Chapter 85: Raising Corpses 3

  Everyone was stunned upon hearing this, how could he have died? The time it took for them to catch up wasn't long, and they hadn't seen any strong winds.

  At this moment, Wen Baiyu suddenly let out a "hiss" and dropped Zhou Chengyi's body. He took a step back and saw that many insects were crawling out of Zhou Chengyi's mouth, including white maggots.

  It seems that because Wen Baiyu just moved the corpse, those insects in Zou Chengyi's belly were startled, so they crawled out one after another, which scared Wen Baiyu.

  So many worms, how did they crawl out of Zou Chengyi's belly?

  Wan Xi Jing Hou walked over, squatted down and pressed Zhou Cheng Yi's limbs, furrowing his brow to say: "A person only starts to get cold after death three to four hours later, obviously we didn't take that long on the way here."

  He said, and with a flick of his wrist, he lifted up Zou Chengyi's pant leg. The crowd was shocked to see that under Zou Chengyi's pant leg were two legs, complete and intact, not icy blue bones.

  Wen Baiyu was momentarily speechless and said: "This... what's going on?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "I'm afraid he is not Zou Chengyi."

  "But they look too alike."

  Wan Jie Jing Hou reached out to touch the corpse's face, and near the chin, there was a piece of raised skin. Wan Jie Jing Hou grasped that small piece of skin and pulled hard.

  Just then, a "ripping" sound was heard, and the skin was actually pulled down by Wan Qi Jing Hou, causing everyone to take in a breath of cold air.

  The beast drilled into the snake's neck, its two ears shaking wildly, saying: "Oh my god, the tyrant has torn off someone's face!"

  The little blood lotus flower was perched on Guan Nan's palm, and with its two fleshy hands, it carefully covered its eyes.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou actually pulled down a human skin, this corpse was wearing a human skin mask, because the time of death was too long, even the belly had begun to grow maggots, so the human skin mask began to show signs of shedding.

  Underneath the skin, this corpse surprisingly had no face, a sheet of blood glistened, as if it was really Marquis Wan who tore off his facial skin.

  Especially this corpse/body still had its mouth open, and from the mouth hole came out a string of worms, white maggots drilled out from inside, Wen Baiyu suddenly felt a wave of nausea in her throat, almost vomiting.

  Wen Baiyu said: "What's going on? This person's body, whether tall or short, fat or thin, is almost identical to Zou Chengyi's. He's even wearing a human skin mask that looks just like Zou Chengyi's. What's his goal?"

  Everyone was somewhat puzzled, but fortunately it wasn't Zou Chengyi, which also made them breathe a sigh of relief.

  The maggots crawled out of the belly of the corpse, and the house was once again filled with that putrid smell, which was really too hard to bear. Everyone retreated from inside.

  Everyone doesn't know where Zou Chengyi and Xi Feng went, whether they encountered danger or not. Previously, Zou Chengyi said that a big zongzi was raised here, which was nurtured with various blood/corpses, and it must be more powerful than ordinary zongzi. Since Zou Chengyi's legs are inconvenient, everyone can't help but worry.

  In front of it was pitch black, there was no movement or sound, everything was quiet.

  The crowd continued to move forward, and soon they saw a door next to them. Wen Baiyu looked at Wan Jingshou, then stretched out his hand to push it open, and heard a "creak" as the door opened.

  Everyone took a cold breath, and no one cared if the house was smelly or not, they all forgot to cover their mouths and noses.

  Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "Is it Zou Chengyi again?"

  The beast said: "Master, you are wrong, it should be a house full of Zhōu Chéng Yī."

  As soon as he said this, everyone felt a chill run down their backs and couldn't help but shudder, just like when listening to a ghost story.

  Because of the experience just now, everyone walked in and started checking individually.

  All I saw was a house of about 30 square meters, with about 20 "Zou Chengyi" piled up inside. They were all wearing black Chinese tunic suits, their faces were pale, their lips were light orange, and even their hands were adorned with rings and thumb rings.

  And they all became stiff and cold.

  Wen Baiyu this time grew a mind, first lifted/open those corpses' pant legs, indeed, all the corpses' legs were intact, and did not appear like Zou Chengyi with broken bones.

  Perhaps these people were not disabled before they died.

  Those corpses/bodies are all identical, Wen Baiyu almost felt that this was a room filled with many mirrors, otherwise how could she see so many people who looked the same.

  From clothes to face, even height and weight, they are exactly the same, without any difference at all.

  Those corpses were well-preserved, only icy and stiff, emitting a putrid stench, but the faces and bodies of the corpses had not decayed at all.

  Wen Baiyu pressed down on the corpse's belly, and indeed it was bulging. Before long, a rustling sound could be heard, and many insects ran out from inside, including those white maggots.

  Wen Baiyu was shocked, so many "Zou Chengyi", he couldn't understand what it was for.

  Is it someone from the Divine Crow Tribe who wants to replace Zou Chengyi with a puppet?

  Wen Baiyu felt that this was the only point that made sense.

  To avoid having the real Zou Chengyi inside, everyone lifted up their pant legs to take a look. None of them were the real Zou Chengyi, and everyone let out a sigh of relief.

  Wen Baiyu looked at those corpses, always feeling a chill run down her spine, always thinking that it wasn't just puppets, and a strange idea kept emerging.

  The real Zou Chengyi was not found in the room, and everyone came out again, preparing to take a look at other rooms.

  Mo Jie Jing Hou said, "Just now those merfolk corpses blocked our way, obviously not wanting us to discover what's inside. Could it be that they didn't want us to find this pile of 'Zou Cheng Yi' corpses?"

  Everyone else was also puzzled, they walked forward several rooms, without exception, inside were all "Zou Chengyi", and they had all died. What they found again was that some corpses hadn't even grown maggots, and their joints were still soft, there were no livor mortis, their joints were still soft, their skin still maintained elasticity, and their body temperature was much higher than the room temperature. This meant that this "Zou Chengyi" had died not long ago, but he didn't have any fatal injuries, not even a single wound.

  The more people see Zou Chengyi, the more they feel a chill down their spine. What is this for? What's the purpose of it all?

  Everyone looked forward and saw five doors, just as they opened the sixth door, it was finally different, and Zou Chengyi was not here.

  There was no Zou Chengyi in the room, this place looked more like a workroom. In the house, there was an iron large workbench with various tools on it, from pliers and tweezers to paintbrushes and eyebrow pencils, which were all complete. A large workbench had piled up countless things.

  In the pitch-black room, in the corner still stood a black coffin...

  There was a coffin here, and everyone was shocked, then became vigilant.

  The room temperature was extremely low, and a chill emanated from the coffin. The coffin lid was actually open, quietly leaning against the wall on one side.

  In the dark room, there was a light. Wen Baiyu couldn't help but flip it on with a "click". The light was very bright and the pale white rays shone down from above, illuminating the entire room at once. However, this pale light also revealed an eerie atmosphere.

  As soon as the light was turned on, everyone saw clearly that there were not only tools on the workbench, but also a pile of things in the innermost place. Those things were a bit soft and were stacked one by one in the corner, slightly larger than a palm.

  As people walked by, they saw that the somewhat soft thing was actually a stack of human skin masks!

  Although the human skin mask was flat and didn't have a three-dimensional puffy face, Wen Baiyu was certain that this was Zhou Chengyi's mask!

  Everyone was shocked, so many people/skins/faces, and made with such fine workmanship. Wen Baiyu's mind flashed, this must be someone close to Zou Chengyi or someone who understands Zou Chengyi...

  Everyone looked at the things on the workbench and then turned their gaze to the coffin in the corner.

  A black coffin lay quietly on the ground, its lid standing upright beside it, with a corpse lying inside.

  The body size is similar to that of Zou Chengyi, and the corpse/body is well preserved, but only the facial skin has been removed, as if waiting for Zou Chengyi's person/skin mask.

  Everyone felt a wave of nausea in their stomachs, and the monster said: "Huh, why do I feel so perverted?"

  Everyone's mind was left with only one sentence: what on earth is going on?

  Wen Baiyu searched the room and found nothing else except for this corpse. It was clear that this was a workshop, and the things here were unfinished semi-finished products. Moreover, it could be confirmed that each tool had only one piece, and there was only one chair, indicating that when making Zou Chengyi, there was only one person involved.

