Chapter 204 Jinjiang
When Yan Shixun felt the cold wind blowing from behind, he quickly realized that a corpse was attacking him from behind.
He immediately adjusted his posture to avoid it.
However, because there were layers of rotten corpses in front of and around Yan Shixun, Yan Shixun was trapped in it and did not have much space to hide.
Therefore, even though he relied on his strong combat instincts and experience to find a way to avoid all attacks while surrounded by enemies, he still could not completely stay away from the corpses.
There is too little space left for him.
Yan Shixun only felt a gust of wind coming from his back. He had no choice but to lean forward to avoid it.
Then, he quickly turned back and identified his location by the sound of the wind. He didn't even see the situation behind him before he had already sent out the branch in his hand.
The branch accurately pierced the top of the head of the rotten corpse behind him.
The rotten corpse opened a pair of red eyes, and in those eyes, which had long been dead and hollow, one meaning was clearly revealed at this moment: How is this possible!
How could he dodge at such a close distance? Is this guy... really a human?
But no matter what, the rotten corpse with its crown damaged could only watch its rotten body collapse rapidly.
The bones were torn apart, and the flesh and blood spilled all over the floor like a plastic bag had been cut open.
However, although Yan Shixun's agility allowed him to avoid the fatal blow from behind, he also exposed his own flaws.
The rotten corpse who had been keeping a close eye on Yan Shixun immediately found the right moment and pounced on him.
Before he could even catch his breath, Yan Shixun swung the branch in his hand again, raising it and bringing it down, spilling blood on the ground.
However, he soon realized that everything he did was in vain.
——The bones and blood that fell to the ground actually stood up again, shaking.
The human skin that fell into the pool of blood was like a balloon that was blown up again. All the blood that fell on the ground was wrapped up in it again, and it became the rotten corpse that Yan Shixun had seen before.
Yan Shixun was surprised, but he knew why the river bank he had just seen was so clean as if nothing had happened.
I'm afraid the same is true for those rotten corpses that I killed before and wanted to rush into the small building.
The blood and flesh had not been cleaned up by someone.
But...those rotten corpses are not dead at all.
After figuring out the truth, Yan Shixun's heart was filled with shock and he looked at the rotting corpse in front of him with even more vigilance.
Even though his top of the head had been shattered, he was still able to "regenerate" and looked the same as before.
What exactly are these corpses?
Or, is there something wrong with the river water?
Yan Shixun's gaze fell on the river beside him.
In a flash, he made the decision.
The several things the guide mentioned, the river, the upstream, and the chrysanthemums, actually refer to the same thing.
After all, when the villagers welcomed them into the village, they said that they all believed that their health was due to the river water, and there were large areas of chrysanthemums blooming upstream.
In this case, the abnormality of Changshou Village does not actually originate from Changshou Village itself.
——But it is upstream of Changshou Village.
Yan Shixun didn't know what was upstream, but he intuitively believed that the thing upstream was also related to the fact that the corpse could not be truly killed.
In this case, he would have to go upstream.
Otherwise, the corpses will continue to emerge, and even if they are killed they will "resurrect" and there will be no end to it.
If we don't make a decisive decision now, it will be too late to explore upstream after we have exhausted all our energy in the continuous battles.
As for the safety of the show crew...
When Yan Shixun thought of Zhang Wubing and others, he suddenly realized that he was not worried about them.
Before leaving, he entrusted the safety of everyone in the small wooden building to Ye Li, and subconsciously, he actually trusted Ye Li and believed that Ye Li would be his companion and help him clear his worries.
When did he start to trust Ye Li? At first, he considered Ye Li a possible threat and kept him by his side to observe and guard against him.
Yan Shixun was rarely distracted during the battle, and was a little confused for a moment, unable to recall where the turning point was.
Ye Li's company was so subtle and silent that Yan Shixun, who originally didn't like to have too much contact with others, gradually accepted his presence.
First, he approached Yan Shixun and walked with him.
Then he entered Yan Shixun's house and slept next to him.
When Yan Shixun got used to the presence of Ye Li in his originally lonely home, he gradually got used to Ye Li's existence without even noticing it. He even started to get along with Ye Li from Jiazifen Village and tacitly accepted the fact that he was by his side.
It was not until now that Yan Shixun suddenly realized that he had subconsciously regarded Ye Li as someone he could trust.
Yan Shixun doesn't like to have karmic relations with others, and the only people he classifies as his own people are Li Chengyun and Zhang Wubing.
But now, Yeli should be added to this list.
But, Li Chengyun is his master and Zhang Wubing is his friend.
What is Yeli?
Yan Shixun continued to kill the zombies relying on his muscle memory. Using only a branch, he prevented the zombies that wanted to attack him from even touching the corner of his clothes.
