Chapter 301: The Thousand-Year Corpse

In the cemetery, a massive force of thunder fell from the sky, crashing heavily onto the tombstones and emitting a deafening Thunder Sound.

Dust flew up and spread out.

After the smoke and dust dissipated, a deep pit appeared in the ground where the tombstone had originally stood.

Yingxiong Muyuan is about twenty kilometers away from Nantianmen Fortress, and the protective shield is not that far away.

Although most of the thunderbirds were attracted by Nantianmen Fortress, a small portion of the thunderbirds still passed through layers of obstacles and arrived here at Yingxiong Muyuan.

They hovered in the sky, emitting sharp eagle cries.

Several streaks of Thunder Light coiled around the thunderbirds' wings; as they flapped their wings violently, the Thunder Light fell from the sky.

They were attracted by the aftermath of the battle between the thunder sword and Dahui.

Bolts of lightning struck down from the sky like pythons.

Long was accidentally struck by the lightning, and at this moment, Ye Bai discovered that one-quarter of the Soul Puppet Thread on Long's body had actually snapped.

This proved that lightning-attribute attacks still had a partial restraining effect on Long.

Now is not the time for the Sunflower Emperor to use Holy Light, as the Corpse Speaker still has three coffins unopened and still looks like he has energy to spare.

This proves that the Corpse Speaker definitely has a backup plan; if Holy Light were used too early, it would surely alert the enemy.

Ye Bai's intention is to keep the Corpse Speaker here, rather than giving the Corpse Speaker a chance to escape.

In just a moment, the Soul Puppet Thread on Long's body condensed once again.

She violently unleashed a Dark Thrust, her body turning into a stream of light, and she appeared behind the thunderbird.

The black longsword pierced directly through the thunderbird's throat.

Many fine threads resembling blood vessels appeared on the longsword, which were absorbing the thunderbird's blood in large quantities.

Not long after, the thunderbird was sucked into a dried corpse, and the wounds that had appeared on Long from her battle with Guangming Nüshen Die healed at a speed visible to the naked eye after absorbing the blood.

During the battle, the thunder sword also chopped off the thunderbird's head, and a large amount of fresh blood was absorbed by the thunder sword's body.

His body erupted with even more Thunder Light.

With blood entering the corpse puppet's body, the speed of the blood parasite erosion clearly accelerated.

They were multiplying at a speed visible to the naked eye, subsequently taking control of the corpse puppet's body.

A blood-red bat, only the size of a palm, retracted its aura and hid in the shadows; it was secretly watching the battle and broadcasting the live scene to Xuemo Dubo.

The Blood Demon was lying on the Blood Bone Throne, and two Dark Night Blood Bats were flapping their wings, pouring the blood essence into the goblet in the Blood Demon's hand.

Du Bo was not very satisfied at this moment; for some reason this time, the blood of the Exotic Beast was flowing down very, very slowly.

"At this rate, when on earth will I be able to gather enough blood sacrifices to summon the Demon God?"

Du Bo frowned.

For Du Bo, this was not good news.

If he did not collect enough blood after this Exotic Beast war, he would very likely be liquidated by the human side.

There is a certain probability of failure in summoning a Demon God; the more blood energy there is, the greater the success rate of the summoning will be.

Thus, Du Bo summoned many blood bats for reconnaissance, and after a period of observation, he finally discovered the clue.

It turned out that the Exotic Beasts that drowned in the moat had actually been infected by Spore.

Their bodies stiffly crawled out of the moat and headed toward the Flame Leopard.

As a result, these overconfident fellows were burned to nothing by the raging fire before they could even get close to the Flame Leopard.

"Could it be that the Spore in Nantianmen Fortress has spread out?"

Spore absorbs the blood within the Exotic Beasts, which is the reason why no blood is flowing down.

Du Bo was so angry that he gritted his teeth; this was such a hindrance.

"Damn it, if I find out which bastard formulated this plan, after I summon the Blood Demon God, I will tear them into ten thousand pieces."

After the Blood Pool absorbed enough blood, at the request of the Sunflower Emperor, it drilled straight downward.

The Blood Flood Dragon could feel that the space below was filled with majestic energy.

As it got closer and closer to the Blood River, it heard the sound of crashing waves.

A drop of blood pierced the surface and dripped into the rushing, turbulent Blood River.

The dark red Blood River flowed turbulently underground, and the blood-red light reflected mottled light and shadows.

This long river of blood seemed to have no source and no end in sight.

The rusty smell of blood mixed with the damp earth, forming a suffocating odor.

The Blood Flood Dragon smelled this scent, but it found it sweet as honey.

It was like a big rat that had fallen into a rice granary.

My goodness, with so much blood energy, after absorbing it, I might even be able to reach Seven-Tier Peak.

The Blood Flood Dragon blinked its eyes and thought to itself.

