Eternal Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 379 - 369: Corpse Land

Zombies came.

Xiaocao made the first move. To an existence without life, there was naturally no "waste." With a gentle raise of her hand, there was no fluctuation of power, nor a glimmer of light shining through.

Hmm?

Her pretty eyes widened slightly because the zombie was completely unaffected.

——Since zombies no longer had life, they naturally had no fear of toxins.

"Watch this, Miss here." Gu Qingcheng stepped forward, flashed a smile at the zombie, and said, "Ugly freak, get the hell away from Miss here immediately!"

Unmoved, the zombie kept walking towards them. A black snake poked its head out from the eye socket of the zombie, opened its mouth towards them, flicked its red tongue, and looked particularly ghastly.

Chu Hao burst into laughter and said, "That’s a dead person you’re trying to charm. If you could charm even the dead, you should change your name to ’ghost girl.’"

"Damn it!" Gu Qingcheng stamped her foot, it was unclear whether she was cursing the zombie or Chu Hao.

The Barbaric Girl jumped out, rolled up her sleeves, and said, "Better watch me!" She took a big step forward, blood qi surged to the heavens, fully displaying the might of Body Cultivation.

The zombie suddenly became agitated, reaching out its arms as if wanting to grab the girl, yet paradoxically stepping backward, looking very conflicted.

"Zombies, grown in the utmost Yin lands, crave fresh blood, and Yun Cai is a Body Cultivator, with exceptionally vigorous blood qi, which for zombies is an enriching substance, and may even restart their bodies, giving them a second life. On the other hand, blood qi can also be a double-edged sword. Yun Cai’s blood qi is too vigorous, which for Low Tier zombies is like the Sun, capable of outright melting them." Xiaocao explained from one side.

Indeed, under the Barbaric Girl’s pressure, the zombie kept retreating, losing all traces of fierceness. Having retreated more than a dozen steps, it was cornered against a wall.

If it were a normal creature, it would simply change direction at this time, but zombies lack spiritual intelligence. They were already dead, and their bodies could stand up only under some force, possessing an innate desire for fresh blood and battle, but that didn’t mean they could think.

So, even though the zombie was cornered, its feet still futilely shuffled backward.

The Barbaric Girl kept pushing closer, and unexpectedly, from the parched bark-like body of the zombie, black fluid began to seep out, the same from its seven orifices, as if its entire body was melting.

Hiss, the black snake hastily crawled out of the eye socket and quickly slithered away, tail wiggling.

As the Barbaric Girl pressed one step further, her powerful blood qi burned like a furnace.

Pop, a loud sound echoed as the zombie burst open, turning into countless pieces mixed with black fluid that splattered everywhere.

Chu Hao and the others quickly put up their shields, to avoid being splattered by the fluid. That stuff was extremely foul-smelling and even without corpse poison, nobody wanted to be stained by it.

"Innate Body Cultivators really do have astonishing blood qi." Gu Qingcheng exclaimed, then looked at the Barbaric Girl as if seeing her for the first time, her eyes filled with wonder, and said, "Little Yunyun, how about coming with sister to Wood State for fun?"

Seeing that the Barbaric Girl seemed unmoved, she added, "There are lots of delicious foods, like Ancient rare birds and all sorts of Spiritual Medicines to eat to your heart’s content."

The Barbaric Girl immediately drooled with greed. Gluttony was her biggest weakness, otherwise, she wouldn’t have stuck to Chu Hao simply because she smelled the scent of Dragon Tooth Rice. But immediately she remembered what Xiaocao had said, that the other person wasn’t a good person.

In her innocent heart, she actually quite envied Gu Qingcheng’s stunning beauty, especially her large breasts, which caused Chu Hao’s gaze to drift over once in a while. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Don’t kidnap children." Xiaocao eyed Gu Qingcheng, her right index finger twitching slightly, feeling the impulse to drug her again.

"I’m not a kid!" the Barbaric Girl glanced down at her own chest, then at Xiaocao’s and said, "My chest is the same size as yours now!"

Pfft, Chu Hao almost burst out laughing, quickly covering his mouth with his hand. So this was the Barbaric Girl’s criterion for adults and children, by chest size? Alas, this naive girl, who had been practicing with four monsters that together were over a thousand years old, couldn’t possibly truly understand the definition of a woman. He wondered where she had half-learned these ideas.

"Hahaha!" Demoness Gu couldn’t care less. She immediately let out a seductive laugh, then pushed out her chest, saying, "That’s right. This Miss here is what you call a woman. Little Yunyun, follow your sister, and I’ll teach you how to grow your chest that big!"

The Barbaric Girl was extremely tempted, but thinking of Xiaocao’s warning made her very hesitant.

"Hey, hey, hey, don’t treat me like I’m invisible." Chu Hao said. This demoness was flaunting her chest right in front of him. Did she want him to have a nosebleed? Just because he didn’t revolve around Gu Qingcheng like others, didn’t mean he was immune to this temptress’ charms.

He was a normal man, and at the age of 20, his blood was vigorous, filled with desire for the opposite sex.

Gu Qingcheng simply laughed coyly and gave Chu Hao a seductive look.

