Chapter 2365: Zombie Monster

The water snake immediately lowered its head, dodging Long Nv's gaze.

Under Long Nv's pressure, it couldn't even exert twenty percent of its strength.

If it dared to be arrogant before Long Nv, it would be torn apart in an instant.

The water snakes thrashing in the water all sank to the bottom in an instant, desperately burrowing their heads into the silt at the lakebed.

"Roar!"

Long Nv let out a low, muffled roar.

The water snake king kept nodding, then dove into the water and dared not surface again.

Afterward, Long Nv landed beside Ye Liuyun, took Ye Liuyun and the Song Girl, and directly crossed the great lake to the opposite shore.

"I told them to do their best to block the martial cultivators and soldiers behind us!"

Long Nv then transformed into human form and told Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun also stored her in the Space World, and continued forward with the Song Girl.

Here, they already smelled a strong stench of blood.

This made Ye Liuyun and the Song Girl wonder whether the red liquid seeping from the cliff wall was really blood.

Along this stretch they encountered no further danger, and they smoothly reached the base of the Fatal Cliff.

The land beneath the Fatal Cliff had already been dyed red by the blood‑red liquid.

At this point Ye Liuyun and the Song Girl also confirmed that this liquid was indeed blood.

However, the blood here showed no signs of drying up.

Ye Liuyun tried a soaring leap, but he flew low and kept sinking as he went forward, forcing him to return immediately.

"As expected, there is a flight‑restriction here!"

Ye Liuyun told the Song Girl.

"Then what should we do?"

"Should we just climb up?"

The Song Girl looked up, but could see no end.

"Howl!"

At that moment, a strange howl came from the cliff wall.

Ye Liuyun couldn't tell which cave it came from.

But from the sound, he was certain it was a monster he had never seen before.

Ye Liuyun thought, then took out a flying swallow.

"Let's not risk climbing directly; let's try this!"

"Good!"

The Song Girl also immediately agreed.

She didn't want to roll around in piles of blood.

Besides, she would have to climb that high.

Ye Liuyun brought the Song Girl aboard the flying swallow, loaded a large amount of Divine Crystals into his Storage Ring, and connected it to the flying swallow.

He then activated the protective shield, piloted the flying swallow, and shot straight upward.

The flight‑restriction pressure here was indeed great; the flying swallow straining against it upward caused its speed to drop drastically, far below what it could achieve in the Xingkong.

But it could at least reach the speed of an ordinary flying boat, so flying up this cliff was absolutely no problem.

As the flying swallow surged upward and swept past the cave mouth, Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil scanned it and discovered the monsters inside.

These monsters were like zombies, their flesh and blood blurred all over.

They lay in pools of accumulated blood inside the cave, absorbing the blood's power.

Their limbs resembled those of apes, suited for climbing, and they bore sharp claws.

As the flying swallow swept past the cave, it also caught their attention, and they all came out to investigate.

After spotting the flying swallow, some of the monsters, like apes, sprinted up the cliff wall in pursuit.

However, their speed could not match the flying swallow's; after chasing for a while they returned to their own caves.

Ye Liuyun also controlled the flying swallow to stop before a cave, keeping a certain distance from it, with the Energy Cannon's muzzle aimed at the cave entrance.

The monsters inside the cave all rushed out, and Ye Liuyun could see them more clearly; their appearance was actually more human‑like.

However, they had no skin, with flesh and blood exposed.

Some of the monsters even exposed their bones.

At the cave mouth, they bared their sharp teeth at Ye Liuyun.

Judging by the shape of their teeth, they resembled fierce beasts more.

Ye Liuyun immediately had the flying swallow open fire; the Energy Cannon shot a beam of White Light at those monsters, blasting the few at the cave entrance into flying flesh and blood.

The monsters inside, however, were not afraid of death, all howling as they rushed out.

But they were still some distance from Ye Liuyun; obviously they dared not leap over, merely crawling out of the cave mouth onto the cliff wall and howling at Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun then used the Energy Cannon again to launch an attack, smashing those monsters one by one.

Those monsters finally could not tolerate Ye Liuyun's provocation and leapt at his flying swallow.

But they were immediately crushed by the flight‑restriction force here, slammed down onto the cliff and shattered to pieces.

Ye Liuyun learned a bit about these monsters, didn't linger, and piloted the flying swallow to continue charging upward.

The remaining monsters chased for a while, then also retreated back into the cave.

"What's inside the cave?"

The Song Girl was still rather curious.

The space‑blocking force here is too strong.

Unless we pilot the Flying Swallow into the cave, we simply cannot get through.

Ye Liuyun didn't want to take the risk; he prepared to first go to the mountaintop to have a look before deciding.

The Flying Swallow also maintained its speed as it flew toward the mountaintop.

Suddenly, some monsters appeared above them, actually jumping out, and under the pressure of the space‑blocking force, they hurled themselves at the Flying Swallow.

Fortunately, Ye Liuyun had activated the protective shield in advance; the monsters were bounced off and then fell down.

Moreover, some monsters picked up stones and threw them at Ye Liuyun and the others.

Thus Ye Liuyun had no choice but to let the Flying Swallow move a little away from the cliff wall, after which the monsters gave up.

Because even the stones were equally affected by the space‑blocking pressure, they were forced to fly downward.

"It seems these monsters still possess some intelligence!"

Ye Liuyun thought to himself.

"The mountaintop won't all be these kinds of monsters, will it?"

The Song Girl asked worriedly.

"I hope not!"

Ye Liuyun replied in a sentence, and he also didn't hope to be proven right by the Song Girl.

As the Flying Swallow went higher, its speed slowed, indicating that the space‑blocking pressure above was increasing.

Fortunately, Ye Liuyun and the others had already broken through the clouds and saw the mountaintop.

When Ye Liuyun and the others reached the mountaintop, they were immediately dumbfounded; there truly were not a few monsters gathered here.

"You jinx! You actually hit the mark!"

Ye Liuyun said, while also controlling the Flying Swallow to launch a bombardment at those monsters.

This time he was farther away, so no matter how those monsters threw stones, they couldn't hit them.

However, the Flying Swallow's attacks were not affected by the space‑blocking pressure, and it quickly slaughtered all the monsters on the mountaintop.

Ye Liuyun piloted the Flying Swallow, circling the mountaintop, and discovered a tunnel there leading down the mountain.

The Song Girl also saw that tunnel and asked worriedly, "Are all the caves here connected?"

"Quite possible!"

Ye Liuyun also thought it very likely, and he controlled the Flying Swallow to land on the mountaintop.

After stowing the Flying Swallow, Ye Liuyun and the Song Girl also took out their weapons, preparing for battle.

"Is Marquis Wanwei not playing with us?"

"We still haven't seen any treasure!"

The Song Girl complained, "This kind of cliff—if we didn't have the Flying Swallow, who could climb up?"

Bloodwater is everywhere here; no matter how carefully she walked, her shoes were instantly soaked.

"Maybe the good stuff is inside this deadly cliff!"

Ye Liuyun, however, was pondering whether the primordial power of this secret realm might be inside this cliff.
