"How long has this wound been?" Qin Chen squatted down, held up Yuan Wei's right arm and looked at it carefully. I saw a shabby strip of cloth tightly tied to his right upper arm, intending to stop the further spread of the corpse poison. This practice is undoubtedly the most correct emergency method after being bitten by a poison in the wild, but this time it was not a poisonous bee or a poisonous snake that bit Yuan Wei, but a necromantic creature carrying corpse poison.

"This morning before dawn. Yuan Wei said truthfully. Then, Qin Chen tore Yuan Wei's shirt directly, revealing his dark green bloodshot upper body, seeing this, Qin Chen didn't say anything, just turned around and took out a small wooden box from the storage ring and put it on the ground, leaving Yuan Wei aside and digging it up by himself.

"That...... Qin Chen, I, what's wrong with me?" The atmosphere of silence for a long time made Yuan Wei a little impatient, and the fear and anxiety filled his chest, like a heavy stone pressing on the atrium, extremely depressed. But in this way, Qin Chen still did not give any answer to Yuan Wei's question, and regardless of his wounds, he was still bleeding non-stop, still fiddling with his back to something.

"The ......"

"Tell me about your experience, don't worry about me. ”

"Good. As soon as the words fell, Yuan Wei fell into memories, and the soul connection between himself and Qin Chen shared the memories......

............

Four days ago, Yuan Wei, as an elder, was sent by the head of the family to Chiya to carry out a special mission, to find a hermit in Chiya and ask him to go out of the mountain to assist the Yuan family. At that time, Yuan Wei was just an ordinary trivial matter, after all, it didn't take much time to find a person, but he entered Chiya for three days. No one was seen. Until the fourth day. Yuan Wei saw a creature walking upright with rotting flesh all over his body......

The creature was covered in dark green blood, rotting flesh peeling off from the wound but hanging from it, rotting eye sockets that made the eyeballs bulge completely, making it look like it was badly injured. Seeing this, Yuan Wei hurriedly ran over, and was about to help him, but before Yuan Wei could get close. The creature dragging the minced meat opened its mouth wide as if it had seen something delicious, revealing a row of sharp fangs, and rushed towards Yuan Wei quickly. Faced with this sudden situation, Yuan Wei was not in a hurry, but thought that the other party needed his help very much, so he quickened his pace......

"Click......" Only a gnawing sound was heard, and Yuan Wei only felt a sharp pain in his right arm, and then his entire right arm was paralyzed unconsciously. Sensing that the situation was inappropriate, Yuan Wei hurriedly punched the creature back, but it was too late. The natural forces stored in the meridians of the whole body were looted, and not only that. His body is still like a leaky balloon, gradually withering and drying...... When Yuan Wei regained consciousness, the sky was already white. The humanoid creature gnawing at itself was left with only a pile of ashes, but the hot wounds and dark green blood streaks all over its body confirmed that what had just happened was not a dream. In desperation, Yuan Wei had no choice but to call Qin Chen over............

Qin Chen put the shared memories into his consciousness space, turned into a soul body and watched it with Luo Yi, the book spirit of the Heavenly Spider Secret Codex, and in the end, both fell into silence and said nothing.

"Xiao Yi, do you know this creature with your experience? a creature with corpse poison. After a long time, Qin Chen sighed and asked Xiao Yi beside him with some solemnity.

"Master, it's not that Xiao Yi is ill-informed, but I really haven't seen such a creature, and I ask the master to forgive me. Shuling Luoyi seemed to have known the question Qin Chen was going to ask for a long time, and as soon as Qin Chen's voice fell, he had already reported the answer. "However, this creature has corpse poison and obviously does not have zài vital signs, so it should be called a dead thing. ”

"If you don't have vital signs, why do you move freely, and you will hunt and suck Yuan Wei's life force according to your animal instincts?" As if he suddenly thought of something, Qin Chen involuntarily opened his mouth, his pupils were full of shock, "Xiaoyi, have you read my memory?"

"Well, yes. By the time we made the contract, all your memories had been read. ”

"Then you should also know the kind of creature that originally didn't exist in my memory, right?" Qin Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Luo Yi beside him, and asked softly.

"Eh, master, what kind of cat are you talking about? or is it a flying dragon? But the sub-god realm is a dragon like a flying dragon......

