In addition to the mysterious and strange big tree, everyone also saw the Corpse King.
He was hanging on the seventh floor of the big tree. Because he had swallowed too many corpses and flesh and blood, he looked extremely bloated, like a huge hornet's nest of human flesh, and like an ugly sarcoma parasitic on the big tree.
.
The heavy body even bent the branches on the seventh floor of the mysterious tree.
At this moment, the ghostly faces and tree patterns on the mysterious big tree are constantly spitting out corpse aura and evil spirit.
All these evil energies were sucked into the body of the bloated and huge Corpse King. In addition to increasing his strength, it also made him even more crazy and bloodthirsty.
Although the original Zombie King became a zombie and his brain became rigid and became a little hard to use, he still retained some memories and wisdom from his life.
But now the Corpse King has merged with the mysterious tree and absorbed a large amount of evil energy. His self-awareness has been completely suppressed, and his brain has become completely inoperable.
Although he now possesses more powerful power, he is driven purely by instinct and hatred, like the lowest level of the walking dead.
In comparison, Xu Fangjun, who was swallowed by the Corpse King and integrated into his body, was in a slightly better situation.
Although he became part of the Corpse King, he still retained his self-awareness.
However, under the influence of corpse qi and evil spirit, he also became crazy and confused.
Seeing Qin Shaoyou and the others escaping underground, Xu Fangjun's green eyes almost burst out with fire.
He opened his mouth wide, spitting out corpse aura and evil spirit, while screaming hysterically:
"We can't let them run away, catch up, catch up! What fresh flesh and blood that is, what a nutritious body... It's perfect for watering the sacred tree! The better the sacred tree grows, the better we can get from it.
After absorbing the power from the sacred tree, you don’t have to worry about being devoured by it, and you can live forever with it..."
At this moment, Xu Fangjun has become a part of the corpse king's body, and the corpse king has lost his self-awareness, so his consciousness directly affects the corpse king's behavior.
Immediately, the rotten or broken human heads on the corpse king all opened their mouths.
Lines of corpse energy were like poisonous snakes, spurting out from their mouths, drilling into the ground, and chasing Qin Shaoyou and others who were fleeing from the earth.
And that mysterious big tree didn't seem to want the 'fertilizer' that came to the door to escape. Its branches began to sway crazily, making the leaves hanging on it make noises.
What these leaves make is not a "whistle" sound, but a creepy and disturbing howl of ghosts and wolves!
If you look closely, there is a hideous and painful grimace on every leaf.
They are people eaten by the mysterious tree as fertilizer.
After these people died, their souls were imprisoned by the mysterious tree and could not go to the underworld.
Gradually, they became part of the mysterious tree.
After the ghost faces on the leaves howled, more corpse energy and evil spirits were injected into the body of the Corpse King, making the corpse energy chasing Qin Shaoyou and others stronger, more fierce, and more poisonous.
!
Wherever it passed, even the earth and rocks were corroded and poisoned, turning into large areas of poisonous pools and poisonous swamps.
In an instant, the ground was filled with corpses and poison.
Although Qin Shaoyou and the others have not been overtaken by the corpse energy, the corpse poison has been transmitted through the earth and rocks, so they have to mobilize their blood energy and spiritual power to resist, so as not to be invaded by the corpse poison.
Seeing that the corpse poison was getting thicker and thicker, and the pursuing corpse aura was getting closer and closer, Ye Zhiqiu and Cui Yougui cast spells together and sent a message to Qin Shaoyou to suggest:
"General Qin, the Corpse Qi is about to catch up with him. It's not good to fight him while he's escaping. It's better to end his escape, return to the ground, and fight before leaving."
Qin Shaoyou sensed the corpse energy behind him, calculated the speed and possible arrival location of the reinforcements, and made a decisive decision. He took the lead in escaping from the underground with a few night watchmen.
Ye Zhiqiu and Cui Youyou hurriedly sent messages and others followed and escaped underground one after another.
As soon as he reached the ground, Qin Shaoyou immediately ordered:
"We are not leaving. We will form a defensive formation here and wait for reinforcements. They should arrive soon! Miracle doctor, take out all the medicine you have to prevent corpse poison and give it to everyone. No matter how effective it is,
It’s better than nothing!”
