As bones were thrown up one after another, Lu Zhu, who was sitting on the sidelines and watching, gradually changed his expression from frightened to numb.
By the end, he had completely adapted to it, and even came up and moved his white frame outward so that he could jump out more easily.
About half an hour later, all the bodies were brought to the ground.
Xiang Shu didn't dare to waste time and continued working.
She first put away all the blankets on the ground, then placed most of the bones at the exit, making an escape gesture, and then evenly spread the dust.
Lu Zhu watched for a moment, then understood immediately and started to arrange it accordingly.
The two worked hard for a long time and finally decorated the house in every detail.
At this moment, it suddenly became extremely noisy outside the house.
"what happened?"
Lu Zhu's face changed slightly. Could it be that Sister Shen was right again? Does anyone really dare to continue to take action in the city?
Aren't they afraid of death?
After hesitating for a moment, he approached the formation in front of the door, trying to hear it more clearly, when suddenly——
"Roar!!"
The sudden roar was so close, as if there was only a door across the way. Lu Zhu's face suddenly changed with fright, and he ran back to Xiang Shen, rolling and crawling.
It was at this moment that several wandering cultivators passed by outside the door, and their conversations came into the room very clearly.
"Corpse puppet!"
"It's corpse puppets massacring the city!"
"Run away, escape from the city!"
"ah!!"
"..."
"Sister, did you hear that?" Lu Zhu tried his best to lower his voice.
"I'm not deaf, so I can certainly hear."
Xiang Shen grabbed a handful of dust in his hand and filled in the gaps. His voice was as usual: "The formation you set up has a sound-isolating effect, so there is no need to control your voice."
"But……"
Just as Lu Zhu spoke, he suddenly saw the outermost ring of light shrouding the door suddenly flashing, accompanied by bursts of roaring sounds. He immediately became nervous, "The corpse puppet has discovered us! Sister Shen, let's hide quickly!"
"Not urgent."
As Xiang Shen said this, she covered up the last few footprints on the ground. When she looked up, she happened to see the outermost door array that wrapped the door of the room shattered. She glanced at Lu Zhu.
Lu Zhu's face was filled with shame and he wished he could crawl into the ground.
He also did not expect that the formation disk left by the royal family could only last less than ten breaths under the attack of the zombie puppets.
Xiang Shen pursed his lips slightly and without saying anything, he jumped into the underground secret room with Lu Zhu and took advantage of the short suspension period to scatter the last handful of sand.
The next moment, the floor of the secret room closed tightly. The handful of sand fell, just enough to cover up the last footprints of the two of them.
The room suddenly became quiet, but it didn't last long. After a loud bang, dense footsteps came from above.
Lu Zhu consciously covered his mouth and nose, not daring to take a breath.
Xiang Shu's face remained calm, but doubts arose in his heart.
The footsteps above sounded uniform, not like the gait of a corpse puppet. Moreover, that loud sound broke through two formations one after another, which was not what the corpse puppet said.
Sure enough, not long after, a familiar sound of shock came from above.
"Brother, these bones..."
"They are all ancient monks. Their storage rings have decayed and collapsed, but their corpses can still exist. These people's cultivation level is at the Nascent Soul stage at the lowest level..."
Xiang Shu's eyes immediately narrowed, and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
These are the voices of Xiang Hongyu and Shu Gaoming.
Xiang Shen was just surprised, but the moment Lu Zhu heard the human voice, he fell into a trance.
He didn't know Xiang Hongyu, but Shu Gaoming had a unique voice and was extremely easy to identify.
He always felt that it was too much for the Blazing Flame Sect to stand idly by while the Lu Kingdom was being attacked on all sides, but he didn't want to...he was still too naive.
These so-called decent sects from famous families act together with corpse puppets, killing people and grabbing treasures everywhere. How are they any different from the demonic sects? !
Lu Zhu had thoughts very similar to Xiang Hongyu's.
Meanwhile, the conversation on the surface continues.
"Senior brother, I have searched for them all, and all the storage rings are decayed."
Xiang Hongyu came over to report after the inspection. Yuan Zhong immediately flicked his sleeves and said, "Unlucky."
Shu Gaoming was not surprised, he nodded and said: "This Xuanwang City has been silent for too long. No matter how good the treasure is, it cannot withstand the erosion of time. It is normal that there is no harvest."
As he spoke, Shu Gaoming glanced across the dusty room, and his brows suddenly frowned slightly.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Xiang Hongyu asked immediately.
"Nothing, I just feel something is wrong. Although the hidden formation outside has the disadvantage of being set up for too long, it seems too fragile."
Shu Gaoming shook his head and was about to check into the back room when suddenly——
boom!
There was a shocking loud noise in Beicheng, and the earth shook.
Lu Zhu immediately felt a slight heat in his blood, and subconsciously looked at the wall to the north, feeling an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
The ancestral land was opened.
"Senior brother, is the blood sacrifice formation successful?"
"Xueyunzi, despite the agreement, detonated the blood sacrifice array in advance to open the entrance to the ancestral land?!"
"It's too much to bully someone, senior brother, without further ado, let's get over quickly and don't let him take the lead."
Shu Gaoming looked slightly cold, "Let's go!"
As soon as the words fell, several people in the room turned into a mysterious light and flew out of the earth building.
Lu Zhu was sweating profusely. When he heard that there was no movement above, he immediately gasped for air. Just as he was about to speak, Xiang Sheng covered his mouth and nose and pointed at the top.
