"Serves them right!"
Feng Leizi spat and cursed in his mind. He didn't sympathize with the explorers at all.
The Seven Brothers of Gourd Mountain really had some tricks up their sleeves. Hu Yishan, Hu Ershan, and Hu Sanshan had been injured by the backfire earlier, but they were still stronger than warriors of the same level. Several skulls flew out of Hu Yishan's ghost gourd. They screamed and spun, forming a protective wall.
"Go to hell, you damned evil cultivators."
"Damned Seven Brothers of Gourd Mountain, you almost killed me."
The explorers surrounded them and launched attacks, but they were blocked by the skulls and couldn't succeed.
"You think you can hurt my big brother?"
Hu Ershan covered his chest with one hand, enduring the pain, and used the ghost gourd with the other. The grayish-white ribs shot toward the crowd like flying daggers. Such a large-scale attack was really fierce. Some explorers who didn't have a high enough Cultivation level were hit. The explorers who were good at martial arts used their weapons to block the attacks of the white bones.
"Hahaha, we can take down the Winter Thunder even without the help of the Phantom King."
Hu Sanshan also summoned his own ghost, and a huge blood net fell down, trying to cover the entire deck.
"Zi zi zi …"
The blood net was very corrosive. White smoke rose when it touched the mast, and it burned people when it touched them. Not only did the explorers suffer, but many of the guards were also injured. The Seven Brothers of Gourd Mountain, from the eldest to the seventh, were each stronger than the last. The first three had already caused a commotion on the Winter Thunder. Could the seven of them really dominate the ship?
"Don't be arrogant!"
The captain of the guards finally attacked. He didn't attack before because he was preparing a big move. He raised a trident high up and shot out a thick electric arc. The electric arc tangled with the blood net like a giant python.
Like a drop of cold water on a stove, the blood net was quickly evaporated by the electric arc. Hu Sanshan suffered another backlash. The ghost gourd in his hand exploded, and he vomited blood and passed out. The first time was when Du Feng blocked the blood net, and he was already injured. This time, the blood net was burned by the guard captain, and the second backlash caused all the blood vessels in his body to rupture.
This was the drawback of evil cultivators. Although they had low requirements for aptitude and could progress quickly, the backlash was fatal. Hu Sanshan relied on his refined blood vessels to kill people. When he suffered the backlash, the first thing that was injured was his own blood vessels.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The guard captain's electric arc was really fierce. Even Du Feng didn't dare to underestimate him. Cultivation at the peak of the ninth level of the Origin Realm, with such combat strength, would be able to participate in Zi Luosheng's tournament at Stony Plain City. After the blood net was burned away, the white skulls exploded one by one. Hu Yishan was so frightened that he wanted to retrieve his ghost gourd.
"Bang …"
But it was too late. Before he could retract the Ghost Gourd, he heard a muffled sound. Just like Hu Sanshan, the Ghost Gourd exploded. He clutched his head in pain and kept rolling on the ground. His ghost gourd was refining someone else's head. Now that he was suffering from the backlash, his head was in so much pain that it felt like it was about to explode.
"Take them all down!"
After the guard captain succeeded, his morale was boosted. The guards swarmed forward and wanted to take down the Gourd Mountain Seven Brothers. At the same time, after the thick electric arc exploded the skulls, it wanted to cripple the greyish white ribs and take care of Hu Sanshan as well.
"Third brother, let me do it."
Right at this moment, Hu Sishan made his move. He opened the lid of the ghost gourd and poured something into his stomach. In just a short moment, his stomach was bloated. It was corpse oil, oil refined from a large amount of corpses. The owner of these corpses had to be born in the Yang year, Yang month, Yang day, Yang hour. There couldn't be any mistakes.
Hu Sishan had his eyes on them since they were born. He waited until they were eighteen years old, when the Yang energy in their bodies was at its peak. On their eighteenth birthday, they would be killed at noon sharp. Then, they would be refined to collect the corpse oil.
If it was a cloudy day with rain, or if the lighting conditions weren't good. Then the eighteen years of waiting would be in vain and the next target would have to be changed. This was because that was the moment when the Yang energy in the world was at its peak. It was also the moment when the Yang energy in the body of the deceased was at its peak. As long as he missed it, the target character would be useless at noon on his eighteenth birthday. There would be no meaning in his existence.
In order to refine the corpse oil, the other six brothers had helped a lot. The seven brothers didn't trust anyone except their own people. Because there were no minions to help, all the tasks were completed by the seven brothers.
After drinking the gourd of corpse oil, Hu Sishan's body size increased dramatically. The clothes on his body burst open, and strange white hair grew out of his skin, hard like thorns. Then, these white hairs turned green. Not only were they very hard, but they also had barbs.
"Zombie, it's a zombie! Burn him!"
Many of the explorers recognized zombies and knew that they were afraid of fire. Therefore, everyone released fire attribute warriors, planning to use the high temperature of the flames to restrain the zombies.
Zombies were divided into many levels according to their color and physical strength.
The beginner level was called white zombie. The corpse was buried in a place with strong Yin energy. This place was usually called a corpse breeding ground. A large amount of Yin energy flowed into the corpse. About a month later, the body began to grow white hair. If it left the corpse breeding ground, or if the Yin energy was cut off, it would become a white zombie. This type of zombie moved slowly and was very difficult to deal with. It was extremely afraid of sunlight and fire. It only dared to move at night and eat centipedes, bumpkins, earthworms and other insects to replenish its blood. When it became stronger, it dared to hunt chickens, ducks, geese and other birds.
The fighting power of this type of white zombie was equivalent to a human warrior in the Body Tempering Realm. Although it was very strong, it was too cumbersome. If a warrior had a weapon, he wouldn't be afraid of it.
After the white zombies became stronger, they were no longer satisfied with the blood of birds. They began to attack cattle, sheep and other livestock at night. But they didn't dare to provoke dogs, especially black dogs. After eating the blood of cattle and sheep, after three years, the white hair on their body was replaced by green hair. They could already travel in the day, but they were still afraid of fire. Their fighting power was stronger than a normal warrior in the Qi realm, but weaker than a warrior in the Condensing Martial Realm. At this time, they were called green haired zombies.
A normal warrior, without a lot of resources, might need more than ten or twenty years to reach the Qi realm. It only took three years to raise a green haired zombie. Therefore, many evil cultivators liked to raise zombies to fight for them. It was the same reason why warriors raised spiritual pets.
