Chapter 316 The Corpse at the Village Entrance
Wen Luozhi looked up and saw Mo Li tied up. A ragged woman was jumping around in front of him, holding a bell and muttering incantations.
The dull sound of the bell made Wen Luozhi feel extremely uncomfortable.
With Xiannian and the others around, she dared not use modern weapons and could only take out a small crossbow.
The arrow aimed directly at Wu Yao's hand holding the bell, but missed by an inch and struck the bell itself.
"Ah!" Wu Yao hurriedly picked up the bell and saw a crack on it. She couldn't help but scream in anger.
This is the Soul-Capturing Bell that her master left her before he passed away!
It actually cracked?!
Without the Soul-Capturing Bell, she would have no way to take away Mo Li's soul, and all those days of hiding and pent-up frustration would have been for nothing!
"I'll kill you!" With bloodshot eyes, she charged toward Wen Luozhi, while two puppet corpses in front of her also attacked Wen Luozhi under her control.
Wen Luozhi drew the soft sword from her waist and stared warily at the dirty thing rushing towards her. "Interesting," she said, a slight smile playing on her lips.
She'd only ever read about this thing in novels; she'd see what it was tonight.
Two puppet corpses jumped in front of her first. She moved her soft sword between them, but as if she had no feeling, she only paused for a moment and then continued to pounce on her.
"Hahaha, damn it! You ruined my plans!"
The puppet seemed tireless. Seeing that Wen Luozhi was struggling, Wu Yao laughed triumphantly from the side, crunching on a fruit in her hand.
Wen Luozhi glanced at her and quickly pulled out two powerful tranquilizers from her sleeve.
She forcefully stabbed the puppet corpse in the neck with one hand and the other, and in the blink of an eye, the puppet corpse, which had been charging around, collapsed softly.
Wu Yao thought the control time had expired, so she took out a small blood-red banner and waved it vigorously while shouting, "Go get her! Kill this meddlesome woman!"
Her hands were sore from shaking them, but the two puppet corpses on the ground still didn't react.
Everything else looked normal, and she immediately realized that Wen Luozhi must have done something to it.
She pulled a box from the bundle on her back, her face filled with malice. "Well, I didn't expect you to have some skill."
Wu Yao stared greedily at Wen Luozhi's face, then raised her hand to touch her own face, which was half burned by the fire.
She couldn't imagine how happy she would be to have that flawless little face on her own.
When Wen Luozhi saw what was in the box, she almost threw up her dinner.
What was that? It was a box of round, red and black insects!
At that moment, the insects were wriggling rapidly inside the box, and if you looked closely, you could see that they were actually twisting their bodies toward her.
"vomit!"
Wen Luozhi couldn't help but spit it out. She took a step back and took a deep breath. "Batian! Let's switch!" she shouted.
It wasn't that she was afraid of the thing; she just felt disgusted even by looking at it, let alone dealing with it.
Upon hearing her call him, Wolf Overlord quickly shoved aside a zombie and ran toward her.
The two, one human and one wolf, switched battlefields with remarkable coordination. Before Wen Luozhi could even catch her breath after arriving on the other side, three zombies stretched out their arms and tried to grab her.
She quickly ducked to avoid it, and Xian Nian, who was standing nearby, warned her, "Miss, this thing is difficult to deal with; ordinary talismans won't work! You must be careful!"
He was tackled to the ground by a puppet corpse as soon as he finished speaking, and Huixin was held back by others when she tried to save her master.
Seeing this, Wen Luozhi loaded a tranquilizer onto a short crossbow and shot it directly at the neck of the puppet corpse.
One by one, the puppet corpses fell down, until only three zombies remained.
The shadowy figure only saw his general's wife slightly raise her hand and the puppet corpse fell down. Just as he was admiring her, Wen Luozhi over there caught his eye again and again.
Wen Luozhi had a thick rope wrapped around her waist. She first put it around the neck of a zombie and then moved back and forth between several trees.
Seeing this, the others rushed to help, and several zombies were bound hand and foot one after another, while the thick rope around Wen Luozhi's waist got shorter and shorter.
Finally, the group pulled together, and the zombies flew up and were hung from the tree like balls.
That wasn't all. Wen Luozhi glanced up and pulled out several bottles of corpse-dissolving water from her sleeve.
"Shadows! Not a single one can be left alive!" she said sternly.
Tonight, if this zombie manages to escape, everyone in the village will be in danger. Even if they risk their lives, they cannot let it get away.
The shadowy figure took the item and swiftly splashed it on the three zombies.
After a chilling low groan emanating from his throat, only a rope tied in knots remained on several trees.
"You've gone too far!" Wu Yao's eyes were bloodshot with hatred. She had spent several sleepless nights digging up those puppet corpses and zombies in several villages!
Now that everything has collapsed or disappeared, she's practically driven mad with anger!
Although Wolf Overlord had a face-changing Gu crawling all over his body, it shook it vigorously and the Gu fell off one after another.
Wen Luozhi felt a chill run down her spine as she watched, and the system's excited yet restrained mechanical voice echoed in her mind: "Host! Go!"
"Use the new, powerful insecticide from this system!"
As soon as its voice disappeared, a transparent spray bottle filled with green liquid appeared in Wen Luozhi's hand.
It was so disgusting that she closed her eyes and let Wolf Overlord give her orders.
"Hahaha, they're all dead! They're all dead! That's awesome!"
Wolf Overlord jumped around excitedly, while Wen Luozhi smelled a burnt odor.
She opened her eyes and saw that there were many tiny sparks on the ground.
[Isn't our newest fire-resistant insecticide amazing?!]
The system kept boasting, and this time Wen Luozhi finally praised it, saying, "It's really good."
The main problem is that these bugs really give me goosebumps.
Wu Yao was held captive by the shadowy figure. Seeing her precious face-changing artifact destroyed, she was so angry that she vomited blood and fainted.
The mother dragon came over with Little Pink and Little White, and the dark figure was so frightened that it almost ran away.
He hadn't thought this far ahead because of the critical situation, but now that he sees such a huge creature, he's afraid he won't even be able to run a few steps before being swallowed whole.
"Our benefactor, we're leaving now," the mother dragon said, gently nudging Wen Luozhi with her tail.
Wen Luozhi looked at the two reluctant little python siblings and smiled, saying, "How about I play with you again after I've taken care of these things?"
The two little guys nodded, and after a gust of wind, the three of them—one big and two small—disappeared without a trace.
The shadowy figure remained stunned for a moment. Wen Luozhi patted his shoulder with a half-smile, "You could easily swallow ten in one gulp, huh?"
The shadowy figure swallowed hard and immediately understood her meaning, holding up three fingers to swear, "General's wife, rest assured, I will not utter a single word!"
Wen Luozhi nodded in satisfaction, pointed to Wu Yao on the ground, and said, "Find a secluded place to lock her up. We'll deal with her when it's light."
Just as she was worrying about what to do with the puppet corpse, Xiannian came over with his prayer beads.
"Young lady, these are probably the bodies that have gone missing from the village in the last two days."
Wen Luozhi was taken aback upon hearing this, and upon closer inspection, one of the puppet corpses on the ground did indeed look somewhat familiar.
"Shall we move down the mountain? Someone will find us as soon as it's light."
This is the only way now. She can't exactly carry the body around from house to house asking, "Is this your house?"
Wouldn't that scare people to death?
The puppet corpse needs to be controlled by someone, but now that it has been injected with something and Wu Yao is unconscious and can no longer do anything bad.
