72 The power of living corpses, copper skin and iron bones
The sky is getting dark.
In the Chen Mansion, the lights are brightly lit.
The New Year has just begun, and the house is still full of New Year atmosphere.
Full of wine and food.
The opera troupe sang opera on the stage, and everyone in the audience listened with gusto.
Xu Qinyi, Ren Qingfeng and others also came, and Xu Yuxiang was also there. It was Xu Qinyi who called here specially.
She sat next to Lin Zheyu, looking towards the stage, but all her thoughts were on the person next to her.
"From this perspective, Mr. Lin is indeed a talented person!"
Xu Yuxiang's face turned red, and she secretly looked at Lin Zheyu from the corner of her eye.
She suddenly felt a little regretful. If she had known that she would have acted more gentle and virtuous back then, Mr. Lin would not pay attention to her now.
Lin Zheyu sniffed the fragrance of the woman next to him, without any thoughts in his mind.
He sat back leisurely on the chair, listening to the opera on the stage, relaxing physically and mentally.
After the performance, during the break, Chen Mu walked up to Lin Zheyu and said, "Brother Lin, I lost the last time we competed. I have gained something in the past few days. How about we fight again?"
"What you want!"
Lin Zheyu said with a smile.
The main purpose of his coming here is to discuss with Chen Mu.
Although Chen Mu's momentum is not strong enough, it can still give him an analogy.
After fighting fierce beasts these past few days, Lin Zheyu has gained new insights and is planning to ask Chen Mu to compare and verify.
"Let's go to another courtyard. We can't do anything here." Chen Mu said.
The two stood up, left the auditorium, and walked towards the Chen Mansion.
Seeing this, Xu Qinyi and others also stood up and followed. The fight between these two people was very interesting and worth watching.
"Go and see if you want. Aren't you always very direct?" Ren Qingying said to Xu Yuxiang with a smile.
"Who wants to see it? I don't want to go. What's the point of fighting?"
Xu Yuxiang withdrew her gaze, looked at the stage, and said duplicitously.
"Yes, you don't want to see it, but I want to see it, okay? I'll go over with my sister and have a look. I don't know who will win this time between Mr. Lin and Chen Mu." Ren Qingying said with a smile.
"Lin...well, it must be my cousin who wins!" Xu Yuxiang said.
Under the moonlight, her face was a little rosy, whether it was due to the firelight or some other reason.
Come to the other courtyard and light the oil lamps around to illuminate the courtyard.
"Guess who will win this time." Ren Qingfeng said with a smile.
Xu Qinyi said: "It must be Brother Lin. Is there any doubt?"
"This is not necessarily true. After Chen Mu came back last time, he practiced martial arts like crazy, and he has improved a lot recently. He has such a terrifying aura that I can't help but feel afraid when I stand in front of him." p>
Chen Xihong said.
He saw Chen Mu competing with others at the martial arts arena yesterday. The aura exuded from him made him unable to help but feel fear in his heart even as he watched.
"So strong?" Ren Qingfeng was surprised.
"You will know after reading it." Chen Xihong said mysteriously.
They looked towards the center of the courtyard together, and the two of them had already stood up and took a stance.
"Please enlighten me!" Chen Mu said.
As soon as he finished speaking, an astonishing aura rose up from his body. The aura was almost twice as strong as before!
"Okay!"
Lin Zheyu's eyes lit up.
This is really an unexpected surprise. The stronger the other party's power, the more he can gain insights from it.
Putting on the Barbarian Bull Fist stance, the invisible fist power lingered on the body, resisting the pressure from Chen Mu's momentum.
The two started an invisible confrontation, and Chen Mu had a look on his face that I knew.
He guessed last time that Lin Zheyu also realized the potential, but he was just not strong enough to force it out.
The two stood opposite each other, and a huge and terrifying sense of danger spread unbridled.
Ren Qingying and Xu Yuxiang had never practiced martial arts. Faced with this invisible force, they suddenly had the illusion that the two people opposite could easily take away their lives at any time.
"Back!"
Ren Qingfeng and Xu Qinyi pulled the two pale people back a step.
Several people looked at each other, their faces full of disbelief.
"Brother Lin is really a monster!"
"The last time we had a discussion, I guessed that he had realized the power, but I didn't expect that his power was not inferior to that of cousin Chen Mu!" Chen Xihong took a deep breath and said with some bitterness.
The same was true for Xu Qinyi and others, with complicated expressions on their faces.
The three of them come from direct lineages and have superior family backgrounds. In their respective families, they can be regarded as outstanding talents.
However, facing the two people in front of them, they felt ashamed.
"Brother Xu, after a while, let's join the army and train, or we can form a team and go out to hunt bandits."