The Blood Demon did not notice that the drop of blood falling from above was actually a disguise of the Blood Pool.

The Blood Pool dripped into the Blood River just like a drop of clear water merging into the sea.

It secretly sank its body to the very bottom of the Blood River, like a little mouse stealing lamp oil, swallowing the high-concentration blood essence bit by bit.

The fruits of Blood Demon Du Bo's hard work for so long were all taken advantage of by the Blood Pool.

If the Blood Demon knew, would he be angered to death on the spot?

The Blood Pool was openly absorbing the blood essence he had painstakingly collected for a long time right under the Blood Demon's nose.

The Blood Demon's face was gloomy and uncertain; plans cannot keep up with changes.

He had originally intended to quickly absorb enough blood to summon the Blood Demon God Gai Gaiyin while the Exotic Beasts were still attacking the city and the high-level officials of Yan Country had not yet noticed.

As a result, this wave of Beast Tide has only just launched an attack by the thunderbird flock, and the Flame Leopard is still slacking off on one side of the moat.

This wave of Exotic Beasts were all infected with Spore, so naturally, no blood could be squeezed out of their bodies.

At this moment, Xuemo Dubo was extremely anxious, yet he had no way to deal with the situation.

Daily information refresh.

【1. There is a Blood Core located at the chest of Xuemo Dubo; that is where his lifeblood lies. Only by shattering the Blood Core can you completely kill Xuemo Dubo. He is skilled in the Blood Clone Technique; the one before your eyes might not be the real one. The only difference is that the real Xuemo Dubo has a cowlick on his hair that refuses to be combed down no matter what.】

【2. The Corpse Speaker's secret weapon is inside the largest coffin. He excavated a Millennium Ancient Tomb and refined a zombie that had been absorbing the dragon vein for a thousand years without decaying and was about to ascend to immortality into his life-bound corpse. To suppress the zombie's consciousness, he also drove Soul-Suppressing Nails into the zombie's body. Before the zombie awakens, it is just like an ordinary object and can be moved away using Space Transfer.】

【3. When two light-attribute Exotic Beasts use Holy Light Shine simultaneously, there is a certain probability of triggering the skill Holy Light Heaven, which is the nemesis of dark-attribute Exotic Beasts.】

【4. The Thunder Bait configured by the Imperial Capital Research Institute cannot attract the attention of the Thunder Bird; instead, it will incite the Thunder Bird's anger. Using Heavenly Dew can attract the Thunder Bird.】

【5. The Flame Leopards do not want to fight; they only want to find a paradise where they can live securely. However, before the Flame Dragon Turtle wakes up, you must send the Flame Leopards into a large Secret Realm Space. They are also very interested in Heavenly Dew.】

This information served as a reminder to Ye Bai.

Time passed second by second; they had been fighting for an entire night, and it was about to be dawn.

The battle at Yingxiong Muyuan was still continuing.

Lei Jian's movements were becoming slower and slower, and finally, his body began to uncontrollably wave the thunder sword in his hand everywhere. Ye Bai knew that the blood parasites had already spread throughout Lei Jian's entire body.

"Strange, is it because I converted the corpse puppet on the spot?"

"Why is the corpse puppet out of control?"

The Corpse Speaker scratched his hair, secretly wondering what on earth had happened. It wasn't his first time converting a corpse puppet on the spot.

However, Lei Jian was the first high-level corpse puppet the Corpse Speaker had converted.

Moreover, Lei Jian possessed the thunder attribute, which would automatically weaken the Death God's curse. Could this be a manifestation of incompatibility? For instance, Lei Jian's hardware was very strong, but the software couldn't keep up at all.

Watching Lei Jian's movements become increasingly sluggish, to the point of even stopping there, Dahui did not initiate an attack.

After all, Lei Jian was a praiseworthy predecessor, a true heroic spirit who guarded the Yan Country.

Furthermore, his Soul was still within the body.

Taking advantage of the moment Lei Jian stopped, Ye Bai directly had the Ice Crystal Dragon use Absolute Freezing Qi to freeze Lei Jian's body into a massive block of ice.

Afterward, he waved his hand, and Lei Jian was sent into the Pet Beast Space by Ye Bai.

Seeing Lei Jian taken away by Ye Bai, the Corpse Speaker was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode.

His pitch-black eyes stared fixedly at Ye Bai, like two sharp blades.

Lei Jian was a corpse puppet he was very satisfied with; if cultivated well, he could even break through to the eighth rank. He couldn't just let him be taken away by Ye Bai like this.

At this time, the Corpse Speaker had already released three corpse puppets, but they were all held back by Zhang Lingxue's Guangming Nüshen Die, Poison Dragon Butterfly, and Dark King Butterfly.

Ye Bai also hadn't expected that Zhang Lingxue had actually upgraded the Dark Butterfly into a Dark King Butterfly.

The seventh-rank Dark King Butterfly could manipulate the power of Shadow to bind opponents.

