The three of them stood outside the Black Mountain, looking at the towering ancient trees and the deep forest.
"There is a problem. There is a problem here."
There was no anger on Lu Qingmo's face at this moment, only thought.
"The mountain god shouldn't let the dead corpse in. He is cultivating evil obstacles. There must be something hidden that I don't know."
Lu Qingmo naturally knew the character of the mountain god. He was not a cruel villain. On the contrary, he was quite upright and would not tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes.
Otherwise, Xuandu Temple would have taken action to deal with the mountain god long ago. How could it allow him to get away with it for hundreds of years?
The royal family and Xuandu Temple both follow the same policy regarding the gods within the territory of Da Qi.
Win over some and kill some.
Who to win over and who to kill depends on whether they are evil.
At least that's what they do on the surface.
What the mountain god is doing now is too strange.
Did his temperament change drastically because he was about to die? "Ruoyue, where did you meet the corpse?"
"I completed the commission from the government and was about to return to town." Bai Ruoyue explained, "But the Shining Talisman suddenly turned into ash, and then I saw the man from afar... the ghost crawling out of Yunjiang. He seemed to have sensed something and ran directly in the direction of Black Mountain."
"After that, I came after him and beat another snail for my junior brother."
"What is the strength of the Hades Corpse?" Lu Qingmo asked again.
"Not very strong. From what I observed while he was running away, I'm afraid he's only at the level of just beginning to enter the internal organs."
"Only when it first enters the internal organs?" Lu Qingmo was a little surprised.
"This is not right. It shouldn't be that weak."
"It's the first time to enter the internal organs..." Zhou Qing thought for a moment and said, "I'll go. I'll go into Black Mountain and try to chase it."
"The mountain god won't let you in, Aunt Mo, but I'm only at the tendon and vein realm, and I haven't exceeded the limit."
Bai Ruoyue immediately said, "I'll be with Junior Brother, so I can take care of him."
"With our strength, there will be no danger as long as we don't go too deep."
"You go..." Lu Qingmo glanced at the two of them.
A person who has achieved minor success in the tendons and veins realm can kill two people who have achieved minor success in the internal organs realm. Now that they have achieved major success, their strength must be even stronger.
A man who can fight with a Bone Refining Realm cultivator with weak Qi and blood, his strength is self-evident.
With such a lineup, there will definitely be no accidents when dealing with a dead corpse that has just entered the viscera realm.
"Okay."
Lu Qingmo agreed. She waved her hand and the soil contaminated by the dead bodies flew up. She wrapped it in a yellow talisman and fed it to the wooden frog.
"You can use this to track down the dead corpse, but remember, put your own safety first and don't go too deep." Lu Qingmo warned: "If things are impossible, then withdraw in time. If you encounter danger that is difficult to deal with, contact me in time and I will find a way to save you."
The mountain god is trying to stop her now, but if Zhou Qing and the others are in danger, she might have to give it a try.
Lu Qingmo watched the two of them run into the Black Mountain. As expected, the power of the mountain god never appeared again, and He had no reason to stop Zhou Qing and the others.
After entering Black Mountain, Zhou Qing said to Bai Ruoyue: "Big Sister, remember to conceal your aura."
Zhou Qing had many treasures hidden in himself, and he handed one to Bai Ruoyue.
"Junior brother, what's your intuition?"
“…”
My intuition is gone.
Last month I was God.
And this month, I am the god of dreams.
“Not yet, so we have to be careful.”
"oh."
Bai Ruoyue didn't find it strange. It was just her intuition. It was normal for it to disappear. It couldn't happen every day.
The wooden frog's tongue pointed firmly in a direction, and Zhou Qing and the other man followed it.
Without the God’s perspective, entering Montenegro again gave me a completely different experience than the last time.
It was too easy to encounter wild beasts. Even though his spirit was stretched out, it was greatly restricted by the Black Mountain and he couldn't see far at all.
It is just a little farther than the naked eye can see.
Some wild beasts will become violent when stimulated by mental power, while some wild beasts are born with special abilities that cannot be sensed.
After experiencing the God's perspective, Zhou Qing felt extremely uncomfortable and felt like a "blind man".
But Bai Ruoyue didn't feel anything. This was just her normal experience when she went to Montenegro.
She has experienced "hard times" and can adapt to it.
Fortunately, they were still on the outskirts and the beasts were not very strong, so there would be no danger to the two even if they encountered them suddenly.
But this undoubtedly greatly slowed down their progress.
"call out!"
With one arrow, Zhou Qing shot and killed a tendon-veined beast that was charging towards him. After taking the arrow and capturing the beast, he looked around.
“It’s a bit strange.”
"What's strange about that?"
"We saw it when we were outside. Wherever the dead bodies passed, their evil forces would pollute the natural environment."
