Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 115: Western Zombies? Vampires?
The stream was polluted, but people still needed water to drink, so they had no choice but to ask Li Kunshan to find an underground water source and dig a well.

Buzz~!

Li Kunshan stood on a high place, overlooking the entire Shangshui Village. The twenty-four mountains on the compass corresponded to the twenty-four directions, constantly changing and adjusting.

Once the location was determined, the entire landform of Shangshui Village was laid out like a panoramic map. The direction of the groundwater flow also emerged.

"This is it."

Following the compass, Li Kunshan found the place where the underground water veins converged and ordered people to nail wooden stakes as marks.

"If you dig a well here, water will gush out within seven meters, and it will never dry up, regardless of winter or summer."

"Great."

The village chief looked happy and greeted the villagers who were ready.

"Everyone come here and prepare to dig a well!"

"Don't worry."

Li Kunshan stopped the village chief and spoke.

"I've already calculated that it's not advisable to break ground today. It won't be too late to dig tomorrow."

"That's it, that's good."

The village chief nodded, waved to the villagers, then turned to Li Kunshan and said with a smile.

"Then please rest in our village for one night, Master Li. You can return tomorrow after we finish digging the well."

"it is good."

Li Kunshan agreed directly without saying anything more.

After returning to the village, the village chief ordered people to clean up a small courtyard for Li Kunshan and his two brothers to stay temporarily.

After dinner, Qiu Sheng and Wencai went for a stroll in the village to see if there was anything fun, while Li Kunshan went straight back to his residence.

He sat cross-legged, but instead of refining his Qi and transforming his spirit into spirit as usual, he attached his mind to a puppet mouse.

The mouse lay under a handful of soil in the wild, with only its two small eyes exposed. In the dark night, it stared at the wooden stake marking the location of the well.

Zhizhizhi~!

Late at night, with a series of crackling sounds, a group of black shadows flew in from nowhere and finally landed on the wooden stakes. They turned out to be a group of vampire bats.

The bats used their hooked claws to grab the wooden stakes and flapped their fleshy wings upwards. These little creatures actually pulled the wooden stakes out of the ground bit by bit.

After the wooden stake was pulled out, the bats dragged it away, and then moved it to another location about a few dozen meters apart, kept flapping it, and then nailed it down again.

Afterwards, the bats even flew back to their original location and filled the small holes left by the wooden stakes with sand.

When everything was done, the bat flew away.

"Ah."

Li Kunshan couldn't help but smile as he saw everything through the puppet mouse.

Bats' IQ is not that high, so they are obviously controlled by someone. But unlike Li Kunshan's puppet talisman, it is an innate ability.

"Flying zombie?"

Controlling bats can be considered a spell. Among zombies, one has to cultivate to the level of flying zombie to cast spells.

"wrong."

Then he shook his head and said that if it was a flying zombie, it would no longer be afraid of the sunlight, which was obviously different from what was shown in the movie.

Li Kunshan guessed that this should be the special ability of Western zombies and has nothing to do with the level of the zombies.

"Hoo~!"

Everything developed just like the plot in a movie, but Li Kunshan just watched coldly and did not intervene. He breathed a sigh of relief and continued to refine his Qi and transform his spirit.

Silent all night.

The next morning, the village chief organized the villagers to start digging a well.

Since the distance was only a few dozen meters and no one noticed that the mark had been moved on the open flat ground.

The villagers worked very hard and had already dug seven or eight meters just after noon.

"Why haven't you come out of the water yet?"

Li Kunshan was certain that there would be water within seven meters, and now it was there, but the villagers didn't want to blame Li Kunshan for a difference of one or two meters, so they simply continued digging, thinking that maybe they would find water if they dug a little deeper.

In this way, they continued digging until four o'clock in the afternoon. They had already dug twelve or thirteen meters, which was far beyond the depth Li Kunshan had said. Not to mention a spring, not even mud was seen.

"Could it be that Taoist Li made a mistake? I need to go ask. You guys keep digging."

The village chief frowned and was about to ask Li Kunshan.

"I dug it! I dug it!"

Unexpectedly, after taking just two steps, I heard people shouting below.

"Great."

The village chief was filled with joy and hurried back, standing by and shouting to the people below.

"Is it out of the water?"

"No!"

The person below answered, his voice a little flustered.

"We found a body!"

"Corpse!"

The village chief's eyes widened instantly, and the others looked at each other in confusion, wondering how they had dug up a corpse.

A moment later, the body was brought up.

The eyes were bloodshot, and it looked like he had been buried for a long time, but his flesh hadn't completely decayed. There was a metal cross stuck in the chest, which was particularly eerie.

"Master Li, look at this..."

The village chief called Li Kunshan over and looked anxious.

