Chapter 122: Yin Corpse Mountain
At the moment when the giant collapsed, the entire swamp returned to calm, and the rotten wood that had been floating on the surface of the water had disappeared at this time, and even the chaotic geisman spirits in the sky had calmed down.
After Hu Lin received the sleeping bastard into the beast bag, he found that it was not early, and in this swampy environment, it was very unwise to travel at night, so he decided to rest on this clearing for the night and continue tomorrow.
To be on the safe side, Hu Lin didn't put away the Tiger Shield Lizard Golems, but lit a bonfire outside them and baked the food he was carrying. Night has begun to fall, except for the temperature of the entire Wandering Soul Swamp, the scenery is still good, Yuan Jing and they are chatting and looking at the night scene.
The moon is not very round tonight, but together with the stars, the night sky is still very bright. The spirits, which looked a little scary during the day, were now like pieces of silver-white veil, constantly floating in the sky, and the hazy moonlight shining through their thin bodies had a different style.
Hu Lin stared at the bonfire in a daze, his mind constantly flashing the scene of today's battle. Although the crocodile giant is very powerful, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with it with his current cultivation. But in the process of fighting, he was a little blind, and the little bastard's attack was more direct and effective, and it seemed that voyeurism should be used more in battle.
Finding his shortcomings in battle, Hulin began to enjoy the night view of the swamp as well, until the smell of food became stronger, and the three men and one beast sat down together and began to eat.
After the meal, Hu Lin took out the map again, looked at it carefully, and said, "According to the speed of our march today, I am afraid it will take a lot of time to pass through the Spirit Swamp. Judging from the situation of the battle just now, those geists in the sky will not fly below fifteen meters, so I want to ......"
When the little fox heard this, he hurriedly said, "Does the young master want to drive the flying cloud board through this swamp?"
Hu Lin nodded and said, "Hmm...... If you go through it step by step, you will not only waste time but also encounter more dangers. Flying is probably the easiest and fastest way to move forward, we didn't know the attack range of these geismas in the sky before, but now that we know it, we can try it. I think as long as you maintain a flight altitude of seven or eight meters, you won't be attacked by them, and this altitude should also be a limit for monsters living underwater. ”
When Xiao Yao heard this, she pursed her mouth and said, "Isn't that because you can't see this novel creature like the crocodile giant?"
Yuan Jing took her into his arms and said, "If we fly slower and lower, we can still see the situation under the swamp...... Today's situation is terrifying, do you still want to experience it?" After listening to this, the little girl thought about it seriously, and finally agreed with Hu Lin's opinion.
The minor troubles in the team were stabilized, and Hu Lin continued, "If you fly over with the Flying Cloud Board, you will be able to get out of this swamp in about two days. However, what we have to pass below is Yin Corpse Mountain, an extremely wide mountain range, and it will probably take a lot of time to get around it. Xiao Yao...... The name of this mountain range sounds eerie, isn't there a story in it?"
After listening to Hu Lin's words, Yuan Jing and the little fox looked at Xiao Yao at the same time. Being watched by everyone like this, the little guy immediately began to be proud again, and raised his little head and said, "Yin Corpse Mountain does have a great origin, it has been standing on the Ghost Continent for an unknown number of years......"
The little guy began to talk endlessly about the origin of the Yin Corpse Mountain, and was frightened by her own story several times, and through her telling, Hu Lin and the others also learned a lot about the history of the Ghost Continent. It turned out that the Ghost Continent was the second continent discovered by the four major races in the Great Exploration Era, and when this continent was discovered, the Soul Clan liked this land, and some extremely knowledgeable Soul Clans migrated directly to the continent.
These first Soul Clans who migrated here inadvertently discovered the existence of the Netherworld Abyss, and the other three tribes who loved research came one after another to explore the Abyss with the Soul Clan. Until the appearance of the demons, this continent could be said to be the second home of the major races. The study of the Netherworld Abyss by various races has provided a lot of help to the progress of the world.
However, with the discovery of several other continents one after another, the demons have gradually appeared on the stage of history. They are a restless new race that stirs up trouble throughout the world, eventually triggering a worldwide war. The elves have always been pacifists, and they are not involved in this war. And the demon clan was bewitched by the demon clan to stand in the same camp, and fought with the human and soul clans. Unfortunately, for the first time in the world, the Ghost Continent became the main battlefield.
The armies of the demons and demons attacked the Ghost Continent, and the humans and the Soul Clan resisted, and the armies of the two sides finally converged in the Yin Corpse Mountains, and the final battle of this world war also began here. War is like a giant meat grinder, and once it is in motion, it creates a terrifying sea of corpses and blood. Originally, the Yin Corpse Mountain Range had a beautiful name, but it has been drowned in the long river of history by that war and has never been remembered again.
The demon alliance fought a two-year war with humans and souls in this mountain range, and they not only changed the landscape here, but also left behind the corpses of countless soldiers, and the mountain range has been known as the Yin Corpse ever since. Although it has been ruthlessly washed away by the years for n years, the clouds in the sky here have not dispersed, and finally it has become the only forbidden place on this ghost continent.
After listening to Xiao Yao's story, Hu Lin frowned and asked, "Isn't the biggest forbidden place on the Ghost Continent the Nether Abyss?
The little guy despised it slightly, and then said, "The Netherworld Abyss is a forbidden place for other races, but our soul clan regards it as a treasure land, and we can enter and exit freely......!
