Chapter 31: The Gathering of Corpses
The two of them shuttled through the grave room one after the other, surrounded by a terrifying atmosphere, Su Su cautiously followed behind Zhao Jiuge, walking towards the source of spiritual power fluctuations.
"It can't be the birth of a spiritual treasure, right?" Zhao Jiuge asked lightly, the jade tube recorded that there is a magic weapon, born and raised, and the magic weapon is conceived and nurtured, and once it is born, it attracts visions of heaven and earth, and shines.
Su Su, who was still a little afraid of the surrounding atmosphere, had a heart hanging in his head, pouted when he heard the words, pursed his brows, and said angrily, "Do you have a little common sense, don't say how difficult it is to meet the Tongtian Spirit Treasure, and when you encounter the fluctuation of spiritual power, the movement is only so small, I estimate that most of the ghosts or mountain spirits in front of you are cultivating." ”
Zhao Jiuge couldn't help but have an embarrassed look on his face after hearing this, and then his eyes calmed down, the unknown is terrifying, he has not been carefully taught by anyone, and it is inevitable that he doesn't understand a lot of things.
The closer you get to the front, the more conspicuous the green light becomes, visible to the naked eye, green smoke fills the night air, and the faint smell of corpses enters the nasal cavity. Zhao Jiuge frowned, looked solemnly ahead, and took a step forward and walked in front of Su Su.
At the same time, the right hand holding the cyan long sword was gently crossed in front of his chest, and the little spiritual power left in his body quickly operated, and he felt the feeling of power filling his body, and his panicked heart finally fell.
It's just that when Zhao Jiuge was surprised, Su Su also operated his spiritual power at the same time at this time, and the faint aura of protecting the body was scattered around his body, with the operation of the spiritual power of the two, Su Su's nervous expression returned to the same as before, it was still that playful and cute, spiritual girl, just watching Zhao Jiuge take a step forward to protect herself, her beautiful eyes blinked slightly, which was meaningful.
Feeling the spiritual power of Su Su's operation, he couldn't see through Su Su's cultivation, it seemed that there was some magic weapon on his body to hide his aura, he shook his head lightly and didn't think much about it, and strode over after carefully looking around.
The further he went, Zhao Jiuge found that many coffins were all exposed on the dirt on the ground, and the black and red paint on some coffin boards had fallen off because of the years, and the smell of moldy corpses was getting stronger and stronger.
The dense coffins are placed in a circular circle horizontally, some of the coffin lids are placed obliquely, the coffins are empty, and some of the corpses lying inside can be clearly seen through the gaps in the edges of the coffin lids, and the broken clothes have been rotted and blurred.
The more the two walked forward, the softer the breathing sound, as if the heart was being squeezed by a big hand, the strange scenes and the depressing atmosphere around forced people to be a little out of breath, getting closer and closer, the coffins placed horizontally on all sides were neatly placed towards the ground sunken in the center, and the ground in the middle was no longer visible, it was a big pit, and the green light curtain around it was from here.
The two of them got closer and closer, and they didn't even hide the sound of footsteps, and the brilliant spiritual light spread around their bodies, and they didn't restrain their arrival breath at all, as if they were aware of the approaching of the living, and the green smoke in the air was still, as if frozen.
Zhao Jiuge and Su Su stood near the many coffins, their eyes firmly fixed on the sunken dirt in the middle, and if there was a change, they could react at any time.
A string of piercing shrill laughter suddenly came.
I saw that the green smoke in the sunken position gradually faded until it disappeared, and then a withered and thin figure appeared, which was more appropriately described as a dry corpse-like creature. His bare hands and face were like dead branches, only a layer of skin remained, wrinkles criss-crossed, a black linen robe clinging tightly to his body, his fingernails stretched straight about a foot or so, and they were pitch black as far as the eye could see.
Although the face is dry and thin, it is particularly white, but it is not bright, the sickly color, as if smeared with a few boxes of white rouge powder, a pair of eyes are gloomy and cold, and the lips are indeed delicate, red like blood, but the strange face is smiling strangely at this time.
The sudden appearance of this person, with his strange dress and appearance, made Zhao Jiuge and Su Su gasp at the same time, both of them are not very old and do not have much knowledge, Zhao Jiuge is okay, after all, there is a beautiful woman on the side, and he endured the nervousness in his heart, but Su Su snorted lightly, took a step back, pulled Zhao Jiuge's sleeve, and hid behind him.
Looking at the young man and girl in front of him, the thin man stretched out his disgusting tongue, and then hooked his lips, salivating, looking at the cultivation of the two of them, and couldn't help but smile and said, "I can't imagine that there are two cultivators here, and the taste of essence and blood must be a hundred times more than that of ordinary people." The voice was harsh, as if a fish bone had been stuck in the throat.