  Just as everyone was about to leave, Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly said: "It's moving."

  Everyone's heart tightened, and sure enough, they heard two "thuds", the coffin suddenly started shaking back and forth, and the corpse inside seemed to be crawling out.

  Just as everyone looked at the coffin, the "Zou Chengyi" semi-finished product, who was wearing a black Chinese tunic suit but still had no skin on his face, had already crawled out of the coffin.

  Unlike Zou Chengyi, his legs were very agile and not disabled at all. He immediately walked over with a shake, a bloody face staring at them, with no eyeballs in his eye sockets.

  Wan Ji Jing Hou saw Wen Bai Yu standing still and said, "Go."

  "Wen Baiyu suddenly came back to her senses and said: 'I was thinking, maybe it's because his eyes weren't Zhou Chengyi's light brown color, so they were dug out?'"

  Everyone felt a little nauseous when they heard it, and grabbed Wen Baiyu to walk out. Wan Qi Jinghou quickly closed the door, and just listened to "Dong!" A sound, that zombie suddenly rushed over, and slammed against the door heavily.

  The door was made of wood and looked very solid, but there was no lock on the door, nor was there a door ring. General Wan could only hold onto the door handle with both hands.

  "Bang!"

  Bang!!

  The zongzi was still bumping against the door, and it wasn't clear whether it was using its head or hands to bang on the door. Anyway, a "thud thud" sound came from inside.

  "What's going on? You can't always be dragging..."

  Just as his voice fell, a "bang! crack..." was heard, and a bloody hand smashed open the wooden door and stretched out from the hole.

  Bloodshot eyes stared out after his hand stretched out and started scratching wildly. Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "Help me hold the door!"

  Wen Baiyu hastily reached out to pull the tomb door, while the hand of the zongzi stretched out and grabbed randomly, still bumping against the door nonstop.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou then stretched out his hand to grab the dragon scale dagger, and with a "pa" sound, he drew it out of its scabbard. In an instant, he chopped off the hand that was holding the zongzi, and it fell to the ground with another "pa" sound.

  Blood splattered everywhere, and the unluckiest ones were Wen Baiyu, who was holding onto the door, and Wan Kuang Jinghou. Both of them were covered in blood.

  Guan Nan saw a severed hand lying on the ground, with a small blood lotus flower still stuck in its palm. She quickly tried to cover her eyes, but the little blood lotus flower instead pushed her hand away and looked at the severed hand on the ground with great interest, eating it while seeming not afraid at all.

  The oppressed beast said: "Tyrant, you are too tyrannical."

  That dumpling seemed to feel pain, and quickly withdrew its hand. Then, a loud "bang... crash... boom!" was heard from the workshop. The dumpling appeared to have gone mad, causing chaos in the workshop.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou waved his hand and said: "Leave."

  He said, pulling Wen Baiyu forward as they ran, Wen Baiyu touched the blood splattered on his face and thought to himself that this corpse blood shouldn't be poisonous, right.

  They ran forward, and soon after, a loud "bang" sound was heard from behind, the door of the studio was smashed into a big hole, and the zongzi inside ran out.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou turned his head to the left and saw a large iron gate with chains wrapped around it, but it was not locked. He immediately pulled out the chain and opened the gate, beckoning everyone to enter through the iron gate.

  Everyone rushed in and closed the big door, only then did they let out a sigh of relief, looking back at the room behind them.

  This is a very large room, compared with other rooms, it's over fifty square meters in size. There are no windows and the interior is pitch black.

  This is a very formal room, with very dignified decorations inside, tables and chairs are all available, and there are tea sets.

  Wen Baiyu discovered a strange thing, there were two sets of tables, chairs and tea utensils here, which were very clean, spotless.

  Looking further to the side, there is a large wardrobe, then a big bed, and on the big bed, a package bulges up.

  The little beast whispered: "There's someone on the bed!"

  There was indeed someone on the bed, lying in the quilt, seemingly fast asleep. Since his back was turned, it was impossible to see who he was, but he wasn't very tall.

  A soft and fluffy head of hair, this silhouette they had seen too many times in the past half hour, so at a glance it was likely to be Zou Chengyi again!

  What's different is that this Zou Chengyi is actually lying on the bed sleeping?

  At this moment, the person on the bed seemed to have moved a little and was actually not a corpse.

  He seemed to stretch, then propped himself up with both hands and sat up, at which point he turned his head and looked at them.

  Soft hair, light brown eyes, pale orange lips, fair skin, and a slightly pointed chin, exactly the same as Zou Chengyi.

  He sat up, looked at everyone, and tilted his head slightly. Everyone felt a numbness in the back of their necks.

  But that person didn't say a word, suddenly lifted his quilt, and it was a pair of perfect legs, indeed not the real Zou Chengyi.

  That man suddenly got out of bed, his bare feet stepped on the ground, looking at everyone, his throat obviously gulped a few times, but he didn't open his mouth to speak, and instead made a "heh heh" sound.

  "Wan Baiyu said: "Zongzi?""

  The monster said: "I've never seen a zongzi (glutinous rice dumpling) sleep with a quilt!"

  Wen Bai Yu Xing said: I haven't seen it either...

  That zongzi just stood there looking at them, then his gaze swept across the crowd and landed on Wen Baiyu. He suddenly took a step forward, as if sniffing out a scent, and revealed a hint of a smile, but the smile seemed somewhat out of place on his face.

  Perhaps it's the feeling of wearing a mask, Zou Chengyi doesn't often smile in daily life, but when he does, it feels very elegant, revealing a hint of youthful awkwardness. But this zongzi (glutinous rice dumpling), when it smiles, its skin doesn't smile with it, and when it's not smiling, it looks just like Zou Chengyi, but when it does smile, it breaks the illusion, as if it's a kind of terrifying, grotesque smile.

  Wen Baiyu took a deep breath and retreated half a step, only to see the zongzi reveal an envious expression, gazing at him greedily.

  Wen Bai thought that it must be the positive energy on her body, but isn't this underground room supposed to emphasize using yin to fill yang? Yet, Zongzi actually likes yang energy?

  Wen Baiyu quietly grasped the phoenix bone dagger in his hand and took a step back, just as he retreated, Zongzi finally couldn't bear it anymore and let out a "giggle" sound, pouncing on him at once.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou was also well-prepared, and when the zongzi came flying at him, he immediately blocked it with a swift motion, using the momentum to slash at the zongzi's face. The dragon-scale dagger sliced through iron like mud, leaving a long gash on the zongzi's face that started from its nose. Fresh blood gushed out, and its face seemed to be split in two. Its mask began to roll up towards both sides.

  Xue Mu hugged Guan Nan, and with one push, the iron door was knocked open. Outside the door, another faceless zongzi was still lurking around, and as soon as it saw someone coming out, it immediately pounced to bite.

  A few vines stretched out from behind the blood marrow, "swish" and tied up the shameless zongzi in an instant, lifted it up, and then "swish" again, throwing it out.

  The zongzi flew out very far and hit the ground with a "thud".

  Xiao Xuemu's eyes widened in amazement as she stared at Guan Nan's hand, then clapped her hands excitedly, seemingly finding it very interesting.

  This is simply a demon king of chaos...

  The iron gate was opened, and the crowd rushed out. The zongzi had its skin scratched off, and it became furious, letting out a loud "gagging" sound, as if trying to stick its skin back on. It tried several times but failed, then let out a few more loud roars and chased after them as they ran out.

  The voice of Zongzi is very rough and doesn't sound like Zou Chengyi at all.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "This zongzi is nurtured by blood/dead."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Is this the big zongzi that Zou Chengyi was talking about?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "Maybe. There's corpse poison in his blood, whatever you do, don't let him touch you."

  Wen Baiyu turned around and looked at Wan Kuang Jinghou, only to see a burn mark on the back of his hand. It seemed that he had come into contact with the corpse poison's blood. However, the marks were not large and were healing quickly.

  Everyone ran forward, suddenly hearing the "rustling" sound coming from the front, several people stopped immediately, not knowing who was coming from the front, and maybe it was another zongzi.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou beckoned with his hand, signaling to the crowd not to move forward. The "shasha" sound was very light and moved quickly, as if there was some foundation.

