This humble Taoist priest, Qianhe, begins his quest for immortality by slaying demons and monsters.

Chapter 84: Straight into the Corpse Cave, Hundreds of Zombies

"Fellow disciple!"

Zhong Bai laughed heartily first and stretched out his fist in front of him. Seeing this, Si Mu, Lin Fengjiao, and Shi Jian also stretched out their fists. In the void, the four fists collided, witnessing the future!

"Ouch, Junior Brother Qianhe, your fists are really hard. Just by exchanging punches with Junior Brother Qianhe, I almost broke my bones."

"Hahaha, that's for sure! Look at that bronze-armored corpse on the ground. Junior Brother Qianhe smashed it to pieces with his bare hands. Junior Brother Simu said his hand was broken, and he wasn't exaggerating!"

Shi Jian joked, and at that moment, he truly felt a sense of ease and comfort.

Tsk, what a miserable life M must have lived before, dressed like that.

Joking aside, the bronze-armored corpse hasn't been dealt with yet. Its spine was only broken by Zhong Bai's hammer; it's not dead yet...

Zhong Bai approached the bronze-armored corpse. Without a word, he slowly gathered lightning in his hand until it transformed into a lightning spike, which accurately struck the bronze-armored corpse's face. In an instant, the lightning blasted the bronze-armored corpse's head to pieces.

After doing all this, the matter did not end there. The four of them sat down cross-legged and closed their eyes to rest. This bronze-armored corpse was just one of the corpses in the Corpse Cave. They would have to go down and see what the situation was like in the Corpse Cave the next day.

At noon the next day, Zhong Bai deliberately chose this time to go to the Corpse Cave to investigate the situation. The reason was simple: at this time, the yang energy in the world was the strongest. Even though the zombies could move normally in the cave without light, it was still much safer than investigating at night.

Standing a kilometer away from the Corpse Cave, Shi Jian behind Zhong Bai said earnestly, "Junior Brother Qianhe, we brothers all know that your supernatural abilities are formidable. However, once we reach the cave, we must still be cautious. If things get too dangerous, we can leave this place and report the situation to the sect so that Maoshan can send a Foundation Establishment elder to handle it. In short, Junior Brother Qianhe, please don't blame me for being so talkative, but your safety is always of paramount importance!"

“Yes, Junior Brother Qianhe, what Senior Brother said is also what Senior Brother Lin and I wanted to remind you. The three of us also wanted to go into the cave with you to investigate the situation, but we are aware of our own limitations. If the situation in the cave is not good, the three of us going down will only cause trouble for you.”

In short, be extremely careful!

Despite his three senior brothers' concerns, Zhong Bai maintained a relaxed and carefree smile.

"Don't worry, my three senior brothers. I am not a reckless person and will definitely return safely."

With that, Zhong Bai took a deep breath and instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning, disappearing from the spot.

............................................................

Inside the Corpse Cave, when Zhong Bai arrived at the entrance, he saw waves of corpse energy emanating from it. Frowning slightly, Zhong Bai keenly sensed that this corpse energy was definitely not something that a few zombies could possess.

"Let's go into the cave and see what's going on before we decide..."

In a flash, Zhong Bai leaped down from the cave entrance.

With a thud, the moment Zhong Bai landed, he discovered that there was a corpse beneath his feet.

As the corpse trembled, Zhong Bai felt somewhat embarrassed. Had he stepped on a white-haired zombie the moment he landed?
However, the hairy zombie posed no threat to Zhong Bai. Looking around, the light was dim. From Zhong Bai's current perspective, there were no traces of zombies around, except for the hairy zombie under his feet and a few sluggish ones staring at him.

Zhong Bai didn't want to waste time with the few zombies at the cave entrance. The moment his blood and qi surged, a terrifying burning sensation completely ignited the zombies, leaving them no chance to resist...

After dealing with the few zombies at the cave entrance, Zhong Bai looked solemnly into the depths of the cave. The aura of death emanating from the cave entrance was absolutely terrifying. Zhong Bai didn't know the exact location or number of zombies in the cave. With a bit of trepidation, Zhong Bai conjured a bolt of lightning in his palm to act as a beam of light as he walked into the depths of the cave.

The entrance to the cave is not very wide, but once inside, the cave is quite spacious. The cave hall is ten meters high and five or six meters wide, and it looks like a naturally formed cave.

After walking a few hundred meters into the cave, the scene suddenly changed. Ahead, a much wider cavern appeared, which Zhong Bai could tell was at least tens of meters high and thousands of square meters in size. Of course, this was not the most terrifying thing. The key was that hundreds of zombies in the cavern turned around and looked at Zhong Bai.

"Hiss, hundreds of zombies, half of them are already at the hopping zombie stage, and half are close to it. This is really... a great place to farm exorcism points!"

Good news, hundreds of zombies! Another piece of good news: no bronze-armored zombies! Isn't this a pure source of demon-slaying points?

Zhong Bai swallowed hard. Since there was no bronze-armored corpse to deal with, there was no need to go out and inform Lin Fengjiao and Shi Jian about the situation in the cave. It would be better to handle it himself.

Thinking of this, Zhong Bai was extremely excited. Without hesitation, the lightning in his palm transformed into several lightning spikes, which accompanied Zhong Bai's palm strike. In an instant, the lightning spikes pierced through the bodies of the zombies closest to Zhong Bai. In a flash, the black zombies that were close to jumping zombies were burned to death by the lightning. As for the jumping zombies, although they were lucky enough to survive when hit by the lightning spikes, most of their corpse energy was leaked out instantly, which can be considered a serious injury from the lightning.

