Chapter 276 Demonized Qilin Corpse
The Zhang family has long since disintegrated. Now that he, the so-called patriarch, is dead, there probably won't be anyone to bury him here anymore.
The remaining members of the Zhang family: Clan leader, stop joking! In your current state, who in the Zhang family could possibly outlive you? You can send us all away...
Zhang Qiling, who did not want to see them off in their final days, simply declined.
What are you dreaming about?
Once he reached the fifth floor, Hei Xiazi felt as if he had returned to his happy hometown.
He proudly told his friends how he had bravely led Zu Li through the fifth level.
We've obtained the Black Gold Ancient Sword!
He also gave Zhang Qishan's grandfather a big shovel.
The heroic act of not even putting a coffin lid on him and letting him become dried-up old cured meat...
The crowd had already heard the nth version of Hei Xiazi's brave adventure into Zhang Family Ancient Tower...
Just listen to it and leave it at that; whoever takes it seriously loses...
Meanwhile, in Zurich...
"Beep beep, a strange creature has been detected - a demonized Qilin corpse (Zhang Ruitong version), which can be redeemed for 5000 points. Do you want to redeem it?"
Oh~~~
He remembered that when they were last here, there should have been a normal corpse lying inside, right?
Although his points redemption feature hadn't been launched yet, he could still tell if it was a demonized corpse to some extent.
People who spend a lot of time in tombs will become tainted by the yin energy within them. The longer they work in this line of work, the heavier the yin energy will become in their bodies.
These tomb raiders, who are filled with malevolent energy, are precisely the ones most prone to turning into zombies.
For example, there was Dog Fifth Master, who requested before his death that his body not be kept in state and that it be cremated as soon as possible; and then there was Chen Pi Asi, who was supposed to die on Cloud Peak and then become a zombie...
Even if these people turn into zombies, they're just a few troublesome zombies to those around them, but they're also the kind of zombies you can't bring yourself to kill...
However, if a member of the Zhang family, whose physique is already extraordinary, or even the head of the family, were to become a zombie, it would be a disaster for anyone.
Therefore, traditionally, when a member of the Zhang family passed away, their right hand was cut off and buried on the fourth floor of the ancient building. The body was then cremated by the family, and the ashes were collected for worship.
The bodies of the successive clan leaders underwent special treatment, were sealed in coffins to suppress corpse transformation, and buried on the fifth floor of the ancient building.
However, when Hei Xiazi and Su Li came to retrieve the Black Gold Ancient Sword last time, they practically ripped off the coffin lid, leaving it to dry and shrivele for a year or two... ugh, let it just sit there, all fresh and vibrant...
At this moment...
"Holy crap, are you sure this guy is Zhang Qishan's grandfather?"
Seeing Hei Xiazi's smug look, Fatty Wang couldn't help but peek into the coffin that Hei Xiazi was introducing as a tourist attraction.
Looking at it this way...
Good guy...
The skin was dry and hard, and the wrinkles on it didn't look like wrinkles at all. Instead, they were angular and resembled the armor of some kind of crustacean.
Two bulges sit on either side of his slightly protruding forehead, making it look as if a pair of horns might grow out at any moment.
"Is this probably Zhang Qishan's grandfather's pet???"
Hei Xiazi, who hadn't even glanced into the coffin, then turned to look at Zhang Ruitong, who was still lying inside.
"Holy crap! Who are you?!"
Hei Xiazi remembered that when he borrowed the knife from this guy, he was a burly middle-aged man!
Although this middle-aged man may have grown a large, broom-like beard to appear more imposing, he is still within the realm of humanity!
How did it mutate?
These two people's reactions are really a bit much. They are all people who deal with zombies in various tombs all year round. Even if the corpse has turned into a zombie, there is no need to react so much, right?
The bewildered crowd gathered around.
"Fuck..."
"..."
"Mutation?"
"Is this the Qilin corpse?"
Hearing Su Li's words, the still somewhat bewildered group all turned their gazes to him.
"The ancestors of the Zhang family evolved from a drop of Qilin blood, and they possess Qilin bloodline."
Even though the Qilin bloodline gradually diluted over time, each generation of clan leaders was always succeeded by a member of the clan with the strongest Qilin bloodline in that era.
As Su Li spoke, she lightly touched Zhang Qiling's chin with her hand...
"For example, my brother Zhang."
Then Su Li continued.
"To put it simply, a Qilin corpse is a body with Qilin blood that has undergone a transformation due to external influences under abnormal circumstances, and at the same time, it manifests some of the characteristics of a Qilin."
“For example… scales…” Su Li pointed to Zhang Ruitong’s body inside the coffin, which was already covered by black scales, and then pointed to the two bumps on his forehead.
"For example... horns..."
"External object??? What external object??? Isn't it because the blind man didn't put the coffin lid back on for him that this old guy got angry???"
Hei Xiazi stepped on the heavy coffin lid that he had casually overturned years ago.
“This person is dead. Even if he was a stingy person in life, he wouldn’t have gotten this angry.” Su Li pointed at the coffin lid under Black Bear’s feet.
"The complete coffin can suppress the patriarchs of the Zhang family from turning into zombies, and it should also have the effect of resisting... the influence of that thing."
The sudden appearance of the pronoun "that thing" was easily noticed by Su Li's friends, who looked at him expectantly, signaling him to continue.
"That's it."
不负小伙伴们的期待，顺便还打破他们期待的苏黎：?6?1?0?1·?0?8?2?3·?0?8?0?1*?6?2?7?7?0?3?0?3说完了，快夸夸~~~
Xie Yuchen, who habitually praises his child, gives a thumbs-up, followed by Wang Pangzi's sycophantic compliments, Zhang Qiling's affirmation, and Hei Xiazi stroking his fur...
Then there was Wu Xiaogou's bright, adoring gaze~~~
Zuli: Oh no, Huahua, quickly tie a rope to me, I'm swaying a bit, what am I going to do?
"Ah Li, how do you know so much? Did Master Yunqing show you the uncut version?"
Wu Xie blinked his puppy-dog eyes curiously.jpd
"Hehehe, actually it was the system that told me to do it." Su Li chuckled and answered very honestly.
Very good, this is very Zurich.
"So what is that thing?"
Hei Xiazi lay down beside Zhang Ruitong's coffin and poked the bump on the other's forehead with his hand.
Xie Yuchen raised his hand and slapped him. "If you keep touching me like that, you'll have to deal with the corpse yourself when it rises up."
"Are you kidding me? Who do you think I am? I've chopped down countless mummies, blood corpses, and fresh corpses in this tomb. A mere Qilin corpse is nothing..."
As he spoke, Black Bear, intending to continue his mischievous act, looked down and met a pair of cloudy eyes that gleamed with a yellowish light...
"What else could it be? Why isn't Blackie saying anything?" Fatty Wang patted Blackie's shoulder and looked in the direction he was looking...
