Facing the Flying Zombie

Chapter 161 Facing the Flying Zombie (Part 2)

Chen Miao returned at 1 p.m.

Seeing that the two of them were looking at him, Chen Miao smiled and nodded.

"feasible."

For some reason, looking at Chen Miao's smile, the two of them felt that this matter was not so difficult after all.

"What's next?"

Chen Miao glanced at the time and said, "Let's get started. Let's finish this before dark."

Seeing that the two had no objections, Chen Miao began to make arrangements.

"Before we begin, we need to move the body I've already disposed of into an empty house."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid it might harm innocent people later."

Qi Ning and Zhong Cai had no objections.

Just before setting off, Qi Ning suddenly noticed something and asked, "Chen Miao, where's your peach wood sword?"

Chen Miao smiled and said, "There are arrangements."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Cai looked puzzled, but still didn't ask.

The three of them quickly got to work.

They first 'smuggled' Chen Miao's body from the house where people were staying, and after placing it in the room Chen Miao had chosen, they began the next step of their plan.

Destroy the corpse-dissolving curse at the bottom of the coffin!

Including the corpse-dissolving curse at the bottom of the coffin where Chen Miao's substitute corpse is located, all the corpse-dissolving curses at the bottom of all coffins need to be destroyed!
Chen Miao had previously asked Zhong Cai, and the corpse began to emit corpse energy at night.

Therefore, even if Chen Miao and his group broke the Corpse Transformation Curse during the day, the corpse energy in the entire underground feng shui network would not change as a result.

Chen Miao has already confirmed this point in his book.

As for the corpses, Chen Miao didn't let Zhong Cai and the others touch them.

If these zombies are disturbed, that zombie will immediately come out, thus ruining Chen Miao's plan.

What Chen Miao needed was for the flying zombie to sense that someone was competing with him for the corpse energy.

We need flying zombies to find that 'person'.

If they come out prematurely, it will be an indiscriminate attack, and everything Chen Miao has done will be in vain.

However, to prevent the corpses from being controlled by the flying zombie at night and hindering their actions, these corpses still need to be disposed of.

Chen Miao took out all his ordinary spirit-suppressing talismans, and together with the ones Zhong Cai and Qi Ning had, he had a total of twenty ordinary spirit-suppressing talismans!

At this time, it's not a matter of saving talismans.

Twenty spirit-suppressing talismans can only deal with twenty corpses, leaving nine corpses remaining.

Fortunately, the Devil May Cry spray can also achieve some effect.

Simply spraying the Ghost Cry Spray on the coffin lid will prevent the zombies from breaking out of the coffin for a certain period of time.

Although this method is not sustainable, Chen Miao doesn't need it for long either, since a real battle only lasts a few minutes.

To make things safer, Zhong Cai made a suggestion.

Nail coffin nails into those coffins!
Every household in these villages has coffin nails, presumably in preparation for the burial later.

Chen Miao agreed with this approach.

After that, the three worked together. One of them pretended to ask for directions and led the old man to the door, while the other two went inside to do their work.

Because nailing the coffin nails was quite a commotion, it was assigned to Qi Ning, who was the strongest and would not be directly confronted by the flying zombies afterward.

Each coffin was nailed to only four corners. After all this work, two hours had passed by the time all the corpses in the coffins were covered with spirit-suppressing talismans and sprayed with ghost-crying spray to break the corpse-dissolving curse.

Although they were tired, everyone breathed a sigh of relief after finishing.

After everything was done, Chen Miao told Qi Ning to take his place at the village entrance.

Both parties agreed on a time: 6 PM sharp!

It was almost nightfall, and the timing was perfect.

As for Zhong Cai, Chen Miao arranged for him to lie in another empty coffin in the room, holding his own Seven Star Peach Wood Sword.

When Chen Miao told Zhong Cai the news, even though Zhong Cai trusted Chen Miao a lot, he felt a little uneasy.

Is it really okay to do this?
According to Chen Miao's plan, the zombie would come directly to him. What if the zombie made a mistake and opened his coffin first?
Is it because of the peach wood sword in his hand?
What a joke!
"Brother, do you believe me?"

Zhong Cai looked at Chen Miao, and his heart wavered.

Should we believe it?
Should we not believe it?

Zhong Cai thought of Xiao Bai and decided to trust her.

Seeing Zhong Cai nod, Chen Miao said:
"Alright, then you lie down in there, brother. At six o'clock sharp, use the concealment spray and the yang-suppressing talisman. Once you hear the bell, be ready to act!"

"But remember, no matter how loud the commotion outside is, only push open the coffin lid and come out after you hear my instruction to come out, and then attack the zombie next to you."

"do you understand?"

Looking at the coffin lid, which had been hollowed out, Zhong Cai finally understood why Chen Miao had asked Qi Ning to do this.

After trying it and confirming that he could push it away, Zhong Cai nodded.

After watching Zhong Cai lie down, Chen Miao took out a lot of dried flowers.

