Ding Ning had to admit that everyone had underestimated Hu Yaoshi. Thinking of what was about to happen here, he felt a chill run down his spine.
What Hu Yaoshi had set up was the Ten Sides Ambush Formation. He used the ruins as the formation, the power of the immortal corpses as the energy, and the magnetic field of the earth veins as the traction. When the time came, he only needed to step on the tip of his foot to release the traction energy, and all the corpses in the ruins would come back to life and open the door to slaughter.
This kind of method was no longer a method of the mortal world, but a method of the immortals. This showed that Medicine Master Hu's attainments in formations had reached a terrible level that could shock the world and make ghosts and gods weep. His attainments in formations were far from being comparable to his.
Ding Ning trembled with excitement. He watched and learned Hu Yaoshi's method of setting up formations like he was intoxicated. This was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime learning opportunity for him.
Most importantly, he could see that Hu Yaoshi's method of setting up formations was completely different from the ones in the ruins. It was the most authentic method of setting up formations in the Three Realms. Otherwise, he would not have recognized the Ten Sides Ambush Formation. Was Hu Yaoshi also a human from the outside world?
After setting up the formation, Hu Yaoshi's face was as calm as an ancient well. His deep eyes showed no emotion. He put his hands behind his back and closed his eyes to rest. Only the slight rise and fall of his chest showed that he was not calm at the moment.
Ding Ning sympathized with Hu Yaoshi and wanted to help him, but he did not dare to act rashly at the moment.
Not to mention Deputy Pavilion Leader Zhang, who was at the peak of the Holy Martial Arts Realm, the dozen or so men who were responsible for supervising and protecting Hu Yaoshi were all at the initial stage of the Holy Martial Arts Realm and above. Among them, one was at the late stage of the Holy Martial Arts Realm, and two were at the middle stage of the Holy Martial Arts Realm.
The reason why Ding Ning thought that they were experts of the Holy Martial Arts Realm and not experts of the Monster King Realm was because he could keenly sense that these people not only cultivated the power of Qi and blood, but also unintentionally released faint fluctuations of Spiritual Power when they were on guard.
Spiritual Power was not necessarily stronger than the power of Qi and blood, but people who cultivated Spiritual Power and Qi and blood at the same time were definitely much stronger than those of the Monster Clan who only cultivated the power of Qi and blood.
"I don't know if there are any of these guys who have comprehended the Realm of the God. If there are, it will be troublesome."
Ding Ning muttered to himself. His mind worked quickly as he tried to think of a way out. Once the Ten Sides Ambush Fatal Killing Formation was activated, other than the formation eye Hu Yaoshi had left for himself as a safe place, any other location would become the hunting range of the immortal corpse.
Thinking of the terrifying scene when a bunch of immortal and immortal corpses suddenly launched indiscriminate attacks, Ding Ning's scalp was about to explode.
Not to mention being attacked by the Immortal Corpse, just letting it get close to them would be enough to crush a Saint Martial realm cultivator.
No, he would definitely die if he continued to stay here. He had to find a safe place to hide.
Ding Ning murmured to himself. He looked around and found that in a corner of the ruins, there was a skeleton of a humanoid creature that was not included in the tactical formation. Immediately, he was delighted and quietly approached the skeleton.
It was an extremely strange skeleton. It did not emit any pressure, but after so many years, this skeleton was the only one that had not decayed. It still maintained a human shape, but its flesh and blood had completely withered. It was like a skeleton wearing human skin.
Ding Ning carefully approached the skeleton and murmured, "Amitabha, I did not mean to offend you. I only ask for a safe place to protect me. Please don't blame me. When I'm done, I will definitely find a good place to bury you so that you can rest in peace!"
After comforting himself, Ding Ning quietly hid behind the skeleton. He felt uneasy. He did not know if the skeleton could withstand the terrifying pressure of the immortal corpses.
He did not notice that as he quietly murmured, the skeleton's eyelids moved slightly, as if it was struggling to wake up. But it was only for a moment, and then it fell silent again.
So cold!
Ding Ning shivered unconsciously. The skeleton did not emit any pressure, but the surrounding temperature was frighteningly low. After staying for a while, even his spirit seemed to be frozen, and his body was cold.
However, he was not surprised but happy. If there was nothing extraordinary about this strange corpse, he would be disappointed.
He ran the power of the fire totem and merged it with his spiritual power. It wandered in his meridians and constantly dispelled the coldness. It was not unbearable.
The black and white millstone trembled slightly and began to rotate on its own. It kept crushing the coldness that invaded his body into wisps of spirit and poured into his spirit sea.
Ding Ning was overjoyed. He did not expect that the coldness emitted by the corpse had such a miraculous effect. It could actually be refined into spirit sea.
It should be known that no matter on earth or in the Monster Kingdom, there was pitifully little spirit power between heaven and earth. It was an extremely time-consuming thing to rely on hard cultivation to strengthen spirit sea.
If he had not coincidentally swallowed half of the monster core of the sea serpent dragon and absorbed a large amount of spirit power contained in the life essence of the tree spirit to liquefy his spirit sea, he was afraid that he would not even be able to open up his spirit sea.
Eating the green fruit could indeed increase one's mental strength, but the problem was that the effect was not obvious. In fact, it could even be said that the effect was negligible. After all, the Tree Spirit had wanted to make him explode, so it did not hold back at all. It could not be compared to the green fruit that these Tree Spirits had to hand over helplessly.
In addition, he only had a total of more than a hundred green fruits. After giving it to Old Donkey and the others, there were only a few dozen left. He planned to keep them for his women and brothers to improve their physiques. How could he be willing to eat them himself?
