Zhang Yuanqing returned to the main hall and bathed in the candlelight, calming the pain of the recurrence of his old illness and purifying himself.

According to the time calculation, the vengeful spirit will haunt him within a minute or two. It is definitely not suitable to enter the East Courtyard and face the zombies directly at this time.

After resting for four or five minutes, his physical condition became worse and worse. He had a headache accompanied by a slight dizziness. He knew that the corpse poison was gradually eroding his body and the initial symptoms appeared.

The candlelight in the main hall seemed unable to cleanse the toxins in the body.

"We can't delay any longer..."

He wanted to take advantage of the half-hour usage limit of the red dancing shoes and finish the dungeon in one go.

Zhang Yuanqing left the main hall, walked along the cobblestone path, passed through the weeds, and arrived at the courtyard.

Standing in the yard covered with weeds, he opened the inventory and summoned the red dancing shoes.

Two dark red lights moved nimbly in the night and transformed into a pair of brand new dancing shoes.

"Choose the second form!"

Zhang Yuanqing recited silently.

The red dancing shoes once again disintegrated into a dark red glow, drawing two arcs and wrapping around his feet.

In an instant, the running shoes under my feet turned into a pair of large red dancing shoes.

This, isn’t this just women’s clothing in disguise? Fortunately, they are red dancing shoes, not high heels... Zhang Yuanqing looked at his feet with some discomfort, feeling something was weird.

He forced himself not to care about this detail, took out the corpse-suppressing talisman, held it in his hand, and amid the rustling sound of the banyan tree, he passed through the arched door and came to the east courtyard again.

In the east courtyard, wild grasses are undulating, bright moonlight is shining, two large houses stand quietly, and everything is so quiet.

He looked around carefully and saw no trace of zombies, so he walked cautiously across the courtyard and headed towards the large house that was divided into four rooms.

The wooden door of the room where the coffin was displayed had been knocked away. He didn't need to go in, but could only look inside from a distance across the threshold.

The moonlight shone in through the gap in the tiles. The corpse, the coffin, the blown-off coffin lid, and the brass pestle all remained quietly in their original places, not moved at all.

There were no zombies in the room.

"Will it go back into the coffin?"

From this angle, he couldn't see what was inside the coffin.

As he was hesitating, he suddenly found that the moonlight seemed to dim, and a dark shadow fell from the sky and enveloped him.

Immediately afterwards, the night wind brought a strong stench of corpses and low "ho ho" growls.

It, it's hiding in the tree? Zhang Yuanqing was horrified, his heart suddenly contracted, and he instinctively wanted to dodge.

The next moment, the red dancing shoes on his feet glowed dark red. Zhang Yuanqing's feet suddenly slipped, and before he could react, he slid out and plowed a trail in the weeds.

Bang!

The zombie wrapped in tattered clothes attacked in vain.

Avoid, avoid...Zhang Yuanqing hurriedly got up, surprised and happy, and put his heart back in his stomach.

The red dancing shoes were indeed magical. Their dodging ability was stronger than he had expected. With his own reaction speed, it would have been impossible for him to dodge the zombies' attack just now.

Zhang Yuanqing’s confidence increased greatly.

“Hehe…”

The zombie with hair like dead grass let out an eardrum-shaking roar, and its bulging eyeballs became more and more ferocious. It bounced its knees and pounced on its prey again.

The speed is as fast as a car running at high speed.

As the fishy wind blew, the terrifying evil creature was already before his eyes. Zhang Yuanqing twisted his feet uncontrollably, like a ballet spin, and smoothly cut out a semicircle, avoiding the sharp nails while cutting behind the zombie.

Then, he "naturally" did the splits, his body suddenly collapsed, a strong wind whistled above his head, and his two arms swept across.

Pull, it pulled my balls... Zhang Yuanqing's face was distorted, and he wanted to clamp his hips and scream, but the red dancing shoes had already controlled his legs to jump and bounce up.

He leaped high and kicked the zombie hard in the chest with both feet.

Bang!

Amid the muffled sound, the zombie's tattered clothes splashed up fine dust.

It let out an angry and unwilling roar, and was knocked down on its back by the huge force.

Opportunity! Seeing this, Zhang Yuanqing ignored the pain in his hips and ran away, slapping the corpse-suppressing talisman in his hand hard at the highly rotten and foul-smelling face in front of him.

Pat it on the forehead.

Bang!

The violent and bloodthirsty zombie froze suddenly as if it was under a spell.

All movement and noise disappeared, returning to silence.

The zombie lay straight in the weeds, the scarlet color in its ferocious eyeballs slowly fading.

It has lost its vitality.

Looking at the zombie that had turned into a clay sculpture and was unable to show off its power, Zhang Yuanqing gasped violently, as fatigue and joy surged into his heart.

