"My wife, this place is rather far from Hanshan Temple." Zhang Ziyuan said apologetically.
"That's probably what I meant. The Suzhou is a good scenery to begin with, there are gardens and there are knotweed root. This place is actually not bad, although it's not a scenic area, if we were to go out to the lake at night, I think it would be pretty good too."
"Oh? "So we're going to have a date this time?" Zhang Ziyuan rarely talked about dates, and indeed, I didn't have much time at all. After hearing him talk about it this time, my face started to feel slightly hot, right, even if it's my date with Zhang Ziyuan, it's still not bad?
"Yue Feng, about where?" Shuo Yue asked.
"Right here. Rumor has it that this place has always been deserted tombs. It's not strange that there are corpses here, but the appearance of large numbers of them is a bit strange." Yue Feng had also learned a lot of techniques.
Before Yue Feng had finished speaking, a strange sound came from the trees in front of them. It seemed to be a low growl, and also seemed to be the sound of footsteps, getting closer and closer.
"Everyone be careful, it's time. It's probably time to come out!" Yue Feng reminded.
Sure enough, dozens of zombies began to move. These zombies had all kinds of different colours, and they all had different kinds of appearances.
Some of them had already turned into eerie white bones. Without flesh and blood, their movements were abnormally slow, as if they had no goal. They only followed along blindly with the other zombies.
There were also a few dried corpses in shroud. They seemed to have just died, but their faces were usually expressionless. Their arms were stretched out like zombies in a horror movie, as if they were touching something. Some of them had faces full of blood, and appeared abnormally terrifying. Others were covered by their hair, making it difficult to see their faces.
"Yeah, Mom, I've never seen a zombie parade on such a large scale. It scared me to death!" I tightly grabbed onto Zhang Ziyuan's arm.
"Cough cough, my wife, you have already become a Spirit Master. It is wrong for you to be so afraid of zombies."
"But in this kind of situation where there's such an atmosphere, who would be afraid of such a time?"
"Fine." Zhang Ziyuan was still soft-hearted, he quietly grabbed onto my arm and said, "Don't be afraid, these aren't any high-levelled zombies, but the way they moved reminded me of something."
"What is it?" I wondered.
"It's the 'atony' that you mentioned in your book, that kind of strange puppet technique. To be honest, these zombies could not be compared to transformed, it's more like they were under someone's control."
I took a closer look at the zombies, as if they were organized and disciplined, not running around like the zombies in the movies.
It's said that not many people already know about the atony, and Zhang Shaowu said that other than his master's friend from the mechanical master, no one else has studied the so-called puppet technique.
"The world is a world full of wonders, the atony originated from the southern borders, and even if it has developed to this point, it is not something that just one or two people would understand, I'm afraid that the culprit is a atony expert."
Was it the Southern Wilderness again? There are really a lot of strange spells in the Southern Wilderness. Without any venom or puppets, I suddenly remembered where A Luo had gone to after leaving for a few days. He was also unfamiliar with the Central Plains, so I don't know if there would be any dangers there.
As he was thinking, the zombies had already attacked us.
"So you would attack!"
"Nonsense, of course! Although zombies have no mind, they can sense the breathing and heartbeat of living people and attack. " Shuo Yue didn't seem to understand this kind of thing.
Although there were a lot of zombies here, they were not that difficult to deal with. Some of them were obviously chopped down by the skeletons, but some of the clothes they wore were fashionable, making it difficult to deal with them!
"Could it be that some living people have become puppets?"
"Logically, it shouldn't happen. A living person has their own mind and thoughts. A normal puppet would find it hard to control a living person, but if a living person was infected with a cadaveric poison, it would be hard to say." Zhang Ziyuan explained.
"A cadaveric poison?"
"You have to be careful not to get bitten by zombies. If you get bitten, you will be hit by cadaveric poison."
Damn, with such a disgusting setting, I even said that the design of those zombie movies wouldn't appear in reality, but those zombies actually bit a person, and that person also became a zombie!
Because they knew these people were alive, they couldn't attack them. They could only knock them out or stop them.
"Anchor! "Go!" He stopped for a second, and asked, "Zhang Ziyuan, are there any chances for these infected people to recover?"
"Yes, as long as we pull out the cadaveric poison, there won't be a problem, and we can still recover."
"But how do we pull out these cadaveric poison?" He hacked down two more and stopped one.
"You can let pyretic lustre try!"
Ah right, pyretic lustre, why didn't I think of that? I immediately summoned my pyretic lustre and it soared into the sky. I don't know if it was my misconception, but I felt that the pyretic lustre seemed to have grown bigger.
"Help them detoxify the pyretic lustre!"
