Chapter 778
The Core of the Formation!
At present, it seems that it is not yet clear what Tang Long's idea is.
But for Master Jiang, since he had already made up his mind about this matter, he would just observe and wait.
As for the butler...
Although it still seems that something is still a little off.
But he didn't say anything.
After all, I don't know exactly what the other party is planning.
But there's no need for me to delve into this matter.
As long as this matter remains under my control, that's fine.
Master Jiang naturally didn't care about that either.
"Now that you're back, you should go and get some rest!"
Master Jiang waved his hand, indicating that the butler could go back and rest.
He didn't want to delve into what the butler was up to.
Upon hearing Master Jiang's words, the butler breathed a sigh of relief, as he had initially thought that this matter would be difficult to deceive.
But surprisingly, Master Jiang let it go so easily!
What a surprise!
Butler Jiang originally thought that she couldn't just let it go with a few simple words.
After all, at present, it would really arouse suspicion if he went to see Tang Long.
However, since Master Jiang didn't say anything, the steward certainly wouldn't say anything at this point either.
He nodded, then immediately said, "Yes, I understand, sir. I will be more careful from now on!"
After Butler Jiang left, a cold smile flashed across Master Jiang's face as he watched his departing figure.
Meanwhile, Butler Jiang, who had just returned to her room, was also pondering how to get rid of Tang Long.
The conventional methods are definitely not going to work.
However...
We'll find that guy's weakness eventually!
Butler Jiang knew very well that she needed to plan this matter carefully.
But the key issue is that it seems like we don't have much time left. If we can't find a solution soon, then we're probably really doomed.
Thinking of this, Butler Jiang immediately had some ideas in mind.
Perhaps, for him, this is something he can really give it a try, even though it might be a little dangerous.
But now, as long as Tang Long isn't dealt with...
Then the threat to oneself cannot be resolved.
So even though Butler Jiang knew it was dangerous, she still felt she had to do it.
Immediately, he began to make plans.
Once you've done it, there's no going back.
And the next day.
On the flying sword, Ren Tingting and the others, gazing at the dawn, asked curiously, "Master, have you found it?!"
We've been searching for a while now.
I originally thought this matter would be resolved quickly.
However, to everyone's surprise, Bai Ye's search this time took so long.
"That zombie can turn invisible and hide its presence, so its movements might be intermittent at times, but it should be in this vicinity!"
Bai Ye nodded. Based on his senses, he roughly knew that it was probably in this vicinity.
It's unlikely to be anywhere else.
After all, if they were really in the same place, the yin energy here wouldn't be so strong.
However, to be fair, this zombie king is actually quite intelligent.
It's estimated that they realized they were being followed when they left.
After all, he's the Zombie King; there will definitely be people following him, and they can't just let him go unchecked.
Fortunately, I have a strong sense of perception.
Otherwise, finding this zombie king would probably be quite difficult.
However, even if the other party concealed their aura, some traces of their aura would still be revealed, so by following these revealed traces, they eventually converged on this place.
"but."
Bai Ye frowned, gazing down at the scene below, a sense of absurdity suddenly welling up within him.
this.
That can't be right!
"What's wrong, Master?!"
Seeing Bai Ye's furrowed brows, Ren Tingting and the others couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity.
Bai Ye suddenly frowned, which looked quite strange.
"Something's wrong. There's actually a special kind of dragon vein down here?! There's a dragon vein here too? Did that zombie swallow it, or was it originally this dragon vein?!"
Bai Ye frowned, a hint of doubt suddenly arising in his mind.
There's even the aura of a dragon vein here!?
He didn't know whether the zombies brought it here or if it was already there.
If it's because it was already there.
It seems like I'm actually quite lucky here.
I can't believe I ran into this thing here.
Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, the others couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in their eyes. "Master, there's a dragon vein here too!?"
This is a very big deal!
I never imagined there was a dragon vein here!
It seems like dragon veins appear everywhere I go.
Are you suggesting that dragon veins are as common as cabbages, readily available everywhere?!
"I don't know, but since there's a dragon vein here, that's perfect."
Bai Ye shook his head, regardless of the true nature of this dragon vein.
Whether it was brought by zombies or something else, since it's already here, we might as well take it.
We're only a few dragon veins away from completing the collection.
We got it here, then there was the Miao region, and then Uncle Jiu said there was another piece.
Judging from this, it seems like we're almost there.
Bai Ye controlled the flying sword as it descended from above.
Outside the town, when Bai Ye stepped inside, he sensed something eerie.
"This place is quite strange."
Snowflake muttered something, then looked at Bai Ye and said, "It's clearly a town full of living people, but right now it always exudes a strange atmosphere."
It's like... this place is practically a dead town!!!
The reason why Snowflakes felt this place was eerie was precisely because of this one reason.
I feel like this place is strange; it looks like a town full of people.
But strange things happen everywhere.
"Is Tengteng Town like that?! But aren't there living people here?!"
Upon hearing Xuehua's words, Ren Tingting immediately thought of Tengteng Town.
But she also felt that something was not quite right.
Almost everyone here is alive; I didn't see any dead people.
"But it does seem a bit like that. The people here are still alive, but they're like walking corpses!!!" Ren Tingting looked at the group of people with numb faces in front of her and didn't know what to say for a moment.
It felt like these people were still alive, but it wasn't much different from them being dead.
This disparity left Ren Tingting with an indescribable feeling.
"Actually, they are living dead. There seems to be a formation hidden below. People living here will eventually have their life force drained by this formation, causing them to become living dead as well."
