Chapter 451: Raising Zombies with Living People
There was a fork in the road ahead. Feng Tianlong went left, and Chu Runrun and the others chose the right path.
The mountains were silent, with only the sound of a few people's footsteps remaining.
The closer they got to the middle of the mountain, the more monsters appeared and the stronger they were. But with Dahei there, these monsters were driven away before they could get close.
By evening, most people had reached the halfway point of the mountain.
Suddenly, a scream came from the front. Chu Ruanruan and the others looked at each other, then immediately ran forward.
When they arrived at the source of the sound, they saw a corpse that had been drained of blood lying on the ground. The entire corpse was filled with a sinister aura.
"Shamo has taken action." Ning Xuan frowned.
"Dahei, can you smell Shamo's scent?" Chu Runrun asked.
Dahei shook his head: "Master, I can't smell it."
"Let's look for the Qianyuan Pearl first. Shamo is hiding in the dark and will definitely not confront us head-on if he lacks strength." Chu Qi said.
"good!"
Among the evil cultivators, Shamo's strength is close to that of the ancestor of evil cultivators. When he was captured, his strength had already reached the level of immortality, so Old Hong could only imprison him in prison.
Now Shamo is hiding in the dark to accumulate strength. They must find the Qianyuan Pearl as soon as possible to prevent more people from being harmed.
Thinking of this, everyone quickened their pace.
As it got dark, everyone lit a bonfire under a big tree to provide light and warmth.
"It's dark now. Now is the most dangerous time for the entire Maoshan. We all have to be careful, especially big brother. You don't have any Taoist magic, so it will be more dangerous if you encounter evil spirits." Chu Runrun said.
Ning Yu chuckled and looked at Chu Qi: "Wife, did you hear me? You have to protect me!"
Chu Qi rolled her eyes at him and said, "I told you not to follow me, but you insisted on following me. Even if you get eaten by a ghost, you deserve it."
"I can't be eaten by ghosts. If I am eaten, you will be a widow at a young age." Ning Yu said hurriedly.
Chu Qi was amused by Ning Yu's words: "Are you so sure that I will remain a virgin for you? If you leave, I will use your money to support ten or eight gigolos to serve me!"
Ning Yu's face darkened instantly, and he gritted his teeth and gently twisted Chu Qi's waist.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Chu Qi was ticklish, and was immediately broken by the pinch: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything."
Ning Yu then let go of his hand.
The two of them playing around made the atmosphere a little more relaxed.
Dahei was lying next to the campfire, and Xiaobai seemed to treat Dahei's head as a bed and liked to lie on it even when he was not walking.
The firelight illuminated everyone's faces, making it look particularly warm in this silent forest.
Chu Runrun yawned, took out the sleeping bag from her bag and crawled in to prepare for sleep. As soon as she lay down, she suddenly saw a figure standing not far behind Chu Qi and Ning Yu. She was so scared that she quickly got up.
When she looked there again, the figure had disappeared.
"Where are the people?" Chu Runrun looked at the distance in confusion.
"Ruanruan, what's wrong?" Ning Xuan asked.
"Just now I saw someone standing there." Chu Ruanruan said.
Ning Xuan looked in the direction Chu Ruanruan pointed, but saw nothing.
"Ruanruan, you must have seen it wrong. There is no one there." Chu Qi said.
Chu Runrun frowned slightly and recalled what had just happened. She was sure that she had really seen a figure, but she didn't know why it disappeared.
Everyone walked over and looked around. There were no footprints on the ground, and it didn't look like anyone had walked there.
"There are more than a few of us in the mountains. It's normal for people to pass by. Don't be too nervous!" Chu Qi comforted.
Chu Ruanruan nodded and looked back at the place again.
Chu Qi sat by the campfire, yawned, glanced at his watch and sighed:
"It's only eight o'clock. If I were at home, I'd still be lying in bed playing with my phone at this time. But now I'm actually sleepy."
"Go to sleep if you're tired. Xiao Si and I will keep watch. You can sleep peacefully."
"Okay, when the time is almost up, wake me up to change shifts!"
After Chu Qi finished speaking, she crawled into the sleeping bag and lay down next to Chu Runrun and fell asleep.
Perhaps because they were tired from walking during the day, they fell asleep quickly.
“Soft…soft…”
In a daze, Chu Runrun felt someone calling her. She opened her eyes with difficulty and saw Ning Xuan.
"Brother, what's going on..."
"Shh!"
Ning Xuan signaled Chu Runrun to stop talking.
Chu Qi next to him was also woken up by Ning Yu.
"What's wrong?" Chu Ruanruan asked in a low voice.
Ning Xuan pointed ahead and motioned Chu Runrun to follow him.
Chu Runrun was a little confused, but still followed Ning Xuan.
Ning Xuan and Ning Yu looked serious. Dahei and Xiaobai were also woken up. The four of them, a dog and a cat tiptoed to a big rock.
Gradually, I heard a grunting sound coming from the big rock.
Ning Xuan and Ning Yu gestured to Chu Ruanruan and Chu Qi to look over there.
The two men slowly poked half of their heads out from behind the big rock. After seeing the situation over there, their eyes were suddenly filled with surprise.
Under the moonlight, two zombies were lying on a living corpse and gnawing on it.
The grunting sound was coming from them.
Standing next to the two zombies was Yang Cheng from the corpse-driving sect.
It is not uncommon for the Xiangxi corpse-driving sect to raise zombies and ghosts for fighting, but the sect's ancestral teachings are that they cannot be raised with the flesh and blood of living people, otherwise they will become enemies of the entire sect.
This Yang Cheng actually let his zombies eat the flesh and blood of living people!
And Yang Cheng didn't look nervous at all. It seemed that he had been raising zombies in this way all along.
After thousands of years, the various Taoist sects are no longer what they used to be. In order to gain strength, each sect has begun to take unconventional approaches, which has led to an increase in the number of evil practitioners.
No wonder Xuan Mo would use disciples from various sects as nourishment for Shamo, but most of those who were stronger had taken unorthodox paths.
This kind of person is more nutritious to an evil cultivator like Shama than a ghost.
Soon, the two zombies dismembered a living person, and the remaining internal organs were scattered all over the ground.
If it weren't for their strong mental qualities, they would have vomited it out long ago.
"Brother, we don't know how many innocent people these two zombies have eaten. Let's take them down!" Chu Ruanruan said.
"Don't be in a hurry. I just heard Yang Cheng arguing with the dead man. Yang Cheng seems to know the specific location of the Qianyuan Pearl. Let's follow him first. Maybe we can find a clue." Ning Xuan said.
"good."
Chu Runrun nodded, then turned over her palm and conjured up a peach petal. She blew it gently, and the peach petal flew quietly towards Yang Cheng and landed on his clothes.
"Let's go back and get our things and leave."
"Um."
The four of them returned to the campfire, packed their backpacks, and followed the scent of peach blossoms.
Yang Cheng walked slowly up the mountain, shaking a bell in one hand and holding a Yin-summoning flag in the other. Two zombies followed behind him, jumping stiffly.