This temptress never missed a chance to flirt but if she really managed to ensnare someone, that person would definitely become her slave! This kind of beauty can only be conquered, and would not be moved by true affection, so any man trying to touch her with tenderness is doomed to a tragic fate.

Chu Hao then gave her a fierce look in return. If he was really provoked, he’d tie up this seductive demoness little by little.

The four of them continued forward. This second layer was also evidently a place frequently visited by many warriors; there were not many zombies, and most of the stone doors to the tombs had already been opened, clearly having been searched several times.

Chu Hao and his three companions did not let their guard down. War Emperor Tianshuang had said that he had slightly tampered with the place where the Fist Manual was stored, and it would be very difficult for ordinary people to notice. Therefore, if this Fist Manual was on the second tier, it was very likely that it would not be discovered and taken away by others.

This place was obviously perilous, with corpses visible from time to time. Some had been dead for many years, while others were newly dead, their bodies not yet decayed. Judging from the wounds on their bodies, some were clearly not killed by zombies; the clean cuts suggested they died by weapons.

Zombies certainly don’t use weapons, so it must have been the work of other Martial Artists.

No matter where, threats from one’s own kind are always the most terrifying.

Chu Hao couldn’t help but sigh—whether on Earth or Sky Martial Star, the nature of humans seemed no different.

With the Zombie Nemesis, the Barbaric Girl, they didn’t need to lift a finger as they passed through. Her vigorous Golden Blood Qi could simply explode zombies, but this situation changed when they reached the fifth tier.

The zombies here were stronger with each tier, and their resistance to the girl’s blood qi grew stronger. By the fifth tier, they were no longer exploded by the girl’s blood qi and had some power to fight back.

——Although she could still burst them with a few hits.

This served as a warning to the four of them. If they went down another four or five tiers, they might encounter zombies powerful enough to truly contend with the girl.

"How many tiers does this place have?" Gu Qingcheng asked somewhat boredly. Although they hadn’t been hindered by zombies as they passed, checking each tomb carefully was very time-consuming; they had already been in the Ancient Tomb for two days.

Two days in this pitch-dark place had clearly gotten to Demoness Gu.

"I don’t know," Chu Hao shook his head. "I didn’t ask."

"Who cares how many tiers, let’s fight all the way to the bottom," declared the Barbaric Girl, brimming with fighting spirit.

Xiaocao remained silent as if nothing in the world mattered to her.

Gu Qingcheng sighed, "Why did this miss end up coming out with you unreliable people, you’re really going to get me killed."

"You can always turn back, after all, this is only the fifth tier. Plus, you don’t have to check the tombs on the way back, at most it would take half a day to get out," Chu Hao said offhandedly.

"What, are you trying to get rid of this miss?" Seeing Chu Hao suggesting she leave, Gu Qingcheng felt irritable. Why was this man like that? Didn’t he see how stunningly beautiful she was, beloved by all, flowers blooming at her passing? Why was he always so tactless?

Damn that awful man. She would definitely make this bastard fall for her and then kick him to the curb, enjoying the sight of him weeping bitterly.

"Hmph, I refuse to leave," she stubbornly said.

Xiaocao looked towards Chu Hao, "How about I poison her a bit and let her lie there for a few days?" she suggested, pointing to a tomb with its stone door wide open.

Gu Qingcheng jumped in fright and, after screaming, hid behind the Barbaric Girl, saying shakily, "Don’t you dare." If she had to lie in a coffin where dead people had slept for a few days, her love of cleanliness would probably have her having nightmares for years.

And she also knew about Xiaocao’s capabilities when it came to using poison. Even a Peak Warrior of the Eight Springs Unification could be silently killed, so making her lie there for a few days was definitely not impossible.

Of course, she had Secret Treasures for protection, but whether they could defend against rare poisons, she really wasn’t sure.

"Forget it, don’t scare her," Chu Hao said with a smile.

That’s when Gu Qingcheng finally relaxed.

"I never lie," Xiaocao said ominously.

Hearing this, Demoness Gu couldn’t help but tense up again.

Chu Hao laughed heartily; there really was something to counter everything, Gu Qingcheng could charm all living beings, but she was powerless against Xiaocao.

They continued to move forward, carefully searching tier by tier, and on the fifth day, they reached the tenth tier.

The area of the tenth tier was at least ten times larger than that of the first, and as soon as they appeared on this tier, they immediately faced an attack from a zombie, its claw swiping at them rapidly.

The Barbaric Girl made her move, punching out with surging Golden Blood Qi and terrifying power.

Bang!

She clashed with the zombie, and both parties were forced back seven or eight steps.

Chu Hao’s eyes flashed. Although some zombies were no longer vulnerable to the girl’s blood qi, none had been a match for her, easily killed by a punch. But on this tier, a being finally appeared that could contest the girl’s strength.

"Again!" shouted the Barbaric Girl, stamping her foot so fiercely that a crack appeared on the ground, extending towards the zombie. Using the force of her stomp, she shot out swiftly, thrusting her fist again towards the zombie. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at Qidian (qidian.com).