  Next to it was a broken door. After pushing it open, inside were the corpses of "Zou Chengyi". Everyone hid in and then half-covered the door.

  The zongzi who was scratched on the face by Wan Kuai Jinghou quickly caught up, because the corpse energy in the door was very strong, and it instantly overwhelmed everyone's breath. He didn't feel anything, but instead wanted to continue chasing forward.

  The zongzi mouth made a "gurgling" sound, and soon saw people coming from the front, that "rustling" sound was very light.

  Everyone looked out from the gap, and the newcomer was wearing all black clothes, it turned out to be Yi Feng!

  Wen Baiyu was a bit worried. They hid here and Zongzi wouldn't find them, but Yi Feng was about to run into Zongzi.

  The zongzi indeed saw the evil wind, tilted its head, and earlier when everyone saw the zongzi tilting its head, it still had a somewhat cute appearance, after all Zou Chengyi's face was very good-looking, but now it was completely out of place.

  The current Zongzi, his face was almost split in two by Wan Qi Jing Hou, the mask was also stuck on, half loose and half tight on his face. When he tilted his head, the mask would stick to his face with a bloody sound, making people feel sick at the sight.

  He Yi Feng saw this person and was taken aback for a moment, then scanned him up and down, seeing his intact legs, and his eyes returned to being indifferent.

  Wen Baiyu thought to herself, Ah, Feng is indeed Ah Feng. One glance and she could tell that this was fake.

  He finished thinking and suddenly felt that strange feeling rising again, but couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

  Wen Baiyu shook his head, focusing on the scene outside, unaware of how powerful this giant zongzi was. In case the wind couldn't handle it, they would definitely have to go out and help at any time.

  Zongzi saw the wind and made a "giggle" sound in his mouth, then immediately walked over.

  It's indeed walking over, absolutely not pouncing over, and doesn't have the fierce appearance from just now. The "heh heh" sound in its mouth is very coarse, but it sounds very gentle...

  Gentle...

  Wen Baiyu didn't know why he thought so, but he indeed wanted to use the word "gentle" to describe that voice.

  Zongzi walked over, Yi Feng just narrowed his eyes and didn't move. Zongzi started making further moves, and suddenly tiptoed up to lean against Yi Feng's body, wrapping both hands around Yi Feng's neck.

  Wen Baiyu was suddenly speechless, what is this zongzi for, it feels a bit off.

  As expected, I saw that the zongzi actually lifted its face up, its skin still twinkling and moving, and it even lifted its face to kiss the wind...

  Wen Baiyu seemed to be able to imagine that stench of blood/flesh smell.

  Wen Baiyu saw that the wind had stopped moving, and the zongzi was about to come closer. He still didn't move, but just lowered his head to look at the zongzi.

  Zongzi's blood had stained Yi Feng's black windbreaker, but Yi Feng still didn't move.

  Wen Baiyu was somewhat puzzled. The glance she had just exchanged with Feng, clearly showed that he knew the zongzi was fake and there was even some disgust in his eyes, but why didn't he move?

  Wen Baiyu was about to rush out to help, but Wan Jingshou grabbed him and whispered, "Wait."

  As he spoke, a "gurgling" sound came over, it was the sound of a wheelchair!

  It was definitely Zou Chengyi, and since Zou Chengyi was fine, Wen Baiyu felt a little relieved.

  The old man seemed to have also heard the sound of the wheelchair and narrowed his long eyes, suddenly stretching out his hand and grasping Zongzi's neck.

  The dumpling was pinched and suddenly lifted up, and both feet immediately left the ground.

  At this time, Zou Chengyi indeed came over in a wheelchair. One of his arms was somewhat weak and hung down limply. He turned the wheelchair with one hand, seemingly very inconvenient.

  Moreover, Zou Chengyi's eyes couldn't see anything. He tried his best to open his eyes wide, but they were icy blue and full of confusion, unable to see anything. The wheelchair kept tilting to one side and got stuck on the wall several times.

  "What's wrong?"

  Zou Chengyi seemed to have heard some noise and called out uncertainly.

  Yi Feng didn't respond immediately, but instead turned his head to look at Zou Chengyi. The raised zongzi couldn't help but make a "giggle" sound, with a very coarse tone. His eyes staring at Yi Feng revealed a hint of fear.

  Zou Chengyi heard the sound of zongzi, and his face immediately showed a cautious expression. His good right hand gently rubbed the red ring on his finger.

  Just then, "Ka!" a loud noise, the wind suddenly used force, and with one twist, it broke off the head of the zongzi. The zongzi let out a loud cry of "Kuo!", and its head fell down with a thud.

  The wind seemed to have thrown the zongzi to the ground with some disgust, making a "thud" sound.

  Zou Chengyi frowned as he listened to the sound and let the wheelchair continue rolling forward, saying: "Yi Feng?"

  The wind just passed by and said: "Young master."

  Zou Cheng's face showed a look of surprise and he said, "It really is you."

  Yi Feng took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands clean while squatting down to examine Zou Chengyi's injuries.

  Zou Cheng's arm was broken and hung limply by his side, with some abrasions on his forehead that weren't serious but had gotten dirty.

  Everyone saw that the big zongzi was easily solved by Yifeng, and they couldn't help but be surprised. Moreover, the zongzi almost stupidly delivered itself to be solved.

  Everyone saw that Feng He and Zou Chengyi were fine, so they immediately came out of the room. Zou Chengyi heard some noise and turned his ear to say: "Wen Baiyu?"

  Wen Baiyu put down her backpack, took out a simple tool from inside, fixed Zhou Cheng's arm, and then took out some medicine and handed it to Xi Feng.

  Yi Feng took a cotton swab and antiseptic solution, first cleaned the wound on Zou Chengyi's forehead, then applied the medicine.

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'After you fell down, did you encounter anything strange?'"

  Zou Cheng shook his head and said, "Nothing."

  Zou Chengyi didn't see it, perhaps he didn't notice those corpses that looked very similar to himself. However, there was something strange - the corpse of Yi Feng jumped down afterwards and ended up walking in front of Zou Chengyi, it's unknown what happened.

  Zou Chengyi heard Wen Baiyu ask this way, and he must have something on his mind. He said, "What's wrong? What happened to you guys?"

  Wen Baiyu recounted what had just happened and also mentioned that he found many corpses that looked similar to him.

  Zou Chengyi was slightly surprised and didn't speak for a while.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Is someone trying to replace you, so they made many puppets?"

  Zou Cheng shook his head and said, "The Divine Crow Clan worships strength. If someone has great abilities, they can become the clan leader. The position of clan leader is not hereditary, there's no need to set up a puppet."

  Wen Baiyu thought for a moment, what if this person wasn't as strong as Zou Chengyi?

  But thinking again, it's not right. Zou Chengyi is now disabled in both legs and blind, with severe osteoporosis. For him, living one more day is a day, so there's no need to go through such great lengths to be a puppet.

  Zou Chengyi couldn't figure out why either.

  Zou Chengyi and Xi Feng fell from the opposite side, they walked down from the other end, both sides were just connected, they walked a head-on.

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'Have you found the dan furnace?'"

  He shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's still up there."

  The crowd followed the original path back and retreated, preparing to continue searching for the alchemy furnace.

  Only the underground second floor is a tomb structure, and it's an inverted tomb. It feels very uncomfortable to walk around.

  The dome has shattered, and the ground is a mess. The bodies of those merfolk have gone who-knows-where.

  As they walked out of the dark passage in the tomb, they did not see those mermaid corpses.

  Everyone walked out of the tomb, and there was still a road ahead that they could continue on. Zhou Chengyi's wheelchair had undergone some slight deformation, although it wasn't anything serious. However, since Zhou Chengyi's arm was broken, every jolt made his hand ache, and he let out a faint "hiss" sound.

  The wind bent down and said: "Young master, let me hold you."

  Zou Cheng shook his head, he didn't want to waste energy on Yi Feng, this underground room was treacherous and the enemy was in the dark, they couldn't guess what they were doing. Moreover, Professor Fang who had gone missing was also here, it was very dangerous to waste energy casually.

  The wind seemed to have not seen him shake his head, stretched out his hand and picked him up.

  Zou Chengyi struggled twice and said: "What are you doing? Let me down."

  "Ah, Master, don't move, your bones are going to be dislocated."

