Things Cannot Be Eaten Randomly

"Something big has happened..."

Qin Yang's forehead was sweating, the pressure doubled. The two Ink Talismans in his hand used the power within the Ink Talismans themselves, so the impact wasn't too great.

The Shangqing Cloud Piercing Lightning Guiding Secret Method, which uses one's own power to leverage the power of heaven and earth, was completely useless here, utterly defunct...

Lightning techniques have always been the bane of ghosts, evil spirits, and zombies, their power far exceeding the secret methods themselves. He had originally thought he could use the Lightning Attraction Secret Technique to hold out, but now...

He was truly going to die...

This zombie One-Eyed Ape had no intelligence, only instinct. Yet it possessed immense strength and incredible speed, and its body was probably as hard as refined steel, not easily damaged. Without a way to restrain it, a Foundation Establishment cultivator had no chance.

Moreover, running like this wasn't a solution. He would be caught in less than a dozen breaths...

"Roar..."

A muffled wail came as the zombie ape bared its fangs, its face twisted in a ferocious expression. A dark divine light flowed in its single eye. In the blink of an eye, a beam of black light as thick as an arm spanned the distance between them, slamming into the runic barrier with a bang...

Qin Yang's body was covered in goosebumps, his mind reeling. Almost instinctively, he shifted his body, and the runic light screen surrounding him shattered with a bang. The Ink Talisman scroll also turned to dust. The black beam brushed past his ear and slammed into the wall in the distance...

Complex Dao patterns on the wall rippled, a faint halo hovering on the surface, holding out against the black light for a full breath. Only after the black light dissipated did the wall return to normal...

"Are you kidding me? This big, clumsy thing, with no intelligence, looking like nothing but a melee cannon fodder, can actually launch ranged attacks?" Qin Yang's eyes twitched wildly, nearly scaring him to pee.

He had thought the runic barrier could withstand at least one blow, but it was instantly pierced, and even the Ink Talisman itself couldn't withstand that terrifying power, instantly turning to dust.

Having lost his greatest means of defense, if the zombie ape touched him even once, he could happily say goodbye...

While running, Qin Yang's mind raced, searching for a way to break the situation. He thought and thought, but still had no clue. This thing had no intelligence, only pure instinct. Reasoning with it was impossible. Even if Bao Yu were here, it would probably be torn apart by the zombie ape...

"Only instinct?" Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Qin Yang's mind...

Seeing the zombie ape getting closer and closer, Qin Yang almost instinctively threw something out.

He threw out a jade bottle, and the zombie ape smashed it with a casual slap. A dozen or so Pills scattered out. The ape sniffed, opened its mouth, and sucked in the Pills, swallowing them all.

This ape could eat Pills?

A trace of doubt flashed by, but Qin Yang had no time to think. He took out a piece of Yin Wood, shrouded in Yin energy, and threw it out.

It was also swallowed by the ape.

Then he threw out a spiritual herb with dense Yin energy, picked from the Nether Acacia Ghost Tomb. The ape didn't refuse, swallowing it in one gulp...

Seeing this, the corners of Qin Yang's mouth curled up slightly, and he whispered, "Big guy, open your mouth."

As soon as he spoke, Qin Yang waved his hand and scattered a large pile of materials, mostly low-level materials and spiritual herbs that he had casually picked up when he occasionally entered and exited the Nether Acacia Ghost Tomb.

The zombie ape still opened its mouth and sucked, and all the random things in the sky were sucked into its stomach in one gulp.

But it didn't see that when a wooden box stained with Yin energy was stirred and cracked, a faint blue light emerged from the crack.

In an instant, the zombie ape's death energy spewed out, almost boiling. The black light in its single eye shone, and a beam of black light spewed out, heading straight for Qin Yang's heart.

Qin Yang stepped on the Gang steps, predicting the trajectory of the black light, and avoided it. It was this one step that allowed the zombie ape to instantly close the distance to only three zhang.

"Roar..."

The zombie ape's face was ferocious, roaring repeatedly. The Corpse Poison on its body was like boiling smoke, spewing out and soaring into the sky. The Corpse Poison rolled and swept out, looking extremely terrifying.

Qin Yang was the first to bear the brunt, impacted by the rolling Corpse Qi, and was blown away on the spot. The Buddha's silhouette within the Blood Lama became increasingly clear, a mumbling Zen sound, seemingly there and not there, overflowed from within the Blood Lama, resisting the erosion of the corpse.

The Yi Wood Essence crystal held under his tongue spewed out an even richer Yi Wood Essence, penetrated Qin Yang's entire body, dispelling the Corpse Qi entering his body.

After rolling several times, Qin Yang crashed into the wall with a bang, spitting out a large amount of blood mist, but the blood mist withered and dissipated in an instant. In an instant, Qin Yang's face turned blue and purple, even fangs emerged from his mouth, a bloody light flickered in his eyes, and his fingernails turned blue-black and grew wildly...

This is Corpse Poisoning...

Qin Yang didn't care about the situation in his body and hurriedly looked up, only to see the zombie ape standing in place, looking like it was going crazy, its single eye radiating black light, and the Corpse Qi rolling out of its body even more violently.

"Roar..."

A low roar sounded like a wail, the zombie ape's movements became slower and slower, until it finally froze in place, a layer of dim yellow halo appeared on its body surface, and in an instant, it flowed all over its body. In just one or two breaths, the zombie ape completely turned into a dry clay sculpture, standing in place...

"Crack..."

On the surface of the dry clay sculpture, a crack exploded, and a plant seedling emerged from the crack, as if it had triggered a chain reaction. The cracking sound was endless, and one after another crisp plant seedlings broke through the cracks and emerged.

The emerald green color rapidly enveloped the entire dry clay sculpture, enclosing it within. From a distance, it looked like a messy, extremely lush bonsai standing in place.

"Boom..."

The clay sculpture collapsed and dissipated, and all the emerald green plants turned into fly ash. In the ashes, a Yi Wood Essence crystal fell to the ground, emitting a series of crisp clangs.

"It's better not to eat some things randomly..." Qin Yang leaned against the wall, breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to continuously urge the Blood Lama and the Yi Wood Essence crystal to expel the Corpse Qi invading his body and repair the damaged body.

After a while, Qin Yang opened his mouth and spat out a black blood clot emitting a foul odor, which fell to the ground. Only then did Qin Yang's complexion return to normal, his fangs shrank back and disappeared, and the blue-black fingernails that had grown out also dissipated...

Standing up, picking up the Yi Wood Essence crystal that had dimmed a lot, Qin Yang continued to walk inward.

After turning another street corner, Qin Yang's face suddenly changed.

Five zombie apes were squatting on the road ahead. On the roof next to them, zombie apes emerged. In the blink of an eye, he was surrounded by at least forty or fifty zombie apes, each with a single eye, emitting a cold light, coldly watching Qin Yang.

The gate of a three-story building in front was wide open, and a monster with a single horn on its forehead, a bull's hoof and a human body, three zhang tall, and an iron-blue body walked out from inside. With one step, an overwhelming aura surged, and the air suddenly solidified.

Illusions arose before Qin Yang's eyes. He saw a Single-Horned Azure Ox coming, with a sea of blood surging behind it, turning into a ten-thousand-zhang tsunami. Countless corpses floated in the sea of blood, and a strong bloody smell penetrated his nose, rushing straight into his soul...

His eyes blurred, and when he looked again, all the illusions disappeared. This monster with a terrifying aura stood in the center, staring coldly at Qin Yang.

Qin Yang swallowed hard, secretly thinking that this time he was in mortal danger, and could only fight to the death!

"Big brother, don't do anything, we're on the same side."
