Xiandao Linglong

Chapter 145 Undead Puppet

"Where is this? Why is my head so dizzy? My body aches. I remember it seemed..."

When Ye Qi opened his eyes again, he found himself being carried on the shoulders of that big guy. His head was shaking and he felt dizzy and suddenly felt nauseous.

Du Youyou smiled sheepishly, feeling somewhat guilty, and said, "You remembered it wrongly. I don't know how you ended up collapsing in that secret room. We happened to run into you, and we were afraid you might be in danger, so we just brought you along!"

"Why do I remember it seemed like... Mu Qingyao? Have you seen her? She was wearing a lavender dress and had a cold face. She was the girl who followed me before!" After Ye Qi got down from the big guy's shoulders, he suddenly remembered that Mu Qingyao seemed to have disappeared, so he asked hurriedly.

"We only saw you when we came here. The woman you mentioned probably ran away when she saw you half-dead!" Du Youyou teased jokingly.

"Forget it, she has nothing to do with this trip anyway! Where are you going next?"

As he thought of Mu Qingyao, Ye Qi's mind gradually emerged with the previous memory of Mu Qingyao. He clearly remembered that she stretched her arm into the sarcophagus, and when he found out, a long and thin worm was forced out of her body. Just when he was about to kill the worm, she tried to stop him in every possible way, and in the end she caused him to be infected by the death energy.

But the most important thing now was where had the insect gone? Although I didn't know the insect's abilities, it was certain that it had survived for thousands of years in a stone coffin filled with a thick aura of death. It must be something extraordinary. If it found another host to possess, something was bound to happen!

"What's wrong with you?" Du Youyou poked Ye Qi, who was frowning and lost in thought, with her finger and asked worriedly.

"If there's nothing else, let's say goodbye now! Ye Qi will definitely do his best to repay the two of you for your help in the future!"

After Ye Qi finished speaking, before the two could react, he hurriedly returned the way he came. That thing had too many variables and it was not something that ordinary people could contend with, so he had to find the hidden insect!

But when Ye Qi returned to the tomb again, the scene in front of him made him feel a little nauseous. He saw a group of people lying next to the coffin, stuffing something into their mouths, and they were eating happily!

"Stop it! Don't eat anymore!"

Ye Qi hurriedly stepped forward and pulled a few people apart to stop them from eating those inexplicable things, but it was obvious that those things were extremely tempting, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't awaken their lost minds.

"Go away!"

Seeing Ye Qi's obstruction, those men with ferocious faces and black eyes turned around at the same time and stared at Ye Qi with hatred, as if whoever prevented them from obtaining the endless power would be their mortal enemy.

The murderous intent in their hearts became more intense because of their desire for power and their anger towards those who prevented them from gaining power. They pounced towards Ye Qifei like zombies!

"Wake up! Stop being so stubborn!"

Ye Qi held the long sword in his hand across his body, using all his strength to block their unconscious attacks. Looking at them, they were just like the nightmare species he first encountered in Fengcheng, walking corpses, without any thoughts at all!

"Power, I want power. Anyone who stops me will die!"

Ye Qi looked at the group of people who were lost in their own desires and unable to extricate themselves. The best choice now was to kill them. If he allowed them to continue absorbing the death energy in the sarcophagus, they would probably grow to an irreversible level, and then more people would be hurt by them!

Just when Ye Qi was still hesitating whether to sacrifice the small for the sake of the big and give up saving the people in front of him for the safety of others, suddenly an extremely sharp sword energy came from nowhere and directly killed several people in front of him on the spot. It was difficult to tell who was responsible for such a cruel method!

Ye Qi knew that this person was unwilling to show up because he certainly didn't want him to recognize his identity, so he clasped his fists and said in thanks towards the empty passage outside: "Thank you for your help, friend!"

After he finished speaking, he squatted down and checked if there were any changes in the bodies of the dead people. After learning some of the situation, he immediately stood up and walked towards the sarcophagus that was pushed open by the people. He thought that the insect that had escaped was also looking for a new host, but no trace of the insect was found in the corpses of those people. If nothing unexpected happened, its needs were not met, which meant that someone else would be hosted by the insect next!

"Things are getting more and more troublesome!" Ye Qi muttered to himself with a tense expression.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed past my eyes at such a fast speed that I couldn't even see the figure clearly. I couldn't tell who was here. Maybe it was the person who just helped me, or maybe there was someone else behind this matter!

"what is this?"

Just when Ye Qi was puzzled, he suddenly saw many black poisonous snakes coiled around the pillars of the palace. In addition, the light here was dim, and it was difficult to find them without careful observation. It turned out that this place was not dead and without living things. Although it was not known whether they were infected, at least they still had life, and did not attack humans who broke in here wantonly. It seemed that they still had some intelligence!

Although the poisonous snakes were not awakened by the sound of the fight just now, Ye Qi was aware of the trouble. If he woke them up, even if he could escape safely, those who were unaware of the situation might be in trouble. So, just in case, the best option was to leave quickly and then close the stone door outside, allowing these mysterious creatures to continue in their sleep.

But just as Ye Qi was stepping back, suddenly a stone was thrown inside. Judging from the force, it was thrown with some skill. After the stone hit the stone wall, it did not fall down, but bounced onto the pillars, and then bounced back and forth between the pillars. However, there was no spiritual power fluctuation found on the stone.

This kind of technical technique could probably only be figured out by some clever and bored people. However, it doesn't matter who threw it in now. What matters is that there is a strange and creepy sound coming from the tomb.

The poisonous snakes coiled around the stone pillars slowly opened their eyes, sticking out their tongues as if they were expelling the foul air in their bodies while they were sleeping, and then they crawled towards the pillars, stopping at almost the same height as Ye Qi, and then sticking out their tongues, staring at Ye Qi straight!

"Fizz!"

Suddenly, the poisonous snakes around him hissed at the same time, and then they all shot towards Ye Qi. He was frightened and retreated hastily, but it was too late!