"If we continue like this, we're afraid we will be far behind soon." Chen Xihong suggested.
"That's exactly what I meant."
Xu Qinyi nodded.
"Including me, these two are really perverts. If we don't work hard, in a few months, we won't be able to call them brothers." Ren Qingfeng muttered.
"Drink!"
Chen Mu shouted loudly, and a bloody and killing force swept across.
Like the most ferocious beast, he pounced on Lin Zheyu.
Lin Zheyu's muscles bulged all over his body and he stood still. The punches on his body were lingering. Facing Chen Mu's attack, Lin Zheyu kept punching out with both fists.
Bang bang bang.
The dull sound of collision echoed in the yard, attracting many children of the Chen family to watch.
They were frightened by the powerful momentum generated when the two men fought, and they retreated to a distance, not daring to get too close.
The Mad War Technique has no specific attack method. His whole body is full of weapons, and whatever can kill the enemy is his attack method.
Chen Mu's attack was crazy and ruthless. Facing Lin Zheyu, he did not hold back at all and went all out. His momentum reached its peak and steadily improved.
However, Lin Zheyu was unmoved. He did not use the Jin Yan Kung and relied on the Barbarian Ox Fist to fight the enemy throughout the whole process.
During the fist collision, the momentum of the two people was tit for tat.
Feeling the gazes of the people around him and the fear in their eyes, Lin Zheyu had an inexplicable realization.
‘I am very strong!’
‘I am invincible!’
Lin Zheyu murmured, his aura solidifying a little more.
The strong wind roared, and combined with the breathing method of the Barbarian Bull Fist, the breath was exhaled, faintly like the roar of a barbarian bull.
Chen Mu used war to build up his strength, and the more he fought, the stronger he became.
However, Lin Zheyu was also fighting, and his momentum continued to increase, and he was steadily overpowering Chen Mu.
Chen Mu's invincible momentum, full of bloody killings and a hint of madness, felt like he was about to be torn apart when faced with Lin Zheyu's more domineering punches.
……
"Okay!"
Seeing Lin Zheyu knocking Chen Mu back with one punch, there were sudden cheers.
Xu Qinyi and others looked at Xu Yuxiang one after another, seeing her cheeks turn red, and they all couldn't help laughing.
At this time, two middle-aged men walked through the corridor.
Behind them were several men with strong auras.
Seeing the bustle in the other courtyard, the two of them took a curious look.
"Are those two little guys both descendants of your Chen family? That's interesting." The man on the left said with a smile.
"That's the guy on the left, and he should be Hong'er's friend on the right. Chen Cai, whose son is the young man fighting Chen Mu?"
The man called the servant and asked curiously.
He is Chen Xihong’s father and Chen Yongnan, the head of the Chen family.
"Sir, that's Young Master Lin. He was recruited into the Feihong Gang by Gang Leader Xu a few months ago. He's also a friend of Young Master Chen." Chen Cai said.
"So that's it. Brother Jingwu's vision is still so good that he discovered a good idea again." Chen Yongnan said with a smile.
"Both of these two are good young talents. They have realized the 'potential' at such a young age. If they are cultivated well, they will have no chance of breaking through to the realm of marrow training."
The man said with a smile.
They stood and watched for a while, then left.
Bang bang bang.
In the yard, the two men fought fiercely, and the sound of fists and feet clashing was endless.
Chen Mu's crazy fighting tactics were born out of the army. They fight fiercely and risk their lives, and every move will kill people.
Lin Zheyu was extremely calm in the face of Chen Mu's attack. He kept throwing out his bull fists, pushing forward with both fists, one punch hitting Chen Mu's abdomen, and the other fist making a feint and swinging out from diagonally below.
Bang.
The fist hit Chen Mu hard on the jaw, a slight click sounded, and Chen Mu was blown away by the huge force.
"If you don't fight, if you don't fight, you can't fight."
Chen Mu bared his teeth and felt a sharp pain in his jaw when he spoke.
Just now, he was affected by murderous aura, which gradually affected his rationality. His eyes turned slightly red, and his attacks became more ruthless.
Just when he was about to fall into madness, he was punched by Lin Zheyu and woke up.
"Concession!"
Lin Zheyu smiled and cupped his hand.
"How did you develop your 'shi'? It's so much stronger than mine. Do you have any skills?" Chen Mu stood up and asked curiously.
He first encountered a bottleneck in practicing the Mad War Technique, and then joined the army. After several years of fighting, he realized the 'potential'.
And Lin Zheyu has only been practicing for a long time, and he has realized such a powerful 'potential'.
Chen Mu was curious if there was any skill involved.
"Well..."
"Practice and practice, and you're so strong. Does this require skills?" Lin Zheyu pondered for a moment and said.
