Chapter 12: A Shocking Change
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Even though Su Mu had already experienced this twice, the experience of the famine struck him no less harder!
In his previous life, he had lived beyond the means of an eight-year-old.
However, he still died on the way to escape.
How many of the disaster victims, who were as dense as an ant colony, could survive the great catastrophe?
The path would be littered with corpses!
…
Thinking about the mountain of corpses and the scene of starving people exchanging their children for food, Su Mu couldn’t help but shiver.
This was something even more terrifying than ghosts and demons!
Or rather, it was precisely this disaster that caused countless deaths and injuries.
That was why all kinds of ghosts and demons were born in the resentment and continued to wreak havoc in the human world!
“Forget it, forget it. It’s just a simulated world. Why are you thinking so much?”
Su Mu shook his head, trying to get rid of these chaotic thoughts.
He had been running for more than a month, and Wuwei, the demonic priest, should have come to him.
Coincidentally, as soon as Su Mu thought of this, a strange gray fog rose around him.
“They’re here!”
Su Mu’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately became more alert.
In this life, because he had reached the realm of bone refinement, he had put all his effort into tempering his body.
The mountain quaking fist had already been cultivated to the mastery level.
On the other hand, not only did the Lu family’s swordsmanship not improve, but it had also become rusty.
Therefore, Su Mu didn’t bother to waste his time on forging a good blade, and faced all his enemies with his iron fists!
…
This gray fog was probably some kind of formation set up by Wuwei.
After it rose, the disaster victims in the surroundings all disappeared, just like last time.
In an instant, Su Mu was the only one left in the entire world.
An indescribable sense of loneliness and horror welled up in his heart.
But Su Mu had already experienced it once, so how could he be afraid?
He was on high alert, observing every corner of his surroundings.
After a quarter of an hour, seven or eight corpse puppets charged out of the gray mist and headed straight for Su Mu.
Although he didn’t have the ringed saber, he was already a second-rate warrior in this life.
A single punch was enough to blow up these low-level corpse puppets, turning them into a pile of rotten meat!
The sound of heavy punches continued, but it soon ended.
After cleaning up the zombies, Su Mu stepped on their rotten flesh and continued to walk through the gray mist.
He was not in a hurry as he continued to accumulate his strength, waiting for the next explosion.
Wuwei, who was hiding in the dark, couldn’t hold it in anymore.
A moment later, the gray fog receded in all directions, revealing the dilapidated temple.
The moment he saw the ruined temple, Su Mu didn’t say anything and kicked the two broken doors.
After entering the temple, he didn’t stop at all and went straight for the mud statuette!
Wuwei, who was hidden in the mud statuette, was extremely shocked. He didn’t know why this strange martial artist had remained completely unperturbed after encountering such a strange phenomenon and was instead heading straight for his hiding place!
“Could he be an associate of the Tianyi sect?
“That’s not right. Even if the Tianyi sect looked for a martial artist to help, he should at least be a martial arts Grandmaster. They would have no reason to employ a second-rate martial artist!”
As he thought about this, Wuwei didn’t slow down at all.
Just as Su Mu’s fist was about to land on the face of the mud statuette, a cloud of half-black and half-purple blood mist exploded from the body of the mud statuette.
Su Mu couldn’t avoid it in time and was engulfed.
Fortunately, his heavy punch accurately hit the mud statuette.
In the next moment, the mud statuette collapsed, and Wuwei’s real body retreated.
Su Mu wanted to take advantage of the situation to pursue and attack, but he sensed the Qi and blood in his body rapidly decreasing.
Just a few moments later, his cultivation level had dropped to the third tier!
“This demonic priest is indeed difficult to deal with!”
Su Mu cursed in his heart, but he was not surprised.
If Wuwei was easy to deal with, he would have already been captured by the Tianyi sect.
He had betrayed the Tianyi sect and was still able to survive until now, so he naturally had his own abilities.
However, after Su Mu became a second-rate warrior, he wasn’t willing to die in vain, so he wanted to give it try.
Now, it seemed like he was still far from being able to kill Wuwei with his martial cultivation…
…
While these thoughts flashed through Su Mu’s mind, Wu Zi had already controlled his five elements corpse puppets to surround him.
Li Tiezhu was also among them.
It was quite a tragedy. This blacksmith had been dealing with ironware for his entire life, and even after his death, he was refined into a metal-type zombie.
It was cruel fate.
Originally, Su Mu could have held on for a while longer under the siege of the five elements corpse puppet.
However, Wuweizi seemed to have been shaken by his decisiveness and efficiency.
The demonic priest was clearly much more serious in dealing with him and went all out.
The rotten ghost head he had seen in his previous life returned.
From time to time, Wuwei would also throw out purple and black talismans at Su Mu.
The abilities of these talismans were extremely strange.
One of them actually caused many twisted meat tendrils to grow on Su Mu’s left arm, controlling it to attack him!
Under the bombardment of that ridiculous assortment, Su Mu only managed to hold on for a few minutes before he died.
“What a blasted meathead! Five elements corpse puppet, eat him!”
Wuwei shouted in anger.
These days, he had been hunted down by the people of the Tianyi sect, and he had been holding back his anger.
Su Mu, a mere second rated warrior, had actually dared to punch him!
This caused Wuwei’s anger to explode, and he vented his anger.
In addition, this second-rate warrior was very strange.
While his Qi and blood were exuberant, there was actually a large amount of Yin Qi condensed in his body.
It was the most suitable to feed the five elements corpse puppet!
Once he refined the flesh and blood of this second-rate warrior, the five elements corpse puppet would definitely advance smoothly and become one of his trump cards.
As he t thought of this, Wuwei’s mood improved.
He didn’t notice the grin on Su Mu’s mouth.
…
Very quickly, the five elements corpse puppet had devoured Su Mu, leaving not a single trace of flesh behind.
However, before Wuwei could control the five elements corpse puppet to refine the flesh and blood, a figure rushed into his array and walked towards him.
Each step drove the man several meters forward, and he arrived before him in no time.
This man was none other than Qingxu, who had been sent after him.
It seemed that Qingxu’s sudden appearance had startled Wuwei.
The five elements corpse puppet needed to refine the flesh and blood it had just devoured, so he could not use it.
He was at his weakest right now!
But no matter what, Wuwei would not allow himself to be captured.
He used some methods to stop Qingxu from entering the temple.
At the same time, he said to him in shock and anger, “What are you, dog poop I stepped on in a past life?”
This time, Qingxu didn’t look calm.
He shouted anxiously, “You idiot, are you actually worried about me right now?
“Don’t you see the disaster about to unfold?”
When he saw Qingxu’s anxiety, Wuwei calmed down.
He sneered and said, “A great disaster? I’ll be fine as long as you guys get as far away as possible!”
Qingxu had mixed feelings.
“No wonder you went astray, you’re so stupid.
“It seems that having good cultivation talent doesn’t mean that one’s brain is good!
“Look at what that is!”
Then, he pointed at Su Mu’s skeleton.
Wuwei didn’t believe it at first and only glanced at it.
However, what he saw caused his expression to change greatly!
He saw a small bottle hidden between the skull’s teeth.
At that moment, it had already been bitten open, and a strange and evil red liquid flowed out from it, flowing along his spine to his entire body!
“Yin Crow blood?
“Bloodfiend skeleton!”
Seeing this, Wuwei couldn’t help but shout as his body turned cold!
