"Everyone, be careful!" Once they got out of the water, Xiao Heng and Long Yue took out their own weapons. What surprised Ye Chen was that both of their weapons were mid-rank great weapons. Xiao Heng had a blade, while Long Yue had a half-moon saw. Although they had suppressed the aura of the mid-rank great weapons, that light pressure was still frightening. The Fire Man's pupils shrank.
With the increase of cultivation, the importance of the great weapons had increased as well. The low-rank great weapons could only increase the attacking power of warriors below the Astral Reaching Realm by ten to twenty percent. In the hands of Astral Reaching Realm warriors, it would be great if they did not break. However, the mid-rank great weapons were different. They could increase the attacking power of Astral Reaching Realm warriors by more than thirty percent, and forty percent would be the top mid-rank great weapons. Both of them were Mid Astral Reaching Realm warriors themselves. With the mid-rank great weapons, they would be able to compete with peak level Mid Astral Reaching Realm warriors. In other words, Xiao Heng and Long Yue's attacking power would not be weaker than anyone among the eight of them.
"Mid-rank great weapons … These things are hard to come by!"
Ye Chen had been to the trading palace in the Martial City before, so he naturally knew how precious the mid-rank great weapons were. If he was lucky, he might be able to see one or two within a month. If he was unlucky, he might not even see one in a year and a half. Every time one appeared, it would be bought by someone immediately, and no one would complain about the high price. The price of a mid-rank great weapon would be at least fifty times more than a low-rank great weapon. Normal Astral Reaching Realm warriors would not be able to afford it, unless they were powerful Astral Reaching Realm warriors from rank 6 martial institutions.
"However, increasing the attacking power by thirty to forty percent might not necessarily increase the battling power by thirty to forty percent. The battling power is affected by many factors, so it should not be the same."
Letting out a breath, Ye Chen took out the Star Scar Sword from his storage ring and wore it on his left waist. He had bought this sword from the trading palace in the Martial City, and it was definitely one of the top low-rank great weapons. It could increase the attacking power of a Clasping Yuan Realm warrior by twenty percent. Although once he reached the Astral Reaching Realm, the Star Scar Sword would not have that effect anymore, but Ye Chen had a lot of tricks up his sleeves, so he was not lacking in attacking power.
"Let's go!"
The Fire Man looked away, glanced at Ye Chen and said in a low voice.
"Hehe, this time, the Corpse Man is dead for sure." The Mountain Man sneered. The last three words, "dead for sure", were spoken in a very low voice.
Ye Chen's gaze was indifferent, his eyelids slightly drooping.
…
Patter, patter!
Light footsteps sounded one after another in the dark environment.
Spreading out his soul power with his body as the center, Ye Chen realized that this strange underground world was not small at all. With his current soul power, he could only explore a very small part of it. Even after gathering his soul power into a straight line, he still could not find the edge of the underground world.
This underground world was not very humid. On the contrary, it was somewhat dry. If an ordinary person stayed here for a period of time, they would easily suffer from dehydration and other symptoms.
"So many forks?" Pang Nie raised his eyebrows.
Mister Lake waved his fan and said with a smile, "There's no rush. Let me check with my secret skill."
"Oh! Mister Lake has such a powerful secret skill. " Everyone was a bit surprised. Normally, Astral Reaching Realm warriors would use the same method to check their surroundings, which was to spread out their powerful soul power. They had already checked before, and found nothing.
The Lake Man smiled slightly as a watery light spread out from his body. It was extremely thin, and seemed to have connected with the water yuan qi in the air. He did not say a word, as if he was trying to sense something.
"The water yuan qi in all directions is vibrating slightly. It is transmitting!" Ye Chen had mastered a soul power that was even more powerful than his soul power, so he could easily tell what was happening.
After a while, the light on the Lake Man's body disappeared. He pointed towards the east and said, "There is a sound in that direction, five miles away."
"Let's not waste any more time. Let's go."
Under the lead of the Lake Man, everyone's bodies turned into shadows, disappearing into the forks.
There were too many forks in the road. If they followed the forks, they would not know where they would end up. Therefore, they had no choice but to choose between two points, where a straight line was the shortest. They used their power to destroy the forks, creating a straight path.
"It is here."
The Lake Man pushed up his protective zhen yuan and cut open the mud wall in front of him with his fan.
"Save me! Save me!"
The scene in front of them had changed everyone's expression a bit. In the pool filled with pitch black liquid, a man whose face could not be seen clearly was soaking in it. His shoulder blades were hooked by two wrist-thick iron chains, while his hands and feet were fixed in the pool, unable to move at all.
"A Clasping Yuan Realm warrior." Lin Shuihan said slowly.
Xiao Heng said, "If I have guessed it right, the Corpse Man wants to turn him into a rank 6 zombie warrior, turning him into a mindless killing machine."
"Let's save him first."
Just as Long Yue finished talking, the iron chains made a couple of clinking noises. Without exception, they were all cut in half. She turned around and saw Ye Chen put his sword back into its scabbard.
"Move!"
Activating her water-type zhen yuan, Long Yue waved her hand. The pitch black liquid in the pool started to spin intensely, eventually turning into a wriggling water column that shot out into the distance.
Whoa!
The iron chains were broken, and the pool was empty. However, Long Yue had puked out as well.
In the pool, the naked man did not have a single intact body part. His stomach had been cut open, his thigh muscles had been cut open, his calf muscles had been cut open … The flesh and the pitch black liquid had already mixed together to a certain extent, giving off a faint metallic luster.
