Chapter 53: The Bronze Corpse Appears at the End of the Road
Qing Yi was suddenly frightened like this, and her heart was terrified, she jumped up, hugged Xia Wushen tightly, her body couldn't help shaking, and said, "Little Jiusi, have you seen it?" See? ”
Xia Wushen was hugged tightly by her, but she felt a strong scorching breath coming to her face, as if she was in a furnace, the heat was unbearable, and she was lucky at the moment, blocking this sudden hot temperature, and sighed secretly: "As she said, the heat caused by this strange disease will fluctuate with the mood, and become more and more intense." Thinking everywhere, the sword flicked back, and said: "This cave is weird and abnormal, I'm afraid that there will be ghosts and monsters." Sister Qingyi, what did you just see? ”
Qing Yi closed her eyes vigorously and said, "I only felt that the back of my neck was suddenly cold, and pimples were rising all over my body, as if someone was angry at my neck, it was really terrifying." Little Ninety-four, how can those ghosts have the same temperament as people, they only know how to bully the weak! Your cultivation is exquisite, and you are extremely powerful, and he doesn't dare to provoke you, so he hides around me, always frightening me. I wonder what good it is for him to insult me in this way. ”
In fact, Qingyi is not so timid and cowardly as she seems, but she has always been carefree, and the people around her dare not go against her will, and she is used to being arrogant.
This time I came to the East, bumpy all the way, and I was frightened, and I was already a frightened bird.
In particular, she had never seen a ghost, and although she had fought with evil spirits before, the evil spirits had transformed into human beings, and on the surface, they were no different from ordinary people.
At this moment, in this underground cave, she first saw the ghost fire, and then there was a phantom behind her to frighten, so how could she not be frightened.
Xia Wushen was extremely frightened when he saw Qing Yi, and when the true qi of the Demon Descending Forging Chapter was released, the two of them were filled with it at first, and then they gathered behind him, forming an invisible barrier, and said, "Sister Qingyi, I have spread the true qi behind me. Whatever is in this cave, whether it is alive or dead, but it only touches my true qi, I know everything. ”
Qingyi's heart calmed down for a while, and she said happily: "So I don't have to worry!" We don't have to worry about the future, we just have to concentrate on the front. ”
Having said that, his hand still pulled the corner of Xia Wushen's clothes, but not as hard as before.
Xia Wushen held the Zhushen Sword in one hand, held Qing Yi in the other, and slowly walked inside.
In fact, with Xia Wushen's current cultivation, if he is in normal times, there will be thousands of troops and horses, and he can also retreat with his whole body. This time he was so prepared for the battle, which is really the reason why the opponent is extremely mysterious.
The two of them walked for a while, only to feel a very strange smell coming from time to time.
Xia Wushen smelled the smell, remembering that in the Thyme Restaurant, when he first met Luo Xian, the young master of Xuanbing Palace, there were two Xia Wushen sneak attacks, and the smell emitted by his body was no different from it, he was taken aback, and said: "Sister Qingyi, be careful, this is corpse gas!" ”
Qing Yiqi said: "What is corpse qi? ”
After she came to Chu State, although she often heard about zombies, she had never seen them, and she didn't know that corpse qi was unique to zombies.
Xia Wushen said in a deep voice: "There may be zombies in front of you!" ”
Qing Yi clapped her hands and said, "Since I arrived in Chu State, I have often heard people talk about zombies, but I have never seen them. I don't want to get a glimpse of the whole picture, it's really fun. Little Ninety-four, have you ever seen a zombie? I've heard them say that zombies are all copper-skinned and iron-skinned, and they are very good, but they don't know if they should be real? ”
Xia Wushen saw that Qing Yi was frightened, and his fear disappeared, and he said strangely: "Sister Qingyi, why are you not scared?" ”
Qing Yi smiled awkwardly and said, "Actually, how can I be as timid as you think." Xiao Jiusi, although people are afraid of ghosts, the awe generated by ignorance is even more terrifying. If you don't know what's in front of you, that's fine. Now that we know that it is a zombie, how can it be menacing, we are just soldiers to block it, water to cover the earth, what are we afraid of? ”
Xia Wushen praised: "What Sister Qingyi said is very true. I'm not sure if there are zombies in front of you. This corpse qi is very violent, not ordinary dead corpses can be emitted, according to my estimate, even if there are no zombies in front, there will be a lot of dead people! ”
The two of them talked and acted, and after a while, there were dots of white things in sight.
When I got closer, as Xia Wushen said, it was really a pile of white bones, scattered on the ground.
Qing Yi pointed to the white bones and exclaimed, "Little Jiusi, there are so many dead people here!" ”
Xia Wushen waved his hand, motioned for Qing Yi to wait in place, took three steps and made two steps, walked to those white bones, picked them up one by one, and examined them carefully.
