Chapter 1059 Clearing the Undead

 

Fang Yu and Su Changgé turned to look deeper into the village.

Since Black Stone Village was located at the foot of the mountain, the area illuminated by moonlight was limited.

The depths of the village had no light at all, and nothing could be seen at a glance.

“Rumble…”

But the roaring sound grew louder and louder.

The ground tremors throughout the village became increasingly violent.

Fang Yu frowned, raised his right hand to form a ball of light, and threw it toward the depths of the village.

“Whoosh!”

The light ball flew to the sky above the village depths, its radiance spreading out, illuminating everything clearly.

At this moment, they could see what was happening in the depths of the village.

The ground there was collapsing.

From the sunken pit, countless arms could be seen rising up, seemingly trying to climb out.

Corpse tribe again!

At a glance, their numbers were impossible to estimate, at least a thousand!

At this moment, they were crawling out from the pit.

“Coming directly from underground… and so many of them…” Su Changgé’s expression was shocked.

This kind of scene was something he had never witnessed before.

Fang Yu leaped forward, flying toward the depths of the village.

He arrived above the collapsing ground and slightly narrowed his eyes as he looked at the corpse tribe below.

“Rumble…”

The ground continued to collapse without stopping.

In Fang Yu’s vision, he discovered that the corpse tribe in this pit was layered one upon another.

As the ground collapsed downward, it revealed layer upon layer of corpse tribe bodies.

Their skin was dark green, their bodies covered with rotting wounds and slime.

They were stacked layer upon layer, each body writhing, like movable rotten flesh, extremely disgusting.

A foul stench wafted up.

Fang Yu frowned, extended his right hand, and aimed at the corpse tribe below.

The corpse tribe as a group seemed to lack intelligence.

At least… these lowest-level corpse tribe members had no intelligence.

But whether there were higher-level types within the corpse tribe, Fang Yu wasn’t sure.

All his understanding of the corpse tribe came from the ancient ruins he had entered last time.

For ordinary cultivators, the corpse tribe was indeed an extremely troublesome opponent.

All physical damage was ineffective against them; even if their bodies were blasted to pieces, they could still reattach themselves.

And once a cultivator came into contact with the poison on a corpse tribe’s body, there was only one result—death, and an extremely miserable one at that.

However, for Fang Yu, the corpse tribe was easy to deal with.

The Separation Fire seemed to perfectly counter the corpse tribe’s regenerative abilities.

“Whoosh!”

Fang Yu’s right hand suddenly burst into flames, about to blast downward.

“Boss, watch out!”

But at this moment, Su Changgé saw a black shadow approaching behind Fang Yu and shouted out.

Fang Yu had already sensed the fluctuation of energy behind him and immediately turned around, striking out with his palm.

The palm strike, imbued with Separation Fire, exploded in mid-air.

The black shadow rushing toward Fang Yu had its entire body swept by flames, turning to black ash and dissipating into the air.

But at this moment, Fang Yu heard an unusual sound.

He turned to look forward, at the rear of the village near Tiannan Mountain, where many holes had appeared in the mountainside.

From these holes, corpse tribe members were crawling out one by one.

Unlike those on the ground, this type of corpse tribe had wings and moved extremely fast.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

As Fang Yu turned, several corpse tribe members were already flying toward him.

Their greatest weapon was the poison on their bodies.

Therefore, their attack method was simple—to touch their target’s body, wrap around them layer by layer, and dissolve them into blood plasma.

“Ground, air… corpse tribe everywhere.” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze flickering.

It seemed that Black Stone Village was indeed a place where alien tribes were awakening.

And the awakening alien tribe… was likely the leader of the corpse tribe.

“Boom!”

Facing several corpse tribe members rapidly flying toward him, Fang Yu struck out with his palm.

Separation Fire burst forth, flashing in the sky.

The approaching corpse tribe members turned to ash once again.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh…”

But now, more and more corpse tribe members were flying toward Fang Yu.

And those on the ground had begun using their bodies as stepping stones, slowly approaching Fang Yu’s position.

This scene looked particularly creepy.

“Back then, the Xuzhen Sect… was nearly wiped out by being consumed like this…” Fang Yu looked at the corpse tribe filling the sky, his eyes turning cold.

These corpse tribe members were indeed troublesome.