Zhong Cai didn't know why Chen Miao had put out these dried flowers, but he didn't ask any further questions.

Actually, these dried flowers are the key.

If these dried flowers hadn't been placed in the coffin, Chen Miao wouldn't know which coffin lid the flying zombie would have opened.

But with this bunch of dried flowers, it's 100% guaranteed to reveal something else.

This was a detail Chen Miao had read in a book. He hadn't expected that such a strange custom in the mountains could have such an effect.

The old man who had told them about the customs of Fengmen Village had said that placing dried flowers was to "reserve a spot" and prevent evil spirits from entering the coffin.

But why would it affect the judgment of that flying zombie?
Chen Miao felt that this might be related to the state of the flying zombie.

Previous chapters have shown that the flying zombie can talk and holds grudges.

Based on this, Chen Miao concluded that the flying zombie possessed a certain level of intelligence.

If that flying zombie was originally from Fengmen Village or a nearby village, then it's quite normal for him to know this custom.

As for how to determine if there are dried flowers in the coffin, it should be related to the smell of the dried flowers.

Chen Miao observed the coffins in the other empty houses. Those containing dried flowers all had a faint fragrance when opened.

Presumably, that flying zombie used this to make its judgment.

To ensure everything went smoothly, Chen Miao specially found many dried flowers with a faint scent and placed them in Zhong Cai's coffin to guarantee Zhong Cai's safety.

After closing the coffin lid, Chen Miao glanced at the time.

Five p.m.

Before we knew it, there was only one hour left until the agreed time.

Chen Miao went up to the second floor, waved at Qi Ning from the window, and after confirming that Qi Ning saw him, he went back to his room.

Chen Miao took out the exquisite love charms he had just drawn that day and placed them on the table. He hadn't expected that he would use two of these love charms, which he would never need nine times out of ten.

The regular one had already been used in the testing process and achieved the effect Chen Miao wanted, but it wasn't good enough.

Therefore, Chen Miao spared no expense, spending two coins of Yin virtue to replenish the talisman paper and cinnabar, and drew a fine-quality Heart-to-Heart Talisman.

Incidentally, I also drew a high-quality Bloodlight Talisman and two high-quality Spirit Suppression Talismans!

The premium Bloodlight Talisman has been placed in its proper place. One premium Spirit Suppression Talisman was given to Zhong Cai, and Chen Miao himself still has five. Chen Miao has also used the original premium Corpse Control Talisman to achieve the best effect.

It can be said that Chen Miao not only cleared out his ordinary spirit-suppressing talismans for this final battle, but also made clear arrangements for all the high-quality talismans in his possession.

Although it hurts, aren't all these talismans I've accumulated over the years meant to be useful someday?
Otherwise, there's no point in accumulating them.

Slowly exhaling, Chen Miao took the bucket of black dog blood out of the book and placed it by the bedside.

He then lay down on the bed with the love charm and the corpse-controlling bell.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Chen Miao's thoughts went from initial random thoughts to reminiscing about the past, and finally to a state of calm.

When the time came to 5:55.

Chen Miao went downstairs and finished what she hadn't done. When she returned to bed, it was already 5:58.

Chen Miao used his still unhealed fingers to activate the substitute curse on his body.

Then, he stuffed the exquisite concentric talisman, folded into a triangle, into his mouth, establishing a second link with the corpse.

Finally, he dipped his left hand into the bucket of black dog blood.

A hissing sound rang out, but Chen Miao's dark eyes showed no reaction.

This was the best method Chen Miao could think of that could consume the corpse energy without damaging his body.

At the same time, Qi Ning had already placed the soul-suppressing spirit tablet on the stone.

If Chen Miao could still see that vast underground network at this moment, he would notice the changes.

The yin energy gathered in the feng shui formation beneath Fengmen Village never flowed out again after passing through the major node where the stone was located.

The light from the hundreds of nodes in the second feng shui formation began to dim.

Of these hundreds of nodes, the thirty nodes that originally output corpse energy all stopped working.

Soon, a node began to absorb the corpse energy in reverse!
Although the rate of absorbing corpse energy is not very fast, it is stable!

Not long after, the remaining corpse energy in the underground network, due to the shutdown of the second feng shui formation, was suddenly divided into two parts, each heading in a different direction.

One is the room where Chen Miao is.

One is an open space on the west side of the village.

Soon, the remaining corpse energy in the underground feng shui network was completely absorbed by the two suction forces.

Next came the struggle between the two suction forces.

The force lasted for less than half a minute before the suction from the open space to the west gained the upper hand.

Chen Miao sensed it, but he wasn't in a hurry.

This amount of corpse energy is not enough to satisfy the other party, and the other party will not allow anyone to compete with him for corpse energy.

Unsurprisingly, the suction force in the underground network disappeared after they had gained the upper hand for only half a minute.

Chen Miao, Qi Ning, and Zhong Cai all heard a muffled thud that wasn't quiet; all the talismans that needed to be activated had been activated.

