Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 206 Trial 10
Calming himself, Wei Xi turned his gaze back to the corpse wandering in the moonlight.

These zombies were dressed neatly, and except for their stiff movements and slightly hideous faces, they looked no different from normal people.

At least that's what Wei Xi thought. The zombies were wandering towards the flames, perhaps attracted by the light or sensing the presence of the living.

But Wei Xi believed that his meat was as delicious as that of other cultivators. If these wandering corpses wanted to fill their stomachs, there was no need for them to go far away to seek food nearby. Looking at the pale faces of these wandering corpses, he had a vague guess in his mind.

Looking up at the moon, Wei Xi cursed inwardly, thinking that he was going to fight the moon in this life.

Wei Xi did not want to act rashly, nor did he plan to cross the tide of zombies to save the monk.

Being curious about the taste of these things doesn't mean you have to try them yourself.

However, Wei Xi needed to verify one thing. She took out a talisman and threw it hard outside the courtyard wall. Then she raised the crossbow and pulled the trigger. The arrow hit the talisman and a string of fireballs exploded in the air.

Those wandering corpses were like coyotes that smelled blood, baring their fangs and pouncing towards the place where the spiritual power was fluctuating.

Wei Xi narrowed his eyes, re-stringed the crossbow, aimed at the head of a wandering corpse and pulled the trigger.

The chosen zombie's head exploded, but its body was still able to move. It turned around and tried to find its attacker, but unfortunately failed.

What made Wei Xi feel relieved was that the zombies around him did not react, as if they could not see their own kind being shot in the head.

Wei Xi didn't stay any longer. She put away the crossbow, climbed down from the tree, and tiptoed back to the main house.

The two people in the main house finally felt relieved when they saw her return safely. They closed the door and kept an eye on the doors and windows.

"Everyone in this town has turned into wandering corpses. Moonlight must be the trigger. These corpses have pale complexions, move slowly, and are very sensitive to fluctuations in spiritual energy."

"After sensing spiritual power, the zombies' movements become swifter, and nearby zombies will attack. However, if you don't use spiritual power, you won't trigger a collective counterattack... However, you won't be able to kill them either..."

Wei Xi quickly shared the results of his observations, and what he said made the other two frown.

"No wonder our key can open the door," Wang Xin played with the key in his bag. "I'm afraid our key can open many doors in this town. This is a guarantee for challengers."

Qin Feng was a little worried about the other cultivators. "That cultivator thought he could hold on, but he didn't expect that the more he used his spiritual power, the worse the situation became... If this continues, will the entire army be wiped out?"

"...We'll know tomorrow morning." Wei Xi showed no sympathy for others. "Hurry up and get some rest. Who knows what monsters might be waiting for you tomorrow!"

Wang Xin simply asked Wei Xi to go and rest. After all, he was already awake and no longer sleepy, so it would be better to let the brains of the team have a good rest.

Wei Xi was tired after a whole day of tossing and turning. The zombies outside posed no threat at the moment, so he slept until dawn.

The next morning, the three pitiful people had dry food with cold water and decided to check out the situation in the town and find out the requirements of the trial as soon as possible.

The requirements of the trial field are the conditions for passing the trial. Now that the fake elder is untrustworthy, I have to spend the effort to find him in the town myself. Otherwise, if I delay any longer, who knows what the fake elder's intentions are?

After the three of them left the courtyard, the key in Wei Xi's hand disappeared.

"What does this mean?" Qin Feng was completely nervous, the veins popping out of his grip on Gao Han's hand. "Everyone only gets one chance," Wei Xi said with a wry smile. "The trial field has quite a few rules."

Wang Xin nodded in agreement and watched the keys in his hand carefully, fearing that he would have nowhere to go tonight.

"Don't worry," Wei Xi comforted him clumsily, "Even if you can't use your spiritual power for a while, you still have your brain and strength. Don't rely too much on spiritual power!"

Qin Feng was anxious. "The risks of the Zhenhai Sect's trial field are far greater than described. I'm afraid there will be more and more accidents as time goes on. Now that our spiritual power is restricted, a huge burden is placed on you. How can I feel at ease?"

"If anything unexpected happens, it will still be handled within the Trial Field. Since the Trial Field restricts cultivation, I think some troubles can be solved without requiring a high level of cultivation."

"Don't be fooled into thinking that you can't live without spiritual power. Believe in yourself more!" Wei Xi pointed at his head and comforted the uneasy Qin Feng.

Wei Xi didn't actually finish her words: Based on the known clues, it can be speculated that at present only she and the disciple from Tiandi Sect can still use spiritual power, and the rest of the cultivators have been suppressed.

Qin Feng took a deep breath. She knew Wei Xi had a point: because her spiritual power was restricted, she had become distracted and fallen into the Trial Field's trap. She should calm down and find out the Trial Field's requirements as soon as possible.

As they were talking, the three of them entered the main road of the town.

After knowing that the entire town is fake, you can see that the so-called "people" have many flaws.

For example, at the hour of Mao, all the townspeople spontaneously wandered along the town's only main street. Among them, a man's head "disappeared," and the "people" around him seemed invisible...

As soon as Wei Xi stepped onto the street, she felt that she was being watched. She pretended to be unaware, found the right moment, and dived into the sea of people.

Wei Xi felt a rare nausea when she thought about the enthusiastic performance of these "people" last night. But these people were not easy to fool. From near to far, they turned their heads towards Wei Xi, staring at her with eyes of different shapes.

"Oh no!" Wang Xin shouted at the sight, "Junior sister! These things are more difficult to deal with than yesterday! Retreat quickly!"

As they were talking, the King of Qin and his companion were surrounded by a large number of "people", successfully realizing their bad idea that happiness is better shared with others than to be enjoyed alone.

As a cultivator, it was inevitable that she would want to use fireballs to attack the monsters in this situation. However, Wei Xi controlled her instinct - she had experimented with it yesterday and found that these things would not die at all.

Wei Xi had no doubt that if he used even a little bit of his spiritual power, he would be torn to pieces in the street!
Sweat had already soaked Wei Xi's back as she pondered a way out. The situation had taken a sharp turn for the worse today. Perhaps these things had dealt with the cultivators from last night, or perhaps the restrictions on these things in the trial field had been gradually reduced.

In this case, can Wei Xi think of a way out in a different direction? These "people" are simply there to stop them. Even though they are now being corrupted by monsters and are acting contrary to their original intentions, their function has not changed.

That is to stop the monks who come for the trial according to the pre-planned plan.

The key that always surrounds these "people" is the reminder of identity.

In that case, Wei Xi pursed his lips and decided to just turn himself into one of their kind!
Wei Xi put the green mask from the Qiankun bag on his face with lightning speed, leaving only his round chin exposed.

The moment the mask covered their faces, the faces of the "people" surrounding Wei Xi began to return to normal, and resentment was replaced by peaceful smiles. Then these "people" dispersed and continued to do what they were doing.