"Instead of finding water, we dug up a corpse. What bad luck!"

"It shouldn't be."

Li Kunshan took a look at the corpse, then looked at the location where the well was dug. After pretending for a while, he suddenly asked loudly.

"Who moved the mark I placed?"

"What? The mark is passive."

The village chief and everyone else looked at each other in surprise. How could such a thing happen?

Immediately afterwards, Li Kunshan found the place where the mark was originally made, dug up the loose soil on it, and still could see the traces of the insertion.

"Look, this is the original position!"

"It really is."

The village chief and others came forward to check, and they were all shocked.

Then, he yelled angrily to the people around him.

"Which bastard messed with us and made us dig for half a day in vain?"

"Don't be angry, hurry up and dig again here. Water will surge up within seven meters."

"Yes, yes, okay."

The village chief nodded repeatedly and immediately instructed the villagers to dig a new well.

After the well-drilling issue was resolved, the village chief returned to the corpse and looked at Li Kunshan with some embarrassment.

"What should I do with this thing?"

"This body doesn't look right. Find a quiet, deserted yard to put it. I'll take care of it."

"Okay! Hurry up!"

The village chief nodded, and hurriedly urged people to carry the body away as if he was sending away the plague god.

Next, everyone got busy with their own work.

"Let's go. We'll do it tomorrow."

There was very little time left today, so we only dug three or four meters, and it was already completely dark.

One or two days won’t make a difference, so the villagers finish their work and leave.

Li Kunshan and his team naturally couldn't leave until they dug out the water.

After dinner in the evening, Qiu Sheng and Wencai disappeared.

Li Kunshan didn't care and went straight to the yard where the body was placed.

Originally, an old woman lived in this yard. She died of illness a year ago. The old woman had no relatives, so the villagers buried her body casually, and the yard became empty.

No one has lived there for a year, the ground is overgrown with weeds, and the walls of the house are a bit dilapidated.

The body was not carried into the house, but was just thrown in the yard and covered with a straw mat.

Li Kunshan closed the courtyard door, lifted the straw mat and looked around carefully.

That’s right, it’s the withered corpse in the movie.

However, although it is also a metal cross nailed to the chest, why is there no gem on it?

Li Kunshan frowned slightly. The ruby ​​in the movie looked quite valuable, and he had originally thought of stealing it secretly.

"never mind."

If there is no gem, then there is no gem. He is not after it anyway.

Hold the cross and gradually exert force.

With a sharp sound of friction against ribs, the cross was pulled out bit by bit.

Huh~!

The next moment, the dead body began to spew out foul air from its mouth and nose, and its chest and abdomen began to rise and fall slightly.

"hehe."

Without the suppression of the cross, the corpse really turned into a corpse. Li Kunshan was not worried at all, but smiled instead.

However, perhaps because of the depletion of energy, it is still a withered corpse. Not to mention harming others, it can hardly even get up.

"I'm a good person to the end."

Li Kunshan was well prepared. He took out a leather bag, took out a mouse, and stuffed it into the mouth of the dead body.

Click~!

Sensing a living creature, the withered corpse immediately bit it to death and then greedily sucked its blood.

As the blood nourished it, the corpse gradually began to become plump.

"eat more."

But how much blood can a mouse have?

Li Kunshan took out a few more mice and stuffed them into the mouth of the dead body.

As the rats sucked the fluids dry one by one, the dried corpse finally turned into a Westerner with pale skin, blond hair, red eyes, and fangs growing from the corners of his mouth.

"Roar~!"

The next moment, the Westerner opened his eyes and pounced on Li Kunshan.

Bang~!

Li Kunshan was prepared and raised his hand to strike him with a knife, knocking him to the ground again.

"I woke you up, but you tried to bite me. You're really a jerk."

"Roar~!"

The Western zombie didn't care about logic. He had just woken up and his mind was full of desire for blood, so he flew up again and pounced on Li Kunshan.

Li Kunshan temporarily put the cross away, took out a talisman to suppress corpses, raised his foot to temporarily hold the Western zombie, and then stuck the talisman on the Western zombie's forehead.

“Ugh! Roar!”

The fresh flesh was right in front of him, but he couldn't eat it. The Western zombie was annoyed. He grabbed the talisman paper on his forehead and tore it into pieces angrily.

“It doesn’t work.”

Just like in the movie, Western zombies are not afraid of Zhengyi talismans.

The Western zombie over there had broken free and pounced on him again, but Li Kunshan was not in a hurry. He took out the peach wood sword, Bagua mirror and other magic weapons and tried them on the Western zombie one by one.

"really."

The result is the same, it has no effect on Western zombies at all.

Gradually, Li Kunshan also figured out the trick.

Physical attacks are somewhat effective against Western zombies, but Western zombies have amazing recovery abilities, and it is difficult to kill them with physical attacks alone.

