Chapter 243: Corpses, Trapped
Monks who are professional in raising corpses naturally have a way to transport zombies, and they really don't have the tools to stick an evil charm on the door of their heads, and it's still okay to pull them away. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
But...... The three of them are all monks, but the monks' skills are nothing, they can't use spiritual power, they can't draw talismans, they can't cast spells, and they don't even have props. It wasn't a difficult problem for the other monks, but it was a big trouble for them.
After comprehensive consideration, the three of them were reluctant to throw this zombie in the end. Not because of the slamming of the door, but because the quality of this zombie is quite good. Although the time is still short, and the combat effectiveness is not very strong, the foundation is very good, as long as it is sent to the Corpse Soul Palace, it will not take a few years to cultivate a quite useful zombie.
Since you have decided to take it away, you can't let it go. In the end, Tianyou thought of a way to deal with monsters in Qingyuan Mountain before, took some climbing ropes from the worry-free bag, and hung the zombie up. If you don't have the strength to do it on all sides, and the ropes around you hold your hands and feet in check, it will be very difficult to struggle. I don't dare to say it after a long time, and it will definitely not be able to solve it in one night on its own.
It was already dark when the zombie was subdued, and it took a lot of time to hang it from a tree, but strangely enough, the mass grave was much brighter now than before. The bright moon hanging high in the sky seemed to be pulled in some way, gathering the pale blue moonlight into a bunch and casting it all on the mass grave, making the whole area look unusually bright, but also dyeing all the surrounding scenery with a layer of dead silence and murderous blue.
This strange phenomenon made Tianyou and the three of them a little nervous, the difference was that Tianyou only subconsciously raised his vigilance, while Da Dahai and Zhao Gongming were already a little noisy.
"This moonlight ......" Zhao Gongming wanted to remind something, but he didn't know much, and he didn't know what to remind when he opened his mouth, so he instinctively felt weird.
Zhao Gongming felt it, and Tianyou's feeling was naturally more profound. Under his vision, puffs of black smoke were rising from the surrounding mass graves as the moonlight shone at this moment. The smoke was spreading at a breakneck pace, soon covering a large area around it. Fortunately, the black fog that spread out did not obscure the view, but only caused the surrounding temperature to drop strangely.
"Do you feel a little cold around you?" The guy Huge Hai finally realized that something was abnormal, but Tianyou and Zhao Gongming stopped talking. They were all on guard for their surroundings.
Seeing that the two of them didn't answer, Da Dahai suddenly touched Tianyou with his elbow. "My hairs are standing on end, aren't we ......?"
"I'm the one who raised it. ”
Zhao Gongming, who originally thought that Tianyou would not be moved, glanced at Tianyou in a little surprise. He actually wanted to persuade him a long time ago, but he felt that Tianyou would not leave, so he endured it until now. Unexpectedly, Da Dahai casually mentioned it, and Tianyou agreed.
Tianyou was originally very confident in this mission, not because of a misunderstanding of his own strength, but because the analysis and deduction of various information all showed that this place was not too dangerous. He had even thought about encountering ghosts and ghosts, but they were monks, even if they didn't know any spells, they couldn't do these dangerous things, and it was at least no problem to escape. What's more, he still has the Moon Shadow on him, and even if he risks exposing the Moon Shadow if necessary, he can at least protect them from this dangerous place.
However, it is clear that the situation has changed a little more than expected.
What's going on with the moonlight above his head Tianyou doesn't know, he has read a lot of books, but he hasn't reached the point of being omniscient and omnipotent. But he knew the black mist that was rapidly spreading beneath his feet. It's not smoke, in fact, they can't see it at all. These are Reiki, a single attribute aura that has undergone a change in attributes. And this kind of aura Tianyou had only seen in one place before, and that was the Corpse Soul Hall of Zixiao Palace—a place dedicated to raising ghosts and refining corpses.
However, even in the original Corpse Soul Palace, the black aura in it was less than one-tenth of that here, and at this moment, the black aura in this graveyard was still growing.
No matter where these auras came from, this was by no means an ordinary predicament that Tianyou could deal with, which was why Tianyou decisively agreed to retreat first.
Zhao Gongming and Panghai had long wanted to give up, such as today You nodded, of course, he started to act without saying a word. However, one of these two lectured on morality and the other had brains, so they still knew that they couldn't run away from the wilderness, but leaned together with Tianyou, and the three of them formed a zigzag shape to monitor the surrounding area, and then carefully retreated in the direction of the main road. The Mocking Wind hovers above them, and can swoop down to support the three of them if necessary.
The three people who were close to each other had already begun to retreat, and they didn't even plan to ask for the zombies that had just been hung from the tree, but the things in the graveyard seemed to sense the intentions of the three of them, and they actually began to act.
"Woo woo woo ......" was accompanied by a strange sound that I didn't know whether it was the wind or the cry, and a breeze blew around. The wind was not strong, but it was so cold that it seemed to freeze even the mind.
