Corpse Brother: From Calabash Brothers to Corpse Emperor

Luo Heng followed the arrow to the Golden Tripod Building.

Standing at the entrance of the building, memories of this scene flashed through his mind, and he felt a chill run down his spine.

“This is the Golden Tripod Building!” Luo Heng murmured.

"Mosquito Corpse Brothers... those guys are no joke. I remember one big-headed doll-like corpse brother was sucked dry."

This time I can't just lie there like a corpse, or I'll probably be nothing but bones!

Luo Heng looked around cautiously for a while, and only breathed a slight sigh of relief after confirming that there were no mosquito zombies around.

"Fortunately, they're not nearby. Let's lie low for now and wait for Bai Xiaofei to deal with them."

He squatted down against the wall of the building, his mind starting to work out:

"Speaking of which, what do you gain from devouring the mosquito corpse? Will you grow a mosquito's proboscis and then go around sucking other people's blood?"

The thought of having a blood-sucking organ like a mosquito gave Luo Heng goosebumps all over, and he shook his head repeatedly.

"Forget it, that's too disgusting, absolutely not!"

Luo Heng rubbed his forehead and continued to recall the other "treasures" in the building.

"Leaving aside the mosquito corpse, there are other good things inside. For example, that two-headed gecko corpse—"

Its regenerative abilities are ridiculously strong. If I could swallow it, wouldn't I be invincible?

Luo Heng licked his lips, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

"And that frog-like zombie..."

Luo Heng couldn't help but shudder as he recalled the corrosive liquid it sprayed in the story and the scene where the entire building collapsed because of it.

"Tsk tsk, this guy is not easy to deal with, but if Bai Xiaofei can defeat it, I might be able to pick up some good stuff."

Luo Heng hid in the shadows, patiently waiting for Bai Xiaofei and the others to pass the level, secretly encouraging himself:

"Now it's up to the main characters to take action. As long as they handle those troublesome guys, I can come in and pick up the scraps! Hopefully, this time I can make a fortune!"

He hugged his knees, nervously watching Bai Xiaofei and the others, ready to act at any moment, while also being wary of the mosquito-like zombies, fearing that he might accidentally become a "dried-up corpse".

At this moment, Bai Xiaofei was frantically cleaning up the mosquito corpses, wielding his long knife with great force.

But because the mosquito zombie was too fast, he couldn't hit it accurately and could only swing it around in place, sweating profusely.

Meanwhile, Luo Heng, hiding in the shadows, was silently observing the battle.

Suddenly, his True Eye spotted a swarm of mosquito zombies flying toward the deer.

Luo Heng's expression changed, and he instantly realized what was happening:

"Oh no! Mosquitoes love children and people wearing dark-colored clothes, and Little Deer is in the most dangerous spot!"

The thought of the little deer's adorable and innocent appearance brought a lewd smile to Luo Heng's face.

"I can't forgive such a cute little girl if she gets drained! Looks like I, her good zombie brother, will have to step in!"

He reached out and tried it, and sure enough, he felt a faint electric current gathering in his palm. This was the ability he gained when he devoured the Pikachu zombie.

"It's a good thing I have this ability, otherwise I wouldn't be able to save people."

Luo Heng's lips curled up as he watched the swarm of mosquito zombies rapidly approach the little deer.

He dared not hesitate any longer and quickly controlled the current within a moderate range, worried that too large a current would attract the attention of the main characters.

"Come on, little electric ball, let's take down these annoying guys!"

Luo Heng said in a low voice, and suddenly threw a bunch of small electric balls at the mosquito corpse brother.

"Crackling——"

The small electric ball accurately struck the dead mosquitoes, and the current spread instantly, enveloping them in a blue-white electric light.

The mosquito corpse emitted a piercing buzzing sound, then was electrocuted and reduced to ashes, leaving not a trace behind.

Luo Heng breathed a sigh of relief, thinking smugly to himself:

"Luckily I intervened, otherwise Little Deer would have been finished long ago!"

But he still has to be careful; if he gets caught, he's finished.

He retreated into the shadows and continued to observe the situation.

Meanwhile, Bai Xiaofei was still swinging his knife with all his might, unaware of what had just happened.

The fawn stood unharmed in the distance, looking around curiously, completely unaware of the danger.

