Those two fights, where one person rode on another's back and beat them up, were quite intense and exciting. Here, Gu Qi was just jumping around the corpse puppet, acting as a street performer, which was quite fitting. However, the one performing should be the corpse puppet, while Gu Qi seemed to be the monkey being led by the corpse puppet.
“Lord Equality, I have been feeling uneasy. Have you noticed that we are trying to lure out the manipulator behind this corpse puppet, but the corpse puppet seems to be attracting our attention as well? I have already rearranged the blockade points, but the manipulator of this corpse puppet has not shown up yet.”
Wang Yao whispered to King Pingdeng, thinking to himself that the people he had arranged at this ambush point were all low-level ghosts whose cultivation levels were even lower than his own. Gu Qi said he was just playing with the corpse puppet, but in reality, he had dragged both him and King Pingdeng here.
Moreover, if Gu Qi fails to tease the corpse puppet and is instead knocked down by it, the corpse puppet will pounce on him. Since he has "good people" around, he is naturally not worried about anything, but the ghost soldiers at the blockade point might be killed, and he would have wasted a lot of time.
So he thought of asking King Pingdeng to make Guqi end the battle quickly. Since you're just playing with the Corpse Puppet, it shouldn't take much effort to kill it.
"You just ran around all the checkpoints, you shouldn't have found anything unusual, right?" King Pingdeng raised an eyebrow and asked Wang Yao.
"Nothing unusual has been found, but Qingpao, Zhu Cong, and You Junda went in and haven't come out yet. I wonder if Zhu Cong and You Junda have any contact information for Lord Heping? If so, it would be best to ask them what their situation is now," Wang Yao said.
"This..." King Pingdeng frowned deeply. Zhu Cong and You Junda had been inside for a while, and he was indeed worried about them. The reason he hadn't mentioned it was partly because they hadn't been inside for very long, and it was understandable that the two of them had spent more time on the road carrying the soul lamps.
Moreover, the blockade here cannot be without the immortals. Even if Zhu Cong and You Junda are really trapped inside, he dares not let Wang Yao go in. Therefore, he is even less willing to mention those two immortals, as it would be pointless to mention them anyway.
"The Underworld Affairs District is located in a remote area of the West Fifth District on Floor Zero. There is no cell phone signal, so we can only communicate by landline," said King Pingdeng.
"If the manipulator behind the corpse puppets uses them to distract us and allow us to deal with the two immortals, and once the two immortals are captured, he can send other corpse puppets to other passages. Does Lord Pingdeng have any countermeasures?" Wang Yao asked again.
“This…” King Pingdeng frowned even more deeply now.
"I suggest that you, sir, stop delaying any longer and eliminate the corpse puppets first. That way, if there are any anomalies at other blockade points, we can deal with them in time," Wang Yao said.
"Hmm... Guqi, kill the corpse puppet!" King Pingdeng hesitated for a moment, then shouted loudly at Guqi. Guqi had long been tired of fighting the corpse puppet. Upon hearing King Pingdeng's order, he suddenly shouted again, and several streams of Yin energy shot out from his body like arrows.
The corpse puppet suddenly stopped, and then visible black yin energy emanated from its joints. Suddenly, with a "whoosh," the corpse puppet leader's body collapsed and turned into a pile of dismembered pieces of flesh.
A moment later, crimson blood began to seep out from between the chunks of flesh. Wang Yao stared in astonishment as Gu Qi killed the corpse puppet, but instead of retreating, he stepped forward and picked up a chunk of flesh about the size of a washbasin, which appeared to be from the chest of the corpse puppet.
Ignoring the blood dripping from the piece of flesh, he wiped it on the "glass" protective shield in front of him, then brought it to his mouth and began to slurp up the blood along the cut surface of the flesh, as if drinking porridge.
He then took a big bite, tossed his head, and tore off a large strip of meat, chewing it vigorously. His bite was rather large, and he couldn't swallow the meat whole, so he handed the piece of meat to his right hand and used his left hand to tear and chew the meat strip.
Guqi took a few bites, then suddenly thought of King Pingdeng. He quickly turned around and handed the meatball to King Pingdeng, smiling slightly embarrassedly.
"I was exhausted from the battle and only thought about nourishing myself, forgetting about you, sir. Please, sir, enjoy your meal. The flesh of this corpse puppet tastes quite good."
As Gu Qi spoke, blood dripped from the tip of his nose, the corners of his lips, and his beard. He looked as if he had plunged his face into a cut watermelon and been eating the red flesh.
"Corpse puppets are made from corpse energy. You're just indiscriminately consuming them without any inspection. Be careful not to get sick from them," King Pingdeng shook his head and said coldly.
“I know exactly what I’m doing. I just wiped it on the shield, and there’s absolutely no corpse energy left. This corpse puppet fought me for a long time, and my shield has almost completely worn away its corpse energy. Most of it should be inside its two heads,” Gu Qi said with a smile.
King Pingdeng glanced at Gu Qi and saw that he did not seem to be tainted by the corpse energy. He then turned to look at the ghost blocking the corpse energy and Wuying beside Wang Yao and waved to them.
"Although there are rules in the Underworld that whoever captures the spoils keeps them, since the Judge is so generous, let's all go and feast together. Be careful, keep those heads, and pay attention to the changes in your protective shields..."
Before King Pingdeng could finish speaking, the ghosts, including Wuying, swarmed over with great joy and began to devour the corpse, just like a pack of hungry wolves feasting on their prey.
"You can't eat all of this. Wuying, remember to leave some to take to other interception points. Poor thing, you rarely see such fresh tonics. Now that we're at a critical juncture in intercepting the corpse energy, tell everyone to stay alert. If we catch this treasure again, we'll share it with you all."
