The enormous severed hand twitched behind them.
Chu Miao and Ye Xuan turned at the same time, while purple lightning immediately gathered around Ye Xuan's fingers.
Black lines moved beneath the hand's gray skin and gathered around one claw. A crown slowly appeared on its surface, followed by a short message written in fresh black blood.
I AM WAITING.
Chu Miao stared at the words before looking at Ye Xuan. "Do you think the Zombie King is inviting us to City K?"
"It does not seem like a friendly invitation."
"It didn't include a time."
"Perhaps it expects us to arrange our own transport."
Chu Miao glanced at the ruined eighth formation and replied, "It should not have destroyed the fastest route, then."
Ye Xuan's lips curved slightly before his expression became serious again. He stepped toward the hand, but Chu Miao caught his sleeve and warned, "Do not touch it. The creature carried more condensed death energy than the generals at Red Maple Base."
