Chapter 56: The Source of Life

Taolin Village:

The villagers scattered, making the situation in the village chaotic.

The corpse soldiers were attracted by the fleeing villagers, but they also divided their forces to pursue. There was not much of a crowd left in the formation, and there were naturally fewer zombies attacking here.

Wu Cheng, Bald Head, and Old Village Chief Qiao faced the corpse soldiers before, and they knew that these zombies were so powerful that they couldn't escape. At this moment, they pinned their hopes on Yuan Xing's spell, and the three of them stayed in the formation, desperately resisting the corpse soldiers.

The horse thief is extremely powerful, full of powerful slashes, although it cannot effectively destroy zombies, but it can knock them out.

In the blink of an eye, the zombies in the formation had been cleared.

"Yuan Xing, you can't save everyone! There are many disasters, and it is inevitable that one will be taken care of at the expense of the other. If you don't have this awareness, your hesitation will hurt more people! ”

Qi Yu is right. But it was impossible to let Yuan Xing leave Su Wuqian alone.

"I've told you the spell before, find someone to defend the battle for me! If the corpses attack again and I don't come back, you can activate the formation yourself! ”

"Hey!"

The fat man couldn't stop him, so he could only watch him run to the wooden house in the village.

……………………………………

The interior of the wooden house was dark, and when Su Wuqian lit the torch, the bright white fire light shone on his cheeks, highlighting his scarlet eyes, which was extremely terrifying.

"Miss Su...... Your eyes...... But the Scarlet Plague? The villagers asked uneasily.

"When has this been, and you still have the heart to care about this? Whether it's a disaster or a disease, it's not too late to worry about it when you get out alive! ”

The corpse soldier's sword slashed at the door of the house, and several villagers brought everything they could to use the house against the door and window.

There was a crackling sound above the eaves beams, and these zombies were really out of the ordinary. They trampled on the roof and fell straight from their heads.

"Fire Spell: Starlight Falls!"

Several fire runes burned into balls and fell around the hut, dispersing the corpses.

Yuan Xing rushed at great speed, smashed the wooden window with his bow, and crossed into the house. Seeing the corpse soldiers raising their knives to chase and slash the villagers, Su Wuqian waved torches in the corner, confronting the zombies in front of him.

The spells are fired, and the zombies are repelled by the spells. It's just that the corpse soldiers hiding behind the door want to sneak attack from behind while Yuan Xing is unprepared.

Wang Yuanxing took a step back and subconsciously reached out to catch the zombie's wrist. The moment he touched the corpse, the long-lost suction reappeared, and the evil qi poured into the body, unstoppable. The zombie behind the door instantly transformed into an ordinary dried corpse.

The dampness under his nose and the expansion of his blood veins, Yuan Xing only felt a splitting headache. For a while, his feet were unstable, and his eyes were in a trance. He felt like he was in some kind of dream, and what was in front of him had changed to something else.

The sound of heartbeats of different rhythms came from all directions.

"Yuan Xing! Yuan Xing! What's wrong with you?!'

Su Wuqian's shout became rough and low in Yuan Xing's ears, as if it came from another time and space, distant and hazy.

……………………………………

The zombie army turned around again and marched towards the Seven Stars Chaos Circle.

The situation is critical, and Yuan Xing has not returned for a long time. Qi Yu is also anxious!

"Zombies are coming again! So, what are you waiting for? Seeing that no one was guarding the battle, the old village chief Qiao was anxious, so he actually went into battle in person. He followed Qi Gao's example, cut open his palm, and held a dagger in his hand.

The eyes of the last side of the outer formation were filled by bald heads. Qi Yu smiled bitterly, unexpectedly that in the end, he would join forces with his mortal enemy to fight the enemy.

He looked at the remnants of the villagers and knew what the responsibility was. Facing the corpse soldiers of the army pressing the realm, Qi Yu made a decision at the moment and silently recited the spell.

Seven high-flying mahogany daggers were inserted into the ground at the same time.

At this time, suddenly with a loud "boom", the earth shook. The seven people in the array suddenly felt their strength being sucked away, and they all exclaimed in surprise.

They were so weak that they were almost on their knees, the blood flowing from their hands flowing down the mahogany dagger into the carvings.

Old Man Qiao is old, and he can't stand the passage of the source of life at all, and the whole person is close to the ground with his face.

