Chapter 228: Going into the Forest Together
Tian Lin thought differently. Where would he get so much money to buy zombies?
After thinking about it, Tian Lin took the initiative to invite the brother and sister:
"The mass grave forest next to Huilong Village must be filled with zombies. Maybe we can think of a way to catch a few zombies from the mass grave forest."

Zhou Jin hesitated, and his sister simply laughed and said, "Why take the risk yourself when you can solve the problem with money?"

This is a good point, but the bad thing is that Tian Lin’s problem is that he lacks money.

Zhou Mengjiao added: "If Junior Brother Tian is short of money, I can buy you a zombie."

Tian Lin saw that she had a smile on her face and didn't seem to be insulting him.

Tian Lin smiled and said, "That's not necessary. If I can't hunt down a zombie, I can collect the spirit stones I have and sell some things to buy a low-quality zombie."

He felt that Zhou Mengjiao didn't like him, so he bowed to the brother and sister and simply flew towards Huilong Village on his sword.

Zhou Jin stood up and looked at his sister with dissatisfaction, saying, "I'm not forcing you to marry Junior Brother Tian, ​​so why are you saying such hurtful things?"

Zhou Mengjiao smiled and said, "This Tian is still in the initial stage of foundation building, but he refuses to learn the top-grade magical powers of our sect, and instead learns the top-grade magical powers of other sects that do not have auxiliary elixirs.

My brother doesn't think highly of such a person who is so ambitious, right? Otherwise, why wouldn't he have mentioned the idea of ​​marrying him to me?

I just don't want to see you wasting your time on him."

Zhou Jin thought of Ju Yunhai, and also of how Tian Lin was promoted from Class D to Class C so quickly, and of Elder Jin's attitude towards Tian Lin.

He stamped his feet and said, "If we can't be in-laws, we can still be friends. There's no need to speak ill of each other."

After he finished speaking, he also flew after Tian Lin on his sword.

Although he was heading in the same direction as Tian Lin, he didn't know Tian Lin's purpose.

When he arrived at the mass grave, the people of Tian Lin had already appeared at the entrance of Huilong Village.

The old man in the middle stage of foundation building in Huilong Village is named Ran, or rather, everyone in this village is named Ran.

The old man Ran who was in the middle stage of foundation building was not only the village chief, but also the patriarch of all the people with the same surname in the village.

Tian Lin did not conceal his movements when he entered the village, especially when Old Man Ran quickly came out of the house.

After recognizing Tian Lin, he frowned and said, "What brings you here, Brother Tian? You are not here to buy a mummy again, are you?"

A few hours ago, a "mummies rain" suddenly began to fall from the sky above Huilong Village, and the old man also saw the two mummies he had just sold.

He caught the two mummies and kept them in an ancient well.

He didn't know how Tian Lin and his partner lost the mummy after buying it, but he suspected that Tian Lin came to them to ask for the mummy.

"The elders in my sect have changed the mission. Now Tian doesn't want mummies anymore, he only wants walking corpses."

Old Man Ran was stunned, and then said:
"Then Fellow Daoist Tian has come to the wrong place. The ancient well in our Huilong Village cannot support zombies. If Fellow Daoist Tian wants to buy zombies, I know a few families who have zombies. Maybe I can ask them for you."

Tian Lin shook his head. He smiled and pointed in the direction of the mass grave forest, saying, "Aren't there ready-made zombies there? Instead of spending money to buy them, why not catch them yourself?

Daoyou Ran, are you interested in joining forces with me to catch zombies?"

How could Old Man Ran not be tempted when he got a zombie for free?
He asked Tian Lin, "What about Fellow Daoist Zhou? Are the three of us joining forces?"

Tian Lin said: "Fellow Daoist Ran, you have reached the middle stage of foundation building, plus me. The two of us should be enough."

"Fellow Daoist, don't joke around. If you want to catch zombies, you have to go deep into the mass grave forest. Once you enter the mass grave forest, even I can't stand the corpse poison inside. At that time, you have to exert your full strength, and it will be extremely difficult to catch zombies."

He complained in his heart that if catching zombies was so easy, he would have joined forces with several village chiefs from other villages to take action.

"Whether it will work or not, you have to try it to know. Are you afraid that I will harm you?"

Old man Ran frowned. He was not confident about the character of the disciples of the Wendao Sect.

At this time, the villagers were also awakened by the noise. They recognized Tian Lin, so they were not too wary of him.

When they heard that Tian Lin was not coming to retrieve the mummy but to make money from their clan leader, many people became greedy.

"Even a low-grade mummy is worth several hundred high-grade spirit stones. If we can catch one, it will be enough to sustain us for a year.

"Master, the children in our village need to buy magic tools, so they are short of money, right? This is a rare opportunity."

As soon as a woman spoke, others immediately followed suit.

Old Man Ran glanced at the village women coldly, but he himself knew that the village was very short of money.

After thinking for a while, Old Man Ran looked at Tian Lin and said, "Okay, I'll go with you so that you won't be bothered."

After he finished speaking, he went back to the house and took out a lantern and a piece of clothing.

Tian Lin couldn't help but frown when he saw that he had changed into mourning clothes.

He took the mourning clothes thrown by the old man and looked at him in confusion.

The old man said, "In the mass grave, some of the bodies buried are actually the elders of our village. If you put on this dress, these elders will not attack you easily."

Tian Lin put the clothes into the storage bag, but was not in a hurry to change them.

The old man didn't trust him, and he himself didn't quite trust the old man either.

