The mountain ranges overlapped, the crevices and deep valleys were like scars on the earth, splitting apart many mountain ranges in Pear Blossom Ravine, turning this place into a breeding ground for many poisonous insects and evil demons.
"Oh right, you never told us your name." Nan Yu Suo turned around with a gentle smile, looking at the village girl who was leading the way.
"My surname is Shi, my name is Meirou." The girl's voice was very soft, as if she was afraid others would think that her name was inappropriate. After all, she had not come into contact with the outside world, she did not know if her name would be a joke.
"Shi Meirou, quite a cute name. Who gave you that name?" Nan Yu Suo continued asking.
"Your surname is Shi? Then Shi Hua is your grandmother? "Song Luo said.
"Yes." Shi Meirou nodded.
"Then aren't you living alone in the village?" Song Luo said with some sympathy.
Shi Hua was an old woman who had quite a bit of prestige in Pear Blossom Ravine, but unfortunately, due to some territorial disputes between the villages in Pear Blossom Ravine, this old woman was accidentally injured in the chaos, and died because she could not be treated in time.
Song Luo had heard about this from his uncle, the chief of his clan.
"Has the old woman already passed away?" Nan Yu Suo asked.
"Yes, actually it's quite sad. Granny Shi Hua contributed a lot to our Pear Blossom Ravine. When our villages were on the verge of splitting apart, she was the one who tried her best to mediate, and even sacrificed herself because of this matter. The various village chiefs also blamed themselves for this, and from then on, the people of the various villages did not cause any more trouble about splitting up, "Song Luo continued.
At first, Song Luo did not really believe the words of the young girl, Shi Meirou, but after hearing that she was Shi Hua's granddaughter, his attitude immediately changed.
After all, Granny Shi Hua was also their Pear Blossom Ravine's hero. Without her, Pear Blossom Ravine would have been torn apart long ago, and it would be even more impossible for them to unite like they were now to deal with the Zombie Dragon.
"After passing through this long valley, we will be able to see the crevice, and below the crevice is the underground cavern's black lake," Shi Meirou said.
She did not seem to want to mention her grandmother who had already passed away, as if that was the truth she was most unwilling to accept.
"Junior sister apprentice, it's all thanks to you this time that the various strongholds can finally breathe a sigh of relief from the death of the dragon. You're the same as your grandmother, both of you are heroes of our Pear Blossom Ravine." Song Luo smiled.
"I only … I only did what I could," Shi Meirou said.
…
On the hilltop of the Stone Head Stronghold, Zhu Minglang went around the stronghold wall and arrived at the back of the stronghold.
He saw a graveyard behind the village. He hesitated for a moment before walking towards the graveyard.
Zhu Minglang still had some doubts in his heart. However, there were many things that he couldn't prove. There was only one thing that he couldn't prove, and that was the theory about the drowned nether spirits.
At that time, the village girl had described it in great detail. She had even told him which tree it was buried under.
Zhu Minglang walked to the old pear tree that was hung with white ribbons. He stood in front of the grave of the drowned Yin spirit that Shi Meirou had said had helped him "rest in peace".
There was indeed a grave here, but Zhu Minglang's expression changed when he saw the name on the tombstone.
Shi Hua!
This grave belonged to a woman. Furthermore, many of her deeds were recorded on it. She seemed to be a leader of the Pear Blossom Ravine.
This was completely different from the village girl's description!
She didn't encounter any drowned nether spirits!
Everyone in the Stone Head Stronghold was basically dead. She was the only one who had survived.
At first, Zhu Minglang thought that she had used the smell of the dead to cover up her living scent, and that was how she managed to escape the calamity. Perhaps it was because she was a nether spiritualist that the zombie dragon couldn't smell her scent. However, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
"Perhaps she didn't bewitch the zombie dragon at all. She was the one controlling the dead from the beginning. As a nether spiritualist, she could not only see and communicate with the dead, she could also control the dead!" Zhu Minglang took a deep breath.
The actions of the controlled villagers were exactly the same as when they were alive. It was simply because they were being controlled by someone.
At that time, the girl was hiding in the well because she was controlling the people in the stronghold to speak. However, she couldn't be discovered by Zhu Minglang and the others.
"How vicious!"
Zhu Minglang's gaze turned cold.
He had been deceived. There was something wrong with the girl from the beginning.
The reason why the zombie dragon had displayed such terrifying intelligence was most likely because of this nether spiritualist girl!
She was the true leader of the zombie dragons!
"They are in danger. The nether spiritualist is luring them into the nest!"
Zhu Minglang didn't dare to stay any longer. He immediately left the Stone Head Stronghold.
However, the problem was that Zhu Minglang didn't know where Yu Suo, Xing Hua, and the others went. The Pear Blossom Ravine was very complicated. Without a clear direction, it was impossible to find them in the depths of the mountain.
"What's wrong?" Mr. Koi asked in confusion when he saw Zhu Minglang hastily retreating.
"We were deceived by the nether spiritualist. She is the leader of the zombie dragons. She is the one controlling the dead people in the stronghold. I'm afraid that the nether spiritualist is luring Yu Suo, Xing Hua, and the others into a trap. However, I don't know where they are, "Zhu Minglang said.
"I know, I know. Even if Master is at the edge of the sky or the end of the earth, I will still be able to find Master. Come with me, idiot!" Little Chang 'e jumped out and said to Zhu Minglang.
Zhu Minglang was startled. He looked at the Immortal Rabbit Dragon that ran in front of him with a few leaps.
This made Zhu Minglang suddenly recall something. The person who asked Little Chang 'e to follow him wasn't Yu Suo, but Li Xinghua.
"The prophet's sister-in-law didn't ask the Immortal Rabbit Dragon to follow me because she was worried that I would be injured and needed to be healed. Did Xing Hua already sense it? "Zhu Minglang muttered to himself.
No matter what, he had to find them as soon as possible.
Yu Suo was powerful, but she couldn't last for too long. She couldn't protect everyone in the group.
… …
Following the Immortal Rabbit Dragon, Zhu Minglang traversed the mountains and found that the nether spiritualist girl had led the others to a very deep place.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Zhu Minglang felt.
The only thing worth rejoicing about was that Li Xinghua was vigilant. That way, they wouldn't fall into a desperate situation.
This way, he could buy time to rescue them.
The underground cavern's black lake!
How was that the water source? It was clearly the lair of all the zombie dragons!
Furthermore, it was very likely that it was the other entrance to the valley ruins. Zhu Minglang had searched the ruins for a long time, but he didn't find anything.
Why did she do this?
Why did this terrifying nether spiritualist want to massacre everyone in the stronghold and even destroy the entire Pear Blossom Ravine?
