Chapter 165: Of course it is to verify the conjecture
Gu Qingyue's sudden attack scared those people, but they breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the condition of the person being killed.
Gu Qingyue took a look at them and divided the people gathered around him into two groups based on whether they were bitten or scratched. He set up a formation for each of them to protect them.
"As long as you don't walk out of the range of the formation, your life will be safe. If you walk out on your own, you will bear the consequences at your own risk." Gu Qingyue said before leaving.
Everyone nodded.
As Gu Qingyue walked forward, he discovered that there were many cultivators among these walking corpses. The weakest was in the Qi Refining Stage, while the strongest was in the Nascent Soul Stage.
These zombies were wandering aimlessly on the street. When they smelled Gu Qingyue's scent, they rushed over excitedly as if they had discovered something delicious.
With a wave of the Yinfeng Sword, a large group of people were easily knocked down.
Gu Qingyue's spiritual sense covered the entire Zhongning City. Densely packed zombies were scattered throughout the city, and the most powerful of them were in the City Lord's Mansion.
After chopping off the head of a Nascent Soul Realm walking corpse with one sword, Gu Qingyue arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion is where the most zombies are found. They gather here densely, and the scene is very crowded.
The stench of decay and blood filled the air.
In the center of the zombie group, the leading zombie, which was in the early stage of tribulation, was making a "ho ho" sound, as if giving orders to the other zombies.
The other zombies seemed to have heard an order from the "ho ho" sound, and all looked towards Gu Qingyue.
Hundreds of corrupt and peeling faces were coming towards him, and the scene was very shocking.
“Hehe——”
Upon hearing the order, the zombies attacked Gu Qingyue one after another.
Gu Qingyue swept his sword horizontally, and foul-smelling blood splattered all over the sky and fell to the ground together with the head. The sound of the head falling to the ground was like a rotten melon falling to the ground, making a heavy sound and sinking.
The spiritual light of Yin Feng surged, and the tongue of thunder spread out in all directions with Gu Qingyue as the center, weaving into a big net that trapped a group of zombies. The crackling sound of thunder and lightning mixed with the roars of the zombies.
Soon, the rotting corpses were roasted by the lightning, emitting an even more unpleasant and pungent smell.
The strongest zombie made a "ho ho" sound and flew over wildly to attack.
Gu Qingyue gathered spiritual power in his feet and dodged quickly.
This walking corpse was one level higher than him, and it was incredibly fast, bringing up violent airflow.
As the zombies got closer, the fishy smell rushed directly into Gu Qingyue's nose, and he almost couldn't help vomiting.
He raised his hand and released a ball of lightning, which he then smashed at the zombies.
Gu Qingyue threw the thunder ball as if it was free. Although the zombie was very fast, it was still hit by the thunder. The thunder and lightning hit it and quickly spread to its whole body.
The rotten meat made a sizzling sound and the pungent smell became more and more obvious.
Gu Qingyue temporarily blocked his sense of smell.
It's really too aggressive.
No matter how much spiritual power one has, it will eventually run out. While Gu Qingyue was taking the elixir to replenish his spiritual power, the walking corpse rushed in front of Gu Qingyue, opened its hideous and smelly mouth, and the rotten flesh on its face was falling off.
Gu Qingyue's eyes flashed and he threw a formation ball out.
The walking corpse was shaken three feet away.
With a flick of his wrist, the Yinfeng Sword shot out, trying to cut off the zombie's head, but he dodged it very quickly.
The zombies came running up again.
The Yinfeng Sword split into a seven-seven sword formation behind Gu Qingyue, and each sword was shining with cold light and lightning. Gu Qingyue pinched his fingers to control the sword formation to attack the walking corpses.
"Long Yi, come out."
As soon as Gu Qingyue finished speaking, Long Yi's figure wandered in the sword formation, attacking the walking corpses.
All the zombies in the city gathered here. Gu Qingyue threw the thunder ball into the group of zombies, burning them to death one by one.
Suddenly, a large amount of scorching red flames rose from the sky, fell on the walking corpses, and the fire spread.
Gu Qingyue glanced around and saw a fiery figure leaping down from the eaves.
Above her head, the Vermilion Bird chirped and its wings flapped continuously, emitting flames.
The woman curled her lips into a smile, "I'll help you."
