As soon as I heard the footsteps, my heart suddenly rose to my throat. I looked at the sloppy Taoist priest and said, "What's going on? How come someone found this place?"
The sloppy Taoist priest also looked confused and said, "I don't know. Could it be that the four traveling friends from before also found this place?"
"Let's take a look at the situation first and then act accordingly." I said softly.
At the moment, the two of us were hiding behind a big rock. There was a hole behind us, and we didn't know if it could lead to the outside.
I was a little panicked. I didn’t know who could find this ghost place in this barren mountain and old forest at night except the two of us.
After waiting for about three or four minutes, the footsteps got closer and closer, and it sounded like there were quite a lot of people listening to the sound.
Not long after, one of the first people walked into the stone room. I peeked out from behind the stone, and saw that the first person who came in was an old man. He looked to be in his sixties. He was not tall and not too tall. He was just over 16 meters tall, with a hunched back and a bulging bag on his back. He was wearing burlap clothes and had a sharp scimitar stuck in his waist.
The old man's eyes looked very sinister. As soon as he came in, he looked towards the huge sarcophagus.
When the hunchbacked old man came in, a young girl followed him.
The girl looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, about the same age as me. She was tall and although the clothes she wore were a little ragged, she looked pretty good.
The girl was holding a hemp rope in her hand, and there were several people tied behind the hemp rope. As the girl walked, she scolded the people behind her to move faster.
The people tied up with the hemp ropes all wore black hoods covering their heads.
Look at the people wearing hoods, they look like men.
There was a man among them who was very tall and covered with muscles. I looked at that man's body shape and felt very familiar. He seemed to be Wang Zhenfa, the traveling friend we met before.
At this moment, he was also covered with a black hood, but his whole body was trembling.
The old man led a group of people to a place less than five meters away from the stone coffin and stopped. He looked back at the men tied up with ropes behind him and said, "Ruoyan, keep an eye on these people." , it will start soon."
"Don't worry, Master, they will never escape." The girl named Ruoyan said proudly.
At this time, the sloppy Taoist priest and I looked at each other. Both of us had puzzled looks in our eyes. We had no idea what the old man and the young man were doing here with these four men.
However, I saw a hint of panic in the sloppy Taoist priest's eyes.
At this time, I suddenly felt that the sloppy Taoist priest seemed to be hiding something from me. His purpose of bringing me here was not that simple.
But at this moment, there was someone in the stone room, and we couldn't communicate. I could only ask him with my eyes, and he just shook his head at me, indicating that I must not make a sound.
After a while, the girl and several men approached the stone coffin.
The hunchbacked old man looked at the sarcophagus for a long time, and then said: "The corpse elixir cultivated by the Zombie King will be ready soon. It is still a little short of heat. Feed the Zombie King with these people, and the corpse elixir will almost be ready."
"Master, can this Corpse Pill really improve your cultivation level?" asked the girl named Ruoyan.
"Yes, the Zombie King is an evil corpse that is rare to see in a century. If I hadn't discovered him decades ago and refined him over the years, this Zombie King wouldn't be so powerful. The reason why I refined him is In order to get the corpse elixir from the body of the zombie king, as long as you get this corpse elixir, not only can you greatly improve your cultivation, but it can also extend your life. You can live for a few more decades." The hunchbacked old man said with a smile.
"Master, let's start quickly. If it's not enough, I will catch a few more pigs and feed them to the zombie king." The girl said with a smile.
It was incredible to me to hear their conversation.
It turns out that the zombie king was refined by the hunchbacked old man, and they fed the zombie king with living people.
This is simply inhumane.
Especially that girl, who had no mercy and even called a living person a pig.
At this moment, the hunchbacked old man walked up to the huge stone coffin, took out a big bell from his waist, and shook it rhythmically in his hand, making a jingling sound. Still chanting some incantation.
After a while, something incredible happened again, but inside the sarcophagus, there was black corpse gas emanating from the gaps, carrying a stench, and drifting towards us.
I held the canopy ruler tightly in my hand, feeling so nervous that my heart almost jumped out of my throat.
After a while, I heard a strange sound suddenly coming from the sarcophagus, like nails scratching the coffin board.
"Crack, click, click." A heartbreaking sound came from the direction of the sarcophagus. I looked towards the coffin, but I saw that the coffin boards were moving little by little, and then there were a large number of black corpses. Gas spurted out of the coffin.
The next moment, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out from the coffin.
Those hands were very terrifying. All ten fingers had blue-black nails, which were thick and long. Each nail was like a sharp dagger, which was more than ten centimeters long.
Immediately afterwards, another sound like the roar of a beast came from the coffin.
The lid of the stone coffin was quickly opened halfway, and a huge body sat up from the coffin.
Then there was another "bang" sound, and the contents of the coffin ejected directly from the coffin and stood up straight.
At this time, I could clearly see the true face of the zombie king. His face was pitch black, and he even had black scales like fish scales. His eyes were blood red, and his mouth was full of sharp fangs. The canine teeth were intertwined. Look. It was very scary to go up there.
The zombie king was very tall, almost two meters tall, with a burly figure, and his clothes were in tatters and had turned into rags.
There was a thick black corpse aura surrounding him. Just looking at him made me feel unreasonably scary.
He looked so scary, let alone fighting with him, I immediately lost my confidence.
As soon as I saw this thing, I immediately had the urge to turn around and run away.
When the zombie king stood up from the coffin, the bell in the hand of the hunchbacked old man rang again, and the zombie king jumped out of the coffin.
