53. Intelligence (3)

...... In the darkness, a few rough words suddenly sounded, and the two men mocked and cursed each other, until they were stopped by another gloomy voice:

"If the two brothers are scared, they might as well withdraw first. Either keep your mouth shut, and if you wake up the dead and ruin my business, it's not good. Or, let you become as quiet as the fourth brother and the ninth brother...... How?"

Speak softly, and don't seem to be angry, listening to the tone seems to be a junior. But the two people before were like chickens pinched by the neck, and immediately pinched their throats and whispered:

โ€œ...... Yes, yes, Fifteen Lang is right. Let's shut up, shut up!"

With these few words, several black-clothed people wearing nocturnal cloaks appeared on the periphery of the tomb mountain, and several people around them were burly and wore weapons at their waists. But one of the cultivators who was surrounded by them was thin and weak, his face was very pale under the cloak, and he coughed a few times from time to time, as if he was sick and would fall to the ground at any time.

But it was such a sick man, and the few people next to him were very afraid of him, not only were they extremely respectful in language, but they also unconsciously left him at a distance between actions, and only two strong men followed closely around unaffected. But if you look closely, you will see that they are sluggish and their eyes are dull - they have been made into corpse puppets, so it's no wonder that they will follow the same path as the corpse controller.

If you look closely, you should still be able to see that the appearance of those two corpse puppets is quite similar to that of the young corpse controller, including the living people around them - they are all related to each other!

However, these two unlucky ghosts were still made into puppet corpses, and the ferocity and cruelty of this "fifteen lang" can be seen, and the fear of several people around him is not difficult to understand.

There was no moonlight tonight, the night was dark, and in the graveyard there was no light except for the occasional flying phosphorus fire. But instead of raising a fire, they took a vial from their pouch and poured a few drops of liquid from it to rub it on their eyes, and then they were able to see secretly. It's just that the liquid effect is not long-lasting, and you have to apply it again every once in a while, which is very cumbersome to use.

It was obviously not the first time that this group had come to explore this tomb mountain, but they had seen them walking around the barren mounds and tombs, and they were very familiar with the path. Soon walked through several areas that had been explored a few days ago, and came to a relatively intact area, and then the warriors scattered separately, digging graves everywhere and stealing corpses. If he finds a suitable one, he drags it to the corpse keeper for him to choose.

- For immortal cultivators who cultivate the way of ghouls, the quality of the corpse puppet has a lot to do with the corpse as the "raw material", and after the strong corpse is transformed into a corpse puppet, its strength is definitely much stronger than that of the tuberculosis ghost. If it's a martial artist, it's even better, maybe you can keep a little bit of your martial arts before you died, and it's perfect as a guard.

Therefore, most of the monks in this world who practice corpse control techniques often directly kill people who practice martial arts, and the corpses obtained in this way are the freshest and the "quality" is the most controllable. will be reduced to running to mass graves to pick up corpses, generally speaking, they are either new rookies who have just entered this industry, there is no accumulation and no ability, even ordinary martial artists are difficult to deal with, so they can only find a corpse to use alive first. Either it was recently run out of money and randomly refined a few zombie puppets to save the emergency...... In short, it will not be a strong person.

Of course, there is also a situation - the monk adheres to the path of righteousness and does not want to kill, so he can only find "raw materials" in the pile of dead people. Similar to the Kunlun Mountain Heavenly Master Hall, Huang Chang is also one of them. However, the number of such people is very small. Most monks with normal three views are influenced by mundane concepts, and basically do not practice the way of ghouls.

But the corpse controller in front of him, "Fifteen Lang", was hugged before and after, not only was there already two corpse servants who were quite powerful and powerful, but there were also many living followers around him. Judging by his words and deeds, he doesn't look like a good person. But it still appears in this mass grave...... That's pretty weird.

And he was also quite sloppy in his selection of corpses, basically as long as the legs were relatively intact and could still stand up and walk around after being cast alive, he was selected by him. So in a short time, a large number of living dead people gathered in front of this guy, poking at each other indiscriminately.

And the few followers of the living who were in charge of hauling the corpses became more and more careful, and each time they placed the corpses farther and farther away from the fifteenth lang, lest they be accidentally dragged by the group of living corpses around himโ€”those things acted on instinct, and they would bite when they saw a living person. If he is accidentally pounced, even if that fifteen lang can control the corpse group, the danger is too great.

After dragging on for a while, the old eleven who loved to talk before finally couldn't help but speak:

"Fifteen Lang, this is about the same, right? If the scale continues to expand, I'm afraid you won't be able to control it. โ€

- The more powerful the corpse puppet, or the greater the number, the higher the requirements for the spiritual power of the corpse controller. The killing instinct of the corpse demon will eat back against the corpse controller, if his own mental power is not strong enough, maybe he will be overwhelmed by the nature of the corpse demon and go crazy...... In the world of cultivating immortals, this kind of unlucky egg who failed is never uncommon.

And if you control several zombies at the same time, the requirements for the strength of their divine consciousness will be raised to a very terrifying level. However, in most cases, the corpse controller who adopts this "zombie sea" tactic will not control it too finely, that is, drive the corpse herd to a certain place like a flock of sheep, and when encountering obstacles, it will only give a very general attack order, and how to implement it is determined by the instinct of those living corpses - most of them just rush up to hug and bite.

But even so, the number of corpses cannot be expanded indefinitely, and it is still limited by the strength of the divine consciousness of the controlling corpses. With the ability of this "fifteen lang", about a hundred or so is his limit, and no matter how much he has, he can't control it.

The dozens of corpses here tonight, plus the number they dug up a few days ago, have basically reached this limit, and the old eleven is not concerned about the other party, but is worried that if the limit is exceeded, Fifteen Lang will not be able to control it, and there will be a corpse tide demon disaster, and they will definitely be the first to be unlucky.

"And these things are of little use, for a few daring peasants can light torches, even with sticks and pitchforks. โ€

For his worries, Fifteen Lang snorted coldly:

"If the corpse tide is not on a large scale, how can it attract the attention of others, and how can we lure that Huang someone out of the city? โ€
