Chapter 287 The First to Arrive

After possessing the map, Xu Mu traveled much faster. Coupled with the mystery of the Void Transformation Technique, he reached the place unimpeded.

A rough palace built of stone appeared in his sight. This is the center of the space, where the Jade Prince actually made the corpse puppet!

Town residents are only the first step in making corpse puppets, and further processing is needed here.

In order to avoid being noticed by the monsters, Xu Mu did not use his spiritual thoughts along the way. When he arrived at this place, he dared to recover his physical form and used his spiritual thoughts to carefully check the surrounding situation.

With the help of his spiritual thoughts, he found many traces of formations and restrictions nearby. The power of each one should not be underestimated, but many of them had stopped functioning.

"Although it has stopped running, there are no signs of damage on it. No one else has arrived yet!"

Thinking of this, Xu Mu couldn't help but feel happy.

In a place like this, the first one to come will definitely have an advantage, but the second one to come may not even be able to drink the soup.

"Having the Divine Refining Cauldron as a storage tool and the Void Transformation Technique is really useful!"

Without the Void Transformation Technique, he would never have been able to reach here so easily. You know, the other teams are not weak at all, especially the top-ranked eldest prince and seventh princess.

If he traveled through the wilderness in a normal way, he might not be able to surpass a few people.

Without staying too long at the entrance, Xu Mu once again turned his body into a wisp of smoke, passing through the gap between the formation and the restriction, and reached the entrance of the palace.

Here, a corpse puppet wearing various clothes, with dull eyes, walked around like a machine.

Although these corpse puppets look dull and silly, the aura on their bodies is not weak at all, and many of them are at the Golden Core stage.

"One, two, three...eighty-six! Hiss! There are so many that you can see, but there may be more that you can't see. This place is too scary!"

Seeing so many Golden Core Corpse Puppets, Xu Mu couldn't help but wipe away cold sweat. Even with his strength, suddenly facing so many Golden Core Corpse Puppets would give him a headache.

Considering that these corpse puppets can also self-destruct, it is even more scary. They might end up here.

The only good news is that there are no ghosts here, only corpse puppets.

Although ghosts will not self-destruct like corpse puppets, their senses are more sensitive, and they are likely to be discovered even if Xu Mu becomes hollow.

Now that there is no ghost, his actions will undoubtedly be much easier.

"It is estimated that all those ghosts were taken into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner by Lord Jade, otherwise it would be impossible to cultivate nine Nascent Soul stage ghosts!"

"But why don't you bring these corpse puppets with you?"

If these corpse puppets are brought along, it will definitely cause a lot of chaos in the prison.

Xu Mu was confused.

What he didn't know was that it wasn't that the Jade Prince didn't want to take him with him, but that he couldn't take him with him. He was an orthodox cultivator and couldn't control too many corpse puppets at all. Carrying him with him might become a burden if someone discovered him in advance, and he cultivated The purpose of the corpse puppet is not to fight, but to replenish the strength of the Seventh Prince.

As the power of the Seventh Prince is replenished, the corpse puppets here have no value in existence.

Under the guard of the Dayuan Dynasty, it was impossible for him to leave with so many corpse puppets. He originally wanted the Seventh Prince to escape and then subdue them, but he became a victim. The Seventh Prince was afraid of being pursued by the royal family, so he gave up here.

Xu Mu didn't know the reason, so he was confused.

Xu Mu did not bother to delve into the problem that he could not figure out. He continued to remain in the virtual state and flew into the palace while the corpse puppet was walking.

As he guessed, there were also corpse puppets inside the palace, walking around in the passages and rooms like zombies.

"Fortunately, it's a corpse puppet. It wouldn't be so easy to refine a corpse!"

The difference between zombie puppets and corpse refining is that they will not develop wisdom over time. After losing control, they will only execute some simple instructions.

This will make them look too rigid whether in action or combat.

But precisely because of this, they are easier to control and there will be no backlash.

The corpse puppets in front of them must have accepted the order to protect the palace and prevent strangers from approaching, so they had such good fortunes.

In addition to the patrolling corpse puppets, there are also more formations and restrictions in the palace. Even in the virtual state, Xu Mu has to be cautious. In case of an accident, there is no way to hide in such a place.

After searching several palaces in the periphery, Xu Mu found nothing, which gave him a vague feeling of bad premonition.

"This palace is too clean inside, as if it has been ransacked!"

He was the first one to come, so it was definitely not the work of other princes and princesses, unless they had exactly the same means as him.

In this case, there is only one possibility. When the original person left, he took all the valuable things with him.

If you think about it carefully, it's really possible. The other party didn't run away, but left with a premeditation. He definitely wouldn't leave anything behind.

"No wonder the royal family is so generous and allows the prince and princess to bring people in. It turns out there is no oil or water!"

After complaining in his heart, Xu Mu gave up his plan to search one by one. He planned to go to the center to have a look. If he found nothing, he would leave directly.

If he continued to stay, if he met other people, he would definitely be suspected of taking everything, so it was better to leave as soon as possible to avoid taking the blame for nothing.

After about ten breaths, Xu Mu felt that he had reached the center. He looked around and soon discovered a unique building.

It was a small black stone palace with sharp edges and corners on its four walls. It was three to four feet high and only occupied an area of ​​three or four steps. At first glance, it looked like an upright black coffin.

Nowadays, such a strange house has been built in the center, which makes people curious.

What's even more strange is that there isn't even a corpse puppet nearby, and it's not as tight as the perimeter defense.

Xu Mu carefully looked closer and saw a large number of dim golden runes engraved on the wall above. It seemed that these runes had lost their function. It was not known whether it was because there was no energy support or because it was artificially terminated.

He observed his surroundings and after confirming that there was no danger, he showed his physical form, raised his hand and waved a blast of wind, blowing towards the wall.

Click, click, click!

Those runes were like walls soaked by water vapor. They fell off one after another under the strong wind and turned into dust all over the ground. The walls also became very mottled.

"Sure enough, it has lost its function. It should not have been stopped artificially, otherwise the corrosion would not have been so severe!"

Xu Mu walked around the stone house, but unexpectedly found an entrance at the back. After gently pushing it open, there was a altar like a shrine. There were no statues or rankings on it, only a few scattered black jade slips.
