Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 438: Underworld Demonic Corpse!

As for the tomb in front of Gu Yuan, it was only marked with the words "deceased" on the treasure map.

Gu Yuan sensed an extremely dense aura of corpses and death emanating from this figure, surging and turbulent like a tidal wave, far more terrifying than the bone fangs from before.

Even Gu Yuan was unwilling to fight him.

It wasn't fear, but rather that this figure was too troublesome.

Gu Yuan estimated that even if he could win, he would probably have to pay a price.

Moreover, it will waste time and there is no guarantee of any results.

Gu Yuan would never do something that would result in a loss and a waste of effort.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan slowly stepped back to show that he had no hostility, and then turned and left.

As he left, Gu Yuan glanced back and saw the entrance to the tomb, where the figure had revealed some traces.

The clothes on the figure were mostly rotten, revealing a strong and bloated body with obvious signs of decay and oozing yellowish corpse fluid.

The murky, putrid fluid dripped onto the ground, corroding even the stones with a hissing sound, creating deep pits.

Furthermore, Gu Yuan clearly saw that part of the figure's body surface was covered with some fine scales.

These scales have a dull yellow hue, exuding a filthy aura of decay, gloom, death, and danger, extremely yin and turbid.

It seems that as long as a wisp of its aura is leaked out, it will corrode everything and cause unimaginable harm to people.

Even Gu Yuan's skin was tingled with goosebumps at this moment.

The hairs on his back stood on end, giving off an unusually dangerous feeling.

It should be noted that Gu Yuan's current physical strength is comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator at the peak of physical cultivation.

Even the most powerful magical artifacts could hardly harm him in a short time, yet he reacted this way to the aura emanating from this mysterious evil corpse, which is enough to demonstrate the terrifying nature of this evil corpse.

"Yellow bodily fluids flowed from its body, and it even grew dark yellow scales... Could this evil corpse be..."

Gu Yuan quickened his pace unconsciously, while his mind raced, recalling some words he had once casually read in a travelogue left by an ancient cultivator.

There is a special kind of zombie in the world called the Yellow Springs Demon Corpse, which is an extremely terrifying evil creature.

The corpse fluid flowing from its body is extremely turbid, vile, yin, and evil, capable of corroding everything, even the soul of a cultivator will be dissolved upon contact.

Even if magical artifacts and treasures are tainted by some of the foul and evil energy, their essence will be corroded and polluted, and they will eventually become scrap metal and slag.

The scales on its body are also a unique type of demonic scales, with terrifyingly strong defensive capabilities.

Furthermore, these Yellow Springs Demon Corpses mostly retain their memories from their previous lives and possess considerable intelligence and wisdom.

To be precise, the Yellow Springs Demon Corpse can no longer be considered a zombie, but rather a different kind of demon.

The Corpse Demon and Bone Fang were already considered rare evil spirits in the world, but the Yellow Springs Corpse Demon is far rarer than the two mentioned above. Often, only one might be born every few thousand years.

You could even say that. There are always a few zombies like the Golden Armored Corpse King, but many powerful Yin Gods and Yang Gods might never encounter such a Yellow Spring Demon Corpse in their entire lives.

The conditions for the birth of this kind of demonic corpse are extremely harsh, and it is unknown how it was conceived in this place.

Having confirmed the other party's identity, Gu Yuan quickened his pace.

Even Gu Yuan himself wasn't confident he could kill it; he could only say he was confident he could defeat it.

The Yellow Spring Corpse Water on the Yellow Spring Demon Corpse, even magical treasures, except for special pure Yang magical treasures or a few Buddhist treasures, will be corroded if they come into contact with it.

This is absolutely a terrifying technique comparable to the rudimentary form of a great supernatural power.

If Gu Yuan really wanted to fight it, although he could handle it by relying on the Chaos Divine Thunder, swordsmanship, and the Infinite Divine Escape, who knew what other terrifying methods this Yellow Spring Demon Corpse had?
And as I said before, engaging in magical combat with the opponent not only brings no benefit, but can even easily lead to losses (magical artifacts are easily contaminated, and even if they are not destroyed, their quality will decrease), so there is absolutely no need for him to engage in magical combat with them.

Fortunately, for some unknown reason, this Yellow Spring Demon Corpse only watched Gu Yuan's departing figure and did not make a move.

Otherwise, Gu Yuan would really be in some trouble.

However, this also made Gu Yuan feel that this Yellow Spring Demon Corpse should have some of its memories from its previous life, otherwise if it only had instincts, it would have attacked him long ago.

After encountering the Bone Fang and the Yellow Springs Demon Corpse, Gu Yuan became more cautious.

After all, who knows what even more troublesome things might come next?!

Fortunately, perhaps Gu Yuan was lucky. Although he encountered some powerful evil spirits and ghosts afterward, he ultimately did not encounter anything like the Bone Fang, Corpse Demon, or Yellow Spring Demon Corpse.

After he easily dealt with it, he walked along and soon arrived at the deepest part of the entire cave.

Then he saw a grave.

Compared to the tomb where the Yellow Spring Demon Corpse was buried, the tomb in front of them was obviously larger. It was built of some kind of dark gray stone, and although it looked rough, it was also quite solemn and grand, exuding a sense of majesty and gloom.

In front of this large tomb stands a stone tablet with the words "Residence of the Dead" written on it!

What do you mean?
Normal graves are usually inscribed with the names of "True Man of the Netherworld" or "Old Demon of the Netherworld," along with details about his age, status, and achievements.

As for the words "Department of the Dead" in front of us, they are not for the dead. Only the living are worthy of enjoying the title of "Department".

If that's the case, then it means the other party clearly doesn't want to die, or even isn't dead!
"Could it be that this old demon Youhai is planning to cause some trouble before he dies?"

Gu Yuan's eyes flickered, and he vaguely felt that the Old Demon Youhai was definitely not up to any good.

Next, Gu Yuan did not act rashly, but carefully observed the surrounding situation.

Gu Yuan discovered that an unknown array was clearly set up on the surface of the tomb, with strands of restrictive spiritual light hidden within the tomb.

Furthermore, observing its spiritual light, one senses a deep demonic aura lurking within its gloom. All the restrictive spiritual lights are interconnected, condensing into a solid block, almost like an iron plate. Occasionally, the wails of fierce ghosts and evil spirits can be heard, clearly indicating a demonic formation, and its grade and power are definitely not small.

At least, Gu Yuan estimated that if he went all out and spent a day or two, he might be able to break it. But the key was, who knew what other tricks the Old Demon Youhai had set up in this tomb?
If the Old Demon Youhai has other tricks up his sleeve, Gu Yuan might have wasted his efforts and even end up benefiting Old Man Hu and the others.

"Hmm, should we wait for Old Hu and his group to come and handle this together?"
