Following the Spirit Bead through the garden of the City Lord's Mansion, they arrived at a room.
But when they got here, the Spirit Bead disappeared, which puzzled Qin Hao greatly.
To be honest, there wasn't a single person inside the City Lord's Mansion, for some reason.
Such a large house, completely silent, inevitably had a somewhat desolate and melancholic atmosphere, and Qin Hao also felt a little scared.
He immediately recalled the rumor from Meifulia that zombies existed in the ruins of this Horror Swamp.
The more Qin Hao thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
"It seems there must be a mechanism in this room."
Qin Hao searched the room carefully, spending a full day and night on the search.
Qin Hao searched every corner of the room thoroughly and finally discovered the mechanism.
The mechanism was hidden in the floor, not on the wall.
If Qin Hao hadn't been so frustrated by his inability to find the mechanism, and hadn't stomped his feet in anger, he really wouldn't have discovered it.
Upon opening the mechanism, the wall slid directly down into the ground, revealing a passage.
The passageway was brightly lit, as if a mechanism had been activated, causing the Qing Tong lamps inside to light up automatically.
Although there was an oil lamp for illumination, Qin Hao still felt a slight eeriness and a bit of coldness.
After walking about 50 meters along the passage, Qin Hao arrived at a large hall.
The main hall houses three bronze statues, representing the Three Pure Ones from ancient China.
Yuanshi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun, and Daode Tianzun.
Qin Hao usually enjoys reading some China books, so he knows a bit about them.
In ancient times, gods existed.
Below the three bronze statues are some characters, all in oracle bone script.
Qin Hao obviously couldn't understand it, but he possessed a system.
Open the system's language learning function and scan these texts.
This time, it took about 10 minutes for the system to transmit this large amount of information to Qin Hao's mind.
Qin Hao felt a wave of dizziness and headache, so he sat down cross-legged and circulated his internal energy to recover.
It took a full half hour to recover, and not only that, Qin Hao instantly felt that his six senses had become even more acute.
It seems that his Mental Power has improved, and even his cultivation level has improved slightly.
"Wow, do these oracle bone inscriptions really have that much power?"
Looking at the oracle bone script again, Qin Hao found that the characters had become easy to understand.
Below the Three Pure Ones is a record that reads, "In the beginning of heaven and earth, the world Chaos. Pangu awoke and then separated heaven and earth."
"Pangu transformed his body into all things, and his essence and blood became the Witch and Demon Clan. The Hongmeng Purple Qi he contained split into three parts, which later formed the Yuanshi Tianzun, the Lingbao Tianzun, and the Daode Tianzun. This is known as the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones."
······
The following records the story of Nuwa creating humans from the Witch and Demon Clan, the subsequent Investiture of the Gods War, and the Journey to the Journey to the West Plan.
At the very end, it reads, "The world has undergone a great upheaval, the Dharma-Ending Age has arrived, immortals have vanished, and the path of cultivation has been severed. 3600 world spaces have been left behind in the world. When the world recovers, these world spaces will also appear!"
Upon seeing this, Qin Hao suddenly felt a sense of disorientation.
Could it be that the reason this Otherworld has been discovered is because the world has been revived?
Just as Qin Hao was racking his brains, he heard a noise behind him.
Turning around, Qin Hao was nearly scared to death.
Behind them, a passageway had become densely packed with corpses.
To be precise, they should be called zombies. These zombies have no good flesh on their bodies; they are all rotten flesh and covered with maggots.
Qin Hao exclaimed "Holy crap!" and then used Different Space to disappear from the spot.
In the Different-Dimensional Space, Qin Hao gagged. He felt that what was truly terrifying was not the zombies themselves, but the maggots on their bodies.
These maggots were all extraordinary, seemingly belonging to the category of demonic beasts. In any case, Qin Hao could sense the powerful aura emanating from each maggot.
These auras all belong to the Beast General Tenth Tier, although they are not particularly strong individually.
But there are just too many of them!
After a while, Qin Hao suppressed the churning in his stomach and carefully examined each zombie.
