Two thousand Bone Fangs flew out, riddling the charging corpse with holes.
The already tattered body was blown to pieces on the spot.
Lin Moyu asked in a low voice, "How did we end up here?"
Dongfang Yao was clearly very panicked at this moment, "I don't know either."
Lin Moyu gave a light cough, "Don't panic, think carefully. First, tell me what kind of place the Corpse Realm is."
Since they had already arrived here, there was no need to dwell on how they came.
The first priority was to figure out exactly what the Corpse Realm was.
Two more corpses charged over, moving quickly, a bit faster than the previous ones.
This time, Lin Moyu could see them a bit more clearly than before; the charging corpses looked almost identical in shape to humans.
Their entire bodies were already rotten beyond recognition, covered in holes.
If it were an ordinary person, they would have been dead long ago.
Yet, despite this, they were still not dead, and they charged over with hoarse wails, their speed not slow at all.
Bone Fangs erupted, completely shredding the two corpses.
But they still didn't die; even with only a head left, it was still there, mouth agape, howling incessantly.
The stench of rot grew stronger, and Lin Moyu frowned as he looked at Dongfang Yao.
Dongfang Yao said urgently, "This is the Corpse Realm. I don't know why we came here either."
Lin Moyu interrupted her, "I know this is the Corpse Realm. Calm down and explain it clearly."
Dongfang Yao tried hard to calm herself, but her trembling body betrayed her uneasy heart.
Ignoring the stench of rot, Dongfang Yao took a deep breath.
"The Corpse Realm is an ancient Small World. A long time ago, a great battle broke out here."
"The battle shattered this world, and someone cast a terrifying skill here at the time."
"This skill caused the entire world to mutate, and everyone who was in this world at that time turned into corpses."
"Enough!" Lin Moyu shouted in a low voice, interrupting Dongfang Yao again, "I am not asking for the origin of the Corpse Realm. I am asking what we need to watch out for here and what the dangers are."
Dongfang Yao was startled by Lin Moyu and hurriedly said, "I don't know. I don't know much about the Corpse Realm. I only know that you must not be bitten by the corpses, otherwise you will be infected by the plague and turn into a corpse yourself."
At this moment, a thunderclap suddenly sounded in the sky, and a bolt of lightning streaked across the land.
Lin Moyu was shocked to find that the lightning was purple, even glowing with a pale white light, looking extremely evil.
Then, raindrops began to fall from the sky.
The rain not only failed to wash away the smell of rot, but instead made it even heavier.
A white light lit up; the Bone Armor suddenly illuminated.
"This water is not right!"
Lin Moyu was shocked. The rain was both acidic and foul, carrying strong corrosiveness, and it had actually activated the Bone Armor.
"Ah!"
An exclamation came from beside him; the rain falling on her had clearly injured her as well.
Dongfang Yao produced a shield, holding it horizontally over her head like an umbrella to block the rain.
As the rain fell on the shield, wisps of green smoke emerged, and the shield was being corroded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"A Knight?"
It was the first time Lin Moyu had paid attention to Dongfang Yao's profession, but upon closer inspection, it didn't look like it.
Dongfang Yao was not a Knight.
Knights didn't use their shields that way.
Lin Moyu was quite knowledgeable about Knights now and had seen various Knight professions.
He pondered in his heart but couldn't find a matching profession for Dongfang Yao.
The shield was rapidly being corroded and wouldn't last long.
Dongfang Yao's face was filled with anxiety and fear.
At this moment, she suddenly received a party invitation from Lin Moyu and accepted without hesitation.
Then, Lin Moyu pointed his finger, and white light flickered on her body; the Bone Armor shone brightly, blocking the rain.
"Th-thank you!" Dongfang Yao thanked Lin Moyu.
If it weren't for Lin Moyu, she feared she wouldn't have been able to hold on.
Although she still had quite a few shields in her storage space, heaven only knew how long this rain would last.
Lin Moyu asked, "What else do you know about the Corpse Realm?"
Dongfang Yao said, "My status is not high enough, and my level is too low, so the information I have is very limited. Regardless, the Corpse Realm is extremely dangerous; I fear it will be very difficult to leave here."
"My father once told me that the reason our Dongfang Family could become the masters of the Shenxia Empire is not because of how strong we are."
"It is because our Dongfang Family bears the heavy responsibility of guarding the Corpse Realm."
"Before the Shenxia Empire was established, the Corpse Realm already existed. Once, the corpses in the Corpse Realm tried to charge into our Human World."
"At that time, an ancestor of our Dongfang Family used his own life to hold the corpses back."
