Chapter 416: Corpse King
I dared to come to the crowd of moon-worshipping corpses, their bodies shaking, the moonlight shining on them, every bone seemed to be bathed in the energy of the moon.
At this moment, the moonlight is so bright, but it is full of a rich and gloomy atmosphere, which makes people get goosebumps all over their bodies.
I walked over to a few of the walking corpses and could smell the strong putrid stench they were emanating.
I pinched my nose and asked, "Silver Fox Sect Master, what should I do next?" ”
The silver fox monk said, "You have a knife, right?" ”
I pulled out the waist knife I carried from my waist, it was a well-made dagger, it was from the nest of the Xing'anling thief group, and I was never willing to use it.
The Silver Fox Monk said, "You grab a walking corpse and cut open its belly, and I'll take a look inside." ”
With a bitter face, I gritted my teeth and crept to the edge of the light, where I saw a rotting walking corpse swaying. I walked over from behind, grabbed it, easily brought it down, and dragged it to the side.
The walking corpse ignored me, but struggled to get back up and into the moonlight circle. I pressed my knee against it, aimed it at its stomach, stabbed it in, and with a stroke of my hand, the stomach was cut open, and the black and internal organs were already rotten, tangled like the fibers of a sack.
I was so smoked that I almost lost my breath, and the strong smell of corpses came, and I felt sick in my stomach, and cold sweat began to break out on my head.
The Silver Fox Lay took a breath: "That's not right. ”
Huang Xiaotian asked him, Silver Fox Sect Master, what are you looking for?
The Silver Fox monk said, "But all living corpses have absorbed the yin qi between heaven and earth. When the absorbed yin qi reaches a certain amount, the quantitative change causes a qualitative change, and the thick yin qi will turn into reality and become a ball, which is the corpse pill. ”
Huang Xiaotian immediately said: "It's similar to the Xuanqi Bead that we cultivated?" ”
"yes, that's it. In fact, corpses are also a type of elves. The silver fox monk said: "When I was still practicing red dust for the silver fox in my last life, I heard that there was an old fairy in the northeast who was worshipped by a master of evil arts, and it was the most peculiar corpse fairy. As the name suggests, it is to practice with a corpse, evolve into an elf, and then become an immortal after cultivating successfully. The highest level of corpse cultivation is called the corpse dissolving immortal, which is the real earth immortal, and there is an immortal fruit rank. ”
As a fragrant boy from the horse fairy, I know too well what the Xuanzhu is. After the animal becomes a essence, it will spontaneously cultivate a kind of ball that condenses its own energy, and what people cultivate is called divine consciousness, and what the goblin cultivates is the demon pill.
And what we're looking for now is this thing on the corpse, which is scientifically called the corpse pill.
I endured the stench and pulled out all the bits and pieces of the corpse's stomach with a knife, but the walking corpse was still moving, and its mouth was open and closed.
"It's strange," the Silver Fox Lay Man wondered, "Why is there no corpse pill?" ”
Huang Xiaotian said: "The corpse pill is very difficult to cultivate. It must be a corpse to be cultivated before it can appear, how can it be in the body of a random corpse. ”
The Silver Fox monk said, "Then why does this corpse move?" There is neither a corpse pill nor a puppet soul, how can it be moving? ”
He thought for a moment and said, "Little golden boy, you go over and catch another one." ”
My hands were covered in mud, dirty and smelly, and my dagger was stained with mucus, all of which were secretions from corpses. If you want to wash it clean, it is estimated that you will need at least ten bars of soap.
The Silver Fox Lay Man is really persistent: "Little Golden Boy, it's already like this, you go and catch another one to see." ”
"Okay, one sheep is to drive, two sheep are also released, and today I will be released." I stood up and walked back to the moonlight circle.
After a closer look outside the circle, the walking corpses were all standing together, and I wanted to find a lone one, so I made it quietly.
After observing a circle, I finally found that there was a walking corpse in the northeast corner, lonely. It looks like an old man, with a head that has almost rotted into a skeleton, wearing a Mao suit in the elderly, rotting into wisps of it.
I took a deep breath and walked slowly over to it, and was about to make a move, when suddenly the state of the walking corpses around me was a little different, as if they were extremely excited, jumping up and down. The same is true of this old man, who seems to have ADHD, jumping up and down for a while, and from side to side, making an indescribable sound from his mouth. Because of excessive decay, they no longer have throats and other sound-producing devices, and the sounds that come out now are all rotten flesh rubbing, disgusting batches, which make people's scalps tingle.
I thought that no matter what, I would first bring down this old man, and then hurry to find Li Blind and them.
I was about to start when the ground shook a little, like a small earthquake. The walking corpses became more and more excited, and they all looked ahead, as if something big was about to happen.
