C336 The strangeness of a mine

However, it did not affect Lin Hao's line of sight. Following a path that was diagonally downward from where they were digging the Essence Stone, and after walking for about two to three thousand meters, an extremely dense Elemental Energy appeared in the surroundings. Furthermore, there were many forks in the road as well.

Lin Hao's brows tightly knitted together. Out of the five paths that appeared in front of him, three of them had green corpse auras surging out.

This discovery was a good thing but also a bad thing for Lin Hao.

The good thing was that the large amount of Cadaveric Ghost Qi that he had found at the outermost area was not emitted by a single Cadaveric Ghost. In other words, the strength of the Cadaveric Ghost here was much weaker than what he had expected.

The bad part was that there were more than one Cadaveric Ghost here, and three of them could be confirmed. Once the Cadaveric Ghost awakened, that would be tricky!

At this time, Lin Hao had already activated his Sword Element s, covering his body's surface, to prevent his body from being exposed to the Cadaveric Ghost's Qi from causing any negative effects.

After choosing a path that emitted the aura of a Cadaveric Ghost, Lin Hao rushed in.

The mining time of the Essence Stone lode was still very short, so the fork in the road was not very long. Lin Hao only took a moment to reach the bottom, there was no longer any path to go forward, there was only a hard stone wall.

The Cadaveric Ghost's Qi could be emitted from the stone wall, Lin Hao determined that it was not far from the Cadaveric Ghost, thus he took out the Heavenly Marks Sword and hacked out.

With the sharpness of the Heavenly Marks Sword coupled with Lin Hao's incomparably pure Sword Element, the sword directly split the stone wall apart. Soon after, twenty-seven Level Six Treasure Sword rushed out, formed a Destiny Sword Formation, cut the stone wall, and with an extremely fast speed, opened up the road in front of them.

After around fifteen minutes, Lin Hao kept his Destiny Sword Formation.

He had already opened up a pathway that was around a hundred metres long. At the bottom of this passage, the Cadaveric Ghost Qi was so dense that even if one did not use the True Eye of Martial Arts, they would be able to see it clearly.

Lin Hao held onto the Heavenly Marks Sword tightly, then with his powerful Spiritual Force, he controlled the Sword Element to permeate the entire sword, and began to carefully excavate!

He dug another three meters.

The end of a wooden coffin appeared in front of Lin Hao.

The Cadaveric Ghost was inside this coffin.

Furthermore, it seems that the Cadaveric Ghost's appearance was not a coincidence, but something that he would do at any time.

This was because the material of this coffin was a thousand year old Yin Wood. This kind of thing was not suitable to be used as a coffin!

At this time, although Lin Hao was suspicious, he did not think too much about it. He gradually dug up the soil and rocks surrounding the coffin and then lightly stabbed his sword into the coffin lid.

The wrist holding the sword released force, causing the coffin's lid to be opened by Lin Hao.

A very dense Cadaveric Ghost Qi immediately rushed towards Lin Hao.

"Tssssssssss!"

Waves of white smoke emitted from Lin Hao's body. If he had not activated the Sword Element to protect his body in advance, he would have probably suffered a great loss!

The Sword Element would consume a lot of energy to resist the Cadaveric Ghost, but Lin Hao was not worried that he would not be able to continue using his power. After all, after the Battle Body had reached the small success stage, the speed at which his body could absorb the Elemental Energy would be extremely fast.

Just then, Lin Hao's gaze fell on the coffin.

Inside the coffin was the corpse of a medium-sized man who had been dead for who knows how many years. His skin was festering and thick water flowed from his body, giving off a disgusting stench.

One could even see countless maggots crawling about in that festering area.

The most peculiar thing was that the corpse's eyes were open and its mouth was open!

The pair of opened eyes flickered with a deep green light, and the teeth at the open mouth were all black and extremely sharp!

There were also sharp green nails on the ten fingers of his hands.

This, was the Cadaveric Ghost!

If it was anyone else, they would probably be shocked the moment they saw the Cadaveric Ghost.

However, Lin Hao had already fought with the Cadaveric Ghost before, so he was mentally prepared for it. He did not have much of an uncomfortable reaction, he held his breath, and did not let his life force affect the Cadaveric Ghost, then took a deep breath, and suddenly swung out his left hand!

The ten Life Strengthening Pills shot towards the Cadaveric Ghost's mouth!

At this moment, the life force in the Life Strengthening Pill was being affected, and the Cadaveric Ghost in the coffin woke up immediately. It made a low roar like that of a wild beast, and its body was about to shoot out!

But Lin Hao had already made his preparations, the moment the Cadaveric Ghost woke up, he thrusted the sword with his sword at its side. He pointed the sword several times in the air, and the Sword Qi turned into substance, pierced the Cadaveric Ghost's body, and nailed it back into the coffin. Then, the ten Life Strengthening Pills accurately fell into the Cadaveric Ghost's mouth!

The life force of the Life Strengthening Pill immediately dissolved, and it rampaged through the Cadaveric Ghost's body!

To an ordinary person, the Cadaveric Ghost that could replenish their life force was incomparably poisonous!

The Cadaveric Ghost's body began to struggle violently, and low roars could be heard incessantly.

As Lin Hao nailed the Cadaveric Ghost to the sword, the Sword Element's congealed sword also started to break one after another.

Because of this, he had no choice but to activate his Destiny Sword Formation and shot out three Level Six Treasure Sword s, piercing into the center of the Cadaveric Ghost's brows, chest, and lower abdomen respectively!

The three Level Six Treasure Sword s were tainted by the Cadaveric Ghost Qi and started to show obvious signs of corrosion. This showed just how powerful the Cadaveric Ghost Qi was.

Lin Hao took out another ten Life Strengthening Pills and threw them into the Cadaveric Ghost's mouth. After a good quarter of an hour, the Cadaveric Ghost inside the coffin finally stopped moving, and in the blink of an eye, it had turned into a puddle of pus. And Lin Hao's three Level Six Treasure Sword s, by this time, had already corroded to the point that they could no longer be used!

The price of using three sixth stage swords to settle a Cadaveric Ghost with Elemental Emperor Stage was still acceptable to Lin Hao.

After taking care of one Cadaveric Ghost, Lin Hao followed suit and took care of the other two.

In total, he had consumed sixty Life Strengthening Pills and paid the price of nine Level Six Treasure Sword.

After looking carefully, he did not see any more Cadaveric Ghost's Qi spreading out, but, he was standing at the bottom of the main path dug out from the Essence Stone's vein, staring at the stone wall in front of him, motionless, as if he was thinking about something!

He had a feeling that if he continued mining here, it would bring him even more trouble.

However, he wasn't sure what would happen if he continued digging.

He did not choose to continue taking risks, and cleared the path ahead to see what was going on. After pondering for a moment, without any clues, he turned and left the Essence Stone mine.

After exiting the cave, Lin Hao shot a signal arrow that Li Qianjue had given him before they left into the sky. Very quickly, Ouyang Zhengde brought his people and hurried over, and asked: "How is it?"

Lin Hao nodded and said: "We have already settled the three Cadaveric Ghost. We will talk about the rest when we return."

Ouyang Zhengde also understood the other meaning in Lin Hao's tone, thus he nodded his head and gave the order for the others to continue sealing the area within a thirty kilometer radius, then he and Lin Hao headed back towards the Freezing Sky Sect.
