"It's so hard to find such a cozy nest, should I just give up?"
"But, if I don't leave, even I myself will become someone's zombie puppet!"
Edmund looked back at the thick Yin spring, his heart full of struggles.
"Damnable Corpse Refining Sect! Destroying my cave, I'm at loggerheads with you!"
Edmund wandered around in the cave, releasing all of his divine sense and looking out from the cave entrance from time to time.
Generally speaking, without a day or two of time, those few black-clothed men would not be able to find this place.
However, everything was not absolute. In case they were lucky and ran in headfirst, it was also possible.
Therefore, whether to leave or stay, Edmund had to make a decision as soon as possible. When you make a decision, you will suffer the consequences! This truth, Edmund understood.
"This group of enemies totaled eight people, and the soldiers were divided into three directions. The strongest battle force should be a rank seven traveling corpse puppet. I am now a rank five traveling corpse, and with the special technique and the strength of my flesh, I am able to take on a rank six traveling corpse head on;if I use a talisman, I will have at least a 60% to 70% chance of winning against a rank seven traveling corpse. It seems that it is possible to fight."
"Moreover, I can sneak attack. The enemy is clear and I am dark ... I am originally a zombie, who would have thought that a zombie would also sneak attack people?"
"Grrrr! Dare to rob the cave with me, I'll yin you to death!"
Edmund laughed triumphantly, his iron face hideous and terrifying.
"Luckily, they split their troops into three, otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have a chance."
"After killing a few of them, there might be something to gain. At the very least, I can get a few blood coffins holding vampire puppets, preparing me for the next step of quenching the vampire puppets.... It can also be considered a compensation for my loss of the Yin Spring!"
"Without the support of the vampire family, with my strength alone against the entire Corpse Refining Sect, I will definitely not be able to defeat them, in the end I will still have to escape, but at least I can take a breath."
Edmund instantly made up his mind and immediately began to set up.
First, he came to the entrance of the cave, and after a moment's thought, he took out his talisman making pen, dipped it in ink mixed with the Fire Scaled Armored Cow's essence blood and vermilion sand, waved his wrist and splashed ink, directly drawing talismans on the ground at the entrance of the cave.
The moment a fire talisman was completed, Edmund only felt that the mana in his body suddenly drew a mouthful, and the blazing yellow light under the pen flashed, and the handwriting disappeared.
"Woo!"
Edmund breathed a sigh of relief, not daring to rest, waving the brush and splashing ink, continuing to draw talismans.
Drawing a dozen or so on one face, Edmund felt empty of mana in his body, and the rotation of one big, two small, and three qi whirlpools were a bit feeble before he stopped.
Lying into the sarcophagus, holding a Yin Condensation Bead in his hand, he operated his gong method to suck in the yin qi, replenishing the loss in his body.
Pounds of majestic yin power melted out from the Yin Condensation Bead and surged into Edmund's body.
After an incense stick of time, Edmund opened his eyes, only to feel a surge of mana in his body, completely recovered.
Experiencing the effectiveness of the Yin Condensation Bead, Edmund felt even more distressed about the Yin Spring that he would be forced to give up. He also hated the Corpse Refining Sect even more for coming to his door for no reason.
With his mana restored, he got up and continued to draw talismans.
Leaving fire talisman, attracting thunder talisman, suppressing corpse talisman, kunming talisman ... two hours of busy work, the cave from outside to inside, on the ground, on the walls, all over the various talismans.
Although these talismans did not have yellow paper as a carrier, however, the effectiveness for a short period of time was not much different, just slightly weaker.
Silver core grass as the material made of yellow paper, more is to play the role of "freshness". Talisman formations are drawn on the paper, and the speed of passing will become extremely slow; if the special jade box is then used to hold it, the speed of passing mana will be negligible.
"The fire-removing talisman has the power of the third grade, and the lightning-inducing talisman and the corpse-quelling talisman only have the power of the second grade.
"It's just that if they can't find this place within a day, the power of the fire-removing talisman will drop to second grade, and the lightning-inducing talisman and corpse-suppressing talisman will drop to first grade ... It doesn't matter! I'll just put in some effort to enchant them at that time!"
After checking once more to make sure that there were no loopholes in everything, Edmund lay back down in the coffin and began to recuperate.
"Let's let you see the difference in strength of a zombie with 800 years of vampire blood, intelligence, and the ability to draw talismans!"