Chen Mu: "..."
Xu Qinyi: "..."
Ren Qingfeng: "..."
Chen Xihong: "..."
When the people who had just gathered around heard this, they fell silent for a while, holding back what they wanted to say.
"Ah haha, today we only talk about romance, not martial arts. Let's go for a walk, let's listen to music and watch a show!" Chen Xihong said with a smile, inviting everyone to listen to music.
……
After the Chen Mansion's banquet, Lin Zheyu set off to Beast Roar Mountain as usual the next day to find those ferocious beasts to fight with.
There are less than three days to go to Baishi Mountain, so there will be plenty of time to rest when we get there.
When I got home, I took out the poison dictionary and studied it when I had time.
After listing the poisons required for the first three stages of the Poison King's Body, Lin Zheyu inquired and found that most of the poisons for the second and later stages of the Poison King's Body cannot be purchased in drug stores.
The black market hasn't opened yet, so I don't know if Songyicheng can gather them all.
And he did a little calculation and found that if he wanted to advance to the third stage of perfection at once, the medicinal materials needed would cost at least tens of thousands of silver taels.
"Forget it, there's no rush to deal with the Poison King Body. Let's improve our strength first. When we become stronger, it will be easier to make money. Then it won't be a problem."
Lin Zheyu had no choice but to put aside the plan to improve the Poison King's body and wait until he had enough money to consider it in the future.
Practicing this thing not only costs money, but also costs lives for ordinary people.
Time flies and three days have passed.
Early morning.
Outside Songyi City.
Lin Zheyu set off for Baishi Mountain with the Feihong Gang, with a total of more than 200 people in the team.
He spent all his savings to buy medicinal materials for the Yixue Zhuanggu Decoction, a total of thirty pairs of medicinal materials, grinded them into powder, and took them away together.
Medicinal materials ground into powder are much smaller in size and are easy to carry.
Baishi Mountain is not far from Lion Valley and some distance from Songyi City.
After driving for a long time, we arrived at Baishi Mountain.
Looking up, nearly half of the mountain is bare and desolate.
Due to years of mining in these places, the vegetation has been severely damaged and smoke and dust are everywhere.
When the cold wind blows, it raises smoke and dust all over the sky.
After entering Baishi Mountain, Lin Zheyu and Jia Yanyong separated.
Now his position has been promoted, which is equivalent to the status of Zang Refining Realm, and he is responsible for an area alone.
"From now on, Mr. Lin Zheyu will be in charge of the area near Baihe River in the south. You guys will follow Mr. Lin and guard that area together. Do you understand?"
Xu Chuanliang said to everyone.
He is the steward here and comes from a branch of the Xu family. He looks to be about forty-five years old and his strength has reached the peak of Zang refining.
"Yes, sir!" everyone responded.
To the south of Baishi Mountain, close to the Baihe area, the terrain is difficult and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Defending here is an easy task.
"Okay, you go on patrol."
Xu Chuanliang waved to everyone, then looked at Lin Zheyu and said: "Lin Zheyu, you stay."
Lin Zheyu stopped and looked at Xu Chuanliang.
"Sir, what do you want from me?" Lin Zheyu asked.
"I can't come to you if I have nothing to do?"
"I heard that you defeated that boy Chen Mu. You are truly a hero. Work hard. In a few years, you will be the backbone of the Feihong Gang."
Xu Chuanliang patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Let's go, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the environment of Baishi Mountain."
"Thank you, sir." Lin Zheyu said.
"Baishishan Mountain is close to the Lion Valley and is targeted by bandits in the Lion Valley. Bandits often attack and harass it."
"But you don't have to worry too much. The south side of Baishi Mountain you are responsible for is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so the danger is not great."
"Your work tasks are not very heavy. If you encounter a powerful bandit attack, you can just lend a hand. There is almost nothing to do on weekdays."
Xu Chuanliang introduced as he walked.
After listening to Xu Chuanliang's introduction, Lin Zheyu knew a little more about Baishi Mountain.
For members of the Feihong Gang, except that there are no entertainment activities here and it is a bit boring, being on duty in Baishi Mountain is not a chore.
On the contrary, because the treatment on duty is better than in the city, some people even took the initiative to apply.
……
Beasts roar in the mountains.
Here ferocious beasts are rampant, ferocious beasts are everywhere.
Roar
Woohoo.
Deep in the forest, roars of beasts could be heard.
Shashasha.
A dozen strong men, carrying crossbows and arrows on their backs and holding long knives, moved forward cautiously, with extremely cautious faces and a trace of fear in their eyes.
"Brother, it was the living corpse found in the forest ahead last time." A man said.
"I told you several times, don't call me brother. Now that I'm a deacon, you have to call me deacon!" the leading man scolded.
