Lin Jin was satisfied.
The only problem was that Xiao Huo felt disgusted after swallowing the skull. But that was fine too. Xiao Huo's stomach was like a fiery hell. Even if there was any lingering aura of death, it would be completely destroyed in Xiao Huo's stomach.
"Does it taste good?" Lin Jin looked at Xiao Huo who was walking over and asked for some reason.
Xiao Huo obviously wouldn't answer.
After recalling his pet beast, Lin Jin looked around at the mess around him. He took out the water reservoir armor and activated it. Instantly, a strong wave of water vapor rippled out. Vaguely, the vapor condensed as if a large hand was soothing the surroundings. In an instant, the flames and smoke dissipated. Although it wasn't enough to restore vitality immediately, it wouldn't take long before this place was brimming with life again.
Lin Jin then used his Cosmos Ink to quickly return to Xiao Shu Lou's art world.
When he returned, his surroundings had changed drastically.
Below him, it was pitch-black. The zombie's body was emitting a dark aura, corroding Xiao Lou's art world considerably.
Shu Xiao Lou was clearly out of tricks and so was Shang'er.
While Lin Jin was away, the zombie's body had also changed. Perhaps it sensed that its head had been destroyed, a hole opened up on the zombie's stomach. It looked like a mouth.
Also, a pair of bloody eyes opened up on its nipples. Those evil eyeballs darted around in a horrifying manner.
"How could this be?" Lin Jin was taken aback. This zombie's aura was several times stronger than before, completely incomparable to the head from before.
Frankly speaking, even if Xiao Huo were to fight this zombie outside, he probably wouldn't be able to win.
"This zombie's corpse energy has already reached its peak, it has already reached the Immortal Realm, and because the corpse energy is undying, the more you dismember it, the more powerful its remaining body will be. The previous method won't work." Shu Xiao Lou's expression turned even more serious.
Perhaps because of her past, she was wary of zombies like this.
"Then let's let it out and fight it to the death." Lin Jin felt that if the three of them worked together, they could at least put up a fight. Coupled with the fact that his flames were a natural counter to evil creatures like zombies, they stood a chance.
Shu Xiaolou shook his head.
"I've been suppressing its Corpse Qi all this time. If it were outside, its Corpse Qi and power would be ten times stronger. No one would be able to fight it."
This was not something Shu Xiao Lou said carelessly, it was the truth. In the art world, she could indeed suppress others, but if she couldn't even deal with an enemy in the art world, then it would be even more impossible for her to deal with them outside.
"Then what should we do?" Shang'er was also anxious. She had already used all her skills, but whether it was her magic or the Ghost Spirit Sword, she was unable to seriously injure the headless zombie.
"This headless zombie has turned into demonic energy. Looks like it lost its head, which led to its obsession, turning it into a demon." Lin Jin observed carefully. Right after he said that, he had a flash of inspiration.
With a flip of his hand, a unique sword appeared in his grasp.
This sword was the Demon Slayer from the Museum of Deadly Beasts.
The moment the Demon Slayer appeared, it startled the headless zombie below. The pair of eyes on its chest immediately looked up and the fangs in the mouth that had been separated from its abdomen let out a deafening roar.
The next instant, the immortal-binding rope on its body was freed. This was the first time the immortal-binding rope's golden glow was affected by the demonic energy as it dimmed.
Lin Jin knew that the headless zombie was now stronger than an average immortal. Even the immortal-binding rope couldn't handle it.
He quickly recalled the immortal-binding rope. This was a true treasure. If he lost it, Lin Jin would be heartbroken.
Without the immortal-binding rope's restraint, the headless zombie leaped up, bringing with it the ferocious demonic energy. Seeing this, Lin Jin could only give it a try and toss the Demon Slayer out.
"Shang'er, stab it with this sword!" Lin Jin shouted. Shang'er immediately invoked a spell and cast Object Manipulation, controlling the Demon Slayer to stab the zombie.
With a gust of wind, the Demon Slayer instantly pierced the headless zombie's abdomen.
The demonic energy that even the Ghost Spirit Sword couldn't pierce through was like a thin sheet of paper under the Demon Slayer, easily piercing through.
In an instant, the Demon Slayer pierced through the headless zombie. Then, under Shang'er's Object Manipulation, it came crashing down.
With a loud boom, the headless zombie was nailed to the ground by the Demon Slayer.
Strangely enough, after being nailed to the ground by the Demon Slayer, the headless zombie stopped moving as if it was a real corpse. However, the situation wasn't as simple as it seemed.
Lin Jin could tell that the headless zombie was only being suppressed by the Demon Slayer. If the sword were to be pulled out, it would immediately come back to life.
However, being able to suppress it now was a good thing.
"It's a pity that my painting realm isn't strong enough. If I were stronger, I could trap this headless zombie to death, making it impossible for it to escape." Shu Xiaolou's brows relaxed.
She could tell that the danger had been averted.
Not only did the Demon Slayer seal the headless zombie, but it also sealed off the zombie's overflowing demonic energy. Although it wasn't completely destroyed, as long as the Demon Slayer wasn't pulled out, there shouldn't be a problem.
"Lin Jin, where did this sword of yours come from?" Now that her worries were gone, Shu Xiaolou resumed her innocent questioning mode.
She was clearly curious about the Demon Slayer that could seal this headless zombie.
As long as it was something she was curious about, she would find a way to get her hands on it. Lin Jin knew this very well.
"Don't even think about it. Even I can't retrieve it. If I do, it'll be the same as unsealing this headless zombie." Lin Jin shrugged, expressing his helplessness. Come to think of it, his heart ached. This was the museum's Demon Slayer. If he were to use it to seal this headless zombie, what would he do if he ran into a demon in the future?
However, there was no helping it. He could only take it one step at a time.
For the time being, this headless zombie could only be sealed in Shu Xiaolou's painting realm. Naturally, Shu Xiaolou and Shang'er began asking about this headless zombie's origins.
Lin Jin suddenly remembered that there was another door in the Visitation Hall that hadn't been opened yet.
If there was another zombie in that door, things would get troublesome.
At the thought of this, his expression darkened. Lin Jin clearly knew that with their current strength, sealing one immortal-level zombie was already their limit. They wouldn't be able to handle another one. They only had one Demon Slayer, no more.
But just because they couldn't handle it didn't mean they couldn't check it out.
Moreover, Lin Jin remembered the mysterious door and silhouette when he pushed open door number three.
Someone was obviously trying to release the zombie in door number three, but Lin Jin was one step ahead of them. Would that person attack the thing in door number two?
That was hard to say.
