Chapter 741 (2/2)

An endless horde of walking corpses continuously surrounded them, leaving no chance for escape.

Thinking back to the different reactions of the walking corpses when several groups had entered the Soul Tomb before, Lin Jing became even more certain of this.

The first group of four people and the third group of three had both used spiritual shields to protect themselves.

It was precisely because of the spiritual shields that they attracted the attacks of the walking corpses.

Only the second group, the two demon cultivators, seemed to rely on their coffin-shaped magical treasure, but that wasn’t the case.

The reason they were not attacked was that they did not use any spiritual power when they entered.

Actually.

The pattern of the walking corpses’ movements was easy to figure out.

But because of the deadly reputation of the Soul Tomb, every cultivator who entered tried to find ways to protect themselves.

The more thorough their protection, the more it tended to attract the walking corpses’ attacks.

Once contact began and drew the attention of the walking corpses, it inevitably caused fluctuations in spiritual power, and the greater the fluctuations, the more walking corpses were attracted.

By the time they discovered this pattern, it was already too late.

The walking corpses had been alarmed, and to ensure their survival, they had no choice but to slay them, which in turn required using spiritual power…

Moreover.

Most of the time, the Soul Tomb was enveloped in a colorful fog, making it impossible for those outside to see what was happening inside.

And those inside, once they entered, could never leave or send messages outside.

Therefore, the pattern of the walking corpses inside the Soul Tomb has never been known to the outside.

Lin Jing then thought of the two demon cultivators, who seemed to know something.

It was just unclear how they came to know it.

…

Shortly after, the Yan Family patriarch returned to their side and informed them about this situation.

Indeed.

The Yan Family patriarch’s analysis coincided with Lin Jing’s.

Having learned the pattern of the walking corpses’ movements, the trio felt somewhat relieved.

Even if they encountered walking corpses thereafter, they were not so panicked anymore.

Subsequently, the three hid themselves well and tried their best to minimize their own fluctuations as they continued walking deeper inside.

Walking on this replica street, they avoided the walking corpses while looking for another spacious alley.

Now that they had figured out the walking corpses’ pattern of movement, yet in the streets and courtyards on either side of the alleys,

there were still those unknown, mysterious creatures.

So, the trio didn’t dare enter overly narrow alleys and could only choose the more spacious ones.

As the three kept moving, they got farther and farther from the main street, and the noises from that direction became less and less.

This time, they did not find an alley that led to the center of the Soul Tomb but found another spacious street along the river.

This street was very wide.

But there were quite a few walking corpses here as well, almost every few meters, they encountered one.

The three reached the banks, where the riverwater had already turned black and red, and even limbs and severed arms were constantly floating in the river.

Moreover, the occasional waves of bloody stench mixed with foul smells continuously invaded their nostrils.

Helplessly,

Lin Jing and his companions had to hold their breath as they walked.

This time.

Their journey was not as smooth.

Due to an increase in the walking corpses, it was inevitable that they encountered a few.

And whenever this happened, the Yan Family patriarch would promptly take action and deal with them directly.

Sometimes, two or three walking corpses, being too close, would be startled at once.

At these times, Lin Jing would also take action.

Lin Jing’s method was different from the Yan Family patriarch; he truly took action.

Lin Jing’s formidable body refinement cultivation was not something these long-dead walking corpses could withstand.

He could simply crush a walking corpse’s skull with his bare hands without using spiritual power, though it was somewhat violent, the noise made was minimal, not enough to attract other walking corpses.

With the Yan Family patriarch and Lin Jing there, Changyun Yuanlei didn’t need to make a move, just following along and watching was enough.

Of course, he couldn’t make a move either.

Should he act, it would inevitably cause quite a disturbance, definitely attracting more walking corpses.

Thus, the trio continued to move forward for a good while.

Just as they reached nearly halfway, activity from the main street could be heard again.

“Boom!”

A huge explosion was heard, this one even more intense than before.

Seeing this,

it seemed another Divine Transformation cultivator had self-destructed…