Zhou Qing pointed to the surrounding mountains and said, "But we have come so far and have never seen any polluted places."
"Did the corpse restrain its power on its own?" Bai Ruoyue guessed.
Zhou Qing shook his head. This was something he could only know by finding him.
As they moved forward, the two of them were very small in target, had superb concealment skills, and most importantly, were very powerful, so even though there were beasts blocking the way, there was no danger.
Going deeper and deeper, the periphery...deep inside the periphery...middle section.
"This corpse is too fast to run." Bai Ruoyue wiped his forehead.
"However, compared to the last time we entered the mountain, the density and strength of the wild beasts have decreased. Some of the powerful wild beasts seem to have returned to the depths."
"The wild beasts also know that the mountain god's good fortune has temporarily ended." Zhou Qing looked at the wooden frog.
"Apart from the mountain gods, they are the masters of this place and know it best."
No duck is more aware than the first knowledge that the river water is warming in spring.
"Although the strength of the Savage Beasts has declined, there are still many Bone Refining Savage Beasts. We must not be careless."
Zhou Qing thought for a moment and said, "If we can't find the dead corpse, then we will withdraw. It's too dangerous to move forward."
Compared with eradicating the dead and the corpses and protecting one's own safety, the latter is obviously more important.
Moreover, with the strength of the Dead Corpse, it would be difficult for it to survive if it went deeper into the Black Mountains.
After walking a little further, the wooden frog suddenly trembled. Zhou Qing was startled and immediately observed the situation nearby.
At the very edge of his mental detection, he vaguely sensed an unknown presence.
“Found it!”
The two of them hurried there and saw a cliff in the distance. Opposite the cliff was a mountain, with a distance of about twenty meters between them.
The ominous presence that Zhou Qing felt was standing opposite them, seemingly waiting for them.
The man in black is the dead corpse.
"How arrogant." Bai Ruoyue snorted coldly.
When Zhou Qing got close to the dead body, he was a little surprised.
The being opposite did not look like a zombie. Although its face looked feminine, its flesh and blood were very rosy. It looked more like a living person, except that there were black lines at the corners of its eyes.
It has no fangs and is not ferocious. Its pupils are dark green and it does not have any zombie characteristics.
The more abnormal it is, the more it represents the horror of this type of corpse.
"Dead evil corpse?"
Mingshi nodded, "You can call it that."
"Why are you chasing me?"
Because you have syrup.
"You killed those government officials at the Tieshi Village Mine, didn't you?"
"Yes, I did it."
"Stop talking nonsense." Bai Ruoyue said, "Do you think this cliff can stop us?"
She could jump over the distance of about twenty meters.
Bai Ruoyue was eager to try, but Zhou Qing held her back, and Mingshi also shook his head.
"I advise you not to try to jump over here."
"There is an Iron-winged Eagle at the Bone Refining Stage below. The moment you leap over it, you will die."
As if to prove the truth of the corpse's words, an eagle's cry was heard, so penetrating that it shook people's internal organs.
Bai Ruoyue's expression became more solemn as she felt the pressure from the Bone Refining Realm.
Zhou Qing approached the edge of the cliff, and he used his mental power to probe slightly and then immediately retracted it.
A huge eagle with glowing wings poked out from under the cliff, staring at Zhou Qing and the other man with fierce eyes, as if it would pounce on them at the next moment.
The corpse didn't say anything, but put his hand on the eagle's head. The fierceness in the iron-winged eagle's eyes eased, but it was still staring fiercely.
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
Seeing this scene, Zhou Qing and the others looked solemn.
A dead corpse could command wild beasts? This was getting tricky.
If you are attacked by an iron-winged eagle while flying over a cliff, it will be almost impossible to resist.
Warriors at the Zangfu Realm cannot fly, and if they encounter birds and beasts in the sky, they simply won't be able to fight for long.
Zhou Qing looked at the corpse. Although its aura was evil, it was somewhat different from what he had imagined.
Moreover, this corpse is so intelligent that it looks no different from a living person.
Although the corpse has spirits, how could it develop to this point in just a few days? Combined with everything that happened today, this corpse is weird in every way.
"You seem a little different." Zhou Qing spoke, trying to communicate with the corpse.
"I am still the same me, I just changed my identity and my way of existence."
The corpse said calmly, "I woke up during the first earthquake and can leave at any time."
Zhou Qing was surprised when he heard this.
How could the underworld corpse be born so early? But I had never heard of any news about him before.
"But I didn't leave. I kept waiting for Zhang Wei and the others to arrive."
Zhou Qing knew that Zhang Wei was the one who died at the hands of the Hades.
"During this process, other people came to the mine and escorted iron ore, but I didn't do anything to them."
Zhou Qing keenly sensed what Mingshi meant, "Do you have a grudge against Zhang Wei and the others?"
