As soon as Partridge Whistle saw the ascended corpse, his desire to fight to the death was reduced by half. He had explored several ancient tombs and seen countless white-haired and black-haired zombies, even the red-haired and green-haired zombies. However, this was the first time he had seen a white-haired, flat-haired Zongzi. In the geomancy that he practiced, this strange phenomenon of ascension was very significant.
Among the funerary objects of the Pre-Qin and Han Dynasties, this image was not rare. This kind of feathered celestial being with wings was closer to the image of early immortals. At that time, the most ancient Taoism was still in its infancy, and Taoism was still a political and academic ideology. The Yin and Yang necromancers had not yet promoted Laozi as their spiritual leader. The immortals that they admired were this special image.
Zombies that grew white and black-haired were called the White Ferocious and Black Ferocious. However, this kind of ascended corpse could no longer be called "ferocious". It should be called "immortal" — the Earth Spirit.
In the geomancy, the drought demon was the most ferocious of the zombies, followed by the Hui, and then the green, bronze, blue, purple, black, and white hair. The "ferocious" that surpassed the Zongzi and was endowed with the vitality of the dragon's veins and condensed the essence of the earth's qi was called "immortal".
Partridge Whistle saw the Earth Spirit standing in front of him. He knew something was wrong. Although the geomancy said that the Earth Spirit surpassed the "ferocious" of the zombies and was the "auspicious" place to absorb the essence of the earth's qi, the words of the ancients might not be true. This Earth Spirit was too similar to the image of early immortals, which was why it was worshiped as a divine object. The necromancers did not care whether the divine object ate humans or not!
In ancient times, there was no distinction between ferocious and righteous gods. At that time, there were many divine objects that ate humans.
Partridge Whistle immediately picked up the climbing rope on the ground and wrapped it with his right arm. Indiana Jones was also an experienced explorer. Although he did not know about the strange existence of zombies, Indiana, who had fought with the army of the undead in England, knew the weakness of these undead creatures.
Indiana reflexively took out his gun. Halfway through, he realized that the ascended corpse was already pouncing on him. In a hurry, he raised the climbing pick in his hand and swung it.
Just as the climbing pick was about to hit the Levitating Earth Spirit's face, it suddenly raised its hand and firmly grabbed the climbing pick. Its claws, which could only cover an adult's head, grabbed the handle of the climbing pick like five small daggers, leaving five deep marks on the hard walnut wood handle. Obviously, the claws were sharp enough to split gold and stone.
Indiana sucked in a breath of cold air. He had no doubt that as long as the strange corpse lightly scratched his abdomen, it would be able to cut open his stomach.
The Levitating Earth Spirit had a strange ancient face. With a glance from Partridge Whistle, he only felt that its facial features were very three-dimensional, with deep eye sockets and a high nose bridge. It was very different from the people of the era, but it was somewhat similar to the foreign devils. However, this Earth Spirit's face was purple, and it was difficult to tell how it looked when it was alive. Its movements were extremely agile. With a struggle of its arms, it pounced on them. Although the others were worried, they could only shout at the bottom of the cliff. They could only watch as the two fell into a dead end. In front of them was the Earth Spirit, and behind them was the cliff. They had no choice but to stick close to the cliff, unable to react.
Indiana Jones was planning to lure the Earth Spirit to pounce on him, and with the advantage of his agility, he would throw it down the cliff. However, Partridge Whistle could see that the Earth Spirit's skin was so tough that even bullets could not penetrate it. A mere five-meter cliff would not be able to kill it.
However, it was too late to say anything. The Earth Spirit moved like the wind. As soon as it moved, a white shadow pounced on them as fast as lightning. Several dagger-like nails tore through the air, making a ghost-like whistling sound. The claws were aimed at the two's vital parts. If it were not for the fact that both Indiana Jones and Partridge Whistle were not ordinary people and dodged the claws by a hair's breadth, even an iron man would have been torn to pieces!
Partridge Whistle watched as the Earth Spirit's claws pierced through his body and slid past him, leaving three deep claw marks on the hard rock underground. He was horrified. However, at this critical moment, the two had no time to think too much. There was no room to maneuver on the edge of the cliff. When Partridge Whistle saw the pair of green pupils under the protection of the Earth Spirit's sunken eye sockets, he suddenly had an idea. He subconsciously raised the strong flashlight in his hand and shone it at the Earth Spirit's pupils.
