Rebellious Contract Beast

Chapter 234 The Living Inferi

Shen Yi was startled. Through his senses, he saw from the room that it was indeed a corpse. He was very sure.

But these corpses are standing firmly on the ground like living people. How can this not be scary?
"What the hell is this?"

There were a total of six corpses in the room, a man, two women, a child, and two old people. They stood face to face, with their heads lowered and their backs hunched over, facing each other motionless. Coupled with the dark light in the room, the atmosphere was... The spookiness has reached a new level.

Such a scene reminded Shen Yi of a certain scene in "The Old Corpse in a Mountain Village" from his childhood, and his heart couldn't help but beat faster.

Through Tsurumi Chuyun's sight, he saw the purple skin on the backs of the hands of these dead bodies.

"Why is this happening?" he asked. Tsurumi Chuyun also recovered from the initial shock and replied in a deep voice: "This is the Inferi."

"Inferi?" Shen Yi felt a little familiar at this moment, but soon he asked again: "Is it the same species as the inferi you met in the Caizi Village mass grave?"

"Yes." She nodded, her expression becoming more solemn.

"man-made?"

"It's man-made. There should be evil cultivators nearby." Tsurumi Chuyun explained. He finally looked away and looked around carefully. Many furniture in the room had been covered with a layer of dust. At the corner of the wall, you can see the broken tiles above, light shining in, and a puddle on the ground.

The furniture in the room has not been touched, but there is not much dust on the ground. This shows that these inferi are active on weekdays, and I don't know what the evil cultivators nearby use them for.

She searched the house but found nothing useful. What she wanted most now was food. Unfortunately, there was food here, but it was all rotten and inedible.

After that, she went into other houses one after another and searched again, but the situation was very different.

So after rummaging through the fourth house but not finding anything to eat, she simply stopped looking. When she went out, she was going to find a place to camp first, and then see if there was any prey to hunt on the road.

Strangely enough, along the way to Jizhou, apart from the mountains and peaks, she and Shen Yi didn't see any wild animals, let alone larger ones, not even a squirrel.

Now I can only hope that I will have better luck in the future, encounter a deer or something in the wild, and grill it to fill my stomach.

But just when He Jian Chuyun came to the entrance of the village, Shen Yi saw her intention and couldn't help calling her out: "No, you want to spend the night in the wild again?"

"Otherwise... uh..." She was about to reply "No", but she lost her voice after just two words. This Jizhou is just like the rumors. Because of the war, there are many evil spirits. After more than ten days, she and Shen Yi had encountered evil spirits more than once. Fortunately, the evil spirits they encountered were not too strong to deal with. Tsurumi Chuyun could barely deal with them, but it was not easy.

There is no other reason. Because of the snake venom, although Shen Yi has recovered now, the sequelae still exist. In addition to feeling cold from time to time, his dragon breath cannot be sprayed out and can only spray out a large amount of black smoke. It has no lethality at all, so Tsurumi Hatsuun has a hard time dealing with evil spirits. He can only rely on the defensive power of the God of Life Armor and the Flower God Hairpin to survive.

Especially two nights ago, when she was camping in the wild, she encountered a Jingmei. Although it had not fully grown up, it still had the strength of a net level.

It was late at night. If she hadn't been sleeping very lightly and could wake up at the slightest movement and discovered this thing in advance, otherwise she would have been waiting for Shen Yi, the god of sleep, who was submerged in the water and didn't even notice it, to remind them. They would have died long ago. There it is.

She discovered it quickly at that time and escaped a disaster, but because Shen Yi couldn't spit out the dragon's breath for the time being, she was really passive in the face of the evil spirit. When she found that she couldn't kill the evil spirit, she asked Shen Yi to pack up her things and flee in panic. .

Generally speaking, it is no longer suitable to camp in the wild within the boundaries of Jizhou like in Weizhou and Changzhou.

But then again, choosing to spend the night in this village, isn't it a bit unsettling?

The entire villagers in Xiyue Village have been turned into Yin Corpses, which clearly tells you that there are evil cultivators here.

"But...is there any evil cultivator here?"

Shen Yi snorted and said nonchalantly: "How about you choose one between Xie Sui and Xie Xiu."

"Uh..." He Jian Chuyun was speechless again, but it seemed right to think so. Compared with Xie Sui, Xie Cultivator was obviously easier to deal with. After all, he was not a spirit body, and Shen Yi could also come out...According to what he said That is, you can come out with steel and steel.