This was just the beginning. When Zhong Bai began his hunt, the hundreds of zombies in the cave couldn't just stand there and wait to die. They roared and pounced on Zhong Bai at lightning speed.

About a hundred meters outside the cave, Lin Fengjiao and the others were still not entirely at ease, so they went to the cave entrance to meet Zhong Bai. However, as soon as they arrived, they heard the roars of corpses coming from inside the cave. Instantly, Shi Jian, as the senior brother, turned pale.

"Something's wrong. The commotion coming from this Corpse Cave is enough to show that there are more than a hundred zombies inside. Junior Brother Qianhe has already started fighting with these zombies!"

The moment Shi Jian finished speaking, Si Mu made his decision.

"No, this whole thing was caused by me, I absolutely cannot let Junior Brother Qianhe be trapped in this cave alone!"

As he spoke, Si Mu took out three sticks of incense from his pocket and began to invoke the gods. As Si Mu silently chanted, his aura, which was originally at the late stage of the third level of Qi Refining, suddenly surged. Without hesitation, Si Mu gripped the bronze sword and headed into the cave.

"Junior Brother Four Eyes, your senior brother will go with you!"

After Shi Jian finished speaking, he also used all his skills, and bursts of lightning surged out, following closely behind the backs of the four people. Lin Fengjiao, holding a peach wood sword, did not say much, but followed closely behind the two.

Inside the cave, Zhong Bai felt incredibly refreshed. His internal energy surged and formed a protective aura. With the Golden Light Divine Mantra protecting him, he could stand up to these zombies, whose highest peaks were no more than jumping zombies, and they couldn't do anything to him. However, the lightning constantly surging from Zhong Bai's palms was deadly to these zombies!

A single bolt of lightning could blast a jumping zombie into pieces in an instant.

How can the word "fierce" even begin to describe such a situation?

Just as Zhong Bai was enjoying his killing spree, three figures suddenly rushed into the cave from outside. They were none other than Si Mu, Shi Jian, and Lin Fengjiao.

Seeing that there were indeed so many zombies in the cave, Si Mu, unable to speak after praying to the gods, could only silently step forward and swipe his sword to kill a black zombie, while Shi Jian appeared to be even more unrestrained and bold.

With a loud bang, the Lightning Thunder Fist sent a zombie in the early stage of the Jumping Zombie realm to hell. Then, looking at Zhong Bai, whose body was surging with blood and qi, he said, "Junior Brother Qianhe, we still can't watch you venture into the Dragon Pool alone. We brothers must work together. This is a promise we made just yesterday!"

Zhong Bai was a little stunned. No... his demon-slaying point!
Hearing Shi Jian's righteous words, Zhong Bai could only smile bitterly.

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother Four Eyes, Senior Brother Lin, actually, we can handle these zombie junior brothers."

"But since my three senior brothers are here, let's wipe them all out together!"

Zhong Bai quickly came to terms with it. Let them come. There would be many more opportunities like this in the future. He couldn't keep eating all the food by himself, could he? Even if Simu and the others didn't have the Demon Extermination Panel and couldn't get Demon Extermination Points, Zhong Bai couldn't just kick them out, could he?

Zhong Bai, who could have easily and comfortably blasted away zombies, was now racing against time. If he didn't act quickly, he might not have many zombies left for himself.

Thunder roared forth as Zhong Bai flew straight into the horde of zombies. Lightning gathered in his palm, and with terrifying force, he unleashed it, aiming almost directly at the zombies' faces. Bang! Bang! Bang!
Anyone struck in the face by Zhong Bai's palm, whether a black zombie or a jumping zombie, would inevitably have their head explode. Even Shi Jian, a genius who also cultivated thunder magic, felt that such a scene was a bit too exaggerated.

"Um, why is Junior Brother Qianhe suddenly working so hard? Could it be that he's been moved by the camaraderie among us fellow disciples?"

Shi Jian didn't quite understand, but since Junior Brother Qianhe could rush forward regardless of everything, how could he, as the senior brother, continue to fight with the jumping zombie in front of him?

Without a word, Shi Jian followed suit, but he mostly targeted black zombies. Jumping zombies might not be very useful against Zhong Bai, but Shi Jian, as the most powerful cultivator, was only at the late stage of the fifth level of Qi Refining. This was a level he had reached only by desperately consuming pills.

Ordinary Qi Refining Level 5 cultivators are unable to deal with jumping zombies. Only Shi Jian, who cultivates thunder magic, can barely manage to exchange blows with jumping zombies.

The hundreds of zombies couldn't have lasted long under Zhong Bai's terrifying onslaught. If there were still copper-armored zombies in the cave, they might have been able to hold Zhong Bai back and then attack Lin Fengjiao and the other two. But now, the jumping zombies were being mercilessly killed by Zhong Bai, while the black zombies had fallen into the hands of Lin Fengjiao, Si Mushijian, and the other two.

In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the four of them cleared out all the hundreds of zombies in the cave. Among them, Zhong Bai killed almost all of the jumping zombies, and he even managed to snatch some of the black zombies in the end.

At the end, Lin Fengjiao felt her arms were a little sore. Looking at the dismembered limbs scattered all over the cave, it would be a lie to say that she wasn't shocked by her own courage. Sure enough, as long as there is a leader charging ahead, the underlings behind him are always happy!
After the effects of the Four Eyes Summoning Technique wore off, Four Eyes felt a bit weak. Seeing that Zhong Bai was alright, Four Eyes managed a weak smile and said, "Junior Brother Qianhe, it's good that you're alright. Even if we senior brothers can't help you deal with the jumping zombies, we can still handle some black zombies."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Bai wanted to cry but had no tears...
