Chapter 157 An Upgraded Corpse Puppet Comparable to the Limit
"What kind of creature is this?" Zhang Lexuan asked curiously, looking at the half-meter-tall giant spider.
"Shadow Cave Spider, a low-level necromancy summon, is best at tracking beings with dark attributes, which is perfect for this purpose."
After saying that, Huo Yuhao had a thought and immediately connected his mental energy with the Shadow Cave Spider.
The Shadow Cave Spider is an energy-based creature, similar to a ghost or phantom. It doesn't possess strong offensive capabilities, but excels at stealth and tracking. It can sense places with abundant, chilling energy, as long as they aren't completely enclosed, even from a distance of 100 kilometers.
Under Huo Yuhao's command, the Shadow Cave Spider moved its legs slightly and quickly disappeared into the reflection of the forest on the ground, speeding away in a certain direction.
Huo Yuhao nodded to Zhang Lexuan, and the two put on their masks and immediately followed.
They didn't have much time and had to get back before dawn, but it was already past midnight.
If it were just Huo Yuhao, even with his fastest speed, he would still be relatively rushed. Now, with Zhang Lexuan carrying him and both of them wearing flight soul tools, guided by mental detection and the Shadow Cave Spider, they completely ignored the constraints of the rugged mountain terrain and moved forward at high speed as if they were on flat ground.
As the third watch of the night approached, the shadow spider's shadow suddenly slowed down.
Zhang Lexuan put Huo Yuhao down, and the two put away their flying soul tools. While recovering their soul power and physical strength, they continued to follow. After some time, the Shadow Cave Spider led the two to a very special forest.
The shadow spider also stopped moving.
Huo Yuhao's gaze swept across the area, and his mental detection instantly revealed the condition of all the trees. These were Wenlan Trees, and each trunk had a hole hollowed out in its center!
Zhang Lexuan, through Huo Yuhao's mental sharing, learned of the same situation at the same moment. The two looked at each other, nodded, and continued to explore deeper.
Recalling the Shadow Spider, the two quickly found a hillside using their mental detection. The surrounding area was covered with clear, chaotic footprints, and the nearby bushes were stained with obvious dark red blood.
Zhang Lexuan and Huo Yuhao did not hide; they simply swaggered forward, using the simulated cover as cover.
Just outside the cave was a flat patch of ground with several dilapidated tents pitched on it. About twenty bandits were gathered around a campfire, their laughter and shouts filling the air. What was even stranger was that in this remote, desolate place deep in the mountains, they actually had alcohol to drink!
Following the mental probe into the cave, one could see over a dozen human skins hanging on the walls, and even the corpse of an infant, impaled and suspended from a stalagmite...
Zhang Lexuan's face was pale, her fists were clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned white, and as anger surged up, her pale face turned red like fire again.
"Yuhao, unleash your necromancy! These beasts must not be spared!"
Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "I understand, Sister Lexuan. Leave everything to me."
Zhang Lexuan took a deep breath, slowly calming her anger, before nodding.
Seeing that Zhang Lexuan had agreed to his suggestion, Huo Yuhao raised his right hand and gently beckoned, and the silver-gray crystal-like scythe appeared in his palm. He lightly swung the Moonlit Death Scythe, slashing down in the air.
The next instant, a portal of light opened, and a bear's paw emerged!
The simulated concealment had been partially removed, and Huo Yuhao and Zhang Lexuan appeared openly before the group of bandits.
The laughter that had been playing around suddenly stopped. More than twenty bandits all looked at them, their eyes flashing with malice and their faces full of lewd smiles.
The leader, a burly man with dark skin, laughed and cursed, "What are you? Just two little wenches? Get ready to have some fun with me!"
"Second brother, we have to give this to the eldest brother first! Otherwise, if the eldest brother gets angry, we're all finished!"
The burly man slapped the tall, thin thug who had reminded him, and the thug, still shaken, chuckled sheepishly, "You're right! You're right!"
Two little vixens?
Hearing this, Zhang Lexuan was both angry and amused. Just as she was about to make a move, Huo Yuhao, who was even angrier, waved his hand and roared, "Attack! I want that Soul King inside alive, leave no one else alive!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the enormous corpse that had completely emerged from the portal finally revealed its full form from the simulated concealment!
This is a giant humanoid stitched puppet about ten meters tall, with five heads: a tiger head, a wolf head, and three dragon heads. Its body is covered in gray-black scales, with a pair of huge bone wings on its back, dark gold bear paws on its hands, and crimson horse hooves on its feet. It exudes an extremely dense bloody and malevolent aura and looks extremely terrifying!
An incomparably powerful aura exploded from the corpse puppet, and the bandits were all terrified, trembling in fear.
"What, what, what, what kind of monster is this?!" Upon seeing the true appearance of the corpse puppet, the bandits were terrified and fell to the ground, displaying an ugly state of incontinence.
"Mom, Mom, help!"
However desperate their cries and pleas were, it was already too late. From the moment Huo Yuhao gave the order, their lives were over!
In the blink of an eye, the corpse puppet vanished without a trace, leaving behind only a pile of bloody, mangled flesh torn apart by bear paws.
Zhang Lexuan, panting heavily, began to slowly calm her inner shock. Between breaths, she asked softly, "What...what was that thing? Seeing it gave me a feeling of facing Elder Mu..."
Huo Yuhao shrugged and calmly replied, "Gu Yuena told me that this thing came from a 100,000-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. That evil beast most likely activated the evil god inheritance within its bloodline, which is why this corpse puppet exists."
Zhang Lexuan exclaimed in surprise, "Dark Demon Evil God Tiger? Isn't that the legendary Evil Soul Beast? Does such a creature actually exist? How did it cultivate for a hundred thousand years?"
"Gu Yuena said that the evil beast devoured no less than three auspicious beasts, as well as another ten-thousand-year-old dark demonic evil tiger of the same kind."
By using one's own destiny to circumvent the heavenly secrets and by replenishing one's bloodline with the blood of one's own kind, one can have this great opportunity to break through the absolute limit of 100,000 years.
"But it didn't have the ability to break through the second 100,000-year limit, so it set its sights on Qiu'er, which is why Gu Yuena ran into her. In the end, it escaped at the cost of this corpse puppet."
"Qiu'er? How is she? The Silver Dragon King actually failed to defeat that 100,000-year-old evil beast?"
"Qiu'er is fine. As for how that evil beast escaped... the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger used this corpse puppet as a lure, borrowing the power of destiny to deceive Gu Yuena's senses..."
"With such an evil beast roaming the mortal realm, disaster is surely to follow..."
