Corpse Recovery Diver
Chapter 373 - 66_5

Chapter 373: Chapter 66_5

But the latter obviously failed, and even whether the former succeeded was still open to question.

Because aside from the mysterious aura, the other party didn’t exert much pressure on his perception.

Li Zhiyuan still remembered that "good friend" of Wei Zhengdao buried under the peach tree at Big Beard’s house,

who, even after turning into a Corpse that was about to dissipate, imposed an indescribable sense of oppression when traversing the Underworld. The twenty skinned, boiled prawns led by Ding Dalin and Secretary Jin were the best proof.

Li Zhiyuan later suspected that perhaps it was because of this connection that for several months afterward, no Corpse dared appear near his hometown. After all, there was already a tiger lying atop this mountain.

The only one that emerged during this period was an outsider from the sea.

*Since you’re not that powerful and terrifying, then I don’t need to be too afraid of you.* You’re just a pitiful wretch hiding in the underground palace you deceived "her" into building after betraying her, barely clinging to life.

"The exit should be in the main chamber behind you. When you designed and built this place, you must have imagined that one day you’d recover. I don’t believe you’d trap yourself here.

Let us pass, we want to leave here. We promise not to touch anything in your main chamber."

The masked man turned and walked to the kneeling male corpse in front of him. He raised his hand, revealing a bell, and began to shake it.

From within the male corpse came the sound of an egg breaking, and soon a snake’s head emerged from his mouth, swaying to the bell’s rhythm, before retreating back inside.

Immediately, the male corpse moved, picked up a sword from the ground, and stood up.

Evidently, the masked man refused the boy’s proposed "non-aggression pact" and instead initiated a provocation.

In reality, Run Sheng and the other two saw the male corpse stand up, facing them.

Run Sheng said, "Xiao Yuan is traversing the Underworld, protect Xiao Yuan."

Xue Liangliang responded, "Mm-hmm, Binbin, you protect Xiao Yuan; Run Sheng and I will advance together."

"Got it." Tan Wenbin turned to look at the boy leaning against his back. He originally just glanced out of habit, but was immediately startled, exclaiming, "Oh shit, Xiao Yuan’s eyes are bleeding, bleeding badly."

Upon hearing this, Run Sheng and Xue Liangliang didn’t turn around but continued to focus on the male corpse slowly approaching.

*If they couldn’t overcome this hurdle, whether Xiao Yuan went blind or not wouldn’t matter; they might all lose their lives.*

"It’s okay, we can handle it!" Run Sheng comforted, "He’s not a mercury Corpse, we can do it!"

Xue Liangliang caught the reluctance in Run Sheng’s words, knowing that if Run Sheng truly believed they could, he’d say "We can kill him!"

Besides, there wasn’t just one male corpse; there was a high probability the female corpse beside it would rise shortly, too.

Meanwhile, in Li Zhiyuan’s perspective, after awakening the male corpse, the masked man still felt unsatisfied and moved towards the female corpse.

The masked man raised the bell again, but this time, before he could shake it to hatch the snake egg, the female corpse opened her eyes first.

The masked man froze.

The boy smiled.

In the underground palace, there were eight people carrying coffins; four of them were mercury Corpses, extremely loyal to their master in life and enduring great torment in death.

The other four were former companions, the most troublesome kind of Corpse for anyone, and even if Yin Zhiwang himself had the opportunity to attempt control, one against seven would make no sense.

Not to mention the woman on the bed who was almost a Corpse Demon herself, adept at manipulation. With her around, there was no chance to use Wei Zhengdao’s Black Book.

Now, it was different.

*Between choosing one happiness or the other, which would you choose, and which would I choose?*

Just during the conversation and confrontation with the masked man, Li Zhiyuan was already trying to sync with the female corpse and read her memory, even correcting her memories.

The difficulty of the latter was actually not substantial, as what he needed to weave wasn’t a lie, but a statement of facts.

*When she opened her eyes and saw the masked man here, she’d know the truth.*

*Because he simply shouldn’t be in the master’s underground palace!*

"Your master was miserably deceived by him, her body seized by a snake, enduring constant suffering. Go, avenge your master!"

In reality, the female corpse awakened, grabbed the sword at her side, and stood up.

This scene chilled Run Sheng, Xue Liangliang, and Tan Wenbin to the bone.

But soon, an astonishing scene unfolded; the female corpse charged forward, pierced the male corpse with a sword, and pinned him down, fiercely biting him.

Li Zhiyuan also opened his eyes. The bad news was that his vision was a bloody red; the good news was he wasn’t blind yet.

"Quick, rush into the main chamber, find the exit!"

*No matter who emerged victorious between the male and female corpses, ultimately, they’d target the intruders who didn’t belong in the underground palace.*

Run Sheng attempted to carry Li Zhiyuan, but saw Tan Wenbin had already taken the step of picking up the boy.

Seeing this, Run Sheng said no more, leading the charge into the main chamber with Xue Liangliang and Tan Wenbin following close behind, all four passing between the battling male and female corpses.

The decoration within the main chamber was crude, or more precisely, nonexistent, resembling a natural cave with a lavishly adorned chair at its center, upon which a masked man sat, his hands resting on the armrests.

Above the chair, the rock was riddled with beehive-like holes, from which black-red liquid ceaselessly dripped down.