"This circle...... Sure enough, it was extraordinary......" Under exhaustion, it was not easy to get half a sentence out of Qi Qi's teeth.

The pattern of the formation shone brightly, and the circular border cracked in the vibration, as if it was about to be disconnected from the land in the village.

The cracks in the ground opened wider and wider, and streams of yin qi rose from the ground and soared into the sky.

The yin wind forms a whirlwind around the array, but because most of the eyes of the circle are activated by the bodies of civilians, it is difficult to form a powerful wind pillar in an instant, and it is not a barrier that can effectively block zombies.

No, the fastest zombies have crossed the cracks. Facing the brunt of the three outsiders, they naturally swarmed up.

"Hold on a little longer! Never let go! ”

Qi Yu warned loudly, and he used his severed finger hand to stabilize the peach wood magic weapon. In order to speed up the formation of the magic circle and promote the power of the yin wind, he swung the wind talisman in his right hand to make his true yuan come out.

Yin is controlled by yang, and yin and yang are combined. Qi Qi's spell went deep into the ground, dispelling the resentment gathered underground. It was like a yin wind from the underworld, which was unlocked by Qi Qi's spell and surging out.

The frantic air currents were at the fat man's feet, breaking through the loess and opening the surface. Nearby zombies were swept into the air.

The bald head is strong and wields the mace iron rod with one hand, smashing left and right, unmatched, these dead Beizhan sword and shield soldiers are helpless for a while, let him stay in the formation steadily! If it was placed two hundred years ago, with his strong ability, he could at least be a partial general who stood alone.

But Old Man Qiao was completely different, he was old and frail, kicking his legs on the ground, trying to kick the zombies out of the circle. Unexpectedly, his legs were grabbed by zombies instead.

The stratum cracked, and the zombie in front of Qiao You fell, but he still grabbed his legs and feet. Under the vigorous pull, he could no longer hold the peachwood dagger, and he was about to get rid of it in an instant.

At this moment, another arm reached out from the side and pressed steadily on the magic weapon. Qiao You saw that the person who came was Qi Hao, who was seriously injured and dying. Although the thin man was prostrate on the ground, he still provided the source of life for the circle in time.

In this way, Qiao You found that it was the same with him and without him, and no one cared about his life or death at all. Seeing that he was entangled by zombies, there was no hope of escape, and no one came to save him. I thought that if I couldn't survive, then let everyone be buried with me!

"To die...... Let's die together! ”

Old Village Chief Qiao raised his arm and grabbed the thin man's shoulders violently, trying to drag him into the ground together. Qi Hao was already powerless to struggle, and if a corner of the magic circle was missing, everyone would be killed. And the army of corpses is already close at hand, and within ten steps, they will all cross the circle.

Chang Sheng ran to Qi Hao's side, wanting to help him get out of Qiao You's pull.

"Daoist Qi!"

"Leave me alone! Grab the dagger! ”

The thin man used all his strength to shout at Chang Sheng, and then spat blood from his mouth.

Chang Sheng took over Qi Hao's position, and instantly felt his whole body lose his strength and staggered. He couldn't imagine how Qi Hao, who had been seriously injured so far, had just endured this kind of pressure.

"Afterlife...... I want to be a monk......"

Qi Hao smiled softly, he kicked his legs and feet hard, but he followed Qiao You's pull, pushing Qiao Lao into the pit. It seems to be announcing to this treacherous old man: If you want to die, I will accompany you!

Several terrible howls came from the ground, which was unbearable.

"Senior brother!!"

Qi Yu witnessed everything and cried weakly.

……………………………………

The wooden house was dilapidated, Su Wuqian carried Yuan Xing and rushed out with the villagers. However, the periphery is full of zombies, and they have no way to go.

Strange to say, in the face of these four or five survivors, the zombies did not attack them in groups, but only gathered here in confusion.

Looking at Su Wuqian again, there are bright white marks on their foreheads. It's the Stealth Spell.

Everyone was wounded, their blood was emanating, and it was only a matter of time before they were discovered, but as long as the corpse soldiers hesitated for a moment. Su Wuqian was able to find a gap and accelerate to gallop through.

"It's just this time to drop the chain!"

The girl in Tsing Yi really wanted to give Yuan Xing two big mouths at this time, so that he could sober up.

