- Dimensional Gods’ Selection: Only I Know Saitama is the Strongest
- OKSTS Chapter 54
In the original plot of *Mr. Vampire*.
When a person is scratched by a zombie, it typically takes about half a day for the corpse poison to infect them and turn them into a zombie.
The character Wencai is the most notable example of this.
If not for Uncle Nine soaking him in glutinous rice water to absorb the corpse poison, Wencai wouldn’t have survived.
However, if someone is directly bitten to death by a zombie.
They may turn into a new zombie in just two or three hours!
All these bandits had been bitten to death by Old Master Ren.
In about two or three hours, they would likely transform into new zombies!
Since there was some time to wait.
Fang Ye decided to find something to do.
His eyes turned to the stable where a few horses were kept.
“Xiao Su, can you ride a horse?” Fang Ye asked.
*Xiao Su*…
Su Ziqiu was slightly taken aback by the nickname.
They were the same age, and if they compared birthdays, she might even be older!
But Su Ziqiu only grumbled to herself. On the surface, she had already settled into her role as an assistant.
“I can ride a little,” Su Ziqiu replied.
“Oh?” Fang Ye’s eyes lit up. “Ride a bit for me.”
Su Ziqiu pouted but obediently went to the stable, led out a horse, mounted it, and began riding.
The horses were already well-trained and very tame.
Su Ziqiu rode around the camp with ease, looking graceful and confident!
This wasn’t just riding a little.
She was clearly a skilled equestrian.
In today’s modern world, anyone who regularly rode horses was either wealthy or of high social standing.
From this, it was obvious.
Su Ziqiu came from a well-off family.
At the very least, she was a beautiful, wealthy heiress!
“Not bad, not bad!”
Fang Ye complimented her and then added without hesitation, “Come teach me how to ride!”
He planned to travel by horseback from now on.
After all, relying on his legs would waste too much time.
Hearing Fang Ye’s request, Su Ziqiu smiled brightly, clearly pleased.
Since entering the Forbidden Land, she had always been the less noticeable one.
Finally!
She had a skill where she could surpass Fang Ye!
“Fang Ye, call me *Teacher*!”
Fang Ye wasn’t one to be embarrassed. He laughed and said, “Alright, Teacher Su, please teach your student!”
Su Ziqiu couldn’t help but laugh, rolling her eyes at Fang Ye before starting the lesson.
“Riding is actually easy to learn. Once a horse is trained, it’s very docile. Just don’t use brute force to control it—relax, and it’ll carry you without issue…”
Two hours later.
Fang Ye finally got the hang of it and was slowly riding around the bandit camp on horseback.
His riding skills weren’t polished yet.
If the horse ran too fast, Fang Ye would likely lose balance and fall off.
While Fang Ye was practicing, Su Ziqiu suddenly called out, “Fang Ye, something’s happening!”
Hearing this, Fang Ye quickly reined in the horse and dismounted.
The horse also seemed uneasy, as if sensing danger.
Fang Ye patted the horse’s head, tied it to a nearby post, and walked over to Su Ziqiu.
On the ground.
One of the bandits’ corpses was twitching.
It seemed on the verge of waking up!
Before long.
The corpse’s eyes suddenly snapped open, revealing terrifying fangs as it let out low growls.
The first bandit had turned into a zombie!
Just as the newly transformed zombie was trying to get up, a heavy foot slammed down, forcing it back to the ground.
“Argh!”
The zombie howled in pain, struggling violently, even trying to bite Fang Ye.
Fang Ye snorted coldly, and in just a few moves, dismembered the zombie’s arms and legs, rendering it immobile.
“Su Ziqiu, bring me the peachwood sword!” Fang Ye ordered.
“Oh, okay!”
Su Ziqiu quickly found the peachwood sword and handed it to Fang Ye.
However, Fang Ye didn’t take it. Instead, he said to Su Ziqiu, “Aim for its heart and stab it!”
Su Ziqiu hesitated for a moment.
She wasn’t foolish—she understood that Fang Ye was giving her the chance to claim the reward for killing the zombie.
“What are you waiting for? The other corpses are about to turn too!” Fang Ye urged.
Su Ziqiu took a deep breath, raised the peachwood sword, and aimed at the zombie’s heart, driving the sword down.
The peachwood sword was a powerful artifact that Uncle Nine had refined over many years, possessing supernatural properties that could vanquish evil spirits.
*Thud!*
The zombie’s tough body couldn’t resist the peachwood sword’s power.
Su Ziqiu easily pierced its heart.
“Roar!!”
The zombie let out a pained roar, and its entire body ignited in flames, burning rapidly.
Startled, Su Ziqiu quickly withdrew the sword and stepped back.
Fang Ye calmly kicked the zombie into the pit they had dug, allowing it to burn there.
Before long.
Su Ziqiu’s mind was filled with the sound of a mission notification…
“Fang Ye, I got the notification!” Su Ziqiu said excitedly. “I’ve completed the zombie-killing mission and can leave the Forbidden Land at any time.”
Fang Ye smiled. “You’ve only killed one zombie. Why leave now? Kill more, and you’ll get a higher mission rating!”
“Right!” Su Ziqiu nodded enthusiastically, her eyes full of admiration for Fang Ye.
Both were in high spirits.
Reaching this point meant that their plan was already more than halfway to success!!