  Zou Chengyi listened to his faint voice, seemingly numb and helpless. Recently, the wind's courage had grown bolder, occasionally kissing his lips, even touching him, and disobeying orders. Fortunately, these things were still within bounds. Zou Chengyi felt that his tolerance was growing stronger; otherwise, he wouldn't have tolerated a slave not listening to his words.

  He picked up Zou Chengyi and threw the wheelchair away, planning to abandon it and pick it up on his way out.

  As the crowd walked in, Guan Nan's body was no longer so weak, but Xue Mu didn't let him down. Guan Nan had no choice, and although Xue Mu didn't say a word, his gaze seemed to have changed, making Guan Nan's heart beat faster.

  The crowd walked along the tomb path, everything was reversed. When they reached the nearest end, they saw a huge tomb chamber. The stone gate of the tomb chamber was half-closed and not tightly closed.

  Wen Baiyu and Wan Kui Jinghou pushed the stone gate, opening it to both sides, and suddenly heard a "rumbling" sound. The stone gate opened with a loud noise, and the things inside were also upside down. A coffin was hanging from the sky, but this coffin was a bit strange because its size couldn't fit an adult.

  There are also many burial objects next to the tomb, all made of bones, which are also hanging upside down in the sky.

  There is one thing in this tomb chamber that has not toppled over.

  A huge bronze cauldron!

  Wen Baiyu looked at the huge tripod with some surprise. Wan Qi Jinghou walked over, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the body of the bronze tripod, on which many patterns were carved, looking very delicate. However, due to the long passage of time, the patterns on this tripod had almost worn off.

  A faint smell of rust wafted from Ding's body, and there were some rusty marks between the flower patterns.

  Guan Nan looked at the huge tripod, which was taller than a person, and said: "What is this thing? Is it the alchemy furnace we're looking for?"

  Wan Qi Jinghou seemed to recognize the thing and said, "This is the Nine Tripods of the Xia Dynasty. Da Yu divided the world into nine states and used the bronze from the nine states to cast the Nine Tripods. From then on, the tripods became a supreme symbol. The Nine Tripods were the treasured heirlooms of the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, and many countries at that time believed that whoever got the Nine Tripods would get the world. Later, the whereabouts of the Nine Tripods became unclear. When Qin Shi Huang was on his eastern tour, he saw a large bronze tripod floating out of the water in Pengcheng's Si River. According to historical records, Shi Huang 'ordered a thousand people to dive into the water to search for it, but they couldn't get it.' Legend has it that when the bronze tripod was being pulled out of the water, a dragon head suddenly drilled out of the large tripod and bit off the rope, causing the bronze tripod to fall back into the Si River.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou stretched out his hand to touch the rust on the body of the tripod and said, "This thing, if I'm not mistaken, is the Si River bronze tripod that Qin Shi Huang wanted to salvage."

  Everyone was surprised, and Guan Nan said: "Isn't that a priceless treasure? How did it suddenly appear here?"

  Wen Baiyu looked around and said, "The bronze tripod was cast by the people of Da Yu, and it is also a ritual vessel for sacrifice, representing the orthodox spirit. This bronze tripod has not been overturned, and it seems that it has not been affected by the tomb, so it must not have come from this tomb."

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou said: "Don't worry about so much, Qin Shi Huang's Si River dredging tripod, in fact, is to use this treasure that has been passed down through the ages to refine elixirs and seek eternal youth."

  He said to Wen Baiyu, "First take out the medicine, let's hurry up, lest there be changes if we're late."

  Wen Baiyu nodded and immediately took out the elixir of the strange snake and the soil of Huai'an country from her backpack, finally looking at Xue Mu.

  The blood marrow didn't say a word, but with a flick of his palm, a flower suddenly appeared. The petals had been plucked off in several places, and although it looked charming, it seemed rather pitiful.

  Xuě Suǐ directly threw the flower to Wēn Bái Yǔ, Wēn Bái Yǔ saw him being so generous, but didn't think it through and picked a few petals, in the end she picked two, and then returned the Xuě Suǐ flower to Xuě Suǐ.

  Ding was extremely tall, much taller than a person. Wen Baiyu prepared three kinds of medicine and said: "I'll transform into a swan goose, put the things inside, and you light it up later."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou nodded, and Wen Bai Yu put the three medicinal materials on the ground. With a sudden movement of his body, he transformed into a swan goose, lowered his head to peck at the medicinal materials on the ground, and quickly flapped his wings, suddenly soaring into the sky.

  There was a person not too tall, but not too short either. Wen Baiyu rushed up and was about to throw something into the cauldron, but just as he opened his mouth, he suddenly froze, and then his wings shook rapidly twice.

  Everyone looked up at Wen Baiyu's movements, all somewhat puzzled, and didn't know what Wen Baiyu had seen in the tripod, to be so surprised.

  At the same time, the huge bronze cauldron suddenly began to vibrate, emitting a "rumbling..." sound, and its body slightly trembled, as if something inside was awakening.

  Wan Jie Jing Hou raised his head to take a look, and Wen Bai Yu had quickly descended, transforming into human form beside him in an instant. Wan Jie Jing Hou immediately draped his clothes over him.

  Wen Baiyu said: "The tripod has east and west, the little ghost in the ancient tomb of Ye Lang."

  Everyone was shocked by his words. The little ghost from the ancient tomb of Night Lang actually ran into the bronze tripod, which was also too unbelievable.

  The bronze tripod shook, and then a hand was placed on the edge of the tripod. It was actually an infant's hand, which was struggling to climb out.

  Slowly revealing the baby's head, his face was full of sly smiles, and his eyes were blue, looking at them, suddenly emitting light.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou grabbed Wen Bai Yu and said: "Kneel down!"

  Guan Nan Xue Su, and also the fake beast and the transformed snake do not know what this little ghost is, but it looks very formidable, its whole body filled with a chilly aura.

  A small ghost emerged from the large tripod, resembling a gecko, and crawled down along the bronze tripod. The blue light in its eyes flashed over, landing on the rounded top of the stone slab, which suddenly flew up into the air.

  Wen Baiyu raised his head and saw that there was a blood spot on the temple of the little ghost, saying: "Was he also being kept by someone?"

  Zou Chengyi said: "Isn't it said that after a ghost recognizes its master, it won't change masters again? Could this be the tomb of the Night Lang Ancient Country? That's not right either, this place is too far from Night Lang."

  Hei Feng hugged Zou Chengyi and dodged the blue light of the little ghost, suddenly lifted his leg and kicked the bronze tripod heavily.

  The large tripod suddenly emitted a "boom" sound, followed by the reverberation of the earthquake, echoing in the tomb chamber, deafening, Guan Nan and Zou Cheng's bodies were weak, hearing this sound, feeling that their ears were about to become deaf.

  That little ghost was shocked, suddenly fell from the big tripod, eyes closed, the blue light in his eyes disappeared, quickly crawling forward, bypassing the crowd from the tomb chamber crawled out, soon disappeared into the darkness.

  This sudden change was quite unexpected, and the little ghost actually fled in disarray due to a loud noise, no longer attacking them. For a moment, there was only the echo of the large tripod in the tomb, still faintly visible.

  Everyone shook their heads, feeling a little dizzy. Yi Feng asked: "Young Master, are you okay?"

  Zou Chengyi also had some tinnitus and couldn't hear what he was saying at all. His ears were buzzing.

  Wen Baiyu stood up, rubbed his ears, and cursed that kick from Yi Feng was really powerful. However, the bronze cauldron surprisingly remained intact, without any damage at all.

  "Quickly put the things in."

  Wen Baiyu nodded, transformed into a swan and carried three medicinal materials in her beak. She quickly flew up to the sky and threw the three medicinal materials into the cauldron. This time, there was nothing else inside the cauldron. Wen Baiyu then quickly descended back down to the ground.

  Wen Baiyu was putting on his clothes while Wan Zongjinghou quickly lit the bronze tripod, roughly knowing what alchemy looked like, but neither of them had actually practiced it before.

  Actually, every emperor wants to pursue immortality, but Wan Zhi Jing Hou does not pursue this kind of thing. Because he knew early on that he would not live beyond the age of thirty, even if he pursued immortality, it would be in vain. Therefore, Wan Zhi Jing Hou also had no experience in this regard.

