Chapter 50: Yin Corpse (1/2)
Many cultivators had occupied this region for such a long time. Some went to the sky while others went to the water. They nearly flipped over this entire region.
If no one discovered this abnormality, they could forget about cultivating with such brains.
Now, it seemed that not only had they discovered the problem, but they had also found a solution.
At this moment, Jiang Li was no longer the naive kid from back then. After these few months of lessons in the Cultivation Hall, although he was not confident in other aspects, coupled with his Appraisal skill, his understanding had already improved greatly.
Many basic knowledge of the cultivation world could no longer stump him.
The corpses in their hands were covered in talismans. They were formed by combining the three attributes of ”Wind, Fire, and Earth”. It was a spirit talisman trap.
It was said to be a device that was often used to guard the sect ruins and tombs of cultivators. It could be triggered and controlled remotely. Once it was ignited, the power would be extraordinary!
Therefore, it was best to avoid such things.
These were the words of the Lecture Elder.
Now, the disciples and puppets were carrying at least fifty of such corpse bombs. It seemed that they wanted to stir up some trouble.
”Don't ask so much. Find a safe place to stay. If you can't do it yourself, go find Yin Qiu from the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak. He should be hiding too.”
Elder Weng Sanqi clearly did not want to speak with him anymore. After reminding him, he led the disciples and puppets towards the river.
His short figure appeared extraordinary at this moment. Dozens of puppets behind him cried or laughed as they surrounded him, forming a strange array.
Above the river, the wide surface of the water glistened under the night light. There were at least hundreds of cultivators, some flying in the sky and some stepping on the water, waiting in the sky above the Mother River.
”There's a full moon tonight. I'm afraid there will be a decisive battle!”
Jiang Li did not know how powerful a Golden Core zombie demon was. At the very least, he was not interested in experiencing it personally at the moment.
Jiang Li decisively stood up, patted his bottom, and turned around to leave. He jumped into the forest beside the river in a few steps, and his figure flew into the dense forest. Some of the obstructions in the vines were knocked over by him, and his speed kept rising.
After running for a few minutes, he jumped onto the treetop. With his eyesight that was several times that of others, he could barely see the Mother River.
Only then did Jiang Li stop. He hurriedly found a tree hole and strangled a large snake inside before hurriedly entering to continue meditating.
His consciousness returned to the black zombie's location. However, he looked around and saw that there were either bones or corpses. There was nothing that could be used as a defensive shelter.
He did not know what to do, so he squatted down and used the foot-long zombie nails to quickly dig up the bones and corpses on the ground.
Bones and corpses with an overall structure were obviously easier to dig than dirt.
Soon, he dug a small hole for it. He controlled the black zombie to jump down and started to dig around. He placed the surrounding corpses on his body and completed the disguise.
Through the gaps in the bones, he could still see the situation outside.
While Jiang Li was digging the hole, the cultivators above the river finally began to move.
The leaders of the major sects issued the orders.
One corpse after another was thrown into the river. Plop. Plop. After splashing around, they sank into the water.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes… Time passed slowly, but the cultivators above the river were confident and continued to throw corpses into the river.
It was a wonder where they had gotten so many corpses.
The corpses of wild beasts were easy to get, and it was not difficult for a group of cultivators to do so, but could it be that those 500 human corpses were all prisoners?
As the ”bait” corpses were thrown in, above the river, the cultivators could not sense anything, but the black zombie in the underwater graveyard felt the entire world start to tremble slightly.
The source of the tremor was underground!
”Something is coming out!”
In the next moment, more than a hundred huge tentacles that were as thick as a person's arms shot out from under the riverbed covered in bones!
It was as if a demonic dragon was dancing. The huge tentacles only stretched out a few times before stirring up the entire underwater graveyard to become turbid.
Countless ghost flames floated along with the flow of the water. From the black zombie's perspective, it looked like a parade of hundred demons.
Jiang Li originally already felt that the black zombie was going to die this time, but those huge tentacles ignored it. Instead, they began to continuously extend, as if they were attracted by something, reaching towards the pitch-black top of the underwater graveyard.
These tentacles were small in size and their tips were only as thick as a child's arm. After reaching a height of a hundred meters, they pierced into a layer of pitch-black liquid.
So it seemed that the top of this place was not solid?
This liquid stratification structure was probably very similar to the ”thermocline” geological phenomenon on Earth in his previous life.
Between the upper and lower layers, due to the huge difference in temperature, there was a discontinuity in pressure.
The high pressure below supported the liquid layer in the middle, forming another layer of riverbed. As time passed, the upper layer of the riverbed became stiff and solid, completely separating the two water regions into several completely unrelated ecosystems.
This was probably the reason why the underwater graveyard was formed.
A moment later, the tentacle retreated into the sky above the liquid body. It pulled down a corpse covered in yellow talismans!
