Vol 2 Chapter 57: Corpse king

The sound of water is faint, coming from the depths of the illusory darkness in front. When I first heard it, it seemed to be not far away. It was just walking, but the sound of water seemed to be blurred again, and it became clearer after a while. The sudden distance and nearness make people indistinguishable, and it seems extraordinarily weird, but the road at the foot still extends to the depths of the earth. ()
Shen Shi had difficulty judging how far he had gone after entering the cave. The only thing he knew was that he was already deep underground. The silent cave passage was silent, making him a little nervous, but a similar experience was once in Shen Shi’s memory. It was when he was still young on Qingyu Island with Zhong Qingzhu. Accidentally fell into that dark cave during the storm.
I don’t know if it’s because of such an experience, so when facing this gloomy weird cave like an underworld, Chen Shi's mood was still calm, he even thought of Zhong Qingzhu from time to time, and thought of two people in desperation that day. After struggling to survive for ten days together, then the memory inexplicably thought of her return this time, outside the Shutang Yunshan Hall, she stood under the shade of the tree smiling and beckoning to herself.
There seemed to be a trace of warmth in his heart, and the few friends who were young at the time did not seem to have changed much, whether it was Zhong Qingzhu, Zhong Qinglu and Sun You.
Not far ahead, Xiao Hei suddenly stopped and groaned in his mouth.
Shen Shi raised his brows and walked over, and soon he saw a man fell to the ground in the dark green light under the rock wall in front of him, motionless.
Xiao Hei looked up at Shen Shi, who was silent for a while, then walked over, and gently picked the man with his feet. Under the gloom, the man's body turned stiffly. A stiff and distorted face appeared, his skin pale and fearful, but he had been dead for a long time.
Shen Shi frowned, and his expression was a bit solemn. This corpse was already the sixth one he saw along the way, and he also encountered two ghosts like the ghost before, but because of him The five-element spell used restrains ghosts and is more powerful than ordinary spells. In addition, there is a small black top with thick skin on the front, so Shenshi can easily deal with ghosts. , After finding the right opportunity, only one fireball technique was used to easily kill the next two Yinlings.
After killing Yin Ling, perhaps because Xiao Hei acted strangely when he inhaled Yin Ling essence for the first time, Shen Shi always paid attention to it, but Xiao Hei never did anything unusual again. In his left eye The strange haze never appeared again, it seemed that the previous strangeness was only a flash in the pan.
Of the six dead people seen along the way, almost all of them were monks, and they were all people who came to this tomb of birth to explore treasure hunting. Although Shen Shi has been able to deal with the yin spirit in this cave with ease so far, as the number of corpses seen gradually increases, the frequency of the appearance of the yin spirit seems to have increased. It is obvious that the danger ahead seems to have gradually increased. Big.
Perhaps, shouldn't you continue to take risks?
When he was hesitating in his heart, Xiao Hei beside him suddenly seemed to feel something. He suddenly raised his head and glanced forward, groaning in his mouth, as if yelling at Chen Shi, and then ran forward. go with.
Shen Shi was startled, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and followed.
About a few feet forward, the surrounding caves did not change much except that they looked much wider than before, but Shen Shi suddenly smelled a strong and choking breath.
It was a strong blood.
Xiao Hei seemed to be a little uneasy in front of him, and shouted in a low voice.
Shen Shi glanced at it, his face gradually darkened, then looked up at the deep gloomy darkness in front of him, and after taking a deep breath, he stepped out again.
The strange sound of water that used to be far and near suddenly became clear. In the depths of this silent cave, it was like a small river flowing quietly, occasionally splashing water, or water slapped under the surface of the water. The stones made a rustling sound.
The wetter breeze blew over from the depths of the shadows in front, and the blood in the air became stronger and stronger as Shen Shi continued to move forward.
Suddenly, in front of his eyes, the eternal and unchanging cave passage suddenly disappeared, and the emerald green light radiating from the stone wall dissipated, and replaced by a huge and strange huge underground cavity that appeared before his eyes. Shen Shi saw the river in a space that was about tens of feet above the ground, and a space of fifty acres.
It was a river he had never seen or even imagined.
A red river suspended above the ground.
The red river water is like red blood flowing down from the dark and unknown place on the top of the cave, but for some reason, the torrential water does not pour down like an ordinary waterfall, but is as smooth as a stream. Hanging off the ground like that, slowly flowing through this piece of midair.
The sound of water and faint waves were found in front of Shen Shi's eyes, making him almost unable to believe his eyes. He only saw the weird water of the Red River, which even turned a corner in the air, as if it was mid-air. There is a transparent river invisible to the naked eye, restricting the turning and flowing of the red river, flowing smoothly to the dark depths in the distance.
