"What smells so bad?"

Half a day later.

In a forest more than 200 miles away from Yunwen Mountain.

Liusu was squatting by the stream washing dishes when she suddenly shrugged her nose and frowned.

In the woods not far behind him, the well-fed son-in-law was being urged to practice by his young lady.

From time to time, the screams of the brother-in-law and the cold guidance of the young lady could be heard.

Liusu was listening happily, but suddenly she smelled a strange stench that made her want to vomit.

She stood up suddenly, her face slightly changed: "Spiritual corpse!"

At this time Qiu Zhihe stopped training her husband, Si Minglan also stood up with a serious expression, while the hammer girl looked excited.

Qin Gengyun also smelled the odor and took a moment to react before saying, "Is this smell a spirit corpse?"

He had only encountered a spirit corpse once, so he was not very familiar with it. Moreover, the smell coming from the wind at this moment was different from the spirit corpse summoned by the Thousand Corpses Map in Xingluo Town.

Qiu Zhihe said coldly: "The spirit corpses in the Thousand Corpses Map are just inferior ones, far inferior to the real spirit corpses driven by the Spirit Corpse Mountain."

"Spirit Corpse Mountain?" Qin Gengyun had naturally heard of this name. It was the highest of the hundreds of mountains in the Northern Wilderness, but it was also notorious.

Because what this Spirit Corpse Mountain is best at is refining people into spirit corpses.

The higher the cultivation level of the person being refined, the higher the combat power of the refined spirit corpse.

Therefore, Lingshi Mountain likes to capture monks with high cultivation levels, or collect the corpses of powerful people, and refine them into spiritual corpses for their own use.

In the Northern Wilderness, there are dangers all around and crises lurking on every side.

But the miasma, ferocious beasts, and hidden traps are not even one-tenth as dangerous and vicious as the Spirit Corpse Mountain.

Even if disciples from large sects want to enter the Northern Wilderness, their masters will remind them to avoid conflict with the Spirit Corpse Mountain unless necessary.

"Isn't the Spirit Corpse Mountain at the northernmost part of the Northern Wasteland? We just entered the Northern Wasteland not long ago, how come we encountered spirit corpses here?"

Si Minglan had a solemn expression. She had been to the Northern Wilderness several times and had witnessed the horror of the Spirit Corpse Mountain.

Qiu Zhihe looked towards the south side of the woods and said coldly, "Come out."

The jungle rustled and a slender bare foot stepped out. It was a woman's foot, but it was glowing with a pale light.

The seemingly weak feet stepped on the ground, leaving a shallow footprint on the hard rock.

The woman walked out of the bushes where she was hiding. She was only wearing simple cloth clothes, revealing a large area of ​​skin, which was still pale.

The woman had a pretty face and was quite good-looking, but her beautiful face no longer had any human expression.

His pupils were blood red and he let out a low howl like a wild beast.

"Spiritual corpse!"

Qin Gengyun was shocked, not because he was afraid of the corpse, but because he felt that this corpse was completely different from the one he encountered in Xingluo Town.

The corpses in Xingluo Town are like the zombies in the games and movies of previous lives, with low intelligence, and average strength and agility.

The aura emanating from the female corpse before him alone was enough to surpass that of most cultivators in the late stage of Qi training.

And judging from her physical strength, she can almost catch up with Qin Gengyun when he first mastered the Dragon Scale Skill in Yunling Town.

Is a real spirit corpse so powerful?

How many corpses with this kind of power are there in the Corpse Mountain?

As if in response to his guess, six more corpses walked out one after another behind the female corpse, both male and female, all of them filled with murderous aura, and it was obvious that they were at least cultivators in the late stage of Qi training when they were alive.

Qiu Zhihe still looked towards the bushes and said calmly:

"These spirit corpses can't do anything to us."

As soon as she finished speaking, a man covered in a black robe walked out from the bushes.

He wore a pale mask on his face, making himself look like a corpse, and spoke in a hoarse voice:

"Since you have seen it, you can only blame your bad luck."

As he spoke, the seven spirit corpses all roared, and even revealed spiritual pressure similar to that of cultivators.

The beautiful female corpse that appeared first actually showed the strength of the second level of foundation building!

"Which sect is this female disciple from? She was actually transformed into a spirit corpse by the Spirit Corpse Mountain?!"

Si Minglan was shocked.

"Haha, since you are all going to die, I might as well tell you that this is my beloved slave, named Yin Qiaoqin."

"Yin Qiaoqin?!" Si Minglan exclaimed, "A disciple of Feiyun Sect?"

Si Minglan participated in the Northern Wilderness Trial for disciples of the three major sects several years ago and had met Yin Qiaoqun of the Feiyun Sect once.

Back then, Yin Qiaoqun once led a team of outer disciples of the Feiyun Sect. She was considered a well-known fairy in the sect. Even some male disciples of the Zhenyang Sect admired her.

However, during that trial, Yin Qiaoqun was in danger and disappeared, which caused quite a stir at the time. Feiyun Sect sent people to search everywhere, but found no trace of her.

Unexpectedly, he was turned into a spirit corpse by the Spirit Corpse Mountain!

The black-robed man laughed and said, "You actually recognized him. That's even better. My slave is very well behaved. I usually don't want to use him. But I can use you to test him."

"brute!"

Si Minglan vaguely remembered Yin Qiaoqun's graceful demeanor in the past, but she didn't expect to see her again today. She had become a living corpse, naked and humiliated by others, unable to retain her dignity even after death.

It is so cruel and sad that the fairy has become a spirit corpse!

Si Minglan was seriously injured and only had the second level of foundation building skills left, but he still took a step forward and prepared to take action.

The hammer girl was full of excitement. She raised her hammer and walked forward: "Wow, there are so many monsters. This time I can finally beat them to my heart's content!"

Qiu Zhihe habitually blocked Qin Gengyun behind him and formed a magic circle with his hands.

"Husband, this person is also at the third level of foundation building. Those spirit corpses are not easy to deal with. You should be careful."

As Qiu Zhihe was speaking, she felt a space behind her. Qin Gengyun had stepped out and stood in front of her.

"Husband?"

Qin Gengyun turned around and smiled gently at Qiu Zhihe:

"My dear, you usually urge me, teach me, and stand in front of me. This time, I want to try to protect you."

"Husband, no..."

Qiu Zhihe was about to object, but Qin Gengyun continued:

"My lady, I know you have a knot in your heart that is hard to untie. I am weak and cannot help you, but I want to give it a try."

"Let's try not being under your wing, but standing in front of you, and see if I can be the one who protects you for your whole life?"

"Husband..." Qiu Zhihe opened her beautiful eyes wide and stared at Qin Gengyun blankly.

Ever since they met, she had been looking down on him. Even though she gradually fell in love with him as they got along, she was ultimately standing too high.

He always subconsciously protected Qin Gengyun so that he would experience less of the bloody storms in the cultivation world.

Even when she intentionally tried to train her husband a few times, she was always very cautious and kept a close watch on him.

It’s just like what Miss Hammer said: Are you raising a son or a husband?

However, she had never thought about what her husband was thinking during his practice.

Yes, I will leave him eventually and cannot protect him all his life.

After a moment, Qiu Zhihe smiled and said, "Husband, go ahead."
