Chapter 42: Bloody Corpses?
On a plain in the middle of nowhere, large swaths of rocks are piled up haphazardly, and there is no end in sight.
There were two hurried people standing outside the stone forest, and the two were none other than Lin Chen and Zhu Yuanzheng, who had been following the black shadow.
"Senior, there is no road ahead. Lin Chen looked at the stone forest not far away and reminded in a low voice. The stone forest here stretches for hundreds of miles, among which there are many boulders more than ten meters high, and there are also many small stones. Once a person enters it, it is like a drop of water flowing into the sea, and it is impossible to distinguish at all.
"Let's go in and look for it, you follow me and don't get lost" Zhu Yuanzheng's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After dropping this sentence, he took the lead and walked towards the stone forest. Lin Chen, who was behind him, sighed secretly, and had to follow behind him a little reluctantly.
Somewhere in the stone forest, somewhere in the shade of a boulder, an underground tunnel was dug out at some point. The entrance to the tunnel was not deliberately hidden, it was exposed uncovered. The tunnel is three meters wide, and the straight slope is about 10 meters down, and the whole space suddenly opens up.
A rough cavern created improvised came into view, with no arrangement in the cavern, other than an intricate stone formation carved into the ground. In the center of the stone henge sat cross-legged a woman in ragged clothes, the clothes on the woman's body were tattered, and even some sensitive parts had been exposed, but the other party didn't seem to care.
On the side of the stone henge stood a strange emaciated old man, who held a skeletal scepter in his hand, and blue light flashed from time to time in his eyes.
Don't say that these two people are the thin old man and Zhu Yuanzheng's daughter that Lin Chen and Zhu Yuanzheng have been pursuing, but now it seems that the situation of the woman in the formation is not optimistic. Her pale face was obscured by her low-hanging hair, but her trembling arms could tell the fear and unease in her heart.
"Hey, I was originally going to wait for my Jade Corpse Pill to be completely refined before refining this blood corpse after a while, but now I'm seriously injured. The two guys behind him have been entangled again, so they can only refine early. Although the power of the blood corpse refined in this way will be reduced, but it can only be done in this way for now, but it is a pity that this excellent body is a pity!" The thin old man muttered to himself, if he knew that the woman he was now about to refine into a blood corpse was actually the daughter of one of the two people who had been chasing him all the time, he didn't know how rich his expression would be.
The light in the crypt was dim, and he could barely see by the faint light cast by a few moonstones overhead.
As soon as the thin old man thought of this, the skeletal scepter in his hand kept drawing strange runes in the air, and the incantations in his mouth continued. As the spell progressed, the stone henge on the ground began to change. One by one, the stones in the stone formation began to glow and light up, and finally joined together to form the shape of a skull.
At the same time, the emaciated old man began to circle around the stone formation, dancing strange and strange dances. Even in the end, a few drops of bright red blood dripped from the ring finger of his left hand, and the blood dripped onto the formation, and was quickly absorbed by the stones in the formation. And as the blood gradually sank into the stones, the formation mutation reappeared, and the formation that originally exuded a milky white light suddenly flashed red.
The old man on the side saw this, his eyes flashed, and he didn't dare to slack off. With a finger of the Nayuan ring, he took out the two jade bottles that had been prepared long ago. One is creamy white and the other is blue-black.
Without hesitation, the old man quickly opened the milky white jade bottle, poured out the half-finished corpse jade pill from it, and with a flick of his fingers, it shot into the mouth of the girl in the formation accurately. Then the thin old man reached out and directly crushed the blue-black jade bottle, and suddenly the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howls came out.
A large number of visible souls wailed and wailed, and some even pounced directly on the emaciated old man. However, the thin old man had already prepared, and a spell was played in his hand, and the stone formation suddenly reversed, and an irresistible suction force sucked these ghosts in.
Although these souls struggled in every way, they were all helplessly sucked into the formation in the end. With the operation of the formation, the sound of Devil May Cry had long since disappeared, but it was a drop of black liquid overflowing from the formation at some point. The black liquid dripped into the rune grooves that had been carved out of the circle, slowly flowing and converging.
The thin old man breathed a sigh of relief at this point, but the movements in his hands were faster, and the pinching technique continued, and from time to time a drop to several drops of blood flew out from his fingertips, and he was submerged in the formation.
At this time, the woman in the center of the formation also changed, she was originally sitting there as if she was dead silent, but at this time, she suddenly roared, and her head suddenly raised, revealing a white and delicate face. It's just that the green tendons on her forehead burst out at this time, her eyes are blood-red, there are dead black silk entanglements in the depths of her pupils, and the nails of her ten onion fingers have also begun to grow wildly, and almost half a cup of tea has grown to three inches, and there is a tendency to continue to grow. The originally beautiful black hair also changed from black to gray at this time.
I don't know how long later, a heart-rending scream suddenly came from the cave.
And Lin Chen and the others, who were not far from here, followed the direction from which the sound came, and found this underground cave hidden in the depths of the stone forest a few minutes later.
"The voice just now should have come from here" Lin Chen looked at the cave in front of him, his expression uncertain. I don't know why Lin Chen's heart suddenly beat violently, and it seems that something bad has happened. Monks often have a certain sense of something at certain points in time, and this kind of sense is called channeling.
"Well, it is. Lin Chen's situation below is unpredictable, so don't go down yet. And with you staying on top, if the situation is not right, it is good to have you outside" Zhu Yuanzheng frowned, he also had an ominous premonition.
"Quack doesn't need to come down, the old man will go up and take your dog's life!" Quack" Before Lin Chen could answer, a slightly eerie voice came from the cave.
Lin Chen and Zhu Yuan were shocked, obviously they had been discovered. However, the two of them were quite calm, and a few flashes under their feet appeared ten meters away from the entrance of the cave, and their eyes were vigilantly staring at the entrance of the cave.
After two "whoosh" sounds, two figures, one black and one red, flashed out of the cave, the black was naturally the black shadow that Lin Chen had seen before, and the red figure was a woman in a big red robe. It's just that this woman's eyes are a little dull, but her aura is not weak, and she is enough to gather in the early stage of Juyuan, and it is only a little worse than Zhu Yuanzheng.
"Quack, aren't you going to take the old man's life, I'll give you this chance," the thin old man took off the black hood on his head, revealing a triangular head with hemorrhoids, and the few hairs fluttering wantonly in the wind.
Lin Chen on the side did not rush to make a move, but looked at Zhu Yuanzheng, and then at the red-robed woman, and knew it in his heart.
I'm afraid that this woman is really Zhu Yuanzheng's daughter, otherwise he wouldn't have such an expression at this time, but why does this woman feel so weird to herself? But just now I saw her walking out of the cave nimbly, not wanting to look like she had fallen, why is this?
Just as Lin Chen was curious about why this woman was not an ordinary person, Zhu Yuanzheng on the side suddenly shouted, "I'm going to kill you!" The Heavenly Wolf Sword in his hand stabbed directly at the thin old man, without the slightest reservation.
What everyone didn't notice was that even the thin old man closest to the red-robed woman didn't see it, and the woman who had been refined into a bloody corpse actually had a tear dripping from the corner of her eye at some point. You must know that once it is refined into a blood corpse, it will be like a walking corpse, and there will be no emotion at all. But at this time, the female blood corpse actually shed tears, and the end was weird and abnormal.
