A pair of ferocious fangs extended from the corners of Jiang Yao's mouth.

His originally fair body turned blue-black at a speed visible to the naked eye, making him look as if he were cast in iron.

It is so mysterious that just one glance at it can make ordinary people dazzled. Strange patterns quickly appear on its body.

Coupled with the pair of huge bone wings that have already condensed and grown from his shoulders, if Jiang Yao were to walk on the street without disguising himself at this moment, not to mention the children, even adults would be scared to death.

"After changing my form and turning into a flying corpse, my combat power has at least doubled."

"In this form, I dare not challenge even ordinary celestial beings, let alone Xiantian Grandmasters of the same level as me. I will only know who is stronger after a fight."

"Power can easily make people lose their way, but no matter what I become, my bloodline is pure, and I am still an ordinary person."

"Now I've turned into a flying corpse, it's just a temporary benefit. Who the hell wants to be a zombie when you can be a human?"

……

After taking a deep breath, Jiang Yao, who was originally sitting cross-legged on the ground, slowly stood up.

He glanced around himself. He didn't know what others thought of his appearance, but in his own eyes, he still felt that he was quite majestic.

The pool of blood that had been looming in the void above his head disappeared after he turned into a flying corpse.

His chest rose and fell slightly, and with each breath he inhaled the surrounding darkness into his abdominal cavity. When it was exhaled from his nasal cavity, the original darkness had been tinted with a few streaks of scarlet.

Without the shining blood light from the blood pool, Jiang Yao was in the pervasive darkness of the Death Valley. His vision was very limited, and the situation a little further away was already blurry.

But now, in the flying corpse form, he already has dark vision.

Over a hundred meters away, several distorted shadows with the bodies of snakes but a pair of wings, which were rising and falling in the jungle, caught his sight at the first moment.

Glancing at the data on the panel, he realized that several minutes had passed since he turned into a flying corpse. However, there was no sign of any increase in his cultivation progress in the flying corpse transformation.

Of course, this period of time is too short to prove that there is some unknown energy in the void within the Death Valley that can speed up the transformation of the flying corpses.

Withdrawing his attention from the panel, Jiang Yao spread his wings, as if a gust of wind had rolled up out of the ground.

The extremely violent wind caused some of the surrounding big trees to break in the middle, while others were even uprooted, turning into broken branches and leaves on the ground.

His figure flashed, and as if in an instant, he appeared near the winged snake monsters more than a hundred meters away.

He waved his arms, and in an instant, his pair of iron palms had slashed hundreds or thousands of times in the area where the monster was.

The void, which was not solid to begin with, was chopped into pieces. Black lines like a spider web crisscrossed and covered every inch of the surrounding area.

They only had time to let out a few screams before those winged snake-bodied monsters were swallowed up by the cracks in the void and annihilated into nothingness.

With his wings spread out lightly, Jiang Yao had retreated more than ten meters away, watching the scene quietly: "To deal with this kind of pure spiritual monster without a physical body, warriors have few means. Generally, they can only rely on their own strong blood to cause effective damage to it."

"Even if I am as powerful as you, I can only use the blood sea formed by my own martial arts will to slowly destroy these monsters bit by bit."

"After turning into flying corpses, every punch and kick of mine is surrounded by evil spirits that can directly destroy their bodies. It is obviously much easier to deal with them."

……

Jiang Yao's mind was spinning in circles.

Before he ran off to the alien world to venture out, when he encountered those resentful and evil creatures, it seemed much easier for him to simply use his corpse form.

Whether it is a ghost or a god, in terms of essence, there is actually not much difference, it seems that they are the same kind of existence.

After entering the Death Valley, the phantom monster that Jiang Yao encountered was very likely the legendary god.

However, whether they are the thousands of demons under the command of the Queen Mother of the West in the legend remains to be investigated and is unknown.

"On the panel, the sudden increase in the progress of my flying corpse transformation is actually related to those ghost things!" After all the two-winged snake monsters were annihilated, Jiang Yao's attention fell on the light curtain panel again.

