I am Jinshan Youxia

Anyone would feel very uncomfortable being held by the neck and lifted into the air for a long time. An ordinary person would probably die, only a monster could withstand it.

Zhang Chengyi said matter-of-factly, "If you let go, what if you run away?"

Mrs. Hua was speechless.

Zhang Chengyi then asked, "By the way, you just said that zombies have spirits but no souls, and that as they get stronger, their corpse energy will wear down their seven spirits, eventually leading to their self-destruction. Is there any way to solve this?"

He locked onto the soul within his body. As the corpse energy strengthened, the soul weakened. Clearly, it wasn't a simple attrition, but rather a process of mutual attrition.

According to the man who was shopping, if the seven souls were gone, the zombie would also be gone, and he suspected that this was also part of the game.

A game where the stronger you are, the more likely you are to perish is trash.

Mrs. Hua frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Zombies have spirits but no souls, while ghosts have souls but no spirits. The best way to make a zombie last is to let a ghost live in its body, so that the spirits can unite, which is in accordance with the way of heaven. The damage of the corpse energy to the seven spirits will naturally be neutralized..."

As she spoke, she secretly glanced at the zombie's face.

Well, I couldn't see anything, after all, it's a monster with a frozen face.

She now suspects that there is no sorcerer behind the scenes, but rather a powerful ghost possessing the zombie's body and communicating with her.

[That sounds plausible]

Zhang Chengyi suddenly realized that although it sounded like the zombie could survive using this method, according to the method the other party had just described, the soul was spirit but the body was foolish. If a ghost entered the zombie's body, wouldn't the zombie be at the mercy of the ghost?

It seems that zombies are indeed low-level monsters in this world, with no prestige whatsoever.

But it seemed like a solution to him. Anyway, he wasn't worried about the ghost being controlled after it entered his body. What a joke, how powerful would a ghost have to be to take control of the body from a modifier spirit?

So the next step is to find a ghost and stuff it into your body to try it out. That would be a soul-to-soul union, which sounds a bit creepy.

[Wait, A Chinese Ghost Story! Damn it, Ning Caichen, goodbye, Xiaoqian is mine!]

Zhang Chengyi made a decisive decision: if he was going to cooperate with the ghost, he would definitely choose a well-known and familiar person, otherwise wouldn't it be a wasted trip?

We need to hurry over there, otherwise it will be troublesome if Ning Caichen has already met Xiaoqian. Minions are the worst kind of people.

Unfortunately, it was daytime now, with the sun high in the sky. As a zombie, he had tried it before; when exposed to sunlight, his stiff arms hissed and steamed. The evaporation of his corpse energy was a minor issue; his body was being destroyed.

"Snapped!"

Another flash of lightning, and the young mistress of the Hua family, who was making hand seals behind her back, began to tremble.

Zhang Chengyi's face, now even darker, showed no discernible expression as he said:

"Tell me about the spells you know."

-----------------

One day later, at night, outside Guobei County, on the official road.

Are you sure we didn't go to the wrong place this time?

Zhang Chengyi skipped forward, holding the living, breathing Hua Shao Nai Nai in his hand, which swayed with each jump. After he stopped, he looked at the woods not far away, smelled a faint scent of blood, and asked.

He went to the wrong place last night.

Guided by his mistress, he ran into the territory of a giant corpse demon and, unsurprisingly, a fight broke out.

The solution was simple: he immediately increased the power of the heavenly lightning to three times, and the corpse demon was instantly electrocuted to ashes.

Hilarious! The way the corpse demon attacks people is no different from that of a zombie. It rushes over and tries to slap, bite, and scratch with its claws, but it collapses on the spot as soon as it makes contact.

“Absolutely right. See those trees? Actually, every single one of them is a tree demon. I can smell its demonic aura from a great distance.”

Mrs. Hua said firmly that if she made another mistake and was struck by lightning, she suspected that her thousand years of cultivation would be destroyed in one fell swoop.

A zombie that can summon heavenly lightning is truly unheard of and unseen.

That's so bizarre. The other party should be more afraid of heavenly lightning, so why is it that being repeatedly shocked ultimately harms her cultivation?

Mrs. Hua felt that her experiences over the past two days and one night were almost bringing her to tears.

Zhang Chengyi was completely unafraid and jumped into the woods without hesitation. He had already discovered that these evil spirits were all afraid of heavenly lightning, including himself.

The smell was off as soon as I went in.

The smell of blood turned into a strange stench, and rustling sounds echoed throughout the forest.

"Young Master Hua's wife."

"You're carrying a stinky zombie."

"Come to my territory."

"doing what?"

The sounds of men and women mingled from all directions, and the trees kept shifting their positions. Zhang Chengyi felt a momentary lapse in concentration and didn't even know where he was.

"Grandma, look closely, I was also captured by this old man."

Mrs. Hua said loudly.

"Hmm~" Zhang Chengyi hummed softly, indicating that if you said any more, he would start flirting.

Mrs. Hua immediately shut her mouth and remained silent.

"Just this?"

