Chapter 286: Ghostly head
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
A pair of eyes, red as a blood pearl, dyed the darkness red!
A barbaric aura circled within its eyes.
The heart of the leader of the Fengqing Guards skipped a beat, his body turning rigid on the spot.
But while his scalp felt numb, he retained his reflexes, retreating in a frenzy!
In the blink of an eye, he had already retreated one zhang away!
Just as the leader of the Fengqing Guards was heaving a sigh of relief, his pupils suddenly dilated!
The stone statue before him had vanished!
Creak ——
A weird sound could be heard from behind him. The leader of the Fengqing Guards turned around, only to see a ghostly green face with a mouthful of sharp teeth. It had a fresh heart in its mouth.
Blood splattered everywhere, as the being with the ghostly face chewed on the heart!
In the darkness, the sound of the heart being chewed up ignited fear in the hearts of everyone!
But what made the leader of the Fengqing Guards gasp was the fact that he suddenly felt an intense pain at his back. His vision turned black.
Looking down, he did not know when, but a cavity appeared at his chest area!
His heart had disappeared!
The heart that was being chewed by the evil being with the green face and sharp teeth was none other than his!
But the other party had incredible speed, so fast, that the leader of the Fengqing Guards only felt the pain just before he died!
Silently slumping to the ground, the expression of the leader of the Fengqing Guards was that of fear and pain he felt before his death.
“It’s an evil zombie! Escape quickly!” A more senior Fengqing Guard recognised the monster, his teeth chattering intensely. He let out a roar of fear as he turned to run!
“What? The legendary evil zombie? The evil zombie that is at least Immortal Realm Level One, born from a place of extreme yin energy?”
“Ah! Run quickly!”
The Fengqing Guards, who could lord over the Fengqing Area with their powers combined, all turned to run in fear, upon hearing the name ‘Evil zombie’.
Roar ——
At this moment, the remainder of the stone statues were all revived!
They had green faces and sharp teeth, blood red eyes, and green, ghastly claws!
Turning into streaks of afterimages, they lunged toward the escaping Fengqing Guards.
“Ah! No ——”
Puuuuu ——
Creak Creak ——
In the blink of an eye, howls of fear, pathetic wails, and the sound of blood splattering and sounds of flesh and bone being chewed, all mixed to form a melody of hell!
Fengqing Guards fell rapidly, their pathetic cries filling the air in succession. In the blink of an eye, the corridor had been reduced to a scene from hell!
Su Yu squinted, what a powerful evil zombie!
In terms of abilities, they were at least Immortal Realm Level One!
Roar ——
Suddenly, an evil zombie lunged toward Su Yu.
While his expression changed, Su Yu did not retreat, instead pushing forward deep into the corridor.
The evil zombie had set its sights on Su Yu, hot in pursuit.
At the end of the corridor, the evil zombie cautiously stood before a red line, staring at Su Yu.
Oh? Su Yu’s worry eased. The evil zombie seemed to fear something.
At this moment, he turned to look at the entrance.
The floor was littered with the corpses of the Fengqing Guards. Of the twenty Fengqing Guards, only one made it out alive.
The rest of the people had turned into a feast for the evil zombies!
What a murderous place! There were even upwards of ten evil zombies, despite the difficulty in their formation!
In Su Yu’s opinion, evil zombies must be buried in a place of extreme yin energy, and should have received tempering from evil yin energy for a long time before they could be born.
The harshness of these conditions meant that the evil zombies that appeared in the history of the Zhenlong Continent were few and far between.
To think that there were ten of them here!
Now that it had come to this, Su Yu could only continue inward.
At the end of the corridor was a giant wall. It was as if he had come to the end of this underground relic.
Su Yu was slightly frustrated. He had gained nothing but an area full of evil zombies!
But soon after, Su Yu slowly narrowed his eyes. To be able to make the barbaric and ferocious evil zombies be cautious of the area, this place must have an extraordinary item.
Su Yu felt the wall with his palm, suddenly feeling an icy energy seeping through his hand, welling up in his heart.
Crack ——
A layer of white frost gathered at Su Yu’s palm!
Su Yu’s faze turned serious, full of shock, “What a powerful, chilly energy!”
Su Yu has cultivated ice based techniques. Chilly energy that could freeze his palm was extremely rare.
His gaze flickering, Su Yu launched a fist at the stone wall.
Rumble ——
A surprising scene ensued. A piece of stone broke apart from the clearly indestructible stone wall.
What appeared was a tunnel that could allow for one person to enter above the wall.
A almost material black yin energy billowed out from the hole.
Roar ——
The evil zombies stopped feasting, letting out multiple roars.
The evil zombie that had chased Su Yu looked at the cavity in fear, retreating rapidly!
To be able to scare even evil zombies. Just what evil lay at the other side of the cavity?
Thinking for a moment, Su Yu clenched his teeth and went into the cavity.
The tunnel was extremely narrow, only allowing for one person to pass through.
Su Yu crawled in the tunnel, his breathing hampered. There was no way for him to extend his limbs, much less make his way back.
Some time later, Su Yu saw a bolt of white light.
Bolts of chilly energy assaulted him.
Just as he was about to lift his hand to wipe the frost on his face away, Su Yu felt a wet feeling on his back, as if something was twitching.
A warm scent of blood assaulted Su Yu’s face.
Turning back to look, Su Yu gasped!
There was a female head on his back!!
The head had black hair ten meters long, dragging on the floor, and was wet. The moisture had soaked Su Yu’s back!
A pale, white face, as if soaked in water over the years, was at Su Yu’s shoulders.
Her mouth was opened slightly, releasing a warm current, spraying it onto Su Yu’s face full of frost.
