Youbao Chapter 43: Calculation (7)
The curses became louder and louder, and more and more ghosts appeared. Suddenly, nine black shadows rushed out of the blood pool and turned into nine balls of black mist that enveloped the surrounding ghosts.
This method is similar to the method used to refine the corpse king in the ancient battlefield of Changping. I strongly suspect that the mysterious man who controls the Demon-Subduing Sword in Changping is also a walking corpse.
Nine black mists kept wandering around, and wherever they went, ghosts were either devoured or fled in panic. The more shrill and piercing cries of ghosts echoed in the space.
I glanced at the old Taoist priest, who seemed to have heard nothing. Even the disciples of the Walking Corpse Sect below turned a deaf ear to it. Were they unmoved, or was it just me who could hear it? Thinking of the magical power of the Eight Rope Sect, it wouldn't be a big deal if I was the only one who could hear the ghosts screaming.
As a large number of evil spirits were devoured, two black mists seemed to be entangled with each other due to the struggle.
The zombies did not stop. Almost everyone was chanting quietly, with only two or three people standing aside and whispering to each other.
The number of ghosts was decreasing, and the shape of the black fog changed from fog to a solid entity. From the appearance, it was not much different from the previous corpse king, with the same green face and fangs, and was extremely terrifying.
Soon, there were only two or three ghosts left flying in the sky. The evil ghosts, unable to compete with each other, stretched out their pitch-black claws to grab their companions.
The battle between evil spirits came and went quickly. With each tear and bite, the color of the injured part would fade quickly, and the other side would become more ferocious.
Soon, only three of the nine evil ghosts were left, and their bodies had become real. They were at least ten feet tall, with horns on their heads. No matter how you looked at them, they were very similar to the evil ghosts in ancient paintings.
Three ghosts have formed, and two of the people who were originally standing on one side have separated. They have thin faces and are at least seventy years old. Each of them holds a stick that looks like iron or wood.
I was in the cave, stunned to see three extremely ferocious evil spirits being driven to the blood pool by them with sticks. The seemingly ordinary sticks had such a great deterrent effect.
As soon as the three evil ghosts entered the blood pool, the formation suddenly changed. The disciples of the walking corpse lineage who had been chanting spells retreated one after another, and the buzzing sound that filled the entire mountain belly suddenly disappeared. The blood pool began to boil, and the three evil ghosts continued to struggle, but were constantly driven away by the two people holding sticks.
At this moment, the blood in the pool suddenly exploded, and an extremely ferocious shadow jumped out of the pool and bit the head of an evil ghost.
The two old men who were originally driving away the evil spirits also quickly retreated, as if they were also afraid of the thing in the pool. I heard the old Taoist priest shouting in surprise: Corpse King!
As he shouted, the shadow in the blood pool exploded. A cloud of fog as deep as a black hole instantly enveloped the entire blood pool. The three evil spirits were silently wrapped in it, and even the several zombie disciples and zombies who were closer to the blood pool were swept in.
I saw the two old men fleeing in a panic with sticks in their hands, and they cursed a few words in anger.
The old Taoist still had no plans to take action, but his expression became increasingly gloomy.
Things were developing in the worst direction as we expected.
After the black mist transformed by the Corpse King exploded, the entire Nine-Curve Formation began to rapidly operate again. Whether it was the large corpse with red and blue feathers or the ordinary walking corpses, a large amount of corpse gas emerged from their heads, as mighty as countless black smoke dragons, sweeping up several surviving ghosts and injecting them with the Corpse King's mist.
For a moment, the entire space in the mountain seemed to be occupied by the black dragon, and nothing could be seen in the blood pool.
At this moment, a man like Tuxingsun emerged from the ground.
There was a man and a corpse. The man was wearing strange clothes and had strong muscles and bones. The corpse was as tall as a tower, and its whole body reflected a light blue light, as if its skin was made of metal.
It’s Gamu, and there’s the bronze-armored corpse!
I was about to remind the old Taoist priest, but I saw that he had already turned his head to look at Gamu. Then his face changed drastically and he shouted: Go!
Before I could ask what was going on, I saw the old Taoist priest point his hand between the five talismans at the entrance of the cave: Five Elements of Heaven and Earth, Tao changes the universe, True Fire Sword to Exorcise Evil!
The five pieces of talisman paper instantly turned into five rockets, and the old Taoist priest spat out a mouthful of blood with a puff. The blood fell on the five swords, which immediately shone with a dazzling golden light.
Seeing the five golden fire swords dancing like fire dragons, rushing down the mountain, the old Taoist turned around and ran without saying a word. I was stunned, and looked in the direction of his attack, and saw four old men driving the four white-feathered corpses that had long left the blood pool, and behind them were more than a dozen ordinary zombies rushing towards this side.
Behind them, Gamu and the bronze-armored corpse looked over here at the same time.
Oops! I cursed inwardly, what a stupid old man! He can’t even speak clearly!
What's there to wait for? Just run. But as I was running, I still couldn't figure out how I was discovered.
The old man was better at running away than at beating people. I only wasted a few seconds before he disappeared.
Damn you! How can I escape without you? I cursed.
But then I thought, does this old man think I can run faster than him?