The reason why evil cultivators are called evil cultivators is because they specialize in practicing some unscrupulous heresies and never follow the right path. The art of corpse refining is one of the most common and basic evil cultivators. .

Generally speaking, a fledgling evil cultivator will choose to use the art of corpse refining as a way to get started.

As for those powerful evil cultivators, although they will also choose to practice the art of corpse refining, their requirements for corpses are very strict, and they look down upon the corpses of ordinary people at all.

As for these Yin corpses in front of you, you can tell at a glance that they were just ordinary people when they were alive, so the evil cultivator who is refining the corpse here is most likely not very strong and should be easier to deal with.

After a pause, she said helplessly: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"now it's right."

After that, she released Shen Yi and worked with him to choose a house for the night. After choosing for a long time, Tsurumi Chuyun finally chose a house that collapsed in half. As for those houses that were intact, the corpses inside were not known to be inside. After living there for several months, she didn't want to spend the night there again.

The reason why she chose this half-collapsed house was also very simple. There were no Inferi inside.

After a brief cleaning and tidying up, she thought that she couldn't ignore the Inferi in the village, so she said to Shen Yi: "Go and deal with those Inferi now."

"Leave me alone?"

"The two of us?"

"Is there any virus on the corpse?"

"Uh... It seems there is, it seems there isn't... Okay, stop inking and come with me."

After waving to Shen Yi, Hejian Chuyun led him into one of the houses. Soon Shen Yi and the others found three corpses standing together in the ancestral hall.

Shen Yi waved his claws in front of one of the Yin corpses, turned to Tsurumi Chuyun and called out: "Old witch."

"Eh?"

"This Inferi really can't move?"

"It won't move, don't worry, it needs someone to control it."

"Oh~" Shen Yi nodded, pushed forward with his paws, and the Inferi in front of him, with its back turned to him, fell straight to the ground with a loud bang, with a large amount of green dust shaking off its body.

Shen Yi bared his teeth for a moment. How should I put it, there was no rotten smell. The smell of the corpse was like the pungent plastic smell of grapefruit peels that had been put aside for a long time and became rotten.

I originally thought about dragging these corpses out and burning them together, but when I turned around, I found that the old witch had taken a sheet from somewhere, tore it in half and wrapped it in her left and right hands respectively. This serves as a glove.

"Don't be stunned, drag them all out quickly."

"No...why are you still wrapping your hands in cloth?"

"The Yin Corpse is so dirty..."

"Find another sheet and wrap it up for me too." "But..."

"But what? I feel dirty too."

"Fine……"

Tsurumi Chuyun turned around and brought out another sheet, and wrapped up his forelimbs according to Shen Yi's instructions before officially moving the corpse in the room.

There are a lot of Inferi in the entire Xiyue Village. There are hundreds of them in total. It is a waste of energy to move them. I looked at the sky and found that it was already dark now. The shadowy woods outside made the whole village even more... Terrible.

Hundreds of infernal corpses piled up together to form a hill, and the pungent smell emitted made people confused.

I scanned the village with my senses and found that only the last two families were left, and Tsurumi Chuyun was dragging two corpses over in the distance.

Withdrawing his gaze, Shen Yi entered a house in the distance. This house was relatively simple, and there was only an old bachelor living in it.

After opening the door, Shen Yi put the corpse down with ease, then pulled up the collar and pulled it out. But soon he noticed something was wrong, stopped and turned to look at the face of the old bachelor. Discovered something unusual about this Inferi.

Other Inferi have their eyes closed, but this guy is amazing, he actually has his eyes open.

Moreover, it seems to have focus in its eyes.

Shen Yi mentally scratched his head and didn't understand a bit, but he just thought he was being fooled and continued to drag the inferi forward.

But as he walked, he thought about it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He stopped and turned to look at the face of the inferi, which was rotting and covered with dark green mold. This time he looked much more seriously than before, and this time Upon taking a look, he really discovered that the eyes of this Inferi were indeed focused.

"Huh?" Shen Yi was confused. He walked around in a circle and came to the front of the Inferi. He shook his paw in front of him, but it was okay if he didn't shake. The eyeball on the left side of the Inferi visibly trembled twice. .

"..."

"What the hell!"

Shen Yi instinctively took a step back, came back to his senses, looked in the direction of Tsurumi Chuyun and called her loudly.

