Late at night, everything was silent.
The world seemed to have fallen into a deathly stillness. Only the pale moon was looking down at the earth, giving people a strange feeling of oppression.
Crack, crack, crack …
Under the pale moonlight, a human-shaped skeleton could be seen walking stiffly in the middle of a swamp, with a dim soul fire flickering between its eyebrows.
The people who were following behind the humanoid skeleton were confused, "Where is it taking us?"
"Follow it!"
Ye Chen took a good look at the humanoid skeleton walking at the front. An undetectable gleam flashed through his eyes.
Logically speaking, existences like the undead were concentrated in the Corpse Demon Sea, but everyone was still a long distance away from the Corpse Demon Sea.
Why would there be a humanoid skeleton?
Crack, crack, crack …
At that moment, the humanoid skeleton suddenly stopped. It moved its stiff joints and lowered its head to size up the gray area in the distance.
Faintly discernible, a faint black aura spread out from the gray area in the distance. From afar, it looked like a patch of dark clouds.
"Be careful, it's zombie miasma!"
Ye Chen reminded everyone, "It's very likely that there are zombies here!"
As soon as he said that, a roar suddenly came from the gray area. Then, a furry black shadow jumped out.
Behind it were three humanoid skeletons.
When he saw that the black shadow was just a black zombie, the Patriarch of Hell could not help but laugh, "It's really a zombie, but it's just a black zombie. Its level is too low. At most, it's equivalent to a Foundation Building cultivator."
Tap, tap, tap …
Although the black zombie was standing straight, its movements were extremely agile. It was like a black hurricane as it charged towards the humanoid skeleton in front of everyone.
At the same time, the three humanoid skeletons behind it also joined forces to attack the former. Clearly, they had planned this for a long time.
"Be careful …" Yang Hao reminded subconsciously.
Under everyone's gaze, the humanoid skeleton leading the group advanced instead of retreating. With a whoosh, it took the initiative to meet the three stiff skeletons.
Swoosh …
The humanoid skeleton's speed was extremely fast. Its bright white bone claws landed on the three stiff skeletons one after another.
"Pfft!!!"
The zombie in the lead was instantly chopped into two halves at the waist by the skeletal claws, and the three skeletons behind it had their skulls chopped off.
This was a battle where they had the advantage in numbers. Following the powerful counterattack of the humanoid skeleton, the final result could be said to be out of everyone's expectations.
At this moment, even Patriarch Yellow Spring, who had been indifferent all this while, was shocked.
One had to know that the humanoid skeleton in front of them was so weak that it was only at the Spirit Gathering Stage, yet it was able to easily kill a Foundation Establishment Stage black zombie and three skeletons of the same level.
Immediately after, the human-shaped skeleton slowly walked toward the three skulls on the ground, its mouth moving up and down.
It actually absorbed the soul fire between the eyebrows of the three skeletons.
At the same time, the originally dim Soul Fire between its eyebrows became much more condensed, and the flame gradually turned from white to red.
Even the color of its bones had turned red.
At that moment, the Patriarch of Hell's expression changed completely, "Fellow Ye, it can actually devour its own kind!"
Ye Chen stared fixedly at the humanoid skeleton that had undergone a transformation. His star-like eyes flickered non-stop.
Undead were also known as undead creatures. The way they advanced was usually to cultivate their own soul fire. As the soul fire grew stronger, they would advance. This process often took thousands of years.
However, among them, there were some favored children of fate who could devour the soul fire of their own kind to advance. However, such existences were usually not allowed by the Heavenly Dao. Every time they appeared, they would be destroyed by the heavenly punishment.
Now, they had witnessed a favored child.
The Patriarch of Hell looked at the transformed humanoid skeleton quietly, "It has advanced. It's no weaker than the Foundation Establishment Stage now. This person must have been extraordinary when he was alive."
"That's right," Ye Chen nodded lightly.
The classification of undead was not as complicated as that of cultivators. Their strength was measured by the strength of the soul fire, and the strength of the soul fire was differentiated by color.
From low to high, they were red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Above them were silver and gold, just like the silver skeleton known as Silver Wing that Ye Chen had seen in the Corpse Demon Sea earlier.
Crack, crack, crack …
At that moment, the red skeleton lowered its head and reached out its bone claws to easily pierce through the black zombie's heart. Then, it took out a black crystal core about the size of a pigeon's egg.
It held the black crystal core just like that, then turned around and walked towards the crowd. It gently handed it to Yang Hao as its mouth made a gurgling sound.
"What is it doing now?" Yang Hao said with a grim expression.
The Patriarch of Hell laughed gloatingly, "It wants to give this zombie's corpse core to you for you to eat."
"What?"
Yang Hao was stunned. He looked at the black crystal core and said subconsciously, "What's the use of eating this? Can it make me invulnerable like a zombie? "
"Sure!"
The Patriarch of Hell chuckled and said, "Not only can it make you invulnerable, but it can also make you a zombie."
Yang Hao's face turned green when he heard that. He shook his head like a rattle drum, "No, I don't want it …"
The others could not help but laugh when they saw that.
When the red skeleton saw that, it had no choice but to stick the crystal core between its brows. It used its soul fire to melt it into energy and then absorbed it.
It could even absorb a zombie's crystal core?
Ye Chen and the Patriarch of Hell could not help but look at each other when they saw that. They saw the shock in each other's eyes.
The red skeleton turned around and walked out of the swamp again. It would turn around and wave at the crowd from time to time as it walked.
Yang Hao had goosebumps. He really did not want to continue following. He said while swallowing his saliva, "Uncle Ye, why don't we go back …"
"It's fine. Let's follow and take a look."
Ye Chen patted his shoulder while smiling and gestured for everyone to follow. He was getting more and more interested in the skeleton.
…
After an hour, everyone followed the red skeleton from afar to a place overlooking a cliff.
Although it was a cliff, it was extremely wide. It was enough to build a small village with 200 people living on it.
However, the strange thing was that the cliff was a barren land. There were no plants or living creatures at all. It was barren, and there was only extremely pitch-black land mixed with scarlet liquid.
As soon as everyone arrived, they felt an unusually hot temperature coming at them, as if they were in a furnace.
"It's so hot, so hot …" Yang Hao complained.
The red skeleton did not stop at all. It led everyone forward and finally stopped in front of a huge rock.
"What's that?"
Someone pointed at the fire in the distance. Everyone immediately looked over and saw a huge volcano crater.
The most shocking thing was that there was a resplendent treasure light shooting out from the volcano crater. They could vaguely see ancient buildings standing inside.
