chapter 5

I pinched my fingertips, and the Power of Linguistic Sorcery within me had only recovered to 50%.

I’d need at least a night’s sleep to get back to full strength by tomorrow. For now, I couldn’t afford to clash with the Team.

After all, they had fifteen Ability Users.

I had to endure! I’d keep a low profile and follow them to Base A before making any moves.

After all, that was the official Base of Xia Country in this world. There would surely be opportunities suited for me there-I am, after all, a dignified Linguistic Sorcerer.

At night, I avoided the night watch and went downstairs to use the bathroom.

A heavy scent of blood greeted me.

The city, once full of neon lights and nightlife, was now pitch black and ruined.

On a tree by the roadside, someone from the Team had hung a camping lamp.

Not far away, a Zombie staggered toward me.

The Zombie had caught the scent of a living person. It let out a guttural “hehe” and lunged at me.

I watched with interest.

This was my first time seeing a Zombie-after all, there were no such things in my world.

With no one around, I fixed my gaze on the Zombie and softly uttered a word: “Die.”

Immediately, the Zombie collapsed, its head bursting open, leaving only a shiny object lying in the gore.

The Power of Linguistic Sorcery works on Zombies-excellent!

I walked over and picked up the Crystal Core, feeling my Spiritual Power surge violently inside me, revealing a sense of longing.

Could it be that the Crystal Core is beneficial to my Power of Linguistic Sorcery?

I hesitated for a moment, then followed the method Ability Users used to absorb Crystal Cores from memory, draining the energy from it completely.

To my surprise, my Spiritual Domain had expanded.

If it had been a pond before, now it was a lake.

Just as I finished boosting my strength, an angry male voice sounded behind me: “Chen Hua, sneaking around in the middle of the night-are you planning to slip away, or are you trying to feed yourself to Zombies to get back at me?”

Huh? I was baffled.

Turning around, I saw it was the scumbag Shen Ye.
