Chapter 173: Corpse Gu (4)

As Wu Ran's voice sounded, the sound of slapping came from the ten coffins erected in the grass.

The bronze bell in Wu Ran's hand shook unhurriedly, as if it was summoning. The sound of slapping from the coffin was getting faster and louder.

Suddenly, the lid of one of the coffins was torn open from the inside, and it fell to the grass in pieces, revealing a soldier wearing tattered armor and a rotten iron helmet inside, this soldier was eight feet tall, even after being dead for so many years, his muscle contraction caused his figure to be much thinner than before his death, but he was still a tiger's back, from this point of view, it is not difficult to imagine what a brave warrior he was on the battlefield when he was alive.

The soldier's face looked pale, but upon closer inspection, he saw that his face was covered with thin, dense white hairs that covered the skin so tightly that at first glance one might think that it was pale.

And not only on his face, but also on his whole body, his hands were covered with fine hair, and the backs of his hands that leaked out were also covered with hair, and the nails of his ten fingers became pitch black and grew an inch long.

Obviously, this soldier's corpse has become a qualified corpse leader.

With the appearance of this corpse, the lids of several other ebony coffins were also broken from the inside, revealing the corpses inside, all of whom were brave soldiers with tigers on their backs.

But—

Wu Ran's brows furrowed, there were a total of ten coffins in front of him, but only six corpses broke the coffins to reveal their faces, and four coffins did not move at all, the interior was quiet, and the things inside did not seem to have any intention of coming out.

"What's going on?" Wu Ran walked towards the four coffins, and when he reached one of the coffins, he raised his hand to put the lid on the coffin, and he didn't see how hard he worked, but he lifted the lid casually, and a foul smell came from the coffin. Only then did he see the situation inside the coffin, it turned out that the corpses of the soldiers in the coffin had long since rotted into a pile of dry bones, and the Gu worms in the parasitic brain naturally died.

Wu Ran opened the other three coffins one after another, and they were all the same as in this coffin, with only a few dry bones and tattered armor piled up in the coffin.

He pondered why this was the case, and inadvertently raised his hand to look around, and noticed that the ten coffins were in a strange position. The coffins of the six corpses that woke up were in the outer circle, and the four coffins that had decomposed were really in the middle.

Perhaps the nutrient essence in this area has been divided by the six corpses outside, and the four corpses in the middle have fallen into a disadvantage in the competition from the beginning because of their unfavorable position, and they can only grab a small amount of nutrient essence, which is destined to the growth rate of the corpses in the middle four coffins, not as fast as the six corpses in the outer circle, as time goes by, the gap is getting bigger and bigger, and in the end, maybe even the nutrients absorbed into the body are forcibly taken away by the six corpses that are strong in the outer circle.

In this way, it is not surprising that the four corpses in the middle have become four dry bones.

Wu Ran didn't waste too much time on the four failures, he turned around and walked out, standing on the edge of the empty grass again, the command was transmitted through the copper bell in his hand, and the six corpses came out obediently, but because their bodies were stiff and their joints were not flexible, they could not walk, sit and lie down like ordinary people, they could only stretch their arms straight forward and jump out.

The corpse is standing straight, lying is lying straight, unable to bend the knees, unable to bend the waist, and only the arms can be opened, simply waved twice, and the fingers with less muscle tissue can barely bend and move, and the other muscles are stiffened into hard lumps.

In fact, it is precisely because of the stiffness that they are invulnerable.

Wu Ran looked at the six corpses that jumped over and stood neatly, he walked up to one of them and said to it, "Everyone else came out for the first time, but you are the second time." You monster! ”

Naturally, the corpse leader he called a monster couldn't answer, and he laughed dryly, remembering the old incident when he took this monster out to go crazy a hundred years ago.

It was the Qing Dynasty at that time, and nearly two hundred years had passed since Wu Ran planted these ten coffins.

He desperately wanted to know how strong the corpse leader he had painstakingly created could be.

Finally, one day he couldn't help it, and with great excitement, he opened one of the coffins, revealing the corpse inside.

"Good guy!" Wu Ran couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the white-haired corpse in the coffin.

What the Dharma Protector wants to do, there is generally no need to report to the leader of the witch, especially for such a small thing as going out to go around, so he didn't tell anyone, but just took this corpse out of the small cave with great anticipation and came to human society.

The human society of the Qing Dynasty was not the human society it is now, and the cities at that time were not what they are now.

However, as one of the top ten cities in the Qing Dynasty, Jinguancheng was also very prosperous at that time.

After Wu Ran came out, he first walked around Jinguan City, originally thinking that he couldn't find a suitable cultivator here, so he went to other places to find a target.

It just so happened that at that time, he met three scattered cultivators passing through Jinguan City, and Wu Ran was overjoyed when he met them, which happened to be used by these three people to test the combat power of the corpse leader.

The three Sanxiu were originally eating in a restaurant, which was facing the street, and the three of them happened to be in the window position on the second floor. Halfway through the meal, the corpse jumped up from the street, slammed into the window, smashed the table with a thud, and swept towards one of the loose cultivators with a wave of his stiff arm.

