The End of the Extreme Dao: I Planted a Sacred Tree and Gained Immortality

Chapter 4 Decisiveness
Huo Ying used up all his chakra.

But the attack power is still limited.

The flaming wooden stick was like a porcupine's quill, only strong enough to pierce flesh.

But the corpse ghost was too close and was restrained by the burning poplar wood.

The flying wooden spikes instantly penetrated the corpse's rotten flesh like chopsticks inserted into tofu.

call.

The flames came into contact with the corpse and instantly became stronger.

Perhaps it was the corpse's rotting oil, or perhaps it was the yang attribute of the poplar wood that exploded, the corpse outside the window immediately burst into flames and turned into a fire man.

Huo Ying saw a turbid shadow leaving the rotten corpse, and the flames dissipated. Black mist instantly enveloped the charred corpse, and dense flying insects devoured the corpse in the blink of an eye.

Drive away the zombies!
Huo Ying's legs went weak and he fell to the ground. He watched the black fog swallow up the corpse and then rush into the house. Huo Ying crawled back to the fire and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"The real corpse ghost should be that turbid shadow."

Huo Ying did not dare to let his guard down. He did not know whether the shadow would attach itself to another corpse to avenge him. However, with Wood Release and enough poplar trees, Huo Ying believed that even if the corpse ghost came back, he would be able to drive it away.

"Unfortunately, the Yang Stone is broken."

Huo Ying felt a little distressed. The effect of the Yang Stone was very powerful and could resist the illusion of the corpse ghost. If it weren't for the Yang Stone, he would have been tricked by the corpse ghost into breaking out of the window and having the meal delivered to his door.

"Wait until daytime and ask Zhang Yuqi how she got the Yang Stone. We must stockpile the Yang Stone."

Although frightened by the corpse ghost, Huo Ying was not sleepy at all. He kept his eyes open and watched over the fire all night, and the energy column in his body also recovered a little.

As the sky brightened, the black fog began to dissipate, revealing dense swarms of flying insects. When exposed to the sunlight, all the black insects in the sky melted away.

After observing for a while, Huo Ying made sure that there was no black fog and flying insects, and that the corpse ghost had no revenge, so he hurriedly extinguished the extra fire.

Zhang Yuqi only gave Huo Ying a piece of firewood and a potato. Now the quantity is wrong. If Zhang Yuqi saw it, unnecessary trouble would easily occur.

Fortunately, the floor of the house was not made of wood, but of hard mud. Huo Ying poked the ground with a wooden stick and found that it was easily loose. He immediately dug a small hole and buried the extra potatoes and ashes of firewood in it.

Huo Ying blew out the flames only when only palm-sized pieces of wood were left in the house.

After finishing all this, Huo Ying suddenly felt tired and thirsty.

"Zhang Yuqi didn't give me any water. It seems that water resources in this world are more precious than food."

Thinking of how dirty Bai Jie and Zhang Yuqi looked, it was obvious that they hadn't washed for a long time. If water was easily available, why didn't the two women even wash their hands?

Huo Ying swallowed his saliva, resisted the urge to lick his lips, and sat quietly in the room to recover his strength.

It was not until the energy column in Huo Ying's body recovered two-fifths that footsteps were heard outside the house.

Clang clang clang.

Three sounds.

Unlike the zombie's loud knocking on the door, this time the knocking sound was very close to human habits.

Without the Yang Stone in his arms, Huo Ying held his breath and waited quietly for the movement of the person outside the door.

"Huo Ying?"

Zhang Yuqi's voice sounded, very soft.

"Open the door, it's safe." Huo Ying held his breath and listened carefully. It seemed that the people outside were also listening to the movements in the house. There was a rustling sound on the door.

Taking out a lighter, Huo Ying lit the palm-sized poplar wood in his hand, then stood up gently and walked towards the door.

Although Huo Ying was very careful, Zhang Yuqi still heard a sound in the room, and then said in surprise: "Great, I knew you must be okay!"

Huo Ying took a deep breath and put his palm on the door. The movement outside the house also stopped, just waiting for Huo Ying to open the door.

The next second, Huo Ying suddenly opened the peephole on the door and used up all the air in his body again.

Wood escape, the art of stabbing.

Another burning wooden splinter shot out, and a burst of sparks poured in from the cat's eye. The person knocking on the door was instantly burned to charcoal, and then turned into ashes. Another turbid shadow appeared, but this time, it was not night. Even though the sunlight was not very strong, the turbid shadow was still shrunk by the heat before it ran away in embarrassment.

Sure enough, it was the corpse ghost coming back for revenge.

Huo Ying curled his lips.

Last night he discovered that the yang stone containing the power of the sun and the burning poplar wood could not kill the corpse ghost. This means that in the early morning, the power of the sun is insufficient and the corpse ghost may still be able to move in the early morning.

Although the knocking sound and movements of the corpse ghost this time were very similar to those of a human, Huo Ying still concluded that it was a ghost. In this world, every negligence could lead to death. Even though Huo Ying had only been there for a day, he was sure that Zhang Yuqi would never ask him to open the door like this.

The sun was getting hotter and hotter, and it was noon.

There were footsteps outside the room again, and the footsteps were not concealed.

The footsteps circled the house and stopped at the window.

Then, a bright red yang stone was placed against the window crack. After waiting for a while, there was no change in the yang stone. Zhang Yuqi then carefully glanced at the window crack and observed the situation in the room.

Huo Ying finally let go of his vigilance.

This time you are right, this is what normal humans do. Corpses look very much like humans, but they are not humans after all.

Seeing that Huo Ying was alive, Zhang Yuqi's face lit up with joy. She then knocked on the window with a red yang stone to indicate that she was there. She then ran to the door, took out the key, and unlocked it with a click.

Yes, Zhang Yuqi has the key to this house, and this is also the most important reason why Huo Yinggang dared to act decisively.

Creak, the door opens.

Zhang Yuqi pushed the door open to let the sunlight into the house.

It wasn't until the sunlight fell on Huo Ying, who was sitting facing the gate, that Zhang Yuqi truly smiled.

"Huo Ying, let's go find Sister Bai and give her a surprise!"

Huo Ying stood up excitedly, as if he was saved, with Zhang Yuqi in his eyes. However, Huo Ying did not respond to Zhang Yuqi's words. After the excitement, he frowned in embarrassment, and then picked up the Yangshi fragments on the ground.

"It's not the right time yet. The Yang Stone is broken, and the corpse ghost found me last night." Huo Ying didn't give Zhang Yuqi a chance to speak: "Is it possible that I resisted the infection, but was marked by the corpse ghost, so as long as I don't die or don't get rid of the corpse ghost, the corpse ghost will come to me every night."

Huo Ying said seriously: "I can't go back with you now. Although I have lost my memory, I can feel that you are the person closest to me. You have saved me from the infection. I can't bring danger to you again."

Huo Ying didn't want to go back with Zhang Yuqi. He was protected by the sacred tree and didn't want to expose his abilities. Besides, he was not the real Huo Ying. The excuse of amnesia was too crude. After a long time, Zhang Yuqi would find out that he and the original Huo Ying were not the same person at all.

"I'd better stay here until it's completely safe, then I'll reunite with you guys."

With Wood Release, Huo Ying will never lack fire and food. As long as he can find water, he can survive alone. In fact, it is safer to survive alone.
