Start building the foundation: What is the Southern Xinjiang Corpse Puppet?

The hole gave him a very ominous feeling, as if something horrible was sleeping inside.

I felt inexplicably uneasy, and even a little anxious.

Yuan Xiao frowned and seeing Feng Yun looked unhappy, he asked.

"Feng Yun, what did you notice?"

"Xiaoguai told me that he had a vague feeling that there was a terrifying being sleeping there."

Feng Yun closed his eyes after he finished speaking, but within half a breath, his expression suddenly changed.

A hint of bright red spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"It seems to wake up!" After saying this, he swallowed the pill handed to him by Yuan Xiao, then quickly sat cross-legged and meditated, absorbing the pill to heal his wounds.

"Brother Yuan, I think we should bypass this mountain of bones. There are corpses everywhere here, and there are still things alive. I don't think we can deal with them."

"Yeah, there's probably nothing here except bones, so let's go first."

The monks of the Corpse Puppet Clan did not want to take any risks. They had been dealing with corpses all year round. It could be said that as soon as they approached the mountain, they felt a depressing aura of death, which made them feel very uncomfortable.

"In that case, then..."

Yuan Xiao didn't intend to take any risks. After hearing what his tribesmen said, he nodded. Just as he was about to turn around and leave with his tribesmen, he heard a "crackling" sound behind him, like the friction of bones.

Everyone turned their heads and their expressions suddenly changed.

"Why are there so many skeletons?"

Just now it was a pile of scattered bones, but now those bones seemed to move, and they assembled themselves into white bones one by one. Some were in the shape of monsters, and some were in the shape of humans. The most shocking thing was that every skeleton here was at the Foundation Establishment stage, and they even saw a few skeletons with the strength of the Golden Core stage.

"No, get out of here quickly!"

Yuan Xiao raised his spiritual shield immediately, quickly retreated, and ran back with a grim expression.

The Corpse Puppet Clan monks followed Yuan Xiao in a panic, but after running for a while, they found that the white bones behind them were running much faster than them!

Luo Shan turned his head and saw densely packed skeletons following them, even those in the Jindan stage were about to catch up with them.

Yuan Xiao turned his head and looked back, cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead and his heart was beating violently. He gritted his teeth and finally took out a black bead from the storage bag. Spiritual power surged from his fingernails and he swung his hand back, and the black bead flew out of his hand and threw it towards the Jindan stage skeleton who was reaching out to grab one of the tribesmen.

"boom!"

Fire burst out from the explosion, and black smoke enveloped the Jindan stage skeleton. The disciple narrowly escaped from the skeleton's hand, his face pale, and he almost fell from mid-air.

"Thank you, Brother Yuan Xiao!"

After he came back to his senses, he thanked Yuan Xiao.

"Let's go! One lightning bead cannot cause a fatal attack to the Jindan stage. We must get rid of those Jindan stage skeletons."

"Hurry up, those skeletons are coming!"

The cultivators of the Corpse Puppet Clan shouted anxiously, but they were only in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and there were several Golden Core Stage skeletons behind them, so there was no way they could escape.

"You go first."

In this situation, it was impossible for Yuan Xiao to lead all his tribesmen to escape without leaving any one behind. He could only stay and hold back those skeletons to give his tribesmen a glimmer of hope.

"Brother Yuan Xiao!" Everyone's eyes were red:

"We'll stay and fight those ghosts with you!"

In this situation, Brother Yuan Xiao's selfless behavior obviously moved the people of the Corpse Puppet Tribe, and they all expressed their willingness to stay.

"Let's go!" Yuan Xiao's face darkened. In this situation, he was still thinking about living and dying together. It was simply stupid!

"I have a protective item on me that can protect me from the Jindan stage for half an incense stick of time. If you stay, I can't protect you."

"Brother Yuan Xiao..." The people of the Corpse Puppet Tribe didn't know whether they believed it or not. They looked at Yuan Xiao reluctantly, then quickened their speed to flee with a look of grief on their faces.

Yuan Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his gaze to the two Jindan stage skeletons that were flying towards him. There was a faint orchid-colored light flickering in the skeletons' eyes, their bones were as white as jade, and there were some scraps of cloth on their bodies. Judging from their figures, they should have been male monks when they were alive.

Yuan Xiao was willing to stay and was ready to sacrifice himself, but of course, he would not stand still and let the skeletons tear him to pieces.

Looking at the two skeletons in front of him, Yuan Xiao's face looked grim. One Jindan stage skeleton was enough to overwhelm him, not to mention that there were two of them blocking his way now. He was afraid that he would not be able to survive today.

He only has a third-level shield talisman on him, so I'm afraid he won't be able to hold out for long.

The Jindan stage skeletons did not give Yuan Xiao any chance to think, and launched an attack directly from the front and back. The black evil spirit covered the white bones, and the empty eye sockets were filled with red murderous spirit.

Yuan Xiao's pupils shrank. This attack from the evil spirit was obviously stronger than he expected. The shield talisman might not be able to hold out for many more breaths.

He was horrified in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged. He released his corpse puppet. Strange runes appeared on Yuan Xiao's palm, and then a drop of blood was absorbed into the corpse puppet's forehead.

After thinking about it, he forced out a few drops of blood again.

Seeing that the corpse puppet's strength had increased from the late stage of foundation building to the peak, Yuan Xiao saw the puppet not far away, gritted his teeth, and directly turned his spiritual power into a knife, cutting a cut on his wrist. Bright red liquid went towards the corpse puppet, and its originally pale skin turned bright red, and its gray pupils also had a faint blood color.

Yuan Xiao's face was extremely pale, but the current situation did not allow him to be indecisive.

"Go!" Yuan Xiao controlled the corpse puppet with his spiritual sense and struck out with a palm, quickly withdrawing from the protection range of the shield talisman, going in different directions, one east and one west.

After the two skeletons with Jindan stage cultivation attacked again, they looked at each other and then went in the direction of the original corpse puppet.

Yuan Xiao's face was extremely pale at this moment. Having lost most of his blood and spiritual power, he was getting slower and slower. Looking at the skeleton that was getting closer and closer, he gritted his teeth and a hint of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes.

Since he can't live, he must drag someone to be buried with him after his death.

Having made up his mind, Yuan Xiao no longer fled in a panic. He just stopped, a sneer on his face, and his Dantian in his body frantically compressed and absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy, staring at the skeleton that was getting closer and closer.

The approaching skeleton seemed to have sensed something and hesitated for a moment. After a pause, it launched another attack towards Yuan Xiao.

"Bang" When Yuan Xiao thought he was doomed, an exquisite coffin made of white jade collided with the attack from the skeleton, and the spiritual power compressed in Yuan Xiao's dantian also leaked a little due to the aftermath of the collision.

"Puff——" Blood flowed from the corner of Yuan Xiao's mouth. He looked at the distance in a daze, but saw Luo Shan sitting on the shoulder of the man in black robe, holding something in his hand.

"Lo Umbrella?"

Yuan Xiao was surprised, but his face soon changed, and he spat out another mouthful of blood. His pupils gradually lost focus, and he fell to the ground.

"I'm in trouble." Luo Shan had a grim expression. He looked at the skeleton not far away, and then looked at the corpse puppet sitting under his butt. It was obvious that he was no match for it.