"So cruel! This Corpse Man has done all kinds of evil things." Xiao Heng frowned.
Lin Shuihan said, "The Corpse Man is not a human being. He is a zombie warrior who has not lost his mind. Therefore, it is understandable that he would be so cruel."
Ye Chen nodded. Back in the Heaven Dream Ancient Region, Ye Chen had heard from Lin Yue that there were two ways to create a zombie warrior. The first way was under special circumstances. After a warrior's death, his zhen qi would not dissipate and would mix with the corpse qi. After a long time, the body would become immortal. However, if a living person came to this place, the rich qi and blood would cause a mutation in the warrior's body, turning it into a zombie warrior who only knew how to kill and eat blood.
The second way was to create a zombie warrior. One of the one hundred and eight ghost warriors of the Nine Evil Cult, the Corpse Man, was a zombie warrior. However, he was different from normal zombies. Because of some special reasons, he had regained his intelligence, which made him even more cunning than human beings. What was even more horrifying was that he, who used to be a zombie warrior, could turn living warriors into zombies. According to him, they were called Elite Zombies. From high to low, they were Iron Shell Zombie, Bronze Shell Zombie, Silver Shell Zombie, Gold Shell Zombie and so on.
According to the Corpse Man's own power, the Iron Shell Zombie would be a rank 4 zombie warrior, the Bronze Shell Zombie would be a rank 5 zombie warrior, the Silver Shell Zombie would be a rank 6 zombie warrior, and the Gold Shell Zombie would be a rank 7 zombie warrior. If it were not for them, the man in front of them would have been turned into a Silver Shell Zombie.
"He is beyond saving. Let's send him on his way." Ye Chen scanned the man in the pool with his soul power, then shook his head. The man's body had already been corroded, and only his mind was left to support his mind. Even if there were great medicines, there would be no way to save him. Instead of living, it would be better to let him leave safely. After thinking for a while, Ye Chen took out his Star Scar Sword seriously and threw out a sword attack.
Pooh!
The man's head was thrown into the air, but there was no blood.
Sneering inside, the Fire Man glanced at Ye Chen in an extremely subtle way. He was thinking about what it would be like if he could turn Ye Chen into a zombie warrior. It would be so fun.
At the same time, the Mountain Man and the Lake Man had their own thoughts.
"Lake Man, please perform your secret skill again and find out where the Corpse Man is." Right then, Lin Shuihan said.
"Alright!" The Lake Man was about to perform his secret skill when he suddenly frowned, "We are surrounded."
"Surrounded!"
Everyone's heart skipped a beat.
Howl! Howl! Howl!
In the dark environment, a couple of black-colored zombies with a faint silver shine rushed over. Their green eyes had lost their human emotions, leaving only cruelty, creepiness, bloodthirstiness, and cruelty. All the evil things in the world could be seen in those eyes.
"It is the Silver Shell Zombie, a rank 6 zombie warrior!"
Long Yue did not have time to think. She waved the half-moon saw in her hand, and a couple of half-moon shaped blade lights flew out, dismembering the incoming Silver Shell Zombie.
Howl! Howl! Howl!
More and more Silver Shell Zombies came over from all directions. With one glance, it was impossible to count them all. There were at least one thousand of them.
"How many Clasping Yuan Realm warriors did this Corpse Man capture?" Right then, even Ye Chen could not help but gasp. Every Silver Shell Zombie used to be a Clasping Yuan Realm warrior, so one thousand Silver Shell Zombies meant one thousand Clasping Yuan Realm warriors. It was unimaginable.
"They are all hopeless! Kill!"
Xiao Heng yelled as he waved his mid rank great blade in the air. A crashing sound was heard, as a horrifying blade light split the water apart, landing heavily on the place where the Silver Shell Zombies were the most concentrated.
Boom!
Dozens of Silver Shell Zombies were cut into pieces by that blade light.
"Snow Full Bow Blade!" Lin Shuihan had also started to show his power. He did not push his seventy percent blade intent, but only waved his snow-white long blade. The blade qi was like a fully drawn arrow, slicing across the air at an extreme speed. Wherever it went, countless dried heads were thrown into the air.
"Mountain Splitting Fist!"
Pang Nie had a powerful aura as he threw out a punch. All of the approaching Silver Shell Zombies were blown away, their metal-like bodies shattered into pieces.
Zhuang Qinghe trained the same martial art as Zhuang Qingxian and Zhuang Fei, which was the Mountain and River Great Art. His movements were extremely powerful, layered on top of each other.
"Cut!"
After cutting dozens of Silver Shell Zombies in half with one sword attack, Ye Chen noticed that although the Fire Man, the Mountain Man and the Lake Man were attacking aggressively, they were not that powerful. He sneered. He would like to see what kind of tricks these three were going to play.
Paying attention to the three at all times, Ye Chen killed the silver shell corpses that were approaching him casually.
"Lake Man, why is brother Ku Mu not here yet? It is getting late." In the midst of the chaotic battle, the Fire Man sent a zhen yuan message to the Lake Man.
The Lake Man replied, "No hurry. Today, half of them have to stay. Ku Mu Mu had lost two Gold Shell Zombies a while ago. We can use them as materials for the Gold Shell Zombies."
"Hehe, that brat would be a good material as well. Too bad that he had not reached the Astral Reaching Realm yet. Otherwise, he would be able to become a Gold Shell Zombie as well."