After a while, Xia Wushen finished the inspection, walked back, and said in a deep voice: "It's all human bones!" Looking at the mottled surface marks, it has been dead for at least a few decades, without a trace of scars and no signs of poisoning. I think that I will either be sucked dry and die, or I will be suffocated. ”
Qing Yi said: "Little Jiusi, could it be the true body of the evil spirit?" ”
Xia Wushen shook his head and said, "According to the evil spirit, he is the unjust soul of the officers and soldiers who died in the border pass. The officers and soldiers have been on the battlefield for a long time, and there are many sores and wounds on their bodies, and these white bones have no scars on their bodies, so they are not the real bodies of evil spirits. ”
Qing Yi said: "Could it be the ghost mother?" After thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was wrong, and said, "This underground cave was discovered by accident after we destroyed the terrain after fighting with evil spirits. If it is the ghost mother's precedence, why should it be hidden so closely. ”
Xia Wushen muttered: "At this time, there are already so many dead corpses, judging by the way they died, it is very likely that they were killed by zombies!" Further down, nine times out of ten, zombies will appear. Although we are not afraid of zombies head-on, this kind of evil spirit has no humanity, you see him wantonly slaughtering so many people, and he will not talk to you about morality in the future, and the means must be ruthless. Sister Qingyi, be careful. ”
He looked at the white bones on the ground and said, "The figures we saw earlier may be the souls of these white bones!" They were killed by zombies in their lifetimes, and they had grudges in their hearts, and they did not turn a blind eye when they died, and their souls did not disperse, turning into resentful spirits and wandering the world. Since Fang Cai has not taken the initiative to attack, he has no hostility towards us. In the past, you must be careful not to touch the bones, which will anger them and bring unnecessary trouble! ”
Qing Yi nodded, and when he walked past the white bones, he remembered what happened to the evil spirit, and his heart of pity suddenly rose, and he turned around and bowed down, and said: "Ghost, ghost, you died unjustly and turned into a resentful spirit, but you didn't do evil, and you didn't embarrass us, you must be an honest and loyal person in your next life." You were a good person in life, and a good ghost in death, please bless us from encountering half a point of danger and giving birth to this hole. ”
Speaking of this, I was still unsatisfied, thought about it for a while, and said: "Well, also, I must bless me to finally find the December Flower and the Divine Pearl, cure the stubborn disease on my body, and save Sister Murong." When I return to China, I should ask someone to raise an altar for you to do it and transform my soul. With that, he bowed a few more times.
The two of them walked past the pile of bones, and walked for a while, and the whole underground cavern gradually became wider.
It was more than one zhang long and wide before, but now it is almost two zhang, like a huge corridor.
Qingyi was very curious about the zombies, and for a while, she couldn't help but say, "Little Jiusi, are the zombies very powerful?" ”
Xia Wushen said: "I once heard the young master of Xuanbing Palace talk about the ancient fish country, although the ancient fish country is only a small border country, but overnight, it was slaughtered by zombies. I think the zombies are very powerful. ”
Qingyi nodded, still in disbelief.
At this time, Xia Wushen inexplicably felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart, and the deeper he went, the stronger this feeling became.
When the fruit is not long, I feel a rotten atmosphere. This aura is exactly the same as the corpse aura of the two zombies encountered at the time of Thyme Restaurant, but it is far less thick than at this time.
Xia Wushen said: "Sister Qingyi, be careful. There is corpse gas in front, and it seems that there are zombies. This corpse is very strong, far above the two zombies in the Thyme Restaurant. ”
Qing Yi smiled: "Xiao Jiusi, now that you are cultivating diligently, what are you afraid of even zombies?" ”
Xia Wushen shook his head and said, "Sister Qingyi, let's be careful." The zombie clan is ageless, immortal, and has infinite strength, how can it be compared to ordinary people? I only hope it's not one of the eight zombies! ”
She listened to Xia Wushen relay Yao Guangdao's words, and knew that there were eight kinds of zombies, among which Mao Zombie was not very powerful, far inferior to Purple Zombie and Flying Zombie, and said strangely: "Why does Xiao Jiusi say this?" ”
Xia Wushen said: "Luo Xian girl has a grudge with zombies, and she has made a guess. Generally speaking, compared with the strength of zombies of the same level, Purple Zombie and Flying Zombie can be stronger than Mao Zombie. What's more, Mao Zhuang can't practice spells, and he doesn't have a complex thinking pattern, so he is even more inferior. It's just that Mao Zhuang is known as copper skin and iron bones, and spells can't easily cause damage, which is the weakness of our cultivators. ”
Without waiting for Qingyi's words, Xia Wushen's heart suddenly felt awe-inspiring, and he said: "Sister Qingyi, although the corpse qi is not very strong, it is very evenly saturated, and I think we have already entered the territory of that zombie." Remember, if the person you encounter is stiff, you must first seek self-protection, especially not to let his attacks reach the body. Mortisan has always been known as copper skin and iron bones, and its body strength is particularly strong. ”
Qing Yi heard Xia Wushen say that he had entered the territory of the zombie, and when he thought of what he said about the stiffness, he was shocked, and he immediately cheered up.
