Chapter 7: The corpse of the ancient cultivator, Zixia shows her power
After knowing that there were unknown dangers behind the stone gate, the resurrected Lu Chen naturally became alert and ready to deal with sudden attacks at any time.
Sure enough, the moment he stepped out of the stone door, a cold wind blew from above his head.
Lu Chen, who was well prepared, reacted instantly and swung a sword towards his head.
Bang! The vibrating magic sword collided with the sharp claws in mid-air, bursting out dazzling sparks.
Relying on the amazing power of Water Dragon Chant, Lu Chen forced back the sneak attacker, forcing it to quickly distance itself and not dare to advance.
At this point, Lu Chen finally saw clearly the guy who attacked him.
Sparse hair, a dry and rotten body, and those scarlet eyes.
There is no doubt that the guy lying on the wall is a corpse that has undergone a transformation.
[Qi Training Stage Corpse]
[Cultivation: Qi training stage fifth level]
[Features: bloodthirsty and violent, afraid of sunlight]
Looking at the corpse not far away, although Lu Chen appeared calm on the surface, he was very nervous inside.
Even though he has lived two lives as a human, even though he can now be resurrected infinitely, he is not afraid of death.
But when facing this hideous monster before him, he couldn't help feeling a little afraid.
After all, knowing is one thing, and experiencing it in person is another.
He has played many games in his two lives, but the only ones he doesn't play are horror games.
It’s not that I can’t play, but I’m very afraid…
After all, who would play horror games?
At this moment, Lu Chen felt like he was playing a horror game.
But before Lu Chen could think too much, the corpse in front of him launched an attack again after a brief hesitation.
The corpse suddenly sped up and turned into a black shadow and attacked him.
The speed was so fast that Lu Chen could hardly keep up with the other party.
In a hurry, Lu Chen had to use the Purple Cloud Divine Light to protect himself.
And this produced an unexpected effect!
"roar!!!"
The moment the purple divine light appeared, the magic corpse that was originally rushing towards Lu Chen seemed to have encountered a natural enemy.
He actually twisted his body in mid-air and dodged in another direction.
Then it lay on the underground palace passage more than ten meters away from Lu Chen, looking at Lu Chen with fear.
Seeing this scene, Lu Chen suddenly recalled the information on the magic corpse's panel.
[Bloodthirsty and violent, afraid of sunlight]
As a protective divine light formed by absorbing the newly born purple clouds, the purple clouds divine light that Lu Chen is currently displaying is, in a sense, not much different from real sunlight.
And sunlight is what low-level mage corpses fear the most!
At least the corpse in front of him is not yet able to ignore the sunlight.
I'll kill you while you're sick.
Lu Chen did not waste the opportunity. He immediately turned the passive situation into active one and rushed towards the corpse fiercely.
But the next move of the magic corpse was beyond Lu Chen's expectations.
Lu Chen, who had offered himself to it, turned around and ran away without even looking back.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the dim passage.
Looking at the disappearing corpse, Lu Chen's expression was somewhat ugly.
No, this beast actually has such wisdom? He knew the situation was not right and retreated tactically???
Looking at the deep passage in front of him, Lu Chen didn't know whether he should continue chasing or not.
After all, he had a premonition that the corpse was just afraid of his purple divine light, so it didn't dare to attack him rashly.
But once I release the Purple Cloud Divine Light and chase it, it will definitely suddenly appear and attack me.
Just like the first time I killed myself.
A thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days.
He was not very familiar with the environment of the underground palace, and he had not yet reached the foundation-building stage to master spiritual consciousness.
Trying to chase a magic corpse that is always staring at you in this dark and complicated underground palace is undoubtedly handing the initiative to the other party.
Pursuing rashly is definitely not the best option.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen finally made a bold decision, which was to lure the snake out of its hole!
He dispersed his own purple divine light and stood calmly in the center of the passage.
It looked as if he had given up resistance.
At the same time when he dispersed the purple divine light, a faint sound was heard from the dark passage in the distance.
Lu Chen knew without thinking that it must be the corpse that had returned.
Although the corpses will awaken some of their memories from their previous lives, this does not mean that they will be the same as they were in life.
They are more like wild beasts with a certain degree of intelligence than people with a concept of self.
In addition, the corpses' desire for the flesh and blood of the living is an instinct engraved in their bones.
So they will never let go of any prey easily.
This is also the reason why Lu Chen dared to use himself as bait.
That beast would never run away before killing him.
However, Lu Chen still underestimated the patience of this magic corpse.
Five full minutes had passed since Lu Chen released the Purple Cloud Divine Light.
During these five minutes, the mage was able to remain calm and not rush into action.
This suddenly made Lu Chen feel a little tricky.
It will do me no good to keep wasting time like this. I must find a way to lure this guy out.
As a special existence, low-level magic corpses are not only afraid of the sunlight, but also have a strong bloodthirsty desire.
Once they smell blood, these guys will surround you like hyenas and fight to the death.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen had an idea in mind.
He raised the magic sword and violently cut a gash on the palm of his left hand.
Tick-tock, tick-tock…
Fresh red blood flowed out of the wound and dripped onto the ground.
A bloody smell slowly filled the rotten passage.
Then, heavy breathing sounds began to be heard in the originally quiet passage.
Lu Chen looked in the direction of the voice and soon saw a pair of scarlet eyes.
The next second, three sounds of breaking through the air came from the passage.
In an instant, Lu Chen raised his sword in response, blocking the sudden magical ice cone three times in a row.
The reason why magic corpses are called magic corpses is because they can cast spells.
At the same time that Lu Chen was blocking the ice cone, the corpse, whose bloodthirsty desire had been completely aroused by it, rushed in front of him at an astonishing speed.
Lu Chen, who was highly focused, suddenly laughed at this moment.
When the prey walks into the trap, as a hunter, how could he not be happy! Purple Cloud Divine Light!
"roar!!!"
The dazzling purple glow once again made the dim passage bright.
Out of fear of the sunlight, the mage who was originally sprinting quickly suddenly covered his eyes with his hands and screamed.
My body instinctively wanted to turn away and stay away from this damn glow.
But how could Lu Chen, who deliberately lured it, let it go so easily?
Lu Chen seized the moment when the corpse paused and rushed forward as a shadow.
During this process, he first used the great-level sharpness technique on the magic sword, covering the sword with a layer of invisible sword energy.
Immediately afterwards, there was the familiar and crisp sound of a vibrating sword!
Sword Technique: Water Dragon Song! Lu Chen came in front of the corpse, and a cold light flashed.
The vibrating sword energy slashed the neck of the magic corpse and easily beheaded it with one sword.
This time, the corpse finally lost all its breath and fell straight to the ground.
With a little curiosity, Lu Chen picked up the scattered light spots on the body of the magic corpse.
[You killed a Qi training stage corpse, and gained 70 experience points, Soul Crystal Fragment (white)*1]
Soul crystal fragment, what is this? Lu Chen looked at the strange white fragment in his palm, and his heart was filled with curiosity...
