Chapter 173: Collecting the Soul Box, the Corpse King is Out
In the face of hundreds of evil ghosts, Wang Mu adheres to the Taoist tenet, tries not to scatter them easily, everything has its own retribution, and fate has cause and effect, he is convinced of this.
took out the soul collection box given by the Heavy Demon Saint Monarch, but Wang Mu was still not sure, could this small box of more than an inch square really hold so many ghost things?
But seeing the reaction of those ghosts, Wang Mu suddenly had confidence in his heart. As soon as he came out of the box, those ghosts seemed to have seen something extremely terrifying, and they scattered and fled.
There was a small circular pattern on the soul box, and many strange runes were drawn on it, and at this time, the pattern seemed to sense something and began to slowly rotate.
Not only that, at the same time as the rune pattern turned, the entire secret room was shrouded in a strange force, and all the ghosts were originally hidden by an invisible barrier, and finally they were all included in the box without exception.
"It's a baby!" Wang Mu put away the box and nodded with satisfaction.
Lina was not as frightened and confused as ordinary people in the face of hundreds of ghosts, probably because she was already surprised, but being possessed just now made her a little weak at this time, and the extreme cold in the secret room made her unable to hold on.
Wang Mu still has a benevolent heart for ghosts, and he will not let a living person live or die. He walked over to Lina, gently sat her on the ground, and then poured true qi into her body.
But the resistance of true qi to this cold is also minimal, and now even Wang Mu only feels that the cold can't stand it.
"There's no way, I can only go and get the coffin fungus myself, I'll send you out first, I can't watch you lose your life here in vain."
With that, Wang Mu put the extremely weak Lina on his shoulders and walked out quickly. Strange to say, the distance from the sarcophagus is getting farther away, and the feeling of coldness is gradually fading.
Wang Mu put Lina on the stone bed where the corpse was lying before, and Lina was completely unconscious at this time.
After settling Lina, Wang Mu shook his body, and then rushed to the sarcophagus, trying to take it in one fell swoop, but when he was less than three feet away from the sarcophagus, the coffin lid slowly moved.
"Oops!" Wang Mu hurriedly stopped in mid-air and looked at the sarcophagus vigilantly.
"Boom-"
The lid of the sarcophagus, weighing more than a ton, fell to the ground, and the entire chamber echoed with a dull loud noise. There was a thick black gas in the coffin, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside.
Suddenly, something flew out of it, Wang Mu dodged it, and when he looked closely, he found that it was just a small snake with a pitch-black body.
Can a snake leap so far? Apparently it was thrown out! Wang Mu retreated backwards, for fear that the guy inside the coffin would suddenly come out and make a surprise attack.
Finally, there was movement in the coffin, and I saw countless small black snakes crawling out of it, and the number of them was not at all what that one sarcophagus could contain.
There were more and more snakes, and gradually the floor of the entire chamber was covered with a thick layer, and just listening to the hissing sound was enough to make people's scalps tingle.
There was no room for these creatures in the chamber, and the black snakes began to crawl into the stone chamber outside, turning black even the ground in their passes.
"It's not good, these guys are highly poisonous, Lina is in danger!"
Wang Mu realized this and hurriedly flew to the stone chamber to rescue Lina, only to find that thousands of black snakes were just swimming around the stone bed, but they did not harm her at all.
Although he didn't know why, since Wang Mu saw that Lina was fine, he simply flew back to the sarcophagus, preparing to take the coffin fungus and leave here immediately.
The black gas in the coffin has dissipated, and from above, the coffin turned out to be empty, and there was nothing inside!
"How so?"
Wang Mu hurriedly fell to him, carefully looked inside the sarcophagus, and found nothing except a wooden plaque.
The wooden plaque is engraved with a few words: "Curse of immortality, only my corpse king." "Other than that, there's nothing else to see on the wooden sign.
"It's the curse of immortality again!" Wang Mu angrily smashed the wooden plaque on the ground, but then he stared at the wooden plaque again and muttered, "Could it be that this wooden plaque was written by the Corpse King?" That is to say, the corpse king has a mind and has lived in this sarcophagus beforehand. ”
Since he had been in this sarcophagus before, where had he gone now, there was no other way out of this chamber unless he had gone underground!
"Underground?" An electric current passed through Wang Mu's brain, he gently tapped the bottom of the coffin, and then smiled knowingly: "Sure enough, it's empty, I'm so witty!" ”
Wang Mu broke the bottom of the coffin with a punch, and a swarthy cave appeared below, and from inside came a snoring sound, as if some kind of beast was gasping heavily.
The underground situation was unknown, and Wang Mu did not dare to enter rashly, he sent out a bolt of lightning to illuminate the light, but he did not find the slightest.
"Are you looking for me?" A voice behind him said faintly.
Wang Mu turned his head suddenly, and there were only two big green eyes in front of him, he suddenly stepped back a few meters, and said secretly: "It's such a fast speed, I didn't even notice it at all." ”
It was no one else in front of him, it was the corpse king Wang Mu was looking for on this trip, and I saw that this corpse king was wearing a Taoist robe, his clothes were not damaged in the slightest, and his face was no different from ordinary people except for some dehydrated dry folds.
"Daoist, Corpse King." A bold guess suddenly appeared in Wang Mu's mind: "That corpse king is Zhang Ling!" ”
"I know what you're thinking, that's right, I'm Zhang Ling!" The Corpse King said slowly, his voice was a little hoarse, making it a little uncomfortable to listen to.
Wang Mu said coldly: "I can't imagine that you are an evil way, and you have refined yourself into a corpse king by refining corpses all your life." ”
These words were full of ridicule, but in the ears of the Corpse King, it seemed like an incomparable compliment, and he actually said proudly: "This is the supreme realm of corpse refining!" The blood of nine hundred and ninety-nine pure yin bodies finally turned me into a corpse king, and this is what I have been pursuing all my life. ”
This is probably the so-called madness, Wang Mu thought, and couldn't help but send out a ball of light, which was exactly the move he had used to deal with those Vajra corpses before.
But this move obviously didn't work for the Corpse King, and he didn't even dodge, allowing the attacks to hit his body one after another.
"How can my pure yin body be broken by your tricks, but seeing that you have good talents, refining you into a corpse is also a good choice, how about it?" The Corpse King said mockingly.
Wang Mu was not angered by him, but said lightly: "You want me to be a walking corpse, unless you kill me!" ”
When the corpse king heard this, he said in a dark voice: "Since this is the case, then I have no choice but to kill you to refine the corpse!" ”
