Chapter 40 - White-haired Monster Corpse
The flower spot was the name Li Mu had given to the Multi Colored Tiger. Honestly speaking, if the Multi Colored Tiger had been able to reach the Green Cloud Mountain in two months, it would have been the most helpful.
Seeing the spots on the tiger that was so tired, Li Mu's heart softened and jumped down. He touched the spot on the tiger's head and felt a little embarrassed.
”Alright. Then, let's rest here for the night and continue our journey tomorrow. I'll go find some food!”
Li Mu and Ren Xiaoyao greeted each other, then carried their bags and walked towards the forest on the other side.
Ren Xiaoyao heaved a sigh of relief. Leaning against a huge tree, he built up a fire, then retrieved a wine pot to happily drink a few mouthfuls, while Hua Ban laid not far from Ren Xiaoyao as if a burden had been lifted off his shoulders, and fell into a deep sleep.
Walking in the forest, Li Mu used the river crossing step to wander around, and gradually he felt something strange, he didn't know why, but the forest was abnormally quiet, terrifyingly quiet. Along the way, he really did not encounter a single beast.
”How can this be? This Green Cloud Mountain is so big, it's impossible that not even a single beast or bird can be found! ”
Li Mu muttered to himself. He took another look around, and then sprinted a few kilometers back and forth. However, the mountain was still a mountain, and the tree was still a tree.
”Strange, weird, could it be that you've seen a ghost?”
Li Mu's curiosity got stronger and stronger, he gritted his teeth and activated river crossing step to its limit, increasing the range of his search once again. He could not believe that in the entire Green Cloud Mountain, he would not be able to find a single beast to sacrifice to the Five Zombies Temple.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, an hour had passed. Standing on top of a huge tree branch, Li Mu drooped his head and pulled a long face.
He still did not encounter a living thing, not even a tiny worm.
”Roar!”
Suddenly, Li Mu's ears moved, he heard an angry beast roar. From the range of his senses, it did not seem to be far from him.
”There's finally movement!”
Li Mu's face lit up, and with a flash, he rushed towards the direction of where the roar came from. From afar, he looked like a nimble ape.
Not long after, Li Mu finally arrived at the place where the beast roars originated from, but when he saw the scene in front of him, even he could not help but take in a breath of cold air.
Not far in front of him were a group of strange, triple-horned demon beasts that looked like black cattle were fighting with a group of humanoid creatures.
There were more than twenty humanoid creatures with snow-white hair and disheveled hair. Other than their movements being a bit stiff, they were no different from humans.
However, this did not make much of a difference. When Li Mu looked at one of the faces from a distance, he could not help but vomit.
Most of their cheeks were covered with lines of white maggots. Their eyes shone with a green light, their fangs were revealed, and their fingernails were incomparably long. They looked very much like the demon corpses that Li Mu had seen in an ancient book.
”Roar!”
The Three-Horned Black Bull was in a disadvantageous position after being attacked by more than twenty humanoid creatures. It would let out roars from time to time. It was not because the Three-Horned Black Bull was weak, but because these humanoid creatures were truly strange.
Li Mu saw it with his own eyes. A humanoid monster had its chest pierced by a triangle-shaped black bull, if it was a normal person, this kind of attack would be fatal, but for the humanoid organism, this kind of fatal attack seemed to have no effect.
With the horn pierced through its chest, the humanoid only let out an angry roar. Then, it stood up and continued its fierce attack on the triangle-shaped black yak.
Facing a group of almost indestructible humanoids, the triangle-shaped black yak was extremely aggrieved. However, there was nothing he could do. His intelligence was not high, and even though he had brute force, it was useless.
If it weren't for the thick and rough skin of the triangle-shaped black yak, as well as the fact that it would be difficult for the claws of the humanoid creature to deal fatal damage to it within a short period of time, its soul would have long since left its body.
”This triangle-shaped black yak is really powerful. Judging from the aura emitted by his body, he's at least at the third level, but he's still being suppressed!”
”Is this really the legendary demon corpse?” It really looks like it was transformed from a rotting corpse, but it actually didn't die. ”
Li Mu was hiding on top of a huge tree, watching the intense battle from before, his heart was shaken, he finally understood why there were no longer any beasts or birds here. With this group of terrifying humanoid creatures, even living beings would be scared off.
”Roar!”
A hoof trampled a human-shaped creature beneath its feet, and the sharp horn on the head of the triangle-shaped black bull suddenly pierced down, nailing the human-shaped creature to the ground.
But at this moment, the remaining humanoid creatures rushed forward and pounced onto the body of the triangle-shaped black yak. The triangle-shaped black yak roared and shook its body, but it was unable to shake off these humanoid creatures.
These humanoid creatures had sharp fangs. If a single bite were to land on the body of the triangular-shaped black yak, it would not be fatal. However, a pounce on the triangular-shaped black yak had an effect very quickly.
The triangle-shaped black yak gradually collapsed, its cries slowly calming down. Very quickly, a stream of fresh red blood flowed out, and Li Mu knew that this Level Three demon beast was completely finished.
As expected, in less than half an incense's time, the huge black yak was cleanly devoured by the humanoid creatures, leaving behind a pool of blood on the spot.
”Gulp!”
Li Mu swallowed his saliva, looking at the humanoid beast's unsatisfied look, his stomach started to growl.
cursed inwardly. He never thought that these half human, half ghost monsters would have such good hearing.
”Err …!”
All of them surrounded the giant tree that Li Mu was on. In the blink of an eye, the tree that Li Mu was on was filled with human-shaped monsters.
