C13 Bizarre Ancient Corpse
Ye Piao slowly walked forward while holding the magic crystal in his hand, but the purple light continued to extend forward, disappearing into the thick dust in the air, as if it had entered another world.
The more he walked, the more scared he became, because he had never come into contact with this place before. Before, he thought that this was the place that sealed him, but now, he felt that things were not that simple. There must be something else in this place.
A thousand years ago, he had never heard of the existence of any mystery in Spirit Lake County. Then, this mysterious existence would come here a thousand years later, when he was sealed. Just what would that be? It actually made him feel uneasy.
Ye Piao looked around as he walked, he felt even more terrified. He could clearly feel that the Yin Qi had turned into dead bodies. Luckily, he was a zombie and not a living one, otherwise, the strong aura of death would have sucked his soul dry.
Just when Ye Piao was secretly shocked, the magic crystal that was wrapped in corpse Qi suddenly shook violently, and almost broke through the shackles of the corpse Qi. Ye Piao quickly suppressed the restless magic crystal, and the magic crystal gradually quieted down, Ye Piao subconsciously stopped, and looked down to see the pale bones that almost buried the ground. They were all human bones, and it was unknown how many people had lost their lives here. Ye Piao could feel the fluctuations in the surroundings. Yes, there was a hint of energy, indicating that there had been a big battle before.
At this moment, Ye Wandering was shocked to discover that his hands were covered in a faint bloody mist. Could it be that the blood demon in his body was feeling excited? Ye Piao raised the magic crystal with his right hand and realized that it wouldn't shoot out a purple light no matter what.
After trying a few times, he saw that the magic crystal still had no reaction, so he put it back into his pocket and walked forward. After walking for about ten meters, he suddenly discovered a black shadow standing in front of him. He couldn't help but be startled, because that black shadow was definitely not a living being.
Ye Piao carefully walked forward. The black shadow wasn't too far away from him, only ten meters away. However, it had been shrouded by dark clouds all year round, making it seem like a dark night.
When he saw the true face of the black shadow, Ye Piao let out a long sigh of relief, because the black shadow was just a stone statue. The statue depicted a young man with long hair, a stern face, a fist in his left hand, and a blade in his right hand.
Behind the statue, Ye Piao found a grave. In fact, only a small mound of earth flowed down from the grave after years of grinding. The reason that Ye Piao was able to confirm that it was a grave was because there was a tombstone in front of it.
The tombstone was embedded diagonally in the earth. If one did not look closely, one would see that it was as easily overlooked as the stones in the grass. On the front of the tombstone, there was no mention of the grave's owner's name, nor were there any records of his life. However, in the center of the tombstone, there were eight large and vigorous characters carved. Although these eight characters had gone through the passage of time, becoming mottled and tattered, they were still incomparably clear!
"Born in blood... "Life and death …" Ye Piao read and did not understand the meaning of the words, and in the lower right corner of the tombstone, Ye Piao found another paragraph, he slowly read, "The Nine Souls of Heaven are connected, I have already fallen, and am not worthy of being the sky. I will rest here forever to suppress the evil spirits." Ye Piao looked at the strange tombstone as if it was covered in clouds, and scratched his head with a perplexed expression, "The Nine Souls of Heaven are connected to my soul, and I have already fallen, am I not worthy to be the Heavens? I have fallen... "Not worthy of the heavens …"
The more Ye Piao looked at it, the more confused he became. What did the words "I have fallen, I don't deserve to be the heavens" mean? Could it be that the owner of this tomb was the heavens? Ye Wandering turned his head to look at the stone statue behind him. Could this person be Heaven? "Impossible!" Ye Piao shook his head and dismissed his thoughts. "Humans live everyday?" It was impossible.
At this moment, Ye Piao suddenly felt something relax under his feet and he immediately sunk.
"Wow!" Ye Piao let out a scream and immediately used both his hands to prop himself up from the ground. Before his hands could sink into the sand, he used all his strength to prop himself up and escape from the fate of being swallowed by the quicksand.