"yes!"
Without any hesitation, everyone quickly formed a formation and prepared to fight the incoming corpse energy.
Shan Daonian, along with the medical soldiers he taught, not only handed the medicines for prevention and detoxification of corpse poisons into the hands of every night watchman, but also sprinkled a lot of them on the ground.
Qin Shaoyou also took out a supernatural item called 'Painting the Ground as a Prison' and opened its seal.
This is a supernatural item owned by the Yaosi of Mianyuan County. It is shaped like a paintbrush.
When it was unsealed, it immediately flew out from Qin Shaoyou's hand and drew a circle on the ground around everyone. After it was finished, it landed in the center of the circle.
This circle can ward off evil spirits and provide certain protection to those within the circle.
But drawing the ground as a prison also has a side effect, that is, all attacks launched by the protected people in the circle can only take effect at a very short distance around the circle.
Once the offensive of the people in the circle leaves the circle too far, health, spells, etc. will be greatly reduced, making the offensive unsustainable.
Although this supernatural item is not suitable for offense, it is perfect for strengthening defense at this moment.
Soon, the corpse poison spread first.
Under the protection of the medicine thrown by Shan Daonian, the spells released by Cui Yougui and Ye Zhiqiu, and the protection of the prison, the corpse poison was temporarily blocked by the group and prevented from spreading in and infecting everyone.
But everyone did not relax.
Because the corpse energy, which was shaped like a poisonous dragon and an evil dragon, had already swept over.
Some of them emerged from the ground and attacked Qin Shaoyou and others from all directions.
Some of them burrowed directly under everyone's feet, trying to break out of the ground and catch everyone off guard.
Hua Di Weilao made a great contribution at this moment, blocking the corpse energy that tried to come out from under everyone's feet.
Everyone did not sit idly by and launched attacks on the corpse qi, reducing the pressure on the prison and delaying its defeat by the corpse qi.
In the distance, the Corpse King hanging on the mysterious big tree saw that Qin Shaoyou and others had blocked the corpse energy and corpse poison. He couldn't help but became furious. He was about to swallow the corpse that had been fused to him, and then released it.
These corpses bared their teeth and claws, and rushed at Qin Shaoyou and others at extremely fast speeds. The corpses were still filled with corpse aura, which was extremely vicious.
At the same time, this ugly and huge corpse king also jumped down from the sacred tree.
After his heavy body landed on the ground, it shook the entire underground cave and caused countless stalactites to break and fall from the top of the cave, like a rain of stones.
Immediately afterwards, the Corpse King dragged his body, which was like a giant sarcoma, towards Qin Shaoyou and others.
The Corpse King does not take steps very frequently, but every step he takes can cover a considerable distance.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this.
They originally thought that since the Corpse King had merged with the mysterious tree, there would be no way to get down from the tree, and they could only rely on corpse energy, corpse poison, and driving corpses to hunt them down.
I never expected that this corpse king could actually leave the mysterious tree!
Perhaps the Corpse King cannot stay too far away from the mysterious tree, but there should be no problem in catching up with them.
Seeing the huge, bloated, ugly and terrifying corpse king approaching them step by step, everyone felt a strong sense of oppression in their hearts.
And the zombie aura, corpse poison, and zombie attack that had already rushed in front of everyone became more and more fierce.
In contrast, the night watchmen were exhausted in blood and physical strength after repeated fierce battles.
And the defensive aperture formed by drawing the ground as a prison began to teeter on the edge after suffering successive waves of attacks, and it was possible to collapse at any time.
However, at this moment, Qin Shaoyou, through [Listening], heard a sound coming from the secret passage between the cave and the Dragon King Temple.
This is the sound of reinforcements approaching.
After Qin Shaoyou destroyed an incoming zombie aura, he loudly encouraged his morale: "Keep on holding on, reinforcements will be here soon!"
Before he could finish his words, several voices, some serious, some solemn, some kind, some some furious, were transmitted into the underground cave at the same time, ringing in everyone's ears:
"Demons cannot defeat virtue, and evil cannot conquer righteousness!"
"Amitabha, put down the butcher knife!"
"The universe is infinite, wind and thunder are ordered; dragons fight in the wild, and everything in the ten directions is destroyed!"
