I couldn't help but gasp when I saw the scratches on the car.

What kind of creature could make such a thrilling scratch on the body of a steel beast like a car?

General Ye and Li Xuanji were the most knowledgeable of us, but when they saw the situation in front of them, they both fell into deep thought.

General Night was the first to speak, and after a moment of silence, he made a rough judgment: "It seems that Chen Qingyi sent more than just assassins this time...... I'm afraid that this kind of power is not the work of human beings......"

Li Xuanji said: "Not necessarily, it may not be a living person, but a dead person......

"You mean walking corpses?" General Ye instantly understood the meaning of Li Xuanji, and the phrase "walking corpse" immediately pulled my thoughts back to the Shen Tomb in Xishuangbanna before.

In the course of that Shen Ling's adventure, we have seen the horror of zombies. One of them took off the head of one of our comrades-in-arms with just one claw...... In this way, it is likely that the deep scratches on the car in front of you were left by them, and the claw marks on the car are similar to the size of human fingernails.

Speaking of walking corpses, not only me, but even pandas gasped: "Walking corpses are different from powerful ghosts, if we don't have strong firepower, even if we are able to use the magic of the Dao Xuan, I'm afraid we won't be opponents, right?" โ€

Li Xuanji nodded solemnly: "You're really right, the attack power of the walking corpse is too strong, and we don't have an advantage in a head-on conflict......"

The panda was puzzled: "But the walking corpse is irrational after all, can Chen Qingyi control the walking corpse?" โ€

Li Xuanji said: "Chen Qingyi may not be able to control the walking corpse, but there must be someone under him who can." โ€

Speaking of which, I couldn't help but sweat for the Rouge Yaksha.

Such a terrifying walking corpse, even if Rouge Yaksha and He Dasong meet head-on, they may not be able to take advantage.

Rouge Yaksha's martial arts are better than skill and speed, and to deal with walking corpses, you must have an advantage in strength and the ability to resist blows. From this point of view, the Rouge Yaksha is only afraid that he will encounter a natural enemy tonight.

At this moment, the panda suddenly said in a deep voice: "Look at this! โ€

As the panda's voice looked over, we found that the panda was standing two steps outside the car door, and at his feet, there happened to be a drop of blood.

A drop of dark red blood.

"Someone is hurt!" General Night whispered, flying over to check it, more sure of his judgment.

It seems that Rouge Yaksha and He Dasong were besieged by walking corpses in the car, and in desperation, they had to flee by the road. In the process of escaping, someone must have been injured in them.

Now that the first drop of blood has been found, there must be more traces of blood in the future.

The panda was quite perceptive, and quickly found a route with the blood on the ground.

We followed the trail of blood into the depths of this huge, dark industrial park. Although the sixth sense now tells me that the situation with Rouge Yaksha is not optimistic, I must find her, whether she is alive or dead.

The Night General flapped his wings and flew high into the air, because the movements of the walking corpses were quite sharp, and once we were spotted by them first, then we would hardly even have a chance to escape. So when fighting the walking corpses, we have to take the initiative.

Soon, we were in the deepest part of the industrial park.

The blood has become difficult to spot here, perhaps because the wounds of the wounded have begun to heal. Before the panda could find the next drop of blood, Li Xuanji speculated, "I vaguely feel that the Rouge Yaksha and the walking corpses should be here." โ€

I was puzzled and asked him why he had such a judgment.

Li Xuanji told me that the environment here is the most soundproof and the most secluded, and if Chen Qingyi wants to kill someone, he will definitely choose such a location. And if the Rouge Yaksha wants to hide, he will definitely choose such a position.

Li Xuanji's judgment was correct, because as soon as his words fell, I heard a terrifying voice coming from a clearing not far away.

It was a wolf-like sound, poignant and long, especially creepy in the middle of the night.

Although I had never heard the roar of a walking corpse when I was in Shen Ling, the sound immediately reminded me of the kind of terrifying monster covered in long hair, cold eyes, and sharp teeth......

