"People with Venomous Blood Worms in their bodies will be controlled by the owner of the worms," Tina explained.
"Really? I see. It seems that all of the people in the Justice Town are under the control of the people from the Zheng Clan," Ricky murmured.
"I'm afraid the people from the so-called Zheng Clan are not human beings at all," Tina said. Ricky and others all turned to her in surprise.
"They are not human beings?!" Ricky and the others were all astonished. "If they are not human beings, what are they?"
"To be exact, the other people in this town are not human either. They are all called zombies. This is because Venomous Blood Worms can only be produced by zombies using their bodies."
"Zombies?" Ricky, Pearl, and Soar were further astonished by Tina's words. They certainly had heard about zombies, but they didn't think the people in the town looked like zombies. They didn't see any trace of zombies in the people in the town.
"Tina, are you sure they are all zombies?" Ricky asked in disbelief.
"If I am right and these worms are Venomous Blood Worms, then the people from the Zheng Clan must be real zombies while the others in the town are fake zombies. Once the Venomous Blood Worms are removed from their bodies, the fake zombies will turn back into normal humans," Tina explained.
"We have to kill those real zombies because all their power comes from human beings.
They seem to be feeding on the other people here. Zombies can also completely hide their zombie auras and disguise themselves as human warriors."
None of them breathed a word. They were listening intently even though what Tina was saying was unbelievable.
"Zombies also can cultivate. However, they can't absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth by themselves since they are already dead. The only way for them to absorb spiritual energy is through living humans."
"So they use Venomous Blood Worms to absorb spiritual energy from living humans?" Ricky asked.
"Yes. Zombies use their blood as food to nourish Venomous Blood Worms. If human beings eat these Venomous Blood Worms, they will be under the control of the zombies. Once human beings are controlled, the Venomous Blood Worms will absorb their blood essence and spiritual energy in their bodies, and then the worms will be absorbed by the zombies."
The earlier looks of disgust in their faces had been replaced by horror.
"I see. No wonder all those people are lower spiritual kings. But there is still something very strange. Those children are also spiritual kings. Is it possible that all the people here were born as innate spiritual kings?"
Ricky asked the group in general.
"Maybe. That's the only explanation," Soar said in a flat tone.
"If my guess is correct, the real zombies will move after it gets dark because the dark power in the void at night is more suitable for zombies," Tina added. Everyone tensed at the thought of active zombies.
"Then let me see how strong those so-called zombies are," Ricky said in a determined tone. He activated the Heaven Illuminating Fire to burn the pills and Venomous Blood Worms.
As night fell, the environment of the Justice Town changed. There was no more light power in the space. Instead, the dark power was densely spreading.
"So this is the environment for the zombies to live." Ricky looked around as he remained on alert for any lurking monsters.
It was so dark that he could hardly see in front of him. Nevertheless, divine energy still permeated the space.
Ricky readily stood up when he felt icy cold aura in their vicinity. As he expected, the warrior in cyan he had seen earlier in the daytime came with four middle-aged men.
At this point, it was unusually quiet in the town. All the people seemed to have disappeared.
