Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Valley of No Return
The Zhu family and his entourage followed Zhu Wen's mark on the map and found the valley that was called a forbidden land by the Desert Country. But instead of rushing into the valley, they first went to the nearby farmers to inquire about the valley.
This valley is called "Wuhui Valley" by the people nearby, more than 100 years ago, Wuhui Valley was different from other places, nearby residents went into the mountains to hunt, collect medicine, once they strayed into it, they would lose their way, after several circles, they would return to the entrance of Wuhui Valley.
Although it will be lost in it for a while, it will not kill people.
But I don't know when the people who entered the Valley of No Return will never come out again, and over time, no one dares to approach that area again.
After collecting this information, Zhu Youdao had a number in his heart, and he said to everyone: "This shouldn't be the work of the Demon Dao monk, if it was a demon cultivator, he wouldn't be so merciful a hundred years ago, and he wouldn't be trapped in the valley, just wait for people to go in and cause harm, I estimate that there is a formation in the valley, maybe the people who go in are just trapped in it and starve to death!"
Xie Xiaohong was the most anxious: "Just go in and take a look!"
Zhu Youdao took everyone to the entrance of the valley and asked Li Yunniang to check it first.
After a while, Li Yunniang came back and said, "It is a magic array similar to the Five Elements Mystery Array, like a dead array that no one controls, it is not difficult to break!"
Zhu Youdao nodded and greeted everyone: "Let's follow Yun Niang in, in case of danger, Xiaohong will go up to entangle the other party, we will set up a formation, if Xiaohong is not an opponent, everyone will evacuate quickly, if it is really dangerous, use the teleportation charm, everything is the first to save your life!"
Looking inside from outside the valley, there was no clue, everyone followed Li Yunniang into the valley, stepped in, and what they saw in their eyes was a different scene. I saw a thick fog rising, and I couldn't see anyone in front of me, and Li Yunniang's voice came: "Follow me, this is a maze array, there is no danger, but I don't know how to move, it's easy to get lost in it!"
Everyone entered the maze hand in hand, and under the leadership of Li Yunniang, they turned seven times and eight times, and after half an hour, their eyes lit up, and they finally entered the valley.
As far as the eye could see, there were corpses of people and horses all over the ground, broken armor, banners and weapons, everywhere.
Zhu Youdao took a closer look, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, pay attention, the yin qi here is very heavy, the corpses of these dead people are incomplete, and the blood is sucked out, it should be done by ghosts such as yin beasts or zombies!"
Xie Xiaohong is a foundation building monk, and her divine sense is strong, after she swept the valley with her divine sense, she said: "I didn't find any danger in the valley, but there is a cave at the end, and the yin qi in it is too heavy, and the divine sense can't penetrate it, so I can't detect it!"
Zhu Youdao nodded, and said to Li Yunniang: "Yun Niang, you arrange an empty illusion magic circle here to facilitate us to hide, and then arrange a Five Elements Mystery Array in front, let's go out and catch a beast and throw it in, and see if we can draw out something!"
Li Yunniang immediately began to set up the formation, and Zhu Youdao took Zhu Yunxing out to catch the beasts.
In order to test Zhu Yunxing's formation cultivation, Zhu Youdao asked him to go first.
Zhu Yunxing turned around in the maze out of the valley, and soon got lost, sweating profusely.
Only then did Zhu Youdao speak out, his knowledge of the formation was not as good as Li Yunniang, but it was much stronger than Zhu Yunxing, no one controlled this magic array, and he had lost the change, he had already walked it all over, and it was naturally unimpeded.
Under Zhu Youdao's guidance, Zhu Yunxing found a way out.
Out of the valley, the two flew into the sky, and after a while, they found a huge brown bear.
This is just a mortal beast, Zhu Yunxing knocked the brown bear unconscious with one punch, carried it in one hand, and followed Zhu Youdao back to the Valley of No Return.
When entering the valley, Zhu Youdao took over the brown bear, and still let Zhu Yunxing lead the way, although he went around a little this time, he entered the valley smoothly. Seeing that Zhu Yunxing learned quickly, Zhu Youdao was very relieved.
At this time, Li Yunniang had already set up the magic circle, and Zhu Youdao threw the brown bear into the maze array, woke it up, and used a spell to calm it in place, and hid in the empty magic circle on the side with the people of the Zhu family.
The brown bear whirls in place, roaring loudly, looking for the enemy who got it here.
In a moment, there was movement in the depths of the valley.
Xie Xiaohong was the first to notice, and she said in a low voice: "It's a zombie, it should have second-order strength!"
Second-order zombies, the level is equivalent to that of a foundation building monk, but zombies usually have no intelligence, can only act according to instinct, and do not use magic spells, and the actual combat power is usually lower than that of human foundation building monks.
But after all, it was a second-order, and it wasn't something that a Qi cultivator could deal with.
At this time, the zombie was attracted by the brown bear, and Zhu Youdao and the others saw its appearance. I saw that its eyes showed red light, its complexion was iron blue, its hair was thin, its nails were as sharp as knives, its two canine teeth were more than three inches out, and it was wearing a tattered robe.
"This zombie was supposed to be a monk when he was alive, I don't know how he became a zombie!"
Zhu Youdao said in a low voice.
The zombie went straight to the brown bear, the brown bear sensed the danger, the person stood up, and slapped the zombie fiercely with his two front paws, but the zombie snapped the bear paw, fell to the ground, and sucked blood on the brown bear.
Zhu Youdao shouted: "Get up!"
Li Yunniang had already prepared to use the array disk to control the magic circle and trap the zombies in the array.
The zombie sensed that something was wrong, got up and roared, but it didn't see any living creatures, after all, its intelligence was limited, and it didn't know that it had fallen into the trap of others, so it bent down and continued to suck the bear's blood.
Zhu Youdao came to the outside of the formation, and was about to let go of the flying knife to cut the zombie, and suddenly remembered that he had snatched a piece of jade from the demon cultivator of Yongzhou Troubled Wind Mountain, which recorded a secret method of refining corpses, this zombie has second-order strength, and it is a pity to kill it like this. If you use the method of refining corpses to refine a little sacrifice, you will have an additional combat power equivalent to building a foundation.
Zhu Youdao accepted the flying knife and discussed it with his family.
The others had no objections, only Zhu Yunxing said: "I heard Uncle you say that Yunzhou is the territory of the righteous monks, and if you accept this zombie, will it bring trouble to the Zhu family?"
Zhu Youdao shook his head and said: "Refining corpses is not exactly a means of the Demon Dao, there are also many sects and families that cultivate zombies in the righteous path, of course, it is absolutely not allowed to take the initiative to kill people and refine corpses." Besides, we won't use this zombie at will after we subdue it, just as a last hole card method, if we encounter the danger of life and death, and think about the difference between good and evil, then it will be pedantic and stupid!"
Zhu Yunxing nodded, indicating that he had no problem.
Zhu Youdao said: "First trap the zombies in the array, and I will first study the secret method of refining corpses." ”
The zombie was not very intelligent and only acted on instinct, and after absorbing the blood of the brown bear, it got up and walked around the formation, unable to find a way out.
Fortunately, as long as zombies don't see living creatures, they won't go berserk, they only spin around in the array, and they won't impact the magic circle.