  The big fire was burning the bronze tripod, and soon a strange fragrance wafted out of it, like the scent of blood lotus flowers mixed with something else, anyway the smell was very weird.

  Xiao Xuemai flower perched on Guan Nan's palm, looking at the big tripod, sniffing with her nose, feeling fragrant, and couldn't help but sniff again, putting her fingers in her mouth to savor, looking quite hungry.

  Guan Nan saw that Xiao Xue Miao was eating his hand, and quickly pulled his fingers out of her mouth. Earlier, Xiao Xue Miao had been crawling on the ground, but now she was eating hands, and Guan Nan worried that she might eat something dirty. This place was a graveyard, and if she got poisoned, it would be terrible.

  Xiao Xuemu stared at Guan Nan with wide eyes, then let out two "ahs" and pointed to her own belly.

  Seems like I'm hungry.

  Guan Nan was at a loss now. This place was filled with corpses, and they were refining dan pills. They wouldn't be able to leave for a while, so where could they find something for him to eat?

  Little Blood's face puckered up, especially wronged, and was about to cry out loud.

  At this time, Xue Mu slowly took out a small wooden bottle, inside was flower/honey.

  Xiao Xue Mu Hua suddenly became happy when she saw the wooden bottle, clapping her hands and pointing at the wooden bottle, as if she knew there was food inside.

  But this wooden bottle is really too big for Xiaoxuehua, he can't eat anything inside at all.

  Just as Guan Nan was about to help him pour some out, he heard two "whooshing" sounds. Two vines stretched out from behind the small Blood Orchid and wrapped around the wooden bottle in Blood Orchid's hand, pulling it away. The vines then suspended the bottle in mid-air, tilting it to one side, allowing the nectar to slowly flow out, dripping into the small Blood Orchid's mouth with a "drip-drip" sound.

  Everyone was shocked when they saw it, and only then did they remember that the Blood Marrow Flower itself was a very frightening creature. They had been deceived by the small Blood Marrow Flower's cute appearance. This thing has strong combat power from a young age, and is of the tentacle type...

  Little Blood Orchid rolled up the wooden bottle, eating with great relish. The honey dripped down and got all over his face. Little Blood Orchid ate a whole bottle of honey, everyone was afraid he would burst his belly.

  But Xiaoxue is a premature baby, her body is weak and she's small, so she needs to supplement a lot of nutrition, eating more is a good thing, at least it's better than not eating.

  The little blood marrow flower was eaten up, and with a smack of her lips, the tendril swung the wooden bottle, then sat in Guan Nan's palm, patting her own plump little belly.

  Everyone was tired from standing, so they sat down around the bronze cauldron. Wen Baiyu flipped out two pieces of dragon scale and looked at them, but it seemed like there were no methods written on them, so they could only try their luck.

  After an hour of firing, Wen Baiyu went to take a look and found that the contents were still in lumps and had not taken shape. Moreover, they were not the light blue pills they had seen before, so they could only continue waiting.

  Everyone sat on the ground, waiting for a long time, and they were all about to fall asleep. Xiao Xue Mu Hua crawled down from Guan Nan's hand and crawled around on the ground, seemingly very interested in the flames of the fire spirit. Several times it tried to crawl over, but was blocked by Wen Bai Yu.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Take care of your son, he's going to set himself on fire."

  Guan Nan was taken aback when he heard the three words "your son", seemingly not realizing that Xiao Xue Hua was his own son, and also the son of Xue Hua.

  Guan Nan looked at Wen Baiyu in surprise, and Wen Baiyu immediately rubbed her face, turned her head to ask Wan Qi Jing Hou: "Why is your disciple so simple?"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou lightly laughed and said: "En, follow me."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu has already reached a realm of admiration for Wan Kuangjing's thick skin, and can't say anything about it.

  The little blood lotus flower reached out to touch the flames, but was stopped by Wen Baiyu. She turned around and crawled back, then saw the Xiang beast sitting on top of the transformed snake body. It lifted its small head and curiously looked at the Xiang beast.

  Then came a "swish-swish" sound, and two vines suddenly shot out, wrapping around the beast's tail.

  "Ah!"

  The beast was startled, turned its head and saw that two green vines had wrapped around its tail, the fluffy tail was being pulled, and on those vines were even cute little green leaves.

  The little blood mandrake was like a prankster, wrapping itself around the fox's tail and tugging twice. The fox didn't feel any pain, but having its tail pulled wasn't pleasant either. It climbed onto the snake's body twice and said, "Ah... my tail!"

  The snake was somewhat helpless, just as it stretched out its hand, the small blood lotus flower pulled back its vines and sat on the ground clapping and laughing.

  Wen Baiyu's forehead suddenly had some blue veins jumping, this Blood Marrow Flower's personality was really unpredictable, it seemed to be following no one, Guan Nan didn't seem to have such a thick skin, and Blood Marrow itself was full of pretence everywhere.

  And Xiao Xuemu had a face that was innocent and beautiful, yet harmless, doing things that were the opposite...

  The little blood marrow flower finished its prank and started crawling around, crawling to the side of the wind, seemingly a bit disgusted, twitching its small nose, and then crawled away again.

  He Feng smiled and said: "I seem to be unpopular with little kids."

  Xiao Xuemu continued to crawl forward and climbed onto Wen Baiyu's side, sat beside Wen Baiyu, lifted her head to stare at Wan Kuang Jing Hou, while eating with one hand.

  Wen Baiyu quickly pressed down on his hand, and Xiao Xue Hua finally gave up eating it, still looking at Wan Qi Jing Hou with a particularly curious expression.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou was not good at bringing up children, he didn't have any children to begin with. He had a nephew, but his nephew didn't live with him. Moreover, back then he was the Xiang King and a tyrant king, everyone feared him, let alone having contact with children.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou looked at Xiao Xue Miao Hua with a gloomy face.

  Xiao Xuemu Hua also looked at him, Wen Baiyu was afraid that Wang Qi Jing Hou's face would scare the little kid.

  But then the little Blood Orchid suddenly burst out laughing, her laughter so innocent and carefree, as if she found Wan Jie Zong Hou particularly interesting, as if flowers could bloom on his face!

  Wen Baiyu was taken aback for a moment. Did kids these days really like having a paralyzed face? Did they think it made them look more approachable?

  Wan Xi Jing Hou saw Xiao Xue Mu Hua laughing happily and couldn't help but relax as well. To be honest, they were all bored sitting there anyway, and they just had to wait for time to pass.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou also likes children, but didn't have the chance before. From how he took care of the miniaturized Wen Bai Yu previously, it's clear that Wan Xi Jing Hou is actually very meticulous and suitable for taking care of people.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly took out the dragon scale ladle / head from the pot and placed it on the ground.

  The little blood marrow flower thought it saw a toy, "haha" laughed and quickly crawled over.

  Wen Baiyu was startled and said: "What are you doing? Giving a child a toy gun?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said calmly: "It's okay, there are no toys here, and the scabbard is very tight, he can't pull it out."

  Xiao Xuemu flower crawled over, and when Wan Kuang Jinghou finished his last word, he forcefully let out a "hiss" sound. Then, Xiao Xuemu flower grasped the hilt of the dagger with both hands and pulled it backwards, while the vines behind her wrapped around the dagger and exerted force in the opposite direction. With one swift motion, she pulled out the dagger.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou: "......"

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu looked at Xiaoxuehua in terror as she stumbled to her feet, clutching a huge knife and staggering about, convinced that Xiaoxuehua would definitely cut herself.

  He had just stretched out his hand to retrieve the dagger when he saw the small blood vine's tendril stretch out, wrapping around the hilt of the dagger. Then, with a circular motion, it swung the dagger out in a wide arc, "whooshing" as it drew circles.

  The dragon scales flashed like iron being cut, and the first stroke of the brush began to draw circles in the tomb, one circle, two circles, three circles. Everyone had a look of shock on their faces, quickly lowering their heads, and they could all feel a gust of wind passing over their heads.

  Xiao Xue Mu Hua saw everyone avoiding her, sat on the ground, clapping her hands randomly, laughing "haha", seemingly very happy, finally found a fun toy.

  Wen Baiyu glared at Wan Jinhong and said, "Look at the good deed you've done!"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou was also quite helpless. Who knew that the little Blood Bone Flower was actually a naughty child, and one with very strong learning abilities and destructive powers.