"We were once good friends, then became enemies of life and death, and now we have all returned to the underworld. It is all because of them that I have fallen to this point today."
The dead evil corpse stared at Zhou Qing and the others and said, "Since you two can't come over, why don't you just listen to me."
"Back then... I was also a government official. I was the first to discover the small iron mine. Since then, we have become the ones responsible for guarding the small iron mine."
Mingshi's tone was flat, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
"I got a reward and also found a piece of mother iron in a small iron mine."
Iron mother is enough to be used as the main material for martial arts and is very precious to ordinary cultivators.
"We have been friends for many years, but we couldn't resist the temptation of two or three treasures. They tricked me into going down to the bottom of the mine and murdered me."
"My body was buried by them in the deepest part of the small iron mine, which is also the place with the heaviest evil spirit."
"I woke up as a dead corpse. I have been waiting and collecting information. I know that Zhang Wei and his men will still come to the small iron mine."
"I avenged the murder that happened that year."
"What's wrong with revenge?"
Zhou Qing remained silent. He did believe what the Mingshi family said, but he didn't believe it completely either.
The corpse paused, then continued:
"I'm not telling you this to ask you to let me go. You can't catch me in the Black Mountain. No one can catch me here."
There is something behind your words.
"I just want people to know that I am not a dead person who kills innocent people indiscriminately."
"After killing Zhang Wei and the others, I haven't harmed anyone since. I always quench my bloodlust with wild beasts."
Zhou Qing pondered for a moment. If so, some of his doubts were resolved.
Why did only a few government officials die in the small iron mine at the beginning, while the other mortals were spared by the dead corpse?
Why was there no news about this corpse after it disappeared, and why did Bai Ruoyue see him coming out of Yunjiang.
"Your name."
"Jiang Wangyuan."
Zhou Qing nodded. "Good name."
"Taibai Zhouqing, Bai Ruoyue, I know you." Jiang Wangyuan said:
"They are all famous geniuses, extremely outstanding."
“Perhaps we will meet again in the future.”
"Are you really so confident that we can't catch you?" Zhou Qing laughed.
Jiang Wangyuan suddenly moved. He jumped onto the back of the Iron-Winged Eagle, as if answering Zhou Qing's question with his action.
I can fly.
But Zhou Qing did not remain silent. He raised his hand, and a Yin Fire flickered in his hand. Then he saw sparks flying around Jiang Wangyuan, but they did not fall on him in the end.
Jiang Wangyuan's expression froze and he nodded slowly.
"As expected of you, you are the number one genius in Black Cloud. I underestimated you."
If Zhou Qing is willing, the Yin Di Fire can immediately appear on Jiang Wangyuan.
The corpses of dead evildoers cannot be burned by fire, but that also depends on what kind of fire it is.
The effect of Yin Di Fire against pure warriors may be a little less, but although the body of the dead corpse is strong, it is of Yin and Ming nature and does not have any Yang energy.
The effect of Yin Di Fire against him will be no less than that against ghosts.
"What do you want?" Jiang Wangyuan asked, "Do you want to risk your life to keep me here?"
Zhou Qing shook his head and dissipated the Yin Fire.
"You go now."
"Junior brother..." Bai Ruoyue wanted to say something but stopped. Zhou Qing waved his hand, signaling her not to say more.
Jiang Wangyuan was a little surprised and looked at Zhou Qing deeply.
"Thanks. I owe you one."
"I have a piece of news for you. Maybe you will be interested."
"Oh? Please go ahead."
"After an earthquake, some monks went to the small iron mine to explore and search for corpses, looking for potential ghost zombies. I was hiding in the dark and watching them."
"who?"
"There is a day-traveling monk from the Gao family in Heiyun Town, and another day-traveling monk outside the town. I don't know his identity. The Gao family calls him Elder Li."
"Two day-traveling monks..." Zhou Qing nodded, "very useful information."
"See you later if we are lucky."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Iron-Winged Eagle flapped its wings and flew away with Jiang Wangyuan on its back.
Judging from its direction, it is going deeper into the Black Mountains.
Interestingly, a viscera-level corpse can not only control wild beasts, but also dare to fly deeper into the Black Mountain.
Zhou Qing could see very far, and he saw other flying beasts being attracted by the iron-winged eagle and wanting to prey on it, but just as they got close, they turned around and left.
The Iron-Winged Eagle obviously did not have the ability to make the other Bone Refining Realm beasts retreat.
Zhou Qing was pondering some questions in his mind. How come this corpse returned to Black Mountain as if it were returning to its own home?
On the ground, Bai Ruoyue fiercely pinched the soft flesh on Zhou Qing's waist.
"Hiss, Senior Sister, be gentle! Find a hard place to pinch, don't pinch here!"
"Just pinch it!"
