Immortal Dao Fruits, Cards to Help Me

Chapter 75 Fighting the Corpse Hou

Pushing open the heavy main burial chamber door, the stone door rattled as it dragged across the floor tiles.

Once the door opened, the main burial chamber, about the size of a basketball court, was dark overhead and appeared to be quite high.

One by one, the torches and oil lamps lit up automatically, and there were two small, vat-like eternal lamps on either side of the coffin in the very center, each containing a small vat of red and yellow lamp oil and a wick.

I don't know what kind of oil it is, but it has been burning for thousands of years without going out.

Chen Xiuxian took the lead, walking at the very front. His four teammates followed cautiously behind.

As soon as they entered, the body of the Buyeo general in the coffin suddenly opened its eyes, and long red hairs sprouted from every pore of its body.

Chen Xiuxian pointed his sword to the side, signaling his teammates to scatter.

As a result, the huge stone coffin lid flew up with a thud and slammed straight towards Chen Xiuxian.

Chen Xiuxian leaped backward and dodged away.

The stone coffin lid, four fingers thick, crashed to the ground.

If this hits someone, the 3D will instantly turn into 2D, and you'll have to use a shovel to clean up the mess.

This thing, weighing several hundred pounds, flew two or three meters high and five or six meters away. That's quite a force!

At this moment, inside the stone sarcophagus with its rough relief carvings, a burly and tall figure sat up, and the wooden coffin lid beside him had silently fallen to the ground at some unknown time.

With a "whoosh," the thing jumped out of the coffin. Although it wasn't like a zombie whose legs couldn't bend, it was still very stiff.

Chen Xiuxian's eyes lit up as he examined the item.

Red-haired Corpse Hou of the Ancient Fuyu Kingdom, Level 29, Leader-level Corpse Monster...

Chen Xiuxian saw arm strength? And defense?

This is not good news.

The monstrous corpse's armor was tattered and torn, but its body was intact, though somewhat shriveled and had a bluish tinge.

A thin layer of fine red downy hair grew out of the body hair, not very thick, and you could still see the bluish skin underneath.

But when the firelight shone on it, a dark red color appeared to be flowing.

Its hairstyle was somewhat like that of a Mediterranean, with a shaved top and long hair around the sides. Its eyes no longer resembled eyes, but rather dark red stone spheres, devoid of any luster. Its jaw was clenched, unlike the long fangs of a zombie.

This thing must be 2.5 meters tall!
Its joints are large, and its hands alone are the size of palm-leaf fans.

How come the general of the ancient kingdom of Buyeo is so tall? Was he a little giant in his lifetime?
It took a deep breath, and two streams of pale, corpse-like energy entered its nostrils. Then, its entire body began to swell. In just two breaths, it transformed from a shriveled creature into a massive, monstrous corpse giant!
Then, as he opened his mouth, a sigh of relief escaped his throat, and a stench of death filled the air. It was an indescribable, foul smell, not strong, but unpleasant.

It slowly twisted its neck, then reached out and its long arm picked up a long weapon from the weapon rack next to it. This thing was hard to describe; it looked like a variant of an axe.

Although it's covered in rust, where's the weight?

With a single wave of its hand, the red-haired corpse beast unleashed a strange gust of wind.

On the other side, in a section of the tomb chamber decorated like a stable, a pile of bones began to be assembled with a clattering sound; it was the skeletal horse that the red-haired corpse beast rode!
"According to plan! Kill its horse first!" Chen Xiuxian shouted, and charged forward with his Changhong Sword.

Leaping over the grass, soaring high above, infusing magic power and sword energy, then pouncing!

Chen Xiuxian rushed over like a shadow, leaped into the air, and with his long rainbow sword spitting out bright red sword energy, he slashed at the head of the red-haired corpse beast.

Although the corpse beast had lost consciousness, its fighting instincts remained, and it immediately attacked with its axe!

A soft "ding" sounded.

Chen Xiuxian's Changhong sword left a fingernail-sized notch on the broad, heavy blade of the axe. For a weapon almost two palms wide, it was nothing at all.

Despite its bulky, dark, and rusty appearance, this thing is surprisingly resilient thanks to the corpse energy of the corpse beast.

Chen Xiuxian felt a tremendous force from the impact and used it to adjust his posture. He kicked the corpse beast in the face with one foot, then somersaulted backward.

hiss~
It’s not easy to deal with!
Although this sword strike wasn't a full-force attack and still mobilized a significant amount of magical power, it didn't cause any damage.

As for that kick, it was like kicking a boulder; the opponent didn't budge an inch!
This thing is ridiculously powerful!
Moreover, with his current strength, enhanced by magical power, a kick from him would likely kill an ordinary person instantly.

As a result, the corpse beast didn't even shake its head, and its nose wasn't even broken.

That's incredibly resilient!

The skeletal warhorse was only level 19, which was considered an elite unit, but it was torn to pieces in less than 30 seconds by the combined attack of its four teammates.

