When a person is chopped into several pieces, he naturally dies.

A monk in the Earth Yuan Realm who is chopped into pieces like this will not die for a while, but if he is not treated for a long time, he will also perish.

And this puppet, although it has been chopped into pieces now, is not much different from before, except that it seems to occupy a larger area.

The runes in the puppet's body are still twisting like tadpoles.

The formation covered by it is also functioning.

Chu Yan walked over, stared down for a moment, and stuffed the puppet's body and limbs into the time and space cage of Guixu Tower.

Before this, Chu Yan just felt that the puppet's refining method was too cruel.

But now, he was extremely cautious.

Because just after Chu Yan performed the Nine Transformations of Xingxuan, he confirmed one thing.

Being able to catch his own blow head-on without any defense is certainly due to the puppet's strong body.

But more of it is due to the runes.

It was the talisman that spread out the moment the starlight fell, covering the puppet, thus bearing most of the damage caused by Xingxuan's Nine Transformations.

This rune pattern is weird.

Chu Yan didn't know whether it would have any adverse effects on him, so at this moment, he chose two insurances to support him.

One is to cut the puppet's body apart so that it cannot move.

The other one is to cut the puppet's body into pieces and put it into the Guixu Tower.

Only you can open the Guixu Tower. Even if the puppet has other tricks that you don't know about, it is impossible to escape from the Guixu Tower.

And this way, it is also convenient for you to monitor the changes of this puppet at any time.

"I'll study it carefully when I get back."

After doing all this, Chu Yan stood where the stone house was before.

The stone house has been crushed into powder under the light of Xingxuan's Nine Transformations.

Where the original stone house was, only some protrusions remain, proving that there were still stone houses here.

After Chu Yan walked around the area for a few steps, he suddenly stamped his foot.

With a crash, the ground cracked open, revealing a dark hole.

Inside the cave entrance, there is a stone staircase leading to the bottom of the island.

When Chu Yan used his spiritual consciousness to explore before, he discovered that there was something else underneath the stone house.

Now it seems that my investigation was indeed correct.

Although the male cultivator was dead, Chu Yan did not take it lightly.

When walking down the stairs, he used his spiritual consciousness and spiritual energy to explore at the same time, and only after making sure that there was no problem, he stepped forward.

The male cultivator did not set up any defense inside the cave, not even a basic illusion formation. However, at this time, Chu Yan didn't know whether he was too confident or for some other reason.

The hole was very deep, and Chu Yan walked down for almost a quarter of an hour before he reached the bottom.

The stone steps above the cave entrance are all neatly repaired, but when you reach the bottom, they look rougher.

In this regard, Chu Yan estimated that the cave was discovered not long ago by the male cultivator.

"At this depth, we should have penetrated into this reef. I didn't expect that this reef is submerged under the sea surface, but it is so deep."

Taking a breath at this time, a rotten smell came, like the smell of wood that had been buried for a long time and became moldy.

However, it was pitch black all around, and for a while, it was not clear what was here.

Chu Yan raised his fingers and his spiritual energy circulated.

Immediately, stars shone from the fingertips, illuminating the cave in the reef as bright as day.

The ground in front of you is paved with bluestone bricks, but it has already appeared damaged.

When he saw a dozen damaged corpses scattered on the ground, Chu Yan walked over in a few steps and knelt down to take a look.

Suddenly, a sharp light appeared in his eyes.

"The wounds on these corpses were obviously caused after death, and..."

Chu Yan stood up and looked up at the stone wall of the cave.

There are circular pits dug out on the stone wall.

Judging from the size of these round pits, they can just fit an adult into them.

Moreover, the circular pit should have been sealed with bricks and stones.

It's just that the bricks and stones were broken and broken, which can be inferred from the broken bricks scattered on the ground.

Glancing around, in a moment, what happened here before had already emerged in Chu Yan's mind.

"This was originally supposed to be a burial ground, but for some reason, these corpses escaped from the graves, that is, the sealed round pits.

Then the evil cultivator should have discovered it, and then the evil cultivator killed all the corpses."

Thinking of this, Chu Yan's heartstrings twitched suddenly.

He immediately recalled the tide of corpses he saw when he first came to Baoxiang Shangguo, as well as the corpse generals with powerful blood.

Chu Yan quickly lowered his head and looked carefully.

The more he looked, the more frightened he became.

“The traces of broken bricks and stones were all caused recently, which means that these zombies were resurrected only recently.

The master said that similar things have happened several times in recent times.

The resurrection of the corpse here should not be a coincidence."

The reason why Chu Yan was so concerned about this matter was because he had always vaguely felt that the appearance of zombies was too close to the time when he released the skeleton in Inugami Mountain.

"In that case, the male cultivator may have discovered something in this cave, so he built a stone house on it."

As soon as he thought of this, Chu Yan immediately raised his head and looked around.

At this time, he felt a little regretful.

I killed the male cultivator too early.

Otherwise, maybe you can ask the other party for the truth now.

But now that the male cultivator is dead, the impact is not very big.

Because Chu Yan quickly found the answer he needed on the stone wall above the cave.

On the stone wall, there are rows of words and pictures carved on it.

"What is recorded here is a method of refining a corpse into a puppet, and at the same time, it can also give the puppet a trace of sanity and the ability to cast spells during life!"

Originally, Chu Yan planned to wait until he returned to Tianya Sect and then study the chopped zombie carefully.

Now it seems that this step can be completely omitted.

Because the entire process has been explained in great detail on this stone wall.

At the end of this paragraph, there is even a thoughtful reminder that the materials needed to refine the puppet are already prepared in a place in this cave.

Chu Yan immediately stepped over.

The place the text refers to is a stone wall.

However, this stone wall has obvious seams.

Chu Yan directly pointed his finger at the stone wall.

With a loud crashing sound, large pieces of rubble collapsed, and boxes of materials for refining the puppet were displayed in front of Chu Yan.

As a rough estimate, there are at least nearly a hundred boxes.

Chu Yan took out a box and opened it to take a look.

Inside are bamboo-like things about two feet long.

It's just that these things are all ink-colored.

Moreover, this ink color exuded an evil feeling, and the starlight on Chu Yan's fingertips seemed to be absorbed into it.