This is too deceptive...At this moment, there were suddenly several figures around me. I turned my head and saw them, and I was almost scared to death...I guess I was not conscious, anyway, the white feather corpse that suddenly appeared beside me really scared me to death. I pressed my body against the mountain wall, not daring to move.
Although the White Feather Corpse does not have a body of steel like the Bronze Armor Corpse, which makes people lose the desire to win, it is a general, and it walks with the might of the ancients, which is terrifying.
Moreover, they all have an aura like the abyss. They are as powerful as dragons and tigers, but they seem to be able to suck away people's souls.
These are weird zombies. No wonder the old Taoist priest turned around and ran away without saying a word when he saw the four white-feathered zombies leading the way.
But what surprised me was that the four old men with the white-feathered corpse, as well as the human corpses and a large group of dozens of people behind them, rushed straight past me as if they didn’t see me.
When they were almost out of sight, I remembered that I was still in the state of casting a spell and ignored everything.
Oh, by the way, since they can't see me, I can follow them to find the exit. If the old Taoist priest wants to leave and they want to chase him, he will definitely not run around in the maze.
Thinking of this, I quickly took a step forward and chased after him: Wait for me, don’t run so fast.
Both sides were moving very fast, and I tried my best to barely keep up with them.
As I expected, I followed them and soon returned to the familiar yet unfamiliar underground passage.
The group of people had no time to open the entrance to the passage. The four white-feathered corpses silently crashed into the stone wall above their heads and soared into the sky with a loud bang. Following closely behind were the four old men, and then the ordinary zombies and disciples.
The red and blue feather corpses haven't come yet, so I guess they are still the main force. What worries me most is the golden feather corpse that has not appeared yet. Is this top-level corpse that even the old Taoist priest can suppress still hiding underground, or will it catch up and try to destroy us?
Moreover, I was almost at my limit at this time. After entering the passage, my whole body began to ache, and the invisible pressure made my legs tremble. The most terrible thing was that if I ran backwards, there was a large formation, and if I ran forward, there were all the zombies. When the old Taoist brought me here, he only dared to stop ten miles away.
Now, if I want to run ten miles away, I'm afraid I can only take the King Kong Dragon and Tiger Strength Pill.
Regardless of whether there is such medicine or not, the succinct statement is that I can’t run anymore.
When I looked up, I found that the old Taoist priest had not escaped, but was surrounded by a group of people.
The four white-feathered corpses scattered in all directions, followed by ordinary zombies. It was obvious that they had formed a formation. The zombie formation of the zombie vein was extremely powerful. The old Taoist priest always said that we should not let them form a formation easily. At the beginning, the five ordinary zombies formed a five-element formation, but the old Taoist priest used me as bait to break it before he dared to start. Now, with four white-feathered corpses leading the way and dozens of ordinary zombies supporting the formation, how could he survive with such a lineup?
This person must be the master of the Five Elements Meridian. Hearing about him is better than meeting him in person. He is indeed amazing. If it weren't for the warning from the bronze-armored corpse, we would not have been able to find your trace. We are really ashamed. An old man said. Although his tone was smiling, his expression was very serious.
The old Taoist priest looked calm and said: "I am ashamed. I am a real master. I can kill you in the mountain belly and you don't have to run out." However, how could the bronze-armored corpse find me who was hiding my tracks with the Five Elements Avenue?
Even the masters don’t know, let alone us. Now the most clear thing is that you will die here, said the old man with white beard.
When I heard this, I realized that with my ability, I would definitely not be able to escape. Rather than passively appearing and being eaten by zombies, it is better to come out and die gloriously, as heavy as a mountain.
Although I feel that I am nothing more than a feather, and maybe even nothing to these people, but with the old Taoist priest by my side, I will feel better when I die.
So, I walked through the formation of corpses and showed up next to the old Taoist priest.
The people of the Walking Corpse Clan were shocked by my sudden appearance and became alert.
Why are you here? The old Taoist priest was also surprised: Shouldn’t you leave?
There is someone we haven't discovered yet. Whitebeard was even more surprised than the old Taoist priest, and he even said with his hands clasped: I have yet to ask who this expert is...?
You don't need to know. The old Taoist priest interrupted him directly.
I whispered beside him: What should we do now?
The old Taoist priest replied me with one word: wait.
What are you waiting for?
The old Taoist priest didn't answer me, but looked at the old man with white beard: "You are willing to bring out four white-feathered corpses, aren't you afraid that the thing in the pool will rebel? I'm afraid those red and blue corpses can't completely suppress it."
There is no need for the master to worry about this. Another old man said: There is a golden-winged corpse at the foot of the mountain to suppress it, no matter how powerful it is, it cannot use it.
No wonder. The old Taoist sneered: I was wondering how Gamu could be so bold to bring the newly formed bronze-armored corpse to devour the corpse king. It turns out that he relies on the golden-feathered corpse to take charge.
However, three of your four Heavenly Corpses are making big moves. What are you trying to achieve? What promise did Gamu give you to make the three famous Heavenly Corpses willing to be slaves to others?
Of course I can’t tell you this. Maybe, after going to the underworld, I can ask the King of Hell for clarification. The old man with white beard said.
