Chapter 386 Resurrection from the dead?
Did Yang Lianzhenjia's body move?
Upon hearing this, Cheng Feng perked up. He was furious and had been worried about not having any fire-fighting tools.
In the blink of an eye, Cheng Feng arrived at the corpse he had thrown into the corner.
Cheng Feng then discovered that the corpse wrapped in the ornate monk's robe was undergoing a strange transformation.
Yang Lianzhenjia was a plump, fat monk in life, but after his death, his body became shriveled and his dark brown skin was full of wrinkles.
At this moment, these wrinkles are gradually being filled in, just like a balloon being blown up.
The commotion Huo Ling had witnessed earlier was due to the swelling of the corpse causing the monk's robe to bulge.
"Old Cheng, is it going to come back to life?"
Chen Wenjin spoke with some surprise and uncertainty.
This was the first time Cheng Feng had ever seen anything like this; he'd seen plenty of zombie-turned-zongzi (a type of Chinese rice dumpling).
But they mostly grow hair, like white-haired zongzi and black-haired zongzi.
There are also more unique creatures such as Blood Corpse, Drought Demon, and Unmelted Bone.
But even these zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) cannot make my shriveled flesh and blood plump up again.
In a short period of time, Yang Lianzhenjia's skin has begun to show signs of returning to a normal skin tone.
The four women, witnessing this bizarre scene for the first time, felt a chill run down their spines. This wicked monk truly lived up to his reputation as a ruthless individual who used the emperor's skull as a wine cup.
Even after being dead for so many years, he can still cause such a big commotion.
"Master, quickly set it on fire and burn it! Let it keep changing like this, or it might really come back to life!"
Cheng Feng looked up and smiled.
"His resurrection might not be a bad thing; this method of bringing the dead back to life is worth studying."
The four women felt somewhat helpless after hearing this, but what they didn't know was that Cheng Feng simply didn't believe Yang Lianzhenjia could break through the barrier of life and death.
The Queen Mother of the West was no ordinary person; she had not even achieved immortality, let alone experienced the great terror between life and death.
Yang Lianzhenjia and Cheng Feng did not believe that he was more powerful than the Queen Mother of the West.
"Boss, someone is approaching, it seems to be Wu Sansheng and his group."
At this moment, the black bear that Cheng Feng had kicked up above poked his head out and said to Cheng Feng and the others below.
On the other side, Wu Sansheng and the others all lost consciousness after climbing into the tomb.
They vaguely sensed themselves walking in darkness, and in the boundless darkness, they forgot their purpose.
The jumbled thoughts in their minds began to fade, just as they were about to forget who they even were.
A glimmer of light in the distance startled everyone, and memories flooded back like water released from a dam.
The intense psychological fluctuations brought them all back to their senses, and then they saw the two signal flares that Cheng Feng and the others had fired into the air.
After Wu Sansheng and Xie Lianhuan regained consciousness, they began to gather their forces.
In the end, they discovered that only thirty-six people had actually arrived, including eight from their two families.
Jude Kao's group of nine included himself, A Ning, and seven mercenaries from the Wang family.
Among the remaining people is the trio of Wu Xie, Jie Yuchen, and Huo Xiuxiu.
There are also five members of the Zhang family overseas, including Zhang Haike, while the Huo and Chen families each have three members remaining.
The remaining five are the elite who survived the test of time among the independent players.
The advantage of the major powers was fully demonstrated at this moment. The scattered people were either dead or missing, but the core members of the Nine Gates and the Wang and Zhang families were basically unharmed.
"It's Boss Cheng and his men."
Because of the flares, visibility here wasn't too poor, so people quickly spotted Cheng Feng and the others gathered below the cliff.
Wu Sansheng, Qiu Dekao, and the others looked towards the cliff, and sure enough, the Unloading Ridge disciples brought by Cheng Feng were gathered there.
However, it seems to be on alert.
Just as he was about to lead the team to meet up with Cheng Feng and the others, Wu Sansheng suddenly felt an indescribable longing.
He raised his gaze slightly and looked at the huge black spot on the cliff face.
It seemed to be drawing him there; the longing in his heart was like that of a person dying of thirst in the desert seeing an oasis in the distance.
It felt like I wanted to crawl there if I could.
"Three provinces, three provinces?"
Xie Lianhuan noticed his old friend's unusual behavior and quickly called out twice in a deep voice. When Wu Sansheng did not respond, he quickly shook Wu Sansheng's body a few times.
Wu Sansheng broke out in a cold sweat the moment he came to his senses.
"Everyone, stop staring at that black spot up there. That thing is too eerie."
Wu Sansheng's reminder was timely, and some people who were just beginning to realize the situation quickly looked away.
"Everyone, hurry up and let's meet up with Boss Cheng and the others first."
Qiu Dekao hurriedly started walking, leading the Wang family members who were responsible for protecting him towards where Cheng Feng was.
The strangeness of this place was beyond his imagination, and only by staying by Cheng Feng's side could he feel a little at ease.
Wu Sansheng and the others quickly caught up with the group. Now was not the time to show off; getting separated from the group here would be fatal.
At this moment, in the circular tomb chamber below the platform, the corpses in front of Cheng Feng and the others had been restored to lifelike condition.
The fat monk lay on the ground with his eyes closed, his face and hands showing a rosy complexion.
If Cheng Feng and the others hadn't witnessed that miraculous resurrection, they would have thought it was a living person lying there asleep.
"I thought he would be one of those sinister-looking, hooked-nosed old men."
Unexpectedly, it was a kind-looking, plump monk.
Huo Ling stood behind Cheng Feng, looking at Yang Lianzhenjia, who had transformed from a dried corpse into someone who looked like a living person, and spoke.
"You can't judge a book by its cover. The story of Painted Skin in Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio illustrates this point: a normal appearance may conceal a beast."
Cheng Feng glanced at the unsightly murals.
At this moment, Zhang Qiling had already drawn the Black Gold Ancient Blade, ready to deal with any possible changes.
This was the first time he had seen the condition of this corpse, which meant that Cheng Feng's words implied that he wasn't in a hurry to take action.
Otherwise, Zhang Qiling would have killed the corpse the moment something happened.
"My lord, is his chest rising and falling?"
Huo Ling stared in disbelief at Yang Lianzhenjia's collar.
Cheng Feng was even more excited. He wasn't afraid of being proven wrong. If Yang Lianzhenjia could really be resurrected, it would be an unexpected surprise.
This way, we might be able to acquire another method related to life and death.
“He is indeed fluctuating, but he is not breathing. Let’s wait and see if he can really come back to life.”
Cheng Feng did not sense the corpse breathing; the rise and fall of its chest seemed like a meaningless action.
After waiting for a while, the body did not show any further changes, remaining in a state of chest rise and fall without heartbeat or breathing.
At this moment, above the tomb chamber, Wu Sansheng and the others had already passed through the ruins of the imperial mausoleum and arrived near Hei Xiazi and the others.
Wu Sansheng's expression was strange throughout the journey. He found the scene somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
Not only him, but everyone else felt very uncomfortable.
Judging from the cut on the ground, the marks were clearly very fresh, as if they had just been cleaved open by a huge knife.
"Please stop here. My boss is dealing with something. Please do not come any closer."
Hei Xiazi came to the front of the group and immediately stopped them from approaching.
