Chapter 618: Breaking the Corpse (2)

The speed and movement decrement brought about by the ice domain made Xiao Shi and the mirror image easily dodge all the attacks of the corpses. While dodging the attacks, they kept attacking and bombarded the two corpses crazily, causing the two corpses to be completely passive and unable to fight back.

It was even to the extent that the longer the corpses stayed in the ice domain, the thicker the frost covering the corpses, causing their ability to move less and less. In the end, it was completely frozen and could not move.

But even so, Xiao Shi and his mirror image still did not stop attacking. This confused Zhou Hong, who had witnessed this scene. With the current situation of the two corpses being frozen, they could already evacuate. However, Xiao Shi had no intention of retreating at all. Instead, he attacked the corpses crazily.

This made Zhou Hong unable to understand the meaning of Xiao Shi’s actions.

Xiao Shi’s actions were not just to pass through this place, but to completely destroy the corpses. In order to speed up the destruction of the corpses, Xiao Shi did not continue to attack the two corpses separately from the mirror image. Instead, he focused on one of the corpses with the mirror image when the two corpses were frozen.

Originally, with the powerful recovery ability of the corpse, it would take a long time for Xiao Shi to completely destroy it. However, the freezing effect brought about by the Ice Domain not only froze the speed and mobility of the corpse, but also its recovery ability.

As a result, the recovery speed of the corpse was greatly reduced. In addition, Xiao Shi and the mirror image kept attacking. Finally, after a round of bombardment, this corpse was completely blown up by Xiao Shi and the mirror image.

As the corpse exploded, Xiao Shi grabbed the only intact bone after the corpse exploded. He held it in his hand and stared at it carefully. On this bone, there were some obscure runes that were quickly dimming and disappearing. The moment these runes completely disappeared, the bone in Xiao Shi’s hand could no longer remain intact and shattered.

Xiao Shi was deep in thought. The reason why he tried his best to destroy this corpse was to figure out the secrets of these corpses. He needed to know how these corpses move and fight without being controlled by their souls. Only by figuring this out could he deal with these corpses in the best way.

This checkpoint was where corpses appeared. Currently, the area they were in could be the intermediate or the back of the valley. If this was the intermediate part of the valley, that meant that they would definitely face another batch of corpses. So far, they had dealt with these corpses through the exclusive items they had obtained in the first two rounds.

Even though Xiao Shi still had the number of times he could use these exclusive items, if he continued to use them, these exclusive items might be consumed. After all, be it the Ice Domain Hell Blade or the Handle of Myriad Mirrors, they could only be used twice.

Xiao Shi did not want to spend ail these exclusive items on this checkpoint. Therefore, he needed to find a way to deal with these corpses without using exclusive items.

“If this is the middle of the valley, the difficulty of the later parts of the valley will probably double!”

Xiao Shi looked at the dead Guan Zhihong. He knew that the difficulty of the checkpoint here would not be reduced just because the Martial Demon Realm cultivators in the checkpoint died. It would only increase the difficulty. He had to prepare for the worst.

Fortunately, after blowing up the corpses, Xiao Shi realized that there were some strange runes engraved in the bones of these corpses. These runes were clearly the reason why the corpse could still fight on its own without being controlled by the soul.

When these runes were combined, it was as if they formed orders one after another, urging these corpses to fight alone without souls. Other than that, the powerful recovery ability of these corpses and the strength of their bodies came from these runes. As long as he could resolve the runes in the body, even if he did not use his exclusive item, he could still deal with these corpses.

Xiao Shi wanted to study the blood-colored sabers in the hands of these corpses. After all, the threat this blood-colored long saber posed to him was even stronger than the corpse itself. However, he realized that after these blood-colored sabers left the corpse’s palm, they automatically dissipated and could not be touched at all.

This blood-colored saber was very likely a Corpse Weapon. It was a weapon that could only be touched and used by corpses. After gaining a certain understanding of the corpses here, Xiao Shi and Zhou Hong continued to lead the guards forward.

After Guan Zhihong died, the guards that originally belonged to him also turned into Xiao Shi and Zhou Hong’s guards one after another. The demon avatar sealed in the box turned into black smoke like the Martial Demon Realm cultivator Xiao Shi had killed previously and fused into the box that sealed Xiao Shi and Zhou Hong’s demon avatars.

However, because it was split equally, the black smoke did not condense into a black bead on the demon avatar’s neck. It just further strengthened the black bead from before. When they led the guards forward for a distance, they entered another area of the valley.

“As expected, there are far more than two areas in this valley!” Xiao Shi narrowed his eyes.

The coffin in this area was reddish-gold in color, and the style of the coffin was noble, like the coffin of an emperor and general. The ground here was no longer ordinary. Instead, it was covered in gold bricks. It was filled with glory and grandeur. Just from the style of this place, one could sense that it was extraordinary.

Zhou Hong’s expression was solemn. “1 don’t have any exclusive items anymore.” He said bitterly. Originally, the huge frost shield he took out could be used a total of three times. However, after being shattered, he no longer had any exclusive items that he could use.

Xiao Shi thought for a moment. He gave the last exclusive item that Guan Zhihong had not had the time to use until his death to Zhou Hong. As a member of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, Xiao Shi would still take care of him if he could. With this exclusive item, he believed that Zhou Hong would have no problem protecting himself.

They stepped into this golden area. It was the same as the previous two locations. After they entered, the coffin on the cliff immediately trembled violently under the blowing of a violent wind.

Amidst a series of booms, the golden coffin lids flew out. Four burly figures rushed out of the four coffins. They were four corpses wearing golden armor and golden helmets. They were like four mighty and extraordinary generals who held down one fort. Even though they had already become corpses, their valiant and powerful aura still existed.

The most terrifying thing was after they rushed out of the coffin. They did the same thing as the corpses in the previous section and pulled out a long saber from the ground. However, unlike the previous district, the long sabers in their hands were no longer blood-colored, but reddish-gold. Not only were the colors different, but the sense of danger these golden sabers gave Xiao Shi was also stronger.

Xiao Shi could not help but feel terrified when facing these golden sabers. Apart from the golden sabers in their hands, the golden armor on their bodies was also extraordinary.

“F-four!?” Zhou Hong’s expression suddenly changed. “How can there be four of them!!” When Guan Zhihong was alive, there were only three corpses. He could not understand why there were four corpses here.

“It’s obvious that after one of us died, the difficulty of the checkpoint doubled, so the number of people increased.” Xiao Shi did not find it strange. The difficulty had increased. Moreover, the corpses in this area were clearly stronger than the corpses in the previous two areas. However, Xiao Shi had already thought of a way to deal with these corpses..