The little fox suddenly interjected, "Why, isn't it been many years since that war, and the damage suffered by the Yin Corpse Mountain Range should be ......restored."
Hearing this, Xiao Yao put on a small face and said, "Sister Mei'er...... Although it has been countless years since that war ended, the powers of several major races used many forbidden techniques to completely change the climate of the Yin Corpse Mountain Range, and the soul wind of the Netherworld Abyss was actually lured to the sky above the mountain range. The soldiers who died back then did not disappear with time, but survived in another form through the soul wind. ”
"Is it zombies? I've read about these strange creatures in books, but I didn't expect them to exist in the Ghost Continent......" Yuan Jing couldn't help but interject when she heard this.
"Yes, it's a zombie, an evil creature full of resentment!" Speaking of zombies, Xiao Yao's face clearly showed a look of disgust.
Hu Lin had also heard of this creature for the first time, but he was most concerned about the combat effectiveness of this thing, so he said, "Xiao Yao, does this kind of thing have any special abilities, and what kind of attack can be used to hurt them?"
The little girl glanced at Hu Lin with a rare look of appreciation, and said, "These evil things are transformed by corpses, and one of the most important characteristics is copper skin and iron bones, and some powerful beings are difficult to cut even divine weapons. In addition, the toxins on their bodies are the ones that should attract our attention the most, these toxins we call corpse poison, if they are poisoned by corpses and do not rescue them in time, I am afraid they will become one of them......"
"What a weird toxin, I really want to get some research......" The little fox couldn't help but interject when he heard that there was such a strange toxin.
Hu Lin tapped the door of its head and said, "I'll get some for you when the time comes, now listen to Xiao Yao talk about how to deal with them to have an effect......
Xiao Yao didn't think about it, and said, "The effect of using martial arts to deal with them is much worse, unless you can use extremely explosive moves to blow their heads out, otherwise you can't kill these guys! The effect of spells is much better, although zombies have copper skin and iron bones, but their natural defense against spells is not strong, and thunder and fire spells will do them the most damage, it seems that the trip to Yin Corpse Mountain may depend on Sister Jing......"
Yuan Jingzheng listened attentively, and when she heard Xiao Yao mention her, she hurriedly said, "Can't we fly over on the flying cloud board?" After speaking, she also made a disgusted expression, obviously not having a good impression of zombies.
Xiao Yao shook her head, made an apologetic expression, and said, "I also want to say that it's okay...... But because of the existence of the soul wind, flying in the sky is basically equivalent to suicide, and no one can withstand the baptism of the soul wind except for the power of the soul clan......"
Hu Lin clapped his hands and said, "Okay~ Let's take a good rest tonight, we can get through this swamp safely, and the Yin Corpse Mountain can't stop us from moving forward!" After speaking, he let everyone into the shield wall composed of tiger shield lizard puppets, and after all the staff entered, they sealed the top of their heads with puppets, and then slept with peace of mind.
Early the next morning, Hu Lin and the others stepped on the flying cloud board and turned on the flight rush mode, in order to prevent Xiao Yao, a restless factor, from causing trouble, Hu Lin took her to his side.
Flying into the air, they realized that this seemingly calm swamp was inhabited by all kinds of creatures beneath the water. In addition to the swamp crocodile, there are also strangely large monsters with earthworm shapes, which are constantly churning in the mud under the water's surface. Seeing these creatures, Hu Lin couldn't help but rejoice that he was lucky, except for the swamp crocodile, he didn't encounter any other powerful creatures yesterday.
Of course, there are many monsters that look like sea beasts, but their size is much smaller, and most of them live in groups, and their colorful bodies add a lot of beautiful colors to this swamp under the light of the early morning sun.
"It seems that flying is also a good choice, you can see so many cute swamp creatures!" Xiao Yao, who was sitting on Hu Lin's shoulder, kept twisting her big head, constantly looking for new creatures.
"Stinky rascal, fly a little to the left...... I saw a group of small heart-shaped fish, and it was really exciting to see the pink color on their bodies......"
Hu Lin didn't know how many times he had heard this voice, and in order to satisfy this girl, he had to change his direction often and fly as low as possible for the eldest lady to have a good look. In order to speed up the progress, Hu Lin gave her a video crystal to record the magical creatures she saw, but this was completely a cocoon decision, not only did they not speed up, but because of the little girl's video desire, they were delayed a lot of time.
Of course, it has not always been peaceful on this road, and the occasional large demon beast that comes out of the water still brings a lot of trouble to Hu Lin and them. This time, Yuan Jing took the initiative to ask to join the battle, which made Hu Lin's efficiency in cleaning up the demon beast a lot, and after more than ten battles, the cooperation between the two of them became more and more tacit, and it didn't take a few minutes to solve a demon beast that stood in the way.
The journey was much longer than Hulin had expected, and it took them three days to cross the Wandering Swamp, and the cloud-covered mountain finally came into view.
As Xiao Yao described, the twilight sun could not penetrate the clouds in the sky at all, although Hu Lin and the others were still some distance away from the mountain range, they could already feel the gloomy aura coming from the front.
Hu Lin shuddered and said, "It's getting late, I think it's better for us to enter the mountain tomorrow......"
I don't know if shivering is also contagious, Yuan Jing and the others couldn't help but shiver and nodded in agreement with his statement.
