Chapter 51: Devils' Wild Dance

  The white-flowering corpse maggots in front of him made Lao Ding feel very curious.

  The old man looked at the corpse worms in front of him with interest and said, "I didn't expect that I could still see these legendary corpse worms. It seems that this demonic gate has indeed been revived."

  Speaking of this, Lao Ding's expression became increasingly solemn.

  Lao Ding didn't know what to think, and Xuan Qi wasn't clear either. At this time, he looked at the corpses in front of him and felt his scalp numb. Although these things seemed harmless, his instincts sensed danger.

  "What is this corpse worm, what kind of creature is it?" Xuan Qi couldn't help but ask Lao Ding.

  The old man's voice slowly said: "Corpse worm is a very terrible species, it is a poisonous insect that parasitizes on corpses. Its appearance is similar to that of the big-headed fly, but what's different is that its body is full of extremely potent corrosive toxins. Those toxins can not only corrode skin and flesh, but also bones. However, corpse worms are extremely difficult to raise. The larvae must be parasitized on a corpse that will not rot, feeding on corpse poison to grow up, and the growth cycle is very slow, generally taking twenty or thirty years for the larvae to mature into adult insects."

  "What, this thing is so terrifying!" Xuan Qi didn't expect that these white and chubby guys in front of him would be so frightening.

  He couldn't help but shrink back at the sight of this scene.

  At this time, one of the miners retreated a step carelessly and stepped on a corpse worm. A scream was heard coming over.

  Taking a closer look, as the white corpse worm spat out a mouthful of mucus, that unlucky guy's body directly started smoking, his legs buckled and he fell into the pile of corpse worms, miserable cries echoed out, soon turning into a skeleton.

  After that, the white bones were also completely corroded and turned into a pile of white powder. Later, these powders and those rotten ** were all absorbed into the body by these corpse maggots.

  "This thing is really too terrifying!"

  At the sight of this scene in front of him, Xuan Qi took a deep breath. Although he had heard Lao Ding's description, he felt extremely terrified.

  However, after seeing the real situation, Xuan Qi only discovered that this old turtle's description could not fully describe the horror of the legendary Corpse Wriggling Maggot.

  "Damn it, I didn't expect that you, senior brother, have become quite formidable over the years, even cultivating a Corpse Wriggling Worm." The pale middle-aged man sitting on the skull-shaped high platform remained expressionless, still with an air of indifference.

  Soon, a figure appeared in front of Xuan Qi and the others. Compared to this pale middle-aged man, his master's appearance looked even more bizarre and terrifying.

  This guy's senior, is a dwarf-like fellow, with a body height similar to that of a child, but his face is that of an adult, only with a cleft lip and a nose pointing upwards, looking extremely ugly, making one want to vomit. This appearance, is so ugly it's unforgettable.

  Although this dwarf's appearance is ugly, his voice is very gentle and refreshing, like a radio broadcaster, with a magnetic tone.

  "Ah, I'm here. I say, junior brother, you're quite bold, even daring to touch my things. Don't think that just because Master favors you, you can act wildly in front of me. Let me tell you, being the top of the class isn't something to be trifled with. If you provoke me, I won't care who's backing you up!"

  As he spoke, the middle-aged man snorted coldly and said with great displeasure.

  Upon seeing this dwarf's stern and severe appearance, the pale-faced middle-aged man was completely unbothered. With a venomous sneer, he said: "You're just a defeated underling, yet you dare to be arrogant in front of me? You're nothing but a discarded disciple of our Shi Men. Gao Ding Tian, you're only suited for being remade from scratch, not for living in this world."

  "Good, you're quite bold, Shi Xiangjie!" Upon hearing the middle-aged man's sarcasm, this short-tempered person started trembling, his hands shaking, and his body almost out of control.

  It's clear he's on the verge of an outburst.

  However, after taking a deep breath, he calmed down and said: "Do you want to provoke me? Junior brother, this little trick of yours won't fool me. Do you think I'm still like before, losing control of my temper, leaving an opening for you to exploit, and then being disfigured and forced to take a poisonous pill?"

  Only after hearing their conversation did Xuan Qi realize that this guy's appearance and physique were not like that from birth, but rather had been framed by someone.

  The one who framed him was his own junior fellow disciple.

  A middle-aged man named Shi Xiangjie with a calm expression said, "How's that? If you've succeeded, then you've succeeded. Now, I'm the master of the Corpse Gate, and you're just a stray dog from a bereaved family. Gao Dingtian, do you think that just because you've refined a few corpse bones, I won't be able to deal with you?"

  As he spoke, he burst out laughing. Along with his voice, several dark figures emerged from somewhere and stood beside him.

  These guys are like sculptures, with metallic luster on their bodies, looking very majestic. Upon closer inspection, the metallic luster is golden in color.

  "Golden armor corpse, how interesting! I didn't expect that I came to the right place today. There are quite a few good things here, many of which are rare encounters." The old turtle was extremely excited at the sight before him.

