Chapter 4: The Living Dead
Divine arts, gods travel thousands of miles, and there is only a hundred miles away from Chongqing to build the city. It only took half an hour for Li Dan to build the city of Chongqing www.biquge.info and the gate of Yuzhu City was already in sight.
However, it was getting late, and a bright moon hung high in the air, as big as a millstone.
On the night of the full moon, it gives people a bad sense that the city gate has long been closed.
Luo Jiangshang raised his head and looked at the full moon, faintly feeling a little uneasy in his heart, like a deer in danger, his heartbeat was very clear.
He was already a monk and an immortal cultivator, and even when he was in danger, his heart would not beat faster.
However, the reaction at this time was very abnormal.
Li Dan had been away for two hours, and if his guess was correct, he had already arrived at Yuzhu City and met the city lord. However, a slightly worse plan, the gate of Yuzhu City has been closed, and Li Dan will not be able to enter the city until at least tomorrow, and after convincing the city lord, it will take two hours for the army to arrive at this cottage.
However, there are more than 1,000 puppets in the cottage, and the person called 'Sir' may have been planning how to invade the world, how to attack the city, and even fantasize about how to slaughter the city and refine the people into puppets, those zombie-like, lifeless walking corpses.
Luo Jiang couldn't sit still, so he recast his spell and infiltrated into the belly of the mountain, at least to find out where the puppeteers were hiding and find out information for the reinforcements that came later.
It's the right thing to do.
Luo Jiangshang came to the hollowed-out space in the mountains, which was still soaked in disgusting internal organs, and there was still only green light, and even because there was no gentleman and teenager there, the illuminated candles were not lit, and they looked very dim.
Although he didn't lose his five fingers, for the sake of convenience, Luo Jiangshang still pinched a trick and cast a flash spell.
This is a very useful spell that when you put a glitter charm on an object, the object will start to glow, brightening and dimming according to the caster's wishes, without worrying about revealing its whereabouts. The light emitted by the Flash Charm is not really light, but only an enhancement of vision, so it cannot be detected by anyone other than the recipient.
Luo Jiang didn't have to worry about being discovered, he only needed to boldly explore the belly of the mountain now.
As we walked forward, there were more and more transparent containers containing internal organs, and some of them were even active, shrinking one by one as if they were beating. If you were an ordinary person who came here to explore, you would definitely be scared to death.
Suddenly, there was a 'bang' sound in the air, and there was a faint stench.
Luo Jiangshang frowned, following the source of the sound and the smell.
I saw dense monsters in the distance, purple, cyan, yellow, black...... Colorful skin, all sorts of humanoid creatures, walking impatiently around in the iron prison.
They can't be called puppets, they should be called zombies.
The monsters had rough skin, long hairs on their heads, faces, necks, and limbs, and their roars were hoarse and low. When Luo Jiangshang appeared, the zombies were all facing the direction of this uninvited guest, and their eyes were constantly searching in the air.
It seems that zombies have an excellent sense of taste, but in terms of vision, they are blind.
I don't know what their strength is, and whether the secular army will be able to defeat them?
Thinking like this, Luo Jiangshang's hand movement was not slow, he raised his hand to cast a small spell, and used a camera trick to pull one of the zombies out of the iron cage.
This tiger-headed zombie, with two fangs sticking out of his mouth, creeping red and black, immediately pounced on Luo Jiangshang after leaving the iron cage, and the momentum was like a hungry tiger pounced, and in front of him was a delicious lamb chop.
However, just like this, it didn't scare Luo Jiangshang, he was a monk after all.
Lifting the mana and condensing it in his feet, he bent his knees and exploded backwards, leaving the place in an instant.
As soon as the red-skinned zombie pounced, it immediately roared angrily, pulling the hair all over the ground.
It seems that the IQ of these zombies is not very good, Luo Jiangshang is settled in his heart, as long as he figures out the strength of these monsters, see if they can be matched by the mortal army.
Luo Jiangshang won't joke with himself, he doesn't plan to let himself experience for himself how powerful zombies really are. Shooting again, the scrap metal on the ground flew into his hand, and he raised a stick to the zombie and drank it.
'Ping Pong'
The sound of the clash of gold and iron is very crisp, and the skin of the zombie is like a large iron plate. But, thankfully, the redskinned head has been dented by an iron rod, proving that these monsters are not as powerful as they seem.
However, Luo Jiangshang's conclusion is a bit premature.
Although the red-skinned zombie reacted a little slowly, when he raised his hands and grabbed the iron rod, the huge power was not at all something that Luo Jiangshang could grasp. The weapon in his hand, in less than a breath, had already been taken away by the enemy.
Then, the two-finger-thick iron rod, like bamboo chopsticks, was easily broken into two pieces by zombies.
"It's so powerful, it's like a battle-hardened veteran......"
