Chapter 428 The world is like a dream, there are no immortals
Ren Qing could feel his body gradually transforming into a stiff body, and at the same time, strange things were rolling around inside his body, causing twice as much pain.
The Corpse Pill frantically absorbed the Yin Qi nearby, causing strong winds to rise out of thin air in the cave.
Fortunately, the furnace of molten fire is located in a remote location, and the zombies were busy dealing with external crises, so they didn't even notice the strange phenomenon.
Ren Qing tried his best to slow down the absorption of Yin Qi, allowing his body to adapt.
What's more, if it attracts the attention of Yangshen Realm zombies, it may lead to a protracted battle between the ghost and the other party.
However, as a result, Ren Qing's promotion speed will be extremely slow.
The Yin energy in the corpse city fluctuated slightly, and the zombies' attention was indeed not focused on Ren Qing, but on the outside world.
The corpse crab devoured several hills of bones, but it still kept stuffing bones into its mouth, as if its appetite would never stop.
What frightens Tian Fang and other zombies the most is that the zombie crab's range of action is diagonally above the zombie city.
It seemed to be conscious. After digesting a large amount of bones and corpses, it began to dig towards the ground again, aiming directly at the corpse city.
The zombies can hear the noise above them getting louder and louder, and bits of bones falling.
If things go on like this, even if the corpse city is not dug out by corpse crabs, it will be completely buried by the collapsed underground cave and plunge into boundless darkness.
Although zombies do not need food, it does not mean that they can survive forever.
The soil in the Dead Zone is mixed with strong Yin Qi. If the zombies are not protected by a coffin, they will soon be corroded by the Yin Qi.
The chaos in Corpse City also arose as a result.
The zombies began to snatch the newly refined coffins, and even fought over it. For a while, the whole city was full of fighting.
Tian Fang had no choice but to seek help from the Immortal Dream.
The Ci people were willing to help, but Tang Sheng, who had the highest level of cultivation, was only at the level of a ghost envoy and was really incompetent.
Most of the other monks have weak and cold natures.
Unless Tian Fang knows how to be flexible and let them provide materials in a mutually beneficial way.
Otherwise, if the corpse city is destroyed, what does it have to do with me?
Lu Liang took the blood crystals earned during this period and rushed into the Dream Art Tower, trying to find a way to survive by relying on the soul.
The chaos in Corpse City naturally attracted the attention of the Jailer Hall.
However, even if most of the monks knew that Ren Qing was also in Corpse City, they did not cause any disturbance. This was due to their confidence in Ren Qing's strength.
In their opinion, even if the zombies in Zombie City were destroyed, they would not be able to damage Ren Qing's fur.
Only Li Tiangang paid more attention to the direction of the Corpse City, and secretly signaled Xiao San'er to help Tian Fang refine the coffin artifact.
Xiao San'er doesn't have any objections to this. Anyway, the current giant corpse Buddha only needs daily maintenance and does not require too much energy.
He simply issued a mission in Mengcheng and gathered thousands of coffins and magic weapons in half a day.
When Xiao San'er handed the coffin to Tian Fang, he discovered that most of the zombies were proficient in weapon refining, and hundreds of years had given them a foundation of proficiency.
Xiao San'er knew that this was an opportunity. If zombies could successfully join the Prison Hall in the future, a large number of weapon refiners might be created.
So in addition to the coffin, he also specially sent several large magical objects for protection.
Tian Fang felt extremely grateful. He was obviously a thousand years older than Xiao San'er, but he still called him "Senior Zhou".
It actually made the mistress a little embarrassed.
Tian Fang hurriedly left Mengcheng, then asked Xiao San'er about his specific residence, and then hurriedly returned to Corpse City with the coffin.
The number of coffins was enough to contain every zombie, barely stopping the chaos.
And it also pushed Tian Fang's reputation to a peak that even some old zombies could not match.
Lu Liang did not hesitate and immediately chose to support Tian Fang. Even though he wanted to fight against him in his heart, when life and death were at stake, he had to take into account the overall situation of Corpse City.
They began to arrange protective instruments, and the dilapidated city walls also needed to be repaired.
In order to prevent the corpse city from falling apart, Tian Fang specially raised the banner of the corpse immortal and constantly emphasized that there would be immortals to guide them to ascend.
When people are in crisis, it is very easy to have faith, not to mention that Tian Fang and Lu Liang have indeed seen Ren Qing's existence.
In just three days, they completed the repairs that had not been completed for decades.
Of course, it mainly depends on purchasing resources from Mengcheng. Otherwise, just collecting the materials for making bricks will take a lot of energy.
The noise coming from above became louder and louder, and cracks were already spread all over the rock wall.
Bone residue fell like raindrops, covering the entire city with a thick layer of dust.
The zombies dug a deep pit in the graveyard in the center of the corpse city. Coffins were neatly placed under the ground, and then some zombies got into it.
