The three of them approached the grass very cautiously, and then when they were less than thirty steps away from the grass, they could clearly see a skeleton eating something.
All three of them gasped.
Perhaps this movement disturbed the skeleton, and the skeleton turned around in an instant, revealing its ferocious face.
Only then did Zhao Xun realize that this was not a complete skeleton. There was still a lot of flesh on the face of the skeleton.
"hiss"
Zhao Xun couldn't help but gasped.
This is too terrible.
"Third senior brother, be careful."
It's too late, it's too late.
The moment Zhao Xun blurted out, the skeleton pounced on Zhao Xun.
The skeleton's reaction speed was top-notch, and even Zhao Xun was forced to stay away from it.
As a fourth-level practitioner, Zhao Xun was quite fast. He moved backwards quickly to avoid the skeleton's fatal blow.
Third senior brother Long Qingquan was not polite. In the flash of lightning, he had already drawn out his flower-burial sword and slashed hard at the skeleton.
The skeleton's attention was all on Zhao Xun, and he was completely unaware that Long Qingquan was coming from behind.
Long Qingquan swung hard and easily chopped off a section of the skeleton's arm.
The skeleton didn't seem to feel any pain, but showed a slightly surprised expression.
The remaining flesh on his face twitched for a moment, and then turned towards Long Qingquan.
Long Qingquan felt secretly proud when he saw this.
His purpose has been achieved.
As long as the skeleton comes towards him.
As long as this skeleton doesn't hurt my junior brother, everything will be for the best.
"Go to hell, you beast!"
Long Qingquan is still quite confident.
With his current strength, the chance of winning against a skeleton must be 100%.
If he couldn't even defeat a skeleton, it would be a big loss.
The essence of Flower Burying Swordsmanship lies in the ultimate offensive.
One wave comes after another, just like ocean waves.
The continuous offensive gave the opponent no chance to breathe.
Of course, the skeleton is no match for Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan.
In essence, he is just a summoned object. He is no match for a second-grade peak powerhouse like Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan.
The skeleton was defeated after just a few moves, and was completely unable to cope with it.
Third senior brother Long Qingquan wanted to chop the skeleton with a knife, but Zhao Xun quickly shouted to stop.
It would be a pity if such a good living person was chopped off by Third Senior Brother with a knife.
"Third senior brother, wait a minute, let's save someone under the sword."
Zhao Xun's purpose was very clear, which was to take the skeleton back and let the mountain chief take a look.
There is no doubt that this guy is a sentinel of the Corruptor.
If we could pry out a few words from his mouth, it would be of great help to the Academy Alliance.
"Why, little junior brother, do you want to save his life?"
"Well, keep him alive and we can go back and interrogate you."
Zhao Xun paused and said: "Well, Third Brother, if you are worried, you can cut off his hands and feet. This way we don't have to worry about it suddenly breaking out and hurting people."
Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan held his chin with one hand and thought carefully: "This method is good, but Junior Brother, are you sure he can still survive after we cut off his hands and feet?"
"This guy is just a summoned object. The Corruptor directly summoned and resurrected it from the corpse. So in my opinion, he can still survive even if his arms and legs are broken."
Zhao Xun said very confidently.
Third senior brother Long Qingquan was obviously convinced by Zhao Xun's reasons.
He swung his sword quickly and easily chopped off all the skeleton's arms and legs, just like chopping off ribs.
When Zhao Xun saw this, he instinctively turned his head and didn't want to look.
After Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan had finished handling the skeleton, Zhao Xun turned his head again and said with a wry smile: "Third Senior Brother, you did a great job."
Long Qingquan rolled his eyes and said, "Junior brother, why do I think there is something in your words?"
"No, no, how is this possible? Let's leave as soon as possible."
"Um"
After returning to the academy, third senior brother Long Qingquan immediately sent the skeleton to the mountain chief.
Based on the current situation of the academy, there is no doubt that the mountain chief must take responsibility.
The mountain chief is the most senior in the academy, so of course everyone should listen to him.
There is no doubt about this.
"Mountain Chief, this thing was discovered by my disciples when they were patrolling the mountain. Please take a look and see what kind of thing this is. Is it summoned by the Corruptor?"
