749 The Old Corpse in the Desolate Mountain (Part 2)
Watching Lin Yu being struck and sent flying by the old corpse in the desolate mountain, Ouyang Zhenghao was consumed with anxiety, a rage blazing within him. "Lin Yu!" he screamed, his voice filled with anxiety and worry. Fear and anger mingled within him at this moment: fear for Lin Yu's misfortune, anger for the old corpse in the desolate mountain. But he knew there was no time for hesitation; he had to act now.
He rushed towards the old corpse in the desolate mountain like an angry tiger, reckless. The weapon in his hand shone with a strange and bright light, which was particularly dazzling in the dark cave, as if it could dispel all evil. The old corpse in the desolate mountain seemed to sense Ouyang Zhenghao's threat and temporarily gave up attacking Lin Yu. He turned to face Ouyang Zhenghao and let out a low and angry roar. The sound was like coming from the abyss of hell, full of endless malice.
Ouyang Zhenghao showed no fear. He nimbly dodged the wielding claws of the old corpse in the desolate mountain. Each sweep of its claws created a powerful gust of wind, like a sharp blade slicing through the air. He stared intently at the old corpse in the desolate mountain, his mind constantly pondering a strategy. "Although this old corpse is powerful, I must not retreat. I must buy Lin Yu time and find a way to defeat it once and for all," he gritted his teeth, encouraging himself.
Seizing a gap in the old corpse's attack, Ouyang Zhenghao leaped to his feet, his weapon raised high. With all his might, he stabbed the corpse's neck wound. "Go to hell!" he roared, his voice echoing through the cave. The weapon pierced the wound with pinpoint accuracy, and green blood gushed out like a fountain, splattering Ouyang Zhenghao's face and body. The blood emanated a sickening stench, like a mixture of thousands of decaying substances, but Ouyang Zhenghao couldn't care less.
The old corpse in the desolate mountain let out a shrill scream, a cry that seemed to pierce the soul, sending shivers down the spines of everyone present. It twisted its body frantically, trying to throw Ouyang Zhenghao off. Ouyang Zhenghao held onto the corpse tightly, his legs clamped around its arms. No matter how the corpse struggled, he refused to let go. He continued to thrust his weapon deeper into the corpse's neck, his body trembling violently with each thrust.
Taking advantage of the moment when Ouyang Zhenghao restrained the old corpse in the desolate mountain, Lin Yu, enduring the excruciating pain, struggled to his feet. A trace of blood still clung to the corner of his mouth, his face pale as paper, but his eyes held a resolute look. "Everyone, attack together! Take advantage of this opportunity and completely destroy it!" he shouted, his voice hoarse with pain but filled with strength.
Upon hearing this, the team members gathered their courage and launched another attack on the old corpse in the desolate mountain. For a moment, the cave was filled with light. The glow of the weapons intertwined with the dark green light emanating from the old corpse, creating a strange and thrilling scene. The team members' shouts and the old corpse's roars echoed in the narrow cave, filling the entire space with an atmosphere of tension and terror.
With everyone's combined efforts, the old corpse in the desolate mountain gradually gave way. Its movements became sluggish, its roars growing fainter. Its eyes, once radiating a faint green light, now dimmed. Finally, with a powerful thrust from Ouyang Zhenghao, the old corpse's neck was completely pierced. Its body swayed a few times, it let out a muffled roar, and then collapsed to the ground, disintegrating into a pool of green liquid, emitting a pungent odor that spread across the ground.
"Huh...finally solved." Ouyang Zhenghao breathed a sigh of relief, his face covered in sweat, fatigue, and a hint of relief after the battle was won. He stood up from the remains of the old corpse in the desolate mountain, his legs trembling slightly from the long period of tension and exertion.
Lin Yu walked to Ouyang Zhenghao, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Well done, Ouyang. Thanks to you this time. If you hadn't acted in time, I'm afraid..." Lin Yu's voice was a little weak, but his eyes were full of gratitude.
Ouyang Zhenghao grinned and said, "Everyone has contributed. Lin Yu, are you okay? I was really scared just now. When I saw you get hit, my mind went blank and I just thought about killing this monster."
Lin Yu shook his head and said, "I'm fine, just a minor injury. However, even though the old corpse in the desolate mountain has been eliminated, things are not that simple. There must be other secrets behind this. The strangeness of this cave, the appearance of the old corpse in the desolate mountain, and the strange behavior of the wealthy businessman before, all of this can't be just a coincidence."
The group searched the cave carefully, hoping to find some clues to uncover the truth behind this series of strange events. They discovered a hidden passage deep within the cave, its entrance half-hidden by a massive stone, easily overlooked without careful inspection. The walls of the passage were covered in strange runes and patterns. These runes took on unusual shapes, some resembling distorted human figures, others like mysterious symbols, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura. The patterns depicted bizarre ritual scenes, with people dressed in strange attire surrounding a massive magic circle, as if performing some unholy ritual.
Lin Yu carefully studied the runes on the wall, trying to decipher their meaning. His fingers gently traced across them, his brow furrowed in thought. After some effort, he finally discovered that the runes seemed to be connected to an ancient sacrificial ritual. The runes revealed that many years ago, a sinister sacrifice had been performed here, intended to awaken a powerful force dormant beneath the earth. The corpse in the desolate mountain might have been the product of this ritual. This ritual was profoundly sinister, seemingly driven by the greed and ambition of certain individuals, unleashing such a terrifying being.
