C119 (1/2)

”My wife, this place is rather far from Hanshan Temple.” Zhang Ziyuan said apologetically.

”That's probably what I meant. The Suzhou is a good scenery to begin with, there are gardens and there are knotweed root. This place is actually not bad, although it's not a scenic area, if we were to go out to the lake at night, I think it would be pretty good too.”

”Oh? ”So we're going to have a date this time?” Zhang Ziyuan rarely talked about dates, and indeed, I didn't have much time at all. After hearing him talk about it this time, my face started to feel slightly hot, right, even if it's my date with Zhang Ziyuan, it's still not bad?

”Yue Feng, about where?” Shuo Yue asked.

”Right here. Rumor has it that this place has always been deserted tombs. It's not strange that there are corpses here, but the appearance of large numbers of them is a bit strange.” Yue Feng had also learned a lot of techniques.

Before Yue Feng had finished speaking, a strange sound came from the trees in front of them. It seemed to be a low growl, and also seemed to be the sound of footsteps, getting closer and closer.

”Everyone be careful, it's time. It's probably time to come out!” Yue Feng reminded.

Sure enough, dozens of zombies began to move. These zombies had all kinds of different colours, and they all had different kinds of appearances.

Some of them had already turned into eerie white bones. Without flesh and blood, their movements were abnormally slow, as if they had no goal. They only followed along blindly with the other zombies.

There were also a few dried corpses in shroud. They seemed to have just died, but their faces were usually expressionless. Their arms were stretched out like zombies in a horror movie, as if they were touching something. Some of them had faces full of blood, and appeared abnormally terrifying. Others were covered by their hair, making it difficult to see their faces.

”Yeah, Mom, I've never seen a zombie parade on such a large scale. It scared me to death!” I tightly grabbed onto Zhang Ziyuan's arm.

”Cough cough, my wife, you have already become a Spirit Master. It is wrong for you to be so afraid of zombies.”

”But in this kind of situation where there's such an atmosphere, who would be afraid of such a time?”

”Fine.” Zhang Ziyuan was still soft-hearted, he quietly grabbed onto my arm and said, ”Don't be afraid, these aren't any high-levelled zombies, but the way they moved reminded me of something.”

”What is it?” I wondered.

”It's the 'atony' that you mentioned in your book, that kind of strange puppet technique. To be honest, these zombies could not be compared to transformed, it's more like they were under someone's control.”

I took a closer look at the zombies, as if they were organized and disciplined, not running around like the zombies in the movies.

It's said that not many people already know about the atony, and Zhang Shaowu said that other than his master's friend from the mechanical master, no one else has studied the so-called puppet technique.

”The world is a world full of wonders, the atony originated from the southern borders, and even if it has developed to this point, it is not something that just one or two people would understand, I'm afraid that the culprit is a atony expert.”

Was it the Southern Wilderness again? There are really a lot of strange spells in the Southern Wilderness. Without any venom or puppets, I suddenly remembered where A Luo had gone to after leaving for a few days. He was also unfamiliar with the Central Plains, so I don't know if there would be any dangers there.

As he was thinking, the zombies had already attacked us.

”So you would attack!”

”Nonsense, of course! Although zombies have no mind, they can sense the breathing and heartbeat of living people and attack. ” Shuo Yue didn't seem to understand this kind of thing.

Although there were a lot of zombies here, they were not that difficult to deal with. Some of them were obviously chopped down by the skeletons, but some of the clothes they wore were fashionable, making it difficult to deal with them!

”Could it be that some living people have become puppets?”

”Logically, it shouldn't happen. A living person has their own mind and thoughts. A normal puppet would find it hard to control a living person, but if a living person was infected with a cadaveric poison, it would be hard to say.” Zhang Ziyuan explained.

”A cadaveric poison?”

”You have to be careful not to get bitten by zombies. If you get bitten, you will be hit by cadaveric poison.”

Damn, with such a disgusting setting, I even said that the design of those zombie movies wouldn't appear in reality, but those zombies actually bit a person, and that person also became a zombie!

Because they knew these people were alive, they couldn't attack them. They could only knock them out or stop them.

”Anchor! ”Go!” He stopped for a second, and asked, ”Zhang Ziyuan, are there any chances for these infected people to recover?”

”Yes, as long as we pull out the cadaveric poison, there won't be a problem, and we can still recover.”

”But how do we pull out these cadaveric poison?” He hacked down two more and stopped one.

”You can let pyretic lustre try!”

Ah right, pyretic lustre, why didn't I think of that? I immediately summoned my pyretic lustre and it soared into the sky. I don't know if it was my misconception, but I felt that the pyretic lustre seemed to have grown bigger.

”Help them detoxify the pyretic lustre!”

The pyretic lustre wagged its tail, absorbing all the poison in the place. After a while, the faces of the people that were already under its control changed, as if they had regained their color.
