Ni Yang suddenly clapped his hands and said.
"That's for sure! There is definitely something wrong with this. Brother Zhao, you have provided a very important clue."
As he spoke, he gave Zhao Xu a thumbs up.
Well……
This guy is really good at interpersonal relationships.
If I were Zhao Xu, I would probably feel comfortable and have a good impression of him after being praised so fiercely.
Yuan Fei held his chin, looked at the corpse on the ground, and said thoughtfully.
"This shows that the changes have already started when these zombies were still alive."
That's right!
Lao Cao also echoed in a solemn tone.
"Furthermore, judging from Xiao Zhao's description, this guy named Wang Xinren should be very aware of the changes in his body. He even has an excuse to deal with it when others are strange. He has obviously thought about it a long time ago."
This is worth pondering.
Even though he was aware of the changes in his body...he didn't panic or show any signs of asking for help. Instead, when someone discovered it, they came up with all kinds of excuses to hide it?
It can be seen that Daling Village has undergone various changes since its disappearance.
And this change... the villagers are probably aware of it!
At least some people must know.
"It's getting more and more mysterious."
I sighed inwardly.
Sure enough, this huge remuneration of more than 100,000 yuan in cash is spread out per head, which is really hard to get!
At this time, Lao Cao said again.
"Since Xiao Zhao said that this zombie was afraid of fire when he was alive, we can give it a try now. How about a torch?"
Zhao Xu quickly gave instructions to a bodyguard in black next to him.
"Light a torch quickly."
"Okay, Brother Zhao."
He acted quickly...
This time we came to investigate the truth behind the disappearance of Daling Village. In addition to us metaphysics practitioners, the bodyguards in black accompanying us were also equipped with some relatively high-tech outdoor adventure equipment.
In terms of lighting, in addition to strong-light flashlights, there are also new torches with external steel structures, middle insulation layers, and efficient fuel filling inside!
It’s just that everyone hasn’t started lighting up yet.
Soon, a bodyguard in black lit the torch and handed it to Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu handed it to Lao Cao respectfully.
"Coffinmaker Cao, give you the torch."
Lao Cao turned his head towards me.
"Give it to Xiao Wu and let him try it. I'm going to use hemp rope to restrain this zombie."
So, I took the torch from Zhao Xu's hand and stretched it directly to the corpse in full view of everyone.
Sizzle!
The flames touched the corpse's skin, bursts of green smoke came out, and a strange smell of anxiety filled the air.
I keenly discovered that what the flames burned were the plant roots or thread-like mold on the surface of the skin. The hard skin was not damaged at all...
Ho ho ho!
The corpse lying on the ground suddenly let out a weird hoarse cry from its throat, then opened its blood-red eyes and stared at me, exuding a cold and sinister light.
Zhao Xu and several black-clothed bodyguards, who were already relatively close, were startled by this, and they subconsciously took two steps back.
I kept an expressionless face and continued to burn it with the torch - I deliberately moved the torch to a place with more mold. As soon as it touched the flame, it was burned to ashes and fell from the surface of the zombie's body.
"The power of this zombie seems to have become weaker, although the change is very subtle and difficult to detect."
Lao Cao suddenly said something.
The phoenix rope used to fix the coffin and bind the body was his magic weapon, connected to his breath. At this time, using the zombie ghost suppressor, you can naturally feel the changes in the other party.
really!
A smile appeared on my lips, and I told some of my speculations.
"It seems that my guess is correct. This kind of corpse is different from the corpses of dead people we usually see. The mold inside the body is the source of their power."
"And it is very likely that the strengthening caused by this mold has already begun when it is still alive as a living person! That's why Brother Zhao discovered that Wang Xinren's strength suddenly became very strong, and he was also afraid of fire—— To be precise, it’s because this kind of mold is more afraid of fire.”
When burned with fire, this mold turns to ashes. The power of the zombies will also be weakened.
But because there are no internal organs inside their bodies, they are all filled with this mold. So if you only burn some of the surface of the body, it won’t weaken too much...
But no matter what, it will at least make these zombies fearful when attacking.
"Hurrah!"
Ni Yang clapped his hands suddenly and gave me a thumbs up.
"Brother Wu is young, thoughtful, and extremely intelligent. Based on the experience of fighting in the room just now, I can think of verifying the situation of these corpses. It turns out that heroes come from young! In this way, we at least know clearly to overcome the weaknesses of these zombies.”