Zhao Gongming, who was the least courageous, couldn't help but start shivering, although he couldn't endure it, the sound of teeth fighting was already coming from his mouth. "Kick...... Kick...... Sky...... ......"
Tianyou knew that he was afraid, but he was not distracted at this time, so he didn't turn his head to look, but asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Gongming didn't answer, but just pounded him with the shoulder blades that were leaning together. Tianyou reluctantly turned his head to look at Zhao Gongming, but he couldn't take his eyes off this turn.
Not far away, no more than fifty paces, a coffin lid leaning on the dirt slope was slowly moving, and a large group of cyan aura gushed out from the originally closed wooden coffin, as if it was boiling.
Zhao Gongming, who was still moving in Tianyou's footsteps before, is now completely fixed in place. Although he was already a Ming monk, Zhao Gongming was just a pampered boy a few months ago, and now that this huge terror hit, he didn't turn around and ran away or was scared out, and he already had to thank the shocking education effect of the ghost village when he was in the initial entrance assessment. But even so, Zhao Gongming at this time has basically lost his ability to act. Not to mention fighting, it would be nice if he could run for his life on his own.
Compared with Zhao Gongming, the huge sea is much better. The stupid man's neural circuits are really thicker, and after noticing the abnormality here, he is just cautiously guarding this direction. Although the dog-legged knife borrowed from Tianyou in his hand was clutched tightly by him, his fighting spirit was still there.
The slowly sliding coffin lid slowly opened half of it with the sound of Zhao Gongming's drum-like heartbeat, and the tumbling smoke gradually calmed down, but nothing crawled out of it, and the mood of the three of them did not relax because of this, but became more nervous. Even Tianyou, who had always been calm, began to feel a little nervous.
The unknown is the most terrifying. All three of them now have the idea that "even if a monster comes out". At least you don't have to worry so much when you see it.
Just as the three of them were staring at the coffin intently, the mocking wind that had been circling in the sky suddenly let out a long roar.
Tianyou glanced up at Mock Wind, and then immediately turned his head to look behind him. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but it startles Tianyou when you look at it. I saw that the whole mass grave was really chaotic at this time. Countless mounds of earth were slowly gathering under the ground, and terrifying arms with only bones or flesh sticking out of the ground, and then peeling off the soft dirt on the surface, revealing terrifying heads that were the same as arms.
"This ...... This ...... What should I do?" Zhao Gongming had already said that he couldn't speak. There were at least a few thousand skeletons crawling out of the surrounding churning ground, and no matter how powerful these things were, that number alone was terrifying enough. What's more, there is a more ruthless one lying in the coffin at the back.
"God bless, shall we kill it?" Huge Hai reacted very directly at this time.
Tianyou looked around the situation, and as far as the eye could see, it was completely covered with corpses that had stood up again, and it was almost impossible to rush out. But in this situation, the tighter the time drags on, the more dangerous it is, and there is no time for Tianyou to think.
"Damn, fight. ”
Tianyou, who didn't have time to think too much, suddenly raised his sword and rushed towards the coffin. It's obviously impossible to get out of this situation now. The surrounding skeletons don't seem to have much lethality, but there are too many of them, and once they are entangled in them, the big boss hidden in the coffin behind them can come out and solve the three of them one by one. So, rushing out is obviously not the way to go.
Tianyou is smarter than ordinary people in that he rarely drills the tip of the horns, since he can't run out, then go the opposite way and go directly to push the boss. Now the surrounding bones have just gotten up, and they have not yet fully gathered together, and the big boss in the coffin opposite has no intention of coming out for the time being, indicating that the awakening process of this big boss has not yet been completed. As long as you take advantage of this opportunity to kill the boss first, the surrounding imps will not be a problem.
Ghosts are not as chaotic as the demon clan, and monsters of different species will have a scuffle when they meet accidentally, but the relationship between ghosts and subordinates is very clear, and unless they are manipulated, they will hardly see ghosts fighting ghosts.
This mass grave is so big, there must be an existence similar to the ghost king in it, who rules all the ghosts here. As long as this leader is killed, the other ghosts will be temporarily chaotic for a while, and that is a glimmer of life for them.
Time was pressing, and Tianyou didn't have time to discuss with them at all, so he only had time to remind him to "keep up" and rushed out first. Fortunately, Zhao Gongming and Da Dahai finally didn't freeze in place, and immediately followed after Tianyou ran up.
Most of the bones under the surrounding ground only burrowed out of the upper half of the body, but there were also shallow corpses that crawled out completely. Tianyou, who rushed to the front, didn't care whether it was a rotting corpse or a skeleton in the way, brandishing the Taiyi sword and rushing straight over with a posture of blocking my death. Under the powerful spiritual power of the Taiyi Sword, the ghosts that stood in the way were put down in pieces like cutting wheat. The originally dense group of corpses was brutally killed out of a safe corridor by Tianyou.