"I'm talking about zombies. Qin Chen was speechless for a while, but after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, he was relieved, before he came here again, he didn't even dare to watch zombie movies, and it was inevitable that he didn't have a specific concept, and it had been ten years. "The humanoid creature we saw in Yuan Wei's memory just now is very likely to be a zombie, because it is infected with a certain virus, although it is medically dead, it retains a basic sense of survival and aggression, and its activity during the day is very low, and it is basically in a state of sleep, but it will also attack others. ”

"So there are such fragments of memory, but they seem to be a little different...... It's like ...... The kind of zombie in your memory will not turn into ashes during the day, and it will not be with such an infiltrating dark green, in addition, there are many differences, because the appearance of zombies is more like a human, and its actions are not as sensitive as Yuan Wei sees, nor are they dark green bloodshots, nor do they have sharp teeth, in summary, it should not be the same kind of creature. ”

"So Xiao Yi, how long can I open the Soul Eater Pupil with my soul power now?" Qin Chen stood up, took the Celestial Spider Secret Book floating in the air in his hand, and turned to the page where the Soul Eater Pupil was recorded, the dazzling seal mark was like a strong chain, and some raised touches made Qin Chen quite curious, but now there was not so much time to toss these unimportant things.

"It's about the time of a pillar of incense, and if it is too long, it will affect normal actions, which means that a pillar of incense is a safe time. Luo Yi took the Heavenly Spider Secret Book in Qin Chen's hand, pressed his little hand on the raised place of the mark, and it took a while to estimate the number jù, and said it with reservation, while speaking, he pressed his hand on the center of the mark, only to see that the seal mark disappeared without leaving a trace like flowing water being absorbed by Luo Yi. "Now I'm helping you unblock. Master. Xiao Yi will give you a Jianyì. Divide the time of this pillar of incense into several segments, so that the actual use time will be a little longer than the limited time. But, despite this, don't send the undead back to Yellow Springs, because you simply can't afford to consume them. ”

"Got it, then I'll go out now. With that, there was a flash of brilliance, and consciousness returned to the physical body. While continuing the disinfection work on hand, I was thinking about what was going on.

"That, Qin Chen, ......"

"Yuan Wei, ah......" Before Yuan Wei finished speaking, Qin Chen seemed to know what he was going to say next, and simply interrupted his ramblings, "Be mentally prepared." ”

"What?" Yuan Wei looked at Qin Chen, who turned around, in shock, the knife in Qin Chen's hand was cold, like thousands of sharp needles piercing the spine, which frightened Yuan Wei into a cold sweat.

"Please be prepared to be an ordinary person for the rest of your life. Qin Chen sorted out his words, and clearly expressed his meaning again. "Because, you have been infected by corpse poison to the meridians of your body. With that, Qin Chen put the knife in his hand on Yuan Wei's right shoulder. Gently scratched a blood mark, only to see a trace of dark green blood slowly flowing down with the wound where the blade passed, but when it flowed through the dark green blood, this bit of blood was reabsorbed, and finally even the wound did not exist anymore. "However, the corpse poison only consumes all of your natural power and does no harm to your body, although it makes you so old in one night...... Ahem, okay, to make a long story short, do you want to be an ordinary person for the rest of your life, and you can no longer cultivate natural power, or give up being a human being?"

"I ......" Hearing Qin Chen's words, Yuan Wei suddenly hesitated, no matter which choice he made, it could be said that he would lose what he originally had, and if it was someone else, even if it was Qin Chen, it would be difficult to give up. "I ......" For a while, the memories since meeting Qin Chen were like a surging tide, pouring into Yuan Wei's mind out of control...... After a long time, Yuan Wei came back to his senses from this vast wave of memories, and his eyes became unusually bright, "I don't want to be a human anymore." ”

"Whew~ Fortunately, you chose the right one, if you just want to be an ordinary person, then you will turn into ashes. As if relieved, Qin Chen removed the knife from Yuan Wei's shoulder, wiped the blood from the blade with a handkerchief, and then withdrew it into the wooden box behind him. "Next, what you have to do is listen to me quietly, remember, no matter how bizarre and incredible what you hear, don't make any noise, you know?" Seeing Yuan Wei's nod after understanding, Qin Chen slowly took a deep breath, "Then now, I'll start talking." ”