The other two corpse puppets released by the Corpse Speaker were Lan, who held a long spear, and whose spear-wielding was truly imposing, wearing a set of silver armor, looking both beautiful and dashing.

The other was Lian, who held a magic wand and wore a mage outfit.

Her magic wand was a very special equipment-type Exotic Beast, and under Lian's manipulation, it could fire a large number of consecutive fireballs to attack enemies.

However, Lian was currently bound by the Dark King Butterfly, unable to move a muscle.

Long was trapped in place by the Guangming Nüshen Die using a Holy Light Barrier; no matter how much her Shadow Pierce attacked the barrier, it could not be broken.

Lan was trapped by the Poison Dragon Butterfly's Poison Breath.

At this time, beside the Corpse Speaker, there remained only a coffin made of Golden Phoebe Wood.

The Yin energy overflowing from the coffin made Ye Bai very wary.

However, Ye Bai had already thought of a way, which was to teleport this coffin directly thousands of meters underground.

Let the blood demon and the corpse puppet in the coffin fight like dogs.

At this moment, the coffin was gradually opened.

"Haha, this is my secret weapon, and also the life-bound Pet Beast I contracted."

"A corpse puppet made from a female corpse I discovered in a Millennium Ancient Tomb that was about to ascend to immortality."

"This corpse puppet retains her original strength."

With a bang, the coffin flew into the air and shattered in mid-air; thick Yin energy surged over like a tide.

The moonlight suddenly shone brightly, and a large amount of moon essence projected from the sky into the coffin.

She lay quietly in the Golden Phoebe Wood coffin, her red dress appearing particularly striking under the dim light.

Her cheeks were pale, lacking color, and her face was covered in weird blood-red talismans, two fangs protruding from...

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she still retained the liveliness and gentleness of her life.

The red dress softly covered her slender figure, the folds of the clothing like a blooming peony, enchanting and mysterious.

The gold thread embroidered on the dress shimmered in the moonlight; Ye Bai discovered that the embroidery was actually a mandala flower pattern.

Her hands were softly folded over her abdomen, and each of her crimson fingernails was ten centimeters long.

Ye Bai discovered that her head and limbs were all nailed with palm-length black nails.

Around the nails were connected a large number of black threads, and at the ends of these threads, five phantoms of the Death God actually appeared.

"You actually used so many Soul-Suppressing Nails to suppress her spirituality. It seems that once she wakes up, she will definitely not let you off."

Ye Bai smiled.

At this time, the Space Pelican had already set up a Space Barrier in the surrounding area.

It used all its space power to set up a Space Trap.

If it weren't for the Information System providing the hint, Ye Bai would never have dared to let the Space Pelican use Space Transfer.

Forcibly transferring would only have one result, which was that the Space Pelican would die as a result.

"Her name is Millennium Zombie."

"Impervious to blades and spears, water and fire, I also used many methods, and even dispatched the leader of the Death God Society, to suppress her."

"In order to control her, I even hammered dozens of Soul-Suppressing Nails into her body to suppress her consciousness."

The Corpse Speaker said frantically.

"She is my most perfect work of art."

"I can also refine you into such a perfect work of art."

Zhang Lingxue only felt a chill strike her, and goosebumps stood up all over her body.

She couldn't take it anymore, she couldn't take it anymore; this guy was too perverted.

Just as the Corpse Speaker was feeling smug, a trace of fresh blood suddenly overflowed from the corner of the Space Pelican's mouth.

The immense spatial power caused the Millennium Zombie to be teleported directly to the location of the Blood River.

Xuemo Dubo was humming a little tune and singing when, caught off guard, a huge coffin was thrown into the Blood River not far from him.

It splashed up a large amount of Blood Mist, and the Blood Demon was drenched from head to toe.

He blinked his eyes, stunned; what kind of thing had just passed by?

Bang.

The huge coffin floated up from the Blood River.

The Millennium Zombie opened her eyes.

The blood in the Blood River was being sucked into the Millennium Zombie's body at an extremely fast speed.

Her red dress appeared increasingly bright red.

The Millennium Zombie suddenly opened her eyes wide, and a roar like that of a wild beast issued from her mouth.

Her crimson pupils were filled with hatred for the living.

"What the hell, where did this zombie come from? Don't try to snatch control of the Blood River from me."

Xuemo Dubo was instantly extremely furious.

"Blood Demon Art: Blood Demon Awl."

Countless amounts of blood floated up from the Blood River, transforming into sharp awls one after another.

Seeing this, Du Bo waved his hand, and the awls flew out like a rainstorm of pear blossoms.

Just as they were about to pierce the Millennium Zombie's body, the coffin instantly burst open, and a black shadow flew into the air.

The Millennium Zombie flew into the air, and a large amount of blood surged into her body.

Black Soul-Suppressing Nails were forced out of her body one by one.