Seeing the realm column above, the progress of the flying corpse's transformation increased a little again, from forty-six to forty-seven. He looked helpless and sighed lightly.

Jiang Yao would feel at ease with things he obtained through his own efforts. For example, with the corpse transformation, if he wasn't careful, his cultivation progress would increase rapidly. He felt very nervous and unsure.

All along, he just wanted to be a human being, not a zombie.

After achieving the flying corpse form, he paid close attention and tried his best to avoid rapid progress in this area.

If it weren't for his deliberate suppression, it would not be impossible for the flying corpse to complete its transformation and enter the next stage. It would not be just 12% of the level before entering the Death Valley.

At this moment, seeing the data of 47% transformation of flying corpse in the realm column on the panel, his expression became extremely complicated.

"There are so many ghosts in Death Valley that it would be difficult to kill them all."

"There is simply not much point in continuing to tangle with them."

"Forget it. I'm too lazy to bother with them. I'll just leave now!"

Jiang Yao muttered a few words in his mind, touched the ground with his feet, and spread his wings.

The whole person soared into the sky like a cannonball.

Everything was normal before he rushed out of the dense forest. When he broke through the dense branches and leaves above his head and really appeared above the jungle, thunder and lightning poured down from the sky.

Given Jiang Yao's strong body, ordinary lightning was like scratching him, and could not shake him at all.

But at this moment, the purple lightning that struck down from the void above his head was extremely fierce.

In just a moment, the zombie body, which could hardly be harmed by the explosion of his missile, was charred and full of holes.

Gritting his teeth, Jiang Yao endured the continuous bombardment of falling lightning and glanced at the void around him.

There was extremely thick white fog everywhere in all directions. Even though the zombie had dark vision, his sight was still blocked by the fog and he could not tell the directions.

Only when the thunder struck down and the lightning flashed in the sky, Jiang Yao's vision widened a little.

"That is..." His eyes were unable to penetrate the fog, so he raised his head and looked up into the sky.

After just a glance, he was speechless, with wild warnings in his mind, and he was completely unable to speak.

The next moment, his whole body was charred black, and he was blasted back into the dense forest below by the purple lightning falling from the sky.

"Lying horizontally above the nine heavens, a giant snake body that is winding and twisting for who knows how many miles, what kind of existence is this? The legendary Queen Mother of the West?" "That body is constantly changing, and it seems to be an aggregation of countless rules."

"It feels to me like it's sleeping, or dying."

"Also, that being seemed to be covered in wounds. Based on my many years of experience in fighting, those wounds were caused by either sickles or hammers."

……

With a loud bang, Jiang Yao fell to the ground in the dense forest. After a long while, he finally got up from the ground.

I raised my head and looked at the sky above, which was already blocked by the dense branches and leaves of the giant trees in the forest. Apart from being a little dark and without the stars and the moon, there seemed to be no other abnormalities.

The holes and charred spots on his body caused by the purple lightning were still there, but he could no longer see any trace of the thunder and lightning that was pouring down, as if it had never appeared.

Thinking back to what he had just seen, Jiang Yao was still somewhat frightened even now.

Just the giant snake body lying horizontally above the nine heavens, which seemed like the incarnation of the Great Dao, was not enough to frighten him like this.

After all, before entering Death Valley, he had heard Zhu Mingxu say that this place was the legendary Taoist temple of the Queen Mother of the West.

In the early days, the Queen Mother of the West was in charge of plague and execution. She looked like half human, half beast, with a leopard tail and tiger teeth, and she liked to howl from time to time. However, in the later period, she had a human head and a snake body, and was beautiful and gorgeous, becoming the chief of the female fairies between heaven and earth.

No one can tell how true or false the things in myths and legends are, but when entering the Death Valley, Jiang Yao had already prepared himself mentally for this.

What really frightened him was the person sitting on top of the snake's body, with his eyes closed, a high hairline, and a fleshy mole under his chin.

There was a golden glow on that man, and I wonder how much faith he condensed.

