C173 Corpse Powder
Other than the body, there's something that gives off corpse Qi. The only thing that could be seen was the half-dead zombie! Qi Zhuohao had some understanding of this when he was on Earth. After coming to Hongwu Continent, he had a deeper understanding.
Qi Zhuohao was very shocked because of this. There were actually zombies living in the beast area of Myriad Corpses Mountain. He estimated that the endless corpse Qi and miasma in Myriad Corpses Mountain were emitted by the zombies here.
But after thinking about it carefully, Qi Zhuohao felt that something was not right, because even if it was zombies... It was impossible to emit such a strange corpse Qi, and zombies could only emit corpse Qi. Where did the miasma come from? Also, how many zombies were needed to release so much corpse energy?
All kinds of reasons proved that a small part of the corpse Qi and miasma in Myriad Corpses Mountain originated from the zombies here. No wonder Qi Zhuohao had a feeling that the corpse Qi in Myriad Corpses Mountain was thicker than the miasma.
Corpse Qi and miasma were not the same type of gas, but were very different. The two types of gas could fuse together, and that was the Qi Of Corpse Barrier. In other words, 99% of the gases in the Myriad Corpses Mountain were Qi Of Corpse Barrier. The remaining 1% was the pure corpse Qi emitted by the zombies in the beast area.
Of course, this was only Qi Zhuohao's deduction, and it wasn't important. What was important was that Qi Zhuohao was sure that the Qi Of Corpse Barrier in the Myriad Corpses Mountain was from some kind of thing, and it had nothing to do with the zombies here!
"Three of you, this grey wolf is a zombie. It doesn't fear the attacks of swords and sabers, so it's not easy to deal with it. We have to be careful later."
Hearing Poison Lady's words, Qi Zhuohao and Xiao Sheng both nodded their heads heavily. Crazy Pockmarked-face Man, however, did not think much of it. "Hongchen, are you afraid? What's so scary about a mere second grade Mortal Beast zombie grey wolf?"
After saying that, Crazy Pockmarked-face Man took the lead and rushed towards the grey wolf. The machete in his hand chopped into the grey wolf's flesh. But... The grey wolf ignored Crazy Pockmarked-face Man's attack and raised its sharp claws at lightning speed. The claw landed on Crazy Pockmarked-face Man's chest, leaving five deep bloody marks that could be seen through bone.
An intense pain came. Crazy Pockmarked-face Man didn't care about anything else. He quickly withdrew his blade and retreated, staring at the grey wolf with a fearful expression.
"Crazy Pockmarked-face Man, you are courting death. Zombies do not feel anything. Moreover, once you are scratched by it, you will be infected with corpse poison. Before long, you will become like it. Half dead, this is the consequence of not listening to your advice!"
Crazy Pockmarked-face Man was already injured and was very angry. After hearing Poison Lady's words, his face changed drastically. He looked at Poison Lady and said in a panic, "Hongchen, is what you said true?"
"It's up to you whether you believe it or not. I don't want to waste my breath on you!" Poison Lady said and ignored Crazy Pockmarked-face Man.
Seeing this, Crazy Pockmarked-face Man took off his clothes. Sure enough, green gas flowed through the five wounds on his chest. And... There were signs of spreading in all directions. He knew... What Poison Lady said was not false. He was really infected by the corpse poison.
On the side, Qi Zhuohao and Xiao Sheng were looking at Crazy Pockmarked-face Man's injuries. Both of them revealed shocked expressions. Although their understanding of the corpse poison wasn't as deep as Poison Lady's, Crazy Pockmarked-face Man was the only one who didn't know anything about the corpse poison.
"Hongchen, since you know all this, I think you should have a way to cure the corpse poison. I know you came prepared. I think you must have prepared a pill to cure the corpse poison. Quickly, take it out!"
Crazy Pockmarked-face Man's words were like an order. Upon hearing this, Poison Lady coldly harrumphed and said, "Crazy Pockmarked-face Man, you are courting death. What does it have to do with me? I do have a pill to cure the corpse poison on me, but why should I give it to you?"
At this moment, Poison Lady could no longer bear with Crazy Pockmarked-face Man. Crazy Pockmarked-face Man was too arrogant. He deserved to die!