He survived!

“Without the help of the Red Shoes, it’s difficult to deal with the zombies alone, and zombies are just one of the weirdnesses. It’s worthy of being an S-level spiritual realm. It’s too difficult.

"But the construction team has a lot of people, so it shouldn't be a problem to deal with the zombies. How could a group of grown men be so incompetent..."

Zhang Yuanqing suddenly sighed, he knew the reason.

The corpse-suppressing talisman was found in the pocket of the corpse under the window. The senior obtained this item, but he did not tell his companions and kept it for himself.

Human hearts are more complicated and terrifying than ghosts.

After dealing with the zombies, it’s time to go find the shameless female ghost in the well.

But before that, there was something that Zhang Yuanqing was very concerned about.

He left the zombies and walked towards the room where the coffins were displayed. He held onto the door frame and stepped over the threshold. In the dark room, the moonlight was like a beam.

He stopped in front of the mummy, bent down and picked up the copper cone.

Although it is an object made of copper, it does not feel cold in the hand, but rather warm and smooth like jade.

Immediately, a piece of information appeared in the field of vision.

[Name: Demon Subduing Pestle]

【Type: Weapon】

[Function: Purification, Calming Spirits, Breaking Demons]

[Introduction: This weapon contains the power of the sun, and is the nemesis of all evil things. Sacrifice this pestle with your blood and essence to gain the power of the sun god.]

[Note: Is it powerful? I paid with my life.]

It was indeed a prop. Looking at the function introduction, it seemed to be more powerful than the candles in the main hall. The seniors of the construction team must have wanted to use it to kill the zombies, but they failed. Alas, they had lost too many manpower before dealing with the zombies... Zhang Yuanqing was glad that he made the right judgment.

The difficulty was solved by cleverly using the red dancing shoes.

Of course, the construction team seniors had no choice. It was impossible for them to subdue this rule-based prop, and most of them died from being trampled by the red dancing shoes.

"With this item that specifically counters Yin objects, and paired with the red dancing shoes, my chances of clearing the trial mission have greatly increased."

Holding the Demon-Subduing Pestle in his hand, he felt a surge of confidence in his heart. Before the five minutes were up, he left the room and returned to the yard.

This time, he went straight to the ancient well for a final exploration.

The wellhead was deep and dark, and a damp smell of rotting grass and trees surged up.

Let's go down and take a look... Zhang Yuanqing held the Demon-Subduing Pestle tightly and took a defensive posture. He raised one foot and stepped on the edge of the well. Then, he walked down, walking on the well wall as if it were flat ground.

Before, he definitely wouldn't dare to go down to explore. Not to mention whether there was danger at the bottom of the well, jumping to the bottom of the well without a rope or help would mean seeking death.

Soon, he successfully reached the bottom of the shallow well, where the moonlight was already very faint.

The water in the well had long dried up, black silt had accumulated at the bottom, clumps of weeds grew around the edges, and the walls of the well were covered with dark green moss.

"There is no ghost in the well..."

Zhang Yuanqing frowned and thought to himself, this is not right, I clearly saw a faceless female ghost emerging from the well.

He checked again and again at the bottom of the well, but because the red dancing shoes only had a limited time to wear, he could only helplessly step on the steep well wall, return to the ground, and quickly run back to the eaves of the main hall.

Only then did she feel at ease to take off her red dancing shoes.

........

In the main hall, bathed in the dim candlelight, Zhang Yuanqing leaned against the tribute table with a listless look. The corpse poison's erosion of his body became more serious. After dizziness, he began to experience symptoms such as difficulty breathing and heart and lung pain.

Time is running out.

"I have explored two backyards and successfully subdued the zombies. The mission is not over yet, which means there are still some places I haven't explored..."

Every room in the backyard has been explored, even the bottom of the well has been visited, so there is no way there could be any loopholes.

So, where is it?

When all possibilities are eliminated, the only one left, no matter how incredible, must be the truth... He muttered to himself and slowly supported his body.

The place that has not been "explored" is here, the main hall in front of you.

Zhang Yuanqing's eyes slowly swept across the main hall, finally stopping at the clay sculpture of Sandaoshan Niangniang. When he first entered the main hall, a detail on the clay sculpture caught his attention.

The right hand of the clay sculpture is empty, but it is in a grasping position, indicating that it was originally holding something.

I didn't know what she was holding in her hand before, but now I know.

It is a pestle to subdue demons.

With the mentality that it would not hurt to give it a try, Zhang Yuanqing stepped forward, inserted the yellow demon-subduing pestle into the palm of the clay sculpture, then jumped off the pedestal and took a few steps back.

Almost at the moment he stepped back, the surface of the base cracked with a "crack", and the cracks bounced up a cloud of dense dust. Then the entire base collapsed, revealing a dark cave.
