Volume 2 Sand Sea Dragon's Lair Chapter 185 Fierce Battle on the Cliff
In Grandpa Poplar's notebook, there is also a description of "living corpse", which is a kind of evil method passed down from ancient times, and when someone is about to die, this evil method can be used to save part of their brain and fall into a deep sleep.
The muscles of the body are dehydrated and dried up, and then sealed in a coffin. A certain spice is placed inside the coffin to ensure that the remnants of the brain remain conscious.
Hundreds or even thousands of years later, if someone enters the tomb, the breath of the living can immediately reawaken the consciousness of the remnants of the brain of the living corpse.
But after all, it's just a residual consciousness, and the living corpse is the same as a zombie, and it doesn't know how to be frightened and afraid, and when it sees a living person, it will only blindly want to kill it.
The difference is that although the zombie is infinitely powerful, its body will be cut off by the same cut, but the live corpse is because its body is as dry as firewood, but it cannot be injured by slashing and axe.
But before Poplar thought it was just a legend.
After all, even Old Man Bai has never really met a living cadre, and he is just "supposed".
What's more, the human brain needs a blood supply, and if a person's whole body is already dry like firewood, how can he keep a part of his brain immortal? Even if it is an ancient evil law, it is impossible.
But I didn't expect to meet one in person today, and I heard Ding Lingling exclaim, and at the same time, there was a very strange fragrance in my nose, and Poplar was also stunned for a while.
The living corpse took this opportunity to stride out of the coffin and walk along the stone rock towards the three of them.
Although his walking movements are a little twisty, they are still much more natural than zombies and the living dead.
Not as straight and stiff as the living dead, nor as rampant as a zombie, its two dry eyes, as if it could still see things, actually stared straight at Poplar and the other three, and walked straight over.
"Boss Chu, shoot quickly!" Bai Yang suddenly blurted out.
Chu Changjiang was also frightened, and it wasn't until Bai Yang screamed that he trembled, nervously pulled the trigger, and shot at the living corpse.
The protruding stone rock would not exceed five meters, and the live corpse had already walked some distance in front of the three of them, so although Chu Changjiang didn't even aim with his heart with a few shots, the bullets shot still "poof, puff, puff" all of them got into the body of the live cadre.
But the corpse didn't seem to feel at all, but the slender frame was shaken a little by the impact of the bullet, and then it accelerated and rushed towards Baiyang and the others.
After all, it is just a dried corpse, and it is still quite different from a living person in its actions.
But that didn't affect its speed and agility at all, seeing that it was awkward and jumped twice in a row, it had already jumped over the stone rock, entered the stone cave, spread his hands, and first pounced on Chu Changjiang, who was still shooting at it.
Chu Changjiang was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated, and at the same time, Bai Yang held the sword in both hands, and slashed down from the side, just on the arm of the living corpse grabbing Chu Changjiang.
With a "pounce" sound, the sword seemed to be slashed on a thousand-year-old vine, and the poplar was shocked to the point that his palm was numb, but the arm of the living corpse was intact, and there was not even a single hole.
Poplar was shocked, Fang was about to put away his sword and cut again, but the living corpse suddenly turned around, a pair of shriveled and wrinkled eyes, seemed to glare at Poplar viciously, and the two hands that originally grabbed Chu Changjiang turned to grab Poplar's face door.
Poplar was horrified and had to fall down on his back.
At the same time, Ding Lingling screamed, and went up from the side of the living corpse, and stabbed several swords at the living corpse in a row.
But these swords also seemed to be pierced on the ancient vines, and they couldn't penetrate at all, they only cut through the clothes on the bodies of the living corpses.
In fact, the garment had been there for more than a thousand years, and it looked bright on the surface, but it was actually decaying, and as the living corpse stretched out its arms and feet, the garment had become ragged and scattered, revealing the same dry torso and limbs of the living cadre.
The living corpse didn't care about Ding Lingling's repeated stabs, but first raised a kick, kicked heavily at the poplar who fell to the ground, followed by a sharp rotation of his arms, and swept sideways towards Ding Lingling.
Poplar felt a sharp pain in his lower back, and one of his bodies was kicked out sideways, falling towards the cliff outside the stone cave.
Ding Lingling only blurted out in fright.
She has practiced close-quarters kung fu since she was a child, and her reaction is more agile than that of Poplar.
Because of this, she exclaimed, but one of her short bodies avoided the arms of the living corpse, and rolled to the edge of the cliff.
Looking down, seeing that Bai Yang's hands were clutching the edge of the cliff, and his whole body was hanging outside the cliff with the strength of a few fingers, Ding Lingling was ecstatic and hurriedly grabbed Bai Yang's wrist with both hands.