These zombies are no ordinary creatures either; each one is at least Martial King First Rank.
Among them were some rather powerful individuals, whose strength had reached the Martial Emperor Tenth Rank.
"Holy crap, there really are zombies!"
Qin Hao didn't want to clash with these zombies, especially since they were covered in even more terrifying maggots.
Bypassing the zombies, Qin Hao continued walking along the passage.
The road was full of zombies, wearing tattered armor; they must have been ancient soldiers.
Qin Hao couldn't really tell which dynasty it belonged to.
Along the way, there were swarms of zombies, each covered in maggots.
People with trypophobia would probably faint upon seeing this scene.
Continue walking until you reach the end, where another huge space will appear.
This space contains many alchemy furnaces, and not only that, it also teems with zombies.
Then some zombie kings appeared, resembling zombie leaders. They wore armor, and their bodies were less rotten; at least there were no maggots.
Unbeknownst to Qin Hao, the Different Space he had created lasted for a full 20 minutes, twice as long as before.
But at this point, I simply couldn't hold on any longer.
Qin Hao appeared instantly, thus exposing himself to a vast army of zombies covered in maggots.
"Roar!"
With a roar, all the zombies swarmed towards Qin Hao.
Qin Hao immediately cast Time Stasis, followed by Time Slow, Ice Seal, Ice Cone, and Iron Cage.
After doing all this, Qin Hao quickly activated his Wind Wings, and with Time Acceleration, he flew rapidly towards a huge Qing Tong gate.
As they approached the giant Qing Tong gate, Qin Hao quickly unleashed his Beastification Ability, Beastification Ba Snake).
It was at this moment that the zombies broke free from Qin Hao's chain control skills.
They were about to pounce on Qin Hao, but Qin Hao had already Beastification into a snake, so they all lost interest and turned back into walking corpses.
Qin Hao also realized this; it turned out that all he had to do was transform into a snake.
However, he was still too naive.
The maggots on the zombies suddenly began to swarm and crawl towards Qin Hao.
Upon seeing this, Qin Hao's eyes widened, and he immediately slapped his tail towards the giant Qing Tong gate.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the Qing Tong gate was opened a crack, but it was too small for Qin Hao's enormous serpentine body to pass through.
Fortunately, Qin Hao instantly transformed into human form, which allowed him to carry the object across.
Then it transformed into Ba Snake again, and with another tail, it closed the giant Qing Tong gate.
It must be said that the Strength-Type Ba Snake is truly incredibly strong, even stronger than the Heavenly Giant Python that was killed before.
After closing the giant Qing Tong gate, Qin Hao returned to human form, as maintaining the form of the Ba Snake consumed a great deal of Spiritual Power.
This is why his Beastification Ability is Legendary Rank; otherwise, let alone not having enough Spiritual Power to last this long, he would have been attacked as soon as he encountered those snake-like monsters in the swamp.
Only those with Legendary Rank talent can perfectly Beastification, becoming no different from demonic beasts.
Behind the Qing Tong door was another large hall, but there was no one in the hall, nor were there any zombies.
Qin Hao walked forward along the main hall and found another door with a plaque hanging on it.
The plaque bears the three large characters "Treasure Pavilion" (Treasure Pavilion) written in oracle bone script.
Qin Hao thought to himself that he had finally found the treasure, Spirit Bead as tall as a small mountain, here I come.
However, what Qin Hao didn't realize was that the ceiling above his head was filled with countless humanoid creatures.
Qin Hao had just reached the door when a piercing sound rang out, making him dizzy.
Just before he lost consciousness, he saw a huge bat land in front of him and then bite at his neck.
[Ding: Life Simulation Ended]
When Qin Hao woke up, he still had a look of terror on his face.
In the Life Simulation, on his deathbed, he saw vampire bats, and they were the same size as humans.
"I suppose that's the vampire that the survivor from Meifulia was talking about!"
"Fortunately, I can do Life Simulations, so I already know how to handle it."
With that, Qin Hao Beastification Ba Snake) and rushed towards the Horror Swamp...
