Chapter 556



556 The flower raises the zombie, leaving no trace

This zombie was three meters tall, and its skin and flesh were as tough as steel. Its eyes glowed with a cold light, and when it appeared, waves of rancid dark green aura began to spread to the surroundings.

Judging from the aura that this zombie was exuding, it clearly already had the cultivation of a Lord-tier!

In normal wild buildings, there were very few monsters that were higher level than the Lord. At most, there would be Level 4 or 5 monsters.

However, any building that housed Lord-tier monsters would definitely contain tempting wealth. It made sense for the treasure map to say that this place was a treasure trove.

It was merely a Lord-tier monster. How could Tang Zhen place it in his eyes? he could casually crush it to death!

The Zombie’s head gently turned. Its eyes that flickered with a blood-red dim light were already firmly staring at Tang Zhen’s body.

“Roar!”

A roar came out of the Zombie’s mouth, and a huge blood-red saber bounced out of the coffin and fell into the Zombie’s hand.

Looking at the style of the blade, it was clearly the same set of weapons and equipment as the armor on the zombie.

Seeing that the zombie jumped out of the giant coffin and pounced towards him, the demon Blade in Tang Zhen’s hand casually slashed out and directly swept across the Zombie’s neck.

“Pfft!”

This blade seemed to have struck a ball of leather that was folded into countless layers. However, no matter how tough the Zombie’s body was, how could it block the demon weapon’s battle blade and Tang Zhen’s terrifying strength?

A mass of dirty blood was squeezed out of the Zombie’s bare neck. It looked as sticky as melted asphalt, and the smell it gave off was unbearable.

The huge head rolled out and hit a long stone coffin next to the stone platform. As the lid of the coffin shattered, a rotten corpse rolled out.

Tang Zhen glanced at the mummified corpse and discovered that its clothes were clearly in the style of loucheng natives. It was completely different from the ancient tomb zombies.

Looking at the surface of the mummified body, it was covered with holes of various sizes, as if it had been pierced by countless sharp objects.

Tang Zhen finally understood why the corpse was in such a miserable state when he looked at the stone coffin that it was in earlier. It was because the stone coffin and its lid were covered with black spikes that were engraved with special runes!

Currently, Tang Zhen could be considered to have quite some attainments in symbols. With a glance, he was able to tell that the effect of this strange and unique symbol was to paralyze the body and prevent blood from coagulating.

The inside of the stone coffin was also engraved with runes, which seemed to be a magic circle that stimulated one’s potential and caused illusions. It could make the trapped person fall into an illusion and not die easily from blood loss.

The Wanderers trapped in the stone coffins would bleed continuously and die slowly in pain and confusion.

If one looked closely, they would find that there were small holes at the bottom of the stone coffins. The blood of the unlucky people trapped in the stone coffins had flowed out from these holes.

With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen upright stone coffins exploded instantly, revealing the shriveled bodies inside.

They were all Wanderers and cultivators who had accidentally entered the ancient tomb and wild building. Who knew how long they had stayed here?

Looking at the pained and twisted expressions of the corpses, it was clear that even though they had died in an illusion, the process was still extremely painful.

Tang Zhen stared at those broken stone coffins for a moment. He lifted his foot and stepped on the empty air. It was as though he was stepping on invisible stairs as he walked to the stone platform.

On the huge platform, there was a huge metal coffin, and beside it were two rows of strangely shaped sculptures.

The owner of the coffin had already been killed by Tang Zhen. However, there was still something inside the coffin. It was the culprit that was sucking the Wanderers ‘blood essence!

When Tang Zhen arrived in front of the coffin, he immediately saw the strange flower that was spread open like a monster’s soft jaw. It was laid inside the coffin like a blanket and the petals were covered with sharp thorns that were constantly squirming.

In fact, there were two Lord-tier monsters hidden in the metal coffin. The zombie was one of them, and the strange giant flower was the other!

The zombie from before was wrapped in this strange flower, and it relied on the essence Qi injected by the flower to survive for a long time.

The flower was nourished by the blood of the Wanderers, which flowed from the bottom of the coffin to the bottom of the stone platform and then gathered at the root of the strange flower.

