Chapter 420 The mysterious cave
Seeing the straw man walking lightly ahead to lead the way, everyone followed behind.
The mountain peaks don't look far, but the journey over them involves many curves.
By the time we reached the top of the hill, the sun was already rising and it was dawn.
As the morning sun rose, I could see a crack in the mountainside in the distance.
Golden light swirled around the cave.
In front of the cave, a patch of trees that had not yet been completely burned was flickering with firelight.
"This is it!"
Hua Ruyi was very excited.
He took a few quick steps, but Cao Erdan grabbed him: "Don't rush, we've already seen the entrance, so there's no need to worry about disappearing!"
He possessed divine insight, enabling him to discern whether the scene before him was an empty void or a real landscape.
Having gained experience from entering the Shennong Secret Realm, he didn't want anything to happen to the people around him.
It now appears that the entrance to this cave is not a crack in the void like the Shennong Secret Realm.
It was actually the entrance to a cave.
The trees in front of it probably completely obscure it.
At a specific moment, the cave entrance was split open by a thunderbolt.
This means that this is inevitable, a matter of destiny.
Perhaps this is all God's arrangement.
Then the exposed cave will no longer be sealed off.
However, whether this is truly the so-called Tomb of the Divine Dragon remains to be investigated.
The dark, gaping entrance looked mysterious and eerie, making Cao Erdan feel as if it were a gaping maw that was devouring people.
Seeing that the cave entrance was still surrounded by flames, they were in no hurry to rush in.
Cao Erdan told Huang Benchu to have the straw man go in first.
Using straw figures and mannequins is one of Huang Benchu's specialties.
Quickly recite the incantation and control the straw man to walk inside.
Just as we reached the cave entrance, a sudden whirlwind arose.
The straw figure was torn to shreds with a "whoosh," and straw fragments flew everywhere.
Huang Benchu shouted, "Oh no, the malevolent energy is too strong!"
Cao Erdan told everyone to stop and went to check it out himself.
But inside the cave entrance was a flat area, the ground covered with black soil, which looked rather out of place compared to the yellow soil in the mountains.
Someone is causing trouble here!
An idea flashed through Cao Erdan's mind.
I bent down for a closer look and saw that there was white lime buried under the soil. I stirred it with my foot and found that there were indeed glass shards buried inside.
Looking at the atmosphere around him, he couldn't help but wonder:
"Could this really be an ancient tomb?"
Hua Ruyi came over and asked, "How do you know?"
Cao Erdan replied, "The lime and black soil are used to extinguish life force, while the glass shards are used to absorb the essence of the sun and moon and transform it into vital energy to nourish the corpse! If I'm not mistaken, the cave entrance originally had a place for light to pass through and absorb the light of the sun and moon."
Hua Ruyi asked doubtfully, "The legend of the Divine Dragon Tomb has existed in the Liangshan Mountains for hundreds of years. It is said that an ancient divine dragon was buried in a secret realm. Later, it was worshipped by many sorcerers. Even if there is an array to nurture the corpse, it is still possible."
Cao Erdan nodded: "Perhaps someone wants to monopolize this place, so they raised zombies to guard it."
Looking at the chilly cave entrance, Huang Benchu asked, "So, are we still going in or not?"
Cao Erdan couldn't help but laugh: "We've already reached the cave entrance, how can we back down? If we don't enter the tiger's den, how can we catch the tiger cubs!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a "whoosh, whoosh" sound came from deep within the cave.
The sound struck the mountainside, echoing and sounding even more terrifying.
They looked at each other and involuntarily took a step back.
Even the warriors of Shengshui Village were terrified.
Fighting among the living is common, but no one has ever seen a dead person resurrected as a zombie.
As the saying goes, a dead man is like a fierce tiger, while a dead tiger is like a sheep.
Everyone's eyes widened as they stared into the depths of the cave.
Huang Benchu, however, stood out from the crowd, patting his chest confidently:
"It's alright. I've been afraid of encountering evil spirits for a long time. I've drawn talismans to ward off evil, suppress ghosts, and suppress corpses in my pocket. You guys step back and watch me!"