Lu Zhu heard several zombie roars and immediately nodded to express his understanding.
After a while, all the wandering zombies were killed by the formation, and the entire earth building fell into deathly silence.
"You can talk now."
Xiang Shen suddenly spoke, but Lu Zhu was not frightened. Instead, as if he heard the sounds of nature, his whole body softened and relaxed.
After gasping for air, Lu Zhu said in a dull voice: "Sister Shen, you should leave the city now."
Xiang Shen glanced at him and said, "The Blazing Flame Sect has done such a scandalous thing that goes against the right path. If you were Shu Gaoming, would you let the casual cultivators hiding in the city escape and spread the news?"
Lu Zhu was stunned for a moment, then his face turned grim, "The way down the mountain is blocked? Even if I can come out of the ancestral land alive, won't I still be caught by them in the end?"
Xiang Shu remained silent.
This secret room was so well concealed that even the consciousness of the alchemy stage could not detect it. She originally wanted to hide here until it rained and practice the "Breath Condensation Technique", find ways to improve her cultivation, and then try to leave the city.
But now...
Xiang Yu looked up at the sliver of light coming from the gap above his head, his eyes dark.
That was the gap that was created after the blood sacrifice formation was detonated.
With this gap, the secret room can no longer be isolated from spiritual exploration.
If Shu Gaoming and others hadn't been in a hurry to leave and enter the ancestral land and not come into the back room, she and Lu Zhu might have died just now.
Thinking of this, Xiang Shu took a deep breath and said, "Lu Zhu, how much do you know about the ancestral land?"
Lu Zhu's eyes suddenly brightened, "Sister, have you changed your mind?"
"Do I have a way out?"
Xiang Shu sighed softly, "Instead of waiting for death in the city, it is better to go in and fight for the unknown."
"Very good!"
Lu Zhu was overjoyed. Although he knew that Xiang Shu's cultivation level was not much different from his, being able to go in with her made Lu Zhu feel at peace inexplicably.
"I don't know what it's like in the ancestral land, but... I'll give this to you."
Lu Zhu took out a blood-colored emblem from the storage ring and handed it to Xiang Shu, "This is the blood emblem I made. It was originally given to Manager Lin. With the protection of this thing, you should be much safer in the ancestral land." .”
Xiang Shen nodded and took it, stored it close to his body, then opened the secret room mechanism and left with Lu Zhu.
…
The ancient streets were deserted and no one was in the wind. Bloodstains could be seen everywhere, as well as corpses destroyed by formations.
Xiang Shen and Lu Zhu rushed forward with all their strength, and soon arrived near Beicheng. From a distance, they saw the entrance to the ancestral land was wide open, and there were many corpses wandering aimlessly nearby.
Xiang Yu hid in the ruins and observed for a moment, then picked up a handful of stones on the ground and threw them into the distance.
Snapped! Snapped!
The impact of the stones made a crisp sound, and some zombies heard it and immediately left the area around the entrance, following the sound. But not long after, it was back to the same place, and there was no enough gap to pass through.
Xiang Shen narrowed his eyes, grabbed another handful of stones, looked at Lu Zhu, and whispered.
"Three breaths."
Lu Zhu nodded nervously, then grabbed a handful of stones, and while throwing them towards Shu, he tried his best to throw them in the opposite direction.
The moment the stone was thrown, Xiang Shu didn't hesitate at all. He jumped out with Lu Zhu and rushed towards the entrance of the ancestral land at the fastest speed in his life.
The crisp collision sound and the sound of the body flying through the air sounded almost at the same time. The zombies with low consciousness seemed to be stuck in a decision at this moment. They were stuck for nearly a breath before swarming towards the two of them.
But even if they had an extra breath, Xiang Shen and the others were still a long way from the entrance to the ancestral land.
Seeing that the corpse puppet was about to catch up with him, Lu Zhu's heart almost jumped into his throat, and his mind went blank.
Xiang Shen was much calmer. She reached out to touch the storage ring, threw out a large number of ordinary talismans and struck the corpse puppet, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Recover!"
The corpse puppet was hit by the bombardment and was not injured at all, but its figure was stagnated for a moment.
Lu Zhu came to his senses after being scolded by Xiang Sheng, and suddenly became excited. No matter what he took out from the storage ring, he threw it into the pile of corpses.
Throwing the third piece, I don't know what kind of magic weapon it was, it exploded with a bang, and the corpse puppets were scattered in all directions.
Xiang Shen's pupils condensed instantly, he grabbed Lu Zhu's shoulders, flew far away with the help of the shock wave of the explosion, and fell straight in front of the entrance of the ancestral land.
"Roar!!"
The corpse puppets were blown to pieces and suddenly fell into a frenzy, killing them at a faster speed.
Without any time to think, Xiang Shen stood up and kicked the dazed Lu Zhu into the entrance vortex. Before he could go in, a strong wind suddenly came from behind, and a strong smell of corpses poured into his nose. The corpse was close. So close!
At the moment of life and death, Xiang Shu's pupils shrank suddenly. Before his thoughts were clear, his body had already reacted first. He turned around suddenly, and a white light flashed in his hand, blocking it in front of his chest.
boom!
The sharp black claws hit the white blade surface, and the bone knife shattered.
Xiang Yu spurted out a mouthful of blood, but with a bright smile on his face, he disappeared into the whirlpool.
