Chapter 333 Volume C Details, Northern Rong Demon King

Wu Tianen heard the uncertainty in Chen Huaisheng's words and nodded.

Although evil spirits such as corpses, ghosts and monsters have existed for thousands of years, they have never been mainstream and are in a marginal area. Therefore, not many people practice them, but this does not mean that their sense of existence is weak.

Because there are so many types, there are too many variations, and the relationships between them are also mixed. Even those who know something about this type can only get a glimpse of it, and it is difficult to see the whole thing.

Wu Tianen knew that Chen Huaisheng was somewhat interested in things like demons and ghosts when he was investigating Lu Zhaolin's death. He also asked himself some questions, and later spent some time learning and understanding the art of demons and ghosts.

On the contrary, he knew very little about demons and ghosts, so he relied heavily on Chen Huaisheng.

There are about a dozen monks in Huluji, but they are basically in the early stage of Qi training, and only four of them are in the middle stage of Qi training.

The highest one is only at the fifth level of Qi refining, and he is over eighty years old, that is, Lai Shuichang's uncle.

The other three are all at the fourth level of Qi Refining, one is very old, and the other two are in their prime, probably around sixty years old.

Wu Tianen still planned to meet the people from Huluji first. After all, they were the landlords and knew more about the appearance of the corpse.

Lai Shuichang's uncle Lai Muben met with the two fourth-level Qi Refiners He Shengyuan and Huang Liushi and the group, which also shows that they attach great importance to the Chonghua Sect.

Wu Tianen was too lazy to get involved too much with the Fengyi Sect and the Ding family. Since he was here, he should solve the problem first and then talk about other things.

Naturally, Chen Huaisheng was the main protagonist, Wu Tianen basically said nothing, and Sandang Ling acted as Chen Huaisheng's deputy, cooperating with Chen Huaisheng to inquire about the situation.

"... So, this kind of corpse ghost doesn't appear every day or two, or even just at the end of last year. It existed two or three years ago, and it just disappears and appears, but it suddenly became more frequent at the end of last year? "

Chen Huaisheng frowned: "Are you sure it's not one corpse, but multiple corpses?"

"Definitely." It was He Shengyuan who replied, "The corpse that appeared the year before last was very weak and fragile. I encountered it head-on. I used the fire talisman to burn it until it screamed, and I even chopped off one of its arms. , although it ran away later, it never appeared again, and the one that appeared at the beginning of last year was a mother-child ghost..., the skeleton that appeared in Gourd Branch last month only had a skeleton on its body, but Carrion grew,..."

"Carrion has grown?" Chen Huaisheng felt a little complicated.

"Yes, someone has seen with his own eyes that there is no clear boundary between carrion and new meat, it is more like a gradual change..."

He Shengyuan has put a lot of thought into this aspect and has a good grasp of the details of the intelligence.

Chen Huaisheng felt a little numb.

According to what the other party said, the corpses that appeared the year before last, the beginning of last year, the end of last year, or even this year were not one or a group at all, but maybe several groups, but there might be some relationship between them.

There are zombies, there are skeletons, there are mutating ghouls, and there may even be sentient beings.

If this comes from a group, how big is that group and how did they come to Huluji?

What's the purpose of coming here?

Are there any other factors behind this?

Sandeling's hands were shaking as he took notes.

It was his first time to participate in such an operation, and he was excited, a little scared, and a little shocked.

After all, things like corpses, ghosts and ghosts were too far away for him who had been practicing in the mountain gate.

I had heard the elders talk about it before at the mountain gate, but they were all vague and seemed more like something from another world.

But now, after following Chen Huaisheng and seeing those corpses today, I feel a little uncomfortable.

Now he heard the other party talking about the skeletons growing rotten flesh and new flesh gradually, which made him even more disgusted.

Min Qingyu, who was sitting behind Chen Huaisheng, was slightly better.

She was not a young lady who stayed away from home. She had also followed the clan elders before, but this was the first time for her to do something like this.

Ghosts and corpses have always been the most disgusting evil spirits among spiritual practitioners. They are more feared than monsters, but because they are rare, everyone doesn't care about them, but now they have to face them head-on.

"Master He, I would like to ask, the skeleton you saw in a gradual state of carrion and new flesh has appeared several times. Was it seen by the same person?" Min Qingyu asked, sitting behind Chen Huaisheng.

He Shengyuan was stunned for a moment and looked at the other party carefully.

A female cultivator with a third level of Qi refining, but she is very young, but her accent sounds like someone from Yanzhou, no, from Fuyang.

Could it be that the disciples from Hebei recruited by the Chonghua Sect were promoted to the third level of Qi Refining in just one year? Or has the Chonghua Sect begun to recruit disciples who have already refined their qi?

But this is not the time to inquire about this situation. Since someone is asking the question on behalf of the Chonghua faction, he has to answer: "This demon corpse appeared three times, but it was not encountered by one person. One group of people encountered has been killed, and the other two If you are lucky enough to escape,..."

"We would like to inquire carefully if you can invite these two groups of people." Min Qingyu whispered a few words behind Chen Huaisheng, and Chen Huaisheng nodded.