The scattered cultivator was also quick-witted, and hurriedly leaned over to dodge the sweep. The corpse missed the blow, turned and jumped out of the window, jumping continuously on the roofs of the shops facing the street, and fled all the way out of the city.

The three scattered cultivators have also been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and they have seen a lot, and they have encountered a surprise attack at the moment, and they have not messed up, and they are shocked and leaned out of the window to look at the back of the corpse leader jumping on the roof.

The three of them looked at each other, retracted their bodies and looked at each other, and they all understood that the corpse was not an ordinary thing: "This thing must be evil, let it go, and it will definitely be a disaster to the world in the future." ”

Since this is the case, it is natural to catch up and kill them.

The three of them jumped out of the window without hesitation and chased after the corpse's back, Wu Ran, who was looking through the window in another restaurant, calmly watched the three of them chasing the corpse out of the city, raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it all, checked out and went downstairs, and then followed slowly.

He didn't think about killing people in the market, it would cause social unrest, so he asked the corpse leader to lure the three out of the city before he did it.

When Wu Ran arrived outside the city unhurriedly, he saw the corpse standing straight under a willow tree, motionless, and in the shade of the willow tree not far away, three corpses were lying indiscriminately.

"This kind of low-level monk is too easy for you. Wu Ran looked at the corpse with satisfaction.

He left Jinguan City with the corpse kui, ready to find one or two more real masters. As for the three corpses, just throw them there, anyway, when someone finds them, they will naturally take care of it.

Wu Ran had been in Shu for more than a month, but he still hadn't found a cultivator who satisfied him, and the corpse leader hadn't made another move since then.

When he was tired and planned to go back to Xiaodongtian, he passed through Jinguan City again, but at this moment, the city was already in chaos.

Wu Ran pretended to be an ordinary old man, and after dragging a few people to inquire, he found out that on the third day he left with the corpse, three blood-sucking and murderous monsters appeared in the city. Many people in the city were bitten and eaten by the three-headed monsters, and those who were not eaten became monsters like them.

Later, people discovered that just like the plague, as long as they were caught and bitten, they would be infected and become monsters like them.

"Could it be that the Nightmares from the north are here? Probably not, how dare those guys mess around the Little Cave Heaven?"

Wu Ran felt strange, and heard that there were officers and soldiers who surrounded dozens of monsters in a courtyard. He wanted to go over and take a look, so he asked for directions, and rushed over with a corpse covered in a black robe.

As he got closer, he heard the sound of a crowd calling for peace in front of him, and a hundred or so officers and soldiers holding spears in their right hands and torches in their left hands surrounded a civilian courtyard. There were also people who kept bringing firewood and foreign oil bottles and throwing them through the courtyard wall.

"Little brother, what is this for?" Wu Ran stopped an officer and soldier who was holding a few dry firewoods in his arms.

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't wait here!" the officer and soldier shouted and rushed to the courtyard wall, and threw the firewood high into it.

Wu Ran saw that everyone was busy and no one paid attention to him, so he jumped and stood on a nearby roof. He looked down at the courtyard wall that was enclosed, and saw that there were twenty or so 'people' covered in blood and tattered clothes, wandering around the courtyard aimlessly, often colliding with each other, but they didn't care at all, and the firewood and bottles containing foreign oil that flew over the courtyard wall kept falling on their heads, and they were unaware.

"Strange, what kind of monster is this? It looks like these are ordinary people. Wu Ran didn't understand that he himself was the initiator of this disaster, until the next moment, he saw three familiar faces in the crowd: "The three of them are also there?"

These three familiar faces are naturally the three loose cultivators who were killed by the corpse leader outside the city a few days ago.

And looking at the behavior of the three loose cultivators, there is a slight stiffness between them, which is quite similar to the behavior of the corpse leader.

Could it be?

Wu Ran looked down at the corpse standing straight on the side of the street, like a piece of wood. His brow furrowed slightly, he had expected this to happen.

"Maybe it's caused by the poison of the corpse. He made this inference.

At this time, the courtyard was full of messy firewood, and most of the foreign oil bottles thrown into it were also broken, and the foreign oil flowed all over the ground and was also stained on the firewood.

The officers and soldiers around the courtyard wall heard the order of the leader and threw the torches in their hands in unison.

With the help of foreign oil, a raging fire quickly broke out in the courtyard. The people who had been infected by the corpse poison and turned into monsters screamed in pain, running around the yard and turning around.

"They also know the pain. Wu Ran shook his head in disappointment, he looked at the monsters in the courtyard, this kind of half-finished corpse was useless in front of the first-class masters.

Just when those monsters were about to be burned to death, three figures suddenly jumped out of the sea of fire.

Although the faces of these three figures were dirty, and their bodies were also on fire and emitting black smoke, Wu Ran still recognized them the moment they rose up!

It's those three loose cultivators!