Ye Piao was still scared as he was forced back dozens of meters. He looked at the sand sand falling down, but what surprised him was that the tomb and the stone statue were unaffected by it.
A moment later, the sound of a horse could be heard. A horse in armor leapt out from the ground, its eyes glowing with a green light, and on its back was a warrior general. He wore armor, a sword hung at his waist, and held a halberd in one hand.
After the general appeared, Ye Piao saw countless skeletons with spears in their hands. There were two ghostly fires in their eyes, one of the skeletons carried a flag that caught Ye Piao's attention. Although the flag looked tattered, Ye Piao was still able to recognize the flag.
Looking at this "?" Ye Piao's heart skipped a beat. He remembered Huo Da telling him that there was an army that had mysteriously disappeared into the Corpse Forest in the early days of the founding of a country. Could it be this army? Ye Piao was terrified as he thought about this. He mechanically looked around at the skeletons that were eyeing him. If it really was the missing army, then he would be surrounded by at least 300,000 skeletons!
Ye Piao was dazed. 300,000 was a number that he would have to count for at least a few days. Now, he was going to have to kill it. Even if he was a zombie, he would be exhausted to death.
Just as Ye Piao was lost in his thoughts, the military general on top of his horse spoke. He pointed his halberd at Ye Piao and said in a low and cold voice, "Those who invade this Heaven's Forbidden Area will be killed without mercy!"
"Wuu ~ ~ ~" As soon as the martial general finished speaking, the surrounding 300,000 skeletons immediately began to emit ghostly wails from their heads. Rings of sound waves were emitted from their opened mouths. The floating dust in the air was also disturbed by the sound waves.
It was only at this moment that Ye Wandering realized that the skeletons were using sound techniques, and it was a type of soul summoning technique. Before Ye Wandering could react, his body exploded with a red light, and ancient and mysterious blood-red runes started to appear from his body, and started to revolve around Ye Wandering's body. Ye Wandering could only feel an unwilling roar in his heart, "Blood Seal! Blood Seal... "Blood Seal!" He then calmed down, and the mysterious ancient runes disappeared back into his body. The red light slowly faded, and Ye Piao came back to his senses. He looked at his own body in shock, not sure if what had just happened was an illusion or reality.
"Heavens …" The martial general muttered to himself, and the red light in his eyes flared, "Heavens!" The sky is coming again! " The general suddenly cried out in fear and immediately fell into the sand. Immediately, he disappeared without a trace. The skeletons also scrambled into the ground. It was as if Ye Wandering was carrying some sort of terrifying infectious disease with him.
In an instant, the 300,000 skeletons disappeared without a trace, as if they had never appeared. Ye Piao was petrified at this moment, and the words that he shouted before he disappeared still echoed in his ears, "Heavens!" The sky is coming again! " What did this mean? Was he a god? What a joke!
Ye Piao laughed self-deprecatingly and looked at the tombstone. He suddenly realized that after what had just happened, there was a small hole beside the tombstone, a hole that led to the tomb.
Ye Piao opened the tombstone and as expected, a hole appeared in front of Ye Piao. A thick aura of death assaulted him, but Ye Piao was a zombie, he had no soul, and his corpse was stiff and strong, so the aura of death did not harm him at all.
Ye Piao hesitated for a moment before jumping down. He wanted to see who the person who called himself "unworthy of the heavens" was. How could he say such arrogant words?
There were actually a lot of magical crystals here, making the tunnel very colorful. Normally, it would be extremely beautiful, but right now, Ye Wandering was in an ancient tomb that had existed for hundreds of years. Not only did these magical crystals not make this place beautiful, they were even more terrifying in an ordinary person's eyes.
Ye Piao picked up a magic crystal that was glowing with a faint blue light. Although he could feel the magic fluctuations emanating from the crystal, it gave him a different feeling. Ye Wandering took out the Purple Demon Crystal that he had dropped from the devil bird's body. The strong purple light immediately illuminated the tomb, causing all the crystals in the tomb to pale in comparison. Ye Wandering couldn't help but be surprised; it seemed this piece of Purple Demon Crystal was really different from the ordinary Demonic Crystal, there must be some kind of mysterious existence inside.
