Chapter 7: Searching for the Corpse King
"The Corpse King has never been destroyed, he has always walked the world. Luo Xiu sat down by the fire, took out a piece of flatbread and took a bite of it.
"This is impossible, back then, the five powerful summoners worked hard to finally find the corpse king, and finally worked together to destroy it, this matter is known to all mankind. Lu Jiaying then took out a notebook, opened one of the pages, and then spread it out to Luo Xiu, which said The Corpse King has been destroyed.
"If the Corpse King has really been destroyed, then how did these living corpses come out?" Luo Xiu said with a smile after taking a look.
"It's... These living corpses are just remnants of sin. Lu Jiaying argued.
"First of all, there is no such thing as a remnant, if the Corpse King is really destroyed, then there will not be a living corpse in the world. Luo Xiu glanced at the book again, then pointed to one of the lines and said.
"The Corpse King, the first living corpse in the world, the root of the virus, the ancestor of the living corpse, the power of all living corpses comes from him alone. Luo Xiu read out the words.
"If the Corpse King is really eliminated, then all the living corpses in the world will lose all their mobility in an instant, and thus turn back into normal corpses, understand?" Luo Xiu looked at the two of them after finishing speaking.
Lu Jiaying and Chen Lianna looked thoughtful, and after half a sound, Lu Jiaying spoke.
"Maybe you're right, the Corpse King is still alive in the world, but where is he hiding? In order to exterminate the Corpse King, humans sent a large number of troops to sweep the corpse field, and all those powerful living corpses were killed by humans, and now the corpse field is just as you can see, except for leaving some remnants of sins, there are no very powerful living corpses?"
"Maybe everyone was wrong from the beginning, the Corpse King has never been in the corpse field. After Luo Xiu finished speaking, he took out an even older book from his backpack, the cover of the book was already worn, but the three big characters on it were vaguely visible, the seal record.
"According to the records of my ancestors, the corpse king is not quite the same as an ordinary living corpse, when my ancestor met him, he no longer has the characteristics of a living corpse, he acts like an ordinary person, his body and skin color are normal, if it weren't for the powerful living corpse aura left on his body, even the ancestors almost thought that he was a normal person. Luo Xiu opened a page of the book, the pages were already heavily yellowed, with the appearance of the corpse king painted on it, and there was a note.
The corpse king in the painting does not look like a living corpse, but rather a normal young man, his facial features are a little difficult to see due to the old paper, but he can still be seen to be a handsome man, wearing human clothes.
"This is the Corpse King?" Lu Jiaying and Chen Lianna poked their heads to see and said in disbelief.
"That's right, so it's very likely that everyone was wrong from the beginning, the corpse king is not in the corpse, maybe he lives somewhere else, maybe he lives in the human world, and even... Stay with humanity now. Luo Xiu closed the book and carefully put the book into the package.
Lu Jiaying and Chen Lianna felt a chill down their spines, a corpse king who survived by the side of humans, what a terrible thing it was.
"Of course, this is just my speculation. Luo Xiu saw that the two of them seemed to be frightened, so he pretended to be relaxed and said.
"If the Corpse King is really in human territory, where is he most likely to go?" Lu Jiaying swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at Luo Xiu and asked.
"Well, I think he should stay in the closest place to the corpse land, after all, there is no trace of living corpses anywhere else, and the corpse king himself does not seem to be able to leave the corpse field for too long, he can't get rid of this mysterious power of the corpse field, otherwise he will become a real corpse, but if he doesn't leave, in this corpse land, he is immortal. ”
Luo Xiu had already seen the information of the Corpse King when he came down the mountain, whether it was his ancestors or those humans, when he met the Corpse King, they were all in the corpse field or not far from the corpse field.
"So, which city is closest to the corpse land?" Lu Jiaying looked at Chen Lianna and asked in a somewhat stiff tone.
"That's where we are, Qingyang City. Chen Lianna's tone trembled a little and replied.
"It's really interesting. Luo Xiu looked at the two of them and smiled evilly.
......
"Hey, I'll say first, don't make trouble for us when you go into the city, we're only taking you to complete the mission. The three of them sat in another carriage and hurried in the direction of Qingyang City.
"Of course, how could I get you in trouble. What are you doing in Qingyang City?" Luo Xiu leaned back in his chair and asked.
"We're professional hunters, I'm a graduate of the Mage Academy, she's a graduate of the Swordsman Academy, and we're all in a group of corpse hunting now. Lu Jiaying explained.
"I see, no wonder you're here, it's here to complete your mission. ”
"Do you want to join us, with the help of our professional family, I think you should be able to find the Corpse King faster. Chen Lianna asked.
