Ghost Immortal

But Li Feng felt that something was wrong.

After the Zombie King entered the shrine, the fog around the shrine became too thick.

Li Feng wasn't sure if the Corpse Qi Concealment Technique could fool the white-haired zombies and black-haired zombies, or the Zombie King.

Blood Corpses are the Zombie King's closest guards, and there is a special connection between them.

If you wake one person up, that's it.

They don't use their noses to smell; instead, they rely on the fluctuations of the earth's energy to perceive external objects.

In other words, as long as Li Feng and Qiu Sheng's feet are still on the ground, the blood corpse can sense their presence through the ground vibrations.

"Senior brother, take off your shoes."

Li Feng said in a low voice, while starting to untie his straw sandals.

"Why take off your shoes? To cover up your yang energy with athlete's foot?" Qiu Sheng asked, looking puzzled and thoughtful.

Li Feng rolled his eyes: "Blood corpses sense external objects by relying on fluctuations in the earth's energy. The vibrations from the soles of your shoes on the ground will be detected by them."

"Wrap your feet in cloth, and when you step on the ground, land on your toes, and synchronize each step with the rhythm of the earth's breath."

Although Qiu Sheng didn't quite understand, he still did as he was told, knowing that Li Feng was more reliable than him.

The two took off their shoes, tore strips of cloth from their bundles, and wrapped their feet in layers of cloth.

The cloth strips were wrapped so thickly that they made almost no sound when stepped on.

Li Feng then took out a small jade bottle containing breathing-holding pills from his pocket, poured out one pill, and handed it to Qiu Sheng.

"Swallow it first. From now on, don't breathe."

Qiu Sheng took the pill, tilted his head back, and swallowed it.

The breath-holding pills melt in the mouth and have a bitter taste reminiscent of Polygonum multiflorum.

The medicine spread down his throat, and his lungs felt as if they were wrapped in a thin film, temporarily suppressing his breathing instinct.

Li Feng also swallowed a pill, then made a gesture towards Qiu Sheng.

The two stood up from the ruins and stepped out.

Their feet trod on the bluestone ground without making a sound.

The cloth strips wrapped around the soles of the feet moved in rhythm with the earth's breath.

Each step was taken in the gap between two fluctuations of the earth's energy, like two fallen leaves floating on the water, silent and still.

There were still some scattered zombies on the open ground; they hadn't gone far.

A black-haired zombie stood in the corner next to the ruins, chewing on a bone it had picked up from somewhere.

Its eyes are blind, but its two ears are constantly turning, sensing the movement around it.

Li Feng and Qiu Sheng walked three steps away from it, and it didn't react at all.

The Corpse Aura Concealment Technique, combined with the Breath-Holding Pill, made them undetectable to the zombies.

The two slowly crossed the open space and approached the ancestral hall.

The closer you are to the ancestral hall, the higher the frequency of the earth's energy fluctuations.

The ground of the ancestral hall trembled slightly, causing the black and red mist in the air to surge.

The mist flowed along the ground, like dark red snakes slithering around my feet.

Li Feng looked up and glanced at the position of the moon.

The moon was already setting in the west, and there was less than an incense stick's time left until midnight.

"Senior brother, let's climb over the wall from the side."

He pointed to the courtyard wall on the west side of the ancestral hall and gestured to Qiu Sheng.

Qiu Sheng nodded, and the two of them walked along the wall to the west side of the ancestral hall.

Li Feng squatted down, placed his hands on his knees, and gestured for Qiu Sheng to step on his hands to climb up.

Qiu Sheng gathered his energy, lightly touched the palm of Li Feng's hand with his toes, and landed on the top of the wall.

He leaned over the wall and glanced into the courtyard, but his expression suddenly changed drastically.

A huge black lacquered coffin was parked in the courtyard.

The coffin was twice the size of an ordinary coffin, measuring two zhang in length, eight chi in width, and almost reaching Qiu Sheng's chest in height.

The coffin was entirely black, with no decorative patterns on its surface, only a thick layer of black lacquer.

The outside of the nine coffin boards were covered with coffin fungus.

The blood-red caps were packed together in layers, each as big as a palm.

The cap surface is covered with dark golden patterns, like blood vessels winding through the flesh.

The stipe is as thick as a finger, digging deep into the wood of the coffin board, like a tentacle growing out of the coffin.

But what made Qiu Sheng's expression change was the four blood-soaked corpses standing next to the coffin!

