Tang Shaoyang was hiding behind a large tree with thick bushes around the tree. He peeked through the tree and saw a group of five beastmen searching around.

"It seemed my attack alarmed them, now they are looking for me,

" he informed his group as he pointed toward the group of beastmen to let them see.

Yu Shun, Zhang Mengyao, Li Na, Dai Wenqian, Fu Dandan, Liang Suyin, Shi Niu, and Zeng Dongmei raised their heads to see the ones called beastmen. After getting a clear look at the beastmen, they got down again to hide.

Tang Shaoyang looked toward Yu Shun,

"Are you sure, you want to join the fight? You may lose your zombies' underling,

" three zombies were stage-3 and one stage-4 while the enemies were stage-4 beastmen. He might lose the zombies he had nurtured so far.

"I will join the fight. I want to create a new zombie from the beastmen's body,

" Yu Shun nodded while telling them his main purpose to join the fight. He left his girlfriend in the safe zone for this.

Kang Xue and her family were there as well since stage-4 beastmen were dangerous for them.

"Okay, we will help you with that. What do you need? A corpse or alive beastmen?

" Tang Shaoyang asked the condition to turn them into zombies.

"Alive! I need them alive and it will be much better if you keep their bodies intact,

" the condition was hard to meet. Especially keeping the body intact. It was hard to fulfill the Dee Guard's skill.

"It will be hard, but we can try,

" Tang Shaoyang nodded and looked toward the others,

"We will set an ambush for them. Kill four of them and leave one alive for Yu Shun,

"

"Let's do that,

" Zhang Mengyao immediately agreed as they continued to discuss where they had to ambush the beastmen. They did not let greed take over them, prioritizing safety first.

Five minutes later, Tang Shaoyang leaned his back against the tree while keeping his ears sharp. He was sitting on the big branch, waiting for the Dee Guard to come toward him. Ahead of him, his group was waiting for him to make a move before they continued with a follow-up attack.

A few moments later, he heard the steps that were getting closer to his direction. He signaled his group to get ready while he straightened his back to get ready to welcome the beastmen.

The group of five Dee Guards passed the tree where he was hiding without noticing him. When they passed slightly over a meter, Tang Shaoyang jumped off the tree.

The moment he landed on the ground, the five Dee Guards turned around. At this moment, Tang Shaoyang had activated Spirit Integration with Karan and his battle-ax was on the way to cut them.

Before the battle-ax could reach them, two firewalls rose, protecting them from the fatal attack. Their reaction was quick but Tang Shaoyang expected this.

Roar!

A lion-like roar resounded through his mouth and stunned the five Dee Guards.

War Cry activated, boosting your attribute by 30% for five minutes!

Right after the roar, Zhang Mengyao and the others came out of their hiding spot. They rushed toward the stunned beastmen. Tang Shaoyang also charged forward through the firewall.

He swung his battle-ax, sweeping three beastmen to the side. In the next second, his battle-ax cut through one beastmen's neck, killing it instantly. Putting aside the battle-ax, he twisted the last Dee Guard's arm to the back and slammed the beastmen down to the ground. While Tang Shaoyang held down the beastmen, he looked to the side.

Zhang Mengyao pierced through the Dee Guard plate armor, tearing the body apart. The other girls were working together with Buckler and Mace as the frontline, taking down the remaining two Dee Guards.

In less than a minute, they took the squad down with one remaining being alive. Yu Shun and his stage-4 zombie, Shredder walked toward Tang Shaoyang. The last beastmen was trying to break free from the grasp but it was futile as Tang Shaoyang pinned him down.

"What else do you need?

" Tang Shaoyang was surprised by how easy the fight was. He thought they would at least need a couple of minutes to take them down.

"Can take the helmet off, Boss? I need to turn the beastmen into a zombie first before I can cast my authority,

" Yu Shun requested.

Without any words, Tang Shaoyang pulled the helmet off with his free hand. Exposing the neck to the zombie. Shredder pulled the black hood that covered his face, a horrifying face, and ragged teeth came into the sight.

'No wonder he covered them up with the hood, his girlfriend will be terrified to see this kind of face,' Thought Tang Shaoyang.

Shredder squatted down and reached the beastmen's neck. The stage-4 zombie then bit the beastmen, ripping a chunk of meat off from the neck while the beastmen struggled hard to break free.

Tang Shaoyang made sure the Dee Guard was laying down on the ground. Not hard for him who had integrated with Karan. Soon, he noticed a big change in the beastmen. The white and black fur changed in color, it turned into a dull dark gray as the white antler darkened. Then he noticed the beastmen's teeth grow up until poked out of his mouth. Saliva began to flow out as the beastmen's struggle was getting harder. Slowly, the beastmen's eyes dimmed, losing the light of a living creature.

Yu Shun approached closer and directed his right hand toward the beastmen that had turned into a zombie.

Zombie Authority

After Yu Shun cast his skill, the zombie calmed down. Unsure what happened, Tang Shaoyang looked up,

"It's okay now, Boss,

" the young man nodded his head as Tang Shaoyang got up from the zombie.

The beastmen zombie stood up mechanically and it moved to the side of Yu Shun. The armor was still there, but everyone noticed that the armor was now merging with the flesh if one looked closely.

Curious, Tang Shaoyang asked out,

"How is it? Is it an amazing zombie?

"

—————————

Zombie - Keeper

Class: Undead Guardian

Evolution: Stage-4

Level: 1

Skill: Fire Spear Spitfire Fire Barrier

—————————

"Amazing!

" Yu Shun answered with a delight. Some skills changed but this was the first zombie with skill and class,

"Fantastic!

" He added while admiring the status screen.

Noticing the curious look of his Boss's expression, Yu Shun shared the status screen with the Boss. He did not mind sharing his zombie status while maintaining his status screen as a secret.

"What's so amazing about this?

" As someone who did not have control over the zombies, he found nothing special about this. Instead, the zombie's strength was reduced since the zombie returned to Level 1.

Yu Shun explained with a smile, telling that the other zombies did not have a class let alone skill. He was happy with the new zombie, now he needed some experiments to test how strong the zombie was.

"Are you sure you want to bring the new recruit?

" Tang Shaoyang asked the young man with uncertainty while looking at Keeper. It was strong before it turned into a zombie but now the level had returned to Level 1. It was no longer a strong beastmen but a weak zombie in his eyes.

"Keeper should work fine. I have three zombies to tank the beastmen and one zombie to assist the Keeper. Even though the zombie is level 1, it retains its stage-1, stage-2, and stage-3 attribute,

" Yu Shun assured his Boss.
