Volume 1 Chapter 20: White Haired Corpse

  The cave was like a deep well, at least 180 meters deep. Inside it was pitch black and there were also many dark smoke. Fortunately, these dark smoke had limited lethality, Jiang Feng could withstand them.

  When he finally landed, Jiang Feng was able to see things clearly. He first looked up and saw the entrance of the cave. Then he looked around and found that this place was like the bottom of a long-necked bottle, with quite some space. Jiang Feng also saw a passage leading to other places.

  "This is a stone brick. This passage is not natural, it's man-made. Is this some kind of underground city?" Jiang Feng said, looking at the damaged stone brick wall over there.

  The walls of the passage are indeed made of bricks. Some on top have fallen off, and the bricks themselves are also very old. The passage is still quite spacious, and people can walk inside without any problem.

  Jiang Feng did not see the figures of the three monks, and there were no other roads here. He thought that the three monks should have walked along this passage.

  He walked forward along the passage, which was not straight but spiralled downwards. Jiang Feng didn't walk too far before feeling that the black smoke here had become much thicker. Jiang Feng also began to enhance his own defense and thought of ways to burn away the nearby black smoke.

  Not long after, Jiang Feng walked to the end of the passage. At the end was a huge underground cave. Due to the lack of light, Jiang Feng could not see the whole picture. From the stone wall beside him, this place was also man-made. He also saw that in front of him, there was actually an already cracked tombstone.

  That mound is very large, like an overturned bowl. And it's made of stone, obviously not a ordinary person's tomb.

  What was inside the tomb, Jiang Feng didn't see clearly. His line of sight had shifted to other places. In the direction he looked, which was in front of the large tomb, where the fallen tombstone was, three monks were confronting three black smoke columns extending from the tomb.

  "No wonder I haven't seen them go out, it turns out they can't walk." Jiang Feng said to himself in his heart. He also took a step forward and walked on.

  Just a few steps away, another puff of black smoke emerged from the tomb and pounced on Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng shook his hand, and more than ten talismans were thrown out. The raging flames immediately surrounded it. As soon as the black smoke approached, it was burned clean.

  He took out two more talismans that could spit fire, and while urging them on, Jiang Feng walked forward. Very quickly, he thoroughly dispersed the black smoke. When Jiang Feng approached the three cultivators, he threw out several more talismans. These talismans fell into the tomb just as another wave of black smoke was about to emerge from it, and they turned into raging flames that burned within the tomb.

  Under the flames, the black smoke quickly dissipated. The three monks soon escaped from the black smoke after it weakened. Everyone also used fire to disperse the black smoke. At this time, Jiang Feng also saw clearly that in the tomb, there was a stone coffin standing upright. The black smoke just now came out of the gap between the coffin lid and the coffin.

  Three monks retreated quickly after getting rid of the black smoke. The stone coffin also shook at this time. More black smoke rushed out from the stone coffin, as if to extinguish the flames.

  "What's inside the stone coffin is about to come out, everyone work together and destroy it as soon as possible. Can't let it escape to the ground." The monk spoke after retreating back.

  Before Jiang Feng could react, the three cultivators separately released their magic weapons and struck the stone coffin. Jiang Feng didn't lift a hand, he just silently cursed in his heart: "Are your three brains squeezed by a door or something?" If they shattered the coffin, wouldn't that directly let it out?

  When he wanted them to stop, Jiang Feng felt a movement behind him. As soon as he turned around, a lightning bolt shot out from his hand. The Thunder Symbol's lightning struck forward, shattering a dark skeleton that had just crawled out of the ground and was about to pounce on Jiang Feng.

  At this time, a loud rumbling sound was also heard from behind. When he turned his head to look back, he saw that the stone coffin had been smashed. The shattered coffin lid was flying over. The flames inside the tomb had almost gone out. Jiang Feng saw that in the shattered coffin, there was a corpse with white hair, which was moving.