Chen Xiuxian also took the opportunity to check the spoils; the guy who released the wasps had obtained a green-quality saddle.

Meanwhile, Chen Xiuxian had already exchanged blows with the corpse beast for several rounds. Although he had the initiative on the offensive, the beast's health bar had barely touched the target! Four teammates had arrived to provide support, flanking the beast from all sides.

Chen Xiuxian said, "According to the plan, disarm it!"

There is some information about the tomb of the general of Buyeo Kingdom on the forum.

There is also a lot of information about the final boss.

Chen Xiuxian and his group pieced together what they knew and devised a battle plan: first kill the horse, then disarm it, and finally slowly wear it down.

This is a relatively effective method that players have determined after trying it many times.

This red-haired corpse beast had astonishingly high defense. Taking advantage of his teammates' distraction, Chen Xiuxian unleashed a sword aura at the corpse beast's chest. The tattered armor and clothes scattered everywhere, but the sword aura, which could cut through an iron rod several centimeters long, only left a wound about two centimeters deep on the corpse beast's chest, revealing the dark blue-black muscles beneath...

Other methods, such as fire talismans, poisonous insects and wasps, drawing a circle on the ground to imprison, and flying stones, are all very ineffective.

A quick victory is unlikely, at least not for Chen Xiuxian and his five companions. They lack that kind of powerful attack.

If his ebony sword is successfully forged, it will save him some trouble.

For now, the only option is to wait and see.

During this time, Gadak tried to control one of the corpse beast's arms with his whip, but the corpse beast swung its arm and flung him away, making him somersault in the air before slamming him against the wall with a "smack".

It slid down slowly, like a painting, and it took a while before it finally exhaled.

His teammates almost thought he'd been instantly killed!
The man released the wasps, but they didn't break the skin. Instead, many of them were poisoned by the corpse qi emanating from the corpse beast's mouth and nose. In the time it took to breathe, thirty or forty of them fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

The older brother was heartbroken and quickly put the rest back into the gourd.

That soldier was caught in a charge by the corpse beast wielding an axe—for his girlfriend's sake, he had no choice but to endure it.

The result was that the corpse energy and the blood-gathering smoke collided, and it was incredibly exciting. The lighting effects were pretty good!
Then this guy also climbed up the wall, and the spear in his hand was a little bent.

His girlfriend wasn't much better off. She risked throwing a thunderbolt into the corpse beast's mouth, only to have her face splattered with corpse energy that suddenly shot out. Her face turned white instantly, and she almost fainted.

Otherwise, her boyfriend wouldn't have had to endure the corpse beast's attack to buy her time to take the antidote.

This corpse beast was somewhat like a soul-type monster, with all sorts of skills, fast and slow attacks, and it came at a lightning speed, leaving the group rolling on the ground in disarray.

Even Chen Xiuxian possessed a wide range of skills.

The first time he saw the enemy, he directly withstood the ramming of the mine cart without taking a single step back.

The minecarts were burning out—the iron wheels were smoking! Finally, the corpse beast grabbed one of them and threw it away.

They even brought out and used the Ruyi Jingu Bang and the Bewitching Mirror.

The Bewitching Mirror isn't very useful; this Corpse Hou has no mind and is immune to such attacks. If there were a way to control a corpse, that would be worth trying.

However, the Ruyi was very useful. A cold current passed by, and ice covered the corpse beast's body. After three waves, one of its legs was frozen in the ice.

Chen Xiuxian also released a grass dragon, which grew to the thickness of a thigh, to entangle the corpse beast.

He gathered his sword energy at the tip of his sword and stabbed it into the eyes of the corpse beast!
……

Chen Xiuxian leaped over the corpse beast's head and kicked it in the back of the head mid-air.

At this moment, the corpse beast's armor was tattered and its body was riddled with holes. It was no longer as powerful and unshakeable as it had been at the beginning.

The kick caused it to involuntarily lean forward, and Chen Xiuxian suddenly put away the grass dragon, and the Rainbow Fire Fan appeared in his hand, which he then swung fiercely!
With approximately 400 points of mana injected, a swirling flame enveloped the corpse beast, its orange-yellow flames rapidly burning away its remaining corpse energy.

Chen Xiuxian controlled his strength perfectly. Although the tomb chamber suddenly became extremely hot, it was not so hot that it turned into a roasting duck in a simmering oven. On the contrary, the corpse qi on the already teetering corpse beast had almost completely dissipated.

Chen Xiuxian channeled his last bit of magic power into the Rainbow Sword, unleashing the move "Divine Dragon Emerges"!
A dragon-shaped sword aura flew out, swirled around the corpse beast, and continued flying forward, cutting a crack in the tomb's stone wall before disappearing.

With a "thud," the upper body of the corpse beast, still emitting blue smoke, fell diagonally to the ground.

He supported his waist with both feet and stood firmly in place without falling.
