But I took a closer look.
The chests of Li Miao and the Yin-receiving woman were still rising and falling slightly - this meant that they were both still alive and not dead yet!
It is estimated that they were just temporarily knocked unconscious by this mother-in-law zombie.
Although I don’t know why this vicious creature took so long, it deliberately spared their lives and didn’t kill them. But this is undoubtedly great news for us!
"It's great that Brother Li is not dead."
I thought to myself.
However, as soon as Lao Cao saw the situation of this "corpse tower", his expression suddenly changed drastically.
He even staggered back two steps involuntarily and said in an extremely shocked tone.
"Gather the corpses into a tower and turn the evil spirit into a king! Is this, is this the legendary... transformation process from a corpse evil to a corpse king?"
What? !
When I heard what Lao Cao said, I was immediately shocked.
Just now I saw these corpse spirits gathered into a "tower" shape. The female corpse ghost was lying on the top of the tower, with her head resting on Li Miao and the Yin-receiving woman. It just makes me feel a little weird and shocked.
But I never expected that there would be such a meaning in it?
I swallowed subconsciously and asked.
"Old Cao...you mean that this mother-in-law zombie is going to transform into a corpse king?"
If it was something like [Corpse King], there would be no need to fight at all. All of us are definitely doomed!
After the initial shock, Lao Cao calmed down at this time.
He shook his head and said.
"That's not true. The breakthrough from Corpse Evil to Corpse King is extremely difficult - it's not an exaggeration to say it's as difficult as climbing to the sky. My master once said that for every hundred corpses, , if there is a corpse king that finally succeeds, that is considered too much."
This means that from Corpse Evil to Corpse King, the probability of success is less than one percent!
Lao Cao continued to explain...
If you want to transform from a corpse evil into a corpse king, there are generally three ways.
The first is to rely on the cultivation of the corpse evil itself, constantly absorb the essence of moonlight and a large amount of yin energy in a special place, and finally achieve a breakthrough naturally. This is the most time consuming! It will take at least a hundred years, or more.
But the corpse king transformed by this kind of corpse evil is also the most powerful and difficult to deal with.
The second is that by chance, Zhi Sha obtained a corpse pill from another corpse king. After swallowing it and refining it thoroughly, the zombie will naturally reach the corpse king level.
This kind of breakthrough is achieved by swallowing and refining the corpse pills of other corpse kings, which is the weakest among the corpse kings. After all, he took a shortcut.
In addition, there is a third way!
That is, the powerful zombie evil relies on controlling a large number of zombie ghosts and making them surrender. In the end, their corpse energy was connected together, helping him to break through in one fell swoop.
The overall strength of this kind of corpse king is between the first type and the second type, neither strong nor weak.
And this method of "turning a corpse into a king" is also the most common in reality!
After all, most of these very powerful zombies have their own territory - so it is not very difficult to forcefully control other zombies in their territory.
It is said that when a powerful corpse spirit connects the corpse energy of its "little brothers", the specific form it takes has no impact on the result.
But I don't know if it has any specific meaning. According to rumors in the world, when "Zombie Demons Transform into Kings", they like to have the controlled corpse demons stacked up in a tower shape.
And the corpse himself is at the top of the tower!
This is why there is a saying like "gathering corpses into a tower and turning evil spirits into kings".
Lao Cao is worthy of being a veteran. After the initial shock, he quickly calmed down. He analyzed with vicious eyes...
"The difficulty of transforming into a zombie evil king is very difficult. Even for the most powerful zombie evil, the probability of success by condensing corpse energy to break through is very small. What's more, I think this [Zi Mu evil] although She's very powerful, but she's definitely not at the peak state of [Zombie Sha]. I guess she's at best a medium level of power among the Corpse Sha."
I see!
From this point of view, we don’t have no chance at all.
The mother-child corpse in front of me wants to turn into a corpse king. At best, it's just a matter of luck.
But while we are relieved, we must not completely relax our vigilance!
What if she succeeds?
That would really be the end!
Not to mention that Li Miao can't be rescued, the two of us, one dog and one bird, will probably have to be left here.
What's more, the simple [Zi Mu Zhi Sha] is enough to give us a headache.
After calming down, we are ready to take action!
I roughly expressed my opinion.
"Xiaoyuan, don't do anything yet. Fly higher and skim the formation in the air. Lao Cao, Heizi, I, and I will launch attacks from different directions at the same time. Try to get this mother-in-law corpse away from Brother Li and the others at the very beginning. . Then you grab them and fly away immediately."
"As for the follow-up...you should consider whether to join the battle based on the actual situation. I don't want to fight head-on with this mother-in-law corpse. There is no need! Once we capture Brother Li and the others, as long as we are not entangled, we can Just withdraw.”
Naturally, the three of them agreed with this arrangement.
Our original purpose was to save Li Miao and the woman who took over the Yin. We have no grievances and no grudges, so there is no need to fight to the death with this vicious [Zi Mu Shi Sha]!
We cautiously approached the "corpse tower" ahead...
Apparently, I guessed wrong before - the zombies that attacked and blocked us in the water just now were not deliberately ordered to intercept them by the zombies after they knew our whereabouts.
She must have been trying to become a king by piling up "corpse towers", so she issued an order in advance to not allow anyone to approach the cave!
Because Lao Cao also said just now, when the corpse spirit gathers a large amount of corpse energy to try to break through, it will be in a semi-sleeping state.
Unless she is under strong influence or attack from the outside world, she will not wake up from ordinary small movements.
Therefore, our movements and conversations when we came out of the water just now, as well as our walking there now, will not wake up this terrible mother-child corpse.
As for the corpses stacked up like "towers"?
Originally, the corpse energy was taken away, and he had to be the "fuel" for the boss to try to break through and become a king, and he also entered a state of slumber.
And what is a bit miserable for them is that once the corpse evil king is successfully transformed, their corpse energy will be drained away. All of them will turn into ordinary corpses and eventually rot away.
Finally, we came to this "corpse tower"!