Zhao Gongming, who was already fighting with teeth and weak knees, saw that Tianyou was so violent, he actually regained a little strength, and his running speed gradually increased. It is no wonder that the army in the era of cold weapons greatly admires brave generals, and there is such a ruthless man who blocks and kills gods and Buddhas to take the lead in the charge, and the effect is definitely not ordinary fierceness, even the most timid soldiers will be inspired to move forward bravely at this time. And the enemy on the opposite side, seeing that the other side has such a fierce general, lost half of his courage before he could fight, and it was difficult to win later.
It's a pity that ghosts are all existences that have died once, and they don't care about dying again. Tianyou's bravery may be able to scare off ordinary armies, but it is completely ineffective against ghosts. Moreover, don't look at Tianyou at this time, sweeping the corpse group like Kai Wushuang, but in fact, he is forcibly improving his combat effectiveness at the cost of consuming a lot of physical energy. If they can't take over the leader in the coffin in a short time, the three of them will soon be drowned in a sea of corpses.
While he still has the strength, Tianyou rushes forward regardless of it, and the mocking wind will occasionally swoop down and use his body to forcibly knock away the corpses that stand in the way. Although only one or two can be solved at a time, it is better to give Tianyou a chance to breathe.
In this way, he stumbled all the way to the side of the coffin, and Tianyou didn't even look at it, and he swung his sword and cut it. He was clearly planning to split the coffin together. Anyway, the sharpness of the Aether Sword and the opening of the Golden Cracking Stone are not a problem, and a few more pieces of wood are not a problem at all.
However, at the moment when Tianyou's sword slashed down, the top of the coffin suddenly burst open a large hole with a click, and a white shadow flew out from the top of the coffin. Tianyou almost split the empty coffin in half with a half-snap, and the cracked pieces of wood flew apart like a torrential rain, and there was a crackling sound on the ground around it.
In fact, Tianyou had already discovered it when the black shadow jumped out, but unfortunately the power was already old at that time, and it couldn't be contained at all. After a sword split the empty coffin, Tianyou's gaze immediately turned to the direction where the white shadow flew away, and only then could he see the true face of the white shadow.
The white shadow was not a zombie or a skeleton, but a weak scholar in a white robe. Of course, he or it was no longer alive. Although the ghost dressed as a scholar was almost the same as a living person except that his face was too pale, under the divine gaze, the body of this thing was slightly rippling like water ripples. This is clearly not the way a living person should behave.
Zhao Gongming, who had been holding on, saw the white-faced scholar at this time, and unexpectedly stopped trembling. Although I can guess that this must be a ghost, this image is honestly not scary at all.
Although the scholar's face was pale, his lips were blue, and his eyes were as black as if he were wearing smoky makeup, his clothes and oaths were very neat, and he didn't look like he had the slightest deterrent at all.
If this goblin wants to be scary, it has to be hideous enough. The appearance is too high, and it can only be completely counterproductive to the ghost. Think about those unjust souls who died in a miserable state, although their strength is not good, as long as they stand in front of the window in the middle of the night, they may be able to scare a few to death. On the contrary, if it looks like someone else's dream lover, even if it suddenly appears in front of others, the first reaction of the person who sees it is probably not fear, right?
"Who are you, why do you want to harm people in this episode?" Zhao Gongming, who was no longer afraid, was no longer afraid, but instead loudly scolded the ghost head dressed as the scholar opposite.
Without waiting for the ghost on the other side to answer, Tianyou directly kicked Zhao Gongming on the heel. "You've read too many novels, haven't you?Chat with ghosts?" After speaking, without waiting for Zhao Gongming to get up, he had already rushed forward again with the Taiyi sword.
Just like the earth in the previous life, there are also many ghost stories in the Shenzhou Continent, and it may be because there is reality as a reference, such novels in the Shenzhou Continent are far more abundant than on the earth, so it is not surprising that Zhao Gongming has read them.
In these novels, there are often some sentient and righteous demons and ghosts, and they or they are often beautiful girl images, and in the end they either sacrifice themselves to achieve the protagonist, or help the protagonist all the time, and then live a happy life with the protagonist without shame.
In short, if you often read this kind of novel, you will unconsciously fantasize that you will also encounter such a beautiful demon and ghost, and then live a life without shame. And the second side effect of these novels is that they will subconsciously think that demons and ghosts are kind and cute.
If it was Providence sixteen years ago, I would probably have such an idea, because most of the cultural works on the earth are also like this. But after living in the Shenzhou Continent for sixteen years, he has been in contact with the most realistic world, so Tianyou is very clear. Real demons and ghosts, those are extremely bloody and brutal existences. They may show abnormal love for a certain human individual for some reason, but the perception of humans as a whole, demons and ghosts has never changed.
In the eyes of demons and demons, all human beings can be eaten.
So, usually, don't even think about being able to negotiate with demons and ghosts, because you don't go to communicate with the crayfish on the plate when you eat, do you?
