Zombie Bodyguard
Chapter 472 - 471 Swarm

Chapter 472: Chapter 471 Swarm

Lin Tian followed Li Yue’s instructions and sat cross-legged. Then he formed the hand seal as Li Yue had taught him. As for the dangers mentioned by Li Qingyun, Lin Tian was indifferent; he was actually curious to see what kind of danger it would be.

However, in order to prevent any danger from affecting Xiao Manxuan and others, Lin Tian abandoned that idea.

Once Lin Tian was seated, Li Yue took out a black pottery jar and placed it in front of him. She then ignited a piece of black-charcoal-like substance and put it at the bottom of the jar. Wisps of white smoke curled up from the mouth of the jar, slowly spreading to every corner of the basement.

"Alright, we’ll wait at the entrance," Li Qingyun instructed.

Although Xiao Manxuan was somewhat worried, she still followed the grandmother and grandchild to the entrance, where the three of them stood watching Lin Tian.

The white smoke rising from the pottery jar was odorless at first, but when it drifted in front of Lin Tian, something strange happened.

Where did this fragrance come from? Lin Tian moved his nose, feeling very puzzled. The scent was so faint that he wouldn’t have noticed it if his nose weren’t extremely sensitive.

"Young man, there’s no need to worry. Both the ink of Gu Medicine on your body and the charcoal in the pottery jar have been refined by me. When the smoke from the burning charcoal encounters the Gu Medicine, it will emit a faint fragrance. This fragrance will lure out the Zombie Gu within her body. As long as you stay still, everything will proceed according to my plan," Li Qingyun explained to Lin Tian again.

The black substance turned out to be specially made; Lin Tian had thought it was just ordinary charcoal. As Li Qingyun spoke, more and more white smoke rose, and the jar was soon filled with thick vapors, with even more clouding around Lin Tian.

The faint fragrance from the Gu Medicine on his body became stronger as it mixed with the white smoke; eventually, it even reached Xiao Manxuan at the entrance.

"Wow, this smell is so fragrant, it seems so nice, even better than high-end perfumes. Granny Li, how did you do it?" Xiao Manxuan asked curiously, moving her pert nose.

"Little girl, of course the scent is pleasant. Both the Gu Medicine on Lin Tian’s body and the charcoal in the jar have been soaked in Corpse Oil," Li Qingyun stated indifferently.

However, this casual tone gave Xiao Manxuan goosebumps, and she quickly used Lin Tian’s clothes to cover her nose. Lin Tian was no different; he almost wanted to jump down and wash off the Enchanting Gu Talisman on his body.

But he resisted the urge. It wasn’t that he was afraid; the thing was just disgusting. Corpse Oil is said to be extracted from corpses, the fattier the corpse, the more Corpse Oil produced.

Back in the Three Kingdoms Period, after the fat warlord Dong Zhuo died, his corpulent body was discarded at a marketplace. As the corpse decayed, his fats turned into Corpse Oil, and the soldiers guarding the corpse made a hole in Dong Zhuo’s navel, inserted a wick, and set it alight. What burned was his body fat and Corpse Oil, leaving nothing but ashes in the end.

From this, one can imagine that whether it is artificially refined or naturally formed, the thought of it is repulsive.

There are rumors that high-end perfumes contain an element of Corpse Oil. As for whether this is true or not, only those in charge of the perfume formulas would know. Of course, lower-grade perfumes definitely do not contain Corpse Oil; it’s a very expensive ingredient that you can’t just add to any perfume.

Would Li Qingyun be refining Corpse Oil herself? Given her status as a Gu Cultivator, it was indeed possible, Lin Tian suddenly realized the disturbing possibility.

"Young man, I know what you’re thinking, but I did not refine the Corpse Oil myself. I bought it from the black market," Li Qingyun said.

Though she looked young, she was actually at the level of a grandmother. As they say, with age comes cunning, and she immediately guessed Lin Tian’s thoughts.

The black market, again the black market, which piqued Lin Tian’s interest. Previously, the ’dissolve power medicine’ Sun Decai and Bai Yufeng had used was also bought from the black market. This black market was indeed peculiar, carrying all sorts of bizarre items.

As they spoke, the fragrance in the basement became even more intense. Generally, there is a limit to the pleasure people get from scents: too strong a fragrance can cause rejection and even lead to symptoms like dizziness and a throbbing head.

But the fragrance here had already reached such a high concentration, and still, Lin Tian found it pleasant, with no sign of repulsion. Just on this account, the fragrance was no ordinary scent.

Suddenly, the Japanese woman lying on the long table shuddered slightly, her eyebrows also knit together as if she was encountering something terrifying in a dream.

This shudder seemed to be a signal; the intervals between her tremors grew shorter and shorter until, like she was possessed, her body wouldn’t stop quivering. Yet, despite this, she showed no sign of waking up.

"Young man, pay attention; it’s about to start," Li Qingyun warned loudly.

No sooner had she spoken than the trembling Japanese woman suddenly arched her waist and abdomen to a height that exceeded the limits of what a normal person could achieve, like a bent bow.

Her drastic movement caused the two towels covering her body to immediately fall away.

Shit, is this testing my stability, Lin Tian thought as he watched the Japanese woman, swallowing hard several times.

"Lin Tian, you mustn’t look!" Xiao Manxuan stomped her foot and demanded unreasonably.

Damn it, I can’t help but look; I can’t blink or turn away. What are you trying to do to me? Lin Tian felt wronged, though in his heart, he was actually pleased — what man could refuse such a sight?

However, Lin Tian knew the importance of keeping a clear head and maintaining his composure. If he couldn’t resist such a trivial temptation, he didn’t deserve to be a zombie.

"Little girl, don’t worry; soon he won’t be able to keep looking," Li Qingyun said indifferently, not finding anything inappropriate with the situation—it was all to break the Gu curse, not to do anything indecent.

"Why?" the little girl asked, half-doubting.

Li Qingyun just smiled mysteriously and did not answer, continuing to watch the situation intently.

Just as Lin Tian was enjoying the view, the situation changed.

The Japanese woman, arched to the highest point, suddenly froze, and strange gurgling noises came from her stomach. The noise traveled up from her abdomen, through the abdominal cavity, and finally, she opened her mouth, and the gurgling sound emerged from it.

Shit, this better not be some alien thing; it sure looked like something was about to come out, Lin Tian couldn’t help but look at her mouth.

Yet nothing came out of her mouth; instead, a small worm crawled out of her nostrils. The worm was brown, long and slender, slightly thicker than a hair, with many finer legs along its body, like a centipede shrunk many times over.

This wasn’t right; how could a tiny worm make such a loud gurgling noise? As Lin Tian wondered, another one crawled out of her nostrils, followed by a third, a fourth...

More and more worms emerged, quickly covering her face, yet she still didn’t wake up, only moving her body instinctively in agony.

"Ugh..." The Japanese woman made a vomiting sound, then Lin Tian saw a sight that sent chills down his spine.
