"Ying..."
Zhang Chen felt Jexia's delicate body tremble slightly, and her lips instinctively tried to shy away, but still leaned in.
However... there was no skill involved. Rather than intimate, it was like a fight.
When Zhang Chen attacked, she attacked even more fiercely in return.
Since she didn't understand, she just mimicked whatever Zhang Chen did.
"Alright!"
Zhang Chen retreated two steps and they separated.
It had to be said, the lack of skill, in some situations, could also be considered a skill.
"Mmm... Thank you, True God, for the blessing of power! I feel like I can see even more clearly now!"
Jexia said excitedly, her cheeks flushed.
"That's entirely psychological. This ritual afterwards is completely useless... How could you see more clearly..."
Zhang Chen's expression was dark.
However, in Jexia's eyes, she had indeed received the full blessing of power.
As for why this ritual was so strange...
As the God of Lust, this was already quite restrained!
If she wanted greater power in the future, she would likely have to pay even more!
Zhang Chen, of course, was unaware of Jexia's thoughts, or he would have been furious.
"True God... we also wish to receive your blessings!"
The caravan guards walked up to Zhang Chen, lined up, knelt on one knee, and pleaded with devout expressions.
"Ah, this..."
Zhang Chen frowned. It seemed he had gone a bit too far.
Previously, the guards chosen by Emil were the most beautiful among the Elven kingdom, precisely so they could receive the favor and blessings of the True God.
To put it bluntly, it was a honey trap, and an open one at that.
These women not only had good combat talent but also top-tier beauty and figures.
Elven women were already more beautiful than ordinary human women. Those chosen from here were practically celestial beings.
"Then... alright..."
"But let me make it clear beforehand, this is for escorting the caravan. Given that there are reanimators here, the journey will definitely not be safe.
"The ability I'm giving you is so you can better eliminate the reanimators."
"If there are any other rituals in the future... especially at night, don't all clamor for them!"
"Even if I have infinite energy, my time is limited! Do you understand?!"
Zhang Chen needed to lay out his "dirty business" upfront.
If he spent a night playing cards with his little cats, and these people thought it was some kind of power-enhancing ritual and pestered him for equal favor...
Then his position as an evil god would be cemented, and history wouldn't need to be rewritten.
"We understand. We dare not hope for too much power from the True God. A little energy is already more than we could ask for!"
The caravan guards replied in unison.
"Then... lift your heads and close your eyes!"
Zhang Chen said helplessly.
"Yes!"
The guards then excitedly raised their heads, though they remained kneeling.
After all, their status was lower than Jexia's, and this was fitting.
Thus, the guards knelt on the ground, heads raised, eyes closed.
To save effort, Zhang Chen first gently stroked their eyes with his hands.
Then, he walked back to the front of the line, bent down, and tapped each one, like a chick pecking at rice.
It was truly magical; the elven soldiers' mouths had a special fruity aroma.
The scent differed from person to person.
It tasted like licking different flavored fruit candies, with a faint sweetness.
"Alright, you can now join the fight!"
Zhang Chen forced a smile, hoping no one else would come.
It was just that there were no outsiders here, only reanimators around.
If anyone else saw this, wouldn't he lose face?
"Yes, thank you, True God! Praise the True God!"
The elven female warriors suddenly stood up, feeling as if they were invincible.
"Charge!"
They bravely charged towards the reanimators.
The most terrifying aspect of the reanimators was the random location of their energy cores, making it impossible for their opponents to grasp their weaknesses or kill them easily.
Furthermore, the more tentacles they cut, the more they would grow and strengthen after thirty. They were truly a nightmare for survivors.
However, when the energy core locations within their bodies became clearly visible, they could be dealt with in one blow as long as one avoided their attacks.
The situation immediately reversed!
In a short while, the reanimators pouring onto the street were all killed by the three little cats and the caravan guards led by Jexia.
"Go and search to see if there are any other monsters nearby!"
Jexia looked up at the sky and said.
They had set out in the afternoon, and they had been fighting here for a long time.
It was now late afternoon, and traveling at night in the wilderness, where reanimators might be lurking, was not a wise choice.
So, she decided to rest here for the night.
"Yes!"
The guards, in groups of three, slowly explored the streets where the reanimators had appeared.
The three little cats also stood at a vantage point, overlooking the surrounding area.
If any team encountered a monster attack, they could come to their aid.
Half an hour later, a guard ran over in a hurry and reported to Jexia:
"Report, team leader, we have found the entrance to an underground shelter. There are large amounts of severed limbs and bloodstains inside."
"It seems to have been overrun by a new type of lost soul!"
Shortly after, another guard ran over and reported:
"Report, we have found a human female survivor. Should we kill her on the spot to prevent infection, or should we interrogate her?"
Jexia turned to look at Zhang Chen.
"Bring her over. I have some questions for her. Don't worry about infection. If this low-level virus infects you, you can come to me for treatment."
Zhang Chen said.
"Yes!"
Jexia and the guards were overjoyed upon hearing Zhang Chen's words, and they instinctively pursed their lips, their faces flushing.
"Hmm? Have these guys misunderstood something... why do their eyes look strange?"
Zhang Chen was utterly bewildered.
A moment later, a human woman was brought out.
She was dressed in fine clothes, clearly a noble or a wealthy person.
The woman's face was pale, her lips were also white, and she was trembling uncontrollably, clearly terrified.
"We found her in a storage closet. She is the only survivor."
The guard reported.
"Give her some water and food!"
Jexia said.
After drinking water and eating food, the woman's emotions gradually stabilized.