  Wan Zijun stretched out his hand, and the dragon-scale dagger suddenly flew out of his hand, broke free from the vines, and quickly flew back into Wan Zijun's palm.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou stretched out his hand and sheathed the blade with a "whoosh" sound.

  Xiao Xuemeng stared at Wang Qi Jinghou's quick movements in surprise, blinked her eyes, and was full of admiration.

  Then quickly crawled forward, along the arm of Wan Jie Jing Hou climbed up, climbed to the shoulder of Wan Jie Jing Hou, blinking big eyes staring at him.

  Later, everyone discovered that Xiaoxue Hua would only return to her father's side when she was hungry, making cute and coquettish "ah" sounds, asking for flowers/honey to eat. The rest of the time, she stuck to Wang Qi Jing Hou.

  This made Wan Qi Jing Hou somewhat headache, he still wanted to take advantage of the wait, and do some things with Wen Bai Yu that they hadn't had time for.

  Wen Baiyu saw Xiao Xuemu flower supporting Wan Kuang Jinghou's neck and face slowly standing up, saying: "Has he grown taller? Why do I feel like he's bigger than before?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou didn't dare move his head, afraid he would fall over, and said: "Let's eat."

  Wen Bai Yu Xinzhuo said: "Isn't Xiao Xuemiao's growth too fast? Otherwise, how could she grow up so quickly? Her vitality is also too strong."

  Xiao Xue played with the little flower for two hours and then felt sleepy, crawling back to lean against Guan Shan's arms and falling asleep.

  Everyone else waited for two hours, during which time Wen Baiyu went up to take a look several times, but it was still pitch black.

  Wen Baiyu was getting a bit sleepy, they had been cooped up in the house for too long. They divided some food to eat, and after eating, they started to feel drowsy.

  Wen Baiyu leaned against Wan Kuang Jing Hou, her eyelids were heavy, she felt that even if she stayed up all night, she had never been so sleepy before. Her mind was a bit cloudy and she quickly fell into a dream.

  Everyone was like Wen Baiyu, eating something and starting to feel drowsy, leaning against each other and falling asleep. Soon everyone's breathing became calm.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou's eyelids were heavy, and he felt something was off. His teeth moved slightly, biting down on the root of his tongue, and suddenly blood came out. The pain made him immediately wake up.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou opened his eyes and saw a black shadow walking into the tomb, holding something in his hand, long and strip-like, seemingly a bone of the Shen Ya tribe. Suddenly, he threw that thing into the flames of the fire essence.

  That bone is not afraid of burning, and it seems to be a kind of fuel. Once it enters the flame, a huge flame bursts out, as if wrapping up the entire bronze cauldron.

  The raging fire turned into a pale blue flame, burning fiercely.

  The man in black stood before the large tripod for a few seconds, and at this moment, Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly jumped up, his dragon-scale dagger swiftly unsheathing.

  The man in black didn't expect Wan Jie Jing Hou to be awake, and he immediately retreated a few steps, quickly running towards the outside of the tomb chamber. Moreover, he seemed to intentionally or unintentionally cover his face, as if not wanting Wan Jie Jing Hou to see who he was.

  The man in black turned around and ran out, seemingly very familiar with the tomb's layout, and disappeared into the tomb in an instant. Wan Qi Jing Hou did not dare to chase after him, as he was the only one who was clear-headed here. If he were to give chase, what if it was a ploy to lure the tiger away from its mountain?

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou quickly turned back, swept a glance at the crowd on the ground, and then his gaze fell on Wen Bai Yu.

  Wen Baiyu must have taken some sleeping pills or something similar, but they weren't poisonous. Her breathing was smooth and long, as if she would sleep for a while.

  Everyone was also fast asleep, no one showed any signs of poisoning. Just at this moment, Wan Jie Jing Hou's eyes scanned around, but he didn't see Yi Feng anywhere.

  Zou Chengyi's position, Zou Chengyi was lying on his side on the ground, next to him was empty, before it was Yi Feng hugging him, now Yi Feng has disappeared.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou narrowed his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou did not dare to leave and continued to guard Wen Bai Yu. After about half an hour, Wen Bai Yu was the first to wake up. He shook his head, wanting to prop himself up to sit, but felt a heavy head, similar to a hangover. It had been many years since he last had a hangover, and this feeling was not pleasant at all.

  Wan Jie Jing Hou stretched out his hand to hold him, and Wen Bai Yu simply spread out her hands and fell into Wan Jie Jing Hou's arms, saying: "I feel a bit off somehow."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "You're just realizing this now?"

  Wen Baiyu immediately sat up and said, "What's wrong?"

  Wan Ji Jing Hou said: "There's something in our food, but I've checked it out, it's just ordinary sleeping pills, and the dosage isn't large."

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'Who did it?'"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said, "Just now when you were all unconscious, someone came in and threw a blue bone into the fire. I checked the bronze cauldron and didn't find anything unusual, but I don't know what he meant to do..."

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou said, and faintly added: "Also, Yi Feng has gone missing."

  Wen Baiyu suddenly looked at Zou Chengyi, and indeed only he was there, with Yi Feng nowhere to be seen.

  Wen Baiyu's heart was racing non-stop, and when they fainted, Yi Feng disappeared. The person who could put medicine in their food must be someone they were familiar with. The person who could touch their backpacks at that time was the one who gave Zou Chengyi the medicine, and he had touched the backpack.

  Wen Baiyu thought about it more and more, her heart racing with fear, "But... if it was Yi Feng who did it, there's no reason for him not to come back after I woke up."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou also felt that he was right.

  Others had not yet woken up, and the two of them checked the bronze tripod again. A strange phenomenon occurred: inside the bronze tripod was no longer a large piece of blackness, but instead appeared two grains of elixir.

  The blue pill is exactly the same as the one they found last time.

  Wen Baiyu was somewhat excited, quickly transforming into a swan-like shape. When Wan Jingshou saw him about to take the elixir from the tripod, and the bronze tripod was still being burned by the raging flames, he hastily withdrew his hands.

  The flames emitted by the fire essence suddenly went out.

  However, the bronze tripod was still boiling/scalding hot. Wanbai Yu'e took out the Dan medicine and immediately returned, transforming into a human shape, handing over the Dan medicine to General Wan Qi Jing Hou. Just as he was about to put on his clothes, General Wan Qi Jing Hou had already hugged him tightly.

  Wen Baiyu was taken aback and asked, "What's wrong?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Still asking me what's wrong with you, don't you want to live, the fire hasn't gone out yet and you're crawling in."

  Wen Baiyu thought for a moment and realized that she had been too impatient earlier, forgetting all about these things.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou tightly hugged him and gently rubbed the red spot on his shoulder with her hand.

  Wen Baiyu's "Ah——" was heard, and the place was scalded by the bronze tripod, slightly red and swollen. Wan Qi Jing Hou was a candle dragon, and since the candle dragon returned to its position, his body temperature, which had been dead for 3,000 years, came back, even higher than that of ordinary people. The scalded area was touched by him, and it hurt with a sudden twitch.

  "Don't touch, it hurts."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou reluctantly let go of Wen Bai Yu and helped him put on his clothes.

  Several others woke up soon after, but Zou Chengyi's physical condition was even worse than Guan Nian's, who had just lost his Jingyuan. He was the last to wake up and had a severe headache afterwards, feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit.

  Wen Baiyu handed two elixirs to Zou Chengyi and Xie Shou, and Xie Shou happily took the elixir.

  Zou Chengyi fumbled with the dan medicine, he can't eat it yet. This dan medicine is for suppressing the outbreak of the disease, treating the symptoms but not the root cause. He had just had an outbreak in the Ye Lang ancient tomb and it wasn't time for another one yet.

  Zou Chengyi held the dan medicine in his palm, tightly clenched, somewhat contemplative. According to the lifespan of the Shenya clan, searching for the six segments of Jianmu fragments was a massive task, and an impossible one at that.

  Zou Chengyi let out a sigh, perhaps he wasn't a special being of the Crow Clan either, and he couldn't complete this enormous task.

  Zou Cheng suddenly said: "Where's Yi Feng?"

  Wen Baiyu was silent for a moment, then recounted what had just happened, and briefly stated her own conjecture.

