Cultivation is too difficult, and people will die if they do the tasks.

Chapter 45 Zombies
While the sky was still slightly bright, the four of them walked towards the woods.

This time, Ding Qitong slowed down her pace, observed her surroundings as she walked, and reminded her junior sisters to be careful.

After walking for a while, I gradually heard the sound of water, and after passing through several rows of dense bamboo forests, I found an open bush.

Ahead is a spring with crystal water, forming a pool.

The pool is not big and extends to both sides to form a large loop.In the loop is a flat grassland with shrubs.

It is now the turn of spring and summer, with lush vegetation and green trees.

The strange thing is that there are green grass among the shrubs, but none of the flowers are in bloom, not even a small wild flower.

"Let's take a look around, everyone, be careful. Send a signal in time if something happens. Don't act without authorization."

After listening to the senior sister's instructions, the four of them explored in different directions.

Bai Wan'er walked and looked around. With the experience of the tree spirit flower monster in front of her, she held her breath for a while to see that there was nothing strange.

This open space is quite large, surrounded by hills on both sides.

The sky became dark the moment the sun sank below the horizon.The surroundings were quiet and silent, even the sound of the wind had disappeared.

Bai Wan'er saw that she had gone quite far and found no abnormality, so she was ready to go back and report.

"Whoosh" A bright light came from the spring.

There is a situation!Bai Wan'er flew over and arrived.

As soon as she arrived at the spring, Bai Wan'er flew up and stood on a huge stone, not daring to touch the ground.

The grass was glowing with blue light, and flowers were blooming all over the ground, each one glowing with light blue fluorescence.

The flowers sway like the ebb and flow of luminous ocean tides.

On the edge of the pool, a Ruyi Lock in Zhuang Cailing's hand fell into the spring water. It seemed to be pulled straight by something, trying to pull Cailing into the pool.

Zhuang Caiwei was holding her back desperately.

"Caiwei let go!"

Bai Wan'er waved her hand, and the Ruyi Locks in her sleeves transformed into hundreds of them, half of which flew towards Cai Ling and entangled her.

Half of it flew towards the rock at the edge of the pool, and was deeply rooted in the rock, firmly fixed like an expansion bolt for rock climbing.

When Zhuang Caiwei saw that Cai Ling had been fixed, she threw the Ruyi Lock into the pool, tied Cai Ling's lock, and tried to pull it out together.

Unfortunately, the pulling force under the water was too strong, and Caiwei's lock was also pulled over.

Seeing that Zhuang Caiwei was going to make the same mistake again, Bai Wan'er could only throw out another Ruyi Lock and tie up Caiwei in the same way.

For a time, the water and the water were evenly matched.

"bang"

A flash of light hit the water, splashing water all over the sky. Countless Ruyi locks and arrows shot out into the water like sword shadows all over the sky.

The water surface shook violently, making a roaring sound. With a loud "boom", the two sisters' Ruyi Locks jumped out of the water.

The two of them were splashed wet.

"What's going on?" Ding Qitong fell from the sky.

Bai Wan'er put away the chain and looked at Zhuang Caiwei, who looked at Zhuang Cailing.

Zhuang Cailing lowered her head and said nothing. She hadn't come back to her senses yet!

"Cailing, what happened?" Ding Qitong asked the perpetrator directly.

"I...I don't...know. I waited by the pool when I came back. Later I saw the flowers blooming and shining. At this time, a little deer ran over and drank water by the pool. Suddenly the spring water tied it up and dragged it into the water. .I...I was in a hurry and wanted to see what was in the water, so I tied the deer with a ruyi lock, but unexpectedly it was dragged into the water."

Zhuang Cailing stammered and told the story.

"Is it the spring water that binds the deer?" Ding Qitong asked again
"Yeah, I found it strange too. The water turned into ropes, dragging the deer back. That's why I cast the Ruyi Lock out of curiosity."

Zhuang Cailing said and gestured.

"Didn't I warn you not to act rashly?" Ding Qitong's face darkened.

"Sister, I was wrong." Zhuang Cailing was about to cry.

Looking at Zhuang Cailing who was about to cry, Ding Qitong sighed: "Don't be so reckless next time. You also blame me for not taking good care of you. It's rare for you to go out. How do you know that the world is dangerous."

Ding Qitong glanced at Bai Wan'er and Zhuang Caiwei.

