Ling Xiao's skills were utterly inadequate; he knew his own limitations.
His hands trembled uncontrollably as he faced the blood-soaked corpse.
"Come out!" Though trembling, he couldn't lose his momentum! Ling Xiao called out again.
With a 'bang,' the coffin exploded open, and the blood corpse rushed straight at Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao, holding the Thousand Chance Umbrella, thrust it towards the blood corpse's throat.
Unexpectedly, the stab struck the blood corpse's hand. Ling Xiao quickly transformed the Thousand Chance Umbrella into a shield to block the blood corpse's attack. Ling Xiao was also slammed against the wall. Ignoring the pain, he quickly transformed the Thousand Chance Umbrella into a musket.
'Bang, bang!' Two shots hit the blood corpse's face, then the umbrella transformed into a spear, slashing through the blood corpse's hands and stabbing it straight at its throat.
The young man stepped forward to help, took out his black gold ancient knife, cut his hand, dripped blood onto the knife, and slashed at the blood corpse.
Seeing an opportunity, Ling Xiao transformed the Thousand Chance Umbrella into a spear, smeared it with his own blood, and stabbed it into the blood corpse's throat, pressing it down firmly.
"Brother, now's the time to cut off his head!"
The young man nodded, raised his black gold ancient sword, and severed the blood corpse's head with a single stroke.
"Thanks, bro!" Ling Xiao said to the bro.
'System, why can't my blood kill the blood zombie?'
[Host, I've already told you, your bloodline is impure and needs purification! Besides, the blood corpse isn't a living thing; it's at most half-living. (???)]
"Ling Xiao, are you alright?" Wu Xie ran over and tried to pull Ling Xiao up to check him over.
Ling Xiao quickly stepped back and said, "I'm fine."
Wu Xie was about to step forward when the young man said, "Apply the medicine!"
Ling Xiao nodded: "I'll bandage myself."
Wu Xie quickly said, "Let me help you. Both your hands are cut, and your back is covered in blood. You can't apply the medicine by yourself."
Ling Xiao shook his head and said, "I'm fine. Little Brother is injured too, so you should go and help him."
Upon hearing this, Wu Xie stepped forward even further: "What are you trying to prove?"
"It's not that I'm showing off, it's just that my situation is a bit special," Ling Xiao explained.
"What special circumstances?" Wu Xie asked again.
The young man pulled Wu Xie aside and shook his head at him. Seeing that the young man had stopped Wu Xie, Ling Xiao went to the side to apply the medicine.
[Host, you didn't kill the blood zombie alone, so...]
So, is there going to be another punishment?
【Host……】
'You're not trying to tell me that even you think it's unreasonable, are you?'
【…】
"We'll go out later, right? Punishment should be given according to the occasion, shouldn't it?"
[Host, you can fuse the hexagonal bronze bell now.]
What's the use?
[The Thousand Chance Umbrella can be upgraded]
'Integration.'
Subsequently, the Thousand Chance Umbrella changed. Ling Xiao glanced at the space and discovered that the Bronze Bell was gone.
'View Panel'
Host: Ling Xiao
Age: 26 (Countdown: 15:49:49)
Bloodline: Spider Lily (Effect: The entire body beneath this bloodline is highly poisonous; any creature that touches it will die. The more developed the bloodline, the stronger the toxicity).
Skills: None
Weapon: Thousand Manifestations Umbrella (Intermediate) (Umbrella, Shield, Musket, Spear, Grappling Hook, Katana Form)
'I killed the blood zombie, shouldn't I get some reward?'
The system is currently undergoing liquidation.
'Okay'
Ling Xiao's wound was also bandaged, but he couldn't see his back, so he didn't bandage it. Anyway, he wouldn't be in any trouble without bandaging it. His bloodline purity was too low now, so although his wounds healed a little faster than normal people, it was about the same, and still faster than Xiao Ge's recovery.
Besides, he'll be punished again soon, and who knows where he might run into next, so it's better not to deal with it at all.
He took out a piece of clothing from his backpack and changed into it. It was prepared by Panzi and the others, two sets for each person. They didn't expect him to change into it so quickly.
