Xiao Mu smiled and said, "We specialize in killing zombies."

The little girl, Qin Wenruo, both surprised and excited asked, "I know where there are powerful zombies. Do you dare to go kill them?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu couldn't help but laugh. This little one was trying to provoke him into action. He wasn't going to fall for it. At least he didn't want to be led by the nose by her. He casually said, "Sure. Little girl, did you eat a stone?"

With that, he switched the topic.

"What...what are you up to?"

The little girl turned tense upon hearing this, looking at Xiao Mu warily, flustered, "I...I've already eaten the stone sword embryo. Unless you eat me, you can't get it."

Clearly, she was terrified, her body instinctively tensing up, yet she didn't dare to run.

She was well aware that all these three men were formidable, escape was impossible.

"We are people, not zombies or evil ghosts. How would we eat you?"

Seeing the little girl's frightened appearance, Xiao Mu showed a gentle smile, "I'm just checking. Don't be afraid!"

The little girl remained tense, fear evident on her face, as she instinctively recoiled.

"Don't be afraid!"

As Xiao Mu reassured her, he sent a thread of Dao Method Spiritual Energy into her body to examine the condition of the stone sword embryo.

Shortly thereafter, he released his hand and fell into deep thought.

The level of the stone sword embryo was far too high for the little girl to digest after consumption.

In fact, not only had it not been digested, but it had also fused with the girl.

What was this? A sword spirit?

Xiao Mu couldn't help but shake his head.

Normal magic treasures, besides those that have attained Dao on their own, have a hard time awakening spiritual perception.

Note that it is spiritual perception, not spirituality.

Spiritual perception refers to independent consciousness, which is a level far above spirituality.

With spiritual perception, it's almost a form of intelligent life.

Flying swords, ordinary flying swords, do not possess spiritual perception, only spirituality at most.

At this moment, the stone sword embryo having fused with the little girl, in a certain sense, seems to have acquired spiritual perception.

It's just that since the little girl and the stone sword embryo have not yet completely fused, combined with the fact that the sword embryo has not yet reached perfection, it cannot exert any power for the time being.

If it reaches perfection and completely fuses with the stone sword embryo, thus becoming a sword spirit, even if the girl is not as powerful as Qing Yan, Xiao Mu and the others would definitely not be able to stop her.

That said, if the little girl was that powerful, she wouldn't let the zombies continue causing chaos. This is a long-term process, and it would probably take a long time to complete.

"Is it important?"

Seeing Xiao Mu deep in thought, Zhao Yan couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"It's powerful!"

Xiao Mu responded seriously.

Zhao Yan was taken aback.

What she asked was whether the stone sword embryo that the girl had swallowed was important, but Xiao Mu's reply was about how strong the girl will be after she and the stone sword embryo fuse.

Zhao Yan noticed the difference and asked softly, "How so?"

Xiao Mu explained in a low voice.

Zhao Yan suggested, "In that case, we could try to kidnap her."

Her idea was simple and straightforward, since the little girl might become a strong entity in the future, why not take her away while she's still young and vulnerable? This way, they will have huge support in the future.

Xiao Mu remained silent for a while after hearing this, staring deeply at Zhao Yan.

He never thought Zhao Yan would be so decisive, making the decision on the spot. While he was still apprehensive about whether it was right to abduct the little girl, Zhao Yan had already made up her mind.

"We can give it a try!"

Xiao Mu replied softly.

"I'll do it!"

Zhao Yan declared.

"Little girl, do you know where the zombies are? We want to kill zombies, but we don't know the way. Would you be willing to lead us there?"

Turning her head, Zhao Yan revealed a friendly smile to the little girl.

"If I take you there, will you help me save someone...no, save a spirit? Most importantly, save my dad. Would that be okay?"

The words of the little girl, Qin Wenruo, were almost pleading.

Zhao Yan responded, "We'll do our best. As long as they are alive, we will help."

She didn't make an absolute promise, as she was worried that by the time they arrived, the Yin spirits might have already been consumed by the zombies.

For zombies, consuming Yin spirits enhances their power. It's unlikely that they would keep the Yin spirits alive without consuming them unless there was a greater purpose at stake.

"Thank you, big sister!"

The little girl, Qin Wenruo, thanked her happily. Her guard instantly dropped significantly.

"Little girl, stick with us. You'll sit with me and show us the way."

Having said that, she took little Qin Wenruo's hand and went back to the car.

They set off again. Wang Tong drove, Xiao Mu sat in the front passenger seat and Zhao Yan held Qin Wenruo in the back seat.

Not long after, Zhao Yan took out her cellphone, "Little girl, we still have a long way to go. How about big sister teaches you some games?"

The rule was that there was no child who did not love to play games, this was an ironclad law, no child could be an exception.

Born in the Ming Dynasty, Qin Wenruo clearly didn't know what a cellphone or mobile games were.

Zhao Yan downloaded some of the most popular children's games, taught Qin Wenruo how to play them, and took Xiao Mu's cellphone too, leading them to play together.

In no time, the little girl was lost in the games, unable to extricate herself.

"Big sister Yan, save me, save me, I'm going to die, I'm going to die."

Qin Wenruo panicked, crying out.

"Don't panic, I'm coming, I'm freezing him, turn around quick, use your skill, use your skill, counter-kill!"

...

The entire car was filled with the sound of games.

Without realizing it, more than an hour had passed.

"Ah! This game is so fun, sister Yan, let's play another round?"

The little girl, Qin Wenruo, was reluctant to stop.

"Sure."

As Zhao Yan started another round with Qin Wenruo she casually said, "At big sister's home, there are all sorts of gaming devices, even a PS4. It's much more exciting to play on than a cellphone. Wenruo, when you have time, come to sis's house and we can play together."

"I will definitely come."

Qin Wenruo was very intrigued but curious, "Sister Yan, what's a PS4?"

Zhao Yan said, "A PS4 is...the game is starting, I'll explain to you later."

...

Sitting in the front passenger seat, a strange smile surfaced on Xiao Mu's face. Zhao Yan's means of abducting the little girl were quite clever. In such a short time, the little girl had grown so familiar with her.

If it wasn't for her concern for her father, this little girl would probably have agreed to go home with Zhao Yan right away if she suggested it now.

Games are harmful indeed!

The car continued to drive on. A few hours later, they arrived at the dilapidated ruins.

It seemed like an ancient temple, but it had long been reduced to ruins.

After getting out of the car, Xiao Mu looked up at the sky above the ancient temple.

Negative energy was billowing in the sky above the ancient temple, clearly indicating the presence of powerful zombies. It was at least a third-grade evil zombie, and seemingly not just one.

Xiao Mu furrowed his brow.

"How is it?"

Zhao Yan got out of the back seat and asked Xiao Mu in a low voice.

Xiao Mu looked solemn, "There are third-grade evil zombies. It seems like there's more than one."