The current had a metallic stench!
Her mouth was filled with fresh blood!!
Multiple wolf-like sharp teeth, narrow and long, were crammed into her mouth.
Her eyes were filled with hatred and fury, staring at Su Yu without blinking, almost as if she was laughing!
It was a living head of a woman!
Su Yu had lived two lives, but it was the first time he had seen such a scary object. He nearly screamed in shock!
Especially terrifying was her gaze that reflected her faint smile. She resembled a wolf, mockingly staring down at her prey!
His mind was full of shock, his limbs ice cold. His heart was thumping wildly!
But Su Yu was only fearful for a moment, collecting himself in an instant.
Escape!
At such a narrow place, it was hard for him to extend his limbs. If he could not escape in time, he would be eaten alive!
At this moment, the head smiled, revealing a row of horrifying long teeth. It let out a cackle as it bit down!
At this moment, Su Yu finally took action!
Crash ——
Lifting his back, he crashed his back to the top of the tunnel!
Ah ——
An infant like, ghostly wail came from his back.
The female head fell from Su Yu’s back onto the ground, wailing as it rolled.
Seizing the opportunity, Su Yu used all his limbs in unison, hurrying through the tunnel with all his effort.
He had just crawled a few steps, when he felt a tightness at his ankles!
Looking back, the female head had used her ten meter long black hair to wrap around Su Yu’s leg!
The head flew over using the momentum.
Opening her blood filled mouth, she let out a deafening wail, “Kekeke…. I’ll eat you! Eat you!!”
“Ah ——”
The blood-filled mouth was quickly approaching Su Yu.
But in this cramped space, there was no way for Su Yu to turn back!
Just as he was about to be bitten, Su Yu shot out a gray light from his eyes, silently using his soul attack!
Ah —— Ah Ah ——
The head let out a wail of pain. The wails were extremely loud, causing Su Yu’s ears to buzz.
The entire tunnel trembled, as if about to collapse!
Seizing the opportunity, Su Yu freed himself from the bondage of her hair, escaping in a hurry!
But he had not made much progress, when the female head continued in her pursuit!
Her pale, swollen face was filled with the fury of an evil ghost, her mouth letting out a crackling sound from the friction of her teeth.
Her ten meter long hair was like a nest of vines, wrapping around the protrusions of the tunnel, chasing after Su Yu with frightening speed!
“I’ll eat you!!”
Su Yu was incredibly fearful, crawling forward for his life!
Feeling the breath of the head approaching rapidly, cold sweat broke out from Su Yu’s forehead.
Finally!
Crash ——
Su Yu successfully made it out of the tunnel!
But he had just exited the tunnel, when he felt a tightness on his waist. The black hair had wrapped around his waist, the head being pulled out of the tunnel by Su Yu!
Su Yu’s eyes filled with killing intent, turning in the air to shoot out arcs of purple lightning from his fingers!
“Thunder Star Finger!”
Ah ——
Puuuu ——
The pathetic wails stopped suddenly, half of the female head had been blasted away!
But she was not dead!
The wails of pain retreated to a crevice in the tunnel!
Su Yu wiped away cold sweat from his forehead. It was a harrowing journey, being chased in a tunnel by a female ghost!
He had wanted to kill the female head, but it was hard to move his limbs in the tunnel, so he could only postpone that idea.
At this moment, Su Yu was interested in exploring this end of the tunnel.
It was a pitch black, icy world!
The sky was filled with black snow. Black, icy mountains stood tall in the darkness.
A black pile of snow fell onto Su Yu’s palm, immediately turning into black frost.
Ssssss ——
Su Yu took a shallow breath, hurling the black snow away in a hurry.
Using his crystalline pupils, Su Yu gasped!
That was not black snow, instead, it was… bugs!
There were millions of bugs, grouped together to form black snow!
Their bodies were ice cold, thus giving off that cold sensation when they fell on the palm!
They would consume the flesh of any living creature that came near them.
Su Yu only held some of the black snow in his hand for a short period of time, when he felt a dull pain. When he looked, what he saw was a few streaks of blood on his palm!
Was that to say that all the black snow in the sky are bugs? The giant ice mountains in the distance, are they also all bugs?
Su Yu’s scalped turned numb, “What strange bugs!”
Suddenly, Su Yu’s pupils dilated.
There was a human figure sealed in the ice mountains in front of him!
His robes indicated that he was not from this era.
In his robes was a simple, black jade box.
What made Su Yu’s pupils dilate was that the sinister winds in this area all stemmed from within this black jade box!
What is that jade box? What kind of ungodly item hid within it? How could a sliver of cold wind that escaped from a slit could create such an area of extreme yin energy?
Just as Su Yu was about to walk forward to investigate, there was action from within the tunnel that he passed through.
His expression changing slightly, Su Yu hid in a corner.
Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh ——
A commotion came from within the tunnel.
It was Zang Jian, Xue Yao, and Feng Qing!
The Fengqing Guards were completely annihilated, with only one member escaping. This caused the expressions of the three to change, as they headed down to investigate.
With their combined abilities, while it would take them some time to kill the entire horde, it was not difficult for them to evade their capture.
They traced the tunnel Su Yu discovered, and entered the land of black snow.
“Careful! The snow is weird!” Zang Jian’s expression was serious, releasing spirit energy to envelop his body, blocking the black snow from coming to contact with his body.
Xue Yao and Feng Qing followed suit.
Feng Qing surveyed the surroundings, grunting, “Where is Yin Yu? His body was not among the corpses outside!”
Zang Jian raised his brows, nonchalantly saying, “Perhaps he hid somewhere, why do you care? It is none of our business, even if he is dead!”
