Chapter 77 Xuan Ye’s Invitation

The cave was winding and rugged, with jagged rocks, and they had to keep an eye on the dangers that might be hidden in the dark, so the five people did not walk very fast.

Song Wen's heart suddenly jumped while he was walking, and his brows slightly frowned.

But in a flash, his brows were relaxed again, and he continued to move forward without attracting anyone's attention.

Just now, the beetle Gu he released found traces of zombies about 500 meters ahead.

But fortunately, according to the information sent back by the beetle Gu, there were only a dozen zombies ahead.

And their strength was not strong, about the same as that of a cultivator who had just entered the middle stage of Qi training, but the corpse poison on them was a bit troublesome, but for a corpse cultivator like Song Wen, this corpse poison would not have any effect.

After entering the underground cave, Song Wen found that the armored Gu worm was extremely useful here.

The armored Gu worm was originally good at hiding, and it was even more difficult to be detected in this dark cave full of corpse and ghost qi. The strong corpse and ghost auras well concealed the aura of the beetle Gu.

Here, the beetle Gu was like a dragon entering the sea, a tiger returning to the mountains, and it was like a fish in water.

The team moved forward for nearly 400 meters, and Xuan Ye, who was walking in front, finally discovered the existence of the zombies.

"Be careful, there are zombies." Xuan Ye reminded.

In fact, without him saying anything, Niu Ding and Zi Yi, who were also practicing Qi at the seventh level in the team, also discovered the existence of the zombies.

"Everyone, fight quickly and decisively, don't use large-scale spells, so as not to make too much noise and attract other zombies and ghosts."

After Xuan Ye finished speaking, he didn't see any movement, and a fierce ghost comparable to the sixth level of Qi training appeared in front of him.

The fierce ghost was more than two meters tall, with a burly body, wearing a tattered armor and holding a long sword, just like a veteran on the battlefield.

Lao Chun and Zi Yi each held a broken blade, intending to attack at close range.

Niu Ding exhaled two turbid air from his nose and mouth, and his muscles grew stronger. He continued to move forward with his bare hands. It was obvious that Niu Ding was a rare body-refining cultivator like Song Wen.

Song Wen pulled the corpse puppet beside him and completely hid his figure behind the corpse puppet. To be on the safe side, Song Wen released the corpse puppet after entering the cave.

General Ghost rushed into the group of zombies first.

The long knife in his hand seemed to be a solid entity, and he directly split a zombie in the middle, splitting it into two, and black unknown liquid immediately flowed all over the ground.

Niu Ding was much more violent. He quickly approached the zombie, and his big hand like a palm fan slapped the zombie's head. The zombie's head exploded immediately, black liquid splashed everywhere, and the body below the head fell to the ground, without any movement.

Lao Chun and Zi Yi's skills were obviously from the same inheritance. Both of them were very agile and fought directly in close combat. Like two agile leopards, they rushed directly into the group of corpses, and the daggers in their hands were like hunting snakes. They saw the opportunity and hit the zombies with one blow, piercing the most vulnerable heads of the zombies.

When Song Wen, who was hiding behind the corpse puppet, approached the zombies, the zombies were almost killed.

In order to prevent the other four people from thinking that they were slacking off, Song Wen controlled the corpse puppet and killed one of the few zombies.

The zombies had stiff limbs and were far less powerful than the corpse puppets. How could they beat the corpse puppets that were stronger and more agile?

The corpse puppet easily avoided the zombies' pounce and bite, then waved its left hand and easily pierced the zombies' chest.

The zombies whose chests were pierced did not lose their mobility. They took the opportunity to climb onto the shoulders of the corpse puppets with both hands and opened their mouths to bite the face of the corpse puppets that were close at hand.

The corpse puppet was not to be outdone and bit the neck of the zombies in return.

This scene made Song Wen, who was behind, stunned.

We are all from the same root, why are we so anxious to fight each other!

We are all dead bodies, strictly speaking, they are all zombies, why should the dead bodies embarrass the dead bodies.

Song Wen's eyes have been on the other zombies around him to prevent sneak attacks.

The speed of killing zombies by other people is much faster. Song Wen has not yet dealt with the first one, and there are no zombies standing on the scene.

Just when Song Wen thought that he had easily dealt with this group of zombies, suddenly, he felt the soil under his feet loosen, as if something was about to break out of the ground.

In Song Wen's surprised eyes, a zombie broke through the soil directly and jumped up from the ground.

Song Wen had noticed this zombie on the ground before. He thought it was just an ordinary corpse because half of its body was buried in the soil. In addition, the cave was already mixed with corpse qi, ghost qi and other turbid qi of heaven and earth. This zombie was lying on the ground motionless, and it was really hard to distinguish whether it was a corpse or a zombie.

The four people who had dealt with other zombies also noticed the changes on Song Wen's side.

The reactions of the four people were different.

Xuan Ye stood there with an indifferent expression, looking like he was just standing there watching.

Niu Ding was kind-hearted and wanted to come forward to rescue, but his speed seemed a bit slow.

Lao Chun wanted to throw the dagger in his hand to kill the zombie, but was stopped by Zi Yi with a cold look.

Facing the zombie that suddenly jumped up, Song Wen seemed to be at ease.

He bent his legs and lowered his body, and dodged the zombie's hands with sharp nails.

He hit the zombie's lower jaw with a hook punch with his right hand.

The zombie's head suddenly exploded like a fragile watermelon, splashing everywhere.

Except for Zi Yi who curled his lips and was a little unhappy, no one else showed much emotion about Song Wen's easy killing of the zombie.

"Let's go, and keep on going."

Next, they encountered two more waves of walking corpses and a group of ghosts. Fortunately, the walking corpses and ghosts they encountered were not very strong and their numbers were not large, so they were easily dealt with.

It is worth mentioning that along the way, there were many forks in the cave. If it weren't for Xuan Ye leading the way, Song Wen felt that even if he had a simple map obtained from the underground ghost market, he would easily have gone wrong.

Xuan Ye, who had been leading the way, suddenly walked up to Song Wen and said.

"Brother Guo Tao, there is a fork not far ahead. Niu Ding and I are going to take the left passage to the Snake Cave. Kong Chanmu and Forsythia Huang are both in the right passage."

Song Wen looked at Xuan Ye and said nothing.

Xuan Ye continued.

"I would like to invite brother Guo Tao to go with Niu Ding and me to get the snake scale fruit first, and then I will accompany you to get the empty cicada tree."

"Why me?" Song Wen asked doubtfully. He only had the sixth level of Qi training. If Xuan Ye wanted to find help, he should cooperate with Zi Yi and the two of them.

"If I read it correctly, Brother Guo Tao should be a body cultivator. I have already made a plan to remove the snake scale fruit, but I need the cooperation of the body cultivator. Originally, with Brother Niu Ding, I was 60% sure that I could get the snake scale fruit. If Brother Guo Tao is willing to go with him, I am 80% sure.”

Seeing that Song Wen did not immediately agree or refuse, Xuan Ye suddenly switched to voice transmission.

"Brother Guo Tao, you have to think carefully. If you insist on taking the empty cicada tree, you have to go alone with Ziyi and the other two."

While talking, Xuan Ye glanced at Ziyi intentionally or unintentionally.

What he was referring to was that there was a conflict between Song Wen and Zi Yi, and Song Wen's cultivation level was the lowest among the five. Without the intimidation of Niu Ding and Xuan Ye, there was no guarantee that Zi Yi would not take the opportunity to attack him. Song Wen took action.