  Zou Chengyi suddenly fell silent, not saying a word. Wen Baiyu knew that although Yi Feng was Zou Chengyi's servant, looking like just a servant, to Zou Chengyi, he was his lifeblood, and Zou Chengyi couldn't walk, jump or even look without him; Yi Feng was his legs and eyes.

  Wen Baiyu didn't want to suspect Yi Feng either. If he suspected him, what would be the point? Yi Feng was absolutely loyal to Zou Chengyi. He had even died for Zou Chengyi before. What purpose could there be in betraying Zou Chengyi?

  Zou Chengyi suddenly said: "Let's go out and take a look."

  Wen Baiyu stood up and said, "I'll carry you."

  Zou Cheng nodded slightly and said calmly, "Thank you."

  Wen Baiyu knew he must be feeling terrible now, so she carried Zou Chengyi on her back and they all walked out.

  The outer path of the tomb had been walked once, previously there were mermaid mummies, now nothing was left, only a mess of broken things that looked like glass fragments and transparent gems.

  Everyone was crawling forward in pieces when Zou Chengyi suddenly said: "Wait, there's a sound..."

  After losing his eyes, Zou Chengyi's hearing seemed to be even more sensitive than that of Wan Qi Jinghou. He had previously joked about it, saying that he only had his ears and mouth left.

  As soon as he spoke, everyone immediately stopped and listened carefully. They did hear some noise coming from a very distant place.

  It came from a distant stairway, very faint, someone was panting desperately.

  Something that can be breathed in must not be a rice dumpling.

  Everyone has two thoughts in mind, one is Yi Feng and the other is Professor Fang.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "Leave."

  The crowd slowly moved forward, the sound of heavy breathing getting louder and louder. Just a dozen or so steps away from the turning stairs, they saw the person who was panting heavily.

  He was somewhat disheveled, his glasses removed and clutched in his hand, his face covered in blood. He leaned against the lowest step of the spiral staircase, his black coat open, revealing a white shirt stained with a large patch of dark red, as if he were bleeding.

  Everyone who saw such a gust of wind was somewhat surprised, which was completely different from what they had imagined.

  If Yifeng was that black figure, then why did he look so disheveled and covered in injuries?

  Zou Chengyi also heard that it was Yi Feng's voice, and at this time Yi Feng also saw them. His narrow and long eyes suddenly widened, and he loudly shouted: "Young Master, retreat!"

  Everyone heard the sound and instinctively retreated, just as the strong wind was blowing loudly. At the same time, a sudden movement came from the tomb next to them, and that little ghost had been lurking inside, rushing out of it in an instant.

  "Haha" sneered, at the same time his eyes opened wide and immediately shot out two blue rays of light.

  Everyone dodged the blue light, and at the same time, they heard a "bang" sound. Looking up, they saw a skinless corpse grab Yifeng's arm and pull him backward, dragging him up along the spiral staircase.

  The wind let out a low growl of "Hmph——" and was quickly pulled upwards, with bloodstains soon appearing on the stairs, a dense patch of blood.

  Wen Baiyu was slightly startled. Zou Chengyi couldn't see anything, so he lay on Wen Baiyu's back and said: "What's wrong? What about Yi Feng? I heard his voice."

  "Come on, let's hurry up and go save them."

  The crowd immediately surrounded the little ghost, taking big strides to rush upstairs. The blood corpse dragged Xiao Feng's arm, and Xiao Feng's other hand hung down. He was on the floor, seemingly having fainted, with a long trail of blood on the floor.

  The crowd rushed up and heard a "crack" sound, which was not the zongzi shouting, but the sound of something breaking, accompanied by a low growl of the wind.

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'Forward!'"

  They rushed over, and with a "bang!" kicked open the willow wooden door. They saw that Blood/Corpse was grasping onto Yi Feng's arm, while his other arm had gone limp and was hanging down to the ground, twisted at an unnatural angle, probably broken.

  "Cough!"

  The blood/corpse moved quickly, and with another loud noise, the other arm of the wind was twisted into an extremely distorted posture by the blood/corpse, and the sound also stopped.

  Wen Baiyu felt a chill run down her spine as she heard the two sounds, and her scalp went numb. Yi Feng lay on the ground, his hands dangling limply, gasping for air weakly, seemingly in a daze. His narrow eyes were half-closed, staring vaguely at Zou Chengyi.

  "What's wrong?"

  Zou Cheng tilted his head to listen, but the sound of the wind was too faint and almost imperceptible.

  The Blood Congee let out a loud "Kakaka" roar, and upon seeing the crowd, it immediately dropped the half-dead Xi Feng and charged towards them.

  At the same time, the little ghost from downstairs also climbed up the stairs. The room behind the willow wood door was not big, and with so many people squeezed in, it was hard to cope for a while, and hands and feet couldn't stretch out.

  The little ghost blocked the door, as if to catch a turtle in a jar. He opened his blue eyes and swept the crowd with a pale blue light.

  Wen Baiyu pounced forward, and Zou Cheng rolled off his back, bumping into the arm that was broken, instantly feeling a sharp pain and breaking out in cold sweat.

  At this time, Zou Chengyi heard someone calling "Young Master", he immediately got up from the ground, looked around in a daze, and then heard another soft voice saying "Young Master", and immediately crawled forward with one hand.

  Zou Chengyi couldn't see anything, and when he reached out to touch Yi Feng, his hand was suddenly covered in blood. Zou Chengyi's eyes went blind, but he seemed unaware of the look of shock and worry on his face as he said, "Yi Feng? What happened?"

  He said, reaching out to touch Yi Feng's arm, which was soft and limp, with joints that had been dislocated. As soon as he touched Yi Feng, the latter let out a faint "hiss" sound, but only made a slight groaning noise before falling silent again.

  He lay weakly on the ground, looking at Zou Chengyi and said, "Young Master, are you injured?"

  Zou Chengyi shook his head angrily and a surge of anger rose up, saying: "You're the one who's hurt, why are you running around! Where did you run to! How did it end up like this!"

  The scene in the house was chaotic, with blood/corpses being the most ferocious zongzi, but Xiao Gui was even more ferocious. The house was too small, and Xiao Gui's movements were agile, seemingly gaining the upper hand.

  Wan Jie Jing Hou was bound hand and foot, his heart burning with anger, a violent breath swept over him, making it hard for him to control himself. Suddenly, he heard a loud "Boom!" and Wan Jie Jing Hou suddenly disappeared, at the same time, a giant dragon appeared out of nowhere.

  This change was too sudden, and the giant dragon suddenly smashed the roof of the house, still constantly raising its head to make a huge roar.

  Everyone only felt that the top had collapsed and the bottom had also collapsed. At one time, stones were falling from above, and they continued to fall down along with the collapse.

  Wen Baiyu immediately adjusted her posture, letting her legs point downwards, and then wrapped her arms around her head to protect it.

  "Boom!!" A loud noise, in the moment of falling, Zou Chengyi suddenly rushed over, pressed on Yi Feng's body, a huge boulder fell down, just hitting them, Yi Feng was slightly startled, his narrow eyes suddenly widened. Just for an instant, the entire underground chamber collapsed instantly, and everyone fell in at once.

  Wen Baiyu felt a buzzing in his head, everything around him was blurry, he was somewhat dizzy and seemed to be dreaming, hearing someone talking beside him.

  "A slightly hoarse voice said: 'The carefully planned tomb was destroyed, the King of Ghosts was injured, and Master's works were all abandoned. Is it worth it?'"

  Another voice spoke in a low and slow tone, "This place was originally designed for him. No matter how many works are done, even if the hands and feet are agile, there will always be less charm."

  That old voice said: "Why doesn't the master directly use that body modification called Zou Chengyi, it will be faster this way."

  Another voice paused for a long time, and the tone didn't sound pleasant, revealing a hint of ferocity, saying: "No one is allowed to hurt him, otherwise... you know my temper."

  That old voice suddenly trembled and said: "Is... is..."

  Another voice said: "You will naturally have your own benefits if you work hard. I've already found the next wooden fragment."

  That old voice became excited and said: "Really? Where?"

  Another voice laughed softly and said: "Not where, but who, now you don't need to know yet."

  Dizzy and confused, I heard many unbelievable things in my ears, my head was spinning and about to explode, and suddenly woke up from the darkness.