At this time, several villagers changed their clothes and took lanterns, but the old man waved his hand and said, "It's the middle of the night, are you going to help cheer for us? Go back." These villagers were only at the Qi Refining stage and could not help much.

After the old man drove the villagers away, he and Tian Lin Yujian quickly arrived at the mass grave.

Not long after they landed, Zhou Jin, who was hiding in the bushes outside the mass grave forest, walked out:

"I said Junior Brother Tian would not do something without a purpose. It turns out that he has come up with a clever way to catch zombies and invited the experts from Huilong Village."

Tian Lin was also somewhat surprised by Zhou Jin's arrival. He happily returned the greeting to Zhou Jin and said:
"We have to ask the locals for help in catching the zombies. First, the locals know the local situation better. Second, Fellow Daoist Ran has been driving corpses for generations. No one in our Dao Sect can deal with these corpses as well as he can."

He praised Old Man Ran to show his goodwill, lest Zhou Jin suddenly appear and make the old man think that the two of them were plotting against him sincerely.

But Old Man Ran was at the middle stage of foundation building, and he believed that he would not be easily murdered by Tian Lin and Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin's appearance made Tian Lin less worried about being stabbed in the back by the old man.

After the three parties met, Tian Lin threw the mourning clothes in the storage bag to Zhou Jin and heard him say:

"If we want to catch zombies, we must go deep into the mass grave forest. But once we go deep into the mass grave forest, our strength will be suppressed.

Therefore, the best way is to find someone to lead the zombies from the depths to the periphery. Firstly, we will not be attacked by the zombies, and secondly, the zombies will lose the nourishment of corpse qi, and we will no longer be troubled by corpse qi. This will make it easier to subdue the zombies.

Third, let’s set up a formation on the periphery first, lure the zombies into the formation, and turn the disadvantage into an advantage—"

After he finished speaking, Old Man Ran looked at Tian Lin unkindly and said, "Then according to Fellow Daoist Tian's plan, who will go deep into the depths to lure out the zombies?"

Zhou Jin also looked at Tian Lin. He thought Tian Lin wanted to force Old Man Ran to fight with him.

But Tian Lin smiled and said, "I came up with the plan, so of course I will be the one to lead the zombies."

Old Man Ran looked at Tian Lin seriously, trying to see if he was speaking in a sarcastic way.

Zhou Jin also frowned at this time and said, "How about the three of us go in together to attract the zombies?"

Tian Lin is in the early stage of foundation building. There is no reason to let someone in the early stage of foundation building do such a risky thing.

But if he was asked to go in and attract the zombies, he was not willing to sacrifice himself for others.

After all, if it really doesn't work, he can spend spirit stones to buy zombies. There is no need to take risks for this.

"Brother, don't worry. I will definitely run away if I see the situation is not good. Besides, if you give me two more detoxification pills, everything will be fine."

Tian Lin looked at Old Man Ran and said, "I will go and lure out the zombies. Fellow Daoist Ran, you will support me from behind. As for my Senior Brother Zhou, he will be guarding the formation from the outside."

Old Man Ran thought about it and finally nodded.

Zhou Jin also nodded to Tian Lin. He knew that Tian Lin asked him to stay on the periphery, perhaps with the intention of guarding against old man Ran.

After all, if his two foundation-building monks died, wouldn’t they be just two zombies picked up for nothing?

The three of them decided on the agenda. Zhou Jin took out six detoxification pills and handed them to Tian Lin, and also gave the compass to Tian Lin.

Old Man Ran thought for a moment and took out a small box from his storage bag. He opened the box and saw a dozen shiny black maggots wriggling inside.

"If you are injured by a corpse, you can place maggots on the wound to help heal it."

Tian Lin accepted the things the two handed over, smiled and said, "Okay, let's wait until dawn before entering the mass grave forest."

Dawn soon broke, and the three of them had rested enough.

They entered the mass grave together and quickly chose an open space on the outskirts to stay.

"The zombies have a little bit of intelligence, but not enough to see through the formation. So when setting up the formation, just set up a killing formation."

Old Man Ran set up a few small formations based on the ones set up by Tian Lin and Zhou Jin.

Everything was ready. Zhou Jin stayed where he was while Tian Lin and Old Man Ran continued to move forward.

The two of them walked in front of each other, secretly sizing each other up.

The old man looked normal along the way, as if he was not affected by the corpse aura. This was exactly what Tian Lin had expected.

After all, the old man is a corpse driver, and he has the cultivation base of the middle stage of foundation building. If a little bit of corpse qi makes the other person uncomfortable and needs to take detoxification pills to detoxify, then why would he ask the old man for help?

But Tian Lin's expression remained calm throughout the journey, which was beyond the old man's expectations.

He couldn't help but ask Tian Lin, "Did you also learn the Taoist methods of the Corpse Driving Sect?"

Tian Lin shook his head and said, "My only connection with funeral studies is probably practicing the Sealing Earth Technique."

The old man was surprised and said, "Xiangxi Sect's Sealing Earth Art? That is a very difficult magical power to practice - but even if you practiced the Sealing Earth Art, you shouldn't be so fearless against corpse poison, right?"

Tian Lin didn't say anything, but just stuffed a detoxification pill from the storage bag into his mouth.

The old man couldn't bear it anymore at this time. Instead of taking the detoxification pill, he took an unknown pill and stuffed it into his nose.

"Go further and you will reach the depths of the mass grave forest. I will wait here for good news from you, fellow Taoist."
