The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 603 Swamp
I took out the binoculars and looked in the direction where the refining corpse left. Since it was daytime and the light was bright, I really saw a lot of things.The first is the footprints, there are the footprints of refining corpses, and there is another footprint, which is deeper and seems to be larger, but no matter how you look at it, it is the footprint of a person.At this moment, I suddenly thought of the black-haired monster, and thought to myself, could it be it?But when I recalled it carefully, the footprints in front of me were smaller than that of the black-haired monster.

Furthermore, I know the strength of the black-haired monster. Although it won't kill the refined corpse, it is impossible to kill the refined corpse in such a short period of time.

So, what's going on?

At the end of the telescope, it was blocked by densely packed branches, and there were no extra things to be seen.

I said to Zhou Xuanye: "Do you want to go and have a look?"

Zhou Xuanye shook his head: "The enemy is in the dark, but I am in the light." While speaking, the Corpse Refining, who guarded us and looked vigilant, suddenly relaxed.Zhou Xuanye glanced at it and said, "The thing that made it feel threatened is no longer nearby."

I said, "Then what do we do now?"

Zhou Xuanye said: "Since the enemy is gone, let's collect the corpses of our comrades."

Collect the body?It's time to check the cause of death!

Having said that, Zhou Xuanye didn't move, he looked at the glasses where he was, and when he was about to speak, the glasses said: "You guys go." Zhou Xuanye probably worried about him, pondered for a moment, and said: "I Let Xiaosan stay."

Xiao San... Could it be that the refining corpse that died just now was called Xiao Er?
After finishing speaking, Zhou Xuanye got up and walked in the direction where the refining corpse left. Although I was greedy for safety, I was really curious about how the refining corpse 'died', and I wanted to know more about who the owner of those footprints was. Also followed.

Seeing this, Zhou Xuanye didn't stop me, he just gave me a dagger for self-defense, I asked him to give me another gun, he said: "Give me a gun, let you feed me the gun behind my back?"

This old fox is simply a roundworm in people's stomachs, it's beyond his imagination.

I said, "Brother Zhou, what about the trust between people? Why do you think I'm so cruel? No matter how much I hate you, I won't be able to shoot behind you."

Zhou Xuanye was very vigilant, and while observing the surrounding environment, he said, "Trust? Our previous trust has long been gone." After speaking, he sighed, as if he was extremely regretful.I don't know if his sigh is true or not, I doubt even a single sigh, but I have to admit, just like what Zhou Xuanye said, the trust between us has long since disappeared.

How trusting you were before, how suspicious you are now.

Every action, every word, is inseparable from suspicion.Such suspicious people are very unpopular, and I used to dislike them, but now I don't think about them, but I have become such a person myself.

Zhou Xuanye refused to give me a gun. It is more dangerous in this environment, so I can only follow him closely.There are many clues left by the corpse refining and that unknown thing.The only thing that can be judged is that the speed of the thing should be very fast, and the body is very solid, because along the way, we saw a lot of broken branches, and there was no scratched blood on the broken branches.

This shows that that thing should have very thick skin, and what is weird is that, judging from the footprints, its first reaction after seeing the refined corpse was to run away. , and has considerable bouncing power.

Although it didn't take long for this scene to happen, it was enough for the corpse to chase for a long distance.Zhou Xuanye said that the batch of corpses he is currently refining can reach a speed of 12 meters per second with all his strength, but manipulating such a speed will also consume Zhou Xuanye himself.In terms of metaphysics, it needs to consume thoughts, and in terms of science, it will consume the bioelectricity and brain waves in Zhou Xuanye's body.

So this speed is generally not used.

Before Zhou Xuanye chased after the corpse refining, it suddenly disconnected before it could use all its strength.

Even so, the Corpse Refined chased for a long distance, about three hundred meters away, and I finally understood how the Corpse Refined died.I saw that when I walked to a position with a slightly lower terrain, the front suddenly opened up.

The dense forest in this place has completely disappeared here.

A large area without trees or even a blade of grass appeared ahead.

The soil in this area is gray-black, and the surface is covered with dead leaves from the surrounding ancient trees.It seems to be an ordinary piece of land, but the refined corpse is lying on the ground in front of it at this moment.

