Chapter 54: Strange Area
Seeing Zi Yuan nodded in agreement, Li Chuyi also nodded and said nothing more.
"So, what did you find?"
Zi Yuan nodded and began to tell Li Chuyi what she had found from the zombie rabbit's memory.
Just now, after Zi Yuan pointed at the zombie rabbit's eyebrows, she immediately felt her soul move, and the only blur in front of her eyes invaded the zombie rabbit's mind.
Unlike what she imagined, although this rabbit has turned into a zombie and has no protection for its mind, it is full of strong evil spirit. As soon as Zi Yuan entered, she was surrounded by the blood-red evil spirit in its mind, which constantly eroded her mind.
The defenseless Zi Yuan was immediately invaded by this evil spirit, and her heart was filled with madness and desire to kill. But after all, she was not the female ghost who had only a dead aura but did not know how to practice. After a slight panic, she immediately silently recited the scriptures in the "Netherworld Book" to guard her soul and prevent her mind from being lost.
After several efforts, she finally controlled her soul. Although she could not completely resist the evil spirit, she could at least fight it to a draw. She knew that she could not hold on for long. If she dragged on, the final result would be to turn into a monster like the zombie rabbit, which had no mind and only knew how to kill.
Time was running out, and Ziyuan immediately began to read the rabbit's memory. The memory of this zombie rabbit was very simple. Except for a few remaining survival memories of digging holes, eating grass, and mating, all the others were the desire to become crazy and bloodthirsty after turning into a zombie, and instinctively look for living things to kill.
But this dead land was full of death, where were there any living creatures for it to kill? Therefore, the memory of this rabbit was almost all about wandering aimlessly in the dead air where almost nothing could be seen. These scenes were just like the road that Li Chuyi had walked with her before, monotonous and repetitive.
The only different picture was that it suddenly saw a fat figure running fast, full of the kind of disgusting and crazy breath on its body, which made it instinctively rush towards it and want to kill it. This figure was Li Chuyi.
After searching for a long time, she didn't find any useful clues. Ziyuan felt that her resistance was getting weaker and weaker. If she continued to hold on, she would be eroded by the evil spirit in a short time.
Ziyuan was disappointed and was about to exit from his mind. At this time, a different picture appeared in front of Ziyuan. Ziyuan hurriedly stopped and focused on this different picture.
In the picture, the rabbit had been wandering in the dead air for an unknown period of time. One day, it suddenly walked into a different area unexpectedly. Unlike other places full of gray sand and stone, the ground here was paved with unknown black bricks. In the gaps between the bricks, many black dead grasses emerged in dots, which were the black dead grasses that the two had just discovered.
Moreover, in this area, there was no fog formed by the condensation of dead air. With the help of the pale white light that was strangely sprinkled in the empty sky, it was actually possible to see very far away.
Through the rabbit's eyes, Ziyuan was shocked to find that a black object could be vaguely seen in the far distance of this area. After carefully looking for a long time, Zi Yuan finally confirmed that if she was not mistaken, it was probably an altar.
Looking at the altar, Zi Yuan in the rabbit's mind could deeply feel the rabbit's extreme desire for the altar, and also felt the fear from the soul of the black brick paved ground in front of the rabbit, as if these black bricks would cause some fatal harm to the rabbit who had already turned into a zombie, making the rabbit extremely eager, but still dare not cross the line.
Zi Yuan wanted to continue observing, but the trembling from her soul made her know that she could not stay any longer. She quickly searched through the memory after the rabbit left, and after obtaining the general location of the strange area, Zi Yuan immediately cast a spell to retract her mind and retreated.
While telling the story, she recalled what she had just done. It was no wonder that Li Chuyi was so frightened and asked her to make all kinds of promises. Even Zi Yuan herself was a little bit unbelievable about her madness, and even a little scared afterwards. No wonder this soul-stealing method is so demanding to practice. She is also a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. If she had taken a wrong step just now, or reacted a little slower, then at this moment, she might have been controlled by the evil spirit and turned into a bloodthirsty monster like a zombie rabbit.
After secretly glancing at Li Chuyi, Zi Yuan secretly woke up in her heart. Unless it is absolutely necessary, she must never do such a dangerous thing in the future.
Li Chuyi did not notice Zi Yuan peeking at him. After listening to Zi Yuan's story, he fell into deep thought. After a long pause, Li Chuyi said, "There is no other way. We must go and take a look. If we just look aimlessly like this, we may never get out. I don't have much dry food left. If we take too long, we will be starved to death even if we are not killed by this dead air. I don't want to start practicing the "Book of the Netherworld" with you at such a young age."
After a slight pause, he continued, "The black altar you mentioned may be the only way for us to get out. Maybe that altar is the thing called the teleportation array that Xue Qing from the Taixu Palace told me about. No matter what, we have to go and take a look. However, even these almost unkillable zombie rabbits are afraid of that area. You are a ghost, and I am afraid that the area will also cause some unknown huge damage to you."
Zi Yuan nodded and said, "It's okay. If there is any problem, I will go back to the Demon Subduing Mirror. I think with the Demon Subduing Mirror guarding, even if there is something strange in that area, it can't hurt me. But, what if that area also harms you human cultivators? Even if there is no harm, if you go deep into it and encounter any danger, can you solve it by yourself?"
Li Chuyi certainly thought about what Zi Yuan said. However, there is no way. Now he has been trapped here for who knows how many days. This black altar may be his only way out. No matter what, he must go and take a look.
So, with his cheeks trembling, Li Chuyi spat on the ground and said viciously: "When the time comes, let's go first! Besides, there are so many masters of Dayan blocking me, and there is no such a shitty formation to kill me. In the end, I even tried drifting in the void and forcing through the space cracks. So many dangers didn't kill me, which shows that I am lucky and have a good life. Who knows, this shitty black ** domain can't kill me this time?" After saying that, he raised his head and roared to the sky like a wolf: "Heaven and earth are boundless, Taoist priests bless me Xiaoye, I Xianfu Yongxiang, Shou and Tianqi! Li Chu, who was domineering, didn't want to think about it. He waved his hand: "Kill and eat meat!" "Okay." Zi Ji nodded without expression, and he had to do it. Twisted and stood on the side. He secretly wiped the cold sweat. Li Chunyi took out various tools from the storage bag, and placed it lightly. Finally, Zi Yuan, who hated the matter of salvation, could not help it and said coldly: "Can you hurry up? Do I need to bring you an incense table?"
"No, no, it's just a habit." Li Chuyi waved his hand quickly, knowing that he was indeed a bit too much, but this was a habit he developed when he was making money with the Taoist priests.
He quickly put away the things, leaving only a wooden sword. Li Chuyi took the wooden sword and began to walk around the zombie rabbit, chanting as he walked, and waving the wooden sword from time to time.
Finally, in Zi Yuan's impatient expression, Li Chuyi thrust the wooden sword and lightly tapped the Taoist talisman on the zombie rabbit.
"Imperial order, wait for everyone, hurry up and be reborn!"
The Taoist talisman turned into a ball of flame, wrapped the zombie rabbit and burned. Not long after, only a handful of white ash was left on the ground.
