"Senior sister, this isn't a solution," Wen Yuzhao called out as she turned around.
Liu Zheng also knew that things couldn't continue like this.
She remembered that the corpses were most afraid of fire.
But she has both ice and lightning spiritual roots, while her second junior brother has a wood spiritual root.
"Junior brother, activate your palm fire and burn them!" Liu Zheng put the heavy sword back and activated his palm fire as well.
The fire in his palm gathered into a fireball.
Fireballs were launched one after another.
However, without the added power of spiritual roots, it can only delay, not completely burn these corpses to death.
Gingerbread's eyes widened. "The fireball worked!"
She spread her hands, one fireball in her left palm and one fireball in her right palm.
"You should have said so earlier! I have plenty of these!"
"Bang! Bang!"
Gingerbread is served with both hands, alternating.
Fireballs rained down on the corpse's head one after another.
The shadowy, crawling corpses died in the raging flames.
Liu Zheng turned around in surprise, "Junior Sister, is your palm fire that powerful?"
"What?" Gingerbread was too excited when she smashed it. "Senior sister, speak louder! I can't hear you!"
The sound of a fireball being thrown.
The sound of the corpse screaming and howling.
In addition, there was the sound of Wen Yuzhao whipping the corpse with vines.
The scene was incredibly chaotic.
A lot of trouble.
The number of corpses gradually decreased.
Gingerbread swallowed the Rejuvenation Pill and quickly recovered its spiritual power.
"Junior Sister!" Liu Zheng turned around and said in surprise, "Thanks to your fireball."
"Senior sister, I have five spiritual roots. I've been researching weapon crafting lately, and my palm fire is a bit more powerful than yours." Jiang Bingbing held a fireball in her left hand and rested her right hand on her knee, panting.
Wen Yuzhao smiled faintly, but there was no smile in his eyes as he said, "People used to say that the five spiritual roots were the worst mixed spiritual roots, but I never expected that they would have such wonderful uses. Junior sister has become smarter and smarter after months of seclusion."
Gingerbread's lips twitched slightly.
The second senior brother's tone is suggesting he's about to turn evil.
She turned the last fireball around and threw it at her feet, "accidentally" burning her own skirt.
"Oh no! Senior sister, save me! Save me!"
Gingerbread fluttered around in place.
Liu Zheng turned around and used ice magic to extinguish the fire for her.
Looking at Jiang Bingbing's foolish appearance, Wen Yuzhao's eyes filled with confusion. Was he overthinking things again?
He glanced at Wen Yuzhao and saw that he looked perfectly normal.
Gingerbread secretly breathed a sigh of relief, moved her charred shoes, and thought to herself: Acting is really tiring!
The zombies were completely wiped out.
The three of them rested on the spot.
“There are hordes of corpses here, so the Corpse King must be nearby,” Liu Zheng said, looking around.
Gingerbread leaned against the rock and looked back at the steaming blood. "Senior sisters and senior brothers, look!"
The two of them turned around at the same time.
Seven or eight more corpses floated to the surface from the blood plasma in the abyss.
Wen Yuzhao lowered his eyes, "They are all at the Golden Core stage."
"The Corpse King has devoured so many cultivators' golden cores, I wonder what realm it has reached now." Liu Zheng's brows furrowed with worry. "I'll send a message to the sect leader to send reinforcements."
Wen Yuzhao: "Okay."
Jiang Bingbing secretly observed Wen Yuzhao, but the latter did not show his emotions, so she could not figure out what was going on.
After sending a message to Sect Leader Wuya, Liu Zheng suggested, "Let's investigate further in the direction the corpse man came from."
Jiang Bingbing and Wen Yuzhao nodded.
The area around the Bloodthirsty Abyss was oppressively bloody, and we walked south for dozens of miles, stumbling along the way.
Besides finding a pile of bones.
No other useful clues were found.
It's getting late.
Just as they were about to head back, Wen Yuzhao pointed to a stone statue not far away and asked, "What's that?"
A stone statue stood atop the cliff.
Gingerbread stared in shock.
The stone statue is ten zhang tall and looks like a bird.
Surprisingly, it has nine heads.
Each head has different facial features, and looking further down, the bird bodies attached to the heads are also quite strange.
The lower half of the stone statue is incomplete.
Liu Zheng: "It should be a type of demon cultivator."
"Why don't we go take a look?" Wen Yuzhao touched his nose. "I feel like we might find some clues."
An alarm bell rang in Gingerbread's mind, summoning the Burning Annihilation.
"Xiao Jue, Xiao Jue, is that stone statue dangerous?"
"..." Fen Jue's lips tightened into a straight line. "How dare you! What did you call me?"
"I was wrong, please tell me!"
He was quickly appeased, "She looks like Jiufeng."
"Nine Phoenixes?" Jiang Bingbing asked.
"Yes, if I remember correctly, before I ascended, Jiufeng had a very high status in the demon realm."
"Okay, bolt Q!"
Fen Jue had no idea what Gingerbread was spouting again, so he suggested in a deep voice, "Since there's no danger to his life, let's go with the flow and see what he's up to."
"I see."
...
Liu Zheng is still considering Wen Yuzhao's proposal.
"Senior sister, let's go take a look!" Jiang Bingbing said with a smile, linking her arm with Liu Zheng's. "Senior brother, you lead the way."
Wen Yuzhao nodded.
They were even more awestruck when they got to the statue.
The heads of the stone statues are not only different, but each head has unique facial features.
The bird's head drooped.
His pupils looked at the ground with disdain.
Gingerbread felt inexplicably looked down upon.
Wen Yuzhao placed his right hand on the base, his fingertips tracing a path, and walked alone behind the stone statue.
Just as Gingerbread was considering whether to follow, a sharp cry suddenly reached its ears.
Its chirping is extremely shrill.
Hearing this made her feel dizzy and nauseous.
She clutched her head with both hands, struggling in agony.
Liu Zheng had already fainted on the ground.
Just a second before Gingerbread collapsed to the ground, she saw Wen Yuzhao slash Liu Zheng's palm.
