Chapter 276: Chapter 276: Full of It

"Let’s go and have a look."

Since there were maggots here, the corpse should not be far away.

Yi Rong struggled to maintain the flame, and as they all took a few steps forward, indeed, they saw a body lying prostrate.

Wu Zi’an was very brave and strode over.

But just as he reached the side of the corpse, whoosh, the flame went out again.

"I really can’t hold on any longer," Yi Rong said weakly.

What now?

Hum, at that moment, a strong light appeared and shone on Wu Zi’an.

"Fuck, my eyes!" Wu Zi’an cried out in agony, quickly shielding his face with his hands, but tears still involuntarily streamed down, "Who, who the hell is shining this on me?"

In front of his four female companions, he always cared about his image, and even when he had criticized Shi Hao earlier, he hadn’t sworn, but now this light was just too damn wicked, leaving his vision full of spots and tears shooting out, truly unbearable.

Meanwhile, the others turned their gaze towards Shi Hao, because it was indeed Shi Hao’s right hand that emitted the beam of intense light, as strong as the sunlight.

This guy... he actually possessed the exceedingly rare Light Spirit Root!

In terms of rarity among Spirit Roots, the Light Spirit Root was definitely above the Thunder Spirit Root, but as rare as this Spirit Root was, it didn’t have much practical use.

—It was only now, at this time, that it could be used to shed some light, what else?

Wu Zi’an dodged the beam of light, giving his eyes some time to adjust, then, the beam moved slightly and hit him right in the face again.

This!

Wu Zi’an couldn’t help twitching at the corner of his mouth and shouted, "Shi Hao, move the light away quickly!"

Shi Hao ignored him and continued to beam right at his face.

Fuck!

Wu Zi’an was shocked. What kind of player was this?

One who specialized in irritating others?

Shi Hao smiled faintly. Why should he be doused with dirty water for no reason?

"Shi Hao!"

"Forget it, let’s first check out this corpse."

"Right, right, right."

The others also quickly advised, and even the four men’s attitudes towards Shi Hao changed a lot.

In this pitch-dark place, Martial Artists with a Light Spirit Root or a Fire Spirit Root were highly sought after.

In fact, the Light Spirit Root was even more desirable since its sole specialty was "illumination", unlike the Fire Spirit Root, where illumination was secondary, and hurting the enemy was the main function.

Therefore, even if Shi Hao and Yi Rong had the same level of cultivation, the duration of illumination would definitely be longer for Shi Hao, and moreover, if the two of them worked together, with one resting and the other illuminating, they could increase their chances of survival here.

Swish, the beam of light shifted a little.

Wu Zi’an breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his hands, but just then, his vision blurred and he felt an intense sting once again.

Damn it, he got beamed in the face again.

Wu Zi’an was speechless at first, then furious: "Bastard, I’m going to kill you!"

Shi Hao chuckled, and with a thought, the light beam flickered on and off, changing dozens of times in an instant.

Wu Zi’an was in for a tragedy.

Even with his face covered by hands and eyes tightly closed, he could still feel the whole world’s malice towards him, the flickering light causing dizziness and a strong urge to vomit.

"Blargh!" He couldn’t hold back anymore and leaned over to vomit violently.

Only then did Shi Hao keep the beam steady and shifted it back to the previously discovered corpse.

Everyone gasped, hiss, this guy’s sense of retaliation was so intense.

Shi Hao didn’t pay attention to them and marched forward, his eyes fixed on the corpse, showing surprise, as the body was very "fresh," looking as if it had only been dead for a few years.

The corpse was clad in armor, which, due to the long passage of time, was covered in rust, giving it a mottled appearance.

Holes eaten away by decay marred his face, revealing patches of red and white.

The red was flesh, the white was... maggots.

Yi Rong and the others also came over, stopping to gape at the sight.

"This place must have been sealed off for thousands of years, and even if the lack of air circulation here greatly slowed the decay of the corpse, it shouldn’t still look like this after thousands of years, should it?"

"And with all the maggots feeding on it, this body should have turned to dry bones a long time ago."

"It’s really strange."

While everyone was curious, the four women only took a few glances before turning their faces away; the corpse’s eyeballs had fallen out and were hanging on its cheeks, and combined with the holes of decay in its face, it looked incredibly disgusting.

"Shi Hao!" Wu Zi’an had finally recovered a bit. Although his vision was still flashing, he couldn’t help but explode, "I’m going to kill you!"

Shi Hao ignored him; all these people were Soul Nurturers, er, although he was too, he naturally completely overpowered them in terms of combat power.

Seeing that Shi Hao didn’t even bother to acknowledge him, Wu Zi’an naturally became even angrier. He couldn’t help it anymore and threw a punch at Shi Hao.

However, the other four men charged up all at once, stopping him in his tracks.

In this place, they needed Shi Hao.

Wu Zi’an was so angry that he was screaming.

Whoosh, the light beam shone over again, and what’s more, it was even brighter than before.

"Ahh!" Wu Zi’an screamed again. All he could see was white; opening his eyes was like being blind, he couldn’t see anything.

Everyone was at a loss for words, Shi Hao really didn’t like to be at a disadvantage.

"Eh, that corpse, the hand of that corpse seemed to suddenly move!" said Han Feifei, her voice trembling.

"Heh, it must be the maggots," said a man with a laugh.

"Ah!" Yi Rong also exclaimed in surprise, "Its foot also moved a bit."

Everyone looked over; Shi Hao’s light beam also returned to falling on the corpse.

Under the watchful eyes of all, the corpse that was leaning against the wall suddenly jerked its upper body and sat straight up.

Damn!

Was this a case of a corpse transforming?

Hiss, a python as thick as an arm slithered out from the chest of the corpse, hissing at the crowd with its tongue, appearing very fierce as if it had just been startled awake.

The crowd then breathed a sigh of relief. It was just a snake, after all.

Whoosh, a man in red acted, and with a single slash, he decapitated the serpent’s head.

However, with the snake’s tenacious vitality, the headless body thrashed wildly, flinging chunks of rotten flesh about, instantly filling the air with a nauseating stench, causing people to gag.

But at that moment, a hand suddenly shot out, grabbed the snake’s body, and started stuffing it into a mouth.

Crunch, crunch, the snake’s body was bitten off in sections. The stark white teeth were fully exposed to the air, clearly seen crushing the snake’s body and swallowing it down half-masticated.

Hiss!

For a moment, everyone felt a chill run down their spines; their hands and feet involuntarily began to tremble.

Because the one who had struck... was the very corpse itself!

My God, the corpse had come to life and was eating a python raw.

The crowd quickly retreated, now filled with fear, disgust, and confusion.

A resurrection of the dead?

This was far beyond their comprehension.

Shi Hao was also astonished, striving to search his memory for any related information.

The corpse ate quickly, gobbling down the python, and then, it looked towards Shi Hao and the others.

Its eyeballs were dangling on its face, its eye sockets resembled black holes, and several maggots suddenly crawled out.