The being who seemed to be the incarnation of the Tao and whose body was like a giant snake was covered with wounds, dying and unconscious. Jiang Yao doubted very much whether it was related to the person sitting cross-legged above him.

When he first caught a glimpse, his eyes were attracted by the huge snake body. It was not until the end that he noticed the existence above him. Just a glance out of the corner of his eye, he lost his mind and became terrified, as if a great terror was about to befall him.

"After turning into a flying corpse, although I have wings that can soar into the sky, it is obviously not feasible to use this to leave this dense forest."

"Forget it, let's just stay on the ground and try it slowly."

"The spiritual imprint left on the tree will not last long before dissipating, but in my current state, the speed is much faster than before."

"While the mark is still there, I will run all the way without getting entangled with the monsters I meet along the way. Perhaps, I can successfully escape from this dense forest!"

……

Jiang Yao didn’t dare to think too much about the great terror above the nine heavens.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, treating his injuries, he thought about it over and over again, and finally, he found a barely feasible solution.

Although the charred marks on his body from the purple lightning were still there, this injury only made him look miserable and was not a fatal injury at all.

Standing up, he looked around.

After leaving his spiritual mark on three large trees in a straight line, he spread his wings, stirred up a gust of wind, and flew forward.

In Death Valley, ten kilometers away, in a newly built camp.

Inside a huge military tent used as a monitoring room, several soldiers sat on chairs, staring at the images being played on the dozen or so large screens in front of them.

"You've been staring at the big screen for the whole morning, Xiao Xie, and you haven't even blinked. Aren't you tired?"

"Come, have a cup of coffee and take a break."

"We have been monitoring the monsters active in dangerous areas for several years. It will be fine if we delay for a while."

……

Among them, a soldier named Li Lijun stood up, brewed a few cups of coffee, and delivered them to several other colleagues in the room one by one.

The Xiao Xie he mentioned is a young man named Xie Guangming.

The images on the large screens in the house are all from real-time monitoring by drones.

The Federation's drone technology is far ahead of the rest of the world.

After years of development, today's drone technology is smaller, flies higher, and takes clearer pictures than a few years ago.

The range of the mantis monster's activities has expanded to five kilometers outside the Death Valley. It is for this reason that the garrison troops here withdrew their camp to its current location.

Although there are drones monitoring that area around the clock, the traces of Mantis People are not discovered every day. After all, the terrain in that area is complex, and there are many jungles and shrubs blocking the view.

More than a year ago, Xie Guangming was lucky enough to monitor the real-time footage of a death row prisoner being captured by the Mantis Man and transformed into a monster. Because of this incident, he was awarded a second-class merit.

Since then, every time he was on duty, he was very serious and stared at the big screen without blinking.

"Brother Jun, thank you for the coffee!"

"I'm used to staring at the big screen every day. I don't feel tired at all."

"Compared to the hunting team in the camp, it's rare for us to get the chance to make merit and receive awards. We have no choice but to be more diligent and keep an eye on the surveillance footage!"

With a simple and honest look on his face, Xie Guangming smiled.

Although he took the coffee handed to him by Li Lijun, he did not look away, and his eyes never left the picture displayed on the big screen in front of him.

"I've found something, Brother Jun, look!" Holding the cup of coffee, Xie Guangming took a small sip. The next moment, his face was full of excitement and he exclaimed.

After a slight pause, Li Lijun reacted and looked straight in the direction he was looking.

What is displayed on the big screen at this moment seems to be the surveillance footage of the entrance of Death Valley.

Ripples suddenly appeared in the empty space, and the next moment, a dark figure, which turned from illusory to solid, strode out from it.

Judging from its appearance, the black shadow has hands and feet and is obviously human.

The black shadow's messy hair was like straw. He was naked, and the exposed skin was completely charred.

As soon as he walked out of Death Valley, he took out a pair of shorts from somewhere and put them on. Then, he took out a pack of cigarettes, took out a cigarette, lit it, and started smoking. (End of this chapter)
