Chapter 1469 Devouring and Advancing!
It was late at night, and everything was quiet.
The world seemed to have fallen into a dead silence, with only the pale moon looking down at the earth, giving people a strange sense of psychological oppression.
"Ka Ka Ka..."
Under the pale moonlight, a human-shaped skeleton was seen shaking the dim soul fire between its eyebrows, walking very stiffly in a swamp.
Everyone who followed the human-shaped skeleton not far behind was suspicious: "Where is it going to take us?"
"Follow it!"
Ye Chen took a deep look at the human-shaped skeleton walking in the front, and his eyes flashed slightly.
It stands to reason that the existence of the undead is concentrated in the Corpse Demon Sea, but the place where everyone is is still a long distance away from the Corpse Demon Sea.
Why did a human-shaped skeleton appear?
"Ka Ka Ka..."
At this time, the human-shaped skeleton suddenly stopped, moved its stiff joints, lowered its head and looked at a gray area in the distance.
Indistinctly, a faint black gas was spreading from the gray area in the distance. From a distance, it looked like a piece of dark cloud.
"Be careful, this is corpse miasma!"
Ye Chen reminded everyone: "There is a high possibility of zombies here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a roar suddenly coming from the gray area, and then a hairy black shadow suddenly jumped out.
And behind it were three human skeletons.
After seeing that the black shadow was just a black zombie, Huang Quan Patriarch couldn't help laughing and said: "It's really a zombie, but it's just a black zombie. The level is too low. At most, it is equivalent to the foundation-building stage."
"Dengdengdeng..."
Although the black zombie was standing upright, its movements were extremely agile. It rushed towards the human skeleton in front of everyone like a black hurricane.
At the same time, the three human skeletons behind it also joined forces to kill the one in front, which was obviously premeditated for a long time.
"Be careful..." Yang Hao subconsciously reminded.
In the eyes of the crowd, the human-shaped skeleton leading the team did not retreat but advanced, and took the initiative to meet the zombie and three skeletons with a whoosh.
"Shua..."
The speed of the human-shaped skeleton was extremely fast, and the bright white bone claws fell on the zombie and three skeletons one after another.
"Puff!!!"
The zombie that was the first to be hit was instantly cut in half by the skeleton's bone claws, and the three skeletons behind it were directly cut off.
This battle of many bullying the few, with the strong counterattack of the human-shaped skeleton, the final result can be said to be beyond everyone's expectations.
This time, even the Huangquan ancestor who had been indifferent was shocked.
You know, the human-shaped skeleton in front of him is so weak that it is only at the level of Juling Realm, but it easily killed a black zombie comparable to the foundation-building period and three skeletons of the same level.
Then, the human-shaped skeleton slowly walked towards the three skulls on the ground, with its mouth creaking up and down.
It actually absorbed the soul fire between the eyebrows of the three skeletons.
At the same time, the originally dim soul fire between its eyebrows became much more condensed, and the flame gradually changed from white to red.
Even the color of its bones turned red.
At that moment, the expression of Huangquan Patriarch changed completely: "Fellow Daoist Ye, it can actually devour its own kind!!!"
Ye Chen stared at the transformed human-shaped skeleton with a fixed gaze, and his star-like eyes flickered non-stop.
The undead are also called undead creatures. They usually advance by cultivating their own soul fire, and advance as the soul fire grows stronger. This process often takes thousands of years.
However, among them, there are some darlings of fate, who have the soul fire of devouring their own kind to advance, but such existence is often not allowed by the way of heaven, and every time it appears, it is destroyed by heavenly punishment.
And now they have witnessed a darling.
Huang Quan Patriarch quietly looked at the transformed humanoid skeleton: "It has advanced, and now it is no less than the foundation-building stage. This person must have been extraordinary in his life."
"Not bad." Ye Chen nodded slightly.
The classification of the levels of the undead is not as complicated as that of the cultivators. Their strength is measured by the strength of the soul fire, and the strength of the soul fire is distinguished by color.
From low to high, they are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, and above them are silver and gold, just like the silver skeleton known as the silver wings that Ye Chen had seen in the Sea of Corpses before.
"Ka Ka Ka..."
At this time, the red skeleton lowered its head, stretched out its bone claws and easily pierced the heart of the black zombie, and then took out a black crystal core about the size of a pigeon egg from it.
It held the black crystal core like that, then turned and walked towards the crowd, gently handed it to Yang Hao, and its mouth made a clacking sound up and down.
"What is it going to do now?" Yang Hao said with a dark face.
Huang Quan Patriarch smiled gloatingly: "It wants to give you the corpse core of this zombie, so that you can eat it."
"What?"
Yang Hao was stunned for a moment, looked at the black crystal core, and subconsciously said: "What's the use of eating this thing? Can it make me invulnerable like a zombie?"
"Yes!"
Huang Quan Patriarch laughed: "Not only can it make you invulnerable, but it can also make you a zombie."
Hearing this, Yang Hao's face turned green, and he shook his head like a rattle: "No, I don't want it..."
The others couldn't help laughing when they saw this.
The red skeleton had no choice but to stick the crystal core on his forehead, melt it into energy with the soul fire, and then absorb it.
It can even absorb the crystal core of a zombie?
Seeing this scene, Ye Chen couldn't help but look at Huang Quan Patriarch, and both saw shock in each other's eyes.
The red skeleton turned around again and walked out of the swamp, turning back and waving at everyone from time to time.
Yang Hao felt a little scared and really didn't want to continue following. He said along the saliva: "Uncle Ye, why don't we go back..."
"It doesn't matter, follow and see."
Ye Chen smiled and patted his shoulder, motioning everyone to follow. He was more and more interested in this skeleton.
...
After half an hour, everyone followed the red skeleton to a cliff.
It's called a cliff, but it's extremely wide, enough to build a small village with 200 people on it.
However, the strange thing is that the cliff is a barren land, without any plants or creatures, just a bare piece, only the extremely black land, faintly mixed with scarlet liquid.
As soon as everyone climbed here, they felt an abnormally hot temperature coming towards them, as if they were in a furnace.
"It's so hot, so hot..." Yang Hao complained.
The red skeleton kept walking forward with everyone, and finally stopped in front of a huge rock.
"What is that?"
Someone pointed at the fire in the distance, and everyone looked over and saw a huge crater.
The most shocking thing was that there was a bright light shooting out from the crater, and it seemed that there were ancient buildings standing in it.