  All around was a scene of devastation, but he was no longer in the basement. He sat up and looked around to find himself surrounded by willow trees, with the collapsed basement not far away.

  Wen Baiyu had a fire lit beside him, and Wan Jinhou sat there, fiddling with the roaring flames.

  Seeing Wen Baiyu wake up, Wan Xizong instinctively wanted to move, but he stopped his actions and sat still in his original position.

  Wen Baiyu sat up, his whole body aching, but the small wounds on his body had been treated and were about to heal. His hand was slightly bruised, he raised his head and saw Wan Qi Jing Hou.

  Wan Kuang's expression was extremely cold, staring at the bonfire, lost in thought. He also had many wounds on his body, but they hadn't been treated yet, some of which were almost healed, with sand still stuck inside.

  Wen Baiyu climbed up, her breath uneven, and said: "Why don't you treat your own wound?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head, his expression also faintly saying: "I don't know what's wrong with me either, I just can't control it, sorry."

  Wen Baiyu heard him say this and knew that Wan Jie Jing Hou must have a knot in his heart, blaming himself for the "live burial" of the crowd just now.

  Wen Baiyu sat down, pulled over the backpack next to her, and cleaned up the wound on Wan Kuangjing's arm with a cotton swab. Inside, it was all muddy. If it really healed into the flesh, I don't know if it would get infected or not.

  Wen Baiyu's movements were very light, and she said, "No one blames you either, we're out now."

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou stretched out his hand and patted Wen Bai Yu's shoulder, saying: "I was so mean to you before, but you're still so good to me."

  Wen Baiyu sneered and said: "So you mean I should find a better one?"

  He hastily said: "No, I am the best."

  Wen Baiyu couldn't help it and burst out laughing, saying: "How can your face be so thick?"

  At this time, everyone else woke up too. The beast happened to hear Wan Jie Jing Hou say that he was the best and couldn't help but rub his tail and sit up, saying: "The tyrant's face has already been practiced."

  He said, rubbing his tail, and suddenly realized that his legs had some strength, and he couldn't help but excitedly shout: "Master, master, my legs have strength! It seems to be able to move a little!"

  The beast stirred and moved its legs, but it was only a slight movement, still unable to move freely. The beast was excited for a moment, then disappointed again.

  Wen Baiyu said: "It must be that Dan medicine has taken effect, Zou Chengyi have you eaten it?"

  Zou Chengyi was suddenly reminded by him, he had not taken the elixir before, but just now it collapsed, the elixir was no longer in his hand, he frantically searched around, but there was no elixir.

  Zou Cheng thought to himself, anyway, he might not even live until the next outbreak.

  Zou Chengyi got up and said: "What about the wind?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Nothing serious, one hand is dislocated and has been put back in place, the other hand is fractured and has been fixed."

  He said that, Zou Chengyi relaxed a bit, and at this time, the servant also woke up, seemingly in pain with every move, but still trying to endure, saying: "Young master, I'm here."

  Zou Chengyi got angry when he heard him speak and punched his nose bridge with a fist that didn't break any bones.

  Yi Feng suddenly had a nosebleed that flowed endlessly, and since he was lying down, he choked himself. Wen Bai Yu was startled, and Yi Feng propped himself up to sit.

  "Where did you go?" said Zou Chengyi.

  He let out a bitter laugh and said, "Young Master, why don't you believe me?"

  He said, suddenly opening his hand and placing a blue pill in Zou Chengyi's palm.

  Zou Cheng took a sniff and immediately knew what it was, feeling both surprised and delighted.

  "Before I could even react, a gust of wind blew in and Zhōu Chéng said: 'After I ate something, I felt dizzy and saw something entering the tomb. Then I was pulled out by an unseen force - it was that little ghost. I don't know where he wanted to pull me to, but I barely managed to escape and then I saw you gentlemen.'"

  Actually, everyone has been thinking that Yi Feng didn't have any motive to poison them at all. Moreover, Yi Feng suffered such severe injuries and almost lost his life. If this was a trick, then Yi Feng is a thorough and utter pervert.

  Hei Feng finished speaking and soon fainted, his chest had a wound, lost too much blood, the kind of wound really looked like it was made by the eyes of a small ghost, with pale blue ice crystals.

  Zou Chengyi heard him suddenly faint, somewhat nervous, said: "Let's go quickly, we have to send Yi Feng to the hospital."

  This place is a suburb of Beijing, and it's easy to find a hospital. They sent Yi Feng and Zou Chengyi to the hospital, and it turned out that both of them had fractures.

  The next day, Wen Baiyu and Wan Jinhou arrived at the mountain package again. The underground room had completely collapsed. At that time, Wan Jinhou turned into a candle dragon and came out with a road. Inside was dark and messy with broken stones, nothing else.

  That big tripod also disappeared for no reason.

  Wen Baiyu narrowed her eyes, staring at the collapsed area, and suddenly remembered the strange dream she had made. In the dream, two people were talking, but he could only vaguely remember what they said, and soon forgot after waking up.

  Wen Baiyu said, "The person who led us down here is really too unbelievable. Now I don't understand whether he's a friend or an enemy. If he wants to make things difficult for us, there's no need to let us use the bronze tripod to refine the elixir."

  Wan Kuang didn't say a word, this underground chamber was somewhat eerie, he really didn't know its purpose either.

  "But there's one thing that can be confirmed, that person is also like us, searching for the Jianmu fragments. All our intersections have been centered around the Jianmu fragments."

  Wen Baiyu nodded and said, "Actually, I have an idea."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou looked at him and said: "What?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "We're being led by the nose, no doubt wanting to quickly find the Jianmu fragments. This person understands our movements and will naturally take a step ahead of us..."

  Wen Baiyu smiled and said: "Why don't we take a break and travel around, let him mess up his own formation."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou looked at him with a mischievous grin and said, "Where are you thinking of going on vacation?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "Of course, it's the bronze tripod unearthed in Pengcheng Xuzhou. He can salvage this large tripod from the water, such a massive manpower, will definitely leave some clues behind, why don't we go take a look?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded and said: "I'll listen to you."

  After the two people went back, they went to the hospital to see Zou Chengyi and Xi Feng. Zou Chengyi recovered quite well, just a fracture with some external injuries on his body. Xi Feng was more miserable, needing nursing care, his body somewhat weak.

  Wen Baiyu didn't tell them where they were going, just that they were going out for a trip.

  Zou Cheng's face showed a hint of disdain as he said, "You two are going on a trip?"

  He finished speaking and said: "Actually it's pretty good, I've been busy with Jianmu's affairs all along, I never thought of relaxing, living for so long, not a single day is not for the sake of my people."

  The wind heard his voice and said: "Master wants to go where, I can also accompany Master."

  Zou Cheng's face was a bit unnatural, and he said irritably: "You'd better just rest and recover from your injury."

  Wen Baiyu and Wan Kui Jinghou packed their bags and prepared to set off lightly, planning to prepare the equipment for crossing the river after they arrived at the destination.

  Wen Baiyu finished her bath and saw Wan Jiahao packing his luggage. The suitcase was wide open, and he was stuffing things into it. They were going to bring some clothes and daily necessities, but the suitcase seemed a bit too small.

  "What are you stuffing? Go take a bath, I'll help you continue cleaning up."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou stood up and said: "It's just missing this one, put it in and that's it."

  He handed over the thing to Wen Baiyu, an iron box, and then went to take a bath. The bathroom soon echoed with the sound of rushing water.

  Wen Baiyu also tried his best to squeeze in, but the suitcase was too full. He rearranged it again, but still couldn't fit. Wan Jinhao had finished washing up and was dressed neatly from head to toe, except for his upper body which was bare, as if showing off his physique.

  Wen Baiyu stuffed the iron box in with force, and as a result, it burst open with a "clatter" sound. The box fell apart, the lid dropped to the ground, and the things inside spilled all over the floor.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly looked at the thing on the ground and was shocked to look at Wan Kuang Jinghou.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou rubbed his hair and walked past Wen Bai Yu's side, saying: "Anyway, it's a trip, bring some just in case."

  Wen Baiyu's eyes widened even more, staring at him as he said "bring some"...

  Those things from that place, spilled out of the iron box, were actually dozens of sets/suites, all kinds of flavors, a big mess...
