The warm blood filled his mouth, which slightly relieved the feeling of coldness in Ling Xiao.

"Ah..." A surprised sound entered Ling Xiao's ears, accompanied by a rustling sound.

Ling Xiao looked toward the source of the sound and saw two figures hiding behind a tree.

After hiding, the person noticed that there was no movement from Ling Xiao's side, so he thought of quietly peeking out to take a look, only to find that there was no one in the direction where Ling Xiao had been.

"What are you looking at?" Ling Xiao's voice suddenly rang out behind the man, who was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground. The rope in his hand tightened, and the thing next to him also fell to the ground.

"Please...please let me go! I have elderly parents and young children to support. My family can't live without me. I have offended the immortal. Please, immortal, have mercy on me and spare my life!" The man knelt down and kowtowed desperately to Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao looked at the object he was holding in his hand. It was a corpse, not very big, and judging from its frail appearance, it had probably died of illness.

"A corpse driver?" Ling Xiao asked.

"Hmm, this is the first time today... My brother is unlucky. Let's take him home and beg the immortals to let us leave this place!" As he spoke, the corpse driver kowtowed twice more.

"But what can we do? You saw something you shouldn't have seen! You also saw that I'm thirsty, so you have to leave something behind, right?" Ling Xiao deliberately tried to scare him.

The corpse driver was so frightened that he trembled all over, and there was a hissing sound coming from his body.

"Tsk, so scared you wet your pants? I thought you were some kind of expert, daring to trek through this forest in the dead of night to transport corpses. How boring," Ling Xiao said with a mix of amusement and disappointment.

"No, no one taught me these things. I just wanted to take the wood ear mushrooms home," the corpse driver said, wiping away tears with a wronged expression.

"Waaaaah, Wood Ear, I can't take you to find your mother anymore. Now I have to die too. If you die, I'll take you home. But if I die, who will take us back? Waaaaah." As he spoke, the corpse driver lay down on the corpse of the man named Wood Ear and cried.

"What deep brotherly affection! I was almost moved to tears." Ling Xiao squatted down to be at eye level with the corpse driver, reaching out a hand towards the driver's neck. "Even when lying, you need to think it through. How can a corpse driver manage to move corpses without a bell?"

Ling Xiao then exerted force with his hand, and the corpse driver kicked his legs twice on the ground before losing his breath.

Ling Xiao withdrew his hand, and the corpse driver's body quickly began to disintegrate. A large number of worms crawled out of his seven orifices, and his flesh began to rot. He looked just like the old man who had claimed to have the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish at the inn. Only the large centipede in his eye socket was half-crawling and unafraid, seemingly reluctant to come out.

Upon seeing its companion die, the wooden-eared creature seemed to sense it, opened its eyes, and launched an attack on Ling Xiao.

Unlike the corpse driver, Mu Erduo couldn't speak, and his fighting was somewhat slow, as if he couldn't see his surroundings clearly.

This gave Ling Xiao an opportunity. Ling Xiao circled around behind Mu Erduo, took out a dagger from his spatial storage, grabbed Mu Erduo's hair with one hand, and slashed at his neck with the dagger in the other, while also kicking Mu Erduo away.

The dagger couldn't sever the head quickly, but because of Ling Xiao's kick, Mu Erduo's head was still severed, and not only that, but his internal organs were also pulled out along with it...

It's... kind of disgusting...

The empty shell, missing its head and internal organs, was still moving on the ground, but this time it crashed directly into a tree.

For some unknown reason, the centipede, which had been half-crawling, suddenly became agitated and let out a terrifying scream as it rubbed against the skeleton, which echoed throughout the forest.