Huang Xiaotian and the Silver Fox Lay Monk spoke out at the same time: "It's not good! The yin qi is so heavy, hurry up! ”
I hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't look for the corpse pill?" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw that not far away from the group of corpses, the ground suddenly shook and cracked, and a coffin automatically broke out of the ground. It was a sarcophagus with strange patterns painted on it, and it looked very ancient. I was stunned to watch when the lid of the coffin suddenly opened, and a puff of black smoke came out of it.
The moonlight shone in the coffin, and the white light and black smoke fused together, indescribably enchanting.
At this moment, a hand reached out from the depths of the coffin and held it on the edge of the coffin, as if something was awakening inside, and let out a long sigh.
The group of corpses seemed to have been bewitched, and they rushed forward one by one. I was caught off guard, arched by the corpse that came up from behind, and rushed into the pile of corpses unsteadily.
I was so frightened that my scalp exploded, and I couldn't break free for a while, and I was carried by the corpses, and I walked all the way forward, getting closer and closer to the coffin.
Seeing that I was about to reach the coffin, I finally broke free, but I couldn't get out, and there were walking corpses behind me. I couldn't help it, there was a small tree next to me, so I climbed up the trunk.
The branches are very thin, and they can be broken with a slight pressure, and I lie on them carefully, even so, it is inevitable that the branches "squeak" and are on the verge of trembling.
At this time, an evil wind blew in the mountains, and another hand stretched out from the coffin, and put both hands on the edge of the coffin, and then the contents came out.
I peered through the cracks in the branches, staring intently.
I can't really define what it is, I have to describe it, like a big ball of yarn in the shape of a human. The whole body is covered with white hair, which grows when it sees the wind, and is entangled with each other, so that it is impossible to see what is wrapped inside.
The thing stood up slowly, about one meter six tall, and the exposed limbs could indicate that it was a person, and the rest of the place was wrapped in long white hairs from head to legs, which could not be seen.
In the moonlight, a huge night pearl gradually emerged from its body, turquoise and turquoise, as big as an egg, suspended in the air, floating in the moonlight.
The Silver Fox Lay man gasped: "Good girl, it's the Corpse King!" It's the corpses it controls! ”
"What do you mean?" I asked.
The Silver Fox monk said: "It is impossible for a single corpse to give birth to such a large bead, there is only one possibility. ”
Huang Xiaotian then said, "This bead should have been collectively conceived by all the corpses in this mountain. ”
My throat rattled.
The Silver Fox monk said: "No wonder I checked the corpse just now, and I didn't find any corpse pills. There is actually only one corpse pill of all the corpses, and it is in the hands of the corpse king. Their relationship now is a bit like an ant colony. ”
I asked him what he was talking about.
The Silver Fox monk said, "All the corpses on this mountain are actually a living entity. ”
I swallowed hard: "It's unbelievable." ”
The Silver Fox monk said: "I also think it's incredible, I have experienced the red dust for hundreds of years, and I have never heard of such a thing. It's really a long time to see, and there are new things every year. This corpse king resembles the queen ant in the ant colony, where their brains are located, and the walking corpses below are part of the periphery of this living body, resembling human skin and organs. ”
Huang Xiaotian said: "There is something you should pay attention to. ”
"What?" I asked.
Huang Xiaotian said: "If the Corpse King wants to practice, he must absorb the energy of celestial phenomena and geography, and it must also include the earthly qi of this mountain. And Wu Biaozi and this mountain can be fused together, then he must know the existence of the Corpse King, what is the relationship between the two of them? ”
I looked at the corpse king in the coffin not far away, which looked like a big ball of hair, and its white hair grew longer and longer, dancing with the wind.
A thought suddenly popped into my mind, and I said tremblingly: "I just thought of a hypothesis, could this corpse king be Wu Biaozi?" ”
Huang Xiaotian immediately said: "Impossible. I have found the hiding place of Wu Biaozi, in the hinterland of the mountains. Besides, the corpse king in front of him is not an ordinary corpse, it is estimated that he has been cultivating and evolving for hundreds of years. Hundreds of years ago, don't talk about Wu Biaozi, Wu Biaozi's grandfather was not born yet. ”
The Silver Fox Monk sighed: "I'm afraid that when we deal with Wu Biaozi in a while, this corpse king will bring a group of corpses to obstruct it, and then the problem will be really troublesome." ”
I hurriedly said: "It's too late for us to rush now, Sect Leader Huang, you immediately inform Hu Zhenzhen and let her take Li Blind and Neng Zhi into the hinterland of the mountain to find Wu Biaozi to stop him." Taking advantage of the fact that the group of corpses in front of them did not make a big move, they still had time. ”
Huang Xiaotian said "um": "Then I'll go, you two be careful, it's best not to act rashly." ”
As he spoke, his Yin God "swished" and left.
At this moment, the corpse pill suspended in mid-air suddenly seemed to notice something, and suddenly turned around, heading towards the direction where Huang Xiaotian had passed. The next moment, the Corpse King also slowly turned around and looked over.