Here
It seems something happened before; no wonder the people here are acting like this!
Bai Ye explained that he had indeed seen what was happening here, and a strange feeling had arisen in his heart.
Then, after a moment's thought, he realized what was going on.
Looking at this incident, it's no wonder things were the way they were before.
Feeling the underground formation, it directly covered the entire town.
Anyone who settles down here will be affected by this formation.
However, this formation is not without its advantages; at least the people living here are not usually affected by evil spirits.
But the yin energy here is indeed heavier, which seems to be due to those influences.
From this perspective, Bai Ye also had an idea in mind.
They probably realized what was going on.
This formation isn't a good one. Although it protects the people here, it's actually designed to absorb their life force.
After all, if people here are constantly harassed and can't make a living, then no one would choose to live here anymore, right?
Looking at it this way, it's clear that this is the purpose.
"So everyone here is a living dead?! Doesn't that mean there's some kind of evil here?!"
Ren Zhuzhu asked curiously.
Ren Tingting nodded repeatedly, thinking that it really might not be impossible.
After all, given the current situation, if such a formation has been set up here, what else could it be but an evil path?!
Having experienced something like this before, Ren Tingting deeply abhorred it.
Isn't that how my grandfather turned into a zombie?!
My family almost got wiped out back then.
"Not necessarily. This formation has been in place for many years. It wasn't set up in recent years, but many years ago, at least several hundred years ago. The people here probably won't live past forty."
It looks like someone here is draining the life force of others.
Is it a dragon vein?!
impossible!
It's impossible for a dragon vein to set up an array for itself, or is it someone guarding the dragon vein?!
So, if the person guarding the dragon vein is thinking of reviving it?!
That's strange.
Bai Ye muttered to himself, thinking that none of these guesses seemed to fit together.
Whether it's to revive the dragon vein or something else, these motives seem completely out of the ordinary.
"Dragon veins cannot directly absorb a person's life force unless someone uses a dragon vein to nourish themselves, and the dragon vein takes the opportunity to devour that person's life force. From this perspective, it is possible that someone used a dragon vein to cultivate in the past."
However, those who can cultivate using the dragon veins are likely those who know the techniques to seal the dragon veins and can break the seal. Judging from this, it is very likely that they are stealing from the place they are guarding.
It seems the problem lies here. Whether this person is still alive, whether the dragon vein still exists—these questions need to be addressed. And it seems the Zombie King is also here.
Bai Ye finally summarized the information and came to a final conclusion.
Although that seems a bit far-fetched, upon closer reflection, it seems to be the most likely explanation.
"The Jiang family?"
Based on the plot of "The Great Zombie Era," it's highly likely that the source is the Jiang family.
If that's true, then I should go to the Jiang family first.
After all, the zombie king should be hiding over there.
According to the plot, the zombie king was definitely injured after fighting the Taoist priest, so he was recuperating and would take action again after he recovered.
"Come on, follow me!!"
After Bai Ye finished speaking, the group followed and walked along the road. In this town, the people were numb, and many of them were looking at Ren Tingting and the others with evil expressions.
Obviously, there aren't that many beautiful women here.
Xuehua and the others who came with Bai Ye are all top-tier beauties!
This has naturally attracted a lot of attention.
However, no one dared to step forward rashly, mainly because Bai Ye and the others were dressed in a rather intimidating manner.
The main reason lies in the flying swords surrounding Bai Ye.
Holy crap!?
A deity has arrived?!
The sword kept flying around Bai Ye, and no one dared to go up to it!
And this was something Bai Ye did on purpose.
After arriving here, I realized that something was wrong.
How could Bai Ye not make any preparations at all?!
"Master, the people here..."
Ren Tingting frowned. Looking around at everything, she felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Although those people didn't dare to do anything, their scrutinizing gazes made her very uncomfortable.
"Never mind, let's resolve this as soon as possible and then leave."
Bai Ye waved his hand, pretending not to see it.
Indiscriminately injuring others will damage one's own karma, so as long as these people don't come up, I won't do anything.
Ren Tingting and the others didn't say anything about it.
They followed them all the way to the Jiang family's house.
At this moment, the entrance to the Jiang residence is decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers.
As a well-known and influential family in this area, the Jiang family, despite their strange circumstances, naturally attracts many people eager to curry favor with them due to their power and influence.
"Is Master here?!"
"Yes, the formation is right here. It seems my guess was correct!"
Bai Ye nodded, looking at the Jiang residence before him.
It's clear that the plot is the same as in the movie, but there are also some derivative works.
There's a high probability that there's more than just one zombie behind here.
Moreover, there is a formation below this.
"An array?! A dragon vein! Master actually placed his home on a dragon vein!?"
As they were talking, the gate of the Jiang family opened. Looking through the gate, Butler Jiang was startled when he saw the group of people in front of him.
The main reason was that they were frightened by the flying sword on Bai Ye's body.
Not a buddy?!?
Aren't you just scaring people?!
Starting yesterday, I almost died, and when I came back, I almost got seen through by Master Jiang. Now that I'm back, I immediately see a man playing with a flying sword.
no?!
What on earth am I going through every day?!
It's completely different from what I expected!
"What's wrong?!"
Butler Jiang took a deep breath.
I didn't think about anything else. Anyway, judging from the current situation, it doesn't seem like a bad thing.
Given their situation, it's clear they're unlikely to be looking for trouble.
I just don't know if this will affect my future plans. (End of Chapter)