  Looking at these things, Xuan Qi said with some doubt: "These demonic gate items, are they useful to you? Old Turtle, have your eyes gone dim with age? I really don't think there's anything here that we can use. These guys, each and every one of them is so disgusting. I really don't know what kind of thing we can use."

  Xuan Qi felt a strong sense of rejection towards these messy things.

  Xuan Qi is a normal person, not a forensic doctor. If he were a forensic doctor, he might be more interested in these things. However, he has never been fond of corpses and the like since birth.

  Lao Ding said, "These things are not for you to use, but for your grandfather to use. Although it can be said that these things are all related to the soul or corpse, they look like evil cult objects. However, there is a distinction between good and evil in the Tao, but objects themselves do not have good or evil connotations. For example, your grandfather's body needs these tools. For instance, the golden armor corpse and the corpse-worms can absorb death energy. At that time, when we are casting our spells, we can completely absorb your grandfather's death energy without leaving any residue. In this way, it is many times more effective than using spiritual energy to forcibly wash away."

  Upon hearing Lao Ding's words, Xuan Qi's eyes lit up and he said: "Then let's hurry up and take these things back!" Having heard about these things related to Xuan Qing, Xuan Qi's attitude immediately changed.

  The old man waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, let's just watch the excitement for now. I'm actually curious to see which of these two is more powerful. Unexpectedly, the Corpse Gate hasn't been destroyed yet. I thought that your ancestor, Xuan Yangzi, had already eliminated all of them back then. Unexpectedly, after a few hundred years, all these evil spirits have come out again."

  It can be seen that Lao Ding and these corpse gate guys still have some historical connections.

  That dwarf named Gao Ding Tian, after seeing the golden zombie, his courage was greatly reduced, and he became somewhat withered.

  "Golden Armor Corpse, I never thought you'd actually refine the Golden Armor Corpse!" A dwarf named Gao Ding Tian glared fiercely at a middle-aged man named Shi Xiang Jie, as if he wanted to swallow him whole.

  Shi Xiangjie's hands moved continuously, controlling the Golden Armor Corpse to run towards the direction of the corpse-worms on the ground. When the Golden Armor Corpse arrived at the poisonous insect swarm, all these poisonous insects dispersed.

  Some of the poisonous insects that had not dispersed were trampled to death by this golden-armored corpse.

  Those plump corpse maggots sprayed a sticky liquid at the Golden Armored Corpse's body, but it seemed to have no effect whatsoever.

  The corpse maggots that could originally corrode even bones were completely useless against the Golden Armored Corpse.

  "Don't bother, you still think I have a copper corpse in my hand? You little poisonous insect, can't even deal with this Golden Corpse King. It's our sect's treasure!"

  "Damn it, is this the darling of the sect?" Upon hearing Shi Xiangjie's words, that dwarf named Gao Dingtian's facial expression twisted, and he bellowed: "Unfair! Unfair! Why can you get all the support from the sect and get the best resources, while I have nothing?"

  "I don't just have the Golden Armor Corpse, I also have the Silver Armor Corpse, Copper Armor Corpse, and Iron Armor Corpse." Shizun Jie, sitting on the high platform, was constantly showing off to Gao Dingtian, a dwarf, and provoking him.

  At this time, more than a dozen zombies stood in the mine, making the air very foul and filled with the stench of corpses everywhere.

  Xuan Qi originally was still worried that Shi Xiang Jie would ask about the puppet again. However, since entering the cave, he hadn't mentioned the puppet at all.

  It turned out that he didn't mention the puppet because he had too many trump cards in his hand. Compared to a dark puppet, these things in his hand were more precious and valuable, and their combat power was also stronger.

  "Snake King, come out!" Seeing Shi Xiangjie had already taken out the thing at the bottom of the box, this dwarf named Gao Dingtian was not to be outdone, and took out his own treasure.

  A small snake held in one's hand, roughly the size of an earthworm, with a blood-red body, slender physique, long venomous fangs, and tiny poisonous teeth.

  "Snake King?" Xuan Qi hadn't expected that this unremarkable little snake would actually be the Snake King in Gao Ding Tian's mouth. He didn't know what made it so formidable.

  Xuan Qi originally wanted to hear Lao Ding's explanation, but unexpectedly, Shifu Zhang on the high platform changed his expression greatly after seeing this small venomous snake and planned to escape immediately.

  He suddenly leaped up from the high platform and flew towards the ground, instantly hiding behind those zombies and no longer exposing his figure.

  When he came down from the high platform, Xuan Qi saw that the guy named Shi Xiang Jie was actually a disabled person sitting in a wheelchair, and not a good character.

  At this time, Xuán Qí finally understood why he wouldn't do things personally, but instead would find a few helpers to assist him in doing some tasks.

  Originally, due to inconvenience with his legs and feet, Shi Xiangjie found it inconvenient to come out and deal with some matters, so he hid in the dark.
