Chapter 373 Feast in the Corpse Kingdom
Chapter 373 Feast in the Corpse Kingdom
They're just two mindless zombies with no fighting skills. If these things can corner Zhang Qiling, then...
Over the years, Zhang Qiling must have died countless times.
Just as Cheng Feng was speaking, the battle situation on Hei Xiazi's side began to change.
Hei Xiazi has a strong ability to react quickly to a fight. He understands Xiao Heizi's characteristics, so he rarely uses his fists and feet to fight him.
He had been using his short sword to cut Xiao Heizi's skin.
In just a few words, the little black bear in front of Black Bear was stabbed into tattered pieces.
When Hei Xiazi discovered that Xiao Heizi had no bones inside his body, he immediately lunged forward and flipped over Xiao Heizi.
Then he grabbed Xiao Heizi by the back of the neck with one hand.
Xiao Heizi reached for Hei Xiazi behind him with his joints reversed, but it was too late. Hei Xiazi immediately pressed his short sword against Xiao Heizi's hand.
Then he suddenly pulled backward.
After a sound like a knife cutting through leather, a black head fell to the ground.
At this moment, Xiao Heizi's claws were less than ten centimeters from Hei Xiazi's heart, a truly minuscule difference.
Hei Xiazi twirled his sword and gave the onlookers a flamboyant smile.
Then he stared intently at the battlefield where Zhang Qiling was.
Zhang Qiling appeared disheveled at this moment, but he had not suffered any attacks.
However, the two ancient python corpses he had been leading around had already developed many wounds, and because of this, their movements were not as swift as they had been at the beginning.
Seeing Zhang Qiling handle the situation with ease, Hei Xiazi felt a surge of admiration.
He could also deal with the two ancient python corpses, but he couldn't do it as effortlessly as Zhang Qiling.
Before long, Zhang Qiling beheaded one of the ancient python corpses with a single stroke.
The other one didn't last long either; just a dozen seconds later, it followed in its companion's footsteps.
The two heads rolled down and bumped into each other. Perhaps after Cheng Feng and the others left, they could chat for a while when they had nothing else to do.
"nailed it."
Before returning to the group, Hei Xiazi said with a light laugh.
Cheng Feng nodded: "Thank you for your hard work. I'll prepare a big meal for you once we're in a safe place."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go, I'm actually a little hungry."
Then, the group continued forward in their original formation.
The fat rice dumpling was lucky on the road that Cheng Feng and the others were on, as it was directly freed by Naiqiong Shenbing.
Otherwise, decades or centuries later, they will still be like this, living like pupae in dark, sunless underground tunnels.
Perhaps because there were only three ancient pythons responsible for this section of the route, the group walked relatively calmly for the rest of the journey.
Aside from not seeing some fat corpses lying in pupae from the side road next door, everything else was normal.
"That's all I heard up there. Blind man, fire another shot."
Cheng Feng stopped at a fork in the road and said.
Black Bear agreed and took out his pistol, aiming it at the frozen fat man's corpse on the ground behind him.
Bang
A loud gunshot rang out again in the passage, and this time Cheng Feng almost instantly finalized the route he was about to take in his mind.
"We'll be there soon, just ten more minutes until we reach our destination. Please bear with us a little longer."
Walking on ice is a bit tough for ordinary people, especially since they're not wearing warm, cold-weather boots.
Led by Cheng Feng, the group arrived at a diamond wall in just eight minutes.
"Once we break through this diamond wall, we can officially enter the tomb."
He gestured to the bear with a gesture indicating the arrival of Xiaoman (a solar term).
This impenetrable wall couldn't even last ten seconds under Xiaoman's hands; it crumbled at the slightest touch.
"Xiaoman is really amazing! Even those ancient python corpses probably couldn't withstand a single claw strike from Xiaoman!"
Huo Ling squatted down and touched Xiao Man's scales, then carefully examined Xiao Man's sharp claws.
"Don't underestimate it. Not to mention those ancient python corpses, even a thousand-year-old rice dumpling couldn't withstand a few of Xiaoman's claws."
Of course, this is on the premise that Xiaoman's speed can keep up with the millennium-old rice dumplings.
Through the gap dug out at Xiaoman, everyone finally stepped onto the ground at a normal temperature.
This is the center of a tomb passage, with paths leading to both the front and back.
Determining which route to take used to be a problem, but now it's not.
Because numerous drag marks are clearly visible on the ground, these must have been left by the ancient python corpse when it brought the captured person in.
"I wonder what happened to those people."
The group followed the drag marks forward. Judging from the debris left on the ground, those people had been dragged in for some time.
"It's not a big problem. According to the procedure, there's a process to determine the sweetness of the meat before eating people."
So there should still be time.
Cheng Feng's words were somewhat abstract to the girls: a man-eating monster that was also picky about food.
After passing through this tomb passage, the group finally saw the exit ahead.
The group then quickened their pace toward the exit.
After everyone stepped out of the tomb passage, they found that the space was very large, and it was difficult to see the whole picture with just the light of the flashlights.
Cheng Feng then took out three flares and threw them toward the three walls.
Soon, light shone from all around, and the entire scene came into view.
"This...this is a banquet?"
Huo Ling's eyes widened in disbelief as she spoke.
Before the crowd stood a tall archway at the entrance, with three large characters written on it: "Corpse Kingdom Banquet".
The scene under the archway was also extremely lively.
The maids waiting at the entrance, the scantily clad dancers, the guards, the handsome men, and so on are all vividly depicted in the terracotta figurines.
Behind the archway of the Corpse Kingdom Banquet, however, was a truly grand banquet.
A high platform was covered with stone tables of all sizes from bottom to top, and Cheng Feng could tell at a glance that there were more than a thousand tables.
These stone tables are set with exquisite tableware; any one of them could provide for you for years without worrying about food and clothing.
Next to the stone table, there are rows of huge bronze ice-suppressing cups.
In the hot summer, putting ice cubes inside would be just as effective as a refrigerator.
The food displayed on top was also exquisite, all made of high-quality jade.
However, the original luster of the jade was now covered by dust, otherwise Black Bear would be in trouble now.
"Boss, look, the ancient python corpse is quite particular. They even arranged a feast for the person after bringing him here."
The black-clad actor pointed to a corner of the banquet.
There, a group of people dressed in modern clothes were sitting behind their respective stone tables with their heads down.
If it weren't for the difference in their clothes, they would have seemed like guests at this banquet.
"We know many people here, let's go check on them first."
Cheng Feng was quite happy that all his partners, including Wu Sansheng, Xie Lianhuan, and Qiu Dekao, were still there.
We haven't even encountered the second-best tomb in the world yet. If they die here, Cheng Feng will be worried about who will be cannon fodder.
Soon, the group walked up the steps to their designated area.
There are very few terracotta figurines here; it seems they are reserved specifically for visitors.
Moreover, the items placed on the table are somewhat different from those on the stone tables in other areas.
One of the black stones looked familiar to everyone.
"Isn't this a mole?"