Ling Xiao returned to the group, but Wu Xie was still somewhat sullen. Pan Zi and Wu Sansheng came forward to ask him what was wrong.
Da Kui chimed in, "Wow, this Ling Xiao is so incredibly cool! Taking on a blood corpse single-handedly! Just like me back in the day! Hahaha!"
Panzi kicked him: "Get the hell out of here! If I hadn't been holding you back, you would have peed your pants already. What? Now you're not crying and begging to go home?"
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Wu Sansheng stopped them, saying, "Alright, don't you know where you are?" He then turned to Ling Xiao and said, "Little Ling, can you continue?"
Ling Xiao nodded: "It's alright, let's go."
He turned around and comforted Wuxie: "It's okay, it's really nothing serious, not as bad as you think. It's just a little scratch, no bleeding. If it were really serious, you wouldn't be able to leave without bandaging it for me!"
Wu Xie thought for a moment and nodded. He was just furious. He knew Ling Xiao was strong, but he had watched Ling Xiao fall against the wall, coughing up blood, and several pieces of the wall had collapsed. How could he not be seriously injured? Yet this guy wouldn't let anyone help him…
The group continued walking forward, and Panzi called out to Wu Sansheng from the front: "Third Master, there's a Jade Gate here."
The mechanisms at Yumen had been destroyed. Pan Zi stood there dumbfounded and asked, "Why are there so many coffins here?"
There were many coffins in the middle of the tomb, haphazardly placed together. The stone slabs around the tomb were covered with densely packed characters. Wu Xie held a tinderbox and looked at them from the side.
Panzi asked from the side, "How is it, Third Master? Can you understand these characters?"
Wu Xie nodded: "I can only understand part of it, not the whole thing."
Da Kui leaned closer: "Young Master, tell us what happened?"
Ling Xiao listened attentively from the side. He wasn't familiar with these things, and Qin Feng mostly told them as stories. There were some things he still had to learn on his own.
"This place records the life of the person in the stone coffin. The person in this tomb was a feudal lord of the State of Lu."
The tomb's occupant was born with a ghost seal, which allowed him to borrow soldiers from the underworld, making him invincible in battle. He was then enfeoffed as King Shang of Lu by the Duke of Lu.
It also describes his battles in detail; each time his Ghost Seal flashes, a large number of ghostly soldiers emerge from the ground and steal the souls of the people.
Da Kui said from the side, "So this tomb belongs to that King Lu Shang. It's a good thing he's dead. Borrowing ghost soldiers is too terrifying!"
Pan Zi, standing to the side, also sighed, "Yes, otherwise it would have been the State of Lu that unified the six states!"
Wu Xie laughed loudly from the side: "Listen to his nonsense, borrowing ghost soldiers, if that's true, then the Classic of Mountains and Seas is also true?"
Da Kui asked from the side, "Then why are there seven coffins?"
The young man explained from the side, "It's called 'Seven Star Suspicious Coffin'."
Da Kui asked, "What's that?"
Wu Sansheng explained: "Of the so-called Seven Star Coffins, only one is real. The others either contain blood corpses or have traps inside."
[Ding—Congratulations, host, for killing the Blood Corpse. Reward: 15 days of health and a Tomb Raider World ID Card]
'System, have you taken the wrong medicine?'
What? ●)o(●)
'So generous?'
The system has always been very generous, okay? o?o?
'You changed your driver?'
【Host, what are you saying?⊙?⊙】
'nothing. '
Ling Xiao felt that this system was very strange. Its attitude was good one moment and bad the next, and it didn't seem like a righteous system at all... Could it be schizophrenic? Could it be controlled by someone?
He might not care about other things, but being controlled is a big problem. Who can control a system? Think about the penalties: he can't complete the task independently, he can't not tell the system about drinking beforehand, and he accepts that mentioning A-Ning is a violation.
Does a system care about your private life, except when you're completing tasks?
So he wanted to try again, to see if the system was really being controlled. If someone else could control the system, did that mean his life was in someone else's hands at all times? Conversely, did he also have the opportunity to control the system?
