Chapter 1145: Chapter 648: The Yang Feng Mystery (Part 2)

"Roar!!!"

The soldier was infected by the blob and completely transformed into a ’Flowing Corpse’, lunging toward his comrades.

The other soldiers were already prepared, drawing their swords together.

Slash!!!

A row of infected soldiers was coldly tossed down by the others.

Upon seeing them, the Flowing Corpses below immediately grabbed these warm bodies and gnawed on them.

The scene was extremely bloody!

Yang Zhu frowned, watching all this.

"These Flowing Corpses... are truly terrifying, not only tough-skinned but also capable of throwing, infecting, and bloodthirsty cannibalism... and there are so many of them. We can’t encounter them, or we’ll be eaten."

"Should we try moving to another location?"

Though the individual attributes of these Flowing Corpses would certainly be lesser than the Mouse Servants, they were overwhelming in number!

If they charged, they could devour them instantly.

Puzzle Solver No. 6 shook his head.

"This place is set up on the main road; evidently, it’s a part of the story we must experience. I dare say if we deliberately evade this... there may be something even more terrifying waiting for us outside."

"What could be more terrifying than facing so many monsters? I’d rather go play with the Mouse Servants..."

This time, Yang Zhu disagreed with No. 6’s viewpoint.

The disparity in strength was too great!

If discovered by these Flowing Corpses, they’d have no room for maneuver and all would perish.

No. 6 shook his head, "Though I wish to persuade you, if you insist, you can send someone to scout the surroundings and make a decision."

Yang Zhu turned to her younger siblings.

"Zhu Yi, Zhu Yu, you two go and check on the sides to see if there’s another path."

"Uh... me?"

"Big sister, I... am only at Foundation Establishment."

The two were very scared; actually, since entering, they’d been hiding behind Yang Zhu, not daring to act.

Yang Zhu furrowed her brow.

"You’re part of the team, and naturally, you have to bear the team’s responsibilities. Your cultivation may not be high, but your movement technique is decent, and you carry protective Dharma treasures given by your parents; you have some self-preservation ability."

The two exchanged glances, seeing fear in each other’s eyes.

"Uh... can’t we let the ancestor take a look? The ancestor’s Heavenly Eye is much stronger than ours."

"How about everyone acting together?"

Zhu Yi even called out to the ancestor: "Ancestor... please help us, we don’t know where to go."

She looked pitiful, truly evoking some feelings of compassion.

Yang Genshuo dared say, if Zhu Yi acted cute and spoiled a bit, lots of men would be willing to sacrifice everything for her online.

Never underestimate online fanboys.

They might not necessarily feed, but they’re excellent at inflating prices.

This strategy was of no use to Yang Genshuo, and he couldn’t help.

"Children... Even though I wish to help, this Legendary Land is quite bizarre, with Heavenly Dao restrictions everywhere in a fog. I can only see what you see, you still need to explore yourselves..."

The White Grain Warehouse was shrouded in a layer of gray mist, severely limiting Yang Genshuo’s ability.

Yang Zhu’s face turned dark, and angrily she said, "Go, quickly! Or face family punishment!"

"Don’t! We’ll go now!"

"Hmph!"

Both angrily clasped hands and went outside to explore.

Once the two walked a bit further away, No. 6 asked, "Why send them alone? My puppets could be easily maneuvered..."

Yang Zhu’s tense face relaxed.

"Sigh... It’s too dangerous here, and they’re overly reliant on me. If I were to fall into trouble... they might not even have the courage to save themselves. I’m doing my best to let them grow a bit."

"Let your puppet secretly follow them underground... ensure they don’t get hurt."

Puzzle Solver No. 6 nodded in praise, "Indeed."

Yang Genshuo saw Yang Zhu’s current concern.

She wasn’t certain they could survive.

If the city ahead truly must be passed, as No. 6 claimed... faced with such large-scale mêlée, she didn’t know if they’d perish at the hands of those Flowing Corpses.

Soon, two screams were heard!

"Ah!!! There are Flowing Corpses!"

