Although Ji Shaoyu's eyes were visible, Zhao Ling'er was still used to holding Ji Shaoyu's arm. Anu followed Zhao Ling'er, looking at the lifeless woods, and said with a little fear, "What the hell is this place? Why is it so lifeless everywhere? Otherwise, we should not move forward?"
Although it was daytime, it was like evening in the woods. Dark clouds covered the sky, there was no light at all, no insects or birds could be heard, and a few crows could be seen flying by from time to time. Ji Shaoyu found that there was a faint mist and a strong death aura around him. He didn't expect to come directly to this place.
"Anu, you don't have to be afraid. Brother Shaoyu is here and he will protect us." Zhao Ling'er glanced at Ji Shaoyu, his clear and smart eyes full of dependence. Zhao Ling'er had an almost blind trust in Ji Shaoyu, almost forgetting that she was an immortal cultivator in the late stage of refining the gods and returning to the void. She turned around and said to Anu.
Zhao Ling'er liked the feeling of being protected by Ji Shaoyu, which made her very tempted and intoxicated. But Anu didn't understand. When he heard Zhao Ling'er say that he was scared, he immediately straightened up, patted his chest, and said, "Anu is not afraid! Anu said that Anu will protect the princess."
After saying that, he took a few steps forward, but a cold wind blew, and Anu couldn't help but shrink back and retreated to Zhao Ling'er's side. Anutian was not afraid of anything, he was only afraid of ghosts and things like that.
At this moment, Ji Shaoyu, Zhao Ling'er, and Anu all heard a whimpering sound coming from the front, as if a woman was crying. There were some white flags and empty coffins around, but the bodies inside were gone.
Anu only felt a creepy and shuddering feeling. He pulled Zhao Ling'er's arm, how could he dare to speak
"Brother Shaoyu, there is someone in front!" Zhao Ling'er took a look, but couldn't see clearly because of the fog, and said to Ji Shaoyu.
"Let's go and take a look." In Ji Shaoyu's perception, although the woman still had a little breath of life, it would be extinguished at any time. What was more, it was a strong death breath, and she did not look like a living person at all.
"Brother Shaoyu, she seems to have encountered some difficulty. Let's go over and help her." Zhao Ling'er, a kind and simple person, just saw that the person seemed to be in trouble, and he wanted to help her. Zhao Ling'er let go of Ji Shaoyu's hand, and as she spoke, she wanted to go over and ask the woman.
"Don't go there!" Ji Shaoyu quickly grabbed Zhao Ling'er, met Zhao Ling'er's puzzled gaze, and said, "That person is already dead."
"But..." Zhao Ling'er still wanted to say, she was obviously still alive and making sounds, so how could she be dead
But before Zhao Ling'er finished speaking, the woman, no, it should be said to be a zombie, turned around, revealing half of her rotten face, two ferocious fangs, disheveled hair, and deep-set black eye circles. She looked very... It was so terrifying that both Zhao Ling'er and Anu were frightened. Anu even screamed and hid behind Ji Shaoyu.
How could Ji Shaoyu let that zombie get close to Zhao Ling'er? He took out a detonating talisman from the storage scroll, put it on the zombie's head, and kicked it away. He raised his left hand, put his index and middle fingers together, and gave a light drink. ,"burst!"
"boom!"
There was a burst of fire, the zombie was blown to pieces, and the surrounding fog was dispersed a lot. Zhao Ling'er has not yet discovered that there is a trace of life left in the woman's body. This is because Ji Shaoyu deliberately prevents Zhao Ling'er from consuming too much of her spiritual power for a dead person. So as soon as he took action, he immediately eliminated the zombie.
You know, the little life in Zhao Ling'er's body has consumed too much of her spiritual energy. Zhao Ling'er didn't like the appearance of Nuwa's real body and refused to show that look in front of Ji Shaoyu again. With the cultivation in the late stage of refining the gods and returning to the void, Zhao Ling'er's body has been very weak these days, and Ji Shaoyu is not willing to let her take any risks.
"Wow! That's amazing. What is that, Mr. Shaoyu, do you still have it? Can you give Anu a few?" Before Zhao Ling'er said anything, Anu's eyes were already shining, and he clasped his hands and bowed, Asked Ji Shaoyu.
The detonating talisman has the power equivalent to a B-level fire escape ninjutsu. Ji Shaoyu did not learn those low-level single-target attack ninjutsu, and did not want to make it too bloody. After all, Zhao Ling'er was beside him. For a moment, without having time to think too much, he took out an explosive talisman from the storage scroll and used it to deal with a zombie that was only equivalent to refined gas.
"This is the detonating talisman. Although it is still there, you can't use it even if it is given to you." Ji Shaoyu turned around and said to Anu with a smile.
"Why?" Anu immediately asked curiously when Ji Shaoyu said she couldn't use it. Anu had never seen Ji Shaoyu's detonating talisman before. A small talisman could be so powerful.
The detonating charms Ji Shaoyu redeemed at the Devil's Contract were all ordinary and could only be detonated using chakra. Detonating symbols that can be detonated with spiritual power will give you a little more points each. Ji Shaoyu didn't want to waste points at all, so he said to Anu, "Because our cultivation methods are different, you can't use my things."
"That's it!" After hearing Ji Shaoyu's answer, Anu just responded with some pity and did not continue to pester Ji Shaoyu.
"Brother Shaoyu, what happened to that person just now?" Zhao Ling'er asked Ji Shaoyu next to him.
"That's a person who was infected with corpse poison and has turned into a zombie." Ji Shaoyu glanced at the place where the zombie was blown to pieces and said to Zhao Ling'er.
"Zombie?" Anu is usually playful and greedy, and he doesn't pay attention when practicing. He doesn't understand "zombie".
"It is a monster that feeds on blood. As long as it is bitten by a zombie, if the poison is not detoxified in time, it will turn into a zombie." Zhao Ling'er had seen it in some books on Fairy Island and answered for Anu. .
When he thought about being bitten by a zombie and turning into that ugly appearance, Anu couldn't help but feel horrified and got goosebumps all over his body. "It's so scary! Don't let Anu turn into a zombie, princess, why don't we leave?"
"No, there must be more than one zombie around here. If the root cause is not solved, there will definitely be more victims." Ji Shaoyu shook his head and said.
"Well! Brother Shaoyu is right, we can't just die without saving him. Brother Shaoyu, Anu, let's go." Zhao Ling'er nodded and agreed with Ji Shaoyu's opinion.
Ji Shaoyu looked at the woods shrouded in fog. Not far away, it should be Baihe Village. (To be continued.)