"First of all, it's about the kind of creatures you see. The fact that it has corpse poison tells you that it is not a living body, in short, it is a corpse that attacks you. But why do corpses move on their own and instinctively attack you? There are two answers, one is that these creatures are actually alive, but unfortunately they have lost their rationality and will blindly follow their animal instincts, and the other is that these creatures are corpses, but behind them there are other people's manipulation. However, these two reasons can only explain what you said you experienced, and they can't cover all of them, so I deduce that this Chiya is already a place occupied by necromantic creatures. ”

"The breath of death carried by the necromantic creatures is too strong, so once it is irradiated by the sun, it will be wiped out and the soul will be scattered, and the breath of death on your body after being bitten by the necromantic creatures is also rich, and it will also be wiped out after being exposed to the sun, this is not a joke, the result of the ashes is the destruction of the form and spirit, whether it is Huangquan or the Six Paths, there is no place for you...... Wait! there's something wrong......"

"What's wrong?" The sudden discordant atmosphere made Yuan Wei a little uneasy, how could he not care about matters related to his life and death?

"Poisonous, irrational, acting on instinct, unable to speak, rotting body, dark green blood, sucking essence blood and natural forces, sharp teeth...... It's not a necromantic creature, but it's ...... Disappear when they meet the sun?Are there other creatures besides necromantic creatures?A combination of both?But what kind of creatures with sharp teeth and sharp teeth will be?Cultivators who have been bitten will be sucked by natural forces and essence blood, and their bodies will produce similar dark green blood, and the bitten wounds will not heal, and the super self-healing ability will contradict it...... Viruses, bacteria, Gu arts......" Sensing the anomaly of contradictions, Qin Chen quickly activated his brain, just enumerating all the information he knew in an instant, and also took out all kinds of inferences at the same time, but they were all rejected by the contradictory conditions.

"What kind of creature is it...... What the hell is ......" Puzzled, Qin Chen had no choice but to set up a defensive type alchemy array at the entrance of the wall cave, took the wooden box back into the storage ring, and said to Yuan Wei, "You stay here and don't move around, I'll go out and take a turn to see if I can find any useful clues, remember, when I come back, especially at night, I can't go out, I'll go back." Without waiting for Yuan Wei to speak, Qin Chen picked up the standard longbow again, like a swift wolf, jumped out of the hole in the wall and left Yuan Wei's field of vision.

After leaving the cave, Qin Chen resolutely climbed to the top of the stone wall. In this place of Chiya, the residents have always dug rock walls as their nests, which is also the reason why the stone walls and rocks in the Chiya area are full of forests, and because of the red color of the soil, it is officially named Chiya. When Qin Chen stood firmly on the top of the stone wall, the dense corpses all over the ground in front of her made her feel her stomach churning, and the feeling of nausea was very disgusting, and it took a while to get used to the scene of corpses in front of her.

"Soul Eater Pupil, Kai!" As the words fell, Qin Chen's eyebrows suddenly opened a white eye, if he didn't go in and take a closer look, he wouldn't have noticed that there was an extremely small black spot in the center of the white eye. Such a strange eye is Qin Chen's Soul Eater Pupil, named Blank, a name that is extremely close to the morphological characteristics. After opening the Soul Eater Pupil, Qin Chen's eyes closed tightly, but the black spot in the Soul Eater Pupil kept moving as if seeking prey, and the field of vision was almost one hundred and eighty degrees in front of him. "There is no reaction of undead and necromantic creatures...... In other words, these are purely corpses......" After getting this conclusion, Qin Chen's eyes opened again, and the Soul Devouring Pupil on his eyebrows also closed, disappearing into the center of his eyebrows without a trace.

Qin Chen's Soul Eater Pupil has two abilities that are equivalent to the general storage of external objects, one is a flaw, which can see the flaws and weaknesses of things, and the other is the spirit of death, which perceives the undead or necromantic creatures within a certain range, and what Qin Chen just used is the undead spirit response, which senses whether there are zài undead or necromantic creatures in the corpses everywhere.

"Since I don't, then I can relax a little...... But why can you move without a soul?" (To be continued......
