Chapter 27: The Graveyard of Demonic Corpses

  The nine-headed zombie mirror connects the two changes, first an arrow leads itself to the depths of the canyon, and then a blurry knight image appears.

  Could it be that the meaning of the corpse mirror is to let oneself come to this valley to find the knight in the painting, and Chu Jiu was somewhat uncertain.

  Carefully moving around to detect, no abnormalities were found, and the only slightly strange thing was a tower-shaped stone block not far away.

  The stone monument is overall dark gray in color and initially has a pagoda shape. The head of the corpse guard sits quietly at the bottom of the tower.

  After a long and careful observation, Zhu Jiu finally discovered that the thick death energy surrounding him was faintly emanating from the ground beneath the tower. Although extremely weak, over time it had still created a valley with a far more intense concentration of death energy than anywhere else.

  Jiu wanted to move forward to take a look, but unfortunately, the high-quality zombie sat under the small tower, motionless, and it seemed that even if it sat there for several years, it wouldn't budge.

  We need to think of a way to get rid of this old zombie, a direct attack is definitely not an option, it seems that we can only use strategy.

  Wishing you many successful experiments. First, he went out of the valley to hunt and kill several low-grade undead guards' heads back as bait, wanting to lure away the old zombie.

  Unfortunately, the skull fire that was thrown away was absorbed by the old zombie, and this old guy sat back in his original position. Zhu Jiu threw the bait a little further away, and this guy's butt seemed to be stuck to the stone tower, not moving at all.

  It seems that relying on the soul fire to slowly lure this old guy out won't work, Zhu Jiu crouched behind a huge boulder, thinking to himself, he only had four or five days left before returning to the Corpse God Sect, and competing with the undead at the bottom of the tower in endurance was definitely not feasible.

  This zombie is so hardworking in absorbing the scattered dead energy from the ground, just to advance as soon as possible. This is the only instinctual obsession of the orange soul demon corpse.

  Jiuzai was reborn with a plan, quietly retreating over 100 meters before taking out a piece of soul-calming green copper that contained his own soul's aura.

  In an instant, the orange soul zombie that had been sitting at the bottom of the black tower absorbing the scattered death energy from the ground quickly stood up. Its eyes protruded several meters long orange light, and it stepped forward without hesitation towards Zhu Jiu's direction.

  Wishing the ninth return of the body to run quickly, the cultivator who has merged with the realm already has the power to transcend the mundane. The speed of the ninth is extremely fast, each step seems to be measured with the most precise ruler, the distance is completely uniform, the footsteps are light and silent, the toes lightly touch the ground, like a wisp of green smoke floating close to the ground, instantly already over 100 meters away.

  The old zombie was closely pursued from behind, and at this time, the strength of the high-quality orange soul zombie was revealed. The moving speed was completely different from the zombies in Zhu Jiu's cognition, and the action was swift and ghostly, with one step spanning several feet. Every time it stepped on the ground, it made a dull thud, which showed the weight of its footsteps and the magnitude of its power.

  Just a short distance from the canyon entrance, the zombies were only forty meters behind.

  Jiǔ Xīn zhōng dà mà, yǐ fǎ lì zhē gài le zhèn hún lǜ tóng de qì xī, kào zhe zhào shī jìng hù yòu de yǐn shēn néng lì, kuài sù bēn chū bǎi yú mǐ yuǎn cái chóng xīn tāo chū lǜ tóng lái.

  Originally lost green copper breath standing at the valley mouth hesitated, had prepared to return to the depths of the mountain valley old zombie, again rapidly chased.

  Jiu tried it out and found that once the zombies lost their green copper breath, they immediately turned around and walked back. Unfortunately, he had to keep using the green copper to lure them forward all the time.

  The two of them, one in front and one behind, gradually moved further away from the canyon. Zhu Jiu led the way forward, heading towards a place where he had sensed a strong aura on their way to the canyon, where there was also a high-quality undead guard.

  After more than a dozen minutes, the old zombie that had been following Zhu Jiu's body suddenly stopped in its tracks. It wasn't just because it had lost that incredibly attractive aura, but also because the old zombie had sensed another of its kind stirring, with an angry and challenging howl coming from outside the forest.

  The old zombie's soul fire suddenly burst into great brightness, raising its head to meet the opponent's provocation, and no ghost would retreat in fear.