Just as Tang Zhen was sizing up the flower, a trace of obscure mental energy enveloped him. It seemed to want to transfer into his mind and control his consciousness.

it can even create illusions. Interesting!

Tang Zhen intentionally allowed the spiritual energy to invade his spiritual domain. He wanted to see what it wanted to do.

An illusion appeared in front of Tang Zhen’s eyes. That mental energy actually wanted him to move the corpse from the upright stone coffin. After which, he would lie down in it and close the coffin lid!

It turned out that this was the reason why the Wanderers had died. They had not been put into the stone coffins by others, but they had locked themselves in there!

It was likely that after Tang Zhen entered it, that mental energy would cause Tang Zhen to mistakenly think that he was in a dangerous situation. After which, he would continue to fight with all his might and unleash all of his life force. In the end, he would become a completely drained corpse.

If they encountered an intruder that the giant flower could not confuse, the zombie would take action, subdue them, and put them into the stone coffin.

In fact, when Tang Zhen entered the wild building of the ancient tomb, the strange giant flower had already begun to confuse Tang Zhen and make him fall into an illusion.

It was a pity that its methods were too low-level and couldn’t confuse a King level cultivator. That was why the zombie jumped out to deal with Tang Zhen.

With a thought, the mental energy that had invaded Tang Zhen’s mind was directly obliterated. The strange flower in the coffin seemed to have been struck by lightning as it emitted a miserable cry that was like that of an owl.

Tang Zhen looked at the ugly flower with disgust. With a wave of his hand, the flower was instantly crushed and turned into a pool of mud!

A blood-red brain bead appeared in front of Tang Zhen’s eyes, emitting a gloomy and strange aura. Tang Zhen played with it for a while and discovered that it was actually a mutated brain bead that had hallucinating effects.

After putting away the mutated brain bead, Tang Zhen checked all the upright stone coffins again, but he did not find Xiao Li and the other transmigrators in these remains.

It seemed that they were not here. Perhaps they had entered the deeper parts of the tomb!

Tang Zhen frowned slightly. He swept his eyes over the dark and deep tomb before continuing to slowly walk forward.

The area of this ancient tomb was very large. After passing through a tomb door, another huge tomb chamber appeared in front of Tang Zhen.

Compared to the previous chamber, the decorations in this one were more luxurious, and the paintings on the walls were more exquisite. The styles of the two were completely different.

If the previous chamber was used to bury generals, then this chamber was used to bury civil officials!

Ignoring the table and the treasures scattered on the ground, Tang Zhen casually picked up a book that was repeatedly folded in half. He opened it and read it.

The contents of this book involved government affairs. Because Tang Zhen didn’t know the origin of this building, he only knew a little about it.

After throwing the book aside, Tang Zhen looked at the giant transparent coffin in the middle of the tomb. It was like a transparent container filled with blood-red liquid.

A half-naked body was soaked in the coffin. The upper half was human-shaped, and the lower half was like an octopus. If one looked closely, the two were clearly connected by a thin transparent thread.

Within the blood, there were countless tiny worms squirming in and out of the body’s nose and mouth.

More than a dozen human-shaped puppet-like objects surrounded the transparent coffin in an orderly manner. They were holding ancient-looking long swords in their hands and seemed to be used as guards.

Tang Zhen saw the large number of bones around the puppet with a glance. The red-colored liquid in the transparent coffin was clearly the fresh blood that the puppet had poured into it!

it’s another strange secret technique that nourishes blood in an attempt to achieve immortality. This ancient tomb is really evil!

His voice had just sounded when those puppets suddenly surrounded him. However, they were shattered into pieces by a casual slash from Tang Zhen.

The stitched monster in the transparent coffin jumped up, and the tentacles under its body wriggled out of the coffin. It seemed to be malnourished to the limit. Its upper body was only skin and bones, its face was like a skeleton, and there was a crown-like bulge on its forehead.

Tang Zhen was anxious to find Xiao Li and the others. He did not have the mood to waste time on these monsters. After killing this monster in a few moves, he entered the next tomb.

However, there was still a doubt in his heart. Xiao Li and the others could not fly, so why did he not see any traces of them from the beginning to the end?