The coffin has the function of astringing breath, and the zombies actively fall into dormancy, so it must be difficult for the corpse crabs to detect any abnormalities.
As long as the zombie crab leaves, the zombie will climb out of the coffin.
As the zombies were imprisoned one after another, the coffins were piled up, and soon there were tens of thousands of zombies hiding in them, and there were not many zombies left.
Tian Fang turned to look at Lu Liang and said, "You go in first, I will be the last..."
"But……"
Lu Liang frowned and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Tian Fang: "Someone must be responsible for burying the soil."
The zombies looked at Tian Fang with complicated eyes and were silent for a while.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Tian Fang quickly urged: "As soon as possible, there is not much time. When the corpse beast comes, I will go outside the city to lure it away."
"Old Tian, take care of yourself."
Lu Liang let out a long sigh and then lay down in the coffin.
The remaining zombies then said goodbye to Tian Fang. They had already sacrificed their lives by choosing the last batch of coffins. After all, if the cave collapsed, the coffins on the surface would definitely be more dangerous.
When only Tian Fang was left in the corpse city, he couldn't help but show bitterness on his face.
After finally coming into contact with the cultivation method that leads directly to the great road, but having to die, how could Tian Fang be willing to do so in his heart.
But Tian Fang didn't regret it, and it was just right for him to lure away the zombie crabs.
If Pseudo-Zombie has no intelligence, it will inevitably be self-defeating. As for Bai-Zombie, he might be lucky and lead to sudden changes.
Tian Fang placed the magical artifact given by Xiao San'er next to the coffin, and then buried the coffin several meters with the rock and soil exchanged from Dameng Pavilion.
Rock soil is a material that can help to contain breath.
Although it is not very good among the same type of materials, it is the most cost-effective, otherwise zombies would simply not be able to afford it.
After Tian Fang finished handling the coffin, he was about to go outside the city to wait for the zombie crabs to arrive, but he suddenly realized something and his expression became extremely upset.
Because there were too many things going on in Corpse City, he had not been back to the Fire Furnace for a long time.
Unknowingly, Tian Fang couldn't help but give himself a slap in the face, forgetting that there was still Bai Zhan with no intelligence who had not been banned.
He started towards the furnace of molten fire, but the ground suddenly shook.
Large pieces of bones began to fall from the top of the head, making holes in the walls of the corpse city, and the rock wall was about to be completely broken.
Tianfang now has two more choices.
Either go to the Fire Furnace or go outside the city.
But what made him most helpless was that it seemed that no matter where he went, it was already too late, and the corpse crab's breath was gradually approaching.
Only a loud noise was heard.
A huge hole was dug into the rock wall, and the corpse crab poked its head inside. The rich corpse aura filled every inch of the cave.
Under Tian Fang's dumbfounded gaze, the giant pincers grabbed the corpse city without hesitation. The target was obviously here.
Tian Fang didn't know what attracted the zombie crabs. He tried to inspire Yin Qi to resist, but was unable to move under the terrifying aura.
The giant claws hit the city wall hard. Even if the city wall was reinforced, it could not withstand the zombie crab's blow and was immediately reduced to ruins.
Tian Fei watched the zombie crabs wantonly destroying the corpse city, but he didn't pay attention to himself at all, which showed that this behavior was not to satisfy his appetite.
He stumbled and hid in the passage leading to the furnace of molten fire, leaning against the wall weakly.
If the corpse crab doesn't stop, it will probably cause the coffin underground to break. In this way, Tian Fei will become a survivor.
At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of his heart beating.
The coldness in the city was immediately driven away.
It seems that something is about to break through the ground, and its location is at the west city gate, causing the entire corpse city to shake uncontrollably.
After a while, a lizard head of more than ten meters emerged from the ground, followed closely by its limbs and tail.
The scales all over the lizard's body are covered with injuries, some of which are from attacks by corpse crabs, and most of the rest are traces of decay.
Human facial features can be seen in the head, but the expression appears extremely distorted.
Tian Fei was a little unbelievable. Who would have thought that the corpse city is located on the back of the giant beast? Maybe the corpse crab's target is the corpse lizard?
But when the corpse lizard exuded a familiar corpse aura, he immediately reacted.
"Corpse refining method?"
Or is it a corpse refining method that has not been perfected by immortals? Why did this giant beast master it?
The corpse lizard crawled flexibly on the surface of the rock wall, taking advantage of the gap between the swings of the giant pincers to break through the shackles of the cave and come to the outside world.
Tian Fei was thrown so hard that cracks appeared in many bones throughout his body.
The battle between the corpse lizard and the corpse crab has just begun. The two are not giving in, and they are entangled with each other, causing the ground to collapse continuously.
The corpse lizard has more versatile methods, and it continuously spits corrosive corpse poison from its mouth.
