The Corpse Talker's entire body was shaking violently, and he was about to spray out a large amount of body fluid from the wound to stop his opponent. However, Du Yuqi had already used this move before, so he was well prepared. After the three consecutive slashes, he jumped into the air, his head almost touching the top of the stone wall, and then he chopped down with a mountain-shattering slash.
This blow hit the Corpse Talker's back again, and the guy let out a hoarse cry of pain, shaking the dust on the surrounding stone walls to fall. Then the two heads lurking in his body emerged to the surface, exploded with bared teeth, and spread out a large mass of purple-black blood mist.
Du Yuqi knew that the blood-colored mist probably contained a deadly poison, or even some incredible strange curses. He did not dare to be careless about the means used by the enemy in his death struggle, so he simply retreated to the rear.
Moreover, he knew clearly in his mind that the purpose of coming here this time was not to slay demons and protect the lives and property of the people, but to receive the secret code and take away his own wealth. If that was the case, he would not take any risks if he could avoid them.
After a while, when the blood mist in the air had dissipated, Du Yuqi saw that most of the Corpse Talker's evil body was left on the ground. Black oily substance kept flowing out from the broken ends, emitting an indescribable stench. Only the head and a small part of the upper body had disappeared. It was obvious that the gecko had used the special ability of "surviving with broken limbs" to escape.
Du Yuqi hesitated for a moment, then returned to the big man he had captured. He saw that this guy had a strange smile on his face, as if he was in a happy paradise. However, his face was covered with black air, and even a large number of blisters appeared on the surface of his skin. It looked like he could die on the spot at any time.
Seeing this scene, Du Yuqi frowned slightly. This big man had instigated others to deal with him before, so he deserved to die. However, he had to spend some time to save him now. After thinking for a while, Du Yuqi put on gloves, cut the ropes on the big man, then grabbed most of the body of the Corpse Talker with his left hand, grabbed the big man's hair with his right hand, and dragged them both out at the same time.
At this time, the sun had already set outside, but there was still a brilliant sunset glow in the sky, and the light was still very clear. Needless to say, there were still a large group of people waiting outside to watch. After seeing Du Yuqi dragging the man and the monster out, a series of gasps were heard all around.
After most of the corpse talker's body was exposed to the light, bursts of black gas suddenly emerged, and it seemed that it was not adapted to the bright environment outside. Its surface was gurgling, as if it was thrown into boiling water. At this time, there were still two remaining heads that had not exploded left in it. Someone immediately recognized that they were his relatives, and rushed over crying, but was kicked away by Du Yuqi... Are you kidding? This monster uses human heads as weapons. If you rush over rashly, you will end up being poisoned to death. In the end, don't you still need your help?
At this time, Du Yuqi looked at the big man again. He was already twitching. What was even more terrifying was that the green blood vessels on the surface of his body had protruded like little snakes. It looked as if there were a large number of worms crawling under his skin, which was chilling.
However, this was not the scariest thing. The most surprising thing was that the expression on his face was still full of joy and enthusiasm, which was in stark contrast to his current situation. Therefore, several people had already surrounded him out of concern, but were immediately deterred.
Du Yuqi took out a potion and dripped a few drops on the corner of the big man's mouth, letting the potion slowly seep in. Sure enough, the big man's eyes gradually became clear, and after a short period of absence, he saw Du Yuqi's face, and then there were several of his men standing beside him, and they immediately roared:
"Asshole, you son of a bitch, let me go quickly, or I'll have my men chop you into pieces! Dingni! What are you waiting for? Why don't you do it?"
Du Yuqi sighed and said:
"It seems that you still don't understand the situation. Dinny, come over here and tell your boss what's going on now?"
After seeing Du Yuqi dragging the monster out, Ding Ni probably realized that the person in front of him was probably an exorcist or something like that, so he didn't dare to provoke him. However, he certainly couldn't ignore his boss, so he could only walk over tremblingly, forcing out an ugly smile and said:
"Boss, I think we should take a long-term view on this matter. Why don't you take care of your health first?"
