Volume 1 Taoist Temple in the Mountains Chapter 44 The Dead Corpse Puppet

On the mottled and fragmented stones, a mysterious monk sits cross-legged.

His clothes were ragged, half of his feet were dangling from the rocks, and no matter how much the lava was raging below, he never moved.

The same is true when the magma erupts just now.

Cui Jibo looked at the man's back, his eyes narrowed slightly.

This man had been here before they had come down, and he hadn't changed places for so long.

Could it be that this person has figured out the law of magma eruption in this space, or is there some other mystery?

"Let's go, go up and ask!"

Xue Zhongjing took the lead, stretched out the body protection spirit shield and walked towards the man.

This person obviously knew something, and if he had asked first, he might have been able to make them one step ahead of other opportunities.

"Why did Daoyou stop here?"

Xue Zhongjing released his breath, and the breath of the second-stage upper realm was faintly released, rolling the corners of the mysterious person's clothes.

The latter, hearing someone speak, seemed to move his drooping head slightly, and did not answer.

Seeing this, Xue Zhongjing gathered his breath again and asked loudly:

"Why don't you move forward?"

At this moment, the mysterious monk finally moved, his body trembled violently, and he trembled with his back to everyone and said:

"Dead, all dead!"

Listening to the hoarse and obscure voice, as if they hadn't spoken for thousands of years, the audience couldn't help frowning.

Qi Lan narrowed his eyes and asked:

"Dead, what's dead?"

"All are dead, everyone is dead, only I am the only one."

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

The ragged monk suddenly became terrified, curled up on the stone with his head in his hands, and muttered something in his mouth.

Even if they couldn't see his face clearly, everyone could probably guess that his expression must have been very frightened at this moment.

Cui Jibo couldn't wait, frowned, and asked:

"This brother, we are from the Imperial Dragon Adventure Regiment."

"I want to ask, how did you find this stone, which perfectly avoided the eruption of lava?"

"Yes...... The captain was the first to find it, and he had already said that there was something strange in this tomb, and I didn't listen to it......"

The mysterious man didn't answer the question, and kept talking to himself in a trembling voice.

Qi Lan grabbed the key information in his words, frowned and asked:

"Captain? Who is the captain in your mouth, where is he now, and in front? ”

"It's dead, the captain is dead, and there's the mink, Aman...... They are all dead...... Woowoo woo ......"

Seeing this, Qi Lan showed a little helplessness on his face.

"He doesn't seem to be in good spirits, he seems to be crazy."

Xue Zhongjing frowned, was silent for a moment, and just wanted to ask a question again, but Ji Ning suddenly stopped him.

"Wait!"

Xue Zhongjing was stunned for a moment, and dispersed the coercion:

"What's wrong?"

"Something is wrong, look at his feet!"

Ji Ning's expression was solemn, and he saw Xue Zhongjing and the others looking at him, and with the shaking of the mysterious man's body, he could see a gray-cyan ankle exposed under his ragged clothes, as if he hadn't moved for a long time, and the blood that had been pressed was out of circulation.

"If I'm not mistaken, he wasn't in this position not long ago."

"He never left the stone, but he did."

"So why is his ankle this color, it's like ...... Dead people alike? ”

A terrifying thought appeared in Ji Ning's mind.

In the past few days, he has seen a lot of corpses, especially the one who was chased and killed by Ji Changkui, on the messy ground along the way, he could see many stumps and broken arms, and some dead corpses with hideous expressions.

This is what the color of a person looks like after death.

It seems to be a dead man.

But why do dead people speak?

Qi Lan also sensed that something was wrong, his eyes were fixed on the back of the mysterious monk, and he quietly took out a compass from his arms and sent it into the aura, and the pointer on it kept swinging for a while, and then suddenly trembled violently.

Syllable!

The compass hand burst.

Qi Lan's pupils shrank extremely, his body stiffened suddenly, and he turned his head to look at Ji Ning with difficulty.

Looking at each other, both of them had the answer in their hearts.

"Don't alarm him, go quietly."

Between a brief communication of voices, Ji Ning made up his mind and decided to bypass the location of the mysterious monk and continue to move forward.

Xue Zhongjing took a deep breath, and followed behind with an extremely solemn expression, his whole body was tense, ready to make a move at any time.

