I, a cultivator, have ended up in the world of tomb raiding.

Watching the group of tomb raiders being devoured and killed by the rice dumplings, Li Yue quickly untied the ropes binding his feet.

Just now, when the black-haired zombie pounced, he used the biting force of the black-haired zombie's teeth to bite through the knot on his wrist.

With another pull, he broke free of the finger-thick hemp rope.

Then, while everyone was engrossed in the funerary objects and had no time to think about himself as bait, he stepped back against the wall and quietly watched as the group of tomb raiders were torn apart one by one by the zombies.

At this moment, Li Yue saw the tomb raider named Zhuzi running towards the well.

The thief reacted quickly; upon realizing something was wrong, he turned and ran towards the well opening.

He grabbed the rope he had climbed, but unexpectedly, the black-haired zombie on the ground suddenly sprang to life and pounced on him.

"Pfft—"

The claws pierced through his chest in an instant, and blood gushed out.

These people didn't know that after the black-haired rice dumpling was hit by the bullet, it had only entered a state of stagnation and had not completely lost its ability to move.

Their greed for funerary objects blinded them to the terrifying nature of this mutated zombie.

In despair, Zhu Zi's vision blurred, and he suddenly saw the arm that had pierced through his chest being pulled out.

Looking up, I saw that the black-haired rice dumpling had been lifted up from behind.

The black-haired rice dumpling, which was over seven feet tall, was lifted up completely, with its feet more than three inches off the ground.

Behind this Tarzan covered in black hair was the man they had carried all the way here as bait.

His clothes were tattered, he was covered in mud, and his long hair covered half of his face, making it impossible to see his expression.

He glanced at him casually at that moment, and his dark brown eyes revealed a cold and indifferent feeling.

It's like looking at a lower-class creature.

The black-haired zombie, which even bullets couldn't kill, was having its head held by the man's five fingers, as if its life force had been squeezed, causing it to convulse violently and struggle helplessly.

Black Hair trembled violently, his facial features, covered in black fungus-like hairs, twitched incessantly, as if he were enduring immense pain.

Under the pillar's terrified gaze,

The black hairs on the zongzi withered and fell off quickly, and its robust body shrank and dried up rapidly.

In just a few breaths, it turned into a light, desiccated corpse, which the man casually tossed aside.

Zhu Zi's eyes widened instantly, and a "hoarse" sound came from his throat, but only a string of broken blood foam rolled out.

This kid isn't human, he's a monster...

Fear was the only thought that remained in his mind.

Then, the man squatted down, glanced at the wet, smelly stain between his legs, remained silent for a moment, and sighed very softly:

"...Why did you wet your pants?"

Zhu Zi's pupils dilated, he choked on his breath and couldn't catch his breath, and then everything went completely dark.

……

Li Yue stood up, looked at the hair stuck to his hands, and showed a look of disgust.

After this absorption, although he hadn't reached the Qi Refining stage yet, most of the soreness and weakness in his limbs and bones had dissipated, making him feel much more comfortable.

"Ha—click—"

Li Yue turned around and saw that the zombies behind him had already killed all the tomb raiders and were now turning around and rushing towards him.

He clenched his fist and stepped forward to meet them.

These ordinary rice dumplings did not have black mold, but they were still completely black.

It seemed as if they had touched some kind of toxic preservative substance; their skin turned red and ulcerated as soon as they touched it.

Those tomb raiders who were lucky enough to escape from the corpse's claws also collapsed halfway due to poisoning, only to be torn apart.

However, these zongzi were not enough to catch Li Yue's eye.

His gait was stiff, he only knew how to seek out living creatures to tear apart, and he had no intelligence. He was nothing like the zombies he had seen in his previous life.

However, with his cultivation level gone, dealing with more than a dozen rice dumplings at the same time still requires a lot of effort.

Fortunately, these rice dumplings contained far less death energy than the black-haired rice dumplings, and were not yet fully developed rigor mortis.

Li Yue made the first move, aiming specifically at the knee joints of these rice dumplings.

These rice dumplings were already stiff, and when their knees were kicked, they immediately fell to their knees.

He then formed a grasping motion with his five fingers and pinched and twisted the area below the cervical spine on the neck.

With two crisp "snap" sounds, the rice dumpling's neck twisted and it immediately collapsed and lay motionless.

After quickly killing all the rice dumplings here, Li Yue's arm was almost completely red and numb.

Having undergone spiritual practice, his body's resistance is generally stronger than that of ordinary people, and there are no signs of corrosion on his skin and flesh yet.

He searched among the corpses on the ground and finally found one that was relatively intact.

They pulled off the man's clothes, wiped their hands with the shirt, and tossed the pants onto the coffin, intending to let them air out before wearing them again.

Fortunately, half a pancake was also found on this guy.

Li Yue didn't mind, peeled off the outer oil paper, and ate it.

He then closed the half-open coffin beside him, sat down on it, and began to meditate and regulate his breathing.

It was the first time Li Yue had ever meditated in a place littered with corpses and reeking of stench. It took him a full half hour to truly enter a meditative state.

The "Mysterious Pivot Technique" is a mid-grade method that cultivates peaceful Qi.

It is the method that Li Yue practiced after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, and it is also the most suitable cultivation method for him to practice water and earth spiritual cultivation so far.

He calmed his mind and absorbed the deathly atmosphere of the room.

It is both healing and spiritual practice.

The deathly aura permeating the air was rapidly drawn into his body through his acupoints and into his dantian.

After an unknown amount of time, the moment came when all the devoured corpse yin energy had been transformed and absorbed.

He opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashing in his dark gray pupils.

You've entered the Qi Refining stage!

He is at the tenth level of the Qi Refining stage. He has not only healed 70-80% of his injuries, but his cultivation has also reached the second level of Qi Refining, allowing him to use spells.

With his current meager Yin energy, he can now briefly perform basic spells such as concealing his breath, removing dust, and igniting fire a few times.

Try using the Fire-Starting Technique and see what the difference is.

After all, what was circulating in his meridians and dantian at this moment was no longer the clear and refreshing spiritual energy, but rather wisps of cold and yin energy.

He flicked his fingers forward, and the next second, a cluster of flames, two fingers high, leaped into the air.

In the past, he would have drawn upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and only warm yellow flames would rise from his fingertips.

But now, the core of the flame at its deepest point is not the usual warm orange, but rather glows with a cold, bluish light.

It flickered eerily; though it was fire, it carried a chilling, ghostly aura.

"It feels a bit like the underworld..." Li Yue stared at the flames for three seconds before stopping the transmission.

The flames immediately dissipated.

"Now all that's left is the lightning pattern on my body that hasn't faded yet."

He glanced at his bare upper body, his skin a mixture of black and purple, with scorch marks like seal script and patterns resembling dragons and snakes.

"It's a miracle that you survived."

He then used a cleansing spell to clean the trousers beside him and put them on.

While being naked is unrestrained, sitting naked on a coffin lid is really a bit disgusting.

He closed his eyes, about to complete two cycles of internal energy circulation before ending his practice, when he heard a rustling sound of footsteps coming from outside the well entrance.

Someone has come in!