"Professional?" Luo Xiu looked at Lu Jiaying and said meaningfully.
"Was that an accident? Anyway, it's coming soon, you remember to listen to our command. Lu Jiaying hurriedly changed the topic, it was indeed a bit embarrassing to be successfully attacked by monsters.
"Okay, no problem. Luo Xiu replied briskly.
The three of them chatted all the way like this, and before they knew it, they finally arrived at their destination, and the coachman stopped the car and told the three that they had arrived in Qingyang City.
After Luo Xiu got out of the car, he stretched his waist, and then saw a huge city wall, the city wall was made of stone bricks one by one, and directly above the city gate, three golden characters were printed, Qingyang City.
"Wow, that's a tall wall. Luo Xiu looked at the city wall with straight eyes like a child entering the city for the first time.
"Qingyang City is the largest city in this area, and there are also various professional hunters in it, which is a city that many residents in the vicinity yearn for. After Lu Jiaying finished paying, she looked at Luo Xiu's demented look and said with a smile.
"Not bad, good, magnificent, well-deserved big city. Luo Xiu nodded.
"Let's go, let's go in, and then report to the barracks. Lu Jiaying took Chen Lianna's hand, and then walked towards the gate of Qingyang City, and Luo Xiu hurriedly followed them when he saw this.
There was a group of guards at the gate of Qingyang City, wearing silver-white armor and holding sophisticated weapons, and they were examining the people who entered the city one by one under the scorching sun.
"Hello, whether you are an outsider or a native of the city, please show your pass. When Luo Xiu and the three of them walked to the door, the two guards put down their spears and crossed in front of them, and then the non-commissioned officer in charge of the rank next to him came over and asked.
"The two of us are from our city, he is from another city, and he is a friend of ours. Lu Jiaying and Chen Lianna took out their passes, a small black leather notebook, and when they opened it, they were proof of identity.
"It turned out to be a person from the barracks, disrespectful and disrespectful, but even so, we still have to check on this little brother. The non-commissioned officer was in awe when he saw the identities of the two, but he still stopped Luo Xiu.
"Okay, what do you want to check?" Luo Xiu didn't expect that with the identity of Lu Jiaying and the two of them, it would be so troublesome to enter the city, it seems that the censorship here is not generally strict.
"I'm sorry. Where are you from?" the non-commissioned officer asked, opening his notebook.
"Far away in the depths of the mountains. Luo Xiu replied honestly.
"Uh... So what are you coming to this city for?" The non-commissioned officer almost fell, but then saw Luo Xiu's serious look, so he adjusted his state and continued to ask.
"In order to find the traces of the Corpse King. The two soldiers next to Luo Xiu stepped forward, took out some crystal balls and other props, and began to check on his body, and Luo Xiu also opened his hands to cooperate with them.
"Si Wang, are you a friend?" the non-commissioned officer continued.
"No, how could he be my friend, he is my enemy. Luo Xiu hurriedly denied it, joking, being friends with the Corpse King, I'm afraid it is not the enemy of all mankind.
"Oh, then you came into the city to take revenge? I'm sorry, we want to keep the peace in the city, and we can't let you go in and fight and kill. When the sergeant heard that this man was here for revenge, he immediately refused.
"If you don't catch him, maybe he's going to start a city slaughter plan soon. Seeing that the non-commissioned officer didn't let him in, Luo Xiu immediately said anxiously.
"Slaughter the city?!Who are you this enemy?" the non-commissioned officer was taken aback, this is a top priority, but he must ask it immediately.
"He's not a person, I said it, he's the Corpse King, legendary..."When Luo Xian wanted to continue, Lu Jiaying hurriedly came over and pulled her aside, and then Chen Lianna went over and whispered a few words in the non-commissioned officer's ear.
The non-commissioned officer nodded solemnly as he listened, and when he finally looked at Luo Xiu, there was a trace of pity in his eyes.
"Come on in, little brother. The non-commissioned officer motioned for Luo Xiu to let them go.
After Luo Xiu followed Lu Jiaying and Chen Lianna inside, he suddenly heard the non-commissioned officer sigh, and then said something. "What a pathetic man. ”
"What exactly did you tell him?" Luo Xiu felt that something was wrong.
"Oh, it's okay, just come in, why do you care about other people's eyes?" Lu Jiaying and Chen Lianna said with a smile.
"Hey, you guys make it clear, what's wrong?" Lu Jiaying pulled Chen Lianna and ran away quickly, and Luo Xiu hurriedly chased after him and asked.