"What kind of trick are you doing, I don't understand if you understand!"

Just when Ji Ning and the others were tiptoeing forward from the side, and were about to bypass the mysterious monk, Cui Jibo in the back couldn't hold back any longer, walked forward with a calm face, and came straight to the mysterious monk.

"Hey!"

"Don't alarm him!"

Ji Ning's eyes widened, and he hurriedly reminded him.

"Hehe, I see what news you just got, through the way of transmission, you want to run away by yourself when you get the answer you want? No way! ”

Cui Jibo smiled fiercely, and asked directly and unceremoniously and loudly to the monk:

"Brother, I'll ask you a question, you'd better cooperate, or you'll look back."

"The people on our side are combined, but there are close to a hundred!"

"A hundred......" The mysterious monk cried face down as if he had heard something terrible, and his dry hands kept tearing at the stones under his feet, making a penetrating sound.

"One hundred...... Little mink, Aman...... They are all dead...... Captain ......"

"Shut up!"

Seeing that the mysterious man began to mumble these things again in a delirious sense, Cui Jibo no longer had any patience, and immediately released the aura on his body, and suddenly staggered the mysterious man.

I saw him glaring at the man with a menacing glare, and shouted at the man and asked:

"I ask you, who are you!"

"Who am I, who am I?"

The mysterious man slowly stood up in an extremely strange posture, hunched over like a spider, poked his head around, and muttered blankly.

At this time, Ji Ning and the others finally saw this person's appearance clearly.

Beneath the dirt-covered unkempt, all he muttered was a corpse that had long since been gouged out, and his mouth was cracked horizontally, as if it had been cut with a knife, and it was full of worms and wriggling

What made Ji Ning even more terrifying was that he actually saw some silk threads and rotten wood inside through the face of the corpse.

This seems to be a puppet, and it is forcibly trapped and sewn inside!

And it was only at this time that the other people in the field finally noticed a trace of strangeness.

Cui Jibo frowned, vigilantly staring at the mysterious corpse puppet in front of him, and at this moment, the wooden puppet also began to turn its head with a creak, and its body did not move, so it broke its head in a whole circle.

The eyes are facing each other.

Airplanes!

Cui Jibo's eyes froze, and after seeing the latter's appearance clearly, his scalp instantly went numb.

"Who am I...... Who am I? ”

The corpse puppet turned around in a strange posture, looking at the unfamiliar faces in front of him, and tears actually flowed out, so the wriggling and disgusting insects in his eyes also came out of his eyes, and fell into the magma with a clatter, turning into pitch-black smoke.

"Captain, mink, I miss you so much!"

"Where have you been, why did you leave me here, didn't you say that you would live and die together?"

"Captain, I'm so lonely, I'm so scared, the clothes you gave me are so heavy, I don't want to wear them, can you help me take them off?"

Cui Jibo's scalp was numb, and he looked at the monster in front of him, a little unsure of what to do.

And at this moment, the puppet stared at Cui Jibo, his breath changed suddenly, and he suddenly screamed:

"It's you!"

"It's you, traitor, you killed the captain and the mink, I'm going to kill you!"

Bang!

With a seeping hiss, the white-boned puppet seemed to let out a scream from hell, and with a wave of its bone claws, it pounced on Cui Jibo, and a fierce yin wind blew around it, blowing everyone in the field to a stagger.

"Run!"

Suddenly, everyone panicked, and they all learned that Ji Ning bypassed from the side and wanted to escape.

Boom!

Under a violent collision, Cui Jibo's body flew upside down, and was blasted out dozens of meters by the white-boned wooden puppet, slamming into the wall, and then the wooden puppet screamed and rushed to the side, and began to kill the rest of the monks indiscriminately without a goal.

"Traitor, don't run !!"

"Be careful!"

Xue Zhongjing looked startled, raised his knife and slashed out at Ji Ning's back, hitting the terrifying shadow with a bang.

The latter let out a terrible roar, and a pair of bone claws seemed to be slashed to pieces, but he was not affected in the slightest, and continued to pounce on Qi Lan on the side.

And at this moment, Qi Lan's face was still pale, and he had just helped Zhen Xixi jump onto this stable stone, his breath was vain, and there was no way to free his hands to resist.