"Old witch! Old witch! Come here quickly!"

"what's up?"

"Something happened! The Inferi is still alive!"

"Alive?" Hejian Chuyun's doubtful voice came quickly. She used her strength to throw the two Yin corpses she was dragging with her hands into the pile of corpses, and then walked quickly towards Shen Yi. .

"Where is it alive?"

"Look if you don't believe me." Shen Yi stretched out his paw and shook it in front of the Inferi's eyes again, and then saw its eyes trembling twice. Although only one eye could move, the abnormality could be clearly seen.

For a moment, Hejian Chuyun frowned and felt a little nervous in his heart.

"It shouldn't be..." She also followed Shen Yi and waved her hand in front of the Yin Corpse, and then the other party looked at her, but his expression was very complicated, and it was difficult to describe clearly in a short time.

Indeed, this corpse was still alive for some unknown reason. He Jian Chuyun fell into deep thought. After a while, she didn't know what she was thinking. She looked at Shen Yi. Under his unclear gaze, He took out a talisman from the storage space and put it on the forehead of the Inferi without saying a word. After a while, the runes on the talisman disappeared, and black veins popped up on the face of the Inferi. Its face looked more ferocious.

"What are you doing?" Shen Yi asked.

He Jian Chuyun shook his head and quickly replied: "This is the soul-fixing talisman. I used it to do an experiment."

"Then what?" Shen Yi was still confused by Erzhang Monk.

Then she looked at the corpses in the pile of corpses in the distance, frowned and said, "These are the corpses that were made alive."

"Live exercise, what?"

Taking a deep breath, Hejian Chuyun explained to Shen Yi.

Generally speaking, after death, the soul returns to the netherworld. When entering reincarnation, the only thing left in the body is the soul. Corpse refining is an evil practice that uses the soul as the entry point to animate the dead body, and then uses some special The method allows the dead corpse to cultivate corpse energy, and as time goes by, it becomes his right-hand man.

In addition to souls, souls can also be used as the starting point for refining corpses, but what you need to do this is not dead corpses, but living people!

Their souls were locked in their bodies, retaining their consciousness. They could not go to heaven or go to the earth. They could only watch their bodies turn into inferi, and they could do nothing.

It's cruel to think about turning living people into inferi.

After hearing her explanation, Shen Yi looked at the face of the inferi again. This time he finally understood what the look in its eyes meant. It was a look of pleading and pain.

And the next second, Tsurumi Chuyun raised the long sword in his hand, and the head of the corpse was separated immediately, and the head flew to the side. As soon as it hit the ground, the body and head turned into a pool of loose green sand.

Then, Shen Yi saw a dull soul appear in front of him. After hesitating for a while, it slowly floated into the distance.

He Jian Chuyun put away his sword and said to Shen Yi: "Let's move faster, burn these Yin corpses, and then leave here."

"Yeah." Shen Yi nodded and said nothing more.

If you simply use the corpses of ordinary people to refine the corpse, you can still treat it as a weak evil cultivator. However, if you encounter an infernal corpse refined from a living person, it is very likely to be a demon cultivator.

Among evil cultivators and demonic cultivators, the former just practices some crooked ways, while the latter practices directly in evil ways.

If there is a demonic cultivator lurking in Xiyue Village, it's hard to say what his strength is. The best option is to avoid it for now.
They didn't waste any more time after that, and there were only three Inferi left, two of which were children. They quickly dragged them over and threw them on top of the pile of corpses.

Shen Yi opened his mouth next to him and sprayed out a large cloud of black smoke with a strong force. He didn't even see a spark, so he helplessly signaled to Tsurumi Chuyun.

Seeing this, she could only take out a Yang Yan Talisman. She squeezed it gently, and the Sun Flame Talisman burned. Then she flicked her hand again, and the flames in her hand flew to the pile of corpses.

Seeing the flames engulfing all the Inferi and illuminating the whole village, she released the horse and comforted her for a while. However, just as she was about to get on the horse, she was also preparing to enter Shen Yi in her consciousness space. But his footsteps suddenly stopped, he looked at Tsurumi Chuyun and said in shock: "Old witch!"

Tsurumi Chuyun's expression turned cold, and the horse in front of her disappeared instantly. She took out the green leaf dart at an extremely fast speed, turned around and threw it into the darkness in the distance.

"get out!"