  Jiu Zhuang put away the green copper in his hand more than 100 meters away. Hei! These two guys are on fire now.

  The orange soul demon corpse, although having a slightly vague consciousness compared to the red soul demon corpse's instinctual behavior, still lacks complete wisdom. This guy was lured over and invaded another demon corpse's territory, and a fierce battle broke out between them at once.

  Jiu didn't have the heart to linger here and waste time, he wanted to hurry back to that valley with a thick deathly aura, to see what secrets lay beneath the Black Tower!

  With the help of stealth, I wish you a speedy return, all the way back to the depths of the canyon.

  Having observed that there was nothing unusual around, Xi Yang took charge of keeping watch while Zhu Jiu quickly approached the small tower and began to observe carefully.

  Although the orange soul was fiercely fighting its opponent, Zhu Jiu still thought it was better to seize the time. After a simple observation of the black tower, he reached out and lightly touched the black tower, finding that his hand felt slightly cool, but there was nothing unusual about it. It seemed that the strange place was not the black tower itself, but rather underground without a doubt.

  He tried to push the black tower with all his might, but the ground didn't react at all. Trying other methods also had no effect.

  Recalling the sunset's power that far surpassed its own level, Zhu Jiu called this guy over to work together to push the Black Tower. This time, there was finally some movement. The Black Tower slowly shook, its body sinking down, and a dark entrance about one zhang wide opened up at the bottom.

  Jiǔ Liú Xià Xī Yáng zài wài miàn fáng bèi, zhàng zhe zì jǐ zài yāo shī jiè de yǐn shēn néng lì, gū shēn zuān rù yǎn hēi de dòng xué zhōng, yí lù xié xíng xiàng xià, qí nèi sǐ qì yuè jiàn nóng yù, dòng xué zhōng shǐ zhōng jì jìng wú shēng, jì méi yǒu yāo shī cún zài, yě méi yǒu shén me bù tóng de wēi xiǎn chū xiàn.

  Sensing that the surrounding space was gradually widening, Zhuo Jiu became even more vigilant, cautiously approaching and discovering a massive platform built with giant stones in front of him.

  Be careful when approaching the platform, on which there is a tall white skeleton, with an unusually thick and rough frame, giving people a sense of discord. It's about three meters in size, roughly human-shaped.

  On the back of the skeleton, there is a bow made of the same material as the body. The fingers are unusual, with a protruding bone bead on each finger, matching the bow on the body. It seems that before the soul fire went out, this skeleton was a yao corpse archer.

  Behind the stone pedestal, there was also a beast skeleton lying prone. This beast skeleton was sturdy and square, with many bone plates on its body, looking like it had grown a layer of bony armor on its own. The remains were about two zhang long, and on its back, there was a bony saddle, which seemed to be a riding beast without a doubt.

  Both the mount and the human skeleton are constantly emitting a death aura, Zhu Jiu closed his eyes to sense it. At this time, the remains still contain about mid-to-high grade pure death aura of the Corpse Guard. When the death aura contained in the skeleton is completely dissipated, these human-shaped and beast-shaped skeletons will quickly weather away and cease to exist.

  These two skeletons should be the images displayed on the corpse mirror, what secrets are there?

  This is clearly a tomb of the Wraiths, according to the Wraith's scriptures, only when the Wraith has evolved to the third level, that is, above the level of Huanghun Wraith Commander, can the strong among the dead possibly establish their own tombs before their soul fire goes out.

  Judging from the specifications and simplicity of this tomb, it is undoubtedly a yellow soul demon corpse that had just acquired the ability to build a grave before the soul fire on the stone platform went out.

  There was no secret in the graveyard, nothing but two skeletons and a few withered flowers. Could the secret be on the skeleton? But it was too big to carry.

  Jiu is approaching the skeleton, wanting to take some key parts of the skeleton. It's better to go out first and study them slowly later, lest being blocked by the returned old zombies here, which would be extremely dangerous.

  Just as he was about to grab the skull, he suddenly noticed that a light appeared on the mirror in front of his chest. The light initially turned red and gradually changed to a warm orange color, getting brighter and brighter.

  The light gradually converged into a beam, passing through the mirror surface and shining onto the skeleton on the stone pedestal!
