Chapter 106 Dead Brides

The quiet night wind blew through the high grassland, and only a loud noise was heard in the distance.

A woman shouted viciously, "He is mine!" The dead bride screamed in front of Fang Weimin. Her right-hand gripped Fang Weimin's throat tightly. She wrapped Fang Weisheng tightly with vines and pushed him away.

Fang Weisheng was sliding towards Yang Bao, and many vines rushed towards him. Yang Bao flew over and stood in front of Fang Weisheng. Yang Bao pulled out his sword, quickly swung his sword forward, cut off all the vines that shot at Fang Weisheng, and his sword returned to his hand. He cut off the vines wrapped around Fang Weisheng. Yang Bao helped him to stand up.

Fu Yongrui threw many needles at the dead bride, and the dead bride reached out to Fu Yongrui, just as Fu Pengfei slashed the dead bride's right arm with his sword and Fu Yongrui slashed vine that tighten around Fang Weimin.

The dead bride screamed, Yang Bao hurriedly stepped forward, and cut off the dead bride's head with his sword.

The hunters slowly retreated to the side of the group, and the body parts of the dead bride quickly rolled back into a pile and reassembled. Six junior males flew over and covered the dismembered body parts with golden net.

A male hunter looked at Yang Bao and said worriedly, "Second senior brother, how do we kill it?"

"Second senior brother... the magic net can't hold it much longer."

"Think of something."

Yang Bao knew that he couldn't kill the undead with sword attacks. They will have to use magic to suppress the dead. He said, "Weisheng summon Shan." He rushed forward, took out a talisman, and stuck it on the body of the dead bride who was assembling her body parts on the way.

"Second senior brother! The magic net begins to crack."

Yang Bao shouted at his juniors, "Separate the parts, don't let them assemble."

(Two days before the Incident)

Along the dirt road that stretched for miles, hundreds of young and old followed the hunters towards the borderline, Yang Bao turned to look at the exhausted people dragging behind him. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and handed the leather bota to Fang Weisheng.

Fang Weisheng popped the top off, put the top of the bag to his lips, and tilted his head back, but nothing came out of the water bag. He closed the top back and decided to return the bag to Yang Bao.

Fang Weisheng turned left and right and returned the empty bottle to Yang Bao. "There's no more water," he said.

Fang Weimin said, "Senior brother, this place is different from when we came here."

Yang Bao turned around and looked at the people behind him, and continued to walk forward, "When we came, Wan lead the way. I was too focused on saving senior brother, and I didn't remember the way well."

Yang Weimin said, "It's not your fault, it's all our fault. Also, we're not familiar with this land." He paused for a moment. "Second senior brother, do you want to find a place to rest? I don't think the people behind us can walk anymore."

Fang Weisheng turned around and walked towards the person behind him. "There is a mountain in front of us," he said. "We can continue to walk until we get to the bottom of the mountain and then we can rest. Maybe there is a village or a river there."

Ankh said, "I agree with you." He stopped and turned to the crowd. "Everyone, hurry up, we'll rest in front of that mountain." He pointed to the mountain in front of them. "I know everyone is tired, but the sooner we get there, the sooner we can rest."

The crowd murmured and followed the hunters to the foot of the mountain, a few hundred yards away.

When the Xian people and the hunters arrived at the foot of the mountain, it was almost dawn. Not far in front of everyone, there was a desolate village.

Yang Bao instructed his juniors to look around to see if there were any villagers. When the juniors came back and told Yang Bao that this small village had been abandoned for a long time, it was getting dark.

Fang Weimin pulled Yang Bao aside and said, "On the far right of the mountain, there are many coffins."

Yang Bao asked, "Underground?"

Fang Weimin said, "No, hundreds of rows of coffins are lined up from the foot of the mountain to the mountain."

Fang Weisheng whispered, "Second senior brother, I don't think it's safe to stay here?"

Yang Bao said, "We have no other choice. The Xian people are not hunters, they can't walk like us all night."

Fang Weimin asked, "What should we do? This place is so creepy."