They all stood at the four corners of the coffin, facing the coffin and with their backs to the courtyard wall.

Each blood-soaked corpse had its hands pressed against the coffin lid, its black fingernails digging into the cracks in the coffin lid.

They are using their own corpse energy to suppress the coffin lid!

The one-eyed old man's secret method mentioned that when the earth's energy changes at three-quarters past midnight, the coffin lid will briefly loosen.

But Qiu Sheng did not expect that the blood corpse would use this method to prevent the coffin lid from being opened.

The Zombie King doesn't need the blood zombies to suppress the coffin lid.

What needs to be suppressed is something else inside the coffin.

Qiu Sheng suddenly realized that there was not only a zombie king in the coffin, but also a female zombie!

The Zombie King is the Zombie King of Tengteng Town, and the female zombie in the coffin is his former partner!

No wonder the Zombie King always returns to the shrine when he worships the moon; it's not because the shrine is the safest place.

It was because his partner was trapped in the coffin and couldn't get out, and he had to use his own death energy to help her suppress the coffin lid!

Just as Qiu Sheng was in shock, Li Feng had already silently landed beside him.

He glanced into the courtyard, but his expression didn't change much.

While observing the earth's energy flow during the day, he had already noticed that the aura under the coffin lid was abnormal.

The zombie king's aura was dark red, while the other aura he sensed was blood red.

It is more violent and unstable than the zombie king's corpse energy.

There were indeed two zombies in the coffin, and the female zombie's cultivation level was no lower than that of the Zombie King.

The reason the Zombie King was able to suppress her was because he possessed the Corpse Pill.

The female zombie's corpse essence was completely absorbed by coffin bacteria over several hundred years.

Coffin fungus is not a parasitic fungus that grows on coffin boards, but rather it is formed from the corpse pills of a female zombie.

The one-eyed old man was only half right; he didn't know the other half himself.

Coffin fungus can indeed absorb all evil energy, but it doesn't absorb the evil energy that invades from the outside; rather, it absorbs the corpse energy of the zombies inside the coffin.

The blood-red coffin fungus is precious because it contains the essence of a female zombie's cultivation over hundreds of years.

The Zombie King prevented the female zombie from coming out, using her corpse energy to nourish the coffin fungus.

On the other hand, it also prevents her from going berserk after losing the suppression of the coffin bacteria.

"Junior brother, all four blood corpses are still here, how do we get in?"

Qiu Sheng held the writing in his palm, not daring to make a sound.

Li Feng took out two immobilization talismans from his sleeve and handed one to Qiu Sheng.

"Senior brother, you climb in from the east side, and I'll go in from the west side. The immobilization talisman only works on the blood corpse for a moment, so we must pry open the coffin lid as soon as possible."

"After you pry open the coffin lid, senior brother, you distract the female zombie, and I'll harvest the coffin fungus."

Qiu Sheng's eyes widened as he pointed to his face: "Me, lure away the female zombie? She's even more ferocious than the Zombie King! How am I supposed to lure her away, with my handsome looks?"

Li Feng took out a small cloth bag from his pocket, inside which were several long, jet-black fingernails.

This thing was a treasure that Si Mei gave to Li Feng before he left; it can disguise him as a zombie.

He handed the fingernail to Qiu Sheng, then took out a few hemp ropes and gestured for Qiu Sheng to tie the fingernail to his own finger.

"Senior brother, there is a strict hierarchy among zombies. The longer the fingernails, the deeper the cultivation and the higher the status. The Zombie King's fingernails are only three inches long. If you wear these fingernails and wave them in front of a female zombie, she will think you are more powerful and will admire you."

Qiu Sheng looked at his long, black fingernails with a constipated expression.

"What if the female zombie wants to sleep with me?"

Li Feng teased, "Then you're in for a treat. The female zombie king is really refreshing in the heat."

"Go to hell! I won't give up my virginity so easily!" Qiu Sheng gritted his teeth, wrapped the hemp rope around his fingers, and tied his long fingernails one by one.

After being tied up, his hands looked like two sharp claws.

The fingernails were nine inches long, six inches longer than the Zombie King's fingernails.

"Junior brother, how should I behave to attract the female zombie?"

"Just be fierce, bare your teeth, and brandish your nails in front of her."

Will she chase after me?

"Definitely, female zombies admire strength the most."

Qiu Sheng's face instantly turned green: "Damn it, am I going to lose my virginity to a zombie?"

"You're a virgin?" Li Feng asked incredulously.
