Start as a Temple Spirit

Chapter 150: The Floating Corpse

Soon, when they walked into the remaining water of the cave, they saw Heizi, who was lying on a stone pillar, looking bored. They also learned from him the reason why he came to the dark place.

In order to prevent Heizi from feeling lonely, Yishui asked the local militiamen to build a temporary camp outside the cave entrance. Just like the last time they purified the Yin land, they hunted and waited at the same time.

In the green cave, after Yishui and Heizi exchanged some gestures, he looked at the two bird-shaped shadows that were faintly visible under the phosphorescent light, and turned to the latter and said, "Heizi, wait patiently. I'm leading the team to collect herbs. If you're bored, go to the camp outside the cave and play with the wolf cubs."

"Haha" Heizi nodded in response.

"Then I'll get busy." Yishui said this and turned around and left. This gloomy cave made him feel very uncomfortable.

Heizi took a look at his two younger brothers who were attracting Yin Qi and Phosphorus Fire, and decided to go out and play with the wolf cubs for a while before coming back to check the situation.

With a flap of its wings, Heizi's figure whistled, and he came from behind and landed on the shoulder of Yishui who was walking out.

Yishui, who was used to it, turned his head to look at Heizi and said helplessly: "Heizi, don't appear suddenly like this all the time, it will scare people to death."

The "crackling" sound of Heizi echoed in the cave.

In the temporary camp outside the cave, the militiamen were ready to go, waiting for the arrival of the remaining water.

"Awoo..." The howls of young wolves rang out one after another. Nearly three hundred wolf cubs surrounded the hunting dogs, asking for milk.

But when they saw the black spots flying out of the cave, they were scared and screamed, and ran towards the tent happily.

I really don't know what Heizi did to it.

The local militiamen couldn't help but cheer up when they saw this, and they started to greet Heizi one after another. With Heizi around, the temporary camp was safer than the underground camp.

It was raining heavily, the sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder were flashing, and lightning roared across the night sky. Someone was struck by lightning again.

"The thunder and lightning are quite fierce tonight." Yi Jin murmured as he watched the lightning striking the rock peak fiercely.

"It's a thunderstorm day. Isn't it a bit too much rain this year?" Yang Chao said while looking at the heavy rain.

"That's true." Yifeng nodded and confirmed that there was indeed more rain this year than in previous years.

"This is the point. The point is that Liangshan was struck by lightning, but he's really okay." Yijiu was speechless.

You guys are so careless! Our people are being struck by lightning.

"Of course it's okay. People in Liangshan are used to being beheaded." Yijin said as a matter of course.

"The problem is that Hanzi was also dragged away by the small cube and struck by lightning." Yijiu expressed his concerns.

"It's okay. Hanzi is thick-skinned and tough. He and Xiaofangkuai are hiding in the rock peaks. The lightning can't hit them." Yifeng was not worried at all.

It is said that after Hanzi practiced the Earth Spirit inheritance technique, he awakened the earth escape ability and was able to communicate with the little cube without any obstacles, so they became good friends.

Since they are good friends, Little Cube would naturally drag Hanzi along for such a good thing as being struck by lightning.

After hearing this, Yijiu didn't know what to say for a moment.

The sound of "Da Da Da" was heard, and Yibao ran into the temple guard camp in the rain, saying in a hurry: "First Elder, Second Elder, Uncle Jiu, Brother Chao, something happened!"

"Don't worry, tell me in detail what happened." Yifeng stood up and said.

He really does not say what he means.

"A lot of corpses were found floating downstream." Yibao said after calming himself down.

"What?" Yi Jin, Yi Jiu and Yang Chao stood up suddenly upon hearing that.

"Do you know the age, attire, and injuries of the floating corpse?" Yifeng asked in a deep voice.

These three points can preliminarily determine the identity of the floating corpses and what they encountered.

"The floating corpses stuck on the floating bridge are all young men wearing leather armor. The wounds are from claws, and there are two bloody holes on their necks."

"Claw wound? There are two bloody holes on the neck?" Yifeng repeated it, his face turning ugly.

"Are the claw marks black?" Yijiu asked.

"That's true. It might contain corpse poison." Yibao nodded.

On the way there, he reviewed the injuries of the floating corpse and confirmed his initial guess.

The discovery of the floating corpse was accidental. Due to heavy rain, the river water rose, so Yibao led a team to pull the rope to increase the height of the floating bridge.

A wave came and threw several objects that looked like human bodies onto the floating bridge.

At first, Yibao and his companions thought it was a dead tree and did not pay much attention to it. It was not until they raised the floating bridge and returned with lanterns that they realized it was not a dead tree at all, but a floating corpse.

The alert was immediately raised to full throttle, and under the illumination of the Yuanling Lamp, corpses were seen floating up and down in the turbid river water.

After Yibao briefly checked the floating corpse, he had a bad idea in his mind.

He immediately ordered the hunting team to retrieve the bodies, keep an eye on the floating corpses and be careful of the corpses, and then rushed to the mountain village, and this scene happened.

"This is a big trouble." Yijiu said with a grim expression.

"Let's salvage the floating corpse and burn it first to prevent it from metamorphosing. We can talk about other things tomorrow." Yifeng made the decision.

"Okay." Yi Jin and others nodded, put on rain gear, and went to gather people to retrieve the bodies.

It was raining heavily and figures were moving along the river bank. People were holding Yuanling lanterns and carrying bamboo poles, searching for floating corpses to salvage.

"Roar" sounded like the roar of a wild beast, first sounding upstream.

Yi Jin, who was in charge of leading the team to salvage floating corpses upstream, heard the sound and his face turned ugly. The corpse transformation had finally happened.

"Second Elder, we have figured out the origin of the floating corpse." A militiaman came running in the rain.

"Speak." Yi Jin asked loudly. He was in a very bad mood at the moment.

"It's a hunting team." The militia replied loudly.

"Damn, what a shitty hunting team! I think they are tomb robbers and they dug up zombies." Yi Jin cursed.

Such things happened frequently in the Shiwandashan Mountains.

It is no secret that some people, under the guise of hunting teams, commit tomb-robbing in the Shiwanda Mountains.

You can rob tombs if you want, and it would be fine if you dig up zombies, but you should die far away. Why die upstream? This is really unlucky.

"The great elder said the same thing." The local militiaman said in a low voice.

"Damn it." Yi Jin couldn't help cursing again and ordered, "Keep your eyes open, don't get bitten or scratched by the zombies, or you'll be steamed together with the sticky rice."

"Second Elder, there is no glutinous rice in our village." Someone muttered in a low voice.

"Then prepare to be bled and tied up like a dumpling." Yi Jin said unhappily.

Now the militiamen didn't dare to speak and became alert with full concentration. They didn't want to be bitten or scratched by the zombies, otherwise the consequences would be serious.

In the brightly lit bamboo shed, there were constant roars. The zombies, who were tied up like bamboo buns and had their limbs broken, moved like insect pupae, and emitted terrifying roars from their mouths.

Yifeng took a look at the dozen or so zombies and said to the guard, "Shitou, cut some sticks and stuff their mouths."

"Yes." Shi Tou, who was upset by the roar, brightened his eyes when he heard this and sent someone to carve a wooden stick.
