Chapter 257: The Corpses
Wei Lai was standing on the stairs at this time, Gao Zhiying and the black shadow were at the bottom of the gourd temple, and before Wei Lai could go down, cracks suddenly appeared in the floor of the bottom floor, and the sound just now was caused by this crack.
Wei Lai's eyes contracted, realizing that the passage to the bottom was open, he didn't have any hesitation, and rushed directly down, but the entire gourd temple suddenly shook, as if it was about to collapse, shaking Wei Lai violently.
Wei Lai was shocked, seeing Gao Zhiying follow the black shadow into the passage, he didn't care about his own safety, he simply jumped down the stairs directly, and successfully jumped to the ground, before he could land, Wei Lai's eyes locked on the passage, and seeing Gao Zhiying completely enter it, Wei Lai's heart showed a worried look.
"Damn it." Wei Lai tried to call Gao Zhiying, but when he came to the passage, he found that Gao Zhiying had already lost his figure, and at this time, the gourd temple shook even more violently, and cracks appeared in the walls, obviously about to collapse.
Wei Lai didn't think about it, he went directly into the passage, there was no time for him to think about it now, if he didn't enter the passage, what was waiting for him was to be buried alive, even if there were many dangers under the passage, Wei Lai had no other choice.
When Wei Lai jumped into the passage, he was not hindered in any way, and came directly to the fourth layer below the Xuanyin Tower, Wei Lai maintained a high level of vigilance, for fear of being suddenly attacked.
Wei Lai tried to find Gao Zhiying, but he didn't get anything at all, and Gao Zhiying seemed to disappear out of thin air.
Wei Lai looked around, but this look startled him, the place in front of him was full of rotten aura, and the illusion of red lotus emerged from the ground, and there were many corpses on the ground, without any signs of decay, and there was plenty of dead air and the demonic aura of red lotus on it.
"This ...... These corpses are all dead monks. Wei Lai shuddered, his body fled backwards, and he wanted to escape back to it, but before he could move, there was a strange sound under his feet.
Suddenly, Wei Lai felt that his ankle was grabbed, and he hurriedly looked down, only to see that his body was also covered with corpses, and the corpses under his feet seemed to sense the breath on Wei Lai's body, and there was a strange tremor, as if he was waking up quickly.
Wei Lai looked at the whole area, there were corpses of evil monks everywhere, these corpses should have undergone special treatment, otherwise it would be impossible for all corpses to change, Wei Lai suddenly had a terrifying thought, these evil monks must have been cultists in their lifetimes, after being blocked by the Chiyang Tower, the evil monks in the Xuanyin Tower were trapped, and the leaders of the evil monks at that time were afraid that they had ulterior motives, persecuting or bewitching these pious evil monks, so that they were willing to die.
And after the death of these evil monks, through the special method of the leader, all these corpses after death have undergone corpse transformation, and these corpses are not ordinary methods, but through the red lotus mutation, at this time the red lotus illusion on the corpse is the best proof.
"Damn, I'm unlucky." Wei Lai felt that his ankle was grabbed, and he was almost half frightened to death, and directly kicked his foot, trying to shake the arm on his leg away.
However, the corpse under him was like iron pincers, grabbing his ankle to death, and not giving him a chance to escape at all.
That's not all, there are more corpses awakening, more and more hands grabbing Wei Lai's feet, and trying to pull Wei Lai down.
One, two, three......
Wei Lai's expression was pale, he was scared enough, if he stopped resisting at this time, it would be equivalent to waiting for death, Wei Lai would never sit still, he urged the soul fire on his body, and then waved the ancient sword in his hand and slashed towards the corpse under his feet.
The soul fire instantly spread all over the body, Wei Lai's entire body was suddenly full of anger, grabbing his feet and letting go of his palm, Wei Lai's face recovered a lot, the ancient sword in his hand was merciless, and after slashing towards the corpse, although the corpse was not cut off, the ancient sword played a role in warding off evil spirits, and successfully drove out many corpses.
Wei Lai was full of anger, the ancient sword emitted a misty black light, and then took out a large number of red talismans, Wei Lai directly poured soul fire without thinking, and scattered the red talismans around him.
With Wei Lai's efforts, Wei Lai's surroundings were vacated, and Wei Lai felt invisible pressure at this time, although he temporarily forced the corpses back, but as more corpses woke up, Wei Lai realized that the next thing to face was a greater danger.
There was an open space around the body, Wei Lai was safe for the time being, because the corpse did not wake up completely, even if he grabbed Wei Lai's corpse, he was just paralyzed on the ground, but as time went by, more and more corpses tried to get up, Wei Lai wanted to stop it, but he had more than enough strength to do it, because there were too many corpses, and he simply did not have a strong ability to deal with it.
Wei Lai's thinking turned very fast, and he came up with a lot of methods in an instant, but he was overthrown by himself, not that he didn't believe in his own ability, but that these mutated corpses were too weird, and they were not as simple as Wei Lai imagined, if they were ordinary rotting corpses or zombies, it would be fine, but these corpses had the breath of a red lotus, and they were controlled by the red lotus in the Xuanyin Tower, and there was a certain amount of thinking, and there was no way to deal with it at all.
As the corpses continued to wake up, Wei Lai finally saw the complete appearance, these corpses were just as Wei Lai expected, but the corpses of the evil monks had undergone abnormal changes, which must be related to the red lotus.
The corpses of many evil monks are particularly strange, although there is enough qi to die, but the main thing is the breath of red lotus, what makes Wei Lai feel even more strange is that these corpses actually have a difference, under Wei Lai's careful identification, it was found that there were rotting corpses and zombies in the corpses, but there were no living corpses.
Wei Lai was glad that if these corpses were all living corpses, he would probably be in a catastrophe, but the appearance of many rotting corpses and zombies was no less dangerous than that of living corpses.
"Grandma, I don't have time to spend with you." Wei Lai looked at the corpse that kept standing up, and suddenly felt his scalp tingle, and lost the courage to resist in his heart, only hoping to find a passage.
It stands to reason that he himself followed Gao Zhiying down, but after coming down, he lost Gao Zhiying's figure, which means that there is a passage in this layer of the boundary tower, but Wei Lai did not find it.
Wei Lai thought back to the scene just now, the time for him to catch up with Gao Zhiying was very short, it can be said that he followed closely, but after entering it, Gao Zhiying disappeared, the biggest possibility is that the black shadow opened the mechanism, and Gao Zhiying was already at the bottom of the Xuanyin Tower at this time.
Just when Wei Lai was getting more and more impatient, his eyes suddenly saw something familiar, there was a black stick lying among the corpses, if it weren't for Wei Lai's sharp eyes, it would be impossible to find it.