Although Zhao Xun already had a preliminary judgment in his mind, he still couldn't guarantee it.
He now urgently needs the mountain chief to give an accurate word.
The mountain chief remained silent.
He stared at the skeleton in front of him for a long time, still not uttering a word.
This undoubtedly made Zhao Xun confused. Even the two senior brothers, Long Qingquan and Lu Guangdou, were a little confused for a while.
what is happening.
Generally speaking, the mountain chief knows everything.
Could it be that
"This should be something summoned by the Corruptor, just like the evil things summoned by the Demon Sect."
After a long silence, the mountain leader finally spoke.
call
Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.
That's right.
Just like before, they were all nervous to death.
"The reason why I haven't been able to come to a conclusion for a long time is because the Corruptor and the Demon Sect are somewhat similar in nature. So I have been wondering whether this thing was summoned by the Demon Sect. But now it seems that this thing
The possibility of being summoned by the Corruptor is obviously higher."
The mountain chief told him his mental journey, and Zhao Xun understood everything in an instant.
That's it.
"So Chief Shan, the number of undead in the Corruptor should be similar to that of the Demon Sect?"
Zhao Xun asked tentatively.
"You could say that."
The mountain chief nodded slightly, agreeing with Zhao Xun's judgment.
"The Demon Sect has some similarities with the undead tribe in Corruptor, and summoning is the biggest similarity. But in terms of degree of similarity, the Demon Sect and the Dark Wizard seem to be closer."
When it comes to the level of fighting against dark wizards and demon sects, the mountain leader is obviously much more experienced.
Back in the void space, the mountain chief had fought against the black wizard and the demon sect.
Although the mountain commander was taken advantage of due to his carelessness and underestimation of the enemy, he finally retired with success and did not suffer too much risk.
"Master, I feel that this matter may not be as simple as we imagined."
The mountain chief sighed and said, "My good disciple, come and see this way."
The mountain chief nodded to the skull's head and said, "The skin and hair haven't fallen off yet, which means that the person has just died. If the person had been dead for a long time, he would have been a complete withered skeleton."
Zhao Xun agreed with what the mountain chief said.
He felt this way the first moment he saw the skeleton.
It's just that he couldn't say it out loud for a while.
"So this is what the Corruptor summoned just after a kill?"
"That's how it should be."
The mountain leader knew that although the truth was cruel, he would still tell it when necessary.
"So the Corruptors must have taken action against the people around Chang'an City or Zhongnan Mountain. They want to summon the undead army."
The mountain leader's next words undoubtedly made the academy disciples gasp.
Naturally, Zhao Xun is included among them.
In fact, Zhao Xun had considered this possibility before, but did not dare to confirm it for a while.
But when the same words are spoken from the mouth of the mountain chief, the meaning is naturally completely different.
At this moment, Zhao Xun was basically certain that what the mountain chief said was true.
"Then what are we going to do next?"
Zhao Xun asked hurriedly.
According to his character, it is naturally impossible for him to sit idly by and ignore it.
According to the character of the mountain leader, he would not turn a deaf ear.
The Academy will definitely choose to take action, the key is in what way and at what time to take action.
These are crucial.
Instead of slapping your head and yelling when you see injustice, that would be irresponsible to yourself.
"We must find the headquarters of the Corruptor Alliance. Only in this way can we severely damage their summoner who summons the undead army."
Shan Chang's thinking is quite clear.
He immediately identified the crux of the problem.
"Um"
Zhao Xun thought about it carefully and felt that what the mountain chief said was indeed reasonable.
"So, at this time, we must ask Taoist Priest Qinglian to come out."
The mountain chief said without hesitation.
"My good disciple, it's up to you."
"Um?"
Zhao Xun wondered how this was related to his mentor Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi?
Could it be called mind-watching?
Grand Observation Technique can locate the location based on the smell, but Observation Mind Technique seems to be unable to do so, right?
In his impression, his mentor Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi should only be able to observe the mind but not the big mind.
Did the mountain chief make a mistake?
Although he knew it would be awkward to ask so directly, Zhao Xun also knew that he still had to express his attitude clearly when necessary.
Otherwise, it is more likely to cause problems if you hide it.
