Having recovered from his injuries and gathered his belongings, Xiao Mu began to explore the surrounding area.
As the closing time for the Infinite Valley was approaching, he did not dare to venture further in.
Luckily, he found an Energy Fruit Tree not far from the mouth of the valley just before the closing time, yielding an additional twenty energy fruits.
It was only when the closing time arrived, that Xiao Mu started heading out of the Infinite Valley.

"Who's there, lurking in shadows? Come out!"
Hao Sheng, sensing something, abruptly turned his head toward the outside of the valley.
He felt threatened, and anger flashed across his face.
Another powerful being has arrived. Could it be another nuisance from the Greenfin Clan?
"Hao Sheng, what an audacious display! Who gave you the guts to speak to this king in such a manner?"
A rigid tone, stammering speech.
Zombies in the Fifth Realm could finally speak, albeit not fluently.
With that said, a large-sized zombie wearing a crown and Emperor's Clothing, his body entirely black and gold, slowly walked into the valley from outside.
This king of the Fifth Realm Zombies no longer had rotting flesh. His body had undergone a mutation, appearing like a strange metal, giving off an impression of extreme toughness and power.
An intensely cold and fearful aura constantly emitted from him, exuding palpable evil. Even though one couldn't see it, they could feel its oppressive weight. Regular Mutated Beings within a certain range would immediately go mad.
"Wu King!"
Hao Sheng's pupils contracted. He recognized the identity of the newcomer.
This was a powerful character from the Zombie Clan's Wu family, a terrifying existence in the Fifth Realm. Despite them both being at the early stage of the Fifth Realm, this Zombie King's strength far exceeded his own.
"Wu King, what are you doing in the Human world, which belongs to my faction?"
His tone was subtly confrontational and at the same time, he was puzzled as to why Wu King would appear here.
"Whether this king appears anywhere, do I need your permission?"
Wu King coldly rebuked Hao Sheng, taking no heed of him.
Hao Sheng retorted sternly, "This is my Human world territory. Wu King, your sudden appearance here, could it be that you want to provoke a war between our clans?"
Wu King scoffed, "Empty threats. Do you think a war between the clans can be sparked so easily? Besides, what do you, Hao Sheng, count for in a war between clans?"
"You..."
Anger flashed across Hao Sheng's face.
"Angry? Haha!"
Wu King laughed loudly, his provocative intentions evident, "What about it? You lost to me before, dare to fight me again? Come on! Last time I only destroyed your treasure and let you escape. This time I want to take your life!"
Hao Sheng managed to calm down; his anger subsided. He had previously fought Wu King but was not his match and his treasures were all destroyed. Disgraced, he had to retreat. He steered the conversation in another direction, "Regardless Wu King, you must understand that this place belongs to me. Coming here and trying to intimidate us, do you really think there's no one here who can check you?"
As he spoke, he glanced towards Yang Lei, hinting at him with his eyes.
Yang Lei was a powerful mid-level Fifth Realm character, much stronger than Wu King.
Hao Sheng hoped that Yang Lei would intervene.
Yang Lei crossed his arms and sneered, ignoring Hao Sheng's signal.
"Oh, King Yang is here as well!"
Upon seeing Yang Lei, Wu King finally toned down his arrogance, "Well, in consideration of King Yang, I won't harp about things with you, Hao Sheng. As for my appearance here, it is simply to pick up my son."
"You're here to fetch your son? Has your son also entered the Infinite Valley?"
Hao Sheng was taken aback by this, "Wu King, are you mistaken? Your son should have exited through your Zombie's exit, how could he appear on the Human's side?"
"Heh heh!"
The smile on Wu King's face was chilling, exuding a strong aura of evil. The eerie look on his face alone was enough to scare a common person to death. He said coldly, "You humans killed my second son, Wu Yu. My eldest son, Wu Song, specifically came to block your Human world exit, intending to trap all human Mutated Beings inside the Infinite Valley."
"What?"
Hao Sheng was shocked and couldn't believe Wu King's words.
Even Yang Lei was taken aback by this, casting a surprised look at Wu King.
This news was simply too shocking, unbelievable.
One Mutated Being was planning to block the passage and trap all Human Mutated Beings inside the Infinite Valley?
How could this be possible? There weren't only a few Human Mutated Beings, there were dozens, including four top powerhouses.
How could Wu Song alone possibly block so many Human Mutated Beings?
"Wu King, are you joking?"
Hao Sheng simply didn't believe Wu King's words, "There are at least dozens of us Human Mutated Beings in the valley, including four top powerhouses. If your son Wu Song dares to block our way, he's simply seeking death. By now, he's probably been killed by Zhao Huaxian and our other top powerhouses, right?"
"Really?"
Wu King scornfully smiled, "My son Wu Song has absorbed three drops of Zombie King's True Blood. His power has already reached the peak of the Fourth Realm. He is unrivalled at his level. No matter how many Fourth Realm Mutated Beings team up, they will eventually be killed by him.
"How strong can your Human Mutated Beings be? Immortal? Capable of infinite rebirth? Haha!"
Wu King laughed loudly, full of satisfaction.
Seeing the discomfort of the Human powerhouses brought him joy.
The conflict between Zombies and Humans exceeded that of Zombies and Evil Ghosts. They were sworn enemies, always ready to attack the other at any opportunity.
"What? Wu Song has absorbed three drops of Zombie King's True Blood?"
