CHAPTER 326: CHAPTER 242: THE BATTLE TO DEFEND THE CHOSEN ONE

After listening to Tang Sanzang’s series of inexplicable stories, Rosen felt a bit confused.

"Actually, I find that I don’t really want to know how you got stronger by going bald. Now I just want to tell you, that group of tomb raiders will soon come after you, and you’ll be in great danger. If you want to survive, come with us."

Rosen’s sincerity moved Tang Sanzang, who said, "I’ve heard of high-priced bodyguards, but I’ve never seen unpaid ones. Although they usually aren’t reliable, I don’t mind."

"Alright then, you can come with us, and we can offer you round-the-clock close protection with rest breaks," Meng Die said at this time.

"Close protection? Does that mean being close to me?" Tang Sanzang asked uncertainly.

Meng Die’s face turned red and she said, "It’s close protection, not being close."

"Oh, if you can protect me closely at all times, that’s quite good," Tang Sanzang replied.

Meng Die rolled her eyes upon hearing these words.

It was at this moment that Rosen suddenly caught the scent of zombies in the air.

To be precise, it was the smell of ’zongzi,’ because those in the ancient tombs were called ’zongzi.’

He immediately started salivating.

"Strange, it’s not even the Dragon Boat Festival yet, why are there so many ’zongzi’?"

Meng Die suddenly became hungry and restless.

Rosen quickly realized and shouted to Meng Die and the Barefoot Immortal, "No good, the tomb raiders have appeared!"

Sure enough, in no time, a group of tomb raiders appeared, leading a bunch of freshly-made ’zongzi,’ marching over in grand style.

The leader of the tomb raiders was a Corpse Nurturer from the current Zhang family, who was recently interviewed on a TV program, claiming to offer free ’zongzi’ during the Dragon Boat Festival.

When Rosen saw the number of ’zongzi’ he was leading, he confirmed the truth of these words, as there were over a hundred of them at a glance.

Meng Die was already drooling a ton, which could easily digest the ’zongzi.’

"Meng Die, conserve your saliva, otherwise you’ll be dehydrated and die when fighting the tomb raiders later," Rosen reminded her.

"Awoo!~"

"Awoo!~"

Just then, the crowd of ’zongzi’ on the other side started to dance wildly, forming a chaotic dance formation.

"The Zhang family’s Corpse Control Technique truly lives up to its name, they managed to instantly command the ’zongzi’ into formation!" Rosen gasped.

"Indeed, they even prepared this dish so quickly!" Meng Die licked her lips.

Rosen and the Barefoot Immortal looked at Meng Die with complicated expressions.

"Surely that person is the target we are looking for, the chosen one, right?" The tomb raider leader Zhang Dahai said.

"Yes, this is the chosen one you are after!" The Barefoot Immortal pointed at Tang Sanzang with his stinky foot.

Rosen and Meng Die immediately became nervous, "Barefoot, don’t do that, you’ll directly expose the chosen one!"

But the Barefoot Immortal righteously argued, "These tomb raiders won’t believe I’m innocent, so they’ll think I’m lying, hence they’ll believe Tang Sanzang isn’t the chosen one."

Unexpectedly, just as the Barefoot Immortal finished speaking, the tomb raider leader Zhang Dahai snorted coldly and said, "Do you think we’re children? How could this monk be the chosen one?!"

Then he pointed at the Barefoot Immortal and said, "You seem to be a righteous character, surely you must be the chosen one!"

"No, I’m not the chosen one, Tang Sanzang is!" The Barefoot Immortal said again.

However, the tomb raiders no longer believed it, they thought the Barefoot Immortal was just trying to cover up, and that he was indeed the chosen one.

"Chosen one, die!"

Zhang Dahai immediately wielded two Luoyang shovels, attacking the Barefoot Immortal.

The Barefoot Immortal took a step back, then calmly lifted his leg high, engaging in a fierce battle with the opponent’s Luoyang shovels.

It could be seen that the battle on the field had reached a white-hot stage, with both sides fighting tirelessly and drenched in sweat.

Although the Barefoot Immortal could use his smelly feet as a biological weapon to gain the upper hand, it was not so, as the tomb raiders had long been absorbing corpse gas in ancient tombs, making them highly resistant to foul smells.

Thus, under the constant counterattacks of the Barefoot Immortal’s high leg raises, Zhang Dahai did not fall behind. Moreover, he leveraged gravitational potential energy to his advantage.

The Barefoot Immortal had to block and counter at a high position with the Luoyang shovels’ swings, making each high leg raise meet standards, resulting in a large amount of kinetic energy transforming into gravitational potential energy.

This meant that his leg muscles were prone to fatigue, and not long after, the Barefoot Immortal, due to cramping, prematurely received his lunch.

"Everyone, I’m going to eat my boxed lunch to replenish energy, you guys hold the line for now!"

Watching the Barefoot Immortal enjoy his boxed lunch from the sidelines, Rosen suspected he engaged in battle early just to taste the fragrant boxed lunch.

"Wow, this boxed lunch has ham and eggs, right? Why does it smell so enticing?" Rosen’s mouth watered immediately.

"It must be because the eggs were beaten and quickly fried in oil till half-cooked, then mixed with hot-fried ham and diced carrots, followed by adding pre-chilled overnight rice. This situation makes it incredibly fragrant," Meng Die just sniffed the aroma and speculated the cooking method of this boxed lunch.

After all, she is a gourmet.
