Several hundred miles east of Yangcheng there is Taiyin Mountain, with its main peak over a thousand meters high and the mountains stretching across it for more than ten miles.
Several surrounding villages rely on this mountain for their livelihoods.
Hunting, selling charcoal, raising monsters, etc.
…
Since last month, a humanoid monster has suddenly appeared in Taiyin Mountain. It is invulnerable and lives by devouring the blood of living creatures. Many surrounding hunters have been killed in its mouth. They died miserably, with their necks being bitten.
It was extremely ferocious, and all the blood in the body had been sucked away, like a mummy.
According to local spiritual officials, this humanoid monster is a zombie.
"Vampire-sucking, one of the essential skills for zombies..."
After Luo Xiu read the file in his hand, he couldn't help but murmured in his heart, and then looked at Jiao Sai, who was riding a horse beside him.
This time the two of them went to Taiyin Mountain and rode there on horseback.
Only when monks reach the realm of expelling objects can they fly as they please. The two of them are not yet able to do this at their current realm.
Luo Xiu's realm is sufficient, but his magic power cannot support him to fly for a long time.
As for Jiao Sai, his magic power is stronger than Luo Xiu, but his own realm is not enough to release his spiritual consciousness, let alone use magic weapons.
In fact, the two of them have another option, which is to use the magic walking talisman or the flying talisman. This type of talisman can fly in a short time, but the shortcomings are also obvious. The maintenance time is short and it is expensive, so it is not affordable for the poor.
, even if Lingfu can reimburse it, it cannot be allowed to squander it at will.
In other words, Lingfu is not a fool, and the superiors will also review it.
In comparison, the price-performance ratio of a horse is very high.
"Junior Brother Luo, after this mission is over, you can consider buying a horse. It is quite good for daily transportation. Moreover, horses are spiritual creatures. The chance of becoming a demon is higher than that of flowers and plants.
Gao, as long as it is raised well, it is not impossible to raise it until it transforms in the future. This horse of mine was carefully selected, with a snow-white body and a docile personality..."
While Jiao Sai caressed the little mare under him, he taught his junior brother the experience of those who had experienced it.
Then wouldn't it become your pony... Luo Xiu looked at Jiao Sai with a serious face and felt inexplicably admirable. He suddenly felt that the word pervert could not be used to describe him.
"Brother Jiao, I don't need it for the time being."
Luo Xiu laughed dryly and declined Jiao Sai's suggestion.
"Why, do you think I'm abnormal? I learned this from the Confucian saints."
Jiao Sai seemed to see what Luo Xiu was thinking and said seriously.
"??"
Luo Xiu looked at Jiao Sai, a little confused.
Jiao Sai said unhurriedly: "There is a Confucian sage who raised a white deer since he was a child. Later, the white deer took the form of a demon and they got married, which became a good story. I can also be considered as imitating the Confucian sage."
"..."
Luo Xiu turned his head and looked at Qiqi on his shoulder.
Qiqi flicked her slender tail, her ice-blue eyes stared at Luo Xiu, and her soft and cute voice sounded: "This matter does exist. It is recorded in the Confucian "White Deer"."
Species can no longer stop Lao Sepi... Luo Xiu is speechless.
The Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian Confucian scholar certainly didn’t expect that he would make a good start for those who came after him.
…
Close to Taiyin Mountains.
Luo Xiu met the spiritual official wearing the spiritual clothes of the Ling Mansion on the official road. The other person was the spiritual official in charge of this area.
"Junior brother Fan Qing, I have met my two senior brothers."
The other party was a young man of about twenty years old, with a handsome and resolute face. When he saw Luo Xiu and the other two, he stepped forward to greet them, took out a jade sign representing his identity, and then bowed to them in salute.
"Jiao Sai, the third detachment of the Yangcheng Juling Department."
"Luo Xiu, the third detachment of the Yangcheng Juling Department."
Jiao Sai and Luo Xiu also took out jade tokens representing their identities one after another.
Both parties confirmed their identities.
Jiao Sai also quickly entered the state, without a playful smile all the way, and asked quite seriously: "How is the situation now? I heard it is very difficult?"
"Well, that zombie grew very fast. Last month, it didn't dare to approach the group of hunters. This month, it dared to attack human villages. Even the monsters living in the mountains suffered a lot.
It fell into its poisonous hands. During this period, I fought with it. It was difficult for ordinary talismans to cause harm to it. My fellow juniors and I could only barely protect the nearby villages.
That’s why we sent people to Yangcheng Ling Mansion to ask for help.”
Fan Qing said in a deep voice.
"Last month? It was less than two months ago. Are you sure it was a zombie?"
A flash of doubt flashed in Jiao Sai's eyes, and he asked, "Normal zombies can't grow so fast. Ordinary zombies just start to move around and look for food, and their limbs are usually extremely stiff. In this case, several adults with tools can kill them."
Even if it is settled, let alone the spirit official, a thunder talisman can send it to heaven.
"That zombie is very special. Both its strength and defense are far superior to ordinary zombies."
Fan Qing nodded and continued.
"Isn't it a zombie transformed by a monk or a barbarian?"
Jiao Sai pondered for a while and muttered softly.
Luo Xiu couldn't help but look at Qiqi on his shoulder.
Qiqi explained tacitly: "Zombies are a special kind of existence transformed from corpses. After a living being dies, some spiritual soul will remain in the body. By chance, these incomplete souls will be combined with the body, causing the corpse to become a
Zombies have become an immortal existence. Therefore, they lack intelligence and only know how to act according to instinct.
Corpses of different races become zombies differently.
Monks, monsters, barbarians, etc.
The stronger the innate strength, the stronger the zombie will be.
There are even zombies that can cast spells from their lifetimes. Such zombies are called magic zombies, but such zombies are extremely rare.
There are records in the Ling Mansion.
There were monks who took the initiative to turn their bodies into Dharma corpses in pursuit of immortality, but unfortunately they failed in the end and turned into monsters that only knew bloodthirsty."
"There has never been a shortage of monks in this world who would do anything for immortality. Such monks are also the enemies of our spiritual palace, because these people can no longer be called human beings. In order to achieve their goals, they will do anything. Some of them are harmful.
More terrifying than the demon clan."
When Jiao Sai heard this, he gave Luo Xiu some knowledge.
Fan Qing couldn't help but look at Luo Xiu, as if he was a little surprised why Luo Xiu didn't know these things.
"He has just entered Ling Mansion not long ago. He came here this time to learn from experience."
Jiao Sai explained casually, then changed the topic and continued to ask: "Have you determined the location of the zombie now?"
"There are many demon clans in the mountains who have provided us with clues, and now we have basically locked its location. It is thanks to them. Without them, we would not have been able to defend the surrounding villages so easily."
Fan Qing chuckled.
Obviously, the spiritual officials in this area have a good relationship with the demon clan in the Taiyin Mountains.
"Then go take a look first."
Jiao Sai nodded and said.
Fan Qing naturally had no objection and led the two of them towards the Taiyin Mountains.