  That was a zombie. Although the white hair on its body wasn't much, it also meant that this zombie had some age to it. Otherwise, it wouldn't have grown any white hair. If they waited until its entire body was covered in white hair, then it would be considered somewhat accomplished. At that time, these four Qi Refining stage cultivators, including Jiang Feng, wouldn't even stand a chance against it. Even now, whether or not they could move to attack was an unknown quantity.

  The zombies were slowly moving their bodies, with blood-red eyes staring at Jiang Feng and the others. At this time, in the underground cave, there came some sounds of objects falling to the ground.

  Following the sound, I found that some black bones fell from the top of the cave. After falling to the ground, these bones were assembled together to form a few skulls surrounded by black air.

  Jiang Feng waved his hands, throwing out several glowing orbs towards the upper part of the cave. They were just ordinary illuminating crystals, allowing Jiang Feng to see more clearly inside the cave.

  Skulls shrouded in dark energy, apparently the corpses of those who died in Autumn Water City. Why they appeared here is probably also the doing of that zombie.

  Don't look at the skull, it's quite scary, but it doesn't have much attack power. Even Jiang Feng and four other Qi-refining cultivators like him can easily eliminate them. They are not worried about those skulls either. What worries them is still that zombie.

  "Everyone work together, quickly eliminate that white-haired zombie, absolutely cannot let it leave here." The young man with a silly face said.

  As he spoke, the sturdy young man launched his own artifact and charged towards the white-haired zombie. His artifact was a short gun that burned with flames, which had previously been used to blast stone coffins.

  The monk and that woman also started attacking. The monk's weapon was a bowl, the kind used by monks when they went out to beg for alms. The female nun used a flying sword.

  The fastest was the woman's flying sword. Although it was the last to act, it was the first to rush to the front of the zombie. The flying sword, which flashed with a faint blue light, directly pierced the zombie's chest. The other two magical instruments also arrived at this time.

  Bang, bang! Two magical artifacts struck the zombie's body. The zombie's body leaned back slightly but didn't fall over. The flying sword had already pierced into the zombie's chest, but it couldn't move forward another half inch. Instead, as the zombie leaned back, it grabbed onto the flying sword on its chest with one hand.

  The only one who didn't make a move was Jiang Feng. He looked around first, then shrunk his neck and turned to leave, seemingly wanting to get out of there.

  The female cultivator saw that the zombie had grabbed her flying sword and didn't bother to let the flying sword stab into the zombie's body again. She quickly manipulated the flying sword to fly back and forth. The zombie, of course, would not give up easily and held onto the flying sword tightly.

  The flaming short gun flew in again, hitting the zombie's arm that was holding onto the flying sword. The zombie's arm was attacked, and the female cultivator immediately seized the opportunity to forcibly retrieve her flying sword.

  Although the flying sword was recalled, it had been stained with corpse energy and had cracks pinched by zombies. The female cultivator also suffered some mental damage as a result.

  "Where are you going? Hurry up and come help. If we can't get rid of this zombie, no one will be able to leave here alive." The female monk's voice reached Jiang Feng's ears as he was trying to sneak away quietly.

  The other two monks also turned their heads to look at Jiang Feng, and Jiang Feng stood there, turning his head to look back at them. In this situation, like a thief who had to leave, Jiang Feng could only force himself to return.

  "If you hadn't smashed the stone coffin, how would this zombie have come out. You still have the nerve to say me." Jiang Feng muttered without hiding.

  "Less nonsense, help me quickly." The woman said.

  The zombies rushed towards them, and the skulls also rushed over. The four of them couldn't care about anything else and started fighting the zombies together. The four people's attacks hit the zombie's body one after another, causing considerable damage but not being fatal.

  After the zombies rushed over, they directly dispersed Jiang Feng and others, and slapped the female Taoist and the monk away. At this time, a large amount of black smoke was emerging from under the stone coffin where the zombie had been waiting. Jiang Feng took a look and couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, and in his heart, he secretly said that something was wrong.