Xia Wushen pulled her behind him and said, "Sister Qingyi, you follow me." No matter how powerful that zombie is, I don't want to hurt you a single hair. Although the tone is the same as usual, there is a bit of pride in the meaning.
Qingyi's heart suddenly had mixed feelings, and her gratitude overflowed, thinking that it was her father, and she was also close to herself, so she didn't dare to be too close, and said: "Little Jiusi, you treat me so well." ”
Xia Wushen stopped talking, suddenly stopped, and his eyes looked straight ahead.
Qing Yi saw him stop, his heart sank, and he looked at it intently, but he saw a stone wall, smooth as a mirror, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and said strangely: "Xiao Jiusi, didn't you say that there are zombies in front?" But what's going on, could it be that we've come to the end? How can it be good to live now, do you have to turn back the same way? ”
Xia Wushen also felt very strange, not only before, but also at this time, he could still feel the existence of this strong corpse qi, and it had not been weakened by the appearance of the stone wall, but at this time, there was obviously no way out in front of him.
Before he came to the stone wall, while quietly observing it, he said in a deep voice: "This stone wall appears very strange! From the time we entered the underground cave to the point where we came, there were no forks, and the air was circulating normally, and there was not even a trace of suffocation. You know, this is in the belly of a mountain, even in a cave on the ordinary ground, this does not happen. If my reasoning is correct, there must be a mystery hidden in this cave. ”
He pondered for a while, and suddenly the sword flew out, only to hear a piercing sound of breaking the air, and the sword had been inserted into the stone wall.
This sword was cast by divine iron, and at this time, Xia Wushen threw it with all his strength, inserted it into the stone wall, and did not stop until it reached the hilt of the sword.
The sword was inserted into the stone wall, and Xia Wushen noticed that the corpse qi in the cave had skyrocketed, which was no longer comparable to the uniform and thick corpse qi before, and he was secretly shocked in his heart: "Could it be that this zombie is behind the stone wall?" Seeing that this corpse is so strong, it is several times better than the two zombies encountered in the Thyme Restaurant, but I don't know what kind of zombie it is? ”
Xia Wushen saw that he was flying and throwing the Divine Sword, although its momentum was strong, he never thought that it would be like this, and he was secretly frightened. After thinking about it, I felt that it was not right, this flying momentum would never have such strength, unless the stone wall was hollow and very weak.
Reaching out and tapping the stone wall a few times, I heard a knock, knock, knock sound coming from behind the stone wall, and then the whole underground cave seemed to start shaking, and there were clods of earth of different sizes peeling off from the top of the cave.
When Qing Yi heard the voice, Deng Jue was shocked and exclaimed, "Oops! Little Jiusi, come back soon! If there are ghosts in this, and if you listen to this sound, you must have disturbed the ghosts, and it ...... It's coming out! ”
Xia Wushen also felt that this time was extraordinary, along the way, the awe was even greater, I am afraid that there are real zombies behind this stone wall, and it is far from being comparable to ordinary zombies.
At the moment, the figure flashed, and the person had come to the front of Qingyi, first retracting the true qi that had been condensed behind him before, and then recklessly releasing the true qi again, forming an invisible barrier in front of him.
The thumping sound didn't last long before it suddenly stopped, and the entire cavern suddenly returned to silence, except for the rapid beating of the two people's hearts.
At this time, when everything was silent, I only heard a loud bang.
Xia Wushen only felt a cold wind coming, hurriedly grabbed Qing Yi, and quickly retreated, only to see the stone wall collapse suddenly, a burst of dust raised, and then a figure slowly appeared in front of everyone.
Xia Wushen blew the fire fold brighter, so that its light shone on the figure. I saw that its body was very tall, its muscles were dry and dry, its face was like scorched earth, there was no flesh, only a layer of skin wrapped around the bones, and the skin seemed to be a little rougher than straw paper, like the bark of a tree.
When the two of them saw this person like this, they were shocked and swallowed a few times unconsciously.
Qing Yi tightly pulled Xia Wushen's sleeve and said timidly: "Xiao Jiusi, you are well-informed, can you know whether this person is a ghost or a zombie?" How do you look like this, it's really terrifying! ”