Huluji had nothing to do here and quickly called people over.

After some inquiries, the people from the Chonghua faction knew what was going on.

The skeleton I saw for the first time only had rotten flesh on the waist and ribs. The condition of the second time was unknown. The skeleton I saw for the third time had rotten flesh and new meat on the ribs, thighs, and arms.

More importantly, the skeleton had a bare helmet without a tassel at the beginning, but when it appeared for the third time, it was already wearing armor, and a few pheasant feathers were already inserted on the helmet.

Although it was just a very simple leaf armor with a few pheasant feathers, it looked tattered, but this change was chilling.

Seeing that everyone looked confused, including Wu Tianen, they still didn't quite understand.

Chen Huaisheng also knew that it was difficult for ordinary people to understand it, so he sighed and explained: "This is probably not an ordinary demon corpse. Now it is difficult for us to judge what kind of combination it is, but we can be sure that there are both demon corpses and zombies here, and even the demon corpses or zombies have a certain degree of intelligence. What's more dangerous is that it is still in a period of rapid growth."

Intelligence? Rapid growth period?

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Chen Huaisheng pondered for a moment and said, "The gradual change of rotten flesh and new flesh on the skeleton is a clear proof. It is constantly absorbing and digesting the spiritual energy from the outside world and converting it into its own use. This is what everyone sees, rotten flesh grows from nothing to something, from something to more, and then the rotten flesh further gradually changes into new flesh. If the new flesh is full and has all the internal organs,..."

"That's the corpse king?!" A heavy and loud voice came from outside the door.

"Master Qin?!" Wu Tianen and Chen Huaisheng both looked over, and it was the Huluji group who hurried out to greet them, "Master Qin, Ms. Ding, you are here?"

"Daoyou Chonghua is here, we have been looking forward to it for a long time." The first one was tall and strong, with a black face and curly beard, his eyes were bright, and he was at the fourth level of foundation building, probably around eighty.

The other woman was wearing a white-rimmed embroidered jacket and a scarlet-colored pleated horse-faced skirt. She had a plump figure, a face like a silver basin, eyebrows like spring mountains, big breasts and big buttocks. When she walked, her breasts and buttocks swayed, making people subconsciously focus on her and ignore others.

Qin Zhenren should be Qin Shouzhong of Fengyi Sect, and if Ms. Ding was right, it was Ding Runyao, who was famous in Fuyang Dao.

Wu Tianen, Chen Huaisheng, Sanderling, and Min Qingyu also stood up. Wu Tianen came out first and bowed calmly: "Chonghua Wu Tianen is polite."

Chen Huaisheng and others followed suit, "Chonghua Chen Huaisheng (Sanderling, Min Qingyu), meet Qin Zhenren and Ms. Ding."

After some greetings, Qin Shouzhong took the seat at Wu Tianen's invitation, and Ding Runyao swayed and looked around, and sat down happily.

There were several people following Qin and Ding, and they all sat down behind them.

"The little brother just now was very insightful. If this skeleton continues to absorb spiritual energy, it can grow into a corpse king. I didn't expect that the little brother also discovered this situation. I also realized this after careful investigation yesterday..."

Seeing that Chen Huaisheng was hesitant to speak, Qin Shouzhong was quite surprised, "Little brother, do you have anything else to say?"

"My humble opinion is probably not just that simple." Looking at Wu Tianen, under Wu Tianen's encouraging eyes, Chen Huaisheng didn't say anything polite and said directly: "This monster first had a helmet, which is a military general, which means that this monster was probably a general before he died. I'm not sure whether he was a spiritual practitioner before his death. It depends on his history and where he came from..."

Wu Tianen seemed to be thinking about something, but Qin Shouzhong's face changed slightly and his eyes flickered.

"I heard that the area between Fuyang and Zhaigu has always been a battleground for military strategists from the ancient times to the ancient and medieval times. There have been countless battles in this area for thousands of years, and countless soldiers have died. However, the famous Battle of Zhuolu, the Battle of Banquan, the Battle of Zhaodai, and the Battle of Julu are all in this area. When the Northern Rong invaded Hebei, there were also continuous wars, with dozens of battles of varying sizes..."

"Almost all the warriors of the Northern Rong are martial practitioners, which is actually a synonym for our spiritual practice, but their martial practice and our spiritual practice have different emphases. We focus on our own spiritual realm cultivation and advocate the way of immortality, while they value skills rather than realm, and they are more respectful of weapon cultivation and magic, or they value combat power more..."

When Chen Huaisheng said that almost all the warriors of the Northern Rong were martial practitioners, everyone realized the problem. If this corpse ghost was a martial practitioner in his lifetime, but now he has become a corpse ghost and is still growing stronger, this is a bit tricky.

"Little brother, what's your basis for saying that this demon corpse was transformed from a Northern Rong general?" Qin Shouzhong asked loudly.

"The helmet has a few more pheasant feathers. From the description, I think they are the feathers of the wolf chicken from the outer frontier. There doesn't seem to be such a thing in Hebei. Except for the Northern Rong people, it seems that no one would bring this thing from afar to wear on their heads, right?" Chen Huaisheng said with a smile.
