Chapter 103 Harvesting the Silver Corpse (Third Update)
‘Are there many corpses? ! ’ Zhou Qing’s expression changed slightly.
After thinking for a moment, he turned to look at Yao Xuewei behind him.
"Sir, the situation inside is unknown. Let me go down to explore the way first."
He took Er Qing down. Although the poison of Peach Blossom Miasma was basically useless against the corpse, it could affect the sight of the corpse.
Yao Xuewei doesn't look like she has much fighting power anymore, so we might have to take care of her if we go together.
"That's fine." Yao Xuewei nodded and added "be careful" at the end when she saw Zhou Qing walking down the stairs.
"rest assured."
Zhou Qing's figure disappeared at the top of the stairs.
When he reached the next floor, he was in front of a narrow passage that could only accommodate one person.
It's easy to feel depressed in this kind of environment.
Zhou Qing walked along the winding corridor for about dozens of meters, and finally reached the end.
A breeze blew from the end of the aisle, carrying a nauseating stench.
Zhou Qing walked out of the aisle, and what he saw in front of him made him frown.
What comes into view is a huge underground cave, two-thirds of which is swampland.
In the mud of the swamp, every ten meters or so, stood a refined corpse covered in dirt.
At first glance, the number of refined corpses was over twenty, most of them iron corpses.
"This is."
Zhou Qing's complexion suddenly changed.
With his strong eyesight, he discovered two refined corpses in the swamp with silver metallic luster in their skin.
"Two silver corpses?!"
Zhou Qing's heart was awe-inspiring.
Lin Tianzheng probably didn't take him seriously at first.
Otherwise, if these two refined corpses are sent out, it may not be that easy for him to capture the Corpse Insect Gu King alive.
"A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength. It seems that Lin Tianzheng only regards me as a little ant."
Zhou Qing raised his feet and entered the cave, and there was a crunching sound under his feet.
He looked down and saw numerous bones at his feet. It seemed that they had been there for too long and many of them were buried by the soft soil.
"How many people must have been killed to refine these corpses." Zhou Qing felt chilled in his heart.
He couldn't do anything like killing innocent people purely for profit.
Even if the Fu brothers were killed, it was because they had done many evil things and killed many people.
With power, you can really do whatever you want.
If Lin Tian was not doing it in the light and he was doing it in the dark, maybe he would go out and cause trouble again after he hid here to recover from his injuries.
According to the records in the corpse refining secret book that I just read, not everyone is suitable for making corpse refining materials.
It requires people with strong bodies and special physiques, and warriors are the best.
Refining the corpse needs to be in a place with strong Yin energy, but also requires a large amount of blood food.
Obviously, human blood is easier to obtain than alien beasts.
Zhou Qing endured the stench and stepped on the bones everywhere before arriving at the edge of the swamp.
I saw hundreds of fist-sized black beetles in the muddy swamp. The entire backs of these beetles were covered with horseshoe-shaped black carapace, with arched backs.
It's a zombie.
Zhou Qing walked half a circle around the swamp, and after confirming that there was nothing else, he returned the same way and explained the situation to Yao Xuewei.
Hearing this, Yao Xuewei followed Zhou Qing down, passed through the passage, and came to the swamp.
"It seems that Lin Tianzheng is very likely to have colluded with the Wushen Sect, otherwise he alone would not be able to move so many corpses here without anyone noticing.
To make dozens of corpses, hundreds or even thousands of living people may be needed.
Refining corpses requires regular feeding of blood food, and while avoiding being wanted by the government, he also has to raise Gu."
Speaking of this, Yao Xuewei looked at Zhou Qing aside.
Zhou Qing saw this and said quickly: "I have never used people to raise voodoos. The voodoos eat all my enemies, but there is no innocent person."
"I think so." Yao Xuewei nodded and warned:
“If you feed the poison with living people, you will naturally kill innocent people indiscriminately.
If you kill too many innocent people, you will be filled with resentment and blood evil will invade your body.
For those who practice martial arts, it will have a great negative impact. "
"That's it." Zhou Qing looked like he had been taught something.
"I have seen some records about Gu insects in the family's scripture collection pavilion.