However, the corpse crab's outer armor is so hard that the corpse lizard can only look for opportunities around its opponent.
Only then did Tian Fang notice that the corpse lizard seemed to be muttering to itself, and the content seemed to be about the details of the corpse refining method.
However, it was slightly different from the two versions he knew.
Tian Fang thought of what an immortal once asked him about, mentioning a green zombie who was looking for flaws in the corpse refining method thousands of years ago.
"It's impossible..."
Bang!!!
The giant pincers hit the corpse lizard's back, causing scales to fly and exposed layers of flesh and blood.
Most of the flesh and blood are dark red, but mixed with black and gray meridians, like plant roots spreading underground.
Tian Fang noticed at a glance that the meridians probably came from zombies.
It can be seen from this that the green zombies who were forcibly buried back then did not die, but formed an alternative symbiotic system with the corpse city itself.
This breaks through the limitations of green zombies.
Even though the opponent is not in human form, he still uses the furnace of melting fire to suppress the zombie's flesh and blood from collapsing, and also protects the lives of the other green zombies.
However, facing the stronger corpse crab, the corpse lizard was retreating steadily.
Even if the corpse lizard succeeds in a few sneak attacks, it will only tear into pieces some unimportant tentacles.
It was impossible for the corpse lizard to escape any longer, as its limbs were covered with injuries of varying depths.
The protective magic weapon in the city sounded overwhelmed, and the aftermath alone gave Xiaosan'er's magic weapon signs of imminent damage.
It shouldn't take too long before tens of thousands of zombies will be reduced to minced meat.
Tian Fang can only rely on the immortal in his dreams.
Although he knew that he had no contact with the dream world, and had only a chance encounter with the immortal, he still tried to seize the slim opportunity.
Unfortunately, the corpse lizard was hit by the giant pincers one after another, causing Tian Fang to lose control of his balance.
He hit his head against the wall and his head was bleeding. The bones all over his body had been shattered, and the Yin Qi that had finally been gathered gradually dispersed.
Tian Fang couldn't concentrate and fell asleep, so he tried to absorb the Yin energy to stabilize his injuries, but found that the Yin energy around him had been drained for some reason.
He blocked the vital part with his arm, trying not to let the injury worsen.
Tian Fang was on his deathbed, his bloodshot eyes saw double images of everything, and he staggered to the furnace of melting fire.
He no longer had any desire to live and just wanted to die beside the warm stove.
However, Tian Fang was attracted by a figure covered in black hair not far away, and his brain seemed to be pounded into paste and went blank.
"Mao Zheng..."
He couldn't figure out the situation and stared at Mao stiffly.
The black hair gradually crawled back into Mao Zheng's body, and the face revealed was indeed the zombie that seemed to him to have no intelligence.
Tian Fang opened his mouth wide, and Yin energy poured into his body like substance.
When the black hair was completely submerged into the skin, Ren Qing opened his eyes, and there was no dullness in them anymore, but instead they were extremely deep.
"Tian Fang, long time no see."
Tian Fang was stunned for a few seconds, and then he recognized Ren Qing's identity from the voice.
"Immortal... Immortal Lord?!!"
Who would have thought that the mindless zombie doing menial work next to the molten fire furnace was actually the immortal who taught the magic in his dream.
Ren Qing injected a sense of death into Tian Fang's body, and his injuries healed in the blink of an eye.
He then used the worldly dream that was already an immortal, but the target was used on himself, causing countless diseases to spread all over his flesh and blood.
At the same time, the nightmare effect was exerted on him.
As Tian Fang watched, Ren Qing turned into a black smoke and dust, and then solidified again in an instant.
He is wearing a black gauze robe, and his body is translucent, with light and shadow distorted, and all kinds of colorful diseases in his body can be seen.
Ren Qing stepped forward, passed through the underground cave and reached a thousand meters above the ground.
The corpse crab subconsciously raised its head, and the dark cloudy sky had turned into a brilliant galaxy.
Immediately afterwards, colorful meteors fell, which were transformed by Ren Qing's mushroom soul, and soon fell within ten miles.
The world of immortals is like a dream, and diseases and dreams are inseparable.
In a short period of time, the nearby distorted light and shadow, fungi growing wantonly, and dreamlike smoke and dust... shrouded it.
"It's getting dark."
The ability to block out the sky and the sun is used, the light disappears, and the dream that emerges becomes even more bizarre.
Fungi have already penetrated into the wound torn apart by the zombie lizard, causing irreversible distortion of the body.
It wanted to find traces of Ren Qing, but the corpse crab didn't even have a soul, so how could it possibly find the nightmare that had merged into the dream.
The corpse crab watched helplessly as the colorful diseased trees grew in the deformed flesh and blood, and the remaining consciousness was dragged into the nightmare to be eaten.
