Chapter 195: Inside the Corpse-Floating Cave

Seeing their master beckoning to them, Wang Wu and Daniu hurriedly ran over to keep up with the pace of the paper army.

Once they got closer, they could see more clearly that the heavy-armored paper soldiers beside them were all identical, and the eerie pressure emanating from them made them tremble.

Undoubtedly, these soldiers were extremely powerful, even more formidable than some of the Guiyi they had encountered before!

Walking in the middle of the paper army, they finally felt much more at ease. Even though the Corpse-Floating Cave was ahead, they believed that with these soldiers and the Ancestor Master summoned by their master, they would be safe!

"Disciple Wang Wu pays respects to the Ancestor Master!"

"Disciple Daniu pays respects to the Ancestor Master!"

These two were quite clever; after arriving beside the Corpse-Gathering Zhiren, they immediately bowed respectfully to the Qianmian Zhi Gui. If the occasion hadn't been inappropriate, they might have even prepared to kowtow.

"Click, click."

Unfortunately, the Qianmian Zhi Gui didn't react to their actions. The Corpse-Gathering Zhiren waved at them and then continued to advance toward the Corpse-Floating Cave.

"Is the Ancestor Master unhappy?"

Daniu followed behind and asked Wang Wu with concern.

"Shut up, the one in front is probably just an incarnation of the Ancestor Master. We've heard that truly powerful figures all live in the heavens; if you want to invite them to descend to the mortal world, you can only invite an incarnation at most!"

Wang Wu didn't know what myth he was thinking of, but he glared at Daniu and spoke with great authority.

"Hiss~"

However, Daniu believed his words deeply and gasped in shock.

Just as the two were whispering, the Corpse-Floating Cave was already close at hand. I saw a deep, dark river slowly flowing out from the cave ahead.

At first glance, this place was a dead end surrounded by mountains on three sides, with towering rock walls and only a thin sliver of light falling from a small area overhead.

The surrounding rocks were black, and the permeating mist shrouded everything, so they only saw the true situation here when they reached the cave entrance.

"M-Master, there's no road ahead. How are we supposed to get in?"

At this time, the paper army also stopped. To enter the interior of the Corpse-Floating Cave, they had to go into the water, but the thought of the situation in the water made Wang Wu's scalp tingle.

"Click, click."

The Corpse-Gathering Zhiren glanced at him, then the Qianmian Zhi Gui waved its hand, and instantly, a large amount of paper appeared out of thin air, continuously spreading forward.

These papers continuously folded and deformed, eventually turning into a solid road, which then covered the dark river like a bridge built in the void, extending all the way into the interior of the cave.

"Click, click, click."

After this special road was completed, the paper army stepped onto it and officially began to enter the interior of the cave.

Wang Wu and Daniu immediately followed. It had to be said that the Qianmian Zhi Gui's ability was indeed useful; even though it was just a paper road made casually, stepping on it felt like stepping on real ground.

"Whoosh~"

However, as soon as the two followed the paper army into the interior of the cave, a strong, icy cold wind blew toward them.

This cold wind was bone-chilling, and the wind was mixed with a special stench, making people feel terrified.

"Click, click."

At this time, the Corpse-Gathering Zhiren casually took out two lanterns and handed them to the two. Soon, the lanterns were lit, and the situation inside the Corpse-Floating Cave was revealed to everyone in the dim light.

Except for being a bit damp, there was nothing special at the cave entrance, but the interior of the cave was pitch black and bottomless.

The dim light could barely illuminate the surroundings; they couldn't even see the paper army walking in front.

"Click, click."

As they went deeper, the cave became colder, and the surrounding environment began to become dangerous and eerie.

The heavy-armored paper soldiers walking in front to clear the way would suddenly pull out their blades and hack at the surroundings. Sometimes, before they could even see what had happened, several heavy-armored paper soldiers had already rushed out.

"Ding, ding~ clang~"

"Puchi!"

Then, a series of intense fighting sounds erupted. Not long after, only a few heavy-armored paper soldiers returned, carrying severed limbs.

In such a deep, dark cave, any movement was infinitely magnified, and the slightest sound would make the two holding the lanterns terrified.

The Corpse-Gathering Zhiren was quite busy now. On one hand, it had to observe the situation in the cave, and occasionally it could see corpses stuck on the rocks inside the cave.

Naturally, it had to put these corpses directly into the corpse-wrapping bag and take them away. However, these corpses, which had been dead for who knows how many years, were all cold as iron, and the slightest disturbance would cause them to undergo a corpse transformation!

"Click!"

At this time, after the Corpse-Gathering Zhiren forcibly pulled down a corpse whose hair was wrapped around the top of the cave, the corpse indeed began to struggle desperately.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

However, the Corpse-Gathering Zhiren tied it into a zongzi in a few moves and then collected it directly into the corpse-wrapping bag. The whole process was as easy as pie.

As they went deeper into the Corpse-Floating Cave, the number of corpses around them clearly increased. These corpses looked varied and had different forms.

Some had half their bodies buried in the mud, some were stuck on the rock walls, and others had their hair or clothes tangled into a ball.

To get these corpses, besides the fact that they would undergo corpse transformation, the most critical thing was the Guiyi that would suddenly pop out in the cave.

From entering the cave until now, the paper army had already suppressed nearly thirty Gui. There were small Gui, big Gui, and fierce Gui, but so far, they hadn't seen any stronger ferocious Gui or disaster Gui.

"Master! We seem to have reached the end!"

Suddenly, Wang Wu, who was helping to collect corpses, noticed that the paper army in front had stopped moving, so he quickly came to the Corpse-Gathering Zhiren's side and said to it.

"Click, click."

Hearing him say this, the Corpse-Gathering Zhiren stopped its movements and then led them directly toward the front.

Arriving here, they finally saw that the dark river disappeared here. In front of them was only a damp cave, which looked more spacious than the previous area.

But at this time, the two paper generals acting as vanguards stood motionless in the cave, as if they had encountered some invisible wall.

Noticing this situation, the Corpse-Gathering Zhiren began to approach the front of the cave cautiously. Once it got closer, it saw a tilted stone tablet standing there.

The stone tablet was engraved with several characters that looked like living things, giving people a feeling that it was insurmountable.

"Forbidden Ground of the Corpse Lord, trespassers die!"

Upon seeing these eight characters, Wang Wu and Daniu instantly fell into a strong hallucination.

In their eyes, the stone tablet in front of them was a mountain of corpses. These corpses didn't know which dynasty they came from, piled up layer upon layer.

Filthy blood overflowed, corpse water flowed, and countless coffins were located on the corpse mountain. There was also a coffin at the very top of the corpse mountain, but they didn't dare to have any thoughts of peeking at it.

It was as if there was some unspeakable, terrifying existence in that coffin, and if they disturbed it, an unimaginable disaster would surely descend! ===== CHAPTER 196 =====
