Chapter 71 The corpse that was sucked dry (please order)

belch!

Xue Wuxin made a sound inside his body, and burped as if he was full.

Blood appeared on the pale face.

Spider-like blood threads were withdrawn from each corpse, and a gloomy energy filled his body. His face, which was originally bloody, became pale and colorless again.

"The essence and blood of the people in the borderlands are too mixed and need to be refined and purified. However, after absorbing the essence and blood of so many people, the injuries can be fully recovered."

Xue Wuxin muttered to himself.

He raised his head and looked beyond the endless mountains, his eyes showing excitement.

The deserted land must be the place where one can rise.

"Find a place to refine the blood essence and recover the injuries. Only when you have recovered your strength can you perform the Great Blood Sacrifice to purify the blood essence and use it for cultivation.

"Haha, just wait for my bloodless revenge!"

Xue Wuxin was in a good mood, soared into the sky and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.

Only more than a hundred shriveled corpses were left on the hillside, with a vague look of horror on their shriveled faces.

The craze of searching for masters swept across the Qi State. Of course, the Minister of War and his group were not the only ones who came to Wuwu Mountain to search for masters.

The Endless Mountains are full of dangers, and the seekers come in groups, leading guards or recruiting experts to enter the Endless Mountains together.

On this day, a team looking for the master came to the foot of the hillside.

"Go up and take a rest. This expert doesn't even know where he is hiding in seclusion."

"Why is Xu Yan so lucky? He can find an expert."

"Don't be discouraged. Is it easy to find an expert? Xu Yan has been looking for him for many years, and he was deceived."

Under the protection of the guards, a group of dandies began to climb the hillside.

"ah!"

Suddenly, a scream came.

"What are you doing? You scared me!"

"What happened? You are a top-notch master in the world, but you are so timid? Ah..."

The screams sounded one after another.

Everyone looked at the scene on the hillside and felt cold all over and their scalps were numb.

There were more than a hundred corpses lying on the hillside, filled with a faint air of gloom. Each corpse was shriveled, as if the blood had been sucked out.

The look of fear before death still remained on the withered face.

"This is...this is..."

Someone identified the body.

"The eldest son of the Minister of War!"

"The second son of the Minister of Rites!"

"besides……"

Everyone was filled with fear and looked around subconsciously, as if there were evil spirits that could choose to bite people at any time.

"How did you die?"

Some brave experts came forward to look at the corpse. The more they looked at it, the more frightened they became, and the more they looked at it, the more terrified they became.

"The corpse shriveled up and turned directly into a mummy..."

So weird!

How long has it been since the Master of the Ministry of War and others entered the Endless Mountains?

Even if he dies, he cannot become a mummy.

Moreover, the appearance of everyone's death was extremely terrifying, as if they had seen something terrifying before they died.

"This is the King of One Sword, a famous master in the capital. He is also dead!"

Some people recognized the identity of the corpse one after another, including well-known experts.

There were more than a hundred people, many masters, and well-equipped with crossbows and other equipment, but they all died on the hillside.

There were no signs of a fight at the scene.

It's like everyone died at the same time!

The corpse turned directly into a mummy!

Such a strange scene shocked everyone and they no longer wanted to continue looking for the master.

"Go quickly, go back quickly!"

"The Endless Mountains are too dangerous!"

A group of people did not dare to stay and went down the mountain one after another.

"Take the body of the Master of the Ministry of War, take several of their bodies, and bring them back to the capital."

"Yes, bring their bodies back to the capital. Their deaths are too strange. We must investigate. Isn't Xu Yan a warrior? Maybe he can see the clues."

Someone suggested.

The others thought it was reasonable and could get a reward for taking the body back.

As for whether they would be considered responsible for the murder, it was impossible. The corpses died in a strange manner. Moreover, with their strength, they simply could not kill the team of Lord Minister of the Ministry of War.

…

In the capital, Xu Yan broke through to the Qi and Blood Realm, and clearly understood the Innate Realm skills, and he was in a good mood.

Emperor Qi sent someone to congratulate him and wanted to hold a banquet to congratulate him on his great progress in martial arts, but Xu Yan refused.

After staying in the capital for a few days, Xu Yan set off back to Donghe County.

Not long after Xu Yan left the capital, news spread among the officials that the Minister of War, the Master, and others all died mysteriously in the Endless Mountains.

The body was brought back.

Emperor Qi even came to check it out in person.

The shriveled corpse and the remaining fear on his face were very strange.

"Master Guo, please let your grandson come back and take a look."

"Yes, Mr. Guo, this is so weird!"

All the ministers panicked.

My sons are all out looking for masters.

Moreover, most of them go to the endless mountains.

The Minister of War and the Minister of Rites were all depressed and suffered a great blow.

Guo Rongshan also realized that this matter was too strange. Is there any monster in the endless mountain?

He immediately uploaded the message to Xu Yan.

Directly used the newly established Flying Eagle Message.

After he was promoted to the King of Qi, Grand Pavilion Elder, and Grand Master of the Crown Prince, he dispatched several trained flying eagles from Qi State's Flying Eagle Division to carry messages between Donghe County and the capital.