From the outside, he still had a cold and handsome face, which made people feel scared.
But in fact, Yan Shixun's heart was already full of confusion.
This was the most difficult problem he encountered - to position Yeli in his own mind.
But, the brain that could remain calm and composed even in the face of the most dangerous and cruel crisis got stuck at this moment.
It looked like a ball of yarn had been played with by a large cat using its claws, making it a mess and impossible to make sense of.
Ye Li, is it... a companion who fought side by side?
Yan Shixun blinked slowly, and his movements faltered for a moment, and he was almost approached by the rotten corpse.
Realizing that he was distracted, he quickly put the matters of Yeli behind him, regained his serious expression, and prepared to head upstream.
After I get back, maybe I can go to Haiyun Temple again and ask Lan Ze what he meant by what he said at that time.
Or when you come back, ask Ye Li clearly.
Thinking that maybe there would be someone who would walk side by side with him from now on, Yan Shixun, who was used to walking alone, felt a brief sense of awkwardness. Then, when he thought that the person was Ye Li, he actually felt a little bit of anticipation in his heart.
Yan Shixun took one last look at the small wooden building, then turned around and stepped decisively into the river.
In an instant, all the corpses on the shore seemed to be afraid of something and gave up attacking Yan Shixun. Instead, they took several steps back and moved away from the river.
The rotten corpse at the bottom of the river disappeared in an instant.
The river is not deep, and during the day it would appear to be no more than calf height.
But the moment Yan Shixun touched the river water, the originally calm river water suddenly raised huge waves and rushed towards Yan Shixun fiercely.
From Yan Shixun's perspective, the river seemed of normal width from the shore, but after he stepped into the river, it became so wide that it looked like a boundless sea.
His consciousness told him that he had just stepped in and the river bank should be right next to him.
But when he looked, he found himself in the vast ocean, like an isolated island on the sea, unable to leave.
I'm afraid this is also the reason why no rotting corpses were found on the river bank before.
Because above and below the river, there are completely different worlds. Only after the sun disappears and the yin energy rises sharply, will you see the truest appearance after entering the river.
This discovery brought a smile to Yan Shixun's lips.
Since he wants to eliminate the real source of danger that affects the village and endangers everyone in the program team, the more bizarre and strange it is, the more it shows that he has found the right direction.
A huge wave hit us hard.
Yan Shixun turned his head and looked at it calmly, reciting the spell silently.
No matter how huge the waves were, he remained motionless.
A huge and violent whirlpool formed in the middle of the river, and the water flow slammed down from mid-air, wrapping up all the flower petals on the entire river surface and the rotten corpses struggling to escape, and dragging them towards the whirlpool.
When the river water began to calm down again, Yan Shixun was no longer on the river.
The rotting corpses on the river bank stood still, dazed as if they had lost their target.
But they seemed to be afraid of the river water. Although they came out of the river, after Yan Shixun stepped into the river, they tried to retreat as much as possible to prevent the river water from touching them.
The rotten corpse closest to the river was unable to dodge, and with a "splash!" sound, it was also swept into the huge waves.
Now, the river surface has gradually returned to calm, with only ripples spreading outward from the center of the river.
But even without the cover of the petals, there was no longer any sunken corpse at the bottom of the river, nor was there any sign of the rotten corpse that had just fallen into the river.
The same kind of experience makes even the dead corpses instinctively want to hide.
Along the walls of the small building, white and yellow chrysanthemums bloomed quietly, swaying slightly in the wind brought by the water vapor.
The corpse seemed to suddenly remember something. Its originally empty red eyeballs slowly turned and actually showed vivid anger.
They turned around slowly and in unison, all looking towards the village behind them.
The entire Changshou Village has fallen into silence. Not a single sound can be heard from the villagers' small wooden buildings. It seems as if they have followed the traditional schedule of working from sunrise to sunset and resting from sunset and have gone to bed early.
If you ignore the two small wooden buildings along the river, everything seems so peaceful and leisurely.
But the rotten corpse seemed to have seen something it hated. The skin on its face, which had long been soaked and separated from its flesh, was shaking violently, as if the piece of flesh that was just hanging on its face would soon fall off.
They had ferocious and angry faces and walked slowly towards the Changshou Village.
The darkness became the best concealment color for hundreds of rotting corpses, and no villagers noticed their approach.
Only in the small wooden building by the river, the old woman who was originally hanged on the beam suddenly had her eyelids trembling violently.
Then, he suddenly opened his eyes.
…
At the same time, Ye Li in the small building raised his eyes.
He stopped and his gloomy and sharp eyes shot straight at the river behind the small building.
He could feel that Shi Xun's breath... had disappeared.
Ye Li immediately took a step forward and prepared to go to the river to look for Yan Shixun.
But just as he was prepared, he heard screams coming from upstairs.