"That mentor. My disciple feels that Taoist Qinglian doesn't know how to observe the mind."
"No, he will, he always will, it's just that he doesn't show it."
The mountain chief seemed to have known that Zhao Xun would say this, and said categorically.
"Well"
Zhao Xun was stunned for a moment.
The mountain chief really knows everything and is omnipotent.
It seems that there is no possibility of concealing anything that comes out of the mouth of the mountain chief.
Zhao Xun knew that the mountain chief would never lie.
Since the mountain chief concluded that his mentor, Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi, knew how to observe the mind, he would definitely know it.
But why does Wu Quanyi, the mentor of Qinglian Taoist priest, keep hiding it?
What's the point?
Zhao Xun was really confused.
"Then disciple, let's go and try."
Zhao Xun knew that at this time, it was the most correct choice to respond in one fell swoop.
"Okay. Go and come back quickly. There is no time to delay now."
The mountain chief was obviously worried when he said this.
In his opinion, the current situation is indeed very dangerous.
At this time, time is the most precious thing. Every moment you can get is worth it.
In the bamboo building, Zhao Xun and Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi sat opposite each other, speechless.
After being silent for a long time, Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi let out a long sigh and said, "My dear disciple, do you know why I want to hide from you that I know the Grand Observation Mind Technique? That's because anyone who can use the Grand Observation Mind Technique
, will have the opportunity to get a glimpse of the secret of heaven. And anyone who can get a glimpse of the secret of heaven has a huge possibility of being punished by heaven. I don’t want to tell you this, because I am worried that you will do something stupid after knowing it.
.”
Zhao Xun listened very carefully. In his opinion, what his teacher said did not seem to be false.
Speaking sincerely is like digging out the pit of your heart.
Relying on his understanding of the character of his mentor, Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi, Zhao Xun finally believed in his mentor.
"Teacher, if that's the case, I'll leave it to you this time. Whether the academy can survive or not depends entirely on you."
Zhao Xun deliberately described the matter in a light-hearted way, with the purpose of attracting the attention of his mentor, Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi.
There is a saying that a child who can cry has milk to drink. The more you cry at this time, the better the effect will be.
On the contrary, if he behaves too strongly, it is likely that his mentor Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi will not be able to make up his mind in the end.
This is what Zhao Xun doesn't want to see anyway.
Although the current situation is not at the end of the road for the academy, it is actually already very dangerous.
At this time, if my mentor Qinglian Taoist Master Wu Quanyi can step forward, it would be the best choice.
"Okay. Master agreed."
His mentor Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi nodded, accepting Zhao Xun's request.
This made Zhao Xun breathe a sigh of relief.
It's not easy, it really is not easy.
"Great, my disciple captured a skeleton summoned by the Corruptor. It should be similar to the demon sect's ghost. Can you help me take a look and see if you can judge where the remaining Corruptors are gathered based on the smell on its body. Where. Only when we determine where the Corruptor's home base is can we make targeted responses."
Zhao Xun's attitude is very firm, and his mentor Qinglian Taoist Master Wu Quanyi generally agrees with this.
"Okay, you can lead the way."
But it was said that Zhao Xun led his mentor Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi to the bamboo building where the mountain chief was.
The mountain chief was drinking tea at the moment, and the skeleton was not far away.
Zhao Xun felt that this scene was a bit strange, but since the mountain chief had always behaved calmly and without any panic, Zhao Xun could not say anything more. Otherwise, it would look like he was making a fuss.
"Well, next we need to ask my mentor to use the Grand Observation Technique. The sample is here."
The sample in Zhao Xun's mouth is undoubtedly this skeleton.
The skeleton's condition was still intact, but its arms and legs were chopped off, and it was struggling like an insect.
"Well, good disciple, step aside and look at me as your master."
My mentor Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi uttered a word, and then he slowly sat down and gently tapped a little on the skull's head as if to take some samples. Then he stood up and sat cross-legged as if he had fallen into trance.
From beginning to end, Zhao Xun didn't say another word.
Because he knew that at this time his teacher had entered the meditative state of Grand Viewing Mind.
In any case, he can no longer disturb his mentor at this time.
Otherwise, if anything goes wrong, he will not be able to bear it.
All he has to do now is wait quietly
