Because I was standing high up, I saw a long bench next to that horned man, with a naked woman lying on it, seemingly asleep. It was the missing woman.
On her forehead, a horn was also growing, but in a different color from the man's — one gold, the other silver.
Aren't they the legendary Golden Horned King and Silver Horned King?
Chen Qinghan arrived, carrying a massive treasure sword, saw me crouching in the tree, surrounded by a group of Red Corpses, and wanted to come and help.
I quickly shouted to him, "Go fight the Golden Horned King! If he calls you, don't respond~"
Chen Qinghan responded, changed direction, and ran towards the horned man. As soon as he shook his horn, the Red Corpses attacked me, indicating he was the manipulator of the Red Corpses.
The rescued woman mentioned the virus and the Red Corpses but never spoke of this horned man.
Either she deliberately withheld the information, or the person only grew horns after she left.