...
Until the evening, it was calm and uneventful, and Edmund's state, too, had been adjusted to the best.
Standing at the mouth of the cave, the light dotted with the essence of the moon, like fireflies pouncing on Edmund's body, penetrating into the body through the skin, making Edmund feel doubly comfortable.
However, Edmund's heart was incomparably anxious:
"It's nighttime now, but the Corpse Cultivators are equally good at night battles and hate the yang-heavy daytime, so I don't think they'll be resting."
"According to their division of labor, the ones who were able to find their way here should be the three Zhao Dalu. At that time, from a distance, these three were all in the third or fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage, and were not enough to worry about. However, the corpse cultivator's strongest means of combat are all their zombie puppets, as long as they don't release them, no one will be able to know."
"These three people's zombie puppets won't be more than a level 6 traveling corpse, I just hope it won't be too strong, if it's three level 6 traveling corpses, it's enough for me to suffer! It's better to avoid a head-on confrontation as much as possible ..."
Edmund mulled it over in his mind and only felt that a sneak attack was the way to go!
...
On the morning of the third day, a situation finally arose.
Edmund was lying in his coffin, nourishing his body with silk Yin Qi, when a sudden warning sign went off in his heart.
"Eh? Kunming talisman!"
Whew!
With a gust of wind, Edmund's body stood straight up.
Gently jumping to the entrance of the cave, a burst of human voices had already come over.
"Here! This must be the place! The Yin Qi is much thicker than the neighborhood!"
"Hurry!"
With the sound of the wind, several people had reached the entrance of the cave.
Edmund carefully released his Divine Sense, and all the sights within the range were clearly mapped into his mind.
The first one was the guy called Zhao Dalu, who was the strongest cultivator at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage; next to him were two guys at the third level of the Qi Refining Stage.
If it was just these few people, Edmund was confident that he could casually strike out and slap these guys to death with a few palms.
However, Edmund also knew that to evaluate the combat power of a corpse cultivator, one could not look at their own cultivation, but should look at their zombie puppets.
Edmund couldn't be careless if these few black-clothed guys' zombie puppets weren't released.
"Senior Brother Zhao, this is the right place! With such a thick Yin Qi that gathers but doesn't disperse, nine times out of ten, the Yin Spring is in the cave, let's hurry up and send a signal to inform Senior Brother Wang Yao!" A black-clothed man said excitedly.
Edmund's heart thumped.
If the other party notified the other two groups, it would be troublesome. If it wasn't good, the only thing to do was to take the initiative and take action to finish off these three first.
Fortunately, Zhao Dalu said with a cold snort:
"Notifying Senior Brother Wang Yao now? We're just guessing, how can we be sure without going in and taking a look? It's too unwise to hastily invite senior brother over. Moreover, the Yin Spring is a rare treasure that will be accompanied by many other treasures, are we still afraid of losing out if we go in first?"
Thinking of the treasures that might accompany the Yin Spring, the eyes of the two black-clothed men outside the two also brightened up.
Seeing that the two senior brothers were moved, Zhao Dalu opened his mouth and ordered:
"The loose cultivator who gave us the information is relatively reliable. He said that this Yin Spring is newly appeared, and there should be no favorable demonic creatures inside. However, it's always right for everyone to be careful. Wang Changgui, let your zombie puppet take the lead, and Sixth Son, yours will follow closely behind."
Wang Changgui had a reluctant expression on his face, but, not daring to disobey his senior brother's order, he could only promise. With his left hand, he pinched the spell, slapped his right hand on the small coffin behind him that was more than a foot long, and recited under his breath, shouting:
"Yin people out of the coffin!"
Swoosh!
With a flash of black light, there was already an additional green-faced and fanged zombie in front.
A rank four traveling zombie!
Edmund was slightly relieved. This kind of cargo was an existence to be killed in seconds in front of Edmund.
Immediately after that, that Sixth Son and Zhao Dalu himself had also released their respective zombie puppets.
Sixth Son's puppet was also a rank four zombie, while Zhao Dalu's, was a peak rank five zombie.
Edmund completely lowered his heart when he saw this.
Two level four traveling corpses and a peak level five traveling corpse ... said that they were without any pressure!
Now the question is, how to wipe them out, don't let any of them escape. Ideally, let them not even send out a distress signal.
