Chapter 122: Scarred Zombie
Although flying close to the ground is safer and safer, you should not fly too fast and always pay attention to avoid obstacles on the ground.
But because of this, the group can still chat while flying.
Ye Zhixing continued the previous topic and said: "When it comes to the dangers in this Immortal Shadow, I know of two, one is the monster, and the other is the wandering corpse!
"Needless to say about monsters, Immortal Shadow is rich in spiritual plants, and there are naturally a lot of monster beasts. Compared with the outside world, which is a world of monks, there is no threat from monks in Immortal Shadow, and the monsters have no natural enemies. There are also a large number of spiritual plants. They swallow and practice, causing the overall strength of the monster to be stronger than the outside world. "
Li Xiuchang and the others were not interested in monsters. They mainly wanted to understand what "wandering corpses" were.
Ye Zhixing continued: "As for the wandering corpses, I only heard from the elders of the sect that many people who entered the Immortal Shadow have disappeared and never returned, but maybe after many years, someone will find them in the Immortal Shadow. traces.
"It's just that at this time they have lost their minds and become walking zombies. They act without logic. They may ignore people passing by, or they may directly attack."
"Isn't this similar to the Buddha corpses we saw in the underground palace?" Li Xiuchang's heart skipped a beat. There were two Buddha corpses in his storage bag, and he naturally made the association.
I am also worried in my heart, will the two Buddha corpses in the storage bag turn into wandering corpses and jump out after breaking the storage bag?
Ye Zhixing shook his head and said: "It's different. The Buddha corpses in the underground palace are more like corpses that have been manipulated. They can only rely on instinct and fight with their bodies, and they can't show their true strength at all.
"As for the wandering corpse, it is called a 'zombie' on the surface, but in fact it is still alive and can use all the spells and magic weapons in life. It is more like a crazy person.
"But this kind of 'madness' is different from ordinary madness. They cannot be cured, they cannot even get better, they cannot recognize anyone, and they cannot communicate. To put it simply, they are completely hopeless."
Chen Gao on the side suddenly interjected: "I once read in an ancient book in the sect that my senior in Dengxian Pavilion once grabbed two corpses from the Immortal Yin and tried various methods to feed them with elixirs. Even if they ask top medical masters to treat them, they will not be able to restore their sanity."
The female monk next to Li Xiuchang said: "In that case, although the wandering corpse sounds weirder, it is still the monster that is more dangerous."
Ye Zhixing nodded: "That's right. We can still try our luck when we encounter wandering zombies. The wandering zombies may not attack us, but when we encounter monsters that are stronger than us, they will definitely not show mercy.
"In addition, not all wandering zombies are powerful. Countless people have entered Immortal Shadow for various reasons over the years, and there are people with high and low cultivation levels. We can still fight against weak wandering zombies.
"If you are unlucky and encounter a powerful zombie, you will still have a chance to escape as long as you hold on for a while. The behavior of the zombies is usually not consistent. After attacking us for a period of time, they may go on to do something else."
Yue Chongshan said angrily, "It's best not to encounter him at all!"
"That is."
Just as everyone responded, Chen Gao suddenly whispered: "What's that in front of you?"
Everyone's flying swords and flying boats suddenly stopped.
If you look carefully, you can see a vague figure walking in front of you, very slowly, as if taking a walk.
"Wandering corpse?"
Unexpectedly, we met just after the discussion.
"We'd better retreat quickly before he attacks us!"
Several people immediately turned around and flew back.
But his nerves were still tense, and he kept paying attention to the situation behind him.
Suddenly, the female cultivator next to Li Xiuchang screamed: "Ah! He's catching up!"
Li Xiuchang was caught off guard and was startled. He quickly looked back and saw that the wandering corpse had appeared not far from them at some point.
"accelerate!"
Several people subconsciously accelerated and prepared to distance themselves.
But I heard Chen Gao's calm voice: "Don't panic, he is not strong."
In Immortal Shadow, their spiritual consciousness could not extend too far, and because of the sudden incident, they did not take a closer look at the wandering corpse's cultivation.
At this moment, hearing what Chen Gao said, everyone calmed down and stopped temporarily.
The wandering corpse quickly approached, and Li Xiuchang and others sensed his cultivation level - the eighth level of Qi training.
At the same time, he also saw clearly the appearance of the wandering corpse. He was an unkempt man with hair that was so long that it even touched the floor.
The wandering corpses still maintain vital signs, so their hair will grow naturally, but they don't know how to take care of it.
Because his hair was too long and his face was so dirty, Li Xiuchang couldn't see clearly the outline of his facial features, but there was a long scar that ran through his entire face, and even the dirt on his face couldn't cover it up.
"This guy still has a scarred physique."
"I was shocked!"
"A Qi training period scared us."
After a false alarm, everyone relaxed and felt a little bit dumbfounded.
The wandering corpse was obviously a little ignorant, and he came to the side of Li Xiuchang's flying boat. I don't know if it was instinctive curiosity, and even poked his head in.
But it stands to reason that a wandering zombie should not be curious if he is so crazy that he loses his instincts.
In short, any behavior of You Zhi cannot be explained by logic.
