Chapter 122: Little Zombie (2)
Rong Yi observed the kid closely with the light of his torch, “His face is paler than ours. Colorless lips, dark eye circles, yellow teeth, sharp and grey nails...”
Then he muttered while putting wrinkles in his brow, “Is it a zombie?”
Rong Yi had seen several zombies before, but their teeth were long and sharp, their faces were pale green, their fingernails were black and purple, and their bodies stunk. They were quite different from the child in front of them. Maybe he was wrong.
“What is a zombie?”
“A dead body that comes back to life.”
“Are you talking about ghouls?”
“Yeah, something like that.” Rong Yi was glad that they were cultivators and had a certain resistance to ptomaine. But things would be totally different if the zombie was at higher level than them.
“How can there be ghouls here? Are they made by people from the Ghost Sect?”
At this time, Wind Inducing and Mantis Wave flew over, “This ghoul looks over a thousand years old,”
“A thousand years old?!” Hearing this, Rong Yi and Yu Bin hurried to step back to the exit of the passage, “How did you know that?”
“He looks similar to a human in all aspects and even smiled at you. He must have high cultivation. Only ghouls with such cultivation level would look like human race.”
Rong Yi asked, “Can you deal with him?”
“Ghouls with a thousand years of cultivation are equivalent to the cultivator at Void Purifying phase.”
Which meant they could do nothing with this boy. Rong Yi and Yu Bin looked at each other and said, “Run.”
He quickly stood on Yu Bin’s flying sword and rushed out of the passage.
Watching they leave, the zombie kid giggled, and flew from behind.
When the zombie was nearly catching up with them, Rong Yi hurriedly asked the two small evil beasts to stop him. Unexpectedly, like smashing mosquitoes, the child beat them off with a palm.
“Speed up, he is right behind us!”
Yu Bin took out the Speedup Rune and stuck it on the flying sword. Immediately their speed was much faster than before. However, the child was even faster. Soon, he flew to Rong Yi’s side and giggled at him.
Yu Bin threw a fireball at him and burned all the child’s clothes, but the child’s skin and flesh were intact and he was still chasing after them happily.
Rong Yi screwed up his eyebrows. Why did the kid laugh so much?
“Even the Spiritual Fire doesn’t work on him.” Yu Bin then took out his long sword and stabbed it into the child’s body. With a crash, the long sword broke into halves.
Rong Yi was speechless, “The zombie’s body is as hard as a thousand-year-old tortoiseshell. I would only feel strange if you can stab into it. Are there no other ways to deal with it? Since we know he is a ghoul, then use the corresponding method to get rid of him!”
“I’ve only seen three ghouls before. But there were cultivators who could control them. I have no idea how to deal with him. Young master, you’ve read hundreds of thousands of volumes of books. You should have a way to deal with them.” Yu Bin and Rong Yi flew out of the back mountain.
“I can do nothing even if I could figure out a wa I am only at level two of Qi Practicing. The rune I draw doesn’t work on him at all.” Rong Yi took out a yellow rune and cinnabar pen from the Storage Ring and quickly drew an Exorcism Rune and threw it at the child’s forehead.
The child stopped.
Rong Yi was shocked, “Huh? It works?”
Then the child tore it off, sniffed it and stuffed it into his mouth. After chewing it for a few seconds, nah, not yummy, he spat it out and continued to run after Rong Yi.
Rong Yi’s eye corner twitched and he said quickly, “Hold your breath and see if it is useful.”
The two men took a deep breath and then held their breath.
But the child had too much higher cultivation and them holding their breath was useless.
He threw himself happily on Rong Yi’s back and inspired some air facing his neck.
Rong Yi was worried that the kid would bite him, so he grabbed the child and threw him to the ground, “The kid is breathing, he is not completely a zombie.”
“Then what is he?”
“Probably a half zombie.” Rong Yi thought of the painting in front of the tomb. The woman with a big belly. Maybe he was the child in that woman’s belly. After he was born, he sucked too much corpse qi and yin qi and slowly became a half zombie.
The child who fell to the ground flew up again to pursue Rong Yi.
Rong Yi cried, “Every debt has its debtor. Boy, go and find whoever owes you. It’s not we who killed you. Stop following us!”
Hearing this, the child stopped suddenly.
Seeing he did not move, Rong Yi immediately relieved, urging Yu Bin, “Go, go, go.”
Hearing this, the child moved again.
“Hmm? Why are you chasing us again? Didn’t you hear what I said? Even debt has its debtor. Go and find your own. Leave us alone.”
The child stopped again immediately.
Yu Bin said, “Young master, he seems to listen to you.”
“How is that possible?”
“He will stop when you ask him to.”
“He may know that I am not his enemy, so he stops. It’s not time for this, hurry up. Let’s get out of here.”
The child went moving again triggered by the words ‘hurry up’.
Rong Yi was confused, “Why does he move again?”
Yu Bin answered, “Young master, you can try again and order him not to follow us.”
Rong Yi shouted to the child, “Stop.”
The child stopped immediately.
“Gee, it really works. So strange. How is it possible he listens to me?” Rong Yi ordered the child again, “Squat down.”
The child crouched down quickly.
Rong Yi then said, “Stand up and then squat.”
The child just did exactly as what he said.
“He really listens to me.” Rong Yi didn’t know this child at all, besides, the boy had high cultivation, so he would never listen to him without any reason.
He thought for a moment and said excitedly, “I know what’s going on.”