But he couldn’t just set the entire village on fire now.

After all, he hadn’t found the Kitchen God Temple yet.

Fang Yu thought for a moment, then focused his mind.

“Zing!”

A silver light flashed from his back.

The Heavenly Vault Halberd!

Fang Yu grasped the Heavenly Vault Halberd and imbued it with Separation Fire.

“Whoosh…”

The Heavenly Vault Halberd ignited with crimson-gold flames, emitting a scorching aura.

“Help me clear out all these disgusting corpse tribe members,” Fang Yu said.

“Swoosh!”

The Heavenly Vault Halberd immediately rushed forward.

“Slash…”

After that, those alien tribe members trying to pounce on Fang Yu were successively pierced by the Heavenly Vault Halberd in mid-air.

And the Separation Fire carried by the Heavenly Vault Halberd ignited the alien tribe bodies, burning them to ashes.

The Heavenly Vault Halberd moved very quickly, clearing them out efficiently.

Fang Yu nodded with satisfaction and leaped back to stand in front of Su Changgé.

At this time, Su Changgé’s face was somewhat pale, still recovering from the shock.

“Boss… are these the alien tribes?” Su Changgé asked, looking at the flames filling the sky ahead.

“This is just one of the tens of thousands of alien tribes, called the corpse tribe,” Fang Yu answered.

After speaking, Fang Yu turned to look in other directions and said, “It’s getting late. Let’s quickly find the Kitchen God Temple, destroy it, and then we can leave this place.”

Hearing they could leave, Su Changgé was immediately motivated.

This ghostly place was filled with a foul stench; he truly didn’t want to stay a second longer.

In the time that followed, the Heavenly Vault Halberd cleared out the corpse tribe in the depths of the village, while Fang Yu and Su Changgé searched for the Kitchen God Temple house by house.

But… after entering every accessible house, they still couldn’t find the Kitchen God Temple.

Although they didn’t know the exact details of the Kitchen God Temple, it would certainly be different from ordinary residences, at least having a Kitchen God statue for worship.

But after searching the entire village, they hadn’t seen a Kitchen God statue.

So naturally, there was no trace of the Kitchen God Temple.

“There’s nothing, Boss,” Su Changgé said, returning to Fang Yu.

Fang Yu didn’t speak, recalling the direction indicated by the formation under the observatory floor.

“After entering the village, we should continue searching in this direction.”

Fang Yu looked toward the depths of the village.

By now, the Heavenly Vault Halberd had finished clearing out the corpse tribe and returned behind Fang Yu.

The depths of the village had also become extremely quiet.

Inside the collapsed ground, there wasn’t a single corpse tribe member left; all had been burned to ashes by the Separation Fire.

“Let’s go deeper,” Fang Yu said to Su Changgé.

Fang Yu led the way, continuing in the direction of the formation toward the depths.

He flew directly over the collapsed pit and arrived in front of the rock face at the foot of Tiannan Mountain.

At this point, he discovered a cave in front of him.

Due to its remote location, lack of light, and the collapsing ground nearby, it was difficult to notice this cave entrance.

But once approached, the cave entrance became very obvious.

The cave looked quite spacious, with pitch darkness inside.

Following the direction indicated by the formation under the observatory, only this cave allowed further progress; other locations either didn’t match the direction or had no path forward.

So, Fang Yu stepped inside.

Su Changgé, following behind, felt somewhat nervous due to their earlier experiences.

But seeing that Fang Yu had already entered, he gritted his teeth and followed.

The cave was completely dark.

Fang Yu raised his right hand, forming another ball of light to illuminate the cave’s interior.

This time, Su Changgé was mentally prepared for any situation.

Unexpectedly, it was just an ordinary cave.

Rock walls on both sides, with many pebbles scattered on the ground.

There were no corpse tribe members.

The passage looked very long but straight, with no bends.

Standing in place, they could see a tiny point of light in the distance.

That should be the exit.

“Walk faster,” Fang Yu said to Su Changgé, then increased his pace, running forward.

Although the surroundings looked safe, in a place like this, anything could happen.

Su Changgé didn’t dare to fall too far behind Fang Yu and quickly caught up.

Inside the cave, the echo of their footsteps resonated.

Besides that, there were no other sounds.
