Chapter 307: Strange Changes Occur

After the final details of the statues were perfected, Lin Feng immediately brought these three statues into Xinglong Ling to start the fusion ritual.

After the fusion ritual array was set up, the three Zai Gui suppressed in the Shadow Gui Domain were released by him directly.

At the same time, Tou Gui was also called out by Lin Feng. In case any changes occurred, Tou Gui could make repairs at any time.

"Later, if the statue develops cracks, you just go ahead and stitch them up. Don't come and ask me again, lest the gaps widen!"

Although after the last test, Black Steel accommodating Zai Gui was not a problem, he was afraid of any accidents. Now, Lin Feng didn't have more time to prepare the next batch of statues.

"Mm, I've noted it!"

Seeing Lin Feng's instructions were so solemn, Tou Gui nodded and agreed immediately. Afterward, the fusion ritual began. Accompanied by a large amount of Gui blood beginning to spread to the statues and Zai Gui, the two were quickly pulled together by thousands of blood threads to fuse.

Lin Feng was no longer unfamiliar with this process. As the two gradually overlapped, the Guiyi began to merge into the statue, and the large number of talismans carved on the statue officially began to operate, making the entire statue gradually possess a certain special majesty from its original dead state.

The three statues needed to undergo three fusion rituals. Except for the statue in the middle having a slight problem, the other two statues were very smooth.

During the fusion process of the middle statue, it was unknown if there were already cracks, but halfway through the fusion, the cracks suddenly began to widen and spread. Fortunately, Tou Gui was prepared in advance; as soon as the cracks appeared, she immediately took action to use blood threads to forcibly stitch the cracks together.

"Fortunately, there were only two cracks, and the problem is not serious. Although it can't compare to the other two, using it for a period of time is not a problem!"

After the statue fusion was completed, Lin Feng determined the situation after a careful inspection. It had to be said that there was no such thing as a one-hundred-percent success rate in making statues.

After all, no one could guarantee that there were no tiny cracks inside the stone. Sometimes, don't look at the exterior being intact; the interior might have long been full of cracks.

Facing these materials from the Yinjian, even using Guiyi power might not necessarily detect the problem.

"Click, click, click."

After the statues were completed, Lin Feng didn't hesitate and directly opened the Gui Gate to let the heavy-armored Zhiren send these statues and the completed talisman plates to the military camp.

With these statue arrays, Lin Feng's planning for the Zhiren army could be considered generally completed.

As for equipping every heavy-armored Zhiren soldier with Gui-weapons, shields, or carrying out further reinforcement and modification, it was currently being handled by the Gui Tie Jiang Ren.

"Bang!"

After closing the Gui Gate, Lin Feng praised Tou Gui, and then began to busy himself with other things.

——————

In Youzhou, a corpse-collecting Zhiren under Lin Feng, leading several apprentices, was driving a donkey cart slowly along the official road toward another town.

"Creak~ creak~"

Sitting on the donkey cart and listening to the cart frame making a teeth-aching sound, several apprentices couldn't help but worry about whether this donkey cart could hold out until the next town.

If the cart wheel broke halfway, they would have to walk in this icy and snowy land themselves.

"Master, why don't we take turns getting off and following the donkey cart?"

Among these apprentices, a young girl felt sorry for the donkey and the cart, so she couldn't help but say this to the corpse-collecting Zhiren.

In this day and age, having a beast of burden in the family was something to be treated like a treasure. Orphans like them who were originally homeless understood this point even more.

"Click, click."

The corpse-collecting Zhiren heard her say this, thought about it, and nodded in agreement.

Soon, several people jumped off the donkey cart directly, stomping their somewhat stiff feet while following the donkey cart on the official road without a single soul in sight.

"Master, logically speaking, even in the middle of winter, there shouldn't be not a single shadow in Youzhou. Could it be that something happened ahead?"

Walking and walking, one of the apprentices who looked somewhat frail suddenly stopped, and then spoke to the corpse-collecting Zhiren who was still burying his head in walking.

This apprentice was named Zuo Qianyuan. His birth was much better compared to ordinary families, so he was the only one among the apprentices who had been to a private school, belonging to the type with a relatively good brain.

Ever since they entered the territory of Youzhou along the official road, they hadn't met a single person. At this time, he gradually noticed something wrong.

"Could it be that Youzhou has fallen into chaos?"

"That shouldn't be. Before coming, we had inquired, and there was no war here."

"Hard to say. Yesterday, I heard several martial arts heroes say that Xuzhou had fallen into chaos, and there were even immortals fighting in the sky. It was earth-shattering!"

"..."

Following Zuo Qianyuan's opening, other apprentices who had been stifled for the whole journey also guessed one after another. Afterward, their topic drifted further and further away, finally arriving at the philosophical question of who was the most powerful in the world today.

These guys were originally orphans with no relatives. Ever since they were taken as apprentices by the corpse-collecting Zhiren, they either practiced martial arts or collected corpses together every day. They had only heard a lot about things in the world.

However, just as they were arguing about this question, a figure suddenly appeared ahead. I saw that person in a vast expanse of ice and snow, still bare-chested and disheveled.

"Master, it seems there is someone!"

That female apprentice had sharp eyes and saw the figure in the distance, so she shouted at the corpse-collecting Zhiren.

Because they often traveled everywhere, they were used to staying vigilant. At this time, discovering such a strange figure, others quickly looked into the distance.

"Hiss~ running around bare-chested in this snowy weather, are they really not afraid of freezing to death?"

"Xiaohu, you invite the Ancestor to possess you and go over to take a look. Someone daring to wander outside in this ghostly weather is probably not human!"

"Alright!"

Other apprentices hurriedly reacted. One of them, who looked young but had a very strong body, directly took out a God-Inviting Talisman, lit it, and then, holding a hard wooden stick, approached the figure in a few leaps.

However, the next moment, the figure that had been swaying suddenly erupted, rushing toward this apprentice with a ferocious face like a corpse-change.

"Take this stick!!"

"Bang!"

However, the next moment, this figure was directly knocked flying. With the power of Xi Gui possessing him, Xiaohu now had endless strength!

"Master! Senior Brother! This is not human, it's a corpse-change. This thing is about to become a Gui-slave!"

However, after knocking the figure flying with one strike, he didn't pursue the victory, but turned his head and shouted to the rear. Hearing him say this, the others immediately became vigilant.

Being able to encounter a corpse that had undergone corpse-change on such an official road where there was no village in front and no shop behind, the only explanation was that there was likely a serious Gui-disaster ahead!

"Master, what should we do?"

"Why don't we turn back now?"

"No, don't forget what we came here for!"

"Exactly, there are corpses ahead, Master definitely won't leave."

"..."

The corpse-collecting Zhiren stood in the wind and snow, looking at the distance without any movement. In fact, he had already transmitted this situation to Lin Feng. ===== CHAPTER 308 =====