Gu Qingyue didn't say anything, just nodded slightly and flew towards the walking corpse in the middle stage of fusion, raising his hand to summon back the Yinfeng Sword.
With Suzaku attracting the firepower of other zombies, and with the addition of Shengxia and Long Yi, Gu Qingyue felt more relaxed.
The Yinfeng Sword trembled slightly, and green light surged, heading straight for the corpse's head.
The walking corpse tilted its head and one of its ears was cut off by Gu Qingyue.
The Yuanhong Sword shone brightly and pierced into the chest of the zombie, making a "puff" sound.
The two men and the divine beast fought with the walking corpse for a long time, and finally Gu Qingyue cut off the head of the walking corpse with a sword.
The head fell to the ground and the corpse lost its ability to move.
"Your swordsmanship is good." Shengxia praised after performing a decontamination spell to put away the Yuanhong Sword.
Gu Qingyue put away his sword and glanced at her. "You're not bad either."
After Zhuque burned the zombies, he transformed into a woman in red and stood beside Shengxia.
"Master, it's solved."
[010, scan.]
After a while, 010 said: [Host, these people turned into zombies because they were poisoned.]
[Just as I guessed.] Shengxia nodded in her heart.
[Since the guess is the same, why do you still need me to scan? 】
[Of course, it's to verify the hypothesis. ]
[……]I cannot refute it.
Shengxia looked at Gu Qingyue, "Do you know why these people turned into zombies?"
Although she called them differently, Gu Qingyue knew she was talking about these zombies. "They must have been poisoned. The Hundred Poison Pill can cure this poison."
"clever!"
After Gu Qingyue had Long Yi go around the city and remove the formations he had set up to protect others, he glanced at her and asked, "You know?"
"I just know they were poisoned, I don't know anything else."
Gu Qingyue broke off a spiritual crane and sent a message to Lingxu Sect.
It can turn people into mindless walking corpses, and this matter needs to be taken seriously.
Gu Qingyue went to find well water in the city, and after checking it, he found that there were toxins in the water.
After throwing the Hundred Poison Pills in to purify all the well water in the city, Gu Qingyue stopped.
This matter is strange, but we cannot find the person behind it, nor do we know what the purpose of the person behind it is in turning people into zombies.
Unable to find any clues, Gu Qingyue could only let it go.
He glanced at the person following him and said, "Goodbye."
"Oh, wait."
Shengxia called him.
"What's up?"
"I'll follow you. I'm out here to gain experience anyway."
Gu Qingyue glanced at her calmly and said, "Please do as you please."
As he said this, he flew north on his sword. He wanted to go to the nearest city to see if the water wells in the city had been poisoned.
When the two arrived in Huiyong City, they found that there was already a slight poison in the city.
Gu Qingyue frowned, went to the City Lord's Mansion, took out the disciple order of Lingxu Sect and showed it to the City Lord, asking him to dissolve the Hundred Poison Pill in water and let all the people in the city take it.
"Make sure no one is left out." Gu Qingyue said.
"clear!"
The two men arrived at the next city, captured a man who was wandering around the largest well in the city, and interrogated him.
But this person was very stubborn and refused to say anything.
Gu Qingyue didn't have to worry about anything and directly searched his soul.
The result made his face darken.
The purpose of poisoning the major cities is to gradually turn all the monks into mindless walking corpses, and then control these walking corpses to attack the major forces. Even if they cannot cause any major damage, they have successfully created chaos so that they can insert the secret lines of the alien race into the major forces.
Fortunately, this is the third city.
And he caught this person before he even started to act.
But it is impossible that only one person could have done the poisoning. From the memories he searched, there were eight people sent to do this, distributed in various states.
This city was not far from Lingxu Sect. Gu Qingyue did not delay any longer and flew back to Lingxu Sect quickly on his sword, and also attached a few magic talismans to himself.
Zhuque looked at Shengxia, "Master, where are we going?"
Sheng Xia looked at the direction Gu Qingyue left and said, "tsk," "Follow him."
[010, are you sure I'm taking care of myself? This world doesn't seem very peaceful.]
010 felt a little guilty, but still steadied his voice. "Host, this is your original world. Isn't it reasonable to return to your original world to retire?"
Finally, it added: [Your own home.]
Shengxia snorted coldly, "Tell me, what do you know?"