A few seconds later, the panicked Great Raven Night General flew down from the sky and nervously told me that it was indeed a walking corpse, and that there was more than one. Although it did not see the Rouge Yaksha, it had already caught the whereabouts of the walking corpse.

We crept to the sounds, and in the moonlight, I finally saw these horrible walking corpses.

Specifically, it should be three walking corpses.

The weakest of the three walking corpses was a purple zombie, ghostly, squatting cunningly under a tree next to a road in the industrial park, as if looking for a target for his attack.

The other two were tall, about 185 in height, covered in long brown hair, with eyes shining in the dark night, sharp teeth in their mouths, and wandering in the halls of an abandoned building......

It should have been a hairy stiff standing in the doorway that was howling just now, and from its appearance and breath, it could be inferred that this guy's destructive power was quite amazing. And these three zombies will never come here by themselves and hunt down the Rouge Yaksha, there must be a controller behind them.

I whispered to General Night if there was anyone nearby.

The Night General nodded, saying that there seemed to be a figure on the second floor of the building.

Across the street, I carefully stared at the space on the second floor.

Because it is an unfinished building, there is no obstruction on the second floor of this building, and you can directly see the empty part of it.

Sure enough, as General Night said, after a while, I saw a middle-aged man in a dark gray robe sneakily walking to the window.

By the moonlight, I could see that this was a middle-aged man with a rather rough appearance and dress. A rich beard, a shriveled face, a pockmarked face, and a not-so-good-looking rosacea nose...... The image of this man can only be described by the word "sloppy" from any angle, so I can basically conclude that he is by no means Chen Qingyi.

However, General Night and Li Xuanji seemed to see that this man was extraordinary.

Li Xuanji only glanced at it twice, and then asserted: "It's from Xiangxi." โ€

The Night General chimed in: "Corpse chaser." โ€

Xiangxi drove corpses.

Speaking of these four words, it should be a household name.

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man standing on the second floor who was not good-looking was the famous Xiangxi corpse chaser!

Li Xuanji looked at the middle-aged man with a burning gaze in his eyes, and then said in a low voice: "Seeing that his face is lifeless, he should have been dealing with dead corpses all year round." Looking at these three walking corpses again, they have opened their spiritual apertures and have been completely domesticated, but I am afraid that this middle-aged man is no longer just a corpse chaser. โ€

General Ye and Li Xuanji are both predecessors of Xuanmen, and they have walked the rivers and lakes all year round and are well-informed. As soon as General Ye heard Li Xuanji's words, he instantly guessed what he meant.

"Daochang Li, do you mean to say that this guy is a corpse keeper?"

Li Xuanji nodded lightly: "I'm afraid that's what it means." โ€

However, Panda and I didn't know much about this, and Panda asked, "What's the difference between 'corpse chaser' and 'corpse keeper'?" โ€

General Night smiled lightly: "This is a big difference. The corpse chaser can only be considered an entry-level level. They reluctantly relied on ancestral magic to awaken the dead, that is, to artificially make those corpses temporarily transform into walking corpses, and drive them to return to their homeland from a foreign land. Although such a technique is extremely rare nowadays, it can only be regarded as a small skill of carving insects after all, and cannot be applied to actual combat...... In comparison, the corpse keeper is simply a master. โ€

Without waiting for General Ye to say more, Li Xuanji took over and continued: "Corpse keepers are born to study walking corpses, which is different from corpse chasers. They traveled all over the world, looking for outstanding corpses, and used ancestral spells to awaken these corpses and turn them into walking corpses. They then spent years domesticating the walking corpses, domesticating them like cattle for their own use. This is the legendary 'corpse keeper'. โ€

Speaking of this, Li Xuanji stretched out his hand and pointed at the middle-aged man standing on the second floor of the abandoned building in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Judging from the way he controls these walking corpses and his proficiency, I am afraid that this friend is no longer a corpse chaser, but should be a ...... Corpse keepers! โ€
