The world is filled with ten misfortunes for every eight. This couple from the Corpse Refining Sect never imagined that their formation would stir up such a huge mess.
Accumulated over a thousand years and then undergoing a sudden change, a large amount of Yin Sha Qi was poured out from the cave and directly into the village.
Under the erosion of this Yin Sha Qi, the villagers began to fall ill, and some even died.
It was just that this place was too poor and too remote; the locals truly didn't know what cremation was. They had many ways to deal with corpses.
These corpses also provided great convenience for the couple in refining zombies.
Yin Wuchang pondered, since the village was already ruined and so many people had died, why not go all out and conduct a surprise corpse refinement!
Thus, the couple used a secret technique to turn the entire village into zombies!
However, what the couple didn't expect was that the higher authorities had already gained a clear understanding and accurate judgment of these changes and had established the Dragon Shield Special Operations Department.
The couple was no longer paying attention to the people outside the village. They felt that even if the area was surrounded, it would be difficult for ordinary people to enter.
They now had to seize the time and use the resources here to cultivate a Silver Zombie!
It was somewhat tragic to say that the Corpse Refining Sect had not refined a Silver Zombie for nearly a thousand years. This was because refining a Silver Zombie not only required an excellent place for corpse refinement with abundant Yin Sha Qi but also some Bronze Zombies as materials!
Yet, many people in the Corpse Refining Sect, who spent their entire lives, could only refine a Bronze Zombie. How could they bear to use these Bronze Zombies as materials?
But now, there were thousands of people in this village, all of whom had become zombies, and the original corpses in the cave had also become materials for refining zombies.
The couple did not rest. They forged over a hundred Iron Zombies, then selected about a dozen outstanding ones, instructing them to tear off the heads of other zombies, extract the corpse cores, and devour them.
The so-called corpse core was the nucleus within the zombie's head that controlled the zombie's movement!
According to Ouyang Feiyang's research, this thing was very likely formed from the brain shrinking and degenerating after a person died and their body became a zombie.
It was both the nerve control center of a zombie's body and the source of its strength.
To refine higher-level zombies, the method was even simpler and more brutal: devour a large number of corpse cores, then absorb a large amount of Yin Sha Qi, and finally, it would happen naturally!
On this side, the five Bronze Zombies in the formation were continuously absorbing Yin Sha Qi. On the other side, outside the formation, hundreds of zombies, some of which were relatively large, directly smashed open the heads of the relatively smaller zombies with their hands, extracted the corpse cores, and swallowed them.
The bodies of those zombies were directly thrown into the formation, becoming the source of the formation's energy.
"My dear, can we start forging a Silver Zombie now? I can't wait to see the glory of our sect from years ago," Leng Yueru said happily.
"Alas!" Yin Wuchang shook his head helplessly.
"We're still a bit short. The few Bronze Zombies we have now are far from enough. We need at least 10 Bronze Zombies for their corpse cores to trigger evolution. But the problem now is that we're running out of materials! It seems we've gathered all the usable zombies in the village here!"
"There's no other way. We need to speed up. The longer it takes, the more problems may arise. Husband, the commotion we've caused this time is too great. After this is done, we need to find a place to cultivate properly and lie low!"
"Good, exactly!"
Around the formation, after a period of slaughter, the zombies scattered on the ground all became materials for the formation.
In the end, only three zombies remained on the periphery. These three zombies were twitching, appearing to have begun their evolution.
However, this description looked somewhat gruesome. Every muscle on the zombies was writhing violently, as if a mass of maggots were gathered together.
Yin Wuchang was intently controlling these zombies, helping them complete the transformation as quickly as possible.
Just then, a string of fireballs suddenly flew from hundreds of meters away. These fireballs floated in mid-air, each as large as a human head!
These fireballs circled in the sky for a while, then suddenly found their targets and flew directly towards the three surviving zombies outside the circle.
"Boom..."
A series of explosions connected together. The high temperature and fireballs from the explosions superimposed, directly roasting the three Iron Zombies that were evolving into charred bones!
In addition, the high temperature generated by the flames also affected the formation, causing the zombies within the formation to emit chilling roars.
This explosion also caused Yin Wuchang, who was controlling the zombies' evolution, to suffer some backlash to his spiritual power. His head felt as if it had been struck by several heavy hammers; it was extremely uncomfortable, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"Who are you!" Leng Yueru, seeing her husband injured, was about to go berserk.
The person who arrived was none other than Ling Tian. After a difficult trek, Ling Tian finally arrived here. He then applied an invisibility talisman to himself and quietly approached the area. He watched from the side for a long time and overheard the couple's whispered conversation, finally understanding the whole story.
"Husband, this brat is revealing our secrets!" Leng Yueru said sternly.
"Heh heh, come on, you're welcome. Look at this guy, his body is strong and well-proportioned, and he also has cultivation. This is a top-grade material for making zombies..."
"Enough nonsense, just take him down. I want this material!" Leng Yueru finished speaking and pointed. The two Bronze Zombies standing behind her attacked Ling Tian almost simultaneously.
The Bronze Zombies lunged at Ling Tian. Ling Tian found that their speed was nearly double that of the most agile Iron Zombies! Clearly, getting entangled with such opponents would be very troublesome.
Moreover, there were still five zombies in that peculiar formation, ready to be deployed at any moment. The priority now was to finish quickly!
As quick as lightning, Ling Tian's thoughts flashed. Two talismans appeared in his hands. After injecting his true qi, the two talismans glowed with silver lightning and flew directly towards the two zombies.
"Snap... Hiss hiss...!"
After two crisp sounds, looking at the two Bronze Zombies, they simultaneously stopped their forward momentum and collapsed to the ground, convulsing all over.
"This is... a Thunder Talisman!? No, how is that possible? How can a Thunder Talisman have such great power!" Leng Yueru, who was controlling the two zombies, had an expression of disbelief!
