Chapter 81: Huo Huo Worm Valley, Looting the Tomb of King Xian (First Order)

After sleeping for three full days, Ding Hai stretched and woke up leisurely.

Looking around, he saw that the mountain temple was relatively clean and tidy. He silently gave credit to Director Zhang for his contribution.

The kind that never comes true.

Old Zhang is a thoughtful person. He even knew to place him in the house. That’s good.

After standing up and stretching his muscles, Ding Hai walked out of the mountain temple.

After leaving the temple, he looked at the vibrant Insect Valley on the left, then at the primitive jungle on the right that looked like it had been gnawed by a dog, and couldn't help falling into deep thought.

If he remembered correctly, the jungle on the right should have been tall and dense, with trees intertwined and branches and leaves so dense that they formed a natural barrier.

The sun occasionally shines through the gaps, forming only beams of light that barely illuminate the depths of the jungle.

In that jungle, each creature is trying to find a way to survive. Monkeys are jumping nimbly between trees, colorful butterflies are dancing among the flowers, and birds are singing on the branches.

The scenery should be picturesque, but what the hell is going on now?

While Ding Hai was stunned, Zhang Zhiwei walked towards the mountain temple, cursing and beating the little Taotie.

"I'm telling you, don't be ungrateful, just spit it out! I'm easy to talk to, but the one lying in the temple is no joke.

If he wakes up, he might really peel off your skin, pull out your tendons, and cut off your meat for hot pot."

However, no matter how Zhang Zhiwei hit it, the little Taotie showed no reaction.

In the end, it simply closed its eyes and started playing dead.

"What's going on?" Ding Hai asked Zhang Zhiwei curiously.

The little Taotie, who was pretending to be dead, shuddered involuntarily when he heard Ding Hai's voice.

"Didn't we give it this primeval forest as a reward? After finishing its work three days ago, this evil beast stayed in this forest to eat and drink to its heart's content.

It was a tactless creature. After eating up all the medicinal herbs and rare animals in the forest, it even ate the trees with a little vitality."

"It doesn't matter, since we promised to give it this forest, it's its business no matter how it destroys it.

But it should never swallow a person. I hit it just now because of this."

People? Where are the people here?
Is there anyone coming from the ancient village of Zhalong in the lower reaches of the Snake River?

Ding Hai didn't react for a moment.

But the bare primitive jungle before him reminded him that King Xian's high priest seemed to be buried in a magical tree in this jungle.

Could it be that when it ate the tree, it swallowed the coffin along with the tree?
Although the golden short staff in the high priest's hand was of some use in the subsequent journey, that was only for the three tomb-raiding group.

For Ding Hai and the others, that thing was of no use at all.

But Dingxie was not so self-righteous as to think that his guess was necessarily correct: "It didn't eat the people of Zhalong Ancient Village in the lower reaches of the Snake River, did it?"

"No. What I want it to spit out is a coffin hidden in a tree.

Judging from the shape of the coffin, it was obvious that someone had been buried inside. What was the difference between it devouring the coffin and eating a human corpse alive? "

Zhang Zhiwei was still somewhat indignant and hoped to take the coffin out of the little Taotie's stomach.

As a human being, he could not tolerate his pet eating humans in the future.

If that day ever comes, he vows to clean up the mess himself.

"Forget it. Looking at its state, it would have vomited long ago if it could." Ding Hai could understand Zhang Zhiwei's thoughts, but the Taotie clan could not even control their own stomachs.

The food they eat, unless it is particularly solid, will basically be digested as soon as it enters their stomachs.

It was rare for Little Taotie to hear Ding Hai speak a fair word for him. However, he was not grateful to Ding Hai for this. Instead, he secretly became more alert.

More than ten days ago, that bastard Ding Hai asked that bastard Zhang Zhiwei to catch a giant green-scaled python for him.

Then, soon, it had dug through a mountain with great difficulty.

Now, he is suddenly so nice to me again, there must be something fishy.

Ding Hai had no idea that Little Taotie was slandering him in his heart, otherwise he would have snatched Little Taotie from Zhang Zhiwei and given it a good beating.

After persuading Zhang Zhiwei, Ding Hai began to focus on the gift he had prepared for his master.

"Where did you take my flying zombie?"

Knowing the nature of Big Beast No. 3, Ding Hai did not expect this big beast to behave himself while he was in a coma.

"Your flying zombie was restless and wanted to assassinate you the night you fell into a coma. After I stopped him, he tried to sneak away.

It even lured the little Taotie to follow it down the Snake River and eat all the people in Zhalong Ancient Village.”

Zhang Zhiwei was very disgusted with the flying zombie and immediately applied a lot of eye drops to it.

