At this moment, the Cat King also began to burst with emotional turmoil.

He didn't really want to keep bickering with Chen Yi and the others, but seeing how they treated him as a dispensable existence, he grew completely furious, letting out a series of shrill, miserable screams.

"Where are you looking?"

At this time, the Arrogant Warrior once again fixed his gaze on Xiao Yang, who had averted his eyes, and threw another punch at him.

Xiao Yang quickly dodged and delivered a fierce counterattack.

With a heavy thud, this strike hit the Arrogant Warrior square in the chest. The fellow spat out blood and stumbled back several steps, completely caught off guard by the sheer force of Chen Yi's move.

It seemed this guy wasn't holding back; he had simply been waiting for the right opportunity.

"Heh."

After letting out a light chuckle, the Arrogant Warrior's expression turned excited.

This brat really had some tricks up his sleeve. It looked like he would lose his life if he didn't take things seriously.

With another cold glint in his eyes, he exchanged glances with the zombies around him. Urged on by his silent command, the horde surged forward.

"Boss, let us handle this!"

Kunpeng and Lu Kai dashed forward swiftly, but before they could even reach the creatures, the Winged Serpent swept its tail and blew them away with a shockwave.

Looking at the tardy Lu Kai and Kunpeng, the Winged Serpent simply laughed. "You two had better worry about yourselves. With me here, the boss will be completely fine."

Seeing how confident it was, Lu Kai chuckled, a trace of helplessness in his eyes.

"Don't act like you're the only one who can get things done. We can do it too!"

"Alright, stop dilly-dallying over there."

The Winged Serpent let out another furious roar and rapidly launched its attacks against the enemy.

Although the zombies were swift, they lost their advantage under the Winged Serpent's fierce assault, retreating step by step.

The Arrogant Warrior frowned deeply, utterly taken aback that this serpent possessed power surpassing ordinary creatures.

Damn it, to think he let them escape disaster!

Realizing the situation was turning unfavorable, the Arrogant Warrior blew his whistle once again, summoning even higher-tier zombies.

"We should make our move!"

Little Kunpeng transformed back into his original form, a sharp and fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

"Today, I'll make him taste the flavor of death, or else they'll keep underestimating us!"

Wriggling his massive body at high speed, Little Kunpeng unleashed his innate power to the fullest, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

"Good grief, this little thing became so powerful in the blink of an eye! We really underestimated him!"

"You said it!"

The others couldn't help but smile. It was precisely because Kunpeng's strength was continuously growing that he was no longer content with merely sheltering under Chen Yi and the others' wings.

Driven by his strong-willed ambition, Little Kunpeng had become this determined, and to everyone else, this was by no means a bad thing.

They could all tell that Little Kunpeng wanted to make a genuine contribution to the new squad, and as a result, everyone wore pleased expressions, their eyes remarkably calm.

Clenching his fists tightly and stomping the ground, Little Kunpeng spun at high speed, directly launching an entire row of high-tier zombies into the air.

One of the zombies, however, cleverly leaped onto his head, raising a dagger high to strike.

"Kunpeng, watch out!"

Chen Yaxi swiftly flew over, knocking the zombie away with a forceful collision, a trace of fury in her eyes. "How dare you try to hurt Little Kunpeng? You're truly courting death."

This display completely stunned everyone present.

When did the little girl's flying speed become so fast again?

Chu Yunxi, on the other hand, wore a relieved smile.

This girl's abilities had always been formidable; it was just that many people hadn't noticed.

Long ago, Chen Yaxi had been trying every possible way to enhance her capabilities because she felt that everyone else was progressing while she remained standing still—a feeling she found rather frustrating.

In fact, given Chen Yaxi's potential, she could have evolved much earlier, but her stagnation had a deeper reason.

After deep investigation, Chu Yunxi discovered this was related to Chen Yi's overprotection. Once Chen Yi's overprotection was lifted, this young girl would possess abilities capable of surpassing everyone.

Of course, this also had to be within the boundaries permitted by the young girl herself. Therefore, Chu Yunxi had discussed this matter with her for a long time, and the two of them had finally reached a decision.

Lu Kai and Hu Sandao immediately crowded around Chen Yaxi with expressions of disbelief. "Whoa, this is truly incredible! Not to flatter you, but your strength is simply terrifying. We are genuinely impressed!"

"Stop talking down to people like I'm a child; I'm already a grown-up."

Chen Yaxi immediately rolled up her sleeves and let out a soft huff. "With my level of strength, nobody is going to defeat me."

"Alright, stop showing off now."

Chu Yunxi patted her shoulder and pinched Yaxi's cheek.

"The situation is extremely dangerous right now. You should know how many enemies we are facing."

"I know, I know."

Chen Yaxi instantly became vigilant again, turning her gaze back toward the high-tier zombie.

The high-tier zombie's reaction speed was quite astonishing. Although its face was slashed open by a deep gash from Chen Yaxi's flying shuttle, its power remained undiminished as it lunged at her once more.

"Girl, watch out!"

Hu Sandao and Lu Kai rushed over simultaneously to assist from the flanks. However, despite using all their strength, the two of them were no match for the creature and were sent flying backward over a long distance.

Both of them looked somewhat startled, never expecting such ferocious power to exist within a zombie.

At that moment, the zombie twitched its head, cast its gaze back toward the crowd, and curled the corners of its mouth into a gloomy smile.

Such bizarre behavior made everyone certain there had to be a conspiracy behind all this; otherwise, a zombie could never display such human-like traits.

Sure enough, the zombie turned its head and walked forward with a sneer.

"I will not tolerate anyone surpassing us zombies! Our power must become the greatest in the entire world!"

"Keep dreaming!"

Lu Kai raised his little finger. "You want to become the greatest in the world? Utterly preposterous! Tell me, who on earth gave you the authority to spout such grandiose nonsense?"

The zombie did not reply, instead charging forward at blinding speed once again.

At that instant, everyone was dumbfounded.

This zombie was truly fighting with its life on the line!

Not only was its speed terrifying and its attacks vicious, but its objective was also far clearer than that of ordinary zombies!

"A Gu-poison zombie!"

Chen Yi, who had just kicked the Arrogant Warrior flying, stepped forward to stand before the group, his gaze resolute.

"I never expected to encounter this kind of zombie here."
