Feeling Yang Qi's gaze, Yan Feng smiled calmly and said, "A small trick, using the way of water and soil, in places with water and soil, a special energy body can be formed for investigation."
“Those who dare to enter the depths of the ancient forbidden land are indeed not simple people.” Yang Qi thought to himself.
Having fought with Wu Li before, Yang Qi had some understanding of Wu Li's strength, but he was not very clear about the strength of Yan Feng and Liu Yi. Now that he had seen Yan Feng's investigation methods, Yang Qi also knew that both Yan Feng and Liu Yi must have their own support. I'm afraid that the strength of the two is not inferior to Wu Li, otherwise they would not dare to come to the ancient forbidden land to seek opportunities.
Just a moment later, Yan Feng said, "There is a ban, but it is not very strong. There is indeed a relic underneath, but the relic is broken. I am afraid that only one fourth or fifth of its complete period is left."
Hearing Yan Feng's words, Yang Qi and the other two could not help but nodded. The ancient forbidden land was itself a battlefield, and there were very few intact ruins. Moreover, those ruins were still underground. They were probably driven underground during the war, and the possibility of them being intact was even lower.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
With Yan Feng's investigation, Yang Qi and his four companions immediately rushed towards the dim entrance. As Yan Feng said, there was indeed a restriction at the entrance. It would be difficult for a high-level martial emperor to force his way through the restriction, but for Yang Qi and his companions, it was not a difficult task. They directly passed through the restriction and came into the ruins.
After passing through the restriction, what appeared in front of Yang Qi and others was a long corridor. There were huge cracks on both sides of the corridor, and some places even disappeared directly, with part of the space occupied by protruding stones.
Even the corridor at the entrance has been so broken, one can imagine the situation inside the ruins.
Yang Qi and his three companions walked along the corridor, but gained nothing. Apart from the broken corridor, there was nothing else. Soon, they passed through the corridor and came to a hall that had collapsed by nearly half.
"That is..."
Just as the group entered the hall, a figure at the collapsed site attracted the attention of Yang Qi and the other three.
Yang Qi's eyes fell on the corpse, and after a slight sense, he said, "The corpse of the Martial Emperor Realm should be a cultivator who arrived here before us."
The Ancient Forbidden Land is the site of the final battle between the two ancient saints, and the depths of the Ancient Forbidden Land is the core area of the final battle. It is definitely not something that a Martial Emperor can set foot in. The corpse naturally cannot be that of a cultivator who participated in the battle that year.
"How did he die?" Wu Li frowned slightly.
There is not much danger in the ruins before us. Since the fallen cultivator was able to walk here, he should not have died accidentally. However, he died in a hall without any danger, which is a bit strange.
Liu Yi looked at the corpse on the ground and said slowly, "The body doesn't have obvious damage. It shouldn't be that the vitality is exhausted, nor does it look like it's poisoned."
Generally speaking, it is difficult for a cultivator whose vitality is exhausted to keep his body intact, and he will have some injuries. As for death from poisoning, the body will often have obvious abnormalities, but the corpse in front of him does not have these two characteristics, so it is obvious that he did not die from this.
"Is it because of the soul?" Yan Feng frowned.
Hearing this, Yang Qi nodded slightly and said, "That's possible."
Compared to death due to exhaustion of vitality, the injury to the soul does not necessarily mean death at that time. Once the soul collapses, it can hold on for a while longer.
Wu Li, who was standing by, curled his lips and said, "No matter how he died, his storage ring is still there. Let's see if there are any treasures left behind."
After hearing this, Yang Qi and the other two couldn't help but smile bitterly, but they didn't stop Wu Li. After all, they came here to find opportunities. Although the corpse in front of them was only a Martial Emperor in his lifetime, he was able to reach the depths of the Ancient Forbidden Land. His strength was obviously not too weak. At least he was a strong one among the high-level Martial Emperors. Even if he didn't get any opportunities in the Ancient Forbidden Land, the treasures he left behind would not be low in value.
Whoosh~
Wu Li moved and came in front of the corpse. He moved his hand and a stream of energy grabbed the storage ring in the corpse's hand.
"Tao soldiers!"
As soon as he grabbed the storage ring, Wu Li suddenly discovered the Taoist soldiers under the corpse. He immediately saw a flash of energy in front of him, and he moved the corpse away with a burst of energy, ready to collect the Taoist soldiers underneath.
Um
When Wu Li was moving the corpse, Yang Qi's face changed and he shouted, "Wu Li, get out of the way!"
Whoosh~
The moment Yang Qi's voice rang out, Wu Li retreated without hesitation. Although he didn't know why Yang Qi asked him to retreat, he knew that Yang Qi had no reason to lie to him. Yang Qi must have discovered something.
Whoosh~
At the moment when Wu Li was retreating violently, the corpse that was being moved suddenly moved. The corpse's right hand suddenly grabbed towards Wu Li, and a terrible power enveloped Wu Li.
"Get out of my way!"
Wu Li let out a low growl and quickly chopped at the attacking dry hand with the big knife in his hand.
Boom!
The corpse's right arm fell with a dull sound, and Wu Li's body was instantly blown away, hitting the stone wall of the hall hard.
Wow~
Under the fierce impact, Wu Li spat out a mouthful of blood from his mouth. It was obvious that he had suffered a great loss under the sudden attack of the corpse.
"What's going on?"
This sudden change made Liu Yi and Yan Feng's faces change drastically. They looked at the corpse that had stood up in disbelief. They had all sensed the corpse and it was clear that it had no breath of life. How could it still move
Yang Qi's eyes fixed on the corpse that stood up, and he slowly said, "Tarsal Corpse Worm!"
"It's actually a tarsal worm!" Liu Yi said in surprise.
"What is a tarsal worm?"
Wu Li and Yan Feng who came over and stood beside him asked hurriedly.
"The tarsal corpse worm is a kind of insect beast. As the name suggests, this kind of insect beast will attach itself to the skeleton. When they are not moving, they are like dead objects. Only when they are moving can they be detected." Yang Qi explained.
He had only heard of this kind of insect beast, but he did not expect to see it in the ancient forbidden land. If it were not for his powerful soul power, and if he had not sensed the soul fluctuations at the moment the tarsal corpse worm moved, Wu Li would probably have suffered a great loss.
Yang Qi looked at the corpse not far away and said in a deep voice, "The tarsal corpse worm will constantly invade the flesh of living beings, attach itself to the bodies of living beings, and use them as hosts to evolve itself. It seems that we have become its new target!"
Gurgle~
After hearing this, Wu Li couldn't help swallowing his saliva. It was obvious that the corpse had attacked him before and wanted to use him as a host. If Yang Qi hadn't reminded him in time, he might have been caught.
Although the specific strength of the tarsal corpse worm is unknown, once it invades the body, even if you survive, you will probably suffer considerable damage. (To be continued)
