Don't look.
"Th...thank you." Seemingly startled by the cold air, Feng Tianhe shivered and dared not move.
Heavy snow covered the corpses, and the ice grew thicker, sealing the bodies inside and forming ice mounds that gleamed with a cold, eerie light.
On the bare ground, a solemn stone tomb stands quietly in the center, exuding a gentle and tranquil aura.
Having used a great deal of spiritual power to collect the corpse, and to prevent the ice tomb from melting, Tu Long was gradually exhausted, and the spiritual energy in the fragments of the Dry Spirit Lamp was also completely depleted.
The eyelashes of those beautiful eyes beneath her palm trembled slightly, tickling her palm.
"Are you done yet, sister?" As if she understood Tu Longjian's good intentions, Feng Tianhe reverted to her former obedient and sensible self, only this time it was half genuine and half fearful.
Tu Longjian removed his hands from Feng Tianhe's eyes, using Feng Tianhe's body to barely support his own exhausted body.
"The one in the middle should be your mother. We'll pay our respects for a while and then leave."
"It's strange how desolate this village is, and so are the corpses. I need to go back and report to the sect as soon as possible so they can investigate this matter."
Before she began collecting the body, she had already recorded the horrific scene with a photographic bead, and freezing the body would also facilitate the coroner's examination.
Upon hearing this, Feng Tianhe could no longer contain his excitement, choked up as he nodded and ran over.
Feng Tianhe gently wiped the tombstone of the stone tomb with his small hands, and placed a pile of maltose, candied fruit, pastries and chicken legs on it.
Tears welled up in his eyes, and he was immersed in pain; the air was filled with sorrow.
“Mother, Grandpa treats me very well, so you can rest easy in there.”
“When you were seriously ill, you could only drink porridge and take medicine every day. The medicine was very bitter, so you bought maltose but gave it all to me.”
"I bought so much now, and I'm going to give it all to you... Waaah!"
“You’re no longer here. I’m very naughty, but I’m just afraid that Grandpa will no longer pay attention to me.”
“He is my only living relative. I heard that his deceased grandson was a little tyrant and unruly, and I'm afraid…”
"I'm really afraid... I'm not like him, will I be abandoned?"
"Mother...why do the people around me keep leaving me one by one?"
“Father is like that, I have never seen his face, and neither am I. I have even…forgotten what you look like.”
Tears blurred his vision, and Feng Tianhe wiped them away with his sleeve, feeling lost and confused.
"Uncle and Stone from the village are gone. Grandpa will be gone soon too. Maybe I should go with you."
"What's so great about a cultivator living so long? I'm watching my loved ones abandon me one by one, and now I'm left to fend for myself."
He suddenly glanced at Tu Longjian and whispered his little secret to his mother: "But I think I've made a friend. My sister is fierce, but she's probably not bad. She just let me feel the cold wind in the sky and then promised to bring me to see you."
"She...actually, I think she's pretty good now."
The stone tomb remained utterly silent, the soft light reflecting off the marble with a touch of warmth, as if his mother were truly listening attentively to his story.
Tu Longjian calmed down a bit and, sensing the depleted spiritual energy in her dantian, frowned.
Tonight, I'm afraid I'll have to take Feng Tianhe to find lodging nearby before returning to the sect.
Suddenly, she felt a sense of foreboding, so she waved to Feng Tianhe and said in a clear voice, "Come here, it's time to go."
Upon hearing her call, Feng Tianhe's eyes lit up like a puppy's. He suppressed his emotions and awkwardly ran towards her.
Just as Feng Tian and Sa Yazi were running over, a sudden change occurred.
He was passing by an ice mound when suddenly, a hand reeking of decay broke through the ice and grabbed his foot!
"Ahhh, what is that!" Feng Tianhe screamed in alarm as his frail body was violently dragged back by that hand, its black and shiny fingertips digging deep into his ankle, greedily absorbing his blood.
Bang! The ice layer suddenly exploded, and the corpse-turned body, having absorbed Feng Tianhe's blood power, stood up unsteadily.
Its skin was bluish-gray, and its lifeless eyes stared blankly at Feng Tianhe.
It stretched out its rotting hands and stabbed into his chest.
Tu Longjian's pupils contracted slightly; he had miscalculated!
She should have realized it sooner: the mutation of the corpses, if a powerful corpse were to be born, might be able to break through her blockade!
However, her meridians were now empty of spiritual energy, making it impossible for her to fly on her sword. The Divine Dream Gale Halberd, which she used to be able to lift easily, weighed several tens of kilograms and was now too heavy for her to lift.
Tu Longjian had no choice but to put her feet on the ground and move forward as nimbly as lightning. At this critical moment, she raised her spirit sword and slashed downwards with all her might!
"Hiss, hiss, hiss," the severed hand of the zombie monster suddenly fell off, the cut was perfectly clean, the bluish-gray flesh was still twitching, and the jet-black liquid splashed out, corroding a shallow pit in the ground.
Tu Longjian quickly pulled Feng Tianhe over. He had injured his ankle and stumbled as he came over.
Tu Longjian had no time to check Feng Tianhe's wounds; she needed to focus on dealing with the monster in front of her. So she took out a Rejuvenation Pill and stuffed it into Feng Tianhe's mouth.
"Hold it in your mouth." The Rejuvenation Pill can keep Feng Tianhe alive, but since he is a mortal, he shouldn't take it directly to avoid the medicine being too strong. He can only hold it in his mouth for now, and we'll treat him after we deal with the monster in front of us.
Feng Tianhe felt intense pain in his ankle, but he remained silent, obediently swallowing the pill and clenching his teeth.
He couldn't let his sister be distracted!
The zombie monster held the severed wrist in its grotesque, rotten, toothless mouth, a bewildered rage appearing in its empty eyes.