At that moment, a mosquito-like zombie swiftly crossed Bai Xiaofei's defenses during the gap in his sword swing and rushed straight towards Xiaolu.

Upon seeing this, Bai Xiaofei's expression changed, and he quickly shouted:

"Little Deer, watch out! The Mosquito Corpse Brother is coming!"

Hiding in the shadows, Luo Heng saw Bai Xiaofei's gaze turn in that direction and immediately hesitated to make a move, his heart filled with anxiety.

"Oh no, how am I supposed to make a move? What if they find out I'm secretly attacking?"

However, by the time Xiaohui and Yu Xiaojia realized what was happening, it was too late.

The mosquito zombie had already pounced on the deer's head, extending its long proboscis to suck blood.

When Luo Heng saw this scene, his heart jumped into his throat:

"Little Deer! Run! It's all over! She's going to be sucked dry!"

But the next second, he froze.

The mosquito's proboscis was stuck in the deer's head covering, but it didn't penetrate her skin at all.

It was just frantically sucking on the inside of the deerskin headgear—it couldn't hurt the fawn at all.

"..."

Luo Heng was speechless, inwardly cursing:

"Did I overestimate the intelligence of mosquitoes? These stupid things actually suck on clothes? This mosquito zombie's brain is probably used entirely for flapping its wings!"

Just then, Lei, who had been hiding in the shadows, suddenly stepped forward, holding a gun and aiming it at the mosquito-like corpse.

"boom!"

A gunshot rang out, and the bullet struck the mosquito-like zombie's head precisely. The creature screamed and fell to the ground, completely dead.

Lei put away his gun, and Bai Xiaofei quickly asked Lei to help them find Xiao Lu's mother.

Luo Heng, who was hiding in the distance, watched all of this and suddenly felt a tightness in his heart:

"Wait a minute, Brother Lei?! That soldier who was pretending to be dead on the bridge? Didn't he leave? How come he's suddenly back?"

He shrank back, his gaze sweeping warily over Brother Lei:

"When did this guy hide here? Could he have seen me?"

If they knew I just used an electric ball to kill that mosquito zombie, they'd be in big trouble!

Luo Heng tried his best to remain calm, secretly calculating in his mind:

"Forget it, I'll just play it safe. Brother Lei and the main characters aren't on the same side, so he shouldn't care about me."

If all else fails, just pretend to be a corpse!

He remained concealed, silently observing the situation on the field, ready to respond to any unexpected events, while remarking:

"This main character group is indeed full of hidden talents; each one is more capable of causing trouble than the last."

Bai Xiaofei led Xiao Hui, Yu Xiaojia, and Xiao Lu into the nearby supermarket and began searching for any tools they could use to deal with mosquitoes.

They found mosquito coils, electric mosquito swatters, insecticides, mosquito repellent, and even some spray insecticides on the shelves.

Bai Xiaofei packed all these things into a bag, muttering to himself as he did so:

"It's better to prepare more than to have your resources drained."

Xiao Hui, holding a pile of insecticide, asked in confusion:

Are these really useful?

Bai Xiaofei nodded, his tone resolute:

"Don't underestimate these things. The mosquito corpse brothers are somewhat similar to ordinary mosquitoes. You can keep them away from one at a time."

He walked to the door, his eyes lit up when he saw the blooming seven-mile jasmine by the entrance. He picked a few bunches of seven-mile jasmine, braided them into simple wreaths, and handed them to everyone.

"Wear this, the scent of Murraya paniculata will repel mosquitoes. Little deer, remember to wear it properly."

The little deer innocently accepted the wreath, put it on its head, and happily said:

"It smells so good! Uncle is amazing!"

Bai Xiaofei smiled, put the remaining wreath on his head, and carefully led the group into the building.

Watching the main characters' actions from a distance, Luo Heng's face was full of doubt: "Seven Mile Fragrance? Can these things really deal with the Mosquito Corpse Brothers?"

He stroked his chin, his mind filled with doubt, but seeing Bai Xiaofei's serious expression, he began to waver.

"Well, the stuff the main characters use can't be too bad, what if it actually works?"

So, following Bai Xiaofei's example, Luo Heng picked a few bunches of Murraya paniculata, simply tucked them behind his ears, and casually stuffed one or two bunches into his pocket.

He patted the flower by his ear and muttered to himself:

"Even if it's useless, it looks pretty convincing, at least it can give me some courage."