All the warriors had previously overlooked this thin old man, but now that they saw him leading the charge in the face of danger, they all looked at him with new respect.
Everyone knows that he was originally a reclusive master.
At that moment, a flash of light appeared, and a pair of wild beast-like eyes appeared in the cave.
"Damn, the zombie has opened its eyes, this is going to be tough!"
Huang Benchu quickly rummaged through his canvas bag.
He took out a large pile of talismans, held a peach wood sword in one hand and an exorcising talisman in the other, leaped onto a nearby boulder, and observed and waited from above.
The "thump-thump" sound was getting closer.
A dark shadow flashed,
A tall man jumped out of the darkness.
He was covered in dirt and grime, his hair was disheveled, and only his eyes shone with a sharp light.
Two large, sharp teeth protrude from the lips.
They really are zombies!
There was another one behind him, hopping in the same steps as him.
Huang Benchu shouted and jumped over at top speed.
But in less than a second, the first zombie grabbed him and threw him to the ground, making him scream "Oh my god!"
Huang Benchu was also getting anxious. He had followed Cao Erdan for so long, and he had to win the first battle!
He jumped up and went up again. Just as the zombie grabbed him, "splat!" a talisman was stuck to his forehead.
The zombie stopped moving, but its eyes were moving.
A second zombie jumps over.
It turned out to be a woman dressed in ancient bridal attire.
Huang Benchu then stuck another one on her forehead.
At this moment, Cao Erdan followed behind Huang Benchu, fearing that something might happen to him and ready to rescue him at any time.
Upon seeing the images of these two zombies, a terrifying thought flashed through my mind.
Cao Erdan was taken aback and shouted, "Oh no, Lao Huang, retreat quickly!"
Seeing that neither of the two zombies had moved, Huang Benchu felt smug and slapped the female zombie behind him across the face.
He cursed, "You monstrous thing, it looks so terrifying, it's made my pockets sweat!"
The zombie suddenly reached out and tore the talisman off its forehead, then threw it on the ground.
It bared out a pair of fangs and let out a terrifying roar.
When Huang Benchu saw that his talisman had no effect, he was so frightened that he ran away immediately.
But he was stopped by another male zombie, who had already torn off the talisman from his forehead.
Huang Benchu was so frightened that he shouted loudly:
"Damn it, do you think my corpse-suppressing talisman is just toilet paper?! Why isn't it working?"
Cao Erdan leaped up at that moment.
He stepped onto the male zombie's shoulders, bent down, and grabbed Huang Benchu's shoulders.
With a strong pull, Huang Benchu was lifted up.
Just as Cao Erdan pulled Huang Benchu out from between the two zombies, the female zombie grabbed Huang Benchu's trouser leg.
Huang Benchu's body rose up, and his pants fell down with a snap.
The female zombie opened her mouth and bit his buttocks.
In his haste, Huang Benchu tensed up and, with a loud "whoosh," let out a fart.
The female zombie was startled by the blast.
He then took a step back.
Zombies have a sense of smell, and they primarily rely on their sense of smell to find the yang energy of living people.
Suddenly, a foul stench hit the female zombie, leaving her completely bewildered.
Cao Erdan used both hands to throw Huang Benchu toward Hua Ruyi.
Despite being a woman, Hua Ruyi possesses the highest cultivation level and the fastest reaction speed among these people.
Only she could catch a grown man flying through the air without injuring Huang Benchu.
Hua Ruyi stretched out her hands and supported Huang Benchu's waist.
Lift him high above your head and catch him steadily.
The warriors behind her cheered in unison, admiring her strength.
But as soon as Huang Benchu was out of danger and relaxed, he let out another loud fart.
Startled, Hua Ruyi let go and threw Huang Benchu to the ground again.
Huang Benchu fell and cried out loudly.
Hua Ruyi covered her nose with her hand and said:
"How can you not distinguish between friend and foe! You shoot at everyone?"
Cao Erdan flipped over and jumped off the male corpse's shoulder, dodging its two sharp claws, and took a few steps back.
Take a closer look at these two unusual zombies.
