Chapter 47: Withered Bones Demon
The next morning, Lu Zhong arrived at Li Dong's house.
Unlike the half-old Xu girl who came out last time, the one who came out to open the door this time was replaced by an old woman with wrinkles on her face. Something seemed to have happened to one of her eyes and became very turbid and could no longer see anything.
In the old woman's awe-inspiring gaze, he walked into the house as he used to.
When you enter the house, you can smell a pungent smell of medicinal herbs floating in the air.
As a result of a singing voice, Li Dong hummed a very cheerful nursery rhyme and walked out of the bedroom with a sleeping boy in his arms.
It can be clearly seen that the boy's face was as bright as gold paper, and he was afraid that his life was in danger. No wonder he was so anxious yesterday and was eager to find the coffin bacteria.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, what are you doing?" Li Dong said softly, as if he was afraid of waking up the boy.
"This..." Lu Zhong looked at the boy and said his plan.
The information at Tongfu Teahouse is likely to be true, so according to his own opinion.
Even if two people form a team, they can only explore the mass pit area of the general’s tomb, and they cannot go too deep, otherwise they will have a chance to encounter unpredictable danger.
In order to make a mere evil-removing talisman, he felt that it was not worth it to pay his life.
Hearing Lu Zhong’s thoughts, Li Dong looked at the boy in his arms, was silent for a while before saying: “Yes, it’s up to three hours. If we fail to find the coffin bacteria, we will quit!”
As he said that, he handed the boy to the old woman, a trace of souvenir flashed in his eyes, and he kept instructing him: "Remember to feed the medicine at noon."
"Yes, master." The old woman skillfully picked up the boy, turned around and returned to the bedroom.
Retracting his gaze, Li Dong turned around and said to Lu Zhong: "The market is a bit far from the entrance of the General's tomb. Why don't we set out now? It's noon when we reach the mass grave."
The yang energy at noon is sufficient, which is the trough period of the day when zombie ghosts are active, which is relatively suitable for exploration.
Lu Zhong felt it made sense, so he agreed.
...
After leaving the market, the two of them headed south and crossed the wasteland directly.
There is no more tree in the wasteland except for the bushes.
Even if you can't even encounter half a shrub, it does look like an ancient battlefield.
The further you go, the land becomes more and more desolate, and gradually the grass does not grow, and the soil changes from the loess at the beginning to a dead gray sandy soil.
Holding up a handful of soil, the mud and sand slid down from your hands.
In the end, the remaining parts in my hand were in addition to some jade-like broken bones, and some shining metal fragments.
However, what puzzled Lu Zhong was that even though it was about noon, he didn't even see a trace of the tomb. All he could see was the boundless ancient battlefield in front of him.
"Here." Li Dong suddenly said.
He pointed to a hidden earth pit, then lowered his body and disappeared.
When I walked over and looked, Lu Zhong found that the reverse slope of the soil pit was hidden in a very secretive hole. It should have been dug for a long time, but it can still accommodate one person in and out.
When he entered, he found himself in a gloomy passage.
The passage is three meters square, and the four walls are covered with compact black mud walls. The hole that comes in happens to be on the mud wall.
Standing in the passage, you can smell a decadent smell.
Judging from the dust on the ground, no one has been here recently.
Lu Zhong tried to use the qi out technique and found that he could only see a faint gray light, and it was obvious that the yin energy here was relatively thin.
It can be clearly seen that the concentration of the yin energy on his left hand is much lower than that on his right hand.
At this moment, Li Dong was holding a shiny jade in one hand and a map in the other hand to distinguish the direction.
After a while, he pointed to Lu Zhong's left and said, "The crowd is here, let's go and explore."
"Okay!" Lu Zhong nodded.
He held a golden light talisman in his left hand and a Qingshuang sword in his right hand, and was mentally prepared to encounter enemies at any time.
And deliberately, he was a little behind Li Dong.
Being careful is necessary, you must be careful.
Not long after walking forward, scattered bones began to appear in the passage.
Continue to move forward, the number of bones increases rapidly, and the passage is spread all over the floor.
At this time, every step forward is to step on the crisp, rotten bones.
As soon as you step down, there is bone meal full of the soles of the shoe.
At this moment, on both sides of the passage, there were small chambers dug out, full of large tanks filled with skeletons, and around them were piled up, forming small Jingguans.
Gradually, a gloomy feeling enveloped the entire passage.
During this process, Lu Zhong kept using the Qi-seeking Technique, alerting to the possible threats.
Unfortunately, there was only a faint gray light, and nothing unusual appeared.
On the other side, Li Dong would go inside to check almost every time he passed by a small room.
But every time he entered with hope, he would come out with disappointment. Li Dong's face began to become gloomy, and he was searching for him without saying a word.
Lu Zhong saw it and didn't say anything.
Just then, he heard a rustling sound.
When I turned around and saw that some bones were floating on their own. First, all the bones gathered together, and soon a skeleton was formed.
With a bang, a green flame ignited from their skulls.
It's an ambush!
In the blink of an eye, the two of them were attacked from both sides, and were blocked by hundreds of skeletons in front and behind.
"It's just some dead bone monsters, no matter how many of them are, they are like ants. We will deal with each other one by one." Li Dong took out a magic sword with a calm expression and reminded Lu Zhong at the same time.
Lu Zhong nodded, felt relieved, and began to pinch the sword skills with both hands.
The Qingshuang Sword moved with the sword technique, and a layer of green light appeared with a buzzing sound, and snowflakes began to fall, causing the temperature of the already cold channel to drop by three points.
With a "swish", the sword shadow flew out like an arrow leaving the string.
To be cautious, his sword did not intend to stab the group of dry bone demons, but was preparing to pass by the previous ones and try the quality of these bone demons.
Unexpectedly, these dead bone monsters were surprisingly fragile.
Just the strong wind caused by magic weapons can easily blow them down.
Seeing this, Lu Zhong felt very at ease.
Immediately, the sword technique changed its previous cautious strategy.
The Qingshuang Sword opened and closed in the group of dry bone demons, slashing horizontally and vertically, and there was no enemy that could be combined everywhere.
It took less than ten breaths to solve all the dead bone monsters here.
Li Dong also sacrificed his magic weapon.
However, this sword weapon seemed to be worn too seriously, so that the spiritual light on the surface of the sword body was flickering, and it seemed that it could be out of control at any time.
Moreover, he is not very skilled in sword techniques, and he only knows how to use sword moves like a single slash and stabbing, and cannot achieve seamless connection like Lu Zhong.
"Perhaps, this is the normal strength of the casual cultivator's talisman-making master..."
Lu Zhong thought so in his heart, and pinched out several sword techniques one after another, calling Qingshuang Sword to help.
