Chapter 349: Zombie
Chapter 349: Zombie
In the next two days, Master Tingyu only tried to meditate twice.
But after two failed attempts at absorbing spiritual energy, he finally gave up trying.
What does it matter if a person has no ambition to cultivate immortality, even if he was a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator?
In hunger, fatigue and exhaustion, one is just waiting for death.
Before the third day arrived, Master Tingyu's physical condition began to decline sharply. He was no different from a real mortal old man and had already collapsed from exhaustion.
On the other hand, Tian Lin had secretly eaten several kinds of poisonous fruits along the way. Although he still hadn't condensed his cultivation, his physical condition had not deteriorated seriously, and there was even some spiritual energy hidden in the first meridian.
Fortunately, Tian Lin did not abandon Master Tingyu, and fortunately, the demoted supervisor helped.
In short, Master Tingyu survived until the fourth day and received the promise of food from the second in command.
The so-called meat reward was just a thumb-sized piece of dog meat.
This dog meat has a rotten smell. I don’t know where it came from or how long it has been stored.
The good news is that the meat is free of maggots. But at this moment, even if there were maggots, these extremely hungry people probably wouldn't mind.
Master Tingyu, who had at least been a Nascent Soul expert, swallowed the meat in just two or three bites.
Tian Lin, on the other hand, had no idea about the meat.
He took the thumb-sized piece of meat and exchanged it for a small bag of barley.
Although this small bag of barley may not seem like a lot, it can often save lives in a disaster like this.
Fortunately, in addition to the little meat given to Tian Lin and Master Tingyu, the second in command also prepared some barley for them.
Although Master Tingyu didn't eat his fill, he didn't starve to death.
"There is a village just ahead. Let's walk for another afternoon and then rest in the village first."
After listening to the report from the Fourth Master, the official said something to Tian Lin and Master Tingyu who were eating barley.
Master Tingyu stuffed the grains he was chewing slowly in his hand into his mouth again and again. Before the team officially set off, he ate all the food.
Tian Lin was different. Apart from not eating the small bag of barley that he got in exchange for the meat, he also ate only a few grains of barley in the small bowl that he was rewarded with.
He was not hungry at all, and had no appetite for eating corn or meat.
The reason why I ate so few was that I didn’t want to arouse suspicion;
"You little brat, if you keep the food and don't eat it, it will probably attract others to covet it later."
In this Hwahwarang team, there are very few people who address others by their names.
First of all, this team is actually a group of people gathered together by Langguan and the second in command, along with a few cultivators.
Except for a few acquaintances of Langguan, this group of people did not know each other, so they did not know each other's origins and names.
Secondly, there are too many evil spirits in the mountains, and revealing one's name and birthday would lead to the risk of being visited and killed by the evil spirits, so everyone only uses code names.
Finally, there is absolutely no need to remember real names.
No one present could predict when someone would die, so what was the point of remembering their name?
"You have a point, but if you have enough food, you won't be worried."
"A man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure! If others knew that I had no food, they would not plot against me. But if they knew that you still had hidden food, they might plot against you all the time."
Master Tingyu only said this and didn't mention anything else.
The group of people, each carrying their own bag, once again traveled through the mountains. When the sun set and the mountains, rivers and fields were all dyed in black, this beggar-like group finally saw the village that Langguan had mentioned.
The vast fields outside the village had long been abandoned. These fertile fields could have grown heavy ears of rice.
However, because of the calamity sent down from heaven upon Da Qi, these fertile fields not only could not grow any crops, not even a single weed could grow.
A few mortals knelt on the edge of the field, holding the soil and crying, but no one knew what they were crying for.
The official was in the front and turned around and urged loudly: "Follow closely, and speed up your pace. Look around and see if there is anything to eat in the village!"
The crowd was not very interested in finding food because past experience had told them.
I don’t know how many Hwahwarang have visited this abandoned village. How could they leave anything for them?
But even though they were not in high spirits, everyone still forced themselves to be alert, firstly to try their luck, and secondly to find a good room to rest for the night.
Several mortals helped the man pulling the cart to pull the cart into the village, while the rest of the people swarmed towards the four directions of the village.
Tian Lin and Master Tingyu did the same. They picked a farmer's family that looked relatively well-off and walked directly into the open fence.
When the door opened, the first thing they saw was a dead body hanging from the beam.
Under the dead body, there were some white bones without clothes covering the body.
"I'm afraid this place is uninhabitable."
Although Master Tingyu has lost his cultivation, his experience is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people.
He only took a glance and said to Tian Lin: "Look at the bones on the ground. It seems that people have been dead here for a long time. Otherwise, they wouldn't be dried up and only bones would be left.
If it were just bones, it would be fine. But the scary thing is that the female corpse on the beam looks so lifelike. If she didn't just die, then it proves that she has become a walking zombie!"
Walking zombies are terrifying creatures that only Jindan cultivators can deal with.
Not to mention that Tian Lin's cultivation is now completely suppressed, even if he was in his prime, he would have no choice but to run away when he saw a walking zombie.
"run!"
Tian Lin did not make as many analyses as Master Tingyu. He just spoke briefly and turned away.
When the two of them left the small courtyard, they found that there were many people running out of the house like them.
In the midst of the chaos, Huahua Doctor heard the official's anxious voice shouting, "Don't go into the house. Take your carts and bags and leave the village!"
But screams finally sounded at the entrance of a village, and the official shouted, "We don't need the carts anymore, everyone run!"
The official shouted, and the second in command, together with the other five monks, began to pull, drag, kick and shoo the villagers away.
But some people were reluctant to part with the things on the cart.
Just as this man went to the cart to get something, a strange man jumped out of a house.
Although the Hwahwarangs did not know each other's names, they could recognize each other's faces after spending so much time together.
What else could this man who suddenly appeared be but a walking zombie?
The mortal who ran to the cart to get something was torn to pieces in an instant!
It was also thanks to these mortals who used their flesh to block a few zombies, which gave the rest of the people time to escape.
"I should have noticed it earlier! There is a formation carved outside the village. Once you step into the room, the zombies inside will be summoned."
Master Tingyu fell to the ground while speaking these words.
A dozen mortals ran past him, not to mention trying to help him in a hurry. Some even stepped on his body to escape in order to get closer or to use him as a cover.
Master Tingyu cried out in pain, turned his head and looked at the zombies approaching in the distance, his face changed drastically.
I am a powerful Yuanying master. Am I really going to die in such an unclear way?