"He sacrificed himself and bought enough time for humanity. Later, guarding the Corpse Realm became the responsibility of our Dongfang Family. After the Shenxia Empire was established, our Dongfang Family also became the rulers."
After listening, Lin Moyu took out the abyss teleportation stone.
The abyss teleportation stone was dim and lusterless at this moment, having actually lost its function.
There were only two possibilities for the abyss teleportation stone to lose its function.
First, the Corpse Realm was covered by an extremely powerful barrier or formation, shielding all teleportation items.
Second, the Corpse Realm was extremely far from the abyss, exceeding the limit of the teleportation stone.
After all, the energy of an abyss teleportation stone is limited, and there is a certain limit to the distance as well.
Based on the time it took to teleport from the imperial palace to here, both situations were possible.
The rain was washing over the land with strong corrosiveness, yet the three corpses that had been shredded just now were not injured at all.
Lin Moyu even saw that under the washing of the rain, they actually had a tendency to grow back.
The three heads were drinking the acidic, foul rain in large gulps.
Their bodies were actually slowly growing back.
Before long, new rotten flesh had already grown out below the necks.
This scene was hair-raising, and Dongfang Yao let out another scream.
She was a girl after all, and seeing such a scene always filled her with terror.
"Should we leave this place?" Dongfang Yao looked at the eerie scene, her heart trembling.
"Leave? Go where? In which direction?" Lin Moyu asked.
All around was pitch black and foul-smelling; he didn't know which direction was the right one.
Dongfang Yao said, "Head towards the center. I remember that there is a secret realm in the center of the Corpse Realm. This secret realm has a teleportation array that can return to the Human World."
"…Why didn't you say so earlier?" Lin Moyu asked.
Dongfang Yao felt a bit embarrassed, "I was a little scared just now, so I forgot."
Lin Moyu didn't dwell on this matter and continued to ask, "Then how do we get to the center?"
Dongfang Yao shook her head, "I don't know…"
Well, that was as good as saying nothing.
Without knowing the direction and not knowing the size of the Corpse Realm, it would likely not be easy to find.
Since that was the case, Lin Moyu was not in a rush to set off.
It was temporarily safe here, so he needed to figure things out first.
Plan before acting; facing such a bizarre world, Lin Moyu was very careful.
Lin Moyu didn't move, and Dongfang Yao dared not move even more.
She huddled tightly beside Lin Moyu, their Bone Armors pressed together; she was practically hanging onto him.
He cast the Detection Spell, and the returned information was very simple.
[Low-level Corpse]
[Level: 5]
Apart from the name and level, there was no other information.
He summoned a Skeleton Berserker.
The Skeleton Berserker braved the acidic, foul, corrosive rain and walked in front of the corpse.
It deliberately stuck its foot out to the corpse's mouth.
The corpse bit down fiercely on the skeleton's bone.
Lin Moyu sensed carefully; the Skeleton Berserker had received an imperceptible trace of damage.
This corpse's attack power was very weak; based on the strength attribute, it wouldn't exceed 100 points of strength.
This attack power wasn't even as damaging as the rain.
The Skeleton Berserker raised its axe and slammed it heavily onto the corpse's head.
With a bang, the head was split in two.
There was no blood; it was just like a piece of firewood being split open.
But the bizarre thing was that the corpse, split in two, still had its mouth moving.
And in the rain, it actually had a tendency to grow back together.
"Can't be killed?"
Lin Moyu's heart stirred, and the Skeleton Berserker put the two pieces of the head back together.
After a while, the head actually grew back together.
It was just that there was an extra crack on the head, like a scar, which was created by the Skeleton Berserker's axe; it looked extremely strange.
Dongfang Yao had already closed her eyes in fear, not daring to look.
She didn't understand why Lin Moyu wanted to do this.
After doing this, Lin Moyu once again had the Skeleton Berserker grab the axe and smash the corpse's head to pieces.
This time he used the back of the axe, truly smashing it into a pile of mush.
Then he pieced this pile of mush together.
The shocking thing happened: in the rain, this mush was actually recovering…
Dongfang Yao was so scared she couldn't speak, huddled firmly behind Lin Moyu.
Chapter 364: No Soul, No Curse, Not a Living Thing
Lin Moyu looked at this scene, feeling that something was very wrong.
He didn't believe there was anything that couldn't be killed.
Even wild beasts could be killed.
How could this mere Level 5 low-level corpse be unkillable?
The Skeleton Berserker acted again, this time smashing it even finer and mushier.
And he didn't let them join back together.