Among them is a kind of Gu called Resentment Gu, which feeds on resentment and blood evil.
Only by killing a large number of animals can we make offerings.
However, those who can support this kind of Gu insects are all giants in the magic way and high-level Gu masters. "
Zhou Qing heard the news about the Gu Master and was a little curious: "Then"
"There are no high-level Gu masters in the entire Jin Dynasty." Yao Xuewei shook her head.
“Thousands of years ago, an earth-shattering war broke out between warriors and Gu masters.
In the end, the Gu Master was defeated, and with the southern border as the boundary, high-level Gu Masters were not allowed to leave the Shiwanda Mountain.
A very important reason why the previous dynasty was destroyed was because the Song family, the royal family of the Zhao Kingdom, made an agreement with the top Gu masters to use the lives of hundreds of thousands of creatures to refine Gu.
This move touched the bottom line of all parties. In the end, the Sima family took the lead to establish the Jin Dynasty, destroy the Zhao Kingdom, and drive the Gu masters out of the Central Plains. "
"There are no high-level Gu masters in the Jin Dynasty?" Zhou Qing pondered.
The situation is similar to what the two siblings who gave birth to the barbarian tribe said, but it is more detailed.
From this point of view, the so-called former Zhao Hunjun Song Xiao directly cut off the food and fodder of the 180,000 Fengling Army and sat back and watched the Zhao Kingdom's elite army be wiped out. The truth needs to be verified.
“If you want to break through to the blood exchange realm in the future, it’s best not to focus on Gu Dao.
The method of raising Gu is ultimately inferior to warriors. Yao Xuewei warned.
"Thank you, sir, for reminding me that my subordinate is from a humble background and has limited qualifications. Only by using this method to increase combat power can we hope to have a glimpse of the upper realm." Zhou Qing said solemnly, with nothing to refute.
Whether it's martial arts training or cultivating Gu, whichever one can make him stronger and make him live a better life will be the priority.
It's just a means.
"Being humble is not a shame, and being born noble is not necessarily glorious. One's own efforts are the key." Yao Xuewei encouraged.
"That's true." Zhou Qing nodded, feeling that Yao Xuewei seemed to care about him more than before.
"It's best to destroy the corpses here. If it's related to the Witch God Cult, they will send someone over sooner or later to take them over." Yao Xuewei changed the topic.
"This" Zhou Qing hesitated.
Forget about ordinary corpse refining, the two silver corpses were precious combat power to him.
"What? Do you want to keep these refined corpses?" Yao Xuewei frowned slightly.
"Just preparing the blood food required for corpse refining every month will keep you from practicing martial arts.
Unless." At this point, Yao Xuewei's voice dropped slightly.
People cannot withstand the temptation of desire.
"Sir, you should also know my current situation. My master is seriously injured, and my enemies may come looking for me at any time. So I want to keep those two silver corpses for self-defense." Zhou Qing explained.
"That's okay." Yao Xuewei's tone softened a lot after hearing this.
For her, the most important thing about this trip was Lin Tianzheng's head.
To practice the Taiyi Geng Golden Sword Technique, what is needed is the ultimate sword.
Unless it was a treasure related to swordsmanship, nothing else mattered to her.
"Thank you, sir!!" Zhou Qing was overjoyed. He didn't expect Yao Xuewei to be so easy to talk to.
"I'm here to help you destroy the other refined corpses. I'll rest here tonight and return to the county town tomorrow." Yao Xuewei nodded.
"bass!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the long sword at her waist was unsheathed, and the sword energy drew three silver crescents in the air.
There were more than twenty refined corpses. Except for the two silver corpses at the end, all the others were decapitated and fell into the swamp on their backs.
"匌啷~"
When the sword was sheathed, Yao Xuewei's figure swayed, her feet staggered, and she almost lost her balance.
"grown ups?"
Seeing this, Zhou Qing quickly held Yao Xuewei's arm.
"Don't touch me!" Yao Xuewei broke away from Zhou Qing's hand as if she was electrocuted, and stood there holding her sword.
"You go and find a way to get the silver corpse out. I'm going to adjust my breathing for a while."
As soon as she finished speaking, she sat cross-legged on the ground.
"Yes." Zhou Qing responded.
