At the end of the day, the weather gradually became hot again, so a few people collected the tableware and floral cloths and returned to Taohua Village.

Yan Hongxia is not interested in mahjong or Go, but is somewhat interested in Xiaocui's carving work.

Pick up the carving knife and imitate a little monkey that Xiao Cui has carved before.

“Case, wipe, wipe——”

After a moment, an identical little monkey appeared in her hand.

“Simple!” Yan Hongxia picked up another piece of wood, the carving knife whirled in her hand, and soon another wood-carved peach blossom appeared.

Xiaocui: ⊙_⊙

Does a swordsman have a bonus to carving skills?

Then, one afternoon, all the wood carvings that Xiao Cui had prepared for sale had a half-brother.

…

After spending the afternoon cooling off under the old peach tree and having dinner at Peach Blossom Village, the three of them said goodbye and left, heading back to Tonglin County.

Several people were walking through the mountain road. Yan Hongxia gritted her teeth and said as if she had made up her mind, "I'm going to leave tomorrow!"

Liu Qingyan heard this Yan Yi was surprised, "So soon?"

Although she knew that Yan Hongxia would not stay forever, Liu Qingyan did not expect that Yan Hongxia would leave tomorrow. .

"There's no need to be in such a hurry, right?" Liu Qingyan tried to persuade her, "There are still several scenic spots around, and there are two signature plays in Yuling Garden. Well, I still have a lot to ask Hongxia. ."

Yan Hongxia shook her head and said, "I will teach you everything I can teach you. After all, I don't major in flying swords, and I don't know some of the secrets of Feiyu Mountain.

In addition...

It’s been so comfortable these three days. If I stay any longer, I’m afraid I won’t want to leave. I can’t, I can’t! I have to leave!

Woo... And... um... can you prepare some food for me?"

Yan Hongxia swallowed her saliva, blinked, and said expectantly, "For example Talking about chocolate and toffee..."

"Of course." Liu Qingyan stepped forward and grabbed Yan Hongxia, "Qingyan will prepare it for you when she goes back. Let's talk by candlelight tonight, and , if you are traveling by chance, come to Tonglin County more often."

Yan Hongxia smiled and said, "That's the way it should be."

Lu Zheng also smiled, "Tomorrow Come on, okay? I'll prepare something for you."

Yan Hongxia said with a sly smile, "Okay, then I'll be disrespectful!"

…

A few people were chatting and laughing while running quickly on the forest path.

The leader, Lu Zheng, suddenly stopped. Yan Hongxia and Liu Qingyan also stopped immediately and turned to the depths of the dense forest to the east on the right.

"The aura of the netherworld."

"There is also the aura of the corpse."

A burst of aura of the netherworld floated over along with the corpse aura.

"Go and take a look!"

Yan Hongxia's eyes were focused, and her whole body was surrounded by sword energy. Then she straightened her body and rushed into the dense forest on the right.

Lu Zheng grabbed Liu Qingyan, and the two of them followed Yan Hongxia closely, elegant and light, seemingly slow but actually fast.

Liu Qingyan held Lu Zheng with one hand and held the ruby ​​sword with the other. She looked around and could strike with the sword at any time.

The three of them had only advanced less than two miles before they discovered the source of the netherworld aura and corpse aura just now.

Two corpses, and a zombie with red eyes?

I won’t talk about the two corpses, but only about the zombie, who was wearing a fancy outfit, with a black face, two fangs slightly exposed, sharp fingers, and pure red pupils. He seemed to have lost his mind.

"Roar!"

Seeing the three people appearing, the zombie roared, paused, and rushed forward.

"Hmph!"

Yan Hongxia kept moving and did not dodge. She just opened her mouth slightly, and a sharp sword energy shot straight from her mouth. It came out and penetrated the zombie's neck.

While penetrating the zombie's neck, the sword energy turned slightly as if it were a substance, and completely cut the zombie's neck open.

Gu Kuo/span "Gululu..."

The zombie's head rolled off its shoulders and rolled to the side along the slope.

"Plop!"

Of course, the zombie's body also fell to the ground, completely motionless.

“Zombie?”

Yan Hongxia reached the zombie’s head in two steps, broke off a branch and poked the zombie’s head.

"It's stuck! It's stuck!"

The zombie's head was still opening and closing trying to bite the branch.

Lu Zheng looked at the two corpses and saw that they were also covered in gray. They seemed to have been poisoned by corpse poison, but they did not turn into zombies.

"Their souls were too weak and were killed directly by the corpse poison." Liu Qingyan said with a frown..

Yan Hongxia stretched out her hand and lit a sword energy. The sword energy directly penetrated into the zombie's head, destroying its true soul.

"It has been contaminated by corpse poison and has no intelligence at all."

Lu Zheng blinked, "So he is not the first generation zombie?"
>
Lu Zheng has been here for a year and knows that there are also zombies here. They are ghost corpses that are locked in the body and absorb the extremely yin energy in the land.

Strictly speaking, there is actually no essential difference from giant corpses, water corpses, corpse babies, etc.

Well, the only difference is that zombies have a special corpse poison, which can slowly erode the soul and turn people who are not directly killed by zombies into monsters similar to zombies.

But this kind of monster has no intelligence, only instinct, so it is sometimes called a corpse puppet.

But not everyone can be turned into a corpse puppet. For example, the other two people at the scene were already in a state of dismay and were directly taken away by the corpse poison.

“Is there a zombie nearby?” Lu Zheng looked around.

"The zombies should be in the tombs."

Liu Qingyan came to the other two corpses, took a branch and turned it over, and found some miscellaneous things. The small parts are all used for making gold.

　“Tomb robber?”

　“Maybe he entered a tomb, but he didn’t expect there was a zombie inside.”

　“Uh... ...It's also miserable..."

"Burn them, otherwise, whether someone passes by or is eaten by wild animals, the corpse poison will inevitably spread." Liu Qingyan said.

So the three of them cut down some branches, found an open space, and burned all the three corpses.

"The zombie won't come out, right?"

"Isn't it possible? We have lived in Tonglin County for a long time and we have never seen any zombies causing trouble."

　“But what if he was asleep before, but now he is awakened by tomb robbers?”

　“...”

　“Can Have you found his tomb?"

"No, only corpse poison, and there is no breath on these three corpses."

Yan Hongxia then said, "Just now That zombie was a warrior when he was alive, so this place is probably not close to the tomb."

So the tomb is not easy to find.

Lu Zheng looked around. The mountains were high and the forests were dense. He really couldn't find it.

“Go home first, wait and see, if the zombies are causing trouble and news spreads in the county, we don't need to go find him, he will come to our door. "

So they continued to return to the city.

"I won't leave yet! Yan Hongxia suddenly said seriously, "Wait for a few days, wait for news, and see if this zombie comes out. If it comes out to harm people, then I will kill this zombie before leaving." ”

　“Great. "Liu Qingyan happily held Yan Hongxia's arm, "Then don't worry, since we can't find him anyway, why not go to Yuling Garden to watch the performance of "The Legend of Red Ling" tomorrow? "

"Really? Yeah! "Yan Hongxia's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly.

Lu Zheng: (ー_ー)!!