The tree spirit grandmother's tone was somewhat disdainful. No matter how powerful a zombie is, it is still against the way of heaven. It is abandoned by humans, ghosts, gods, Buddhas, and demons. With its innate deficiencies and suicidal growth path, apart from the occasional thick-skinned one that pops out to disgust people, most of the time, zombies are the lowest and most worthless monsters.

It's not enough to just have some strength to get by; you need brains and the ability to survive.

Monsters don't use their brains; they'll stay zombies forever.

"Whoosh!" Several thick vines shot up from the ground and wrapped Zhang Chengyi and Hua Shao's wife tightly.

“Young Mistress Hua, I think you are quite attractive. Why don’t you let me introduce you to Xiaoqian and marry the Black Mountain Demon together?”

The tree spirit grandmother's voice rang out with a smile.

Mrs. Hua's face turned green, and she shouted, "Let go! Let go! You old monster, let go!"

Why do these monsters always seem to like grabbing people?

Zhang Chengyi shook his head, sighed, and quietly increased the power of the Heavenly Thunder.

"Snapped!"

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!" x2

Chapter 225 Destroy it, I'm tired.

"Tianlei!"

The tree spirit, who had been thoroughly electrocuted, spoke in both male and female voices at the same time. Tentacle-like vines snapped off one by one, and the voices shrilly said, "Young Master Hua, we'll see."

The words were harsh, but the demon ran away very quickly.

"It ran away," said Mrs. Hua, shivering.

Heavenly thunder is extremely yang and strong, making it incredibly powerful in warding off evil and demons. Moreover, it is known for its destructive power. Not to mention demons and monsters that are naturally restrained, even a well-organized ghost messenger or heavenly soldier would not feel good after being hit by it.

She was able to withstand so many electric shocks not entirely because of her thousand years of cultivation, but more so because she did not rely too much on cannibalism during her cultivation. She is a demon, but not sinister.

The Tree Demon Granny was even worse off than her. She relied on ghosts to absorb people's souls and essences to cultivate, but a single electric shock wiped out her hundred years of cultivation.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Hua felt a strange sense of schadenfreude.

"Find out where the ghosts are around here."

Zhang Chengyi said in a commanding tone that he had just jumped in one step and now he couldn't even find the way out.

“Impossible.” Mrs. Hua replied subconsciously, then quickly added, “This is the territory of the tree demon. The entire forest in Guobei County is under its control. If I am deliberately targeted after entering, it will be extremely difficult to escape, let alone find a way out of the forest, unless its ghosts help guide the way, or there is some way to break its magic.”

She didn't mention continuing to unleash heavenly lightning. If she could use heavenly lightning to cleanse the earth all at once, not to mention a mere thousand-year-old tree demon, even the Black Mountain Demon would perish on the spot.

But after experiencing multiple electric shocks, she had long since realized that the zombies that were grabbing her would also be shocked. Although she didn't know why such yin and evil creatures as zombies could survive being struck by lightning, it was still a lose-lose situation. The idea of ​​shocking a forest within a hundred miles at once seemed like a fantasy.

"Setting fire, what do you think of setting fire?"

Zhang Chengyi inquired, "Anyway, there are plenty of forests these days, and dealing with an old monster won't land me a life sentence."

Mrs. Hua replied, "If we could burn it to death, we wouldn't have allowed it to linger in Guobei County for hundreds of years."

She wasn't completely helpless; a thousand-year-old demon always has some tricks up her sleeve. But firstly, there was no need for her to exert herself for a zombie that was coercing her. Secondly, the constant electric shocks had damaged her cultivation, and she couldn't use some of her tricks now.

Zhang Chengyi said with some distress, "Since arson won't work, it seems the only option is..."

A sense of unease crept into Mrs. Hua's heart, and she quickly said, "Wait, you—"

"Snap! Sizzle!"

A white figure stands out in the woods.

"boom!"

That's really impressive.

Zhang Chengyi tried increasing the amount of heavenly lightning in his mouth and then spitting it out. As a result, the heavenly lightning that had gathered a little bit sensed the corpse energy in his body and exploded on the spot. He was now completely black from the inside out, from head to toe.

However, he also discovered the special features of this zombie body. It was completely immune to injury. Laughable, since the body itself was dead, the source of its movement was the corpse energy and the soul. Once those two things were locked together, the body wouldn't be afraid even if it was blown to pieces.

Judging from the feeling of being directly washed by heavenly lightning just now, even with just his head left, he could probably still be jumping around on his own thanks to the corpse energy.

Um, can it still move if it's just a head?

While Zhang Chengyi was lost in his own thoughts, the young mistress, who had been captured, was left with only one thought—

Destroy it, hurry up and destroy it.

Under normal circumstances, Zhang Chengyi would not voluntarily try things that would cause him pain.

After all, once you become a modder, you're bound to be unwilling to suffer. But ironically, while the heavenly lightning causes pain, the body is cleansed and experiences an equal or greater amount of pleasure.

It hurts, but it's also pleasurable.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Chengyi didn't care at all. After one failure, he simply thought it over and started a second attempt.

"Snap! Sizzle!"

"boom!"

I think there's still a chance to save it.

The second blow cleared Mrs. Hua's eyes completely. She looked at the zombie and wanted to try again, so she said, "Wait."
