Chapter 478: Chosen Worker?

Towards evening, Li Tingyi arrived as promised.

Now, this Jindan cultivator who had "promoted" Chen Mo, subconsciously became embarrassed when he saw the head of Motai Mountain again.

This was a change from the heart, so much so that he himself did not realize the problem.

In a few years, from a Qi Refining Realm to such a force and strength, he even had the ability to control Beiyue City!

And how could Li Tingyi not complete the task he assigned?

As for what the other party wanted these abandoned spirit stones for?

He would not ask.

A total of 413 pieces.

The spiritual energy in these abandoned spirit stones has been consumed, leaving only pieces of transparent sixteen-sided crystals.

Originally, all the spirit stones would be thrown into the storage space after they were consumed, and they would not be taken out again for ten years, a hundred years, or even until death.

But due to the existence of the genius Ouyang Dongqing, these "useless" stones have once again been rejuvenated.

The thunder force that revived the mummy was extremely powerful, but how much was needed to fill a piece of top-grade spirit stone? Even the creator of the Thunderbolt Talisman was probably not sure.

Chen Mo called Xiao Kang and Dou, and the two beasts headed straight for the corpse tide.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the magpies flew south.

The journey, which was once harassed by monsters from time to time, became much quieter because of Dou's existence.

Originally, Xiao Kang didn't want to bring his enemy with him, but in the end he had to do something against his will under the pressure of Chen Mo.

In a flash, they arrived again.

Chen Mo first took out a Thunderbolt Talisman and a discarded top-grade spirit stone, held them in his hands, and then led them into the maze.

As soon as they stepped in, the unpleasant smell of corpses hit them in the face.

He was about to raise his hand to kill the mummy that rushed over, but suddenly he heard a few shouts: "Which Taoist friend? Which Taoist friend! Please spare us and let us out?!"

"Help, help!"

In an instant, several breaths rushed towards him.

"Roar!"

At this moment, Dou, who was protecting his master, felt a hint of threat and burst into a roar that pierced the heaven and earth.

The next moment, Li Ming, Qian Zhong and others who rushed over regardless of life and death suddenly stopped in place. The fear between life and death oppressed them so much that they dared not take another step!

And as they stopped, the corpse tide that had been standing still due to the corpse driving became turbulent again.

They began to rush left and right in the maze, but they could only turn around in place.

Under the traction of Chen Mo's aura, the maze was separated into pieces, and suddenly a long corridor appeared in front of the fourteen living monks.

They were surprised and inexplicable, but they cried with joy.

Just as they took a step forward and prepared to continue forward along the corridor, a questioning voice rang in their ears.

"Who are you? From Beiling City?"

Chen Mo had a vague guess, but could not confirm it.

"I... We are disciples of the Beiling City Corpse Driving Sect. We were..."

Li Ming wanted to distance himself from Beiling City, but he didn't know who the visitor was, whether it was from the Zhou family or Beiyue City, so he swallowed his words.

However, he thought so, but others didn't think so.

Especially when the passage of life was opened for them, they couldn't wait to rush out and survive!

"Senior, we were forced by the Beiling Zhou family! We don't want to drive the corpse tide here! Really, really, please let us go!"

They didn't want to die, let alone die among a group of mummies.

Qian Zhong was the same.

He wanted to tell everything he knew from the bottom of his heart, even betraying the Corpse Driving Sect.

In the face of life and death, all etiquette and morality cannot bind them!

"The Corpse Driving Sect? The Zhou Family?" Chen Mo couldn't help but frown.

But soon, the strangeness of the scene during the day was revealed in the appearance and response of these people.

"Did you drive all these mummies all the way from Beiling City?"

"Yes, yes, we have no choice."

"Please let us out."

For a while, there were many begging voices, fearing that the people who appeared in the darkness would disappear and let them be trapped in the maze again...

Chen Mo thought for a moment, then said: "How many people are there in total?"

"Fourteen!"

"Fourteen!"

"Fifteen!"

"Ten..."

"Enough!" Chen Mo roared, and then the disciples of the Corpse Driving Sect were silent, "Who among you has the highest realm?"

"I am Qian Zhong, also the third elder of the Corpse Driving Sect, and now I have built the ninth level of foundation."

"The elder has only built the ninth level of foundation?" Chen Mo subconsciously asked a question, which almost broke the defense of this immortal sect disciple.

But what can we do?

"Yes."

"You go forward, the others stay where you are."

After a while, a monk in ragged clothes and with white powder on his face came forward. However, Chen Mo could see his appearance in the maze, but he could not see Chen Mo's appearance!

"Are you Qian Zhong?"

"I am!"

"Please introduce the Corpse Driving Sect."

Qian Zhong was stunned, and then said: "The Corpse Driving Sect is a small immortal sect outside Beiling City. It once had a golden elixir realm, but because of its weakening power, it has not produced a golden elixir for hundreds of years, so it was removed from the Pingduzhou General's Mansion..."

The other party told a story, and Chen Mo also had a general understanding.

In other words, this so-called "Corpse Driving Sect" is not an immortal sect, and Yanyun Mountain two months ago naturally did not receive an invitation.

However, this immortal sect is also special, and can actually control the tide of corpses.

"Can you control mummies?"

"Yes."

"Like puppets?"

"Yes!"

Chen Mo's eyes suddenly lit up.

These guys who can neither die nor consume are perfect for coolies!

Maybe they can't do delicate work like farming, but what about mining?

Isn't this free labor without eating or drinking?

Puppets still need spirit stones to drive, but these mummies don't! Are there any more suitable miners than them?

Of course!

The premise is that someone can control them.

"Does the corpse-driving sect have special spells?" Chen Mo asked again.

Even though Qian Zhong had made up his mind to go all out, he still hesitated for a moment at this moment. After all, this is related to the foundation and heritage of the immortal sect.

"Yes, there is a set of exercises and matching spells that are circulated throughout the year."

"Can you do it?"

Qian Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"

He knew that if he said he couldn't do it or showed any embarrassment, the other party would kill him and replace him with someone else.

In this situation, he couldn't hesitate at all!

"Is it very restrictive?" Chen Mo asked again.

And this question surprised Qian Zhong.

For a moment, he actually doubted whether the other party knew "Corpse Driving Technique"!

"Yes, practicing this exercise will cause skin ulceration and body damage due to long-term exposure to corpse gas, and the body odor will become similar to the stench of corpses, and these injuries are almost irreversible."
