Chapter 238 Jade Burial
Chapter 238 Jade Burial
Lin Fan was pulled down by Mao Jiang, who desperately grabbed Lan Hanyu from his hand and then threw Lin Fan away violently by his ankle.
boom!
Lin Fan was thrown against the wall, feeling a crack inside his body, as if something had broken.
The human ladder beneath Mao Jiang's body collapsed, and it landed steadily on the ground, embracing Lan Hanyu.
But apart from him, all the other Gu corpses seemed to have turned back into corpses, lying haphazardly on the ground, motionless.
Mao Jiang, holding Lan Hanyu in his arms, rushed off in one direction without hesitation.
Lin Fan watched the other person leave, finally letting out a sigh of relief. Had he succeeded?
I didn't expect that hairy zombie could act independently, otherwise we could have wiped it out completely.
Lin Fan spat out the warm-tasting jade from his mouth.
Why does this jade feel warm? Oh, no, it's been in my mouth the whole time, so it must be warm.
With this in mind, Lin Fan had a bold idea.
Since this jade is the key to controlling these zombies, if I find the trick, wouldn't I be able to control them and lead them into Crab Mountain?
As for how to activate this "magic weapon," Lin Fan has already mastered it.
He gathered a wisp of sword energy and channeled it into the jade through his finger.
wait.
After a while.
"Why is there no reaction? This isn't right!"
Lin Fan was extremely disappointed.
He had been sitting against the wall for quite a while, and his previously injured spine had healed somewhat, so he slowly stood up.
"Does this thing require something else to be used in conjunction with it? A mantra or a bloodline?"
Lin Fan even smeared some of his own blood on it, but there was no reaction. He just felt the Soul-Suppressing Pearl inside his body throbbing incessantly.
He jolted awake and spat out the Soul-Suppressing Pearl.
Sure enough, the Soul-Suppressing Pearl heated up and rolled closer to the jade stone on its own.
Will it absorb this jade stone in the same way it absorbed that black stone?
Lin Fan couldn't help but feel excited.
When the Soul-Suppressing Pearl and the jade touched, a blue light flashed on the jade. This blue light was attracted by the Soul-Suppressing Pearl and was gradually drawn towards it.
Once the blue light was completely absorbed, the overheated Soul-Suppressing Pearl calmed down.
"Ugh, it's not being absorbed? I can't eat it?"
The result was that the luster of the jade was somewhat diminished, and a blue ring appeared around the Soul-Suppressing Bead.
At this point, Lin Fan's heart had already turned cold.
Sure enough, after Lin Fan examined the new Soul-Suppressing Pearl again, there were no changes.
"Never mind, it's good enough that she can pass through the Path of Fate safely. I'll keep this jade for her for now."
"Brother Fan, it's you!"
On the other side of the passage, Chen Ergou came over with a thumbs-up, followed by Niu Dadan.
"Brother Fan, how did you do that? You wiped out so many Gu corpses in one go! They can't even get up."
As Chen Ergou spoke, he noticed the jade in Lin Fan's hand. "Brother Fan, isn't that a jade pendant you're holding? Where did it come from?"
After saying that, he rubbed his hands together like a fly.
Lin Fan remembered that Chen Ergou knew about the "Death Furnace" before, so perhaps he knew how to use this jade pendant. He asked, "Ergou, do you recognize this? What kind of treasure is this?"
"Yes, it is indeed a treasure. Its quality is definitely worth a lot of money."
Lin Fan looked at him, hoping he would continue, but Chen Ergou remained silent after he finished speaking.
"Gone?"
Chen Ergou asked doubtfully, "Yeah, what else? Isn't this the kind of thing that rich people put in their mouths after they die? Grave robbers sometimes have these kinds of things when they sell their stolen goods. Hey, Brother Fan, if you ask me, this thing might be unlucky. It's better to get rid of it as soon as possible."
what!
Lin Fan's lips twitched. What the heck? Something a dead person held in their mouth? He'd just put it in his mouth too! No wonder Lan Hanyu looked so strange when she had it in her mouth. Yeah, it's really weird for a living person to have something in their mouth!
He wiped the drool off and fed it to the living porcelain bottle.
Living porcelain bottle: ...
"That's settled then, let's go."
Lin Fan pointed in a direction and led the way.
"Brother Fan, are you sure this is the right place?"
"I don't know which side is Crab Mountain."
Chen Ergou: "So we're just going to wander around aimlessly? Didn't you say there's a really tough zombie? What if we scare it away and then run into it again?"
Lin Fan shook his head. "I'm not just wandering around aimlessly. I know where Miss Sun is. Whether it's Crab Mountain or not, we won't have come for nothing."
Upon hearing this, Niu Dadan immediately bowed deeply, saying, "Brother Fan, your kindness is immense, and I have no way to repay it. I will be at your service for the rest of my life."
In fact, the accounts between Lin Fan and Niu Dadan and his wife had long been settled, but Lin Fan knew that Niu Dadan was very anxious at the moment, so he desperately clung to him as a lifeline.
Niu Dadan also looked disheveled at this moment.
He was still in that half-human, half-bull form, seemingly unable to return to his original state. One wing was broken, one leg was lame, and one arm was missing. The wound in his chest was so deep that bone was visible; if it weren't for Dr. Lei's effective hemostatic ointment, he would have bled to death by now.
If it weren't for his superhuman vitality, an ordinary person wouldn't be able to stay so lively and energetic even if they didn't die.
Lin Fan glanced at him with a sigh, said nothing, and quickly walked towards the direction he sensed.
As long as there is a general direction to guide you, a life path with many forks is not a big deal.
Lin Fan also picked up all the fluorescent stones on the ground and threw one at intervals along the way, which could be used for both lighting and marking.
Moreover, they quickly left the underground passageway.
They climbed out of a hole in the ground, a damp breeze blowing on them.
It was around noon, but the surroundings were shrouded in fog, and the sun and anything in the distance could not be seen.
Looking around, you can vaguely see water on one side and mountains on the other.
“It would be great to have a local guide,” Lin Fan said, frowning. “Speaking of which, why didn’t that knight at the gate come?”
Duan Ye's subordinate is a local, so he definitely knows more about this place than Lin Fan and his group.
Chen Ergou shrugged. "He said he wouldn't dare come in."
Lin Fan waved his hand, but the thick fog in front of him didn't dissipate at all. There was also bad news: his night vision was ineffective against fog.
The fog was like a thick curtain, layer upon layer, blocking their view.
Ah, ah, roar...
A chilling yet familiar scream suddenly appeared.
"Ah! Brother Fan, save me! Ahh, don't bite me! Ahh! Brother Fan, quick, quick..."
Lin Fan was startled. Oh no, these persistent walking corpses had actually chased after him.
