The runes on the Expelling Yang Mirror in midair suddenly lit up, and the light reflected from the mirror turned from white to red in an instant. It became even more scorching as it shone on the vampire bats that were pouncing over.
As the red light swept past, a large number of Ghost Bats immediately let out heart-wrenching screams. Instantly, scorch marks appeared on their fur. White smoke rose from the wounds, and a foul stench was emitted.
The ghost bats that rushed out of the cave were blocked by the white light. They immediately split up, bypassed the white light area, and continued to attack the people.
At this time, Bai Jiangfeng and the others also made their moves. They either threw out Fire Charms or activated their magic weapons, turning into blazing flames and dazzling lights of various colors, attacking the vampire bats.
Shen Luo stared at the ghost bats above, but he heard a burst of "Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi" sounds, so he quickly looked away.
As a result, palm-sized black beetles crawled out of the cave wall like a black tide, rushing toward the people of the Bai family.
Those beetles had black hard shells on their backs, dense spikes on the surface, and a pair of sharp beaks like scorpion claws on their heads. Their bodies were surrounded by an extremely dense green Corpse Qi, which seemed to contain a strong corpse poison.
"This place has given birth to corpse puppets! It seems that this cave must have given birth to red-haired zombies, "Soul-haunting Horse-face said solemnly when he saw the situation.
Hearing this, Shen Luo realized that the densely packed little things were actually the "corpse puppets" mentioned in the ancient books.
It was said that those things fed on Yin Qi and were often born together with red-haired zombies. They carried corpse poison, and if the people who were bitten by them were not detoxified in time, they would be infected by the corpse poison and die.
Even if some people were lucky enough to survive, they would turn into living zombies under the control of red-haired zombies.
"Be careful of corpse puppets …" At this time, among the people of the Bai family, there was a cry of alarm.
Xie Yuxin, who was dressed in red, untied a red ribbon from his waist. He held one end of it and shook it gently. The red ribbon stretched out like a fire python and surrounded the people, turning into a circle of flames, protecting them in the center.
However, the tide of corpse puppets refused to stop. They continued to besiege the group and charged into the flames endlessly. Even if they were burned to the point of making crackling noises, they did not retreat in the slightest.
In an instant, wisps of green Corpse Qi rose from the flames and soon shrouded the area.
When the corpse puppets on the ground saw that the fire was burning fiercely, they began to gather together and attack the flames. Every time the outer layer of corpse puppets was burned to death, there would always be one or two in the center that would survive the flames and ambush the group.
Fortunately, Bai Xiaotian's Fifth Mistress did not attack the Ghost Bats and Corpse Puppets openly like everyone else. Instead, she stood in the middle and helped everyone find and fill in the gaps, eliminating those who had broken through.
Her expression was solemn, the wrinkles on her face were deep, and the skin on her body was loose. Only her jade-like hands were smooth like a young girl's, and they were enveloped in a layer of hazy white light. Every time she waved her hands, a crystalline and translucent fine needle would shoot out from the tip of her finger, and it would nail the Corpse Puppets and Ghost Bats that intended to launch a surprise attack to death.
On the battlefield, there seemed to be all kinds of chaotic attacks, but in reality, they were all coordinated and orderly.
…
At the same time, in an underground karst cave in the deepest part of the cave, there were crystals that emitted green light all over the walls. The Baleful Yin Qi inside was so dense that it was almost solid.
On the ground in the center of the karst cave, there was a black pool that was a few feet in radius. The water inside was dark and thick, and it looked like kerosene. It emitted an indescribably strange smell.
On the surface of the kerosene like viscous water, one or two round bubbles would appear from time to time. When they burst, wisps of black Qi would slowly emerge from within.
On the ceiling of the cave above the pool, there were four black silk cocoons that were a few feet tall hanging upside down. Three of them had a long and narrow crack from top to bottom, and the insides were already empty.
On the far right, there was only one intact cocoon left. It was unknown what kind of living creature was wrapped in it, but there would be bumps rising on the surface of the cocoon. It seemed that the thing inside was also eager to break out of the cocoon.
At this moment, the liquid surface in the pool below was no longer calm. It began to bubble with a gurgling sound, and two human figures slowly rose from it.
It was not until half of their bodies were exposed that the thick black liquid that stained their bodies slid down, and then their true appearances were revealed.
The one on the left was as white as jade, and there was not a trace of flesh on the surface of its body. It was a white skeleton monster. Its two eye sockets were shining with dark green flames. Its wrists, ankles, and waist were wearing leather armor. On its back, there were two white bone swords that were crossed on the left and right. It looked both weird and a little funny.
Next to it, there was a ferocious mutated zombie covered in scales. There was a layer of short red hair between the gaps of its scales. Its square face was completely devoid of water. Its skin was dry and shriveled, and its eyeballs were bulging out. The white teeth and scarlet gums in its mouth were all exposed, which made people feel cold just by looking at it.
Between the two, there was an imperceptible mass of black Qi that was slowly emerging from the liquid. Inside it, one could vaguely see the shadow of a beast that looked like an aquatic rhinoceros galloping. It was the river beast that had caused chaos in the construction of Ye City.
In the viscous liquid, there were wisps of dark red and black mist constantly flowing out and wrapping around the three bodies. It seemed to be some kind of nourishment for them.
The walls of the karst cave were densely covered with black-armored corpse puppets. There were also vampire bats hanging upside down on the top of the cave. There were so many of them that they were not inferior to those that had already rushed out of the cave.
"Here comes the blood food …" At this moment, a somewhat ethereal voice suddenly sounded.
As soon as this ethereal voice sounded, the two clusters of ghost fire in the white skeleton's eye sockets suddenly jumped and became brighter.
The red-haired zombie flew into the air and landed beside the pool.
"Red Zombie, please fight."
A hoarse and rough voice sounded from the red-haired zombie's throat.
Then, the white skeleton's figure swayed and landed beside it.
Although it could not speak human language, it pulled out the bone swords from its back with both hands and stabbed them into the ground in front of it. Then it knelt down on one knee and directly showed that it also wanted to fight.
The mass of black Qi that was transformed by the river beast also flew out of the pool and jumped up and down in the void, as if it was unwilling to be left behind.
"Water Fiend, stay … Red Zombie, White Cry, you two go together … Don't leave anyone behind." The ethereal voice sounded again.
The red-haired zombie and the white skeleton immediately got up and left with the order. Only the river beast flew back to the pool obediently.
The red-haired zombie leaped and arrived at the entrance of the cave. The tens of thousands of corpse puppets immediately gathered at its feet, forming a black river that pushed it out of the cave.