"Hongchen, the three of us each received a message. We only found out about the secret after adding up the three messages. You and Xiao Sheng have a backup plan, and so do I. Without me... Can you guys reach the Peak Of Myriad Corpses Mountain? Also, I'm not threatening you. If you don't give me the pills... Even if I die, I will drag you down with me."
Crazy Pockmarked-face Man was so angry that he laughed. He knew that Poison Lady would not watch him die and turn into a zombie. It would not do Poison Lady any good. On the contrary, he would die. Poison Lady and Xiao Sheng would not be able to reach Peak Of Myriad Corpses Mountain, so Xiao Sheng would not watch him die.
"Hongchen, give him the pill!" Sure enough, Xiao Sheng spoke up for Crazy Pockmarked-face Man. Crazy Pockmarked-face Man could not die at this time!
"Humph, let's forget about it this time. Next time, I, Poison Lady, will not care about your life or death!" After hesitating for a moment, Poison Lady gave in and threw a pill to Crazy Pockmarked-face Man. She held the long whip in her hand and rushed towards the zombie wolf.
Zombies in Hongwu Continent, whether they were humans or beasts, had their own consciousness. In other words, other than having corpse poison in their bodies, they were no different from normal warriors and beasts.
Previously, the zombie grey wolf had been slashed by Crazy Pockmarked-face Man. Although it did not feel pain, it was inevitable that it would be injured. Green blood was still flowing along its abdomen. Its pair of green eyes were terrifyingly cold.
Although this grey wolf was a zombie, it had corpse poison all over its body. However, it was only a Second Grade Mortal Beast, and it had been hit by Crazy Pockmarked-face Man's attack. It knew that it was not a match for these human warriors, so... It did not continue chasing after Crazy Pockmarked-face Man.
When it saw Poison Lady rushing towards it with the long whip in her hand, the grey wolf immediately turned around and fled. It was already injured, and if it continued to fight, it would only be killed by these few warriors. The zombies in Hongwu Continent did not have undying bodies!
However, Poison Lady seemed to have predicted that the grey wolf would escape. She coldly snorted and the long whip swept out like a snake swimming in water, instantly wrapping around the grey wolf's body.
Immediately after, Poison Lady pulled hard and the grey wolf flew towards her. At the same time, her other hand had already sprinkled a handful of golden powder. When the powder came into contact with the grey wolf's wound, a change occurred. The wolf's body actually began to melt, just like snow meeting boiling water. Unbelievable!
"This is a Corpse Destroying Powder!"
Xiao Sheng exclaimed in shock. When Qi Zhuohao heard this, he also revealed a surprised expression. A Corpse Destroying Powder was a type of poison powder. Normally, it had no use, but when used against zombies, the Corpse Destroying Powder's use was huge.
It could be said that as long as the wound of the zombie was bleeding and stained with the Corpse Destroying Powder, the zombie would be turned into pus and blood in a very short period of time. The zombie would die and disappear. To put it bluntly, this Corpse Destroying Powder was the natural enemy of zombies.2
It was rumored that the refining method of the Corpse Destroying Powder had long been lost. This Poison Lady actually had a Corpse Destroying Powder in her hands. It was not only Qi Zhuohao and Xiao Sheng who were shocked and puzzled, even Crazy Pockmarked-face Man, whose injuries had already been controlled. And a look of disbelief!
"It seems like the means of these three men are even more powerful than I had imagined!" Qi Zhuohao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Under the shocked gazes of Qi Zhuohao and the other two, the body of the zombie grey wolf gradually melted. In just a dozen breaths of time, it had completely turned into a pool of blood. It couldn't die anymore!
"Sister Hongchen, do you still have the Corpse Destroying Powder? Can you sell some to me? ”
Seeing Poison Lady put away the long whip, Xiao Sheng immediately walked over with a smile on his face. This beast area in Myriad Corpses Mountain was extremely dangerous. Zombies were everywhere. If they could have the Corpse Destroying Powder to protect them, their safety would be a lot more guaranteed.
Zombies who are only at the Second Grade Mortal Beast are already so powerful. How could Third Level Mortal Beast or even Devil Beast Stage zombies be so powerful? Not only Xiao Sheng, but Qi Zhuohao and Crazy Pockmarked-face Man were also very envious of the Corpse Destroying Powder in Poison Lady's hands.