When Yue Chongshan saw the big head of the wandering corpse approaching him, he laughed and touched the wandering corpse's head, and then slapped him aside.
The wandering zombie didn't even fight back because he had no instinct of self-defense.
Li Xiuchang looked at each other and had no intention of getting rid of the wandering corpse.
A qi-training wandering corpse is no threat to them anyway, so why cause more trouble.
If they killed him, it would lead to something else, which would be more trouble than gain.
The nine people turned around again and continued to move in the direction they had decided, but the wandering corpse was still following them.
After flying for a while, the wandering corpse would even fly to the tail of Li Xiuchang's flying boat and stand there for a while, letting the wind blow his hair up. From a distance, it seemed as if a black flag was flying on the tail of Li Xiuchang's flying boat.
Li Xiuchang looked back... Forget it, let him go.
As long as he has fun.
Especially after flying for a long time, they did not encounter wandering corpses again, nor did they encounter any monsters. Instead, they encountered several spiritual herbs and medicinal herbs. Everyone joked that the wandering corpse was their mascot.
"This fairy shade does not seem to be as dangerous as the legend says."
Several people stopped and encountered a third-level spiritual medicine on the road.
As a spiritual plant husband, Li Xiuchang took on the job of picking spiritual herbs. Several people agreed to share the spiritual plants they picked equally, and Li Xiuchang would get an extra 10%.
Chen Gao frowned and said, "Have you noticed that we have encountered more and more spiritual herbs along the way, and the quality has also improved. Is this the first time we have collected third-level spiritual herbs?"
Everyone was startled: "Are we going in the wrong direction?"
"It seems that we have to return the same way." Ye Zhixing said.
Although it is not very obvious, they are indeed very likely to be approaching the core area of Xianyin.
"Turn around and go back." Li Xiuchang, who had just picked the spiritual herbs, turned the flying boat around.
Others had no objection, but felt that this round trip had wasted a lot of time.
"I should have listened to the instructions of fate from the beginning."
Several people remembered the branch they threw at the beginning, and they had to go in the opposite direction of the branch, and ended up going the wrong way.
However, this time when they turned around, the Qi-training wandering corpse that had been following Li Xiuchang and his group suddenly jumped off the flying boat and parted ways with Li Xiuchang and his group.
"The mascot ran away." Someone joked.
"Haha, thanks to his protection, we didn't encounter any danger along the way."
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly blew up, and sand and rocks flew everywhere.
Li Xiuchang's face changed, and he had a bad premonition.
It seemed that their good luck seemed to have run out.
Through the dust, everyone vaguely saw a giant figure emerging.
When the dust settled a little, they could see clearly that it was a monster beast that was more than two feet tall and looked like a tiger or a lion!
The strength of a monster beast is not determined by its size, but the momentum of this monster just standing there made them tremble.
"What is your cultivation level?"
"I can't tell."
"At least the fifth level, comparable to the transformation of the gods."
"I think it's more than that!"
Several people quickly communicated through voice transmission, and Li Xiuchang had already placed his hand on the mechanism to activate the flying boat escape mode.
The lion-tiger monster locked Li Xiuchang and others with a cold gaze, making them feel as if they were cast into a fixed body spell, and dared not move.
Then it opened its mouth and sucked, and Li Xiuchang and others flew towards it uncontrollably.
Li Xiuchang still had a lot of self-defense cards, and was about to use them, but saw a figure flying at a speed that could not be captured by the naked eye.
It was him!
Mascot Qi training stage wandering corpse!
Li Xiuchang and the others were a little moved. This wandering corpse is quite loyal.
Seeing them in trouble, he actually came back to help.
It's a pity that one more person can't kill this lion-tiger monster!
But the next second they opened their mouths wide and couldn't close them for a long time.
The disheveled Qi training stage wandering corpse put his hands together and pointed his sword, and with a wave of his hand, he cut out a shocking sword energy like a silk thread!
The lion-tiger monster whose specific cultivation level was unknown didn't even have time to react before it was split in two.
A golden demon pill flew out and was about to escape, but was gently clamped by the wandering corpse's two fingers, stuffed into his mouth, and swallowed with a gulp.
The scene fell into a deathly silence for a while.
Only the sound of Yue Chongshan's calves trembling constantly could be heard.
Yue Chongshan remembered that he had touched the wandering corpse's head and patted his forehead before, and his legs couldn't stop trembling.
"Wandering corpses don't hold grudges." He could only comfort himself in this way.
After killing the lion-tiger monster, the wandering corpse did not stop, but randomly found a direction and flew away slowly.
Only then did someone dare to breathe.
"Should we follow it? It's safe to follow this wandering corpse with someone to protect it." Someone suggested.
"What wandering corpse! That's my Scar Brother!" Yue Chongshan corrected, "Be more respectful in your tone."
Li Xiuchang turned around and scolded: "What Scar Brother, you are disrespectful, you should call me Scar Senior!"
Chen Gao chuckled: "Let's call him Scar Ancestor."
They used jokes to ease the tension in their hearts, but in the end they still couldn't keep up with the pace of "Scar Ancestor".
The wandering corpse's behavior was illogical. At any time, "Scar Ancestor" would suddenly get interested and kill them all with a sword.