"Nonsense, expecting zombies to be good? Are you still asleep or am I?
It's been locked up there, let it out quickly, it will be useful later."

How could Ding Hai not know the nature of big beast No. 3? The reason why he didn't wipe out its consciousness immediately was purely because he thought it was still useful, otherwise he would have sent it to reincarnation long ago.

Zhang Zhiwei heard this and pointed to the vibrant insect valley on the left: "Look, I put your flying zombie in this insect tunnel.

It’s quite strange to say, but since it entered this worm tunnel, it has never come out again.

If I hadn't been able to sense the restriction I had set up in the worm tunnel, I would have thought it had already escaped."

Staying in the Worm Valley and not coming out? Ding Hai doesn't remember what's so special about the Worm Valley?
After learning the whereabouts of the flying zombie, Ding Hai said no more and turned to walk towards the Worm Valley.

The poisonous miasma that could blind Blind Chen's night eyes was completely ineffective against Ding Hai.

Zhang Zhiwei looked at Ding Hai's receding back and followed him.

After entering the Insect Valley, Ding Hai noticed something was wrong.

The creatures in the Insect Valley seemed to have fallen into a state of frenzy. The poisonous insects that were originally clearly divided became restless and frantically bit all the creatures around them, including their own kind.

Shouldn't this be true?
The ecological environment of Chonggu relies on the underground Huo's immortal worm. As long as there is no problem with the Huo's immortal worm, there will be no problem with the Chonggu Valley.

Ding Hai frowned slightly, extended his spiritual sense, and began to quickly search for his flying zombie.

A moment later, he found traces of the flying zombie in a natural crack in the back half of the Insect Valley.

Now that you're here, let's go in and take a look.

The flying zombie that was chased into the Insect Valley by Zhang Zhiwei was lying on a giant bronze beast, devouring its life essence fiercely.

After seeing this situation, Ding Hai finally realized that all the poisonous insects in the Insect Valley were restless.

The source of their life, the Huo's immortal worm, had been eaten by the flying zombie, with a hole made in its butt, leaving only a layer of skin.

Without Huo's immortal insects, these poisonous insects that rely on the immortal insects to survive will soon become extinct one after another.

If they don't get restless now, they will never have the chance to get restless again.

No wonder the flying zombie refused to leave after entering the insect valley. It turned out that it had found food that would allow it to continue to advance vigorously in a short period of time. Looking at the flying zombie in front of him, his aura became deeper and his eyes became more lively.

Ding Hai walked up to him and kicked him eight feet away without any hesitation.

After being kicked away by Ding Hai, the flying zombie instantly became furious and wanted to kill anyone who prevented it from eating.

But before it could make any move, several lightning bolts suddenly burst out from the large orifices all over its body, shocking it like a fool.

"Eat, eat, eat. All you know is to eat. You don't even notice that there's too much vitality in your body." Ding Crab didn't take the flying zombie seriously. The reason he kicked it away was not because he was jealous of its good fortune.

On the contrary, Ding Kai, who was ready to wipe out its consciousness and make it into a puppet to give to his master Qing Yunzi, attached great importance to it at the moment.

A large amount of vitality can indeed make it take a big step towards becoming a drought demon, but excessive vitality will only destroy the good fortune within the body of this flying zombie.

Things like zombies are not in the Three Realms and are outside the Five Elements.

Logically speaking, everything that happened in life has nothing to do with the zombies that resurrect after death.

But the world is so big, there will always be some unexpected things.

The zombie in front of you that can burrow underground is one example.

According to Ding Hai's speculation, this flying zombie's talent in earth element when he was alive might not be lower than Shi Jian's thunder spirit body.

Moreover, after its death, it must have been blessed by the special feng shui of that generation in Fukang County by chance.

Due to the combination of many factors, it was able to become a flying zombie in such a short period of time.

But if we let it continue to lie on the Huo's immortal worm and continue to eat it.

In a day at most, the excess vitality in this flying zombie's body will overwhelm other forces and lead it to a new round of evolution.

Because the power of its evolution this time mainly comes from the vitality accumulated in its body. After completing the evolution, its power will involuntarily tend to this aspect.

As a result, its earth-based talent, which is most valued by Ding Hai, will soon be mostly worn away by the new power.

For Ding Hai, if this flying zombie loses its inherent earth-moving talent, it will no longer be worth training.

There are several flying zombies that have been worn down to a white slab in the Demon-Suppressing Tower at the back of Maoshan. If you have enough merits, you can exchange them for them.

Compared to those flying zombies that have been "tamed", the only advantage of this flying zombie in front of him is his talent in earth movement.

If it didn't have this talent, why would Ding Hai insist on cultivating it?

Is it just because the stench of corpses on it is so unpleasant to the eyes?

The flying zombie, with its body charred and twitching constantly, became more and more anxious and violent.