The Earth Spirit was stimulated by the strong light. Sure enough, Partridge Whistle's guess was right. This kind of evil thing could not stand the stimulation of strong light. It immediately went berserk. Its long arm brushed past Partridge Whistle's body and hit the ground. Suddenly, rocks exploded. The rocky platform at the edge of the cliff could not withstand the unparalleled force of the Earth Spirit. A piece the size of a small car's head collapsed, causing a scream at the bottom of the cliff.
Feeling the soft rock under his feet, Partridge Whistle hurriedly shrank his body and hid behind the Earth Spirit's body like an agile ape. Indiana took the opportunity to strike the whip tied to his waist. The five-meter-long whip curled around the ankle of the Levitating Earth Spirit.
Partridge Whistle's body leaped up and used the move of the Sparrow Hawk Soaring to the Sky. He put his two feet together and kicked hard at the back of the Earth Spirit's neck. Indiana then pulled the whip back with force. Both of them used all their strength together, but the Earth Spirit's body only shook a little. When the Earth Spirit came back to its senses, its reaction was surprisingly fast. With a sweep of its arms, Partridge Whistle felt a burning pain on his face.
Pulling the whip on his feet again, Indiana Jones felt an infinite force coming toward him. His body involuntarily flew toward the Earth Spirit. Just as he was about to fall into the two iron claws of the Earth Spirit and be torn into two pieces, a gray figure jumped out from the side and intercepted him in mid-air. It was Partridge Whistle who hurriedly came to help.
After being intercepted by Partridge Whistle, Indiana conveniently let go of the whip in his hand, and the two of them fell down the cliff.
When Indiana Jones saw the two of them falling down the cliff, he hurriedly used the other pickaxe in his hand to stab the cliff wall. Even though both of his hands were shaking, he held on tightly to the pickaxe and fell from a height of five meters in an instant. Just as the two of them were about to hit the ground, Partridge Whistle immediately tightened the rope on his right arm.
Although the huge impact was cushioned by the pickaxe, it still severely injured Partridge Whistle's right arm. His face turned pale and he let out a muffled groan. Then, he endured the pain of dislocation and let go of the rope in his right hand. He landed lightly on the ground and shouted to Chen Yulou who came up to support him, "Go! Run! "
Although the few people at the bottom of the cliff did not know what Partridge Whistle and Indiana Jones had encountered, they could still hear the general movement. Without saying anything, they followed Partridge Whistle and descended the gentle slope below.
As the saying went, it was easy to go uphill, but difficult to go downhill. Although the drop below was not considered a cliff, it was still a place with rugged rocks and difficult roads. Compared to going uphill slowly, going downhill was much more careful. One wrong step would cause them to lose their footing and fall, and they would end up smashed into pieces on the rocks. However, how could they dare to slow down? There was still an evil creature chasing them from above!
Fortunately, they were the main characters, and they had great luck with them. They descended from a height of forty to fifty meters in an instant. Seeing that the relatively gentle rocky beach was right in front of them, Chen Yulou heard a strong gust of wind behind him. He quickly lowered his head and lay on the ground. There was a whistling sound, and a rock as big as a head exploded into pieces two meters in front of him.
Ignoring the sharp pain from the gravel hitting his face, Chen Yulou ran with all his might. The moment his feet touched the rocky beach, Chen Yulou turned his head slightly and saw a white shadow on the rocky ground dozens of meters high behind him. It let out a strange cry that sounded like a ghost's cry when the mountain wind blew over the sharp rocks.
The few of them maintained the distance between them and sprinted madly on the undulating rocks. After running for some distance, the ghostly cries rang out again, echoing in the cave in the belly of the mountain. This special structure amplified the ear-piercing sound, making people upset. The echoes came from all directions, almost making people lose their sense of direction.
Only Chen Yulou could still distinguish the position of the Levitating Earth Spirit in this situation. He was anxious and thought that it was not good. With the echoes in the belly of the mountain, it was easy for people to mishear the direction of the evil creature. If someone ran in the wrong direction in a hurry, they would walk right into the trap. Moreover, judging from the sound, the Earth Spirit was already very close. If they kept running like this, they would be caught sooner or later.
He immediately shouted, "Who will come with me to distract the monster!"
"Young master, let me do it. You go first! " Kunlun Molle was the first to respond. Without saying anything, he was about to turn back and fight with the Levitating Earth Spirit. Chen Yulou was anxious. Distracting the monster was not to fight with his life. He wanted to let those foreigners be the scapegoat, but he had no intention of sacrificing his own people. Looking back, Molle turned out to be the kind of person who had lost his direction before. He had unknowingly run toward the Earth Spirit, but when he turned back to fight with his life, he turned away from the danger.
