He wouldn’t be like that. As long as he worked hard, he was sure to make a name for himself. His talent assessment was A-grade, after all.
Thinking of this.
Xie Xiangming looked at the captain, who was getting out of the car to eat, and said:
“Thank you for your guidance, Captain. You go eat first. I’m not hungry yet. I’ll go patrol for another…”
Before he could finish saying “while.”
Xie Xiangming’s peripheral vision caught sight of something, and his eyes suddenly widened. He stared into the distance, as if he had seen a ghost, frozen in place.
As he kept rubbing his eyes, confirming he wasn’t hallucinating, he suddenly cried out:
“Oh my heavens!”
Just now.
As he turned to continue his patrol, he caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye. On the roofs of a row of scattered houses not far away, he saw a zombie covering its head, its face contorted in pain. From its appearance alone, it was clear that it was suffering greatly, enduring some kind of agony.
But that wasn’t what made Xie Xiangming feel like he was seeing a ghost. What truly drove him mad was that next to the zombie, he saw a… Woolly?!
“Is that Woolly?!”
Looking at Woolly riding a snail, both the snail and Woolly’s appearance were exactly like the character Woolly, the village chief from the cartoon ‘Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf’ that had accompanied him throughout his childhood.
Just as Xie Xiangming thought he was hallucinating.
“Bad! There’s a fierce ghost!”
The captain, who was about to enter a restaurant not far from Xie Xiangming, also felt a terrifying Yin energy. His expression changed instantly. While shouting at Xie Xiangming, he also looked in the direction of the Yin energy.
Upon seeing this and hearing the captain’s shout, Xie Xiangming’s train of thought came to an abrupt halt. He blurted out in surprise:
“What the hell is that?!”
Let alone Xie Xiangming, even the captain was going crazy.
A zombie at the half-step Ghost King level, its aura looking like it was about to break through to Ghost King, was being headshotted, beaten by Woolly?
And.
Their speed was incredibly fast. The zombie was running, with Woolly riding the snail close behind, repeatedly hitting the zombie’s head. The zombie, bloodied and howling, was fleeing in panic.
In just a few breaths.
Woolly and the zombie had disappeared.
It was at this moment.
Xie Xiangming looked at the captain, his eyes wide with disbelief. The captain’s previous words kept replaying in his mind… “Uncle has seen a lot… this industry is too deep, kid, you can’t handle it…”
The captain also felt Xie Xiangming’s gaze. Just as he was about to ask Xie Xiangming what that was.
Xie Xiangming spoke first:
“Captain, I understand what you mean now. This industry is really… too deep… too… dangerous.”
…
At the same time.
In the distance.
The zombie was being beaten by Woolly. It was no longer arrogant, only pathetic and miserable. Its face was covered in blood, and its corpse spots were bruised. Not only was its skull cracked, but several other bones were also broken.
[Ding! The zombie is terrified. Am I going to be killed by Woolly?]
[Host gains System Points +120]
Feeling the condition of its body, the zombie panicked. Even if it had ghost items for escape, it couldn’t escape Woolly’s snail. If it continued to be beaten like this, it would surely die.
Thinking of this.
The zombie was more terrified than ever. It had thought about its own death, and various ways it might die, such as being killed by ghost exorcists or tortured by ghosts, but it never imagined it would die at the hands of Woolly.
Facing the fear of death, the zombie stopped when it reached an open space, no longer choosing to flee.
Rather than dying slowly while running, it was better to fight for its life.
It could be seen.
The zombie’s blood-covered face showed a look of determination. It said madly:
“You forced me.”
As the words left its mouth.
Woolly, who was in pursuit, felt the zombie’s strength surge like a bursting dam the moment it uttered those words, breaking through that barrier and advancing from the half-step Ghost King to the Ghost King level.
If Grandpa Willow were here, he would surely recognize the zombie’s condition. The zombie was risking its life, using a special ghost technique to forcefully raise itself to the Ghost King level at the cost of its own being. However, this cost was immense and irreversible.
But with its life on the line, it couldn’t afford to worry about such things. The zombie chose to fight desperately.
“Is this the power of a Ghost King? Woolly, it’s my turn to counterattack.”
The zombie felt the terrifying Yin energy within its body and roared at Woolly, about to charge forward and kill Woolly.
However.
Before it could charge out.
Woolly, hearing its words, smiled unhurriedly:
“Is that so? Not necessarily.”
As it spoke.
Woolly extended its hand, and with a *poof*, it pulled out the blade of grass growing on its head.
The zombie recognized that grass. It was said to be the “Smart Grass,” the source of Woolly’s intelligence, which made Woolly very smart.
However.
The zombie didn’t have time to ponder what Woolly was doing by pulling out the grass on its head. Its expression changed drastically. It felt a terrifying power erupting from Woolly. Looking closely… it was emanating from Woolly.
The moment Woolly pulled out the grass on its head, it was as if a seal had been broken. Not only did its aura surge straight to the Ghost King level, but its half-human-sized body also rapidly expanded. Its aged muscles bulged, its posture straightened, transforming into a strong and muscular Woolly.
Boom!!
An absolutely shocking aura washed over them.
[Ding! The zombie is stunned. Mom! Woolly is using its bankai, breaking the seal, cheating…]

The zombie stared at the bull-like Woolly before it, its zombie face frozen, its mouth agape. Its mind was filled with only one thought… “Damn it, is this how the ancients meant ‘simple-minded, strong-limbed’? Pull out the Smart Grass, lower the IQ, increase the strength, a net gain and loss, conservation of energy.”
However, no one could answer it.
Woolly had already charged forward. It stomped on the ground, and with a rumble, the ground was imprinted with a deep pit. Woolly shot out like a cannonball, raising its muscular arm, clenching its fist, and punching the zombie.
The power of its punch.
Even though the zombie had reached the Ghost King level, it couldn’t withstand it.
Bang bang bang…
The sounds of flesh hitting flesh echoed from this open space, accompanied by shrill screams.
If anyone were present, they would see a strong Woolly facing a terrifying zombie Ghost King, holding the zombie Ghost King by the neck with one hand and lifting it up, while with the other hand, it delivered punch after punch to the zombie Ghost King’s stomach.
Along the way.
The zombie Ghost King attempted to resist, but Woolly easily neutralized all its efforts. It could only be beaten, its ribs broken, and blood continuously spitting from its mouth.
Not long after.
As a prompt sounded, the screams in this open space also ceased.
[Ding! Before death, the zombie thought, the grass on Woolly’s head is real grass, damn grass.]

[Ding! The zombie is dead. Mom, you won’t believe this, but I was killed in the Inner Mongolia grasslands by Woolly from the Green Grasslands, beaten to death with fists.]
