Chapter 725: Poison
When Umbrella Shishuai noticed the abnormality, this blood-covered man was still far away from the three of them, and had just appeared at the end of the flashlight beam.
The man walked in a very strange way, swaying, and staggering, as if he were a drunken drunk with no clear mind.
Because it was a little far away, and because this person was covered in blood, the three of them couldn't see his clothes clearly, let alone his appearance, and they didn't know who this person was, but they could vaguely see that this should be a man.
Seeing this person covered in blood, Chen Ziyang became cautious, and he hurriedly opened his yin and yang eyes and looked at this person. Sure enough, a large cloud of black gas surrounded this man, and it seemed that even if this person was not an evil thing, he should have been possessed by some evil spirit.
"Be careful!" As soon as Chen Ziyang's words of reminder came out, the man covered in blood who walked towards the three people along the passage suddenly moved, rushing towards the three people at an extremely fast speed, which was in stark contrast to his previous slow forward speed.
After running two steps, the man leaned down, pressed his hands to the ground, and at the same time supported himself on the ground with his hands and legs, like a wild wolf that had gone mad.
When this person also added his hands to help, his speed increased a notch again, and by the time the three people reacted and wanted to make preparations to respond, this person had already rushed half the distance, and he was about to rush between the three people.
It was only at this time that Chen Ziyang saw the identity of this person clearly. He was none other than the one who accidentally touched the password disk on the door of the small courtyard before, triggered the mechanism, and the female ghost in his body sent a crossbow arrow, and died the team member under Liu Cong who was there.
This discovery shocked Chen Ziyang incomparably, he never thought that after only such a short period of effort, how could this dead man become an evil thing, and it would have such a terrifying speed.
Without thinking about it, judging from the blood on this team member and the rapid forward speed, he guessed that Chen Sanjin should have died at the hands of this team member, and the blood on this monster should be Chen Sanjin's. I just don't know what this team member has become, and how it has become.
There was no time to study the specific reason, and after taking out a stack of spirit runes, Chen Ziyang casually threw them forward, hoping to use this pile of spirit runes to stop the monster from moving forward.
The yellow runes spread out in the air after they were released, and these runes floated and fluttered in the air, spreading very evenly, almost forming a wall of spirit runes, blocking the three people and the monster.
Although Chen Ziyang's technique of throwing out the spirit rune was very good, the speed of the evil thing he had to deal with was too fast, and his skills were extremely agile. At the moment when the spirit rune dispersed, the team member who was moving quickly against the ground suddenly jumped up.
The team member jumped to the side and stuck directly to the wall on the side of the passage, and continued to rush forward at high speed along the side wall of the passage, without slowing down in the slightest.
Then the team member climbed higher and higher, and while advancing at high speed, he also rose along the side wall of the passage, and after reaching the middle of the entire passage height, the team member pounced forward again, and jumped directly over the spirit rune wall from the spirit rune floating in mid-air, and pressed towards the three people below.
"Grandma, how come Chen Sanjin's skills even know this kid!" After cursing in his heart, Chen Ziyang hurriedly took two steps back.
The speed of this team member was so fast that Chen Ziyang had no way to make the next defensive means, and even he felt that the hand that he had just thrown out the spirit rune had not been completely withdrawn, and this team member had already crossed the spirit rune that was thrown out.
Because of the reason for checking Chen Sanjin's injury just now, among the three people, Chen Ziyang stood at the forefront, so the first person that the evil creature turned into by this team member pounced on was him.
Fortunately, the Xuanming Ancient Sword has always been in Chen Ziyang's hand, and he doesn't need to waste time drawing the sword, otherwise he will definitely not have time to resist the blow of this monster, and it is very likely that he will be hit.
After quickly falling backwards, Chen Ziyang felt the monster almost brush against the tip of his nose, and at the same time, he hurriedly stabbed a sword upward.
Although because the speed of this monster was very fast, the tip of the Xuanming Ancient Sword in Chen Ziyang's hand was just touched by the monster's body and was passed by the monster, but because the Xuanming Ancient Sword was very sharp, judging from the feel transmitted back from the sword body, Chen Ziyang knew that this sword should have stabbed this monster, and it was very likely that a long hole was made on this monster's body.