After comparing it with the ordinary magic crystal in his hand, he finally discovered that the purple magic crystal had a burning sensation, as if it had a mind of its own. However, the ordinary magic crystals were ice-cold, and apart from the waves of magic fluctuations, they were no different from ordinary stones.
Even if he sold these magic crystals, they wouldn't have a good price, because previously, Huo Da had told him that Western mages needed magic crystals when they were creating their magic, and any one of the magic crystals here was a top-grade magic crystal. To Ye Wandering, this was undoubtedly a gold mine, and it seemed that he would not have to worry about spending money in the future.
Ye Piao wasn't in a hurry to pick up the magic crystals because the entire tomb was filled with scattered magic crystals. It seemed that the owner of the tomb was indeed strong enough to actually kill these magic beasts after his death.
The tunnel was three or four hundred meters long, making Ye Piao realize that it was not a tomb, but a small path.
After walking for three or four minutes, Ye Wandering finally arrived at the tomb. Entering the tomb, Ye Piao was truly shocked, this was not a tomb, but a cave. Right in front of the cave entrance, there was a golden haired man nailed to the wall by a spear, with a spear in his chest.
At the corner of the cave, there was another corpse. It was also blonde, but there were spider webs on it, which was no different from the ones on top. What made Ye Wandering even more surprised was that this tomb had existed for hundreds of years, but these two corpses hadn't rotted.
To prevent the body from rotting, besides some special techniques, there was also the place where the corpse was kept.
The legend of the body rearing grounds in the East had spread for a long time. When Ye Piao died, he had also stayed in the body rearing grounds. Records of the "body rearing grounds" could be found everywhere in the Eastern Continent. Mountain veins such as "dead cow-belly acupoint", "dog skull acupoint", "hard wooden spearhead", "broken face", "soil is not earth" and so on are all the fierce places to form the main body. The secret manual of the tomb in the east said, "It is more difficult to understand the heavens, and more difficult to recognize the stars." The pulse draws out the heart acupoint is delicate, hides the wind to avoid to kill the purple rose clump. The Stone of Insight was a golden color, and it was bright with both Yin and Yang. This is the yin grave honorable, left for the future generation as true heirloom.
However, if this was a body rearing area, then these two corpses would most likely be zombies. However, Ye Piao didn't find any signs of corpse Qi from these two corpses. This meant that they were not zombies, but just normal corpses.
It was easy to tell from his appearance that he was a westerner from his appearance. On the ground in front of him, Ye Piao discovered a line of twisted characters: Chinese characters, but it looked very awkward, it should have just been learned. Ye Piao thought to himself, the words on the ground were: "I will not die this way, I will …" Then it was gone.
Ye Wandering looked at the corpse and thought, "Is he still alive?" However, he didn't care because people were very nervous before they died.
Now that Ye Piao knew that this was not a grave but a cave that had been buried by his anger a thousand years ago, he walked around in the cave and didn't feel like he had found anything. To him, the two bodies in the cave weren't even as heavy as the magic crystals outside.
Ye Piao threw away the green magic crystal in his hand, turned around, and left the cave. The green magic crystal rolled on the ground, rolling right beside the corpse. A ray of green light flowed into the corpse, and the corpse's fingers gradually began to move …
Right now, he was interestedly picking out the better magic crystals, and the words "The Nine Souls of the Heavens and the Nine Souls are connected, I have already fallen, I am not worthy of being the sky, I have been sleeping here forever, he will never know what kind of calamity he brought to the cultivation world from this unintentional move of his …"
Warning: Ye Piao had unintentionally tossed the magic crystal next to the corpse. Afterwards, he had left without notice, causing great harm to the cultivation world. Who were the two corpses? What was with the strange words on the tombstone? Please see next chapter.