"Xiao Sheng, stop dreaming. This Corpse Destroying Powder of mine is very difficult to refine, and the quantity is limited. You can't afford it!"
As if she was very unhappy with Xiao Sheng, Poison Lady directly rejected him. She actually still had a large amount of Corpse Destroying Powder in her hands. The refinement of the Corpse Destroying Powder was also not that difficult. But, why did she sell the Corpse Destroying Powder to Xiao Sheng?
Poison Lady's disdainful tone made Xiao Sheng very angry, but in a moment, his expression returned to normal. "Since Sister Hongchen doesn't want to sell it, then forget it. Let's continue forward!"
Xiao Sheng walked into the depths of the forest expressionlessly. Qi Zhuohao and Crazy Pockmarked-face Man, who were about to open their mouths to buy Corpse Destroying Powder from Poison Lady, wanted to say something but stopped themselves. They quickly followed Xiao Sheng's footsteps.
Not long after, Qi Zhuohao and the others had already gone about one mile into the beast area. At this time, they once again encountered the zombies that were transformed from beasts. And this time, there was not only one zombie, but a group. There were different types of zombies, and all of them were level 2 or 3 Mortal Beast.
"Three of you, meeting so many zombies at once, just relying on the Corpse Destroying Powder in my hand is not enough. Everyone, let's kill them together. Remember, don't let them scratch you. " Poison Lady shouted and rushed towards the group of zombies. She could not use the Corpse Destroying Powder in her hands carelessly. She had to keep it. There were too many zombies in the Myriad Corpses Mountain beast area, and the deeper one went, the higher the realm of zombies!
It had to be said that Poison Lady and the other two were really strong. And with the precedent of Crazy Pockmarked-face Man being infected by the corpse poison, the three of them were very careful. Adding Qi Zhuohao's terrifying means, in a short while, a total of 40 zombies were killed.
Putting away the machete, Qi Zhuohao calmly looked at the corpses on the ground. If he wanted to kill the zombies, he had to drain all the blood in their bodies. It was very difficult to do so, so it was also a waste of time.
"Everyone, take a rest first. After replenishing your physical strength and Spiritual Force, we will continue forward."
As soon as Xiao Sheng finished speaking, he, Poison Lady, and Crazy Pockmarked-face Man sat on the ground with their legs crossed, trying their best to recover their physical strength and Spiritual Force. The more they walked towards Myriad Corpses Mountain, the stronger the zombies they encountered. They must not be careless. They had to take one step at a time!
Although Qi Zhuohao's physical strength and Spiritual Force did not consume much, in order to not arouse the suspicion of Poison Lady and the other two, he pretended to sit cross-legged and recover his physical strength and Spiritual Force.
Fifteen minutes later, Qi Zhuohao continued his journey alone. This time, it was Qi Zhuohao who led the way.
After the four of them walked for a while, Qi Zhuohao's eyes suddenly moved. Under a towering ancient tree, a pile of white bones was very conspicuous, and beside the pile of white bones, there was a silver spear stuck in the soil.
"Earth Weapon!" Qi Zhuohao exclaimed as if he was talking to himself. The long spear next to the pile of white bones was actually an Earth Weapon. There were indeed many treasures in Myriad Corpses Mountain. Only then did he come to the bottom of the mountain of Myriad Corpses Mountain. There were already corpses and treasures left behind from the great battle.
"It really is the Low Grade Ground Weapon!" Crazy Pockmarked-face Man took a look at it. His greedy eyes were unconcealed, but... This Earth Weapon was discovered by Qi Zhuohao first, so it should be taken away by him. He felt bitter in his heart. If he had known earlier, he would have taken the initiative to lead the way.
Although it was dangerous to lead the way, he could still be the first to discover the treasures in the area. There was no doubt about it!
"Brother Qi, take the Earth Weapon away! I will continue on my journey!"
Xiao Sheng said lightly, and Qi Zhuohao nodded when he heard it. Just as he was about to pull the spear out, Crazy Pockmarked-face Man shouted, "Wait, didn't we agree to get the treasure with our own strength? The distribution of the treasure has to be redefined!"