"Whoa......" The monster after being stabbed howled, and fell to the ground at the same time, which happened to fall between Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai. At this time, Yang Lei had already raised the sapper shovel high, and when he saw the monster falling in front of him, he hurriedly slapped the shovel down.
"Dang" Yang Lei's shovel did not slap on the monster's body, but slapped on the ground, making a crisp impact sound. It's not that his hand speed is too slow, it's that this monster's speed is just too fast.
At the moment when the monster just landed on the ground, the monster suddenly turned its body 180 degrees and pounced in the direction of Chen Ziyang again, and at this time, Yang Lei's sapper shovel had just begun to fall.
Chen Ziyang, who suddenly turned around, saw that this monster was rushing towards him again, so he immediately took out the Bagua Mirror, held it in front of him, and at the same time injected mana into the Bagua Mirror. A golden light lit up from the gossip mirror.
The monster that rushed to Chen Ziyang's approach seemed to be very afraid of this golden light, so he used his hands and feet to tap the ground at the same time, jumped high again, and flew over Chen Ziyang's head for the second time.
When the monster flew over Chen Ziyang's head, a drop of liquid dripped from the monster's body and dripped on the mirror surface of the Bagua Mirror impartially, and at the same time, the golden light shot from the Bagua Mirror disappeared all at once.
This made Chen Ziyang feel extremely surprised, he didn't understand why the Bagua Mirror had such an abnormality. Then he hurriedly turned the mirror around, only to find that a puddle of green things had stained the mirror surface of the gossip mirror.
The green liquid that dripped on the surface of the Bagua Mirror was like human blood, and it was viscous, but it was green. This green liquid is very corrosive, and after the liquid is stained with the mirror surface of the Bagua Mirror, it actually corrodes the mirror surface of the Bagua Mirror.
At this moment, small green bubbles emerged from the green liquid, making a hissing sound and bursts of white smoke. These green liquids, like sulfuric acid, corroded the copper gossip mirror at an extremely rapid rate.
Chen Ziyang watched as small holes quickly appeared on the mirror surface of the gossip mirror, and some of the brass had been completely corroded, and these loopholes on the mirror surface continued to expand.
After hurriedly throwing away the gossip mirror in his hand, Chen Ziyang turned around to look for this monster, and at the corner of his eye, he also looked at the Xuanming Ancient Sword in his hand out of the corner of his eye.
According to his judgment, the thing that dripped on the Bagua Mirror should be the blood of this monster, and it is very likely that this drop of green blood dripped from the wound that the monster had just opened with his own Xuanming Ancient Sword. If that's the case, maybe his Xuanming Ancient Sword will also be corroded.
After seeing that the Xuanming Ancient Sword was still intact and worthy of being a treasure, Chen Ziyang let out a sigh of relief and focused his gaze on the monster in front of him.
At this time, all the clothes on the monster that Liu Cong's team members turned into had fallen off, and the clothes stained with red blood fell to the ground. A long, neat wound ran down the monster's shoulder to the monster's right foot.
Seeing the clothes that had fallen off and the wound on the monster's body, Chen Ziyang knew that this wound should have been opened by the Xuanming Ancient Sword when the monster first jumped over his head before. And when the monster leaped over its head for the second time at great speed, the unbroken clothes fell.
At this time, drops of green liquid dripped from the long wound on the monster's body, but fortunately, Umbrella Shishuai's reaction was very fast, and he kept the flashlight beam firmly locked on the monster's body, which allowed Chen Ziyang to see clearly.
With the help of the flashlight beam, Chen Ziyang saw that the skin on this monster was faintly green, and even the monster's eyes showed a trace of green light.
At this moment, Chen Ziyang suddenly figured out why this team member suddenly became like this, not because of anything else, it was precisely because he was hit by a female ghost with a crossbow arrow.