Luo Jiang is still a little lacking in confidence, is this really something that can be matched by manpower?
As for the strength of the monster, Luo Jiangshang already had a rough idea in his heart, put his fingers together, the mana was blessed on it, and there were words in his mouth, only to see a white brilliance flashing in the green darkness. Luo Jiangshang's two fingers had turned into sharp blades, and under the traction of the spell, his fingertips quickly stabbed at the zombies.
Heart, chest, temples......
In a few breaths, Luo Jiangshang had already made more than a dozen critical attacks, but there was no other effect except for making the zombies flow a little black viscous blood.
The final blow is also the one that Luo Jiangshang has the best chance of success.
Two fingers run across the zombie's neck, slicing the entire head off the rope.
'Bang'
As the head of more than 20 catties fell to the ground, the torso of the zombie waved and swung a few times at will under the action of inertia, and slowly fell to the ground. Black blood flowed out, making a 'whoosh' sound on the dirt floor, the sound of something being corroded.
"Who?"
In the darkness, there was a loud roar, a slightly immature voice. Luo Jiangshang could feel it from his voice, and he tried his best to maintain courage in his heart. It was the assistant of the gentleman, the teenager who was threatened by the gentleman.
Then came the footsteps of the young man walking briskly.
Luo Jiang didn't have time to check the corpse of the zombie, so he stretched out his hand and waved it to send the red-skinned zombie back to the iron prison, regardless of the roars of other zombies, or how frantically they tore the corpse of the red-skinned zombie. The handprint of the underground art had already been played out quickly, and Luo Jiang was still submerged by the earth a second before the boy appeared.
The boy was on high alert, though he didn't think anyone could enter the belly of the mountain silently.
In the cottage, there are at least a dozen people in shifts, and Mr. Caretaker is doing the experiments in the secret room. Not only does it contain a variety of materials, but it also imprisons all of Mr.'s successful puppeteers. Some of these puppets were transformed from living human beings, and some were transformed from the corpses of people who practiced martial arts. Although the former is not as powerful as the latter, it is also not a monster that ordinary people can match.
The boy hurriedly examined the ground, and the black blood had already seeped into the dirt, leaving only some small holes that were potholed and corroded. These small holes are completely unnoticeable on the rugged ground. He glanced at the iron cage again, and saw that the red-skinned zombie only had a skeleton corpse, and he just shook his head and said to himself, "Another one has been torn apart." ”
After doing this, he didn't seem to want to stay with these monsters longer.
Not only because of the constant roar of the zombies, but also because of the foul smell they emanate.
Luo Jiang was still underground, taking in all these things, and followed the young man step by step, leaving the secret room and coming to a small room.
This should be the teenager's own room.
"Let me do these dirty things every day...... The big boss should have killed you in the first place, this pervert. ”
The young man was talking to himself, his expression was a little distorted, full of viciousness, and even his eyes shone with a chilling light.
"Hehe, if you want to turn us all into that kind of monster, I'll turn you into zombies first, so that you can experience the pleasure of transformation," the young man took out a box from under the bed, opened the box, and took out a black oilcloth bag, carefully opened the cloth bag, revealing two white porcelain bottles, which were the vessels that contained the 'demon flower corpse poison' in the secret room, "I didn't expect it, I have learned the formula of this poison, you don't want to see the sun tomorrow." ”
Luo Jiangshang's whole body shuddered, he didn't expect that this seemingly harmless young man was also a vicious person.
After thinking about it, I felt that the boy's behavior was not at fault.
If Luo Jiangshang is Mr. is assistant, his fate will eventually become a monster in the iron cage of the secret room, and he will return the favor in the same way, and take revenge on this gentleman in the same way, right?
This young man seemed to be suffering similar to Luo Jiangshang, which made him feel a trace of pity in his heart.
If the evil Taoist is still alive, will Luo Jiangshang's future fate be to become a dried corpse, or will he also be refined into a puppet by the evil Taoist? It seems that neither of these two endings can be called very good. However, compared to turning into a thoughtless, dirty and disgusting zombie monster, it seems to be much better.
"Oh, what am I thinking? These are all crooked ways......
The crooked and evil way blurted out, Luo Jiangshang quickly stopped, he thought of a crooked and evil way recorded in the "Guizang Immortal Classic".
In addition to the 'Yang Harvesting Technique' practiced by the evil Daoists, there are also many other evil Dao spells recorded in the "Returning to the Immortal Classics". Among them is the method of refining living people into zombies, which is a poison made from venom extracted from corpses and several herbs of yin attributes.
Luo Jiangshang closed his eyes and recalled.
According to the prescription, this kind of zombie is not a dead person, but a kind of living dead between life and death, their souls have not dissipated, and as long as the antidote to it is opposite, they can turn back into normal humans.