Unfortunately, no matter how it struggles, it is useless.

If a person like Shi Jian who possessed a thunder spirit body turned into a zombie after death, he might not be afraid of ordinary thunder and lightning. However, as a zombie with outstanding earth-based talent, he did not have this ability.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the flying zombie fell to the ground, Ding Hai walked forward and reached into the major acupoints of the flying zombie, replenishing some lightning and re-strengthening the restrictions in its body.

"Old Ding, I remember that Maoshan's method of refining zombies doesn't seem to be like this, right?" Zhang Zhiwei had been holding these words in his mind for a long time.

He knew that Ding Hai was planning to refine the flying zombie into a puppet, but as knowledgeable as he was, he had never seen Ding Hai's method of training a corpse.

For a normal cultivator to train with corpses, the first step is to wipe out the zombie's consciousness, and then take the zombie to various evil places.

Use secret methods to drive the zombies to slowly absorb the resentful and evil energy of the evil land, slowly advancing the zombies' progress in the Tao.

When more extreme monks practice corpse training, apart from the difference in the food used to feed the zombies, where the resentful evil spirit is replaced with human blood, there is basically no difference in anything else.

But Ding Hai is training corpses, so it would be fine if he didn't erase the consciousness inside the zombies.

It’s okay to use thunder to help the zombies train their bodies in the name of punishment, so as to help the zombies build a stronger foundation.

Are you raising zombies?
I'm not as meticulous as you are in taking care of my pets.

"The corpse training techniques in the Maoshan Sutra Library were all confiscated by the outer Maoshan from the wild Maoshan, although there have always been people interested in bringing forth new ideas over the generations.

But no matter how you change it, it will not deviate from its essence. It is difficult to bring out the best potential of a zombie, and it will instead erode the zombie's inherent talents."

As the orthodox Lingbao sect, Maoshan did not originally have the tradition of corpse training.

But we can’t stop the wild Maoshan people who like to practice corpse training under the name of Maoshan.

For those no Mao who live in the dark side of the spiritual world, training corpses is a great idea.

Not only are the raw materials everywhere, but even the feed for feeding zombies can be found everywhere if you are ruthless enough.

Moreover, zombies are immortal and can live for three generations, even if the person dies, the corpse remains.

It is much more affordable than fragile magic weapons such as talismans and magic tools.

They were so excited about the corpse training that when Maoshan was clearing out the evil wild Maos, they were so confused when they confiscated their houses.

"My Date with a Zombie", "Twenty Ways to Maintain a Zombie", "Two or Three Things about Making a Zombie Pregnant".
There are secret manuals on corpse training, which together account for half of the many Ye Mao inheritances.

The other half likes to raise ghosts. The reason why Ye Mao likes to raise ghosts is the same as why they like to raise zombies.

After explaining to Zhang Zhiwei, Ding Hai looked at the small Taotie in his hand and said, "Let it devour the remaining life force of this big insect.

The gap between its soul and its body is too big. If it doesn't replenish its life force, it will fall into a deep sleep in another ten years or it will surely die."

Ding Hai and Zhang Zhiwei are fully aware of the problems with Xiao Taotie.

Times have changed. The little Taotie, which had no chance to grow up, has a soul that is too weak to support its powerful body.

It may feel great for a pony to drive a big cart, but pulling a big cart will cost the pony its life.

Therefore, in the years before meeting Ding Hai and Zhang Zhiwei, little Taotie spent most of his time in sleep.

Occasionally it would wake up, eat something to satisfy its stomach, and then fall asleep again.

Except for the days when it followed its uncle around, the period when Zhang Zhiwei subdued it with tyrannical force was the longest time it had been awake so far.

“Oh, right, after it has swallowed up the vital energy in Huo’s immortal worm’s body, let it scrape the outer worm valley layer by layer.

There are a lot of extremely poisonous treasures in the Worm Valley. We don't play with poison, so there's no use for us picking them, so it's a good bargain for us."

"What do you want it to do now?" Little Taotie didn't even need to mutter to himself, Zhang Zhiwei could see that Ding Hai was going to treat his pet as a beast again.

"This is the burial site chosen by King Xian, a local native of southern Yunnan during the Western Han Dynasty. In addition to various spiritual materials and precious medicines naturally grown in nature, there are also countless gold, silver and jewelry."

"Are you short of money?" Zhang Zhiwei was puzzled.

It can’t be said that worldly property is completely useless to cultivators at their level, but it is also very little. What does Ding Hai need so much money for?
“No, but I have a junior fellow apprentice who is mediocre and may only become a Yin God in this lifetime.

He can't live forever, but I want to ensure that he enjoys wealth and prosperity for the rest of his life." Ding Hai frankly explained the reason.