On the other side, Chu Changjiang emptied the bullet, but it still had no effect on the living corpse, but with a wave of his hand, the gun in Chu Changjiang's hand flew away, followed by the sharp claws of the living corpse, and caught Chu Changjiang in front of him.
Chu Changjiang hurriedly shrank in shock, and with a "bang" sound, the living corpse scratched Chu Changjiang's shoulder clothes with one claw, and at the same time, a few blood marks were scratched on his shoulder.
Fortunately, the grasp was not deep, so it did not get bloody.
Chu Changjiang didn't care if the shoulder headache hurt at that time, so he hurriedly reached out and grabbed the black sword that Bai Yang threw on the ground, and stabbed the jaw of the living corpse with a sword upward.
This sword stabbed so strangely that the corpse was caught off guard, and this stab was right.
The skin of the chin is thin, but the black sword is extremely sharp, and the tip of the sword drives straight in, piercing more than two inches into the jaw of the living corpse.
But the living corpse still didn't feel much, but he quickly stretched out his hand and grabbed the sword body, so that it could not continue to go deeper, and at the same time raised another kick and kicked Chu Changjiang.
Chu Changjiang was also kicked out horizontally, first hitting the stone wall in the cave with a "thud", and then falling down with a "bang", knocking down several gold and jade artifacts placed next to the cave wall.
Bai Yang borrowed the power of Ding Lingling's hands to pull violently, and quickly turned over to Shi Yan, seeing that Chu Yangtze River was in danger, Bai Yang immediately leaned up and hit the back of the living corpse.
The living corpse was defenseless, and the strength of the poplar was extraordinary, only knocking the corpse forward, pressing the two claws on the cave wall, and quickly turning around and pounced on the poplar.
With this skill, Poplar has already picked up the black sword with a short body.
But the black sword couldn't hurt the living corpse at all, and it couldn't even stop the living corpse from approaching.
Ding Lingling stepped forward to help, but firstly, the dual swords in her hands could not pose a threat to the living corpses, and secondly, the stone cave was not spacious enough, and several people had no room to move and turn at all.
Instead, as soon as the corpse was grabbed casually, Ding Lingling was forced to fall to the ground and roll.
Just as he couldn't resist it, he suddenly heard the eagle's chirping clearly, and Bai Yang suddenly thought that with the awe-inspiring divine power of the golden pupil condor, even if he couldn't destroy the live cadaver, it was enough to pose a great threat to the live cadaver.
Moreover, the Golden Pupil Condor can fly freely in the air, and no matter how great the ability to do corpses is, it will not be able to cause damage to the Golden Pupil Condor.
It's just that the stone cave is narrow, and the Golden Pupil Condor can't fly in, so he can only lead the live corpse to the stone rock before the Golden Pupil Condor can attack it.
Even so, he himself will be in a desperate situation, and he may be squeezed off the cliff by a live corpse at any time, but he may also be knocked off the live corpse.
His mind was spinning sharply, and he hurriedly shouted at Ding Lingling: "Lingling, you retreat with Boss Chu first, don't come over!"
"What do you want to do?"
Ding Lingling asked rhetorically, dodged the live corpse and grabbed it back.
Bai Yang didn't care to answer, and stabbed several times at the face of the living corpse with a black sword in his hand.
These swords are exquisitely changing, and if they are against a living person, the opponent can only retreat and dodge, and there is no way to crack it at all.
But the corpse of the living corpse just swept the cross arm, and the black sword was crooked.
It's just that the poplar stabbed too quickly, and there were still three swords stabbed in the face of the living corpse.
Two of the swords could not pierce the cheek muscles of the living corpse, but the third sword struck crookedly, just stabbing one of the eyeballs of the corpse.
Although the eyeball was also shriveled, it was still much more fragile than the rest of the body of the living corpse, and Poplar did not mean it, but between the return of his hand, the tip of the sword pierced the shriveled eyeball, and suddenly pulled out of the eye socket of the living corpse.
The back of the eyeball was also connected with dry nerve tissue, so that a shriveled eyeball quickly broke away from the tip of the sword and swung around the cheeks of the living corpse.
The living corpse really seems to have a little residual consciousness, although its dry body cannot show anger, but it obviously has anger.
The poplar black sword waved, but it didn't pay attention to it at all, just stretched out its two claws and grabbed directly at the poplar face door. It seems that he also wants to catch at least one eyeball of Poplar in one catch.
Poplar was about to provoke it completely, and immediately retreated when he saw this.
Ding Lingling, who was left behind the corpse, ignored Chu Changjiang and only chased after Bai Yang.
