Chapter 711 38: Slaying the Flood Serpent and Seizing the Rare Treasure
Gusts of eerie wind.
A faint scent of blood filled the forest. Miss Sun squatted down to examine the corpse on the ground and said in a condensed voice, "It should have been killed last night!"
"No more than three hours ago."
If Duncan didn't have a god's eye view, Miss Sun would definitely be the most important support unit in the group.
Fu Jianhan picked up the Crimson Strike Technique manual on the ground, flipped through it casually, and stored it in his sleeve. He practiced martial arts from various schools and was used to collecting different manuals. This technique utilized the Shaoyang Triple Warmer meridian, condensing a different type of True Qi. A palm strike was like a red-hot branding iron, matching well with his True Qi.
"I guess it's the work of those Flying Zombies."
Yu Yaonu checked the wounds, frowned, and said, "The corpse poison has invaded the heart. If not treated, it might turn into a zombie by tonight."
She and Miss Sun, one studied medicine, the other studied toxic arts.
Can it really turn into a zombie?
In that case, couldn't we kill it again tonight?
Duncan seemed to have thought of some strange monster-refreshing Dharma Gate; Fu Jianhan was about to take action but was stopped by Duncan, who said, "Don't rush, it will be useful later."
Upon hearing this, Fu Jianhan put away his longsword. He had operated in the frontier for many years and was skilled at tracking. He once pursued and killed thirteen notorious bandits alone in the northern border. He just squatted down to look at the footprints on the ground and said in a deep voice, "They went in that direction."
Duncan nodded slightly, expanded the god's eye view, and indeed saw a fleeting red dot just at the edge of the mini-map.
"Let's go!"
His figure swept through the air, and the others followed. However, contrary to Fu Jianhan's judgment, Duncan saw not just one red dot mark, but two.
——Bone-breaking Mad Monk (Flying Zombie) (Five-Star Silver Gray).
The nearest red dot to them was hiding under a pile of rotting deadwood and leaves. If Duncan hadn't had the god's eye view turned on, it would have been extremely difficult to discover the target.
This Flying Zombie seemed to have regained some consciousness, lying there motionless, seemingly planning to ambush others.
The other red dot mark was quite bizarre!
Duncan had seen it before, but it quickly disappeared. However, not long after, it reappeared, and it wasn't on the flat map as if it was in a different layer.
"Could there be an underground river below?"
Duncan heard the sound of water. The geography of the southern region was quite special, with many places having underground rivers and caves.
The legendary Ten Thousand Year Stone Stalactite is produced in this area.
——Black Serpent (Metamorphosing Jiao) (Five-Star Gold)!
South of the Black Water, there is a Black Serpent, feeding on mud.
This enemy's mark was difficult to catch, and the exact location was unclear; only the moving red dot could be seen, feeling quite large, probably similar to a giant python.
"Stop!"
"Something's not right ahead. Yin evil is converging; there might be an ambush."
Duncan couldn't explain the god's eye view, but as an expert in cultivating Gangsha, when he spoke, the others immediately stopped. Fu Jianhan trusted him deeply and asked, "Yin evil converging? Could it be that demon sect old monster's Flying Zombie refining nearby?"
Having heard this, Yu Yaonu took out a small basket at her waist, holding a flying insect in her palm. The insect slightly trembled as if sensing some dangerous aura.
She immediately said, "There should be a vicious thing ahead; my Gu insect has sensed it."
"I just don't know the exact location!"
Duncan pointed in one direction, then signaled the others with his eyes. Fu Jianhan's figure soared into the sky, climbing the ancient trees like a flying ape. Yu Yaonu swung her long whip lightly, and soon also vanished into the dense foliage.
Miss Sun glanced at him gravely and softly said, "Be careful!"
Silver needles appeared in her palm, infused with True Qi, radiating a gentle glow, and she disappeared gracefully among the trees like a butterfly flitting among flowers.
With Lu Shanjun absent, Duncan was the strongest front-row tank here.
An expert in horizontal training fears no ambush.
"Need to find a chance to let them know my sharp senses far surpass ordinary people."
Duncan slowly advanced alone, as if drawn by the bloodstains, inch by inch approaching the Flying Zombie's position.
Sure enough.
As his figure got closer, the Flying Zombie immediately reacted but still endured, waiting silently for the prey to enter within twenty zhang.
Flying Zombie, as the name implies, had a semblance of flight capability, moving with extreme swiftness.
Crack.
Duncan seemed to unintentionally step on a twig, causing the completely zombified Bone-breaking Mad Monk to lose patience. With Qi Force bursting forth, rotten twigs and leaves flew everywhere, and a figure lunged at Duncan like a lightning bolt.
Good timing!
Duncan charged forward, both palms condensing Gangsha, his five fingers sharp as gold and iron. With a booming sound, the Bone-breaking Mad Monk's body flew backward, then bounced up straight again.
The palm strike felt like hitting an iron plate, even emitting metallic clangs.
After turning into a zombie, the Bone-breaking Mad Monk's bones and muscles became even more terrifying. Its murky pupils showed bloodthirsty intent, and its mouth was full of sharp fangs. Unlike zombies from later tales, it moved almost like a human.
A gust of corpse gas spewed from its mouth. After springing up straight, the Flying Zombie flew again, seeming to shrink ground with a springing leg, its sharp five claws directly stabbing at Duncan's throat.
But just then, a figure descended from the sky.
Fu Jianhan's figure appeared atop the ancient tree's crown. A three-foot long sword with condensed sword light, a streak of pure Yang sword Qi cleaved a deep wound down to the bones on the monster's back. Yet no blood was visible, the wound resembling torn, worn-out leather.
Thousand Spiders Poisonous Hands.
Yu Yaonu's figure quickly followed, swooping in from another direction, both palms turning dark cyan, with palm creases like a green spider under True Qi flow. Her light seemingly floating palm imprinted on the Flying Zombie's back, and the zombie's flesh instantly decomposed, the corrosive poison reaching the heart, even melting part of the spine.