Yang Bao sighed heavily in his heart, "I can feel the rich dark energy in the air, but we have no choice. Get ready." He looked around at the hundreds of Xian people of all ages. "Set the perimeter."

Xiao Mei said, "Then we have to guard, just in case."

Yang Bao nodded and said, "Ankh, please let the people know, don't wander off sight."

Ankh said, "I'll pass the message on."

The hunters set up camp and the men and hunters gathered some food and fireworks.

The first night went well without incident and the people decided to take another day to rest, pack some food and continue their journey tomorrow morning.

The next day, hunters and the Xian gathering food and water until night. The hunters and some men were guarding, while old men, women and children rested.

Ankh saw Yang Bao sitting around the small bonfire alone. He grabbed the roasted pigeon, walked to Yang Bao, and sat beside Yang Bao. Ankh handed Yang Bao the roasted pigeon.

Yang Bao sighed and took the roasted pigeon from Ankh. He smiled and said, "I thought Xian don't eat meat."

"We didn't initially, but for many years as slaves, King Chrono forced us to eat meat every day. For King Chrono, it was some kind of entertainment, but for us, it was survival," Ankh said. He sighed. "We got used to it over time. We agreed that once we get to our new home, we would go back to eat leaves and berries."

Yang Bao took a bite of the pigeon and said, "Your people will get along very well with the Centaurs."

Ankh asked, "How?"

Yang Bao said, "The Centaurs of Immortal Valley are also vegetarians."

Ankh sighed happily, "I can't wait to see those mythical creatures." He looked at Yang Bao and teased. "Can you become immortal by eating their flesh?"

Yang Bao chuckled, "You should know this theory better than anyone, right?"

Ankh scoffed and shook his head, "Mortals have the weirdest beliefs."

Suddenly, the sound of people's grief echoed in the night.

"What's wrong with you?"

"My husband passed out suddenly."

"Brother..."

"Father..."

Yang Bao and Ankh stood up abruptly and walked towards the person a few yards away from them. Ankh, who was walking in front of Yang Bao, suddenly fell backwards into Yang Bao's arms. Yang Bao shouted, "Ankh! Ankh!" He put his finger on Ankh's nose, and he seemed to suddenly fall into a deep coma.

Xiao Mei, Fu Pengfei, Fu Yongrui, and other Lotus disciples were sitting around the bonfire when suddenly, the male disciples fell to the ground.

"Bothers what's wrong with you."

"Brothers."

Lotus female disciple, "Senior brother, they..." She looked worriedly at Fu Pengfei.

Fu Yongrui looked around, and it seemed that it was the Guozhao hunters who was not affected by the unknown. Fu Yongrui said, "What's going on? How come none of the Guozhao hunters is affected?"

Xiao Mei said, "We have a magic protection circle on our chest." She looked at Fu Yongrui. "Why aren't you affected?"

Fu Yongrui, "I don't know..."

Xiao Mei said, "Do you have anything that our disciple gave you?"

Fu Yongrui said, "Oh, Ah Lei give me a red string."

Xiao Mei said, "Don't lose it."

Xiao Mei stood up and heard an indifferent female voice in the distance. She looked at the distressed Xian women and elders and found that the young men and middle-aged men suddenly fell into a coma.

The female voice singing at night gently approached the abandoned village full of Xians and hunters.

"Brides come here to hold the hand of their beloved husbands.

Climb into the sedan chair and be taken into the love room.

A bow to heaven, a bow to earth, a bow to each other.

From tonight, until our bones are one with the earth, we will still be husband and wife. "

Yang Bao held Ankh on his arm and looked at the hundreds of lanterns approaching them. Yang Bao saw many women in red wedding gowns approaching slowly, their faces and heads covered by red veil.

Yang Bao looked at his junior and said, "Activate the barricade."

Yang Bao pushed Ankh back to one of the female juniors and jumped up to face the dead brides. He took out a handful of yellow talismans from his inner robe and threw it to the nearest dead brides. The talisman effect prevented the dead brides from advancing towards the group.

A loud female voice sounded from the mountain, "Who? Who dares to take our husbands away!"