At the same time, the nine corpses in the village that were not suppressed by the spirit-suppressing talisman began to frantically ram against the coffin.

Chen Miao knew what had happened, but Zhong Cai didn't, and couldn't see it either.

Qi Ning, standing at the village entrance, witnessed all of this in the light that was not yet completely dark.

Watching the figure rise into the air and then fall back down, even though Qi Ning had activated the Suppressing Yang Talisman and sprayed invisibility spray, his face was still somewhat pale.

Just then, he saw the figure that had just fallen down again.

Watching him leap more than ten meters, stepping over houses and heading towards the back of the village.

Qi Ning knew which direction the thing had gone, and immediately he set off in that direction.

But just then, Qi Ning met those pale green eyes from afar.

Even at a distance of 100 meters, Qi Ning's body stiffened.

By the time he came to his senses, the figure had already disappeared into some part of the village.

Qi Ning involuntarily took a half step back, but then he continued to rush forward.

Because he was thinking about his fate after Chen Miao and Zhong Cai died.

……

Bang!
A faint thud reached Chen Miao's ears from outside the second-floor window.

"coming!"

Chen Miao closed his eyes, his senses spreading out.

His perception range was just enough to cover the two coffins below.

At this moment, he could not perceive anything other than the coffin.

Chen Miao waited quietly, knowing that soon he would see the figure who had defeated him so many times in the book.

At one moment, the lines of a foot entered his perception.

Although this unfinished flying zombie failed to advance, it still possessed some of the characteristics of a flying zombie.

For example, they can walk like a normal person.

For example, apart from the initial sound of the foot landing, there was no further sound of movement.

As the figure burst in, Chen Miao's hand tightened around the Corpse Control Bell.

When the figure stopped in front of the two coffins, Chen Miao's heart jumped.

At this moment, a jumble of chaotic thoughts involuntarily arose in his mind.

What if the content of the book changes temporarily?
What if the unfinished flying zombie below opens Zhong Cai's coffin?
in case……

Chen Miao felt his mind becoming increasingly chaotic; this wouldn't do!
He immediately put away his negative emotions, and in an instant, Chen Miao returned to normal.

During this brief respite, under the influence of Bingxin's influence, his mind calmed down, and he began to observe the situation below once again.

Soon, he saw the other person move.

The unfinished flying zombie walked to the coffin where the substitute corpse was located.

Before Chen Miao could even breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the hand of the half-finished flying zombie placed on the coffin lid.

With a sudden tightening in his chest, Chen Miao instantly raised the bell in his hand.

Just then, the unfinished flying zombie below had already blown the coffin lid off.

With a loud bang, the corpse-controlling bell in Chen Miao's hand shook violently!

Bell~
Ringing~
A strange fluctuation was transmitted to the body of the substitute corpse below. Just as the substitute corpse was about to raise its right hand, Chen Miao also felt the pulling force coming from his right arm.

He immediately changed the way he raised his right hand.

He flipped his hand over and made a grasping motion in the empty space on the bed, as if he had grabbed something.

Immediately afterward, as he sensed the jumping zombie leaning towards the coffin, Chen Miao raised his right hand and made a stabbing motion towards the wall to the right of his bed.

"Roar!"

A roar came from below. Chen Miao threw away the bell, quickly turned around, grabbed the twenty incense sticks he had prepared beforehand, and lit them!

"Bright and radiant, the sun rises in the east. Where the divine power descends to burn, all ghosts lie in hiding. Those who dare to offend will be reduced to dust and frost. With a single sweep of divine might, misfortune will be forever suppressed!"

Downstairs, the flying zombie had already grabbed the substitute's neck and dragged it out of the coffin.

Upstairs, thick incense smoke swirled around Chen Miao, seeping into the love charm he was holding!
At the same time, an even more ferocious roar came from below.

Chen Miao spat out the talisman from the side of his mouth and shouted as he ran downhill, "Make your move!"

Bang!
Although he didn't hear the sound of the bell, Zhong Cai, who had been preparing for a long time, immediately lifted the coffin lid and stood up after hearing Chen Miao's roar.

The scene that caught his eye sent chills down his spine!

A figure with disheveled hair, green eyes, and bluish-black skin flung the corpse in the coffin next door and the peach wood sword that was flashing red light away.

All around, thick smoke was billowing out from the flying corpses, heading straight for the chest of the disheveled figure.

This scene looks so familiar.

Zhong Cai activated the Evil-Slaying Talisman and the Bloodlight Talisman, and stabbed at the unfinished flying zombie.

Just then, Zhong Cai suddenly remembered Chen Miao's words of advice.

The moment that unfinished flying zombie turned its head, he closed his eyes.

Pfft!

With a single thrust, Zhong Cai released his grip and performed a backflip.

During the process, he stomped hard on the hilt of the sword with his right foot.

Landed, opened eyes.

Zhong Cai saw the peach wood sword that had pierced through his body.

But before Zhong Cai could even smile, his face darkened.

His sword was broken into three pieces by that thing!
