Chapter 186 Mad dog turns into a zombie?
A mass grave in the western suburbs of the capital.
This is one of the "abnormal points" that Chu Xuanyi mentioned.
The afterglow of the setting sun gave this desolate land a strange blood-red color.
The crooked tombstones, the half-exposed rotten coffins, and the lingering smell of earth and decay in the air all make this place look eerie and terrifying.
Yun Shen, a disciple of the Observatory, was walking cautiously on this ominous land with his junior brother Yun Jing and junior sister Ling Zhu.
"Brother, there's not even a living thing in this damn place. How can Prince Yu, a noble and noble man, hide here?" Lingzhu was still young and a little impatient. She kicked away a piece of gravel at her feet and muttered in dissatisfaction.
"Shut up." Yun Shen scolded, his expression serious. "Master said, the more impossible it is, the more possible it is. Activate your 'Qi Seeking Disk' and don't be distracted!"
"Oh..." Lingzhu curled her lips and obediently took out a palm-sized bronze compass from her arms.
The compass needle did not point to any direction, but was spinning wildly and irregularly in place.
"Brother, look!" Ling Zhu exclaimed in shock, "This pointer... is crazy!"
Yun Jing on the side also took out his compass, and the situation was exactly the same.
Yun Shen's face darkened.
"The earth's energy here has been completely polluted by the Netherworld." He pulled out three yellow talismans from his bosom and handed them to them. "This is the 'Purifying Heart Talisman'. Keep it close to your body! The evil energy here can affect your mind, so be careful!"
"Yes, Brother!"
The three of them pasted the talismans and continued to walk deeper into the mass grave.
The further you go in, the thicker the fog becomes and the dimmer the light becomes.
Sudden!
“Ouch—!”
A strange cry that sounded like a wolf's howl but not a dog's bark came from the thick fog not far away!
Immediately afterwards, three or four pairs of eyes flashing scarlet light appeared in the mist!
"Be careful!" Yun Shen shouted, and pulled out a peach wood sword engraved with runes.
Several skinny, mottled wild dogs with flaking fur rushed out of the fog! They could no longer be called "dogs." Black saliva flowed from the corners of their mouths, and a strong stench emanated from their bodies. There was no trace of life in their eyes, only pure, crazy violence!
"A beast corrupted by evil spirits!" Ling Zhu was not surprised but delighted, shouting, "You're just in time! This is a great opportunity for me to practice!"
She shook her wrist, and two talismans flew out like butterflies flying through flowers!
"Bind!"
The two talismans lit up with a faint light with a "buzzing" sound in the air, and stuck accurately to the bodies of the two mad dogs.
The mad dog that was hit suddenly stiffened and fell heavily to the ground, struggling and roaring continuously.
Yun Jing was also very decisive. He swayed his body and easily avoided the attack of another mad dog. At the same time, he flicked his fingertips and a small bag of cinnabar was accurately sprinkled into the eyes of the mad dog!
“Ouch!”
The mad dog let out a shrill howl, covered its eyes and rolled around on the ground wildly.
Yun Shen, holding a peach wood sword, faced the last and strongest one. He did not draw his sword, but used the hilt to accurately tap the mad dog's forehead.
"town!"
Runes flowed on the peach wood sword, and a pure masculine energy was instantly injected.
The mad dog was like being hit by a sledgehammer. It howled and fell to the ground with convulsions all over its body. The black energy on its body dissipated a lot at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In a matter of seconds, a seemingly dangerous encounter was easily resolved by the three of them.
"Tsk, I thought you were so powerful." Ling Zhu took back the talisman and curled his lips.
"Don't take it lightly." Yun Shen frowned. He walked to the stray dogs that had fainted and squatted down to take a closer look.
"Look," he pointed at the black markings on the wild dogs, "this isn't just ordinary decay; it's the result of Netherworld energy corroding them from the inside out. They've become mindless Netherworld Beasts."
"To be able to degrade an ordinary stray dog to this extent in such a short period of time...it means there must be an extremely high concentration of pollution source nearby!"
At this moment, Yun Jing suddenly pointed in a direction and whispered, "Brother, look there!"
The two looked in the direction he pointed.
In the center of the mass grave, there was a huge, completely dead locust tree.
And under that locust tree, there was actually... a person sitting there.
The man was wearing tattered villager clothes and stood motionless with his back to them.
"Hey! Fellow countryman?" Lingzhu called out tentatively.
That person didn't react at all.
The three of them looked at each other, tightened their grip on the magic weapons in their hands, and approached carefully step by step.
When they were ten steps away from the man, a strong, almost nauseating evil aura hit them in the face!
Yun Shen's expression changed drastically: "No! Retreat quickly!"
However, it was too late!
The "villager" who had his back to them suddenly turned his head!
That's not a human face at all!
His eyes were two black holes, his mouth was split to his ears, and his face was covered with black markings exactly the same as those on the wild dogs!
“Heh…heh…”
He let out a roar that was not human, like a broken bellows, and then in an extremely strange posture, with all four limbs on the ground, he crawled towards the three people like a spider!
"It's a puppet!" Yun Shen shouted, "There's something on him! Yun Jing! Ling Zhu! Entanglement him!"
Lingzhu and Yunjing did not dare to delay and rushed forward immediately, throwing talismans, cinnabar, and peach wood swords at the monster.
However, the puppet's body was as hard as stone! The moment the talisman was attached to it, it was instantly corroded by the black energy. The peach wood sword only made a dull clang when it chopped it down!
"Senior Brother! This guy is invulnerable to swords and guns!" Ling Zhu shouted while dodging in embarrassment.
Yun Shen's gaze was fixed on the big locust tree behind the puppet!
On that thick tree trunk, someone had carved a strange totem emitting a faint black light with a sharp weapon!
The style of the totem is exactly the same as the one on the mine altar!
And in the center of the totem, there was a... rusty dagger!
That dagger is the center of the pollution source! It is the core of the formation that controls this puppet!
"I'll break the formation!" Yun Shen shouted, no longer paying attention to the puppet. He stepped on the ground and his body spread its wings like a roc and swooped down to the big locust tree!
"Don't even think about it!"
A cold, hoarse roar suddenly sounded from behind the tree!
A black shadow flashed out like a ghost, holding a scimitar and aiming straight at Yun Shen's throat!
The Wugut people! They really set a trap here!
"Brother, be careful!" Lingzhu and Yunjing were horrified.
Yun Shenren remained calm in the air. He slapped the storage bag on his waist with his left hand, and a small bronze bell flew out and instantly grew bigger, blocking him!
