C16 Start up
"What should we do?" I turned to Liu Li.
"Hmph, would I be afraid?" Liu Li said confidently.
The leader chuckled and waved his hand.
The night wind rustled, the branches swayed, and dense black shadows emerged from the forest one after another.
I suddenly noticed that there was nothing around me, not even the sound of the insects, so I fell into a dead silence.
There was only the full moon hanging in the sky and the endless darkness.
Liu Li glanced around and threw up his hands, "Why don't you come?"
I was shocked. What was going on with this person? I'm still a novice, yet you want me to go up on stage and fight monsters?
Liu Li wanted to say something, but was interrupted by his grandmother.
"Stop making things difficult for Little Four, he hasn't known anything at all these years," Grandma looked at me warmly. "Even after hiding it from you for so many years, you still won't be able to escape."
"Fourth son, remember, you are a member of Wu Shan Shen family." Grandma slowly stood up, "There are some things that, from now on, you will enter another world."
"Watch carefully!"
The moment her grandmother stood up, a strong wind blew. The whistling wind seemed to blow from the endless wilderness, bringing with it a sky full of leaves.
The leaves spun in the wind and gradually formed into a regular pattern. The gale gradually stopped and the leaves slowly fell to the ground, forming a thick layer.
"Is this Ye Hong's ability?" The leader was ready, but after a while, he realized there was nothing coming, so he relaxed.
Grandma didn't answer, she only took out a square stamp and sat on the ground.
"Grandmother, what are you doing?" I was confused.
Liu Li threw away his cigarette and rushed towards the man in black. As he passed me, he said in a low voice, "Your grandmother is setting up a formation. Let's stall for time."
Before I could react, Liu Li had already started fighting with that group of people.
It was only now that I realized Liu Li's true capabilities.
He rushed straight into the group of corpses, punching and kicking them, occasionally causing black shadows to fall. As more and more shadows appeared around him, he didn't have any intention of stopping at all.
"Is he that powerful?" I was flabbergasted. He was usually so sloppy, but I didn't expect him to be so skilled.
"Nonsense," Luo Yi Yi came over and stuffed a dagger into my hand. "All the pavilions are a part of the body transformation technique. It would be strange if he didn't fight so well."
"Why did you give me a dagger?" I looked at the dagger in my hand. This dagger was heavy in my hand. I didn't know what material it was made of, but the body of the dagger was filled with inscriptions that I couldn't recognize.
"Look at those fallen shadows," Luo Yi Yi pointed forward.
Only then did I realize that although Liu Li was continuously knocking down the corpses around him, those corpses that had fallen to the ground quickly stood up again and charged towards Liu Li once more.
"The spirits of these corpses have been sealed within their bodies. If the Yin Sha is not forced out, they will never fall."
As she said that, she stabbed a dagger at me.
I turned pale with fright. Was this person trying to go back on his word?
Before I could dodge, the dagger that was already in front of me tilted and stabbed towards my back.
I turned my head slightly and saw a body slump down behind me.
I let out a long breath and felt scared. "What are you doing? "It scared me to death!"
Luo Yi Yi rolled her eyes at me. "If we were all like you, I'm afraid we'd have died here long ago."
At this moment, the corpses surrounding Liu Li had already split up into a group and were rushing towards us.
"This dagger can temporarily disrupt their fighting strength," Luo Yi Yi said as she brandished the dagger. "Quick! "We can't let them get close to Grandma!"
I jolted and realised that my grandma was still sitting there. This bunch of corpses did not have anyone's personality, who knows what would happen if they got close to my grandma!
I used all my strength and followed Loyalty into the pile of corpses.
I didn't specifically learn anything, so all I knew was to follow Luo Yi Yi's movements and hack. I was lucky enough to hack a few corpses.
But that was only a small number. There was still a steady stream of corpses rushing towards us.
I thought about the truck during the day. If it was really full of bodies, I was afraid the three of us wouldn't be able to make it today.
"Are we going to continue fighting like this?" I struggled among the corpses, fighting to keep myself from being drowned by them.
"This won't do?" Liu Li roared from within the shadows. His voice sounded quite excited, "Xiaanzi, are you Old Master Shen's successor?!"
I almost vomited blood. Before this, I didn't even know what Wu Shan Shen family was! Don't make me sound like I'm with you guys!
"As long as you hand over what I want and leave," the leader said darkly.
I could see that this guy didn't really want my life, but I didn't know what he was trying to get at. What was so important about my grandma's family?
However, what made me even more shocked was the corpses in front of me. Although I don't know mantras, I have a friend from the medical academy.
He once told me how to identify the freshness of a corpse. According to what he taught me, these corpses clearly just died not long ago, and they weren't killed by natural disasters. Their corpses were preserved extremely well.
Until I saw the wound on one of the corpses. It was clearly a wound caused by someone slicing their throat.
I hacked at the corpse beside me with my dagger and stared at the leader.
"These people... Did you kill them all? "
He was stunned for a moment, as if he had not expected me to ask such a question.
"It is their honor to be the corpse that I drive," the leader said with his hands spread wide open in a somewhat fanatical manner, "Do you know how miserable they are living in those countryside? Now that you are able to be of use to me, don't you think you should thank me? "
At this moment, I felt as if I had fallen into a cave of ice. The sounds around me were all leaving me, and I only felt my hands unceasingly trembling.
The next second, I felt like my heart was on fire.
This guy, he actually killed so many people just to get enough bodies to attack us?
Before today, I had never thought that there would be such a person in this world, willing to sacrifice so many innocent people in order to achieve their own goals.
I don't think of myself as a good person, but I would never do something that would harm someone else. This has already exceeded my knowledge.
Am I about to step into such a world?
"Zhu An!"
"Are you okay?"
"Shen Zhu An!"
Loewy's voice brought me out of my stupor, and I looked up blankly.
"What are you doing? Stunned at this time? " Luo Yi Yi shouted anxiously.
"These people... "These people," I said, looking around me with empty eyes, "were all killed by him?"
"What do you think?" Luo Yiyi fiercely pinched me. "This guy must be an evil cultivator from Xiangxi. If we were to cultivate normally, there's no way he would have ordered so many corpses. Furthermore, he wouldn't have brought so many corpses along the right path."
As if grabbing onto my lifesaver, I tightly held onto her arm. "You mean that normal cultivation wouldn't do these things?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense!" Luo Yi Yi brandished her dagger to prevent any sudden attacks, "Life, luck, and wind, the right path is to cultivate one's life. Who would be like this guy who is not afraid of backlash and uses this kind of evil method to speed up his cultivation?"
My spirit suddenly rose. That's right, cultivation Tao techniques shouldn't be like this. This fellow is an evil cultivator!
I stood up, and at the same time my grandmother's voice came from behind me.
"Start!"