"A lot of them, they’re chasing us! Help, big sister!"

Both quickly rushed back, followed by a small wave of Flowing Corpses, a total of thirteen.

"Kill!"

Yang Zhu’s side was well-prepared, and everyone went into action together, targeting the Flowing Corpses with various magic treasures, causing them to retreat step by step. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

The blobs on their bodies kept proliferating, but they couldn’t withstand the onslaught of spells from Yang Zhu and the others.

Especially with attacks from Yang Zhu and No. 6’s Golden Core beetle demon, easily shredding their flesh, the others focused mainly on supportive and restrictive spells, quickly dealing with these thirteen Flowing Corpses.

Watching the ground filled with blood, everyone took a few steps back.

"[Flowing Water Technique]!"

Zhu Yi used Water Element Magic to wash away the corpses and blood, allowing everyone to breathe freely.

The battle had been brief and intense; the biggest issue was preventing infection by the Flowing Corpses.

After this fight, they generally understood the battle strength of these Flowing Corpses.

"Most are at Foundation Establishment Stage, thick-skinned, with simple attack abilities. As long as we avoid infection, they’re not overly difficult to handle..."

Ten or so corpses were no hassle for this team.

They could be dealt with quickly.

But... what about thousands of Flowing Corpses? Tens of thousands?

Yang Genshuo looked at the city surrounded, the battle continued, and the Flowing Corpses kept increasing.

Zhu Yi said, "All around us are Flowing Corpses, some even appear... very strong but haven’t followed us. If we wander, they’re bound to spot and surround us."

"Uh-huh! Just as No. 6 said, there are more Flowing Corpses outside, and we’ll become their main targets if we break out, which would be too difficult."

The two had only scanned around but were chased back by wild Flowing Corpses, having witnessed most of the situation.

Absolutely not optimistic.

No. 6 said, "If there are a lot of roaming Flowing Corpses outside... we’ll increasingly be at risk of detection, and this place will gradually become unsafe."

"Once surrounded by other Flowing Corpses, continually making noise, we’d be encircled by a tide of Flowing Corpses, and then we couldn’t escape..."

"We have to find a way into the city..."

Going elsewhere was impossible, entering the city was necessary.

"But with so many Flowing Corpses surrounding... the city itself is struggling, how do we get in? Should we fly directly across?"

Flowing Corpses had means of long-range attack, and if they flew and were hit by blobs, they’d likely be infected.

The image of infected soldiers remained vivid.

"No, besides the Flowing Corpses, the city soldiers aren’t currently our friends; no one can guarantee they won’t shoot us... We’d become targets in the air."

Under attack from both Flowing Corpses and soldiers, they’d be doomed.

This side was at an impasse.

Couldn’t enter, nor bypass, with Flowing Corpses tightening the circle...

Yang Genshuo contemplated how to assist them to reach the city safely when... his Divine Sense trembled, as if something major was occurring.

Immediately withdrew from the perspectives of his descendants at the White Grain Warehouse in the Legendary Land.

His gaze turned to Yang Qiangjing.

New Bright City, overhead.

Ten treasure ships descended from the sky!

"Yang City Lord, I’ve brought some old friends to visit you, please open the gate!"

Ma Yan’s lips curled up in disdain.

On the decks behind him were cultivators clad in varied attire, each possessing extraordinary bearing and awe-inspiring spiritual power!

They were evidently top-notch masters!

Yang Qiangjing flew out of the administrative hall, standing atop the polluted Life Divine Tree, looking up at these ten ships of masters!

"We heard from Daoist Ma that the Danai Empire has a new Legendary Land emerging, Yang City Lord, is this so?"

"Guests are always welcome, I recall you saying this before, Yang City Lord, right? Why not invite us in, is this the Yang Family’s way of hospitality?"

"Hehe~ Among us are wise people, is it possible Yang City Lord wishes to delay time using low-end trickery?"

"We want you... to open the city gates!"

Seeing this scene, Yang Genshuo clenched his fist tightly.

"Damn, who leaked the information!"
