A guess suddenly popped up in Zhang Mu's mind that even shocked himself.

Could this giant corpse of a monk be dead?

Judging from the noise, even if he is not dead, he must have suffered some unknown serious injury.

This time, even if Zhang Mu was urged to leave, he refused to go. If for some reason the giant monk's corpse had lost its ability to resist, then that would be a good opportunity for Zhang Mu to reverse the situation.

He slowly approached, summoned all the vines of the Blood Vine Lotus, covered his body with them, and began to observe the giant monk's corpse fully armed.

The obsidian dagger turned twice in Zhang Mu's hand and stabbed directly into the shoulder of the monk zombie, but there was still no sign of waking up. The copper skin and iron bones seemed to disappear. Zhang Mu slashed with the knife and easily broke through the monk zombie's body defense, cutting off the flesh and blood, and slowly black blood flowed out.

how so?

A look of doubt appeared on Zhang Mu's face, and now he became even more alert. This monk zombie seemed to have fallen from the sky to the ground all of a sudden, and turned into a lowest-level first-level zombie.

He suddenly thought of the place that attracted him just now about the monk zombie, the crystal behind its neck.

But now the huge crystal in that place is no longer exposed. It seems that all the energy and vitality of this monk zombie are used to repair the missing piece of flesh and blood. The only intact wound on his body is here.

Zhang Mu no longer hesitated and swung his knife directly, aiming at the piece of flesh.

Sure enough, the skin at this location was extremely hard, and the obsidian dagger's full-strength attack failed to penetrate it.

But Zhang Mu had already thought of a way to deal with it. Since this piece of flesh and blood has been deliberately strengthened, I don’t believe that all the flesh and blood around you has the energy to maintain this intensity.

He turned the blade without pulling out the obsidian dagger, and made a large circle, slowly cutting open the outer part of the monk zombie's flesh where the Yuan Crystal was originally located.

When Zhang Mu carefully cut off all the flesh and blood around, the scene that was now exposed in front of Zhang Mu shocked him. It was indeed the huge crystal from before.

Although the monk zombie's body shape has returned to its original appearance, the crystal Zhang Mu saw just now is exactly the same size as it is now, but it is deeply embedded in the monk zombie's body. In contrast, it now appears to be even larger. It is pressing tightly against the spine of the monk zombie. Zhang Mu can clearly see that its spine has been deeply bent. If a human being suffered such a degree of injury, he would have died long ago, but this is a zombie, and this is also the reason why he remains alive, because it is not its vital point.

This thing looks like a Yuan Crystal that has been magnified many times. Can the Yuan Crystal also mutate?

Zhang Mu stopped guessing and used the obsidian dagger to pry down the edge of the huge crystal.

Zhang Mu used some skillful force to loosen the huge Yuan Crystal a little. When Zhang Mu removed some of the flesh and blood supporting the Yuan Crystal, it gradually became isolated.

But for some reason, the tightly closed area in the center never moved. Zhang Mu got excited and directly dug out the flesh and blood on the zombie's back. Only then did he finally see the true appearance of the huge Yuan Crystal.

But when he saw clearly what was underneath the Yuan Crystal and what caused the Yuan Crystal to mutate into this state, he could hardly believe his eyes.

Could it be that thing?

To confirm, Zhang Mu observed it carefully again. Under the huge Yuan Crystal, there was a pebble-like crystal that was shining with yellow light. It looked like jade and a special stone. It was crystal clear and had a smooth surface. It could be clearly seen that it was drawing power from the huge crystal.

After matching the appearance of this thing with the memories of later generations, and combining it with the identity of this monk zombie, Zhang Mu was sure that his guess was 90% correct.

This, is this a relic?
