Two years later, in a black swamp, the ground lay covered in sludge and bubbles, surrounded by massive trees with only a few tattered leaves remaining.
Mud-caked vines twined around these towering trees, and black miasma swirled between their tomb-like trunks.
All day long, a blue-black glow suffused the place, as though it had never known the light of the sun.
In certain parts of the swamp, zombies appeared, black from head to toe and too slippery to get a grip on. There were many of them, but they were merely black zombies comparable to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Yet with the aid of the miasma here, their strength in battle rivaled that of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Li Yan surveyed his surroundings. They had already been traveling through this place for seventeen days. Although they had not ventured deep into the swamp, they occasionally encountered white zombies comparable to the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Li Yan's squad consisted of eight people, led by a woman at the late Spirit Transformation stage. He was merely one of its members.
They had come here to locate a yin vein belonging to Mosha Hall. According to reports, Mosha Hall was using one such vein to create an army of green-haired zombies.
Once successfully refined, these green-haired zombies would be equivalent to Void Refinement Early Stage cultivators. However, green-haired zombies forcibly refined this way could never advance another inch afterward.
Even so, these green-haired zombies were impervious to blades and spears, and their green hair was reportedly immune to water and fire as well.
Creating such zombies was extremely difficult, however. The Moji Dao Sect estimated that forming a force of twenty would already be a considerable achievement.
But once such a force appeared, casualties on the Moji Dao Sect's side would certainly soar.
