Chapter 455: Metal Corpse, Where Did the Ghostly Paintings Come From?
"Those guys died in such a miserable way."
The fat man sighed and showed a sympathetic expression.
"Are you talking about Guiguzi from the Qin Dynasty?" Ye Bai asked.
The fat man stared at Ye Bai with his big eyes like copper bells, and asked doubtfully: "Brother Ye, how do you know Guiguzi?"
"I happened to meet this person when I was traveling around the world." Ye Bai said lightly.
Although Ye Bai was not sure whether Guiguzi had anything to do with this matter, the most important thing now was to find the tombs of these people.
Ye Bai looked at the scribbles on the altar and fell into deep thought.
"I think this must be something that the evil cultists created. I wonder where it leads to..."
Yang Mi stood by, quietly waiting for Ye Bai's reply.
She was very nervous, worried whether this mysterious Ye Bai could save them.
Ye Bai was silent for a long time. He raised his head, looked above the altar, and said slowly and firmly: "Follow me, let's go up to the altar."
"Yeah, okay!" Yang Mi nodded obediently.
Ye Bai held Yang Mi's hand and walked towards the altar, while the fat man followed behind carrying the box.
After walking for a while, Ye Bai arrived at the altar. He stopped, looked ahead, and said solemnly, "This altar must have been modified. It contains a strong evil spirit. If you enter rashly, I'm afraid it will be very dangerous!"
"Brother Ye, what did you find?" the fat man asked anxiously.
Yang Mi nervously grabbed Ye Bai's arm.
Ye Bai said, "I can see that the material of this altar should be made of human bones and animal bones."
"But its surface is covered with another special metal substance, which is why these bodies have been preserved to this day."
"If my guess is correct, there might be something extremely dangerous buried beneath these altars."
"What? There is such a strange thing?" The fat man was shocked.
"These items have been altered, so it's impossible to confirm what they are."
Ye Bai carefully surveyed his surroundings, then suddenly raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Be careful, something's coming!"
Almost at the same time, Ye Bai turned around suddenly, stretched out his right hand like lightning, and grabbed the sharp claws attacking from behind.
The claws had a fishy smell, were sharp and seemed to have barbs, and pierced Ye Bai's arm fiercely.
Ye Bai felt pain and loosened his claws. There was a "swish" sound and his clothes were torn.
Ye Bai looked down at his left shoulder, and saw that blood had already stained half of his clothes.
This sharp claw was very strange. In the moment of contact just now, its claw was like a sword, almost cutting off Ye Bai's skin and flesh.
"Damn, what the hell is this?" the fat man cursed and rushed towards the altar.
Ye Bai stopped the fat man's movements, shook his head and said, "Don't come near!"
The fat man was stunned for a moment and asked, "Brother Ye, what's going on?"
Ye Bai pointed to the source of the claws and said, "Deep within the altar, there should be the remains of some ancient warriors buried, as they have been worshipped year after year."
"This residual evil spirit corroded the bodies of these warriors, transforming them into zombie-like life forms, also known as tomb keepers."
"Brother Ye, since you know they are not simple, why should we take the risk to go in?" asked the fat man with a frown.
Ye Bai smiled bitterly and said, "Because apart from this road, there is no other way to get through!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Mi immediately understood Ye Bai's concerns.
In the entire village, only near the altar are there still breath of living people, and there are not many of them. The rest of the place is filled with strong decay and evil spirits. Once you step in, you will surely die.
Ye Bai continued, "Now we can only force our way in."
After saying that, he jumped off the altar first.
It was pitch black under the altar, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. The empty feeling made people feel uneasy.
"Brother Ye!" the fat man shouted, but Ye Bai's voice disappeared.
Ye Bai didn't ignore Yang Mi, but he knew that Yang Mi was not very courageous and girls were more shy.
"You two, stay up there and protect Yang Mi." The fat man ordered the several strong men behind him.
"But boss, this is too dangerous, isn't it?" Skinny Monkey couldn't help but say.
"That's right, this altar is too weird. Boss, you should think twice." The others also advised.
"Don't worry, Brother Ye is here, there will be no danger. Let's go and help Brother Ye." The fat man urged.
So, everyone followed the fat man's instructions and stayed on the altar.
Ye Bai walked into the altar alone. The closer he got inside, the stronger the evil spirit became, as if a prehistoric beast had awakened, emitting a murderous aura.
"Humph."
Ye Bai snorted coldly, exerted force with his legs, increased his speed sharply, and ran away.
His speed was so fast that he passed through the altar in a few seconds.
"Finally got rid of it..." Ye Bai breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and secretly thanked himself for not rushing in to die.
Ye Bai was just about to take a break when he suddenly felt someone approaching him.
"Who? Get out!"
He roared angrily, and a violent aura burst out from his body, rushing straight into the depths of the altar.
"Hehehe... little kid, you have quite a bad temper..."
The eerie and cold words echoed deep in the altar, causing Ye Bai to shiver.
"What... are you?" Ye Bai stared around vigilantly.
A hunched figure covered with sores emerged from the depths of the altar and gradually walked out.
Every step he took was accompanied by a disgusting smell, which made people cover their noses.
At this moment, Ye Bai finally saw the hunched figure clearly.
The man's body was covered with pus-filled sores, and he looked hideous. He was wet all over, as if he had just been fished out of the water, and he exuded a foul odor.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" Ye Bai asked vigilantly.
The figure ignored Ye Bai and walked straight towards Yang Mi. He licked his lips greedily, laughed lewdly, and said, "Smells so good... so delicious..."
Ye Bai stood in front of Yang Mi and shouted coldly: "Get out of here, or you will die!"
After he finished speaking, a fierce aura emanated from his whole body, like a sword drawn from its sheath.
"Hehehe..." The man did not retreat at all. Instead, he became even more excited. He stretched out his hands covered with pus and pounced towards Yang Mi.
Seeing this, Ye Bai's face turned pale and his eyes flashed with cold murderous intent.
Rumble!
Ye Bai rose from the ground, turned into a streak of light, and arrived in front of the corpse puppet in an instant.
boom--
He raised his fist and smashed the corpse puppet, smashing it to pieces.
But the corpse puppet did not disappear and was still attacking Ye Bai.
Ye Bai attacked again, slapping the corpse puppet on the head and killing it.
After the corpse puppet was smashed, it did not turn into dust. Instead, a yellowed copper coin appeared in Ye Bai's hand.