"Get out of the way!"

At the critical moment, Ji Ning's face sank, his legs were forced, and he jumped into the air, smashed the back of the wooden man with a punch, and then kicked it in the air, and jumped in the middle with Qi Lan and Zhen Xixi.

Wobbly, barely standing firmly.

"Dead !!"

The white bone puppet roared, and rushed over with a roar, and the terrifying yin wind set off broke the aura shield around the three of them, and the terrifying aura was difficult to resist at all.

Ji Ning took a deep breath, and a little starlight condensed from the peak of his fist, protecting Qi Lan and Zhen Xixi behind him, and the blood qi of his whole body climbed to the extreme, and then with a punch, it all poured down on the puppet in front of him.

At the same time, Qi Lan and Zhen Xixi also hurriedly withdrew to another platform to open up space for Ji Ning.

"Boom!"

Ji Ning's body flew upside down dozens of meters, one leg against the rock wall, his right hand clasped a bulge, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and he almost fell into the magma below.

"I'm coming!"

Xue Zhongjing's eyes froze, and he jumped onto the stone closest to Ji Ning with a long knife, and took the initiative to attack the corpse puppet.

He could perceive that the latter's Yin Qi realm seemed to be much higher than theirs, so it was difficult to resist it with the front alone, but the physical body was fragile, and the movements were very dexterous, and he was afraid of brute strength.

As long as the tactics are right, this terrifying yin creature can't help them.

At this time, Cui Jibo in the rear also fell off the rock wall, did not fall into the magma, and looked ahead with an ugly face.

"Let's go together, don't mess up!"

The young swordsman who spoke before also had a solemn face and shouted in a deep voice.

As soon as he gave the order, several loyal subordinates immediately appeared beside him and rushed up with him.

Xue Zhongjing's aura was surging, and with the advantage of the long knife, he kept pulling the yin puppet with a few stones nearby, and his tactics were extremely dexterous, and he actually suppressed it in a short period of time, and shaved off a few white bones on the other party's body.

However, for some reason, the more the Yin Thing was injured, the more terrifying the Yin Qi emanating from its body became, the faster it was, and the more powerful it became, and several times it almost slammed Xue Zhongjing's knife head-on.

"Die!"

Suddenly, the young swordsman also arrived, he stepped on the flying sword under his feet, the fingers of his right hand were together, and the qi condensed into an illusory sword qi and slashed at the body of the mysterious corpse puppet, hitting the latter with a stumble, and then there was no other effect.

The latter roared, first slapped Xue Zhongjing with one claw, and the latter vomited blood and fell, but fortunately was caught by Qi Lan, otherwise he would have fallen directly into the sea of fire.

And then, the mysterious corpse puppet roared and rushed towards the young swordsman, and under a random and wanton attack, several people around the young swordsman could not bear to be taken out of their hearts, and the corpse fell into the hot magma with a flick of his hand.

And the young swordsman was also seriously injured in the short confrontation, and relied on a dexterous flying sword to barely break through the blockade and landed next to Ji Ning and the others.

"Dead, all dead, we are all dead, why are you still alive, everyone here is going to die!"

The corpse puppet shouted in a sharp voice, and the ragged clothes completely burst open, revealing the disgusting body inside, which was a wooden skeleton that had long since decayed, and in the thick yin qi, there were many white worms that kept gnawing at his body.

His aura climbed steadily, and in an instant, he leaped through the three realms, and the yin qi could be condensed into substance, pressing the dazzling light in the entire cave to dim.

"It's over!"

Ji Ning and the others felt a chill in their hearts, the strength of this monster was too strong, and they were not on the same level as it at all.

At first, the other party may not have fought for many years, so his movements are particularly stiff and slow, and he just has brute strength, but now the latter seems to have gradually adapted to it.

I saw him screaming and tearing at his body, his bones falling off like the skin of a wall, and all those disgusting insects fell into the flames.

The gray misty yin qi gathered, filling the silk threads in his bones, and in an instant, a complete body was re-shaped for him, he turned his head, and his empty eyes emitted a strange light, quickly locking on Ji Ning in the chaotic scene, and then let out a penetrating laugh:

"Little mink, is it you, little mink, I finally found you, but why are you wearing such heavy clothes?"