Shen Shi even saw the fish in the river, but the appearance of the fish made him even more creepy. Except for the normal head and tail, the entire section of the fish that accidentally swam in the river water was completely missing. There is a bone connected. However, in this weird river water, these bony fish are swimming like living creatures, shaking their heads and tails.
Because there is no light from the emerald green light just now, this huge cave looks darker than before, but near the hanging red river, perhaps because of the strange red light emitted from the red river itself, Illuminated the nearby open space, allowing people to see some of the surrounding conditions.
Shen Shi held his breath, a little unbearable to bear the extreme bloodiness here, he even doubted whether the water in that weird red river was directly full of blood, because in ancient legends, Huangquan Mansion There is a river of blood, where the blood is surging and there are countless fierce insects and snakes, vying for flesh and blood, and it is difficult for the gods to cross. Only a Naihe bridge spans the blood river. Those who can cross this bridge can enter the Yellow Spring of the underground palace and enter the cycle again.
However, although the hanging red river in front of us was weird, it was obviously quite different from the blood river of the underworld in the legend. Although the weird bone fish in the river water were terrifying, they did not appear to attack external living things.
Thinking of this, Shen Shi’s heart felt a little more peaceful, but he became more vigilant and careful. When he arrived here, he had obviously begun to gradually deepen into the depths of the underground tomb. Although he had not found anything until now, he saw such a weird river. I am afraid that there is probably nothing good here, and what he has never figured out is where such a strong aura comes from, is it really from that red river?
He slowly walked forward a few steps again, nothing happened, the dark red light on the red river fell, and the faces of him and the little black pig were a bit eerie and weird. Suddenly, at this moment, Xiao Hei's body stunned, but he looked like a big enemy. He stared at a certain shadowy dark place under the hanging red river in front of him. He bared his teeth and made a vicious appearance. There was an angry low growl.
Shen Shi's heart shook, and a fireball technique talisman had been silently held in the palm of his right hand, and then quickly turned around to face the darkness.
A strange sound came from that place in the darkness. It sounded creepy, as if some monster was eating flesh and blood. Shen Shi's pupils shrank slightly and walked a few steps forward, while the little black pig walked in front of him.
Red light spilled from the red river above his head, gradually illuminating the dark things a little. After Shen Shi saw the scene clearly, his face suddenly turned white.
There were dozens of corpses stacked there. It seemed that they were all the monks who had come to venture here, but all of them were killed at the moment, and the corpses were piled up indiscriminately, forming a scalp-numbing corpse hill. At this moment, a huge figure with a height at least twice as tall as an ordinary person is leaning on this mountain of corpses and devouring the flesh and blood of the corpse. Iron, with two huge arms like cast iron, tearing the flesh with ease; eyes are like copper bells, two of which are burning wildly, which are much brighter than the ghosts that Shen Shi encountered before.
Shen Shi took a breath, took a step back, and whispered:
"The Corpse King!"
Zombies are also mysterious and weird ghosts, a more common one. The legend is that people are transformed from corpses after death. They eat flesh and blood, have little intelligence, and are usually extremely powerful but clumsy. Among the many zombies, if a coincidence absorbs the essence of ghosts and evil spirits, it is possible to transform into another extremely powerful zombie, this is the king of corpses.
It's just that Shen Shi frowned immediately, his eyes scanned the surroundings subconsciously, but a trace of doubt passed by. He has read many books and knows a little about the common sense of these common ghosts. The corpse king is not common. If he shows up, it must be a place with deep shadows. At the same time, he is surrounded by many ordinary zombies, letting him drive and call. , I have never heard of a corpse king appearing alone.
But under the red river, in the shadows, it was clear that there was only this lone corpse king, and no other ordinary zombie figures. As for the ghosts that he carefully lifted and fought before, they are not seen around, but this is not what makes Shenshi strange. There are many kinds of ghosts, and they never live in harmony with each other. Fighting with each other is commonplace. Zombies and ghosts are commonplace. They are two kinds of ghosts that are incompatible with fire and water. It is normal that there is this corpse king and no ghosts around.
Shen Shi's gaze fell subconsciously on the weird red river in the sky, and the blood-red river was hanging in the air and flowing slowly. This place was full of weirdness. It seemed that even ghosts were even strange monsters themselves. , Seems to have been affected by some unknown force.
At this time, Xiao Hei in front of him seemed a little nervous towards the corpse king in front of him, but the hostility was even greater, and he let out an increasingly angry roar, which finally shocked the man who was immersed in flesh and blood. Corpse King, above Corpse Mountain, the ghost slowly raised its head and looked over here.
Two groups of burning ghost fires reflected the shadows of Shen Shi and the pig, flashing non-stop.