As for Taoist magic tools such as yellow talismans and peach wood swords, they do not have any buff bonuses.

"Is this still a zombie?"

Li Kunshan frowned as he kicked the Western zombie away again.

No matter how you look at it, it looks more like a vampire, right?

"Okay."

However, the test was almost over, and Li Kunshan's face immediately darkened.

Boom~!

With a loud thunder, several bolts of lightning fell from the sky, hitting the Western zombies.

The ferocious Western zombie was instantly chopped into a piece of charcoal.

[Kill the Vampire Viscount and obtain the Immortality (Purple) item! ]

The system prompt sounded, Li Kunshan just glanced at it and was speechless. Isn't it a vampire? Now the system has also authenticated it.

So the so-called Western zombies are vampires. But think about it, the Chinese people at that time didn’t know about vampires, they only knew about zombies, so they were naturally called Western zombies.

If a zombie outbreak occurs, they will probably be called Western zombies.

【Immortal (Purple): Eternal youth and ageless beauty! 】

When he saw the specific entries again, Li Kunshan frowned slightly.

Everlasting youth is indeed very tempting and fully deserves the purple entry.

However, this does not add anything to combat effectiveness.

As a "military fighter", Li Kunshan really doesn't feel much about the ability without combat bonus.

Besides, he has already cultivated immortality, so why should he be afraid of aging?

Finally, I sighed softly, feeling a little sorry for this purple entry.

However, tonight's gains were still good. He had already made it clear that the so-called Western zombies were vampires.

It has also been verified that although vampires are not afraid of Taoist talismans, thunder magic is still effective.

After all, lightning, like sunlight, is not a mere spell but a powerful force of nature.

In this way, you won’t have to worry too much when you encounter Western zombies, or vampires, in the future.

The reason why Li Kunshan took the initiative to resurrect this Western zombie was actually to conduct this experiment.

After all, there are still many so-called Western zombies in this world. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.

As for the risks of doing so, they are actually not that great.

Judging from the performance in the movie, this Western zombie is not that powerful except that he is not afraid of Taoist talismans. After all, he can't even overcome the sunlight.

Moreover, Li Kunshan had been on guard for a long time, that is, the cross.

If thunder magic has no effect on Western zombies, he can simply nail the cross back and the problem will be solved.

"So be it."

In short, the purpose of tonight has been achieved.

Li Kunshan took out a yellow talisman and started a fire to burn the remaining body of the vampire.

Then he walked out of the yard and returned to his residence to continue refining his Qi and transforming his spirit.

Another night of silence.

The next day, the villagers of Shangshui Village continued to dig wells.

“It’s out of the water!”

It was just around eight or nine o'clock, and the new location had just been dug six meters. First there was mud, and then water gurgled out like a spring.

“It’s really coming out of the water!”

"Great."

Everyone was excited and gathered around shouting loudly.

"As expected of Uncle Jiu's apprentice!"

The village chief nodded and couldn't help but exclaim in praise.

A good teacher produces good students, everything is just as Li Kunshan said.

After digging the well, Li Kunshan completed his business in Shangshui Village. Moreover, the Western zombies were also eliminated, which was a perfect success.

As agreed before, the village chief paid the money and apologized for delaying Li Kunshan for two days by paying an extra dollar.

Li Kunshan accepted it with a smile, and then gave the extra piece to Qiu Sheng and Wencai. Although they didn't help much, the two senior brothers had been following him all the time, so they did work hard.

"Master Li, you must eat and drink well."

At noon, the village chief hosted a banquet.

It is also a celebration for the water coming out of the well.

The table was filled with fine wine and delicious food. The village chief was particularly enthusiastic because he was impressed by Li Kunshan's abilities and wanted to make friends with him.

Li Kunshan was not polite either. After all, it would be a waste if he didn't eat it.

The meal lasted for several hours, and by the time we were full and satisfied, it was already dark.

"Master Li, why don't you rest for another night and go back early tomorrow morning."

"also."

As a Taoist priest, although I am not afraid of walking at night, it is not as easy as walking during the day.

There was no rush to return to Renjia Town, so the three brothers decided to stay one more night.

At night, Li Kunshan was refining his Qi and transforming his spirit as usual, but Qiu Sheng and Wencai had long disappeared.

Speaking of which, during those few nights in Shangshui Village, the two of them didn't know what fun they found, and they ran out impatiently as soon as it got dark.

Li Kunshan was too lazy to think too much and concentrated on practicing.

"Help!"

"Kunshan! Help!"

Late at night, Li Kunshan was practicing his spiritual cultivation when he was suddenly awakened by a loud noise.

Qiu Sheng and Wencai ran back in panic, shouting for help.
