Chapter 179: Blood Red Crystal Nucleus
There is a trace of shade in the dark Yuanlu Tower, the candle flame is extinguished, and there is a vague fragrance of wax oil in the air, because there is no sunlight all year round, although the air here is not humid, but it also breeds local moss with tenacious vitality, such as carrying the passage of time and space, making this place more vicissitudes of life.
Suddenly, a straight light shone in, a light from a flashlight used for outdoor exploration, and it wasn't long before a head poked out from behind the wall, and then stepped forward, and the whole person entered the crypt chamber.
The second time she entered the crypt, Su Ziyan was extra cautious, afraid that there were other zombies hidden here, so she no longer relied solely on her eyes that could observe normally at night, and took out the flashlight she carried. Fortunately, I looked around with a flashlight and found no signs of zombies.
"Huh" breathed a sigh of relief, and Su Ziyan came to the body of Monk Dole with a flashlight.
The shriveled body of the blue-brown looks very ugly, as if a thin layer of skin is directly attached to the skeleton, and because there is no subcutaneous fat to wrap it, the veins of the bones all over the body appear to be particularly clear. At this moment, the state of practice that is still maintained at the time of death reveals a kind of Buddhist piety, but the body of Monk Dole at this time can be described as miserable.
Its body has been severely damaged, not only has its right arm been gnawed clean, but there are still wounds left on it after the bite, and most of its chest and neck are missing...... The bones inside, which had long since changed color, were revealed.
"Huh?" Su Ziyan frowned slightly, and her gaze fell on the face of Monk Dole, who also did not escape the catastrophe. This enlightened monk should have been a thin person before his death, and his facial bones appeared very slender, but at this moment, the skin of the face was turned over and fell off, revealing the mandible and half of the cheekbones, combined with the dull and strange color, giving people a very eerie feeling.
Then the gaze moved down, to its chest, and here it ...... Su Ziyan noticed a trace of abnormality, but seeing the position in the center of her chest, she keenly felt a hint of bulge, which was only the size of a fist, thinking that the crystal nucleus of the zombie existed here, Su Ziyan's eyes flashed with horror, "Could it be that the body of this Monk Dole has also completed the zombieization, and there is a 'thousand-year-old' crystal nucleus buried in it?" ”
Su Ziyan swallowed her saliva, she quickly thought of the two cyan zombies before, weren't they just attached to Monk Dole's flesh and gnawing?
Zombies have the habit of devouring the crystal nuclei of zombies of the same kind or inferior to themselves, so that they can absorb nutrients and promote their own better evolution; But in the same way, if they encounter a high-level zombie that is higher than themselves and has lost their mobility, they will also greedily want to devour it, just like the supreme throne of the emperor, any zombie wants to go up and sit down.
Could it be ...... Monk Dole's crystal nucleus is so advanced?
A surprise flashed in Su Ziyan's eyes, and she felt like she had dug up a treasure.
If you get this crystal nucleus, won't you make a lot of money?
Thinking beautifully in his heart, the corners of his mouth couldn't help revealing a shallow arc. And at this moment, a chill came, Su Ziyan suddenly stiffened all over, and felt that a gloomy gaze was looking at her, and suddenly her back was cold, and she was shocked by cold sweat, as if she was stared at by a poisonous snake, so that Su Ziyan did not dare to act rashly, for fear that as soon as she moved, the poisonous snake would attack her.
After a while, the chill gradually dissipated, and the sense of vigilance dissipated, Su Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she was no longer in danger.
"It's so dangerous, what was it just now, I was so scared that I couldn't even use the strength to move."
Su Ziyan gasped and reached out to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead.
The feeling just now really made her feel like she was falling into the underworld and dying at any time, and now that she thinks about it, she really has a feeling of palpitations.
"But in the end, I don't know why, it didn't mean to kill me......" muttering in her mouth, Su Ziyan quickly looked around, but didn't find anything strange. Finally, she turned her attention to Monk Dole, only to look up and realize that only a meter away from her, two scarlet eyes happened to meet her......
The scarlet eyes fell into the sockets of the black hole the size of a ping-pong ball, and with the broken head of Monk Dole, the whole thing was extremely terrifying.
This look scared her so much that she almost lost her soul.
"Ahh Su Ziyan screamed, and the whole person fell backwards, and sat on the ground not far away.
"Master Dole, please don't blame, don't blame!"
Su Ziyan is not a devout Buddhist, but at this time, she also folded her hands and kept kowtowing to Monk Dole.
"This Master Dole has really become a zombie, and he is still a high-level zombie with red eyes!" Su Ziyan cautiously looked at the "master" with her peripheral vision, and saw that although Monk Dole had scarlet eyes, he still maintained the curled state when he sat in the tank.
When I looked again, I saw that the master had closed his eyes.
"Huh!" Su Ziyan exclaimed in amazement, she knelt on her legs, moved carefully, and finally knelt on the thick futon, secretly looking at Monk Dole up close.
“……”
More than ten minutes passed like this, and there was no unusual reaction from Monk Dole. Su Ziyan no longer felt the aura of danger from it, on the contrary, it was a little peaceful, and I don't know if it was because she had been watching it for a long time and her nerves had become numb.
"Master? Master ......"
Su Ziyan called out quietly, but did not get any feedback from Monk Dole. It was as if at this moment, Monk Dole had completely left.
The sound of "snorting ......" came and was very piercing in the quiet crypt.
It was the sound of zombies moving slowly, and it seemed that there were other zombies preparing to enter the Tower of Death at this time.
In fact, there is nothing strange about this, for those zombies, Monk Dole is undoubtedly a "great lunch" in their eyes, how can they let go of such an opportunity?
Su Ziyan frowned and thought about it, and quickly realized the situation in the crypt, and after a short period of thought, she had already made a decision in her heart, so she bowed to Monk Dole, secretly said offended, and summoned a sharp ice sword with a snort, and aimed it at Monk Dole's head.
He then sliced open his chest with a swift movement, and took out a dark red wrapped mass from it, and then obtained a blood-red transparent crystal nucleus from inside it.
With the removal of the crystal nucleus, Su Ziyan saw that Monk Dole's body was rapidly ossifying and decaying, and after a while, it turned brownish-yellow, and then it was like a dusty equipment, rapidly decaying in the air...... Turned into a pile of dust.
……
Carefully storing the blood-red transparent crystal nucleus, the purpose of Su Ziyan's trip has been accomplished. After that, she rushed out of the Death Tower and launched a clean-up campaign against the zombies that intercepted in front of her, these zombies were all gray-white zombies that could not be graded, and occasionally some of the zombies turned into green corpses were also easily killed by Su Ziyan.
After a while, Su Ziyan left the Yuanshan Pagoda, and then ran through the entire Dole Zen Temple, heading towards the temple gate.
