ily!” Shen Qingrui's words were sharp and aggressive.Hou Shaowen's face wasn't looking good. He said in a low voice, "Miss Shen, there's a big problem with the project I'm working on. The cash flow is...The corpse's flesh and skin, after being refined, became shrunken and withered. Its movements were stiff but its strength was enormous.
I don't know the secret method of making corpses come alive, but I heard that corpse refiners would perform some talismanic refinement on corpses to allow them to "travel far."
Besides, there are many "skills" that corpse bearers possess, such as "crossing the bridge" and "turning corners," which allow these corpses to adapt to the terrain.
Most of the processed corpses were rather robust. After the runes were removed, they became piles of decaying flesh and bones.
If it were just a case of faking death, these people from the Witch King City wouldn't be very afraid. They had already been terrified by the manipulated corpses before. Now, suddenly seeing a manipulated corpse jump out, even if there was only one, they wouldn't dare to approach it.
They are a bunch of cowards, but they're pretty good at fighting amongst themselves. I guess it's because they know each other so well and know what everyone is capable of, so when they fight over something, they immediately unleash their signature venomous bugs.
But when faced with the unknown, they become cowardly and inexperienced!
It's useless to hate that I can't turn iron into steel, I still have to run for cover.
The Dragon King should have fallen into the wellmouth of Yinlu as well, I truly hope he falls directly into chaos and never climbs back up.
A stench filled the air, and though I only faltered for a moment, my escape slowed. The gu corpse surged toward me.
It is said that places where corpses are stored, do not allow some "spirits" to approach, especially animals like cats, dogs, and weasels which are considered to have souls.
Those animals' spirits can generate bioelectricity, causing corpses to "play dead," and in some cases, even possess living beings.
The house was built on a hillside. As I stepped back, my foot slipped, and I rolled down in a tumble. Before I could get up, a wave of pungent stench hit me straight in the face.
What if I got bitten I might not care about venom or corpse poison, but getting a chunk of flesh ripped off would hurt like hell!
Just as I was about to scream for help, suddenly there was a gust of wind behind me. I ducked and covered my head, narrowly avoiding being hit by whatever was flying!
Looking closely, the flying object seemed to be a weight with a long string trailing behind it.
It came whistling through the air like a boomerang, riding on the wind, and slammed into the Corpse Puppet with a thud.
With the help of the rotating force of its flight, the "weight" immediately fell onto the corpse's body, and the line on its tail swished and wrapped around the shriveled body.
What kind of line is this The corpse puppet is actually entangled by this line and can't move!
I immediately scrambled to my feet and ran back, hiding behind a tree. I turned my head to look, and a small squad of guards was following Long Xiaogē up the mountain.
Long Xiaogē was walking in the front, he still held a "weight" in his hand, and was coldly looking at me as he turned his head.
“What is this weight How could the corpse puppet be afraid of this thing” I originally wanted to say thank you, but thinking that Long Xiaoge and I were comrades-in-arms, saying thanks felt a bit awkward.
Long Xiaoge gave me a gloomy look: "This is mo dou copper wire, used for binding corpses, not some weight."
Oh... Embarrassing.
Long Xiaoge frowned and said, "Where did this kind of ghost thing come from"
"...it's the dragon king's puppet, brought down along with the entrance to the yin well. The dragon king himself might be here! We must search thoroughly!"
Long Xiaogē narrowed his eyes: "Dragon King That's really a narrow road, falling onto my territory, hmph..."
Oh my, Dragon Brother has completely changed since coming to the Miao King City.
There were not many guards around him, only a few. It seemed that Miao Wang City was truly an "empty city."
Judging from the scale of these houses on both sides, this place must have once been a densely populated area with a long history of habitation.
Now, houses stand empty and deserted, with cobwebs covering the windows and dust everywhere, creating a desolate scene.
Although it's kind of him to leave this place empty so that I can stay here with the shaman tribe, I still wish his city was more lively. Seeing him all alone guarding this place just makes me feel sad.
"What's with that look" Long Xiaoge frowned. "You're worried about others when you can barely take care of yourself Are you all settled Did you catch all the corpse puppets"
"... I don't know how many Gu corpses there are, we might need to conduct a large-scale search." I coughed lightly.
He doesn't need people's sympathy. I'll keep his kindness in mind and do my best to help him in the future. Sympathy seems to bother him.
"Where's your man" Brother Long stuck a few suppressing talismans on the Gu corpse and turned to me, "Dealing with these Gu corpses, your man should be more familiar than me. I can only burn them and throw the bones into the White Bone Tomb... I don't know if there will be a spread of Gu poison..."
"Mu Wanchen hasn't arrived yet... He seems to be fighting with the old monster... I'll settle these people first, Long Xiaoge, please organize a search. I'm afraid some Gu corpses might suddenly come out and hurt people."
"Mm." he replied curtly.
"Oh, and by the way, where is there a bank around here I need to withdraw some money to buy supplies..."
After daybreak, I'll take you there. You should rest first. How long has it been since you closed your eyes Long Ge frowned at me.
I rubbed my eyes. How could I possibly close them in this tense and stimulating environment
Long Xiaoge turned his head slightly towards a soldier, gesturing for him to take me away: "Take her and Mu Xiaqiao into the city and settle them down properly."
In the city
Is that city on the mountain upstream from the river
Long Xiao said that after dawn, the yang energy would be strong, and those Gu corpses would definitely hide in dark places and wouldn't come out to attack living people. He let me and my junior wife rest for a while first.
The little wife and he were old friends, too lazy to be polite, she directly pulled me along and hurried towards Miao Wang City.
Unlike the Wuwang Mountain City, Miaowang City is more like a fortified village combined with a fortress, while Wuwang Mountain City is more magnificent and imposing.
The maze at the crossroads of the Wuzhangcheng is more like a formation, and the maze and towers here seem to have a stronger military purpose.
"Guests, please do not wander about freely. Some of the paths here are dead ends with traps. If you were to accidentally get hurt, it would be a bother." The guard who received us spoke in a heavily accented dialect.
"Got it, got it~ We're exhausted and just want a safe place to sleep. Don't worry, we won't run off." The little wife held my hand and said, "Let's just share a room."
The guard nodded and led us to a platform halfway up the hill.
The little wife whispered, “Last time I came here too, I stayed here. Rest assured, this place is considered very safe. The view is wide open and on top is the heavily guarded core of King Miao’s city. Ordinary people can’t get close.”
She said as she pushed me onto the bamboo bed: "Little Yin Lu, rest for a bit. Your complexion looks terrible. Even Long Ge has noticed, how come you don't take care of yourself Mu Wanchen will feel heartbroken if he sees you like this."
"Can he come back" I asked blankly.
Mu Xia Qiao was taken aback: "Of course! Why do you ask that"
"When the Seven Grandpa pushed me down the well, I felt like he was different..."
"How come it's different"
How is this different Back then, he was surrounded by a faint glow, his black hair like silk covered in frost. That wasn't my eyes playing tricks on me, no.
Here is the translation: > Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! up my steaming cup of soy milk with little interest."That's right! But this place...heheheh, it's a haunted place where lots of people live. Xu Yaqi is here right now.""What do you mean" I asked, con...
