027: Hundred bones
Li Jian saw that these corpses seemed to be driven by something invisible, although they had no divine sense, but they had a discipline that ordinary zombies did not have, just like at this moment, although those corpses seemed to be scattered, they generally maintained a unified direction and did not scatter in all directions.
Li Jian turned his head and asked Zhu Qian, "What have you done with these corpses?"
Zhu Qian shook her head: "From the mass grave brought out of the Sichuan-Chu battlefield to the present, the master has pasted a corpse-attracting talisman for them, and this talisman is just for the convenience of hurrying, and it has no other effect. β
"It's strange, did they fall for evil for no reason?"
As he spoke, the zombie acting as a scout had already walked into the river.
Although his body was stiff and he could not freely perform movements such as paddling and kicking, he did not follow the flow in the water, and his direction of travel was always locked in the direction of Li Jian and them on the opposite bank. Despite being swept away by the river, he kept adjusting his direction.
"Could it be because of this?"
Ruri interjected softly, pointing to the blood moon that hung quietly in the middle of the night.
Li Jian looked up and saw that the scarlet in the sky was a little more enchanting than before, and the group of corpses in the distance seemed to be more excited than before.
Zhu Qian also discovered this, showed a thoughtful expression, and nodded in agreement.
Bai Xinyu is more realistic: "Now is not the time to find these reasons, let's leave quickly, otherwise the corpses on the other side will come over and be in a hurry." β
Li Jian responded, beckoned everyone to extinguish the fire, and prepared to continue south.
Bai Xinyu was barely able to bring a glass with him when he was in the sword, and Li Jian would be crumbling as if he was overloaded with one foot.
In desperation, he could only let Bai Xinyu hold the glass and walk on foot by himself.
"No, I'm going to be with my brother!"
Liuli couldn't stay on Li Jian's body, twisting her small body like kraft candy.
Li Jian was helpless, and comforted himself in his heart: he just thought it was a weight-bearing run.
When I turned around, I found that Zhu Qian didn't follow.
scolded her mother in her heart, so she had to run back to her to see what was going on.
Seeing her silently looking at the groups of zombies wading in the water one after another, Li Jian couldn't help but say angrily: "You haven't seen enough of these disgusting things all day long? β
Zhu Qian rarely did not express any negative emotions about Li Jian's run, and there was a faint worry between her eyebrows: "When the man in black asked us to take the corpse, he not only gave Ye Mingzhu as a deposit, but also gave my master a threat. β
"What threat?"
"To lose a corpse is to lose your life. β
Li Jian was stunned.
"Then you still take this hot potato?"
The tone made no secret of the incomprehension and ridicule of the behavior of asking for money and not wanting to die.
Zhu Qian didn't seem to hear it, and her tone was gloomy and helpless: "He killed the strongest martial artist in our sect with just one move, can we have the choice of refusal?"
If you take this job, you may be in trouble, and if you don't accept it, you will definitely be slaughtered. β
Li Jian didn't expect this stubble, and his tone softened: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect there to be these twists and turns in the middle."
You γγγ you mourn and change.
Don't worry about it so much now, you think, even if you stay, these corpses can't help but say it, and they will definitely give their lives for nothing.
Besides, your master's life has already been taken, even if Hanxia Mountain goes to you to investigate it in the future, you have something to say. β
Li Jian said so, but he also knew in his heart that this was actually an expedient comforting word.
According to the previous behavior of the man in black who used the killing of his senior brother as a threatening bargaining chip, if he really wants to go to Baicheng Mountain to hold him accountable in the future, I am afraid that no explanation can resolve it. But if you don't say that, I'm afraid this Zhu Qian will really die here.
Bai Xinyu over there saw their ink, and the sword fell down, and his eyes asked.
Before she could speak, Liuli suddenly said, "It's over, it's over, I can't leave if I want to." β
Bai Xinyu and Zhu Qian looked puzzled.
