Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 53: Xiao Heizi is dead

When the three men and one leopard rushed to Lanjia Village, they saw a tall black zombie committing a crime in the village.

In order to protect their people, the men of the Lan family all took up their weapons and fought back desperately. Unfortunately, the black zombie was invulnerable to swords and spears, and was not afraid of bows and arrows. It was also extremely powerful and moved very quickly. It was surrounded by enemies but acted as if it was in an empty space. It tore and gnawed crazily, killing and injuring more than ten people...

The three of them exchanged glances quickly, and Ren Yuan raised two fingers, meaning to adopt the second set of tactics that had been agreed upon.

A Yao and Tian Liangzi nodded, and the latter went around to the north to ambush.

Ren Yuan and his senior sister put down their leopards and first affixed the 'Talisman to Avoid Poison and Expel Evil', the 'Talisman of Copper Head and Iron Arms', and the 'Talisman of Nine Oxen and Two Tigers' to themselves, and then each took out a 'Talisman of Five Ghosts Moving' and affixed it to the other person.

At this time, the black zombie grabbed the weapon of a male member of the Lan family, pulled him in front of him, opened his fangs and bloody mouth, and was about to bite him...

But suddenly, his eyes blurred and a graceful figure appeared out of nowhere in front of him and punched him in the face!

The black zombie was caught off guard and took a solid blow from the powerful tiger-ox fist. He was knocked on his back with sparks flying everywhere. Some of his fangs were broken and flew away. No one knew where they went.

Ren Yuan also appeared behind the black zombie at the same time, raised his Thunderbolt Sword, and accurately stabbed it in the vital point!
The black zombie immediately convulsed violently as if it had been electrocuted. However, despite being hit hard, it could respond quickly because it had no sense of pain. It roared, and its rotten skin exploded, turning into a foul-smelling black corpse water that splashed out!
Although Senior Sister Ren Yuan and his daughter had the 'Avoid Poison and Expel Evil' Talisman to protect them, they still quickly cast the Wind-Calling Talisman, using a whirlwind to blow back the corpse water and protect the men of Lanjia Village who had not yet had time to evacuate.

While the two were resisting the corpse water, the black zombie leaped up from the ground and jumped out of the battle group, preparing to escape at a high speed...

But unexpectedly, another figure blocked its way.

"Die again for me!" Tian Liangzi had already accumulated enough strength, and he opened his mouth and spit out a translucent yellow mine, which hit the black zombie right in the chest!
With a loud bang, the black zombie was blown into pieces, and corpse fluid and blood splattered, dyeing the water vapor in the sky black and red.

Ren Yuan and his senior sister quickly performed a purification ritual to prevent these highly toxic filth from polluting the village's water and soil.

This was not Tian Liangzi's specialty, so he stood aside and watched, saying to Ren Yuan: "This thing is evil. I have never seen an evil thing that can still jump around after being hit by Lao Liu's Thunderbolt Sword."

"I was also shocked. It was obvious that I had hit his vital point directly." Ren Yuanshen said convincingly, "Didn't they say that if the Red Emperor Palace in Tanzhong is destroyed, no matter if it's a human or a demon, they will surely die?"

"Because the black zombie is dead." The elder sister understood and said, "It has no soul, nor three corpses. It is neither born nor dies, and is not in the six realms of sentient beings. Therefore, the Thunderbolt Sword cannot kill it completely. It can only break its defense like this and then blow it to pieces."

"Like a moving puppet?" Ren Yuan understood.

"That's right." The senior sister nodded and reminded Ren Yuan: "If you meet him alone, you must run away."

"Don't worry, senior sister. I promise I can escape faster than anyone else." Ren Yuan nodded and smiled.

~~
Deep in the mountains of Fangxian Township, in a dark cave without sunlight, four locust wood coffins were placed in the shape of a "mouth".

Mr. Chen was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the room, and suddenly he felt a pain in his heart, and shed dark tears, saying, "Little Blackie is dead."

The three coffins began to shake violently, and incomprehensible roars were heard from inside.