The two hurriedly went to comfort Zhuang Cailing.There were already glistening tears on that delicate little face.

Bai Wan'er comforted her while looking around.

Is there a phantom here too?In the secret realm, the phantom can use water to shape itself and cast spells.But it doesn’t look like it, so the Phantom doesn’t need to eat beasts to feed himself!

Seeing Zhuang Caiwei comforting Cai Ling, Bai Wan'er walked up to Ding Qitong and said, "Senior sister, this place is weird and it's not advisable to stay for a long time. Let's leave quickly."

Ding Qitong glanced at the sparkling flowers and the calm water pool, and nodded: "Let's go."

Ding Qitong greeted the Zhuang sisters.Before he even took a step, there was a sound from the pool.

Ding Qitong winked, and the three of them quickly stood in a row.

Ding Qitong stood in front of the three of them, staring at the water without blinking.

The water bubbled gurglingly, and six or seven people emerged from under the water.

Zhuang Cailing said "Ah——" Caiwei immediately covered her mouth.

Then six or seven people emerged from the bottom of the water and walked towards their group.

Dark, wet, and uniform in movement.

"Brush" they drew their swords and rushed over.

Everyone spread out and jumped to avoid the attack.When I looked closer, I saw a few men drinking tea in a tea shop.

Cai Ling and Cai Wei waved their hands, and the attacker was knocked to the ground by the air wave.Immediately stand up and continue the attack.

In anger, Cai Ling swung out the Ruyi Lock, and the sharp lock immediately pierced the feet of the two people in front of him.

The two men stood up and continued to swing their knives without shouting or crying.

Only then did I realize that their eyes were straight, they had no breath, and their wounds were not bleeding.But his skills are still agile, like a puppet being controlled.

Caiwei took a look and cast a spell, and a ray of fire shot from her fingertips towards the man.

The man continued to attack with his body covered in flames.Caiwei dodged with a slight sway.

Ding Qitong waved her hand, and a golden light shot towards the attacker's heart.

The golden light passed through the heart, and the attacker didn't react at all. He slashed at him with his sword.

Bai Wan'er observed it for a long time. Could it be a zombie?

Well, just chop off the head and that should be enough.

Bai Wan'er waved her hand, and Ruyi Suo flew out and struck the man's neck.

A head flew out, and the headless man still attacked him, exactly.

headless rider!

This frightened Bai Wan'er so much that she screamed and quickly flew up, as high as she could.

"Puppet Heart Curse"

With an angry shout, several rays of light shot at the attacker from a distance, and the light disappeared into the body.

The attacker stopped his attack and trembled all over. "Boom" was blown to pieces.

Immediately afterwards, several more lights shot at the remaining attackers, exploding one after another.Six or seven zombies just disappeared into the smoke.

Two practitioners came over.

I know the two of you who were chatting happily over wine in the tea shop today.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for your help." Ding Qitong bowed her hands and saluted.

"Fellow Taoist, you are polite. People of the same Taoist philosophy should help you. I am Lin Wenhua of the Five Elements Sect. This is Xie Yizhi of the Xuantian Sect."

"Fellow Daoist Lin, thank you for your courtesy. I am Ding Qitong of Qing'e Gate. These three are my junior sisters. I wonder why these two fellow daoists are here?"

Lin Wenhua said: "I and fellow Taoist Xie passed by the forest in front and came over to take a look when they noticed something strange. I happened to see fellow Taoist fighting with the puppet corpse. So I came up to help."

Ding Qitong glanced at the scattered limbs on the ground: "Are these the corpses that fellow Taoists said were under the 'Puppet Heart Curse'?"

"The 'Puppet Heart Curse' is a magic that is rarely practiced even by people in the devil's path. It removes the heart of a dead body and controls it with a spell. It is painless and fearless and can be controlled like a puppet."

"I see, no wonder it's so difficult to repel. Thank you both so much." Ding Qitong thanked them again.

"Why are Fellow Daoist Ding here?"

"I heard from the villagers that the flowers here don't bloom during the day, but bloom and glow at night. I thought it was weird, so I went to check it out. I didn't want to encounter such an attack."

Lin Wenhua and Xie Yizhi nodded and looked at the glowing flowers around them: "It's really weird!"

In an instant, all the flowers went out, and the surrounding area fell into darkness.
