Start building the foundation: What is the Southern Xinjiang Corpse Puppet?

Chapter 161 Demonic Corpse

"Although I didn't hit anyone, there were footprints of monks. Someone has walked here." Luo San said, and walked straight towards a towering tree.

Pointing at a dried bloodstain, he looked strange.

"Monster clan?"

There was a faint smell of blood with a hint of demonic aura. Luo Shan half-knelt and observed carefully for a while, and confirmed that it was demon blood.

Si Qianning also walked over, stared at it for a while, and nodded:

"It is indeed demon blood. It seems that a demon really passed by here not long ago."

"Let's go, continue." Luo San said as he stood up and took out a piece of monster meat from his bag.

He took a bite and then headed southeast again.

The group only walked for one day this time before they noticed two groups of people fighting in the distance.

Si Qianning held the giant axe tightly and turned to look at Luo Shan:

"Fellow Daoist Luo, you should go take a look. Judging from the noise, there are probably quite a few people."

"go!"

In an empty valley far away, hundreds of demons trapped human monks in the valley.

Ling Wanran turned her head and looked at Ying Chan with a serious expression.

"Friend Daoist Ying, what should we do now?" The two of them had found the sarcophagus in the cave before, so she naturally recognized that the coffin was unusual, so she planned to find more monks with Ying Chan to open the coffin together.

Unexpectedly, Ying Chan was lucky enough to meet dozens of her clansmen and some independent cultivators.

I don’t know if it was because they spent too much luck in finding people, so that when the group wanted to go back to the cave, they ran into such a large number of monsters.

What followed was a tough battle, during which their human monks suffered heavy casualties and were forced to this point.

The terrain of the valley here is dangerous, and it would be extremely difficult for them to get out.

Ying Chan did not reply, but pursed her lips as she looked at the huge group of monsters.

Then he took out a thin needle and stabbed it into his left shoulder without blinking.

"Fairy Ying, what are you doing?" Why are you still hurting yourself?

Even if you see that you cannot win, there is no need to commit suicide now.

At the very least, we should have some dignity as human cultivators, and at least we should kill a few demons together.

"Shut up!" The Gu tribe cultivator next to him had a serious expression on his face. He shouted at the casual cultivator and then looked at his own saint girl with concern.

On the stabbed left shoulder, a butterfly with two wings of different colors appeared vividly. Then the bright red liquid solidified little by little, and soon a butterfly with one black wing and one red wing made of blood appeared.

The butterfly flapped its wings slowly and flew straight towards the group of monsters.

Ying Chan looked at the butterfly, her face turned pale, and finally she let out a long breath.

The cultivators of the Gu Clan approached Ying Chan at the same time, all showing worried expressions.

"Saint!"

"I'm fine. The illusion of the poisonous butterfly can only last for a few breaths. You should try your best to escape from this valley later." Ying Chan said.

"What about you?" Ling Wanran frowned as she listened.

"Of course we will take the Saint with us. What are you thinking about?" Some cultivators of the Gu Clan rolled their eyes at Ling Wanran.

Ling Wanran: “…”

These Gu clan monks are really not as cute as the corpse puppet monks.

Luo Shan and others went towards the valley and happened to run into a group of human monks rushing out of the valley.

"There's someone!" The casual cultivator running in the front was shocked and subconsciously clenched his weapon.

The monks, who had just experienced a fierce battle, became alert instantly.

When the Gu clan monks saw that it was the Corpse Puppet monk, their faces looked very ugly, especially when they recognized Luo San.

Now that their Saint Girl is injured, if Luo Shan takes advantage of the situation and sneaks in...

"Fellow Daoist Luo!" Unlike the nervous Gu Clan cultivators, Ling Wanran was extremely happy after seeing Luo Shan and Si Qianning.

If there is one person she can trust in the Land of Absolute Spirits, it is only Fellow Daoist Luo.

After entering the Land of Absolute Spirits, she wanted to look for Luo San, but she couldn't find it. Instead, she met Ying Chan of the Gu Clan.

"Fellow Daoist Ling, so you are here." Luo Shan was surprised.

"Let's leave here first, those monsters will wake up soon." Ying Chan interrupted the two of them, her face pale and she said seriously.

"That's right, let's leave here first. I'll tell you in detail when we get to a safe place." Ling Wanran also reacted.

"Go this way." Luo San pointed to the southeast and motioned Ling Wanran to follow.

Ling Wanran naturally trusted Luo San and followed without saying a word.

The Gu Clan monk next to him hesitated for a while and said:

"Should we follow them, in case there's a trick?"

After all, Luo Shan is from the Corpse Puppet Tribe, and has always had grievances with their Gu Tribe.

"Follow us, it's too late, the monsters will wake up soon." Ying Chan interrupted the man and gave a direct order.

With Ying Chan's words, the Gu tribe cultivators had no choice but to follow.

As for the independent cultivators from Dongyue, seeing that they had safely left the valley, some cultivators who wanted to follow the Gu Clan to gain opportunities followed closely behind, while others who valued preserving their lives quickly left the place.

Along the way, Ling Wanran roughly recounted what happened when she entered the Land of Absolute Spirits. When she mentioned the sarcophagus in the cave, her expression did change slightly.

"Stone coffin?" Si Qianning was listening carefully. When Ling Wanran described the appearance of the stone coffin, he immediately said:

"Another sarcophagus!"

"What? You also encountered the sarcophagus?" Ling Wanran and Ying Chan looked at each other and then looked at Si Qianning.

"I met him." Si Qianning said with a serious expression:

"I'm afraid you don't know, that's the coffin of the demon corpse. Earlier we..."

Si Qianning told the story of Hou Ling.

"I'm afraid there is more than one coffin like this in this place." Luo Shan said, and suddenly asked:

"Based on our current location, in which direction is the coffin you found?"

"This way." Ling Wanran thought for a moment and pointed in a direction.

Luo Shan turned her head and looked, carefully calculating in her mind the location where she found the coffin.

"I'm afraid there are more than just these two stones in this dense forest. Let's look for one." Luo Shan said, paused, and changed direction.

"Go this way."

As she spoke, she walked directly to the front.

"Why do we want to change direction?" Seeing Luo Shan suddenly change direction, the Gu clan cultivator said dissatisfiedly.

Luo Shan didn't reply to her, but looked directly at Ying Chan, who was pale, with a frown on his face.

Ying Chan coughed lightly and said, "Tu Da, don't ask any more questions. Release the insect and leave your scent over there."

"Saintess?" The male Gu cultivator named Tuda was puzzled: "Go quickly, the monsters will catch up soon."

"I understand." Tuda understood Ying Chan's words, and hurriedly controlled several ordinary poisonous insects to go southeast, leaving a lot of breath along the way.

Luo Shan led his men to change direction, and after walking for five days, they were sure it was safe.

"There is a demon corpse nearby!"

Luo Shan looked at his white jade coffin with a strange expression. After he controlled the corpse puppet to take the magic crystal, he put both the puppet and the crystal into the white jade coffin.

As soon as she entered the dense forest, she felt that the magic crystal in the white jade coffin seemed to be moving.