These younger brothers have just joined the Jiuyou Sect and are still unable to change their ways.
"Yes, Mr. Deacon."
"Keep going, we must find a living corpse this time!" said the man who called himself the deacon.
The group of people divided into several teams and began to search nearby.
More than half an hour later, a scream came from the distance.
"Ah, help..."
The voice stopped midway through the call.
Then there was a sound of chewing, and the bones were bitten into pieces, making a cracking sound.
"Over there, quickly, shoot the arrow!"
The deacon shouted loudly.
When the several strong men beside him heard this, they shot out crossbow arrows in the direction of the sound.
"People behind, pay attention, prepare to release the war horses and lead the living corpses away!" The deacon continued to give instructions.
Living corpses with copper skin and iron bones are invulnerable, and arrows have no effect at all.
Archery is used to mark living corpses.
The arrow is specially made and has a hollow inside to store special powder.
After being shot, the arrow explodes and powder is sprinkled on the living corpse, marking it so that if it fails this time, it will be easier to find next time.
Ouch——
Ahhh!
An inhuman roar came out.
A figure wearing tattered clothes, with bulging muscles, sunken eyes, and ferocious eyes rushed out of the forest.
He was holding a severed arm in his right hand, biting it from time to time while running, making a clicking sound.
The teeth are very good.
He is the living corpse these people are looking for.
I saw the living corpse jump suddenly, its body leaping high, and like a cannonball, it hit the people who were shooting in the distance.
Bang!
The living corpse was smashed down hard, a dull sound was heard, and soil was splashed everywhere.
He casually grabbed the strong man beside him, threw away the severed arm in his hand, inserted his left hand into the strong man's chest, and pulled out a beating heart.
This cruel and terrifying scene scared the strong men around them and fled in all directions.
"Weird, monster!"
"Ah, help..."
Screams and cries were heard.
The strong man who was the deacon suppressed the fear in his heart and shouted loudly: "Now, release the horses quickly!"
The deacon roared loudly and asked people in the distance to release their war horses to attract the attention of the living corpses.
Living corpses like to eat blood, and the war horses they selected have extremely strong vitality and blood, which can attract the attention of living corpses.
Hissing Rhythm——
The people in the distance reacted from the shock and released the prepared war horses, and four strong horses rushed out of the forest.
When the deacon saw that the task was completed, he turned around and ran away.
His heart was pounding, and his body couldn't help but tremble because of the fear.
But it's too late.
The deacon’s cry just now attracted the attention of the living corpse.
Ouch!
The living corpse let out a roar, discarded the bloody body, jumped hard, and rushed towards the deacon.
In a hurry, the deacon swung the knife in his hand and slashed at the living corpse.
However, the blade seemed to have struck steel, unable to injure him at all. Instead, his jaw was painfully shaken by the huge repulsive force.
The deacon immediately discarded his weapon and ran towards his younger brother in the distance.
Living corpses are very fast, and they will definitely not be able to escape if they run away, but as long as they run faster than their little brother, they have a chance to survive.
Ah!
A shrill scream sounded.
The living corpse moved its feet and came to the deacon's side. He grabbed the deacon's shoulder with both hands and violently tore it into two halves.
Blood and flesh splattered, internal organs flowed all over the floor, and the scene was extremely bloody.
Hissing rhythm~~
The four horses sensed the danger and ran wildly outside the forest.
After killing the deacon, the viciousness of the living corpse was completely aroused, and its eyes were blood red.
He stuck out his purple tongue, licked his lips, and ran towards the four horses.
These four horses are quarter horses that have been carefully selected and are famous for their speed. When running at full strength, their speed is extremely amazing.
Whoosh!
The living corpse moves quickly through the mountains and forests, extremely flexible.
There is almost no trace of human reason in his body. His eyes are scarlet with no pupils. When he blinks, the scarlet disappears and turns directly into purple-black.
It looks extremely deep.
Poof!
Suddenly, he jumped up like a nimble ape and threw himself down on the horse that was lagging behind.
Its nails were extremely sharp, and with a sharp thrust, it penetrated into the horse's belly and pulled out a huge, beating, living heart.
Hissing rhythm.
The horse let out a mournful cry and fell to the ground.
The living corpse suddenly opened its mouth, and the lower jaw seemed to be movable. The mouth opened wider and wider until a living horse heart could be stuffed into it.
Poof——
He chewed a few times, blood flowed from his mouth, and his face showed an expression of enjoyment.
After eating the heart, the living corpse grinned, stared at the horse running in the distance, pursued it again, and rushed out of the Roaring Mountain.
These four horses were trained and ran towards the mountains and forests.
After the living corpse is led outside, there are other hands outside to lead it in a specific direction.