Hearing the thin man's words, Zhao Jiuge's eyes shrank slightly, and he couldn't help but feel terrified, and then shouted uncertainly, "Evil Demon Outer Dao!"
"Bah, is he a demon alien like this? Unexpectedly, at this time, Su Su's delicate face was full of disdain, and he scolded playfully.
"Yo, there's also a little sister who is watery, hey, hey, he The harsh words, as soon as the last word was finished, he turned into an afterimage with a sharp smile on his face, and at the same time there was a faint green smoke emitting from his body.
Seeing the thin man rushing towards him, without any hesitation, he stood in place and slashed lightly with a sword, not knowing the depth of the comer, Zhao Jiuge could only try it first.
"Bang" with a crisp sound of metal colliding.
Then Zhao Jiuge found that the cyan long sword that originally exuded a faint spiritual light was a little gray at this time, and there was a trace of gray smoke around the sword body, and he didn't have time to think about it, and the thin man immediately pounced one after another when he fell, Zhao Jiuge stepped forward with his sword and grabbed the thin man's hands fiercely.
"Bang, bang, click..." At this time, Zhao Jiuge was shocked to find that there were already a pair of dark and sharp claws on the pitch-black nails of the thin man's hands.
As the battle continued, Zhao Jiuge found that the cyan long sword in his hand was surrounded by more and more gray smoke, and the aura of the long sword was getting dimmer and dimmer.
"Bang Tom"
There was a crisp sound, and the cyan sword broke, and the first half of the broken sword lay quietly on the dirt on the ground, all wrapped in gray smoke, and when the smoke touched the grass on the ground, it quickly withered.
The magic weapon was broken, and the thin man's right hand disturbed Zhao Jiuge's left shoulder, cutting a one-foot-long wound, the strange thing was that the upper opening opened the flesh but no blood flowed out, and the wound was surrounded by dead gray, and at the same time exuded a faint smell of decay.
Zhao Jiuge was suddenly shocked, when he was fighting just now, he found that the spiritual power of the thin man was strange, and he was also in the early stage of the spiritual realm, even if he was injured and his spiritual power was exhausted, it would not be so that every time his spiritual power was fighting, there were still threads of smoke entwined over, constantly distracting himself, and letting the excess spiritual power wrap and refine.
Looking at Zhao Jiuge's surprised face, the thin man couldn't help but have a smug face, grinning and snorting, "You know how powerful I am, my cultivation of gathering corpses is specially absorbed by the corpse qi in the corpse mixed with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and then runs in the body, so that my spiritual power is accompanied by the power of corpse qi hahaha." ”
What the thin man said was not wrong, but what he didn't know was that when he cultivated the corpse gathering, he was also consuming the essence blood in his body, so whenever he cultivated for a period of time, he still had to absorb the essence blood of the living to supplement his physical strength, so anyone who cultivated the corpse gathering duel was this kind of person who was not a ghost or a ghost.
Everything in heaven and earth has a spirit, so the exercises created are strange, what kind of things are many, each exercise eventually leads to different attributes of the condensed elixir, and even the garbage exercises can not even be cultivated, the so-called Dancheng nine products, the exercises are the most important. Cultivating immortals is originally acting against the sky, paying attention to a step-by-step, although the person who takes the crooked path of the evil demon gains strength relatively quickly, but there are advantages and disadvantages, which leads to the imperfection of the body or the damage of the mind.
The body was injured, Zhao Jiuge's face was a little ugly, and the gray smoke from the wound was wrapped in his spiritual power and slowly refined when it entered his body, and finally disappeared, which Zhao Jiuge was not very worried, just thinking about how to deal with the thin man in front of him.
Looking through the afterglow, Su Su was standing beside him at this time, seeing that he was frustrated but laughing heartlessly, watching a good show, he didn't come forward to help at all, and saw Zhao Jiuge's afterglow sweeping towards him, with a face like you came to beg me.
Zhao Jiuge pursed his lips, and snorted coldly in his heart, he is a man, no matter how he is, he has his own pride, although Su Su will not be so cold-blooded and sincerely see that he can't save it, but he has his own principles, and then he didn't look at Su Su, and looked at the thin man with a hard head.
At this moment, the thin man pounced like the wind, rolling up a series of afterimages, and the sharp claws of his hands shimmered sharply in the moonlight.
Seeing that Zhao Jiuge ignored himself like a stubborn donkey, and was really ready to rush up with his bare hands to fight hard, Su Su couldn't help but sigh, and shouted anxiously as if he hated iron and steel, "Wood, don't you still have a magic weapon flag, use that to deal with him." ”
