In the mountain forest, the cold mountain wind blows.
The young man in black robe found a rock and sat down. All corpses, whether human or beast, gathered around him.
The young man in black robe reached into his arms and took out a dark black bead.
This is a bead the size of a pigeon egg, dark in color, and exuding a rotten smell. This smell is disgusting.
The corpse puppets gathered around the young man in black robes, after seeing this dark black bead, their eyes lit up red.
The four humanoid corpses, including Yang Xu, had expressions of greed and desire on their pale and dull faces.
This dark bead exuding a rotten atmosphere floated in mid-air.
A trace of dark aura, like floating catkins, seeped out from the dark beads, divided into several channels, flew towards the corpse puppets, and was absorbed by the corpse puppets.
If warriors want to practice and maintain combat effectiveness, they need to consume a lot of food. The true power and true energy in their bodies are not obtained out of thin air.
The same is true for these corpse puppets. If they want to maintain the state of 'corpse puppets', they also need to consume some things.
What they need to consume is death energy.
This death energy is actually a type of energy.
If the death energy is not enough, the corpse puppets will become weak. If the death energy is exhausted, these corpse puppets will become real corpses and begin to fester and decay.
The corpse puppets are greedily absorbing the death energy.
The young man in black robe sitting on the rock looked up at the dim sky with a gloomy expression.
His name is Li Wei, and he comes from an evil sect called the Corpse House Sect.
The Corpse House Sect is hidden in a barren mountain and swamp, thousands of miles away from Linwu County.
The reason why he appeared in Linwu County was because he had stolen one of the sect's most precious treasures - the Dead Soul Pearl. In order to avoid being chased by the monks within the sect, he fled all the way here.
The dark black bead floating in mid-air now is the Death Soul Bead!
The Dead Soul Bead allows the refined corpse puppet to retain its soul during life and possess some of its memories and wisdom during life, making the corpse puppet more than just a walking corpse and capable of possessing more powerful combat power.
Not only that, he can also give the corpse puppet the ability to continue to grow and evolve, which is very commendable.
You must know that after ordinary corpse puppets are refined, their strength is fixed and it is difficult to continue to become stronger.
As for why he deliberately stole the ‘Dead Soul Pearl’ and escaped here...
The young man in black robe narrowed his eyes, and there was a deathly aura in his eyes.
His cultivation qualifications are not good, and he is not as good as those geniuses. There are a lot of monks with his qualifications in the sect, and they are not valued by the elders of the sect.
If he continues to practice honestly, with his qualifications, it will be almost impossible to survive the heavenly tribulation and step into the Tao realm!
Only by stealing this 'Dead Soul Bead', and relying on this 'Dead Soul Bead', can he have a chance to step into the Tao realm!
So, he did this.
After careful planning and several years, he finally found an opportunity and stole the 'Dead Soul Pearl'. After that, he spent several years on the run, traveling thousands of miles, and finally arrived in Linwu County.
Monk cultivation also requires resources.
A year ago, Li Wei, a young man in black robe, met Ba Zhen, the old man of Bala, and the two began to cooperate.
Boss Ba kills people for him, helps him accumulate death energy, refines corpse puppets, and strengthens his corpse puppets.
He released crows with blood-eyed crows to find plunder targets for Boss Ba, and helped Boss Ba avoid being hunted by the officials of Dachang Kingdom.
Even though he was very careful, Boss Ba was still caught by the wandering eagle of a government tourist.
At that time, Mr. Ba was being hunted by Chen Yousong, a guerrilla from the county government. If he had not intervened to stop him, Mr. Ba would have been killed by Chen Yousong.
Thinking of the scene during the battle with Chen Yousong, the black-robed young man Li Wei narrowed his eyes, and his pale face became increasingly gloomy.
At that time, he somewhat underestimated the strength of Chen Yousong, a county guerrilla.
He thought that if his corpse puppets were dispatched, they could easily surround and kill this county guerrilla.
As a result, not only could Chen Yousong not be surrounded and killed, but all the powerful corpse puppets under his command were killed by Chen Yousong in that battle.
These are the corpse puppets he has spent countless efforts to accumulate. They are his confidence to face the sect's pursuit. They are his capital to face the catastrophe and step into the Tao realm!
Just say it and it's gone.
At that time, Li Wei, a young man in black robe, was hiding in the mountains and forests, his heart was bleeding.
In that battle, if it wasn't for his nature to hide it deeply enough, he would probably have died under Chen Yousong's sword!
If he had known that the outcome would be like this, he would never have rescued Boss Ba. The loss was really too great.
If Boss Ba dies, he is dead. At worst, he will have to find a bandit leader to cooperate with him all over again.
Yangxi was discovered by chance when a blood-eyed crow he released after the battle passed through Heping Village.
The blood-eyed crow has little fighting power, but its detection ability is extremely strong, even surpassing that of ordinary Taoist monks!
It is precisely because of the existence of the blood-eyed crow that the black-robed young man Li Wei was able to avoid danger time and time again during his escape and survive until now.
When the Blood-Eyed Crow 'reported' the information he sensed to him, he was really jealous and hateful.
Damn it! He is a born spirit, why is it not Li Wei? If it were Li Wei, all the resources in the sect would probably be tilted towards him, so why would he want to steal the Death Soul Orb and get to where he is today?
step?
It's so abominable, how unfair God is!
Fortunately, people who are born with spiritual bodies are not only naturally suitable for practicing Taoism, but also have excellent results when used to refine corpse puppets.
He has the Dead Soul Pearl in his hand, and the corpse puppet he has refined has the attribute of 'growable'!
If he could capture this little girl, torture her so hard that she dies with resentment, and then refine her into a corpse puppet after she dies, this corpse puppet can definitely become a trump card in his hand!
He couldn't wait to turn this girl, who was born with a spiritual body, into a corpse puppet.
However, at this time, all the powerful corpse puppets under his hands had been killed and injured, leaving only a few blood-eyed crows with little fighting ability.
He simply didn't have the ability to enter the village and arrest Yang Xi by force.
Therefore, the task of entering the village to capture Yang Xi fell on Balao Daba Zhen.
Ba Zhen, Ba Zhen, managed to escape from the hands of guerrilla Chen Yousong during the day. He was seriously injured, but he was actually unwilling to be assigned to go to Heping Village to capture Yang Xi.
However, he didn't know that the evil cultivator Li Wei who was cooperating with him had all the powerful corpse puppets killed by Chen Yousong.
He thought those powerful corpse puppets were still there, so he did not dare to go against the will of the evil cultivator Li Wei, so he pinched his nose and headed for Heping Village with his two surviving subordinates.
