Chapter 1358

Old Zhang? Old Zhang!

This time it went very smoothly; the moment he saw Honglin nod, Cheng Shi jumped down, falling straight from under the bridge into the corpse field.

Last time he came, he was full of shock, his attention was entirely attracted by the endless rolling corpses of gods, and in his fear, he didn't even deeply feel what "death" was; but this time, not knowing if he was infected by the disappearance of the Gravekeeper, during the fall, Cheng Shi actually felt a trace of the aura of 【Death】.

That real sense of death lingered in his heart, unable to be dispelled, making Cheng Shi's face unusually solemn.

The God Corpse Field seemed to have undergone some changes, and a rich power of 【Death】 permeated everywhere.

But why would there be the power of 【Death】 here? The death here should have nothing to do with 【Death】.

Any abnormality is a precursor to danger; Cheng Shi, who noticed something wrong, steadied his body, stopped suddenly during the fall, and quietly swam towards the edge of the corpse field.

He didn't come to take risks, but to find something.

The most "valuable" thing in the God Corpse Field should be that divine throne pieced together by someone; since the divine throne had already been put into Cheng Shi's pocket, what was he looking for this time?

The answer is simple; since he is in the corpse field, naturally he is here to find... corpses!

That's right, Cheng Shi is here to collect the corpses of gods!

He is not collecting the corpses of gods to replicate an identical divine throne, but to conduct a crazy experiment; he wants to use this experiment to verify what he is thinking, and the materials for this experiment are right in front of him!

Cheng Shi carefully touched the edge of the corpse pit; he would not go deep into danger this time, just taking some corpses back from the edge area would be enough to complete the purpose of this trip.

So Cheng Shi was unusually steady; he confirmed again and again that there was no movement around, cautiously approached a god's body, and carefully touched the broken arm of the puppet... but just as he was about to pick up the package, a terrifying aura of 【Death】 erupted from the broken arm without warning, directly wrapping him.

Cheng Shi's face changed drastically, his pupils shrank, and he snapped his fingers for the first time, but he didn't trace back to his previous position, but turned into smoke on the spot, emerging from the rich aura of 【Death】.

It was this process that made Cheng Shi discover that this aura of 【Death】 was extremely strange; it was not fatal, not the aggressive means he imagined, but seemed more like a signal!

When the signal was triggered, a series of chain reactions began.

He saw the corpses of gods circling the edge of the corpse pit suddenly tremble in unison, and then there seemed to be a sound of tides in the abyss deep in the corpse pit, as if some force pushed a wave of air to gush out, bringing a shocking explosion to the entire corpse field.

"Gods... annihilation..."

Although this terrifying sound wave only lasted for one breath, it was enough to scare any life that broke into this place to collapse and flee, not to mention that the momentum of the sound wave had not ended; after the abyss in the corpse pit was silent for a moment, the sound of waves surged again!

Ordinary intruders who heard this, those who still had the strength to run, had basically disappeared.

But!

Cheng Shi is not here for the first time!

He knew where this sound came from; it wasn't some unknown existence at all, but the sound of dead objects made when the airflow washed over the divine throne!

So he was just shocked, but not panicked.

But the problem is, wasn't that divine throne that could make sound already taken away by himself!?

Why is this sound still here?

What's even stranger is, what's going on with the trembling of the gods' corpses at the edge of the corpse pit and this wave-like air current? He only slightly touched a remnant corpse, why could it trigger such a big movement?

Not only that, from the aura of 【Death】 just now to the chain reaction right now, this series of strange changes always gave Cheng Shi a familiar illusion; he always felt that he had experienced it somewhere.

But why would he have this feeling?

Cheng Shi frowned, the more he thought about it, the stranger it became, and at this moment, the second wave of air gushed out, exploding in the corpse field again.

"Universe... disintegration..."

Such a loud noise didn't look like a natural phenomenon, but more like someone was doing it on purpose.

But this sound concerns the secret of the divine throne; who would be so "widely known"?

Besides, this terrifying noise scared people away, so how could...

"!!!"

Wait!

Is it possible that this is not widely known at all, but scaring them away!

Is someone using this air wave to scare away outsiders!?

It's just that he had heard this sound, so he wasn't that afraid; if it were other outsiders, they should have run away long ago under this movement!

Cheng Shi was shocked and immediately realized that there was a high possibility that another person still existed in the corpse pit at this time!

A person who came earlier than himself and completed the intimidation trap here first!

Who would this person be?

Another himself?

Doesn't seem right!

Death, trigger, reaction, trap...

Cheng Shi, whose shock was mixed with chaos, had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and finally remembered why this feeling was so familiar.

Isn't this the mechanism in Old Zhang's cemetery!?

The many reactions in this corpse field were very similar to the defense mechanism in the Gravekeeper's cemetery at that time!

Just thinking of this, Cheng Shi noticed someone approaching behind him, but he froze and didn't move; the next second, a scalpel glowing with ghostly light was placed on the back of his neck.

An extremely familiar voice came faintly from behind.

"Fate Weaver, you are too unsteady."

At that moment, Cheng Shi's brain went boom and exploded.

"Old... Old Zhang!?"

Cheng Shi didn't even dare to look back, even though he felt that familiar aura, he didn't dare to confirm it; he was afraid that this was an illusion after hearing the bad news.

This is the Real Universe, and he is in the God Corpse Field; it's not strange for anything to happen here, so he didn't dare to be certain who the Zhang Jizu behind him was.

Zhang Jizu was the same; even if the Fate Weaver was really in front of him, he didn't know which world's Fate Weaver this was.

So he didn't answer.

But it was this moment of silence that confirmed to Cheng Shi that the other party was definitely a Gravekeeper.

Regardless of which world's Gravekeeper he was, the identity was correct, and that was enough!

Why isn't the Gravekeeper guarding the grave in the cemetery, and what is he doing here?

At that moment, an inexplicable emotion suddenly rushed to his forehead; Cheng Shi felt the coldness on the back of his neck, sneered, and hit backward with his head without warning; he seemed prepared to use his fragile neck to compete with the cold scalpel tip for hardness.

At the same time, he cursed in his mouth:

"Not steady, right! Gravekeeping, right! Burying gods, right!?"

"Screw you!"

"Is this your cemetery that you just came here!?"

"And you set up a magic array!"

"Who told you to come? You came here, what about the original cemetery!?"

"Why, is someone else's cemetery better to guard, or did you find that you couldn't find your way home?"

Cheng Shi's "suicide attack" had no effect; Zhang Jizu instantly pulled away the scalpel and hit Cheng Shi's shoulder with the handle, making him turn around.

Those narrowed eyes almost narrowed into a slit when he saw Cheng Shi's complex eyes; he stepped back half a step and nodded with an equally complex expression:

"Yes, I really can't find my way home..."

"......"

No-prize quiz: can the Gravekeeper go home for the weekend? Heh~