The big man with his head covered roared:
"I'm in good health now, I was just tied up by this bastard! Stop the fucking whining and go get some help right now!"
Dingni swallowed his saliva and said:
"Boss, I don't think you're doing well right now... Besides, this gentleman didn't tie your hands and feet at all!"
"What?! I'm obviously tied up and can't move!" the big man continued in a strong voice.
Du Yuqi sneered and said to Ding Ni:
"Poor guy, his body is almost digested and he doesn't even know what's going on. Go lift up his head and take a look. And don't touch the part below the neck - if you don't want to become like him."
"What?" After hearing what Du Yuqi said, Ding Ni immediately ran away, without any intention of helping others. What a joke, he followed this bastard just to get two pounds of extra black bread occasionally. For two pounds of extra black bread, he would risk festering all over his body and bursting with soap bubbles. Isn't this just asking for trouble?
Du Yuqi didn't expect that Ding Ni's loyalty was so low. He couldn't help but shook his head, found a stone nearby and placed it under the big man's neck. He said:
"Look for yourself."
The big man looked down and found that his body had turned black and rotten, and he was indeed not tied up. He was immediately shocked and suddenly thought of something. His face turned pale and he said:
"You, you hurt me?"
Du Yuqi sighed and said:
"Boss, you should have some conscience when you speak. There are so many people watching here, and you say I am harming you? If I hadn't just used some potions to sober you up, you would still think you were immersed in happiness. Do you know how much this potion costs? I tell you, it is calculated by the drop, and one drop costs one thousand silver coins!"
Du Yuqi knew that the people around here were all poor, so he simply used units like silver coins. Otherwise, they wouldn't understand him if he spoke too much. Sure enough, as soon as he spoke, there was a burst of exclamations from the people around him. Many people had seen Du Yuqi drip four drops of potion on the big man before. Doesn't that mean four thousand silver coins?
The big man was already trembling. After all, not everyone has such a good mental quality that they can watch their body rot away bit by bit without any reaction. He suddenly said in a hoarse voice:
“Save me, save me!”
Du Yuqi was waiting for him to say this. He laughed and dragged him to a nearby room. Not wanting others to hear what he was going to say next, he took out the antidote from his pocket and said:
"The question now is not whether I want to save you, but whether you are willing to save yourself. You were not friendly to me before, and even planned to take me to be burned to death. This bottle of antidote is very expensive, worth 300 gold coins. Why should I use it on you for nothing?"
The big man's facial features twisted as he said:
"I was wrong. Can't I just admit my mistake? I'll give you all my savings!!"
Du Yuqi shook his head and said:
"I don't care about your money. Let me ask you a few questions and you answer them honestly. If your answers satisfy me, I'll give you this bottle of antidote. Anyway, your physical condition is deteriorating rapidly now. If you are willing to delay for a little longer, I don't think it's a problem if you lie."
This big man looked very fierce and cruel, but that was only for others. If it really happened to him, he would suddenly become as weak as a rock and even begged:
"Please ask quickly! I will answer honestly and not play tricks! Please ask quickly?"
Du Yuqi said:
"Well, I heard you called out the monster's name right after you saw it. It should be the Corpse Whisperer, right? How did you know its name?"
The big man immediately said:
"I saw it on the wall! These stone buildings are very old, but only the basement of this stone building is filled with terrible darkness. The rest are normal and can be entered with a torch. There is also a hot spring on the bottom floor of the stone building where I live. I can go there to keep warm in winter."
"Last year, when I was warming myself next to the hot spring, an earthquake suddenly occurred. A buried passage appeared next to me. There were many dead bodies inside. I saw a lot of murals on the walls. These murals seemed to be painted very carelessly, but because the painters had very profound skills, they were extremely vivid. The corpse whisperer had a lot of dead heads as decorations, which was also a very obvious feature, so I recognized him at a glance."
Du Yuqi heard what the big man said and nodded slightly:
"So according to what you said, there are more than just the Corpse Whisperer monsters depicted on the mural?"