Zhao Xu and a group of bodyguards in black also nodded.
Indeed, this is good news for them!
I have to say, I feel a little embarrassed in the face of such flattery. But actually... well, I feel really good.
Ni Yang thought for a while and asked me again.
"Brother Wu, this is the ability of ordinary flames to weaken this corpse ghost. Do you want to try again to see how powerful your fire talisman is against this corpse ghost?"
I quickly explained.
"Uncle Ni, don't be ridiculous, I don't know how to use advanced powerful spells like fire talisman. I can only cast talisman fire."
Talisman fire and fire talisman are two different things!
Talisman fire, as the name suggests, as long as the talisman paper can be ignited into fire with its own energy, it can be called [talisman fire]. The flame formed by burning talisman paper, a basic method, is actually not even a specific talisman.
And [Fire Talisman]——is the abbreviation of flame spell.
The way of talismans is broad and profound. There are so many different kinds of charms.
Among the more advanced talismans, there are those that can use their own sense of energy to summon the power of the five elements between heaven and earth to integrate into it!
The fire talisman is to use the power of "fire" among the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth.
Although it looks similar to [Fire Talisman] in appearance, even the lowest level [Fire Talisman] is far more powerful than the strongest [Bombing Haunting Talisman] that I can currently use...
And unlike the fire talisman, which can only cause damage to evil spirits such as demons and monsters, the fire talisman can also attack ordinary people and everything.
It is said that a powerful monk who can successfully draw and control fire charms can burn a cow to ashes even if he casts the weakest fire charm! Or just blow up and burn a thatched house!
If I knew how to use [Fire Talisman], I wouldn't say walking sideways here, but I definitely wouldn't have to be so cautious.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I don't understand the art of talismans at all. I made a mistake, please don't blame me, Brother Wu."
Ni Yang quickly apologized.
I waved my hand to indicate that it was just a small thing.
Then he flicked his hand and found a piece of talisman paper between his fingers. It was instantly ignited by Qi and turned into a ball of flame, which was shot out and accurately hit the corpse on the ground.
Whooped.
The corpse's body was immediately covered with flames, and a small ball of talisman fire instantly enveloped a large area.
Sizzle...
There was a sound of boiling water and oil pan, accompanied by a strong smell of burning and the terrifying "ho ho" cry of corpses.
When the fire went out, the originally black corpse became more like charcoal. There are even holes on the surface of the body in some places, exposing a large amount of mold inside the body...
And Lao Cao told me that the power of this zombie has been weakened by at least half!
I was thoughtful.
"In other words, against this kind of weird corpse, the most basic method of igniting fire using runes is more effective than various charms! This can be considered good news."
After all, the consumption of Qi by Fuhuo is minimal.
As long as the number of talisman papers is enough, I can cast talisman fire almost unlimitedly.
But the effect is even better than [Corpse Suppressing Talisman], [Evil-Repelling Talisman] and the like!
It's a pity that among the practitioners here, I am the only one who knows the way of talismans...
Lao Cao saw what I was thinking, smiled and patted my shoulder.
"It's good to be sure that these evil things are afraid of fire. Although the damage caused by ordinary flames to them is not as good as talisman fire, it is worse than nothing."
"Yep!"
Zhao Xu, who was next to him, also nodded and echoed.
"I asked the brothers to hang bright flashlights around their necks and replace the lighting tools in their hands with fuel torches. This can also improve their self-protection capabilities."
I nodded.
"Well, in short, the mold inside and outside the corpse's body is the source of their power. Just use fire to burn the mold as much as possible."
After chatting for a while, we decided to move on.
After all, this is not far from the village, so it is still at the entrance of the village.
The strange truth shrouding Daling Village is far from being revealed...
"What should I do with this corpse?"
"Of course, completely eliminate it! Why, Brother Zhao still wants to keep it?"
"No, no, I'm just feeling emotional. I was a familiar person before, but now I've turned into a terrifying ghost."
Zhao Xu sighed and looked away.
Lao Cao muttered something while he stroked the hemp rope with two fingers of his left hand, and then a wave of energy appeared. The phoenix rope instantly tightened inward, like a sharp steel cable.
Puff puff...
The phoenix rope directly cut the corpse into many segments.
I threw out another talisman, lit it up in flames, and burned it to ashes.
Then, we continued walking towards the interior of Daling Village!
