But once the blocking ghost is killed, needless to say, the blocking point will be filled with corpse energy. Without Wang Yao's company, even though Gu Qi and Pingdeng Wang are currently covered by "glass", how dare they go there?
After all, it's unknown how long it will take to catch the ghost killer. If it drags on for too long, the "Liuli" effect will expire, and wouldn't the two of them also be infected by the corpse energy?
Even if the two of them can solve the problem in a short time, wouldn't going back and forth to ask Wang Yao for help delay things? So this becomes another excuse for Wang Yao to manipulate the Underworld. Wang Yao can simply state his conditions. You may be in a hurry, but he's not. He can go whenever he agrees.
"Let's get over there quickly!" Although Wang Yao had thought through all the details, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly at this critical moment. Even if he was in the right, he couldn't bring himself to take advantage of the situation. He decided to wait until things calmed down before making any decisions.
"Thank you for your trouble, Lord Yue Lao. Wu Ying, please take Lord Yue Lao with you. Lord Ping Deng Wang and I will head over first!" Gu Qi was greatly encouraged by Wang Yao's easygoing manner. He called out to Wu Ying, and then he and Lord Ping Deng Wang hurriedly departed in a flash.
Seeing that Gu Qi had casually called out and the ghostly figure had disappeared, Wu Ying's face immediately fell.
"How about we rest a bit more?" Wang Yao noticed that Wu Ying's face looked pale and knew that Wu Ying had indeed expended a lot of energy these past few days. He himself had only been replenishing the protective shield for the sealing ghost and was already feeling tired. He had been using that speed spell without sleep and was probably already at his physical limit.
Wuying sighed, and black mist surged out from beneath his feet once more. Of course, he wanted to rest, but Yama and the judge had already gone. If he delayed the matchmaker because of him and caused bad consequences, he was afraid he would not escape the punishment of the underworld.
Wang Yao had already adapted to Wuying's speed technique. He closed his eyes and felt a gust of wind rush towards him. Before he could even open his eyes, he heard a shout, followed by Wuying's tense voice.
"What is that?"
When Wang Yao opened his eyes, he saw that the blockade he had carefully built was nowhere to be seen, and the telephone handset and socket nearby had also been separated, scattered into small parts all over the ground.
Gu Qi seemed to be fighting an enemy. All that could be heard was his constant shouts of "Huh!" and "Hey!" However, when ghosts fight, yin energy swirls everywhere. In addition, the black mist surrounding Gu Qi made it impossible for Wang Yao to see the appearance of Gu Qi's opponent. He only felt that the opponent was much taller than Gu Qi.
Standing about forty or fifty meters behind Gu Qi was King Pingdeng. He frowned as he looked at the scene, showing no intention of making a move. Behind King Pingdeng, Wang Yao saw some ghosts lying on the ground, looking listless.
"Lord Yue Lao, some of the ghost soldiers here have been infected by the aura of death. Please heal them." King Pingdeng called out to Wang Yao as he arrived.
Wang Yao nodded, puzzled. He had placed a protective shield on the ghost at the blockade point in the underworld area, and it shouldn't have been affected by the corpse energy before the time limit was up. He took out the Awakening Token and stepped forward, only to find that the ghost lying on the ground was not the one he had arranged at the blockade point not long ago.
"The ghost soldiers at the blockade have all been killed by this corpse puppet. These are the men sent by Gu Qi to provide support. Fortunately, we arrived in time, otherwise these corpse puppets would have stormed into the Netherworld area," King Pingdeng explained to Wang Yao calmly.
Wang Yao first put protective shields on the people on the ground, and then used the Awakening Token to clear away the corpse energy from each of them before turning his head to look at the thing that King Pingdeng called a corpse puppet.
Through the pervasive black mist, Wang Yao could see that the corpse puppet's appearance was somewhat similar to that of ghosts from the underworld and people from the human world, but the differences were also enormous.
First of all, this corpse puppet is tall. The average height of male ghosts in the underworld and men in the human world is around 1.7 meters. Even if Gu Qi is tall, he is only about 1.9 meters tall. However, the corpse puppet is more than a head taller than Gu Qi. It should be no less than 2 meters tall.
Secondly, this corpse puppet was extremely burly, with bulging muscles all over its body. It was shirtless, and you could see its biceps and pectoral muscles piled up like mounds, just like a bodybuilder in the human world. But even the bodybuilders in the human world were far less strangely shaped than this one.
The corpse puppet's head was actually growing under its armpits. It had no head on its neck, but a clump of jet-black, straw-like hair grew directly on it. Each strand of hair was as thick as a pencil, and during the fight, it would suddenly extend and retract to ambush the opponent, often causing Gu Qi to be caught off guard.
The heads under the armpits of the corpse puppet revealed eerie smiles, their mouths open, filled with sharp fangs, and saliva dripping down their lips. Two arms, one on the left and one on the right, grew from the shoulders above the heads, and two forearms grew from the elbows of the arms.
The corpse puppet's four arms moved around in front of and behind its body like four forks, extremely flexible, and the hands at the tips of its arms could even rotate 360 degrees.
What's most astonishing is the lower body of this corpse puppet. This thing doesn't have an anus. Instead, it grows four legs—two in front and two in back—from its waist. Each leg grows four feet, which stand firmly on the ground, front, back, left, and right.
After observing it for a long time, Wang Yao discovered that the corpse puppet was like a combination of two people, except that its head was in the wrong place. In addition, it had four extra forearms, four hands, and twelve feet, which allowed the corpse puppet to fight enemies from all directions at the same time, making it both stable and flexible.
Despite fighting him for so long, Gu Qi has yet to gain the upper hand.
"The appearance of the corpse puppet indicates the presence of a manipulator. This puppet is crudely made, suggesting the manipulator's skill level is low. I had Gu Qi fight it to lure out the manipulator. Please add another protective shield for the judge and rearrange the interception here," King Pingdeng said to Wang Yao.