Li Jian knew that Liuli's perception was very amazing, so there must be some major changes, and his heart was cold at the moment.
Ruri sighed: "Underground." β
"Underground?"
"What's going on underground?"
"This γγγγ"
There was a rustling on the ground, and the sound of the earth loosening, one after another, was particularly strange in the wilderness where the night was as cool as water.
There was also a movement not far from Li Jian, as if there was something in the dirt that was about to break through the soil.
Several people stared at it curiously, only to see the ground covered with withered grass tremble, and suddenly a white sensen's dry bone palm poked out from below.
Bai Xinyu was so frightened that she screamed and tilted her head not to look.
The white bones continued to pull at the loess on the side, and after a while, a large pit was carved out around it, and inside the pit, a very thoroughly rotten, flesh-and-blood skeleton loomed.
"It's going to dig itself out!"
"Give me the sword" Zhu Qian said with her eyebrows locked, and there was not much panic in her tone.
In her early years, she dealt with the dead with her master, stepping on the gray area of yin and yang to beg for food, and encountered a lot of weird and bizarre things, and now she is frightened, but she is calmer than others.
I saw her snatch Bai Xinyu's flying sword, and walked in a few steps in front of the white bone that was still there to liberate herself, the silver tooth bit secretly, and slashed it dozens of times in one breath, until the white bone was cut to pieces.
Li Jianya took a cool breath, and looked at Zhu Qian with admiration in his heart.
He actually has such guts, but he doesn't have the ruthlessness that she exudes from the bottom of his heart.
Bai Xinyu let out another scream at this time, "And!"
Hearing this, everyone withdrew their gaze from the bones that had been scattered by Zhu Qian, and when they looked around, they all felt cold in their limbs.
As far as the eye could see, dense withered hands kept popping up from the ground, slowly but rhythmically digging through the damp soil. Countless white bones of the forest are bathed in the light of the blood moon, constantly emerging in the potholes.
Not only that, but in some dark places, all kinds of terrifying ghosts floated out of thin air, gloomy and gloomy, laughing or crying, floating above the buried bones of dry bones, as if welcoming old friends who had been absent for a long time.
"It's not good, these wandering ghosts want to borrow corpses to resurrect their souls. β
Zhu Qian's face was unprecedentedly dignified, even more than when she faced a group of zombies just now.
"Borrowing a corpse to resurrect a soul?" Li Jian was puzzled.
"Don't ask so much just yet, let's go. β
Bai Xinyu looked at the boundless sea and wanted to cry without tears: "Go, where are you going?"
Li Jian no longer hesitated, and stuffed the glass into Bai Xinyu's arms: "You take her imperial sword first, and Zhu Qian and I will go behind." β
Liuli was still muttering, as if she was going to refuse, Li Jian glared fiercely, and she didn't speak with red eyes.
Zhu Qian also quickly handed back the flying sword, and solemnly instructed: "Those wandering ghosts will definitely stop you later, you remember, no matter what you see or hear, it should be an illusion, just rush forward, don't stop." β
Bai Xinyu's face turned pale, and he didn't know if he listened or not.
Although her cultivation is extraordinary, she is afraid of these disgusting things in her heart. So she was not afraid of the famous Nether Blood Rider, but she was weak when she encountered a zombie who didn't have much of a way.
Zhu Qian picked two of the wooden sticks that Li Jian found to dry his clothes before, picked out two that looked relatively strong, checked them, gave one to Li Jian, and said, "You are the same, I will keep in mind later: what you see and hear is an illusion."
Follow me, and when you encounter the bones of the Possessed Souls, you only smash their joints. β
Li Jian nodded heavily, and agreed loudly.
His loud voice was particularly abrupt in the night sky, and the four wild yin creatures were attracted at once.
Zhu Qian was taken aback: "You still don't have enough things to stare at us?"
Li Jian also knew that he had done something stupid, so he had nothing to say, and blushed and acted like a little girl:
"IγIsn't this a cheer for yourselfγγγ"