It was the female guest on the show.
At almost the same moment, another male cry for help, mixed with the noise of heavy objects falling over, came from upstairs.
Ye Li paused in his steps.
Should I chase after Yan Shixun, or stay in the small wooden building to protect strangers?
The gods, who have long been completely disappointed with the human world, have given up on taking on life and can only watch indifferently with cold eyes.
But now something has changed.
Ye Li should have ignored it, but he thought of another thing.
——If Shi Xun was by his side, what would he want him to do?
He thought of Yan Shixun's bright and determined eyes, and the trust he showed in them.
He doesn't want to lose.
Thousands of years ago, Ye Li no longer had anything to fear. Even the great way of heaven and earth, he faced it with fearlessness and calmness.
But it was not until now that Ye Li suddenly realized that he still had something to fear.
——He was afraid to see disappointment and wariness towards him in the eyes of his beloved ghost hunter.
So, Ye Li only stood there for a moment and made a decision.
Black mist rose from where Ye Li was standing, transformed into a ferocious beast in the darkness, and pounced towards the building with a roar.
The wind brought by the giant beast passed across Zhao Zhen's cheek, cold and chilly, making him feel as if he was cut.
Under the strong wind, Zhao Zhen subconsciously closed his eyes, but he heard a scream of "Ho ho!" in his ears.
Zhao Zhen quickly opened his eyes and looked, only to see that the rotten corpse that had pounced towards him had fallen to the ground, suppressed by a ball of darkness.
The beast's sharp claws slashed across the corpse, and it turned into a pile of bloody human skin. It then spontaneously combusted without fire and quickly turned into a wisp of ash.
The staff member who attacked him from behind suddenly fainted and fell to the ground with a loud "bang!"
Zhao Zhen was stunned as he watched the life-and-death crisis being resolved in an instant.
The moment before, he was still full of despair, thinking that he would not be able to escape being attacked from both sides, but the next moment, he was still standing here unharmed, and the evil spirits that wanted to attack him died.
This is...what happened?
Zhao Zhen saw the majestic black beast with the help of the flashlight and was speechless for a moment.
The same scene also happened in Bai Shuang's room.
She had been watching the rotting corpse standing beside her bed reaching out to grab her, and the powerless fear almost drove her crazy.
But the next moment, the rotten corpse was suddenly knocked down by something in the darkness, and the strong wind that came with it made Bai Shuang subconsciously turn his head away.
When she looked again, the corpse had disappeared.
All that was left was the burnt stench that filled the room, and the black giant beast that looked down at her coldly.
The beast swung its tail, and when it saw that the people were safe, it instantly disintegrated into black mist and disappeared into the darkness.
Bai Shuang sat on the bed in a daze for a long time, and then she came back to her senses as if she was hit on the brain by a heavy hammer.
She quickly threw back the quilt and rushed to the door, not caring whether there were other dangers outside. She just wanted to check on the safety of Zhao Zhen and her companions.
But Zhao Zhen was one step faster than her and knocked on the door: "Bai Shuang, are you okay? Are you safe?"
Bai Shuang quickly opened the door.
There were still tears in the corners of her eyes, but she forced herself to hold them back and managed to stay calm: "I'm fine, how are the others?"
But her trembling voice betrayed her.
After Zhao Zhen and Bai Shuang exchanged their respective situations, he realized that something was wrong.
"Those evil spirits...are hiding in the building."
Zhao Zhen's face froze and he tried to run downstairs.
There has been no sound on the first floor, so it is very likely that there is no danger yet. He has to go and alert the people downstairs!
But as soon as he rushed to the stairs, Zhao Zhen saw a tall figure standing on the platform at the corner of the stairs.
The crows of Yeli drooped their feathers slightly, and their expressions were cold and silent.
Obviously Ye Li did not say a word, and the place where he was standing was just the most ordinary building.
But Zhao Zhen suddenly felt as if he saw a god standing on a high platform, looking down at the world indifferently and judging all life.
For a moment, Zhao Zhen's knees even went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
Ye Li heard a subtle sound coming from above. He raised his eyelashes and looked up indifferently.
And around him, black mist gathered again from all directions.
In the small wooden building, a burnt, fishy smell gradually spread.
In the dark corners that no one noticed, only the traces of ashes left on the walls proved that something once existed here.
Hearing the screams coming from upstairs, the guests and staff in several rooms became alert and hurriedly opened the doors to see what was going on.
Lu Xingxing, who was sleeping on the sofa on the first floor to protect everyone, was the one who slept the most soundly among all the people.
It was not until he felt a cold and oppressive gaze falling on him even in his sleep that he shuddered and woke up.
Then Lu Xingxing saw that Ye Li was standing on a high place, looking down at him with eyes full of disdain.
Lu Xingxing: QvQ?