Their target was naturally the magic circle, but as they approached the magic circle, the corpse soldiers became denser and denser. It is not easy for the villagers to find a way out, but if they stop for a moment, they will be noticed by the nearby corpse soldiers.

The vigilant zombie, waving his sword into the air, actually hit something. The blade was bloody, and the screams were screaming. The wounded villagers immediately led to a commotion, and the corpse soldiers gathered around, presumably because of the bad luck.

Su Wuqian knew that she couldn't slow down, and she couldn't stop and wait in one place. The circle is right in front of them, and they must arrive before the corpses to keep the hordes out!

The villager who followed the two of them, seeing that his destination had arrived, ran desperately. The gap between the corpses was limited, and the villagers accelerated past Su Wuqian, and the swinging arm hit the woman, causing her center of gravity to be unstable and staggering to the ground in exclamation!

It's only three steps away! The curse mark disappeared, and at this time, Su Wuqian and Yuan Xing completely revealed their true bodies in front of the corpses.

From the cracks in the ground around the circle, the wind was getting stronger and stronger. Yuan Xing, who got up first, pushed Su Wuqian violently.

The woman hit the wind wall, was deflected by the whirlwind, and rose off the ground. It was as helpless as a fallen leaf caught in the wind belt, but fortunately, it finally rolled down into the formation.

The corpse soldier held his sword and shield and stabbed at Yuan Xing. The latter reflexively held the blade, but was still pressed against the wall of wind with strong force. The wind swirled like a blade, scraping the flesh of Yuan Xing's back like a blade.

The Seven Stars Chaotic Year Formation was fully opened at this time, and its strength reached its peak. The strata around the circle were all broken by the air current, and the rapidly circling wind pillars were like walls, like a barrier cutting off the distance between life and death.

The Yuan Xing, which fell into the wind layer and stirred up, was blown high into the sky by the wind of the underworld together with the zombies. The earth and rocks fell from the sky, and the people in the formation scattered with their heads in their hands.

As the earth and stone fell into the array, there were also Yuan Xing and several dried corpses that had changed their skin color.

The magic circle was formed, and the last pure land was finally preserved, and the corpse soldiers were blocked by the wind wall, and they could not invade the formation for the time being. Yuan Xing has done his best, but the villagers who are still alive are only a dozen people.

Some of the villagers who were guarding the inner array had already rolled their eyes and passed out. Yuan Xing immediately let people take over, even if it was to take turns to support, he must ensure that the power of the magic circle does not disperse.

The wind wall is colorless and allows you to see through the objects opposite. Everyone could see through the firelight that the zombies were gathered around the circle, and there was no intention of retreating.

"They can't get in, and we can't get out!" Wu Cheng sat cross-legged on the ground and asked out loud. "Zombies have been surrounding this place, how long can we keep it?"

"Dawn!" Yuan Xing looked up at the sky, "When the blood moon is in the sky, the evil qi is at its strongest. Only by waiting until the sun rises, when they weaken the vitality, will we have a glimmer of life. ”

As soon as the words came out, the corpse soldiers all around retreated, slowly revealing an emptiness. They are neatly arranged in the middle of the village, as if to welcome someone's arrival.

The direction of the peach grove was the first to change, and the peach trees withered into bare trees in an instant, the turf of the earth died, the fish turned their bellies, and the birds fell into the forest. The scene of the dead silence of all things continued from the peach forest to the village, until it appeared around the formation.

Yuan Xing leaned against the edge of the formation, witnessing death devouring everything.

A slender figure slowly stepped into Taolin Village. There is no shriveled figure, if the shoulders are shaved, the waist is like a plain. There is no sunken face, tenderness, and magnificence. The originally dark complexion also began to fade at this moment, and gradually became fair, but the eyes were still scarlet.

Su Wuqian, who was standing beside her, couldn't help but sigh: "The red-eyed zombie turned out to be such a big beauty......"

"No matter how much you look like a human, I'm afraid it won't be a human anymore...... Ever since I first encountered it, I've been thinking about how I can deal with it. What exactly is the limit of corpses? I do not know. But look at everything around it, all of them have fallen into the abyss of death, as if the source of life is constantly being sucked away. Just like the formation under our feet, powered by the source of life. Maybe the breakthrough is here......"