The female ghost's crossbow arrows are very small, and they don't have any lethality at all, and the only fatal place is the poison that is smeared on the female ghost's crossbow arrows, and it is this poison that makes the previous team member die in an instant.
However, at that time, the player's body did not show any abnormality, and his face was still very ruddy, so everyone didn't care. Now it seems that the poison applied to the female ghost's hair is not trivial.
The scene in front of him was very familiar, and Chen Ziyang immediately figured out that this team member should be slowly turning into a corpse demon.
This is the third time he has seen this kind of monster with a green body and a green light in its eyes. The previous two were made by Cardinal Wang and Zhang Qianliang.
It seems that the two people who were on their deaths should have taken this poison, so they became corpse demons, and this poison was also smeared on the female ghost's crossbow arrows, which made this team member have this mutation.
However, there is one thing that Chen Ziyang didn't understand, that is, the combat power of the monster in front of him is obviously much stronger than the two corpse demons he encountered before, I don't know if it's because of the difference in the amount of poison, or some other reason.
"Insidious!" After thinking about all this, Chen Ziyang came up with this idea in his heart. The person who designed the mechanism in front of the courtyard gate is too insidious, and his defense method is really very effective.
If the person who enters the dungeon and comes to the front of the small courtyard does not know the correct password to open the door and triggers the mechanism, the person who opens the door will be shot by the female ghost who has been smeared with poison and sent crossbow arrows.
The insidious thing about this poison is that the newly deceased does not show any changes, and there is no abnormality even from the outside, which makes the companions who come here with the dead relax their vigilance against the dead corpses.
But it wasn't long before the poison began to work. A person who dies of poisoning will turn into a corpse demon, and in addition to its own strong combat power, the corpse demon transformed into a dead person will also launch a surprise attack on other people who are not guarded. In this case, the team that came here would definitely not be able to fall behind, and even if these people did not die under the mechanism, they would die at the hands of the corpse demons turned into their companions.
It's no wonder that Chen Sanjin would be so easily hit, it turned out that it was not Yoshioka Xiong and Pan Huayu who sneaked up on him from the front, but from this corpse demon behind him.
At that time, Chen Sanjin should have paid attention to other places, and he was not distracted to check the situation behind him, because he felt that behind him was the small courtyard where Chen Benzhong and the others were, and there should be no danger.
And the dead body of this team member turned into a fast-moving corpse demon under the effect of poison, and quietly approached Chen Sanjin, and after the first sneak attack, Chen Sanjin was seriously injured and suffered a heavy blow, which killed him.
At this time, the corpse demon transformed into a team member pressed his hands and feet to the ground and made an attack posture, but the monster did not rush forward immediately, as if looking for an opportunity to attack. And Chen Ziyang knew that this monster was waiting, waiting for the moment when it completely turned into a corpse demon.
Although the monster in front of him already has the prototype of a corpse demon, it is still very different from the two corpse demons that Cardinal Wang and Zhang Qianliang turned into, it should not be completely formed, and it seems that it will take a while to transform.
And the means he revealed just now made this monster a lot more cautious, so the monster made an attack posture, but it didn't rush forward immediately, it was delaying time, waiting for the moment when it completely turned into a corpse demon.
"Can't give it a chance!" Chen Ziyang knew that the longer the time dragged on, the closer this monster would be to the corpse demon in its final state, and its combat power might become stronger and stronger, and it would be dangerous at that time. So if you want to deal with this thing, you have to race against time.
Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang hurriedly stepped forward, took the initiative to attack, and fought with this monster. In the blink of an eye, one person and one demon were in a battle.
The current Chen Ziyang is no longer the little Taoist priest of Maoshan who turned into a dragon when he first entered the shallow water, and was frightened to his legs when he saw the corpse demon.
Years of experience between crises made his reaction very fast, and the fitness he has always insisted on has also made his physique better than ordinary people, and when salvaging the iron book, he has been in close contact with the life and death of the sword demon made of the Japanese saber, so that his swordsmanship has improved by several levels.
All these improvements were completely manifested at this moment, and Chen Ziyang did not fall behind at all when he was fighting with the corpse demon in close quarters.