To be exact, only half of the body was exposed, while the remaining half sank into the soil.

What was left outside were two stiff legs. This was no ordinary mud, it was a swamp.

I said: "It turned out that the refined corpse fell into the swamp."

Zhou Xuanye stared at the two straight legs that stretched upwards, and said: "This is not a swamp, even if it falls into the swamp, the refining corpse cannot lose its sense." Then, he took out the rope from the equipment bag, tied a knot, Throwing the rope over, it caught the corpse's upright legs, and immediately tried to pull it towards us.

Unexpectedly, with just a light pull, the refined corpse was pulled over. Before I pulled it closer to my body, I could see clearly that the refined corpse's upper body was as if it had been corroded. It's all gone, only half of the spine is left, and the spine is wrapped with a little rotten muscle. As it is pulled towards us, the meat on it falls off. Only the lower body remains.

I stared at this one butt and two legs, and I was a little bit surprised.A stench came out from the half of the corpse.It was a very strong rotten smell, and it was not just the smell of rotting corpses, but rather the smell of many different things mixed together, not to mention how disgusting it was.

I covered my mouth and said, "No wonder you lost contact. Your refined corpse has lost even its upper body. This is indeed not a swamp... The mud inside seems to be very corrosive." At this moment, I also understood Why did this refining corpse die over here?

Zhou Xuanye and I came all the way here, we could only see the footprints of the chase, but there were no traces of fighting. Obviously, that unknown thing deliberately led the refined corpse to this place.

The footprints also ended here. It is impossible for that thing to run into this strange corrosive swamp by itself, so the only possibility is to climb a tree.I can think of this, so naturally Zhou Xuanye can think of it too.

I noticed that Zhou Xuanye breathed a sigh of relief. After all, although the corpse refining was dead, it was equivalent to falling into a trap and dying. At best, it showed that the enemy had a certain amount of wisdom, but the force value was definitely not as high as the corpse refining.This can be regarded as the greatest comfort to us. After I figured this out, I was actually secretly happy, thinking to myself why the other corpse was not brought over to kill it, what a pity.

On the other side, after Zhou Xuanye figured out what was going on, he had the heart to exterminate the grass, and he motioned me to look around for clues about that thing.According to our guess, since this thing can lead the refining corpse directly into the swamp, it means that it was running ahead at that time.

It can't fall into the swamp, so it can only go up the tree.

And looking up at the place where the corpse was trapped before refining, you can see the thick branches of the surrounding ancient trees protruding into the sky above the swamp.

The situation is clear at a glance, that thing must be very good at climbing and jumping, climbed on the branch, and lured the corpse, but the corpse sent itself into this weird swamp.

Although I guessed the general situation of that thing, the forest in Heizhugou was deep and dense, and that thing was like water like an ocean, even if I searched for it now, it was difficult to find its trace. After searching around for a while, I couldn't find any obvious clues. Decided to turn back.

I asked Zhou Xuanye what to do with the half of the body, Zhou Xuanye threw the remaining half of the body back into the swamp without saying a word.This time, because it was thrown sideways, the entire lower body was quickly rotted and disappeared.

"Damn it, you're too inhumane, let's not talk about refining corpses, if something goes wrong, let's collect the corpses!"

Zhou Xuanye smiled, and said: "Collect the corpse? You should consider it. If something happens to you, who will collect the corpse for you." After speaking, I was about to leave. I was choked by him and had nothing to say. Anyway, the corpse was thrown away. It really has nothing to do with me, so I can only leave this matter behind.

Thinking of the corrosive power of the swamp and the corpse, I felt creepy and didn't want to stay here any longer, so I rushed to the front, leaving Zhou Xuanye behind.I looked back and saw that the fox was not in a hurry, but the smile that was always on his face was gone, obviously he was still unhappy about the loss of a refined corpse.

This look of expressing his mood on his face is much more pleasing to the eye than the usual gentle fake smile.

I used to think that Zhou Xuanye was easy-going, good-tempered, and loved to laugh, but now seeing him smile once, I felt a shock in my heart, as if I was talking to Hua Pi.The ghost knows what kind of face is underneath after peeling off this gentle layer of skin.