"Father knows you are all very sad." Mr. Chen could understand and sighed, "Alas, it's all your fault. I thought that relying on Xiao Heizi alone was enough. I didn't expect that there were actually hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this rural area."

The three coffins began to shake again, as if they had different opinions.

"Yes, it was also Xiao Heizi's fault for being careless. I clearly told it not to fight too long and to bite a few people in each village to create panic. But it refused to leave and ended up being surrounded and killed on the spot." Mr. Chen stretched out his dark bony hand and clenched his fist tightly, saying:
"It's a pity that your father has an important mission and cannot avenge Xiao Heizi right away."

The three coffins banged again, and the coffin lids could no longer hold them down. "Big Black, Second Black, Third Black, stop fighting." Mr. Chen looked at the sky getting brighter outside and said in a deep voice, "I've decided. Tomorrow night, the three of you will go out together. I want to see who can hurt you!"

The three coffins finally calmed down.

"But I still have the same request. Don't fight too long, just create panic!" Mr. Chen said earnestly: "As long as we scare those township officials into asking the county for help, we will have completed our mission. I don't want to lose any of you again."

A roar was heard again from one of the coffins.

"Yes, Dahei is right. We must avenge Xiaoheizi." Mr. Chen nodded and said, "Don't worry, when that Xie seals off the whole village, no one will be left alive!"

~~
The whole day was indeed calm and there were no alarms of attack in the entire township.

But as the sky gradually darkened, people's hearts began to rise again. No one knew if there would be more black zombies attacking tonight...

As a result, what you fear will come true. In the middle of the night, another village in the north of the township was attacked. Fortunately, all the villages were on high alert tonight, and the head of the village immediately crushed the talisman to ask for help from He Bo.

When Tian Liangzi received the call for help, he crushed the mountain temple's summoning talisman and called his teacher, "Tell them that I'm going to Xiaojia Village!"

Without waiting for the teacher's wife to respond, he turned into a gust of wind and headed straight for Xiaojia Village.

"He Bo is really energetic." Teacher Po praised. She knew that although He Bo didn't say it, he actually wanted to avenge his shame, so he worked particularly hard...

Not long after, a fiery red figure came rushing over. It was Senior Sister Ren Yuanhe who came to reinforce after hearing the news.

"He Bo..." Before Ren Yuan could finish his question, the teacher pointed to the north and said unhappily, "Xiaojia Village."

The fiery red leopard disappeared into the night in an instant.

"How rude." The teacher spat.

~~
At the same time, Tian Liangzi was already in Xiaojia Village, fighting with a black zombie!
Although the black zombie was extremely powerful and quick in movement, it was nowhere near as flexible as Tian Liangzi and could not hurt the slippery eel monster at all.

However, although Tian Liangzi had the upper hand, he couldn't kill the undead monster alone. His special move, "Extreme Yang Water Mine Explosion", needed to be charged up, so he had to entangle the opponent and wait for Ren Yuan and the others to come over so that they could work together to kill it.

The black zombie seemed to have discovered his intention, and suddenly jumped several feet away during the fight!
"Where are you escaping?!" Tian Liangzi was prepared, and he opened his mouth and fired a water dragon cannon, spraying the black zombie and making it stagger. He quickly pounced on it again, clasping his hands together, ready to give it a piercing hammer!
Suddenly his scalp went numb and he instinctively sensed the danger approaching, and he immediately twisted his body into a knot!

Then another black zombie broke out of the ground and hit his stomach with its head!
Even though Tian Liangzi dodged in time, he was still hit so hard that he vomited yellow water from his mouth and a row of his ribs were broken.

Worse was yet to come. At the same time, a third black zombie fell from the sky and bit Tian Liangzi's neck.

At the critical moment, Tian Liangzi revealed his true form and barely avoided the vital points, but had a large piece of flesh torn off.

The other two black zombies also pounced on the big yellow eel, tearing and biting it frantically to avenge the little black man.

The big yellow eel screamed and rolled over on the ground, trying to shake off the three black zombies that were like a thorn in its side, but it couldn't...