But now, the coldness emitted by this strange corpse actually had the effect of increasing spirit power. Ding Ning would not be polite anymore. He frantically operated the Sutra of Cultivating Spirit and greedily swallowed the coldness. After being ground by the black and white grinding stone, it was transformed into spirit sea liquid and dropped drop by drop into his spirit sea.
The spirit sea liquid in his spirit sea grew at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the end, the speed of the black and white grinding stone reached a level that the naked eye could not detect. The spirit sea liquid was like a string of pearls that kept dripping, causing waves of ripples in his spirit sea.
The dry corpse's eyelids trembled violently, but it could not open its eyes. It let the Immortal Spirit flow wildly, but it could not do anything about it. The corner of its mouth could not help but curl slightly, revealing a trace of desolation.
It was originally a Saint-level expert. In order to obtain the fortune here, it did not hesitate to cut off its own cultivation to enter the Monster Kingdom. However, it did not expect that its Immortal Spirit would be smashed by an enemy expert, injuring its foundation of the Great Path, and falling into a state of suspended animation.
After countless years of recuperation, its Immortal Spirit unconsciously reformed again. However, because its physical body had already decayed, it had to use a large amount of Immortal Spirit to cleanse its physical body in order to regain its vitality.
If Ding Ning had come a thousand years later, perhaps he would have succeeded. Not only would he have been able to recover, but he might have even advanced to the Immortal Emperor realm. This was because he had used the Immortal Spirit to continuously cleanse his physical body and had unexpectedly condensed an Immortal Skin.
When Ding Ning had first been brought here by Old Donkey, the dry corpse had discovered him. It had wanted to possess him, but it was reluctant to part with the Immortal Skin that Ding Ning had painstakingly condensed, so it had not made a move yet.
It had not expected that Ding Ning would suddenly run over and use it as a shield. How could the unruly and unruly corpse tolerate this? It had released some of its Immortal Spirit in an attempt to destroy Ding Ning's consciousness. However, it had not expected that Ding Ning's consciousness would actually have a mysterious item like the Black and White Grinding Stone. It had continuously crushed its Immortal Spirit, causing its consciousness to be heavily injured once again.
In its great shock, the corpse wanted to withdraw its Immortal Spirit, but the Black and White Grinding Stone released a terrifying devouring force. It could not resist at all and could only allow its Immortal Spirit's consciousness to be forcefully ground away, becoming the purest nourishment to nourish Ding Ning's consciousness.
It was filled with hatred. If it had known this would happen, it would have obediently become a shield. One wrong decision had ruined its hope of resurrection.
Ding Ning did not know that he had just taken a trip to the gates of hell. He did not hesitate to accept this benefit that had been delivered to his doorstep. He even continued to babble, "Many thanks for your help, Senior. When this is over, I will definitely burn down a large villa for you. Oh right, do you prefer a BMW or a Mercedes-Benz? An off-road vehicle or a sports car? If not, I will burn one for you … "
The corpse was so aggrieved that it wanted to vomit blood. As a dignified Heavenly Emperor, his Immortal Spirit had been devoured by a boy who was not even a god, and he had to listen to this boy's endless sarcasm.
Yes, Ding Ning was filled with gratitude, but the corpse took it for granted that he was making sarcastic remarks. It made it roar madly in its heart, "This bastard did it on purpose, he definitely did it on purpose. He came to scheme against me, I hate him so much …"
"I have always felt that burning young boys and young girls is a very cruel thing to do. Also, there is a group of paper men standing beside your coffin, and they look very anxious. I think we should just forget about burning young boys and young girls. What do you think?"
Ding Ning did not seem to realize that he had caused an immortal Heavenly Emperor to suffer internal injuries. He was still babbling and making wishes. "Why don't I cook three animals for you? Do you know what three animals are? Actually, they are animals like pigs, cows, and sheep. Do you like to eat them raw or roasted? Forget it, you won't answer me anyway. I don't think it's good to eat them raw. Not to mention the bad taste, it's easy to have diarrhea and be infected with parasites. It's uncivilized, unhygienic, and very unhealthy. I think it's better to eat them roasted. They're delicious, and when you bite into them, oil will come out.
It's so delicious … "Speaking of this, Ding Ning could not help but swallow his saliva. He clicked his tongue and praised," Tsk, tsk, tsk. You haven't eaten it before, so you don't know how it tastes. It's so beautiful that you won't even exchange it with a fairy to be your wife … Uh, no, no, no, no, no matter how fragrant and delicious the roasted meat is, it can be exchanged with a fairy. But then again, Senior, I won't cook a fairy for you. I have two fairy wives … "
The corpse was so aggrieved that he wanted to die. Was this guy a chatterbox? Roasted meat? Was he greedy for me?
Damn it, why do I suddenly want to taste the taste of barbecued meat? How long had it been since I had roasted meat? A million years? Or ten million years? I can't even remember!
Sigh, even though I had become immortal and no longer ate the food of the mortal world, I suddenly recalled the time when I was still a mortal, when I lit a bonfire with my family and friends, with my childhood sweetheart, laughing and playing, and fighting over roasted meat. Those past events of the mortal world that I had almost forgotten were so clear at this moment, as if they had happened yesterday. It was unforgettable and unforgettable.
He originally thought that those former close friends and brothers, as well as the girls he chased together, those beautiful memories he once had in his life had long become yesterday's flower, buried in the depths of his memory. But only now did he know that he had never forgotten them. He just did not want to recall those sad past.
A turbid tear that should not have been there squeezed out from the corner of the corpse's eye. He knew that he had already reached the end of his life. Recalling the past revealed his most primitive nature of pursuing a better life. That was something that only an old man on his deathbed would reminisce about.
This also meant that a large amount of his life source had already begun to flow away, entering the countdown to his life.