The pyretic lustre wagged its tail, absorbing all the poison in the place. After a while, the faces of the people that were already under its control changed, as if they had regained their color.
"It actually succeeded!"
In an instant, the zombies that were still wandering around also fell to the ground, as if they had lost control of the zombies and became normal.
"As expected, it's because of the cadaveric poison!"
After more than an hour of work, the zombies were all dealt with.
"The controller of these zombies shouldn't be too far away from where these zombies are. He should be somewhere nearby. Chase after him!" Yes, when I was reading the atony section of the book on the train, this was what Shuo Yue said, that would mean that the distance between an abandoned master and a puppet would not be too big.
We'll search the woods immediately, to see if there's anyone suspicious.
"Where are you!" Suddenly, I saw a suspicious figure flash past a big tree in front of me. I immediately chased after it. That person's speed was unexpectedly fast, making it impossible for me to catch up to him.
"Yue Feng, you are fast, come!"
Yue Feng nodded and chased after his. Because I had exhausted too much energy, I was already squatting on the ground, breathing heavily and too lazy to move anymore.
"Wife, what's wrong?"
"I, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired. Oh right, what about the brothers who are lying on the ground? When will they wake up? If they wake up and find out that they are lying on the ground in Suburb of Suzhou with many corpses and skeletons of zombies surrounding them, I think they would probably be scared to death.
"Those people will wake up after dawn." Zhang Ziyuan looked at the sky, it was almost morning, "You're right, then let's quickly clean up the mess?"
Yue Feng went to chase after Puppeteer, while the rest of us cleaned up these mess and cleaned up all the bones.
"When these people wake up, they will probably go home by themselves. They will probably think that I was sleepwalking right?"
At this time, Yue Feng had already returned, "I didn't catch up to you …"
What? Yue Feng, this descendant of the wind ghost, was unable to catch up with his speed, what kind of person was this?
"I think it's very normal, because the opponent is an expert of the atony, and if it's like this, he might be able to use some strange techniques like the Invisibility Spell, so it's not a matter of speed anymore."
"Mm, we've given him such a big show of power, he's probably afraid of us, too. Why don't we come back tomorrow and take a look around, I want to see just who this person is!"
After making up his mind, the first thing he would do when he returned was, of course, sleep.
"My wife, I feel that if this matter was really done by Ghost King, the other party wouldn't do it with just this small amount." My wife, I feel that if this matter was really done by Ghost King, the other party wouldn't do it with just this small amount of information.
"I think so too, Zhang Ziyuan. They ran away the moment they saw the failure, and didn't even bother meeting us, how could the Ghost King have so many subordinates?"
"Hmm, let's see what the situation is like tonight."
When I woke up to wash my face, someone called out to me.
"Wife, that A Luo has come back. He said that he came back to find you." Zhang Ziyuan's face became extremely ugly.
"Ah?" A Luo is back? It just so happens that we can ask him about the relationship between the Puppeteer s. He happens to be from the Southern Wilderness. "
"Mm …"
Seeing Zhang Ziyuan's sullen face, I also laughed: "Alright, there's really nothing going on between me and A Luo, he's only a kid, how can he not know what feelings are?
Originally, that time I took such a huge risk just to find a endosperm for the silverleaf granny, and also to save Zhang Ziyuan. I originally wanted to hide that matter from Zhang Ziyuan, but seeing his ugly expression, I told him everything.
After Zhang Ziyuan finished listening, his expression immediately changed from ugly to moved: "Wifey, in the future, don't ever risk your life for me. You dare to go to such a dangerous place like the Southern Wilderness, do you know how worried I am? "If something were to really happen to you, I probably won't ever forgive myself …"
"Aiyo, okay. It's been so long since I've told you. I'm just worried that you might be worried. But don't worry, I'm lucky and will not have any problems." Then, about A Luo? "
"Alright, I didn't care about it in the first place, I just felt that I hadn't mentioned that matter to me before. I just felt uncomfortable inside, but now that I have finished listening, I feel even worse, I know you wouldn't be interested in a young man like A Luo, right?"
Sigh, this Zhang Ziyuan, is actually quite narcissistic, for sure I would fall under his hands?
"Wife!" Ah no, Su Su! I'm back! " This time, A Luo came back at the perfect time, and this was the place where we were all at.
"Luckily you came back now. If you came back early, you would have missed. We also just came back."
"What's wrong, Su Su? What medicine did you all look for?"
Oh right, A Luo, where have you been all this time? You came from the Southern Wilderness, and you don't even know the local customs and customs of the Central Plains. I can see that A Luo's condition isn't too bad. Looks like he hasn't encountered any big difficulties during this period.