Ensure smooth and fast communication between Donghe County and Prince Qi’s Mansion.

Xu Yan rushed back to Donghe County in a hurry. As soon as he got home to have dinner with his parents and give them some guidance on their cultivation, he received a letter from his grandfather.

A shriveled corpse?

Weird death?

I was immediately curious.

"I once read a legend in an ancient story book. There is a monster called a zombie that likes to devour human blood. Could it be that they encountered a zombie?"

Xu Yan suddenly became interested when he thought about it.

"It is rumored that the corpse beast is violent, likes to eat human blood, and has infinite strength. Now that I have reached the Qi and Blood Realm, my strength is not what it used to be. I am looking for someone to practice my skills with.

"If it's really a zombie, you can give it a try."

Xu Yan showed excitement and rushed to the capital immediately.

He had only seen the description of the corpse beast in an ancient book, but it had not been circulated among the people. There were probably not many people who knew about this legendary monster.

Beijing.

Xu Yan, who left not long ago, is back.

"Where's the body? Where is it?"

He immediately came to the morgue.

I saw those shriveled corpses.

Emperor Qi and other ministers all came.

Xu Yan looked at the corpse and frowned. Judging from the corpse, it seemed that the blood had been sucked to death and turned into a mummy.

There was still a faint yin energy left in the corpse.

But unlike the description of being killed by a zombie in the storybook, there was no bite wound.

According to the storybook, the wound was on the neck.

Moreover, the person injured by the corpse beast will not directly turn into a shriveled corpse, but will turn into a blue-black color containing corpse poison.

However, these corpses are not black and blue, nor do they contain corpse poison.

Completely turned into a mummy.

It's like it's been exposed to the sun and it hasn't rotted away for so long.

"How about it, do you see the problem?"

Emperor Qi asked.

Xu Yan continued to look at the corpse, shook his head and said: "I originally thought that he was killed by the legendary zombie, but just looking at the corpse, it doesn't look like it was done by the corpse."

"What is a zombie?"

Emperor Qi and his ministers looked at each other in shock. They had never heard of such a monster as the corpse beast.

"A kind of monster that likes to eat human blood and is extremely cruel."

Xu Yan briefly explained.

Emperor Qi and his ministers felt their scalps numb when they heard this. Is there such a terrifying monster in this world?

"Mr. Xu, how did you know about the corpse?"

Some ministers couldn't help but asked curiously.

He believed that he was knowledgeable and well-read, and he knew everything about astronomy, geography, and historical relics. He had never heard of monsters like corpses.

I can't help but wonder if Xu Yan made it up.

"I saw it in a storybook. It's a very old storybook. I heard it's the only one."

Xu Yan replied.

Did you see it in the storybook?

The minister was stunned and said subconsciously: "It's just a matter of words..."

The next words suddenly got stuck in my throat.

He suddenly thought about the rumor that Xu Yan believed the legend in the story and went around looking for masters. In order to practice real martial arts, he was ridiculed behind his back for being stupid.

As a result, he really succeeded in practicing extremely powerful martial arts!

In this way, the legend is not unbelievable!

After thinking about it like this, he couldn't say anything else.

Xu Yan continued to look at the corpse, took off all the clothes on the corpse, and looked over it.

The Minister of Military Affairs shed tears when he saw it. He trembled his lips and was about to speak. Emperor Qi glared at him with a cold and stern look. In the end, the Minister of Military Affairs could only shut up.

Xu Yan was allowed to writhe the corpse.

"It's strange. If it wasn't done by a zombie, then what could it be?"

Xu Yan was confused. He recalled the story books he had read, but there was no similar description.

Sudden!

He focused his eyes and saw a small hole on the shriveled body, where the heart was.

It was as if something had pierced the heart.

"This is……"

Xu Yan frowned and stroked the wound with his hand. The wound was very small, as if it had been pierced by a small awl.

"mosquito?"

The blood was sucked dry and turned into a mummy, while a small wound appeared on the heart.

Uncontrollably, Xu Yan had an image in his mind of a giant mosquito knocking down the Minister of War, piercing his heart with its mouthpart, and sucking out the blood.

"Is it some kind of blood-sucking monster like a mosquito?"

Xu Yan couldn't help but think of the fire-maned wolf, which was no longer a beast. How could ordinary beasts have such powerful strength.

Could it be that the murderer who killed the Minister of War and others was also an existence like the fire-maned wolf that had transcended the category of beast?

After pondering for a while, he said, "I don't know who the murderer is. Maybe it's some kind of monster? I'll go back and ask Master. Maybe Master knows."

The master is a hidden expert, so he should know what kind of monster this is.

Is there such a monster hiding in the endless mountains?

Xu Yan suddenly became interested in the Endless Mountains and these unknown monsters. He decided to go back and ask his master if he could go to the Endless Mountains to hunt monsters with his current strength.

"I'll go back and ask Master."

Xu Yan left happily, preparing to rush back to Donghe County to ask his master what kind of monster it was that sucked people dry, what its strength was, and whether he could handle it!
