The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 604

Chapter 604: Chapter 604: Liora Gold—One Worth Four

"Something’s not right."

Uncle Hua suddenly said, "Just now, we couldn’t leave the village entrance, and those zombies also couldn’t get out, so the outside should still be safe."

"Only temporarily safe."

Scarlett Jennings said,

"Because the living corpses haven’t been fully refined yet, the corpse poison isn’t strong. Half-living corpses are like the villagers we just saw; during the day, they still appear as normal people and only turn into living corpses under specific circumstances.

In this case, if we let them out, as long as the country and the Mystical Sect cooperate well, they can quickly bring the situation under control."

As for what specific circumstances, it’s probably related to the daylight.

At night, the shadow energy is heavy, activating the corpse poison to turn them into living corpses, but during the day, the positive energy flourishes, allowing them to maintain their human form.

But judging by the reaction of those people just now, it seems they’re not far from becoming complete living corpses.

Because one standard for completely turning into a living corpse is when a human begins to crave the flesh of their kind.

When they start losing human rationality, they become complete living corpses.

And by then, the masterminds will definitely open the village barrier and let these living corpses out...

"We can’t just wait for the Mystical Sect to find something amiss and send someone over; that would be too late."

Scarlett Jennings said, "To stop the Myriad Corpses Formation, the best way is to find the mastermind behind it and deal with them first."

Stella Gibson obviously understood this point,

"But we’re trapped here ourselves, how can we find that person?"

Scarlett Jennings wasn’t clear about the specific array of the Myriad Corpses Formation, but it didn’t stop her from making bold assumptions,

"For a typical array, the practitioner is either at the center or at the edge of the array, they won’t be too far away."

To raise these living corpses, they would inevitably observe their changes nearby.

And to ensure the Undying Bone absorbs the filth from all the living corpses, no place is better than the center of the array.

Plus, the black mist appears directly within the barrier.

In conclusion, the mastermind should also be within the barrier and is very likely in the center of the village.

After listening to Scarlett Jennings’ analysis, Stella Gibson’s eyes lit up, and she almost immediately thought of a place,

"The house surrounded by those villagers just now!" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Right in the village center, with villagers "guarding" it, no place could be more suspicious.

"Besides this, we also need to set up another isolation array in the village to prevent them from suddenly removing the barrier and letting the half-living corpses out."

Even if they’re immature half-living corpses, releasing them would cause considerable trouble.

As long as we ensure the villagers remain within the barrier, we’ll only have to deal with the few hundred living corpses in the village.

Stella Gibson naturally understood this, but—

"There are only seven... six of us, setting up an array to isolate the entire village would take at least a week’s preparation."

Not to mention the massive amount of spiritual power a large-scale array would consume.

Even draining all six of us wouldn’t be enough.

"It would be great if Ashton Todd were here. He’s familiar with this area, and having one more person would mean one more helping hand."

Scarlett Jennings thought so too, not just for the extra help, but also because of another plan.

But thinking about it now is pointless.

"We can have Gregory Xander and the others set up an array in a house first and then lure the villagers inside."

This way, the spiritual power required would be much less.

They could manage it.

"That’s also a plan, but we need to meet up with Brother Jingze first."

Scarlett Jennings shook her head,

"Going out to find them could attract attention, just relay the message, and we’ll split into two groups and act simultaneously."
