This blood bridge was, of course, Persephone’s Folly Bridge.
The eighteen corpse soldiers were exceptionally strong, and their defense was violent. Alex’s self-created Bodhi’s Dragon-Tusk Fist could not break these monsters that were made of bronze skin and iron bones. They were very strong. On the contrary, if one was punched by them, the bones would emit a painful sound that sounded like a metal collision.
Pigsy was beaten and wailing painfully, repeatedly cursing Alex. Pigsy had not yet seen the Divine Pill and was close to being hammered to death.
Daya was a Goddess of Nature before this. Although Daya had reincarnated, favonovel.com was also limited by the rules of the Wasteland. As a result, favonovel.com did not succeed in the immortalization stage. However, favonovel.com had many cards up favonovel.com sleeves. Even if favonovel.com cultivation was not immortalized, favonovel.com combat strength could crush the Immortalization.
However, the situation reversed when Persephone’s Folly Bridge appeared.
Rusty iron chains flew out from Persephone’ s Folly Bridge, bounding the eighteen yellow-clad corpse soldiers and gradually dragged them toward the top of Persephone’s Folly Bridge.
Roar!
The corpse soldiers let out an earth-shattering roar, and a strange and gloomy aura blossomed upon their bodies, forming some kind of domain to counter the dragging of Persephone’ s Folly Bridge.
However, it was useless.
The corpse soldiers were still being dragged upward at a languid pace. It could be seen that the strength of these corpse soldiers was impressive.
Pigsy shouted, “Damn, what the hell is this? People who do not look like people, ghosts who do not look like ghosts?”
Alex inherited the Ultimate Book of Medicine and was still hunting for all the strange knowledge. But, at a glance, favonovel.com could see through the nature of these corpse soldiers. “These are zombies and very vicious living corpses. They sacrificed people who were alive. I did not expect that the Miller family, with such an ancient heritage, actually keeps such things at home.”
Daya nodded. “To use living people to refine corpses. There really isn’t any bottom line anymore.”
However, they heard even more astonished voices, precisely those of the Miller family speaking.
That not so-young clan member saw that the Persephone’s Folly Bridge tied up the eighteen corpse soldiers. All of them were being dragged down the bridge, with no way to break free for a while. She shouted in surprise, “What kind of magic treasure is that holding the eighteen corpse soldiers? These are the strongest corpse soldiers that the old ancestor spent countless efforts to refine with talented disciples. Each one of them is comparable to the strength of the Golden Immortal.”
So, the Miller family was refining corpses, not just looking for outside ones but specifically looking for talented genius disciples of their clan. What kind of operation was this?
Were they not using zombies?
Knowing the manipulation of the law was already sufficient. Was there a need to sacrifice so much?
Soon, they felt that something was wrong.
Eighteen corpse soldiers seemed to have a living mind. They could only scream and could not speak, but there should be some kind of way to contact each other. As they were dragged by the chain of Persephone’s Folly Bridge, these corpse soldiers were actually helping each other, pulling and entangling together and forming some kind of battle formation.
The weapons in the hands of the corpse soldiers were inserted into the ground simultaneously to stop the drag.
Moreover, so many corpse soldiers were pulling on the same chain together, trying to break the chain. Surprisingly, the Mysterious Maiden of Nine Heavens stepped up to answer the doubts. “These are not zombies but living people.”
Alex said, “You must be mistaken, right? The bodies are so heavy with corpse aura, and the joints on the bodies are stiff. If those were living people, how could they withstand it? The corpse aura would have corroded and broken the souls.”
The Mysterious Maiden of Nine Heavens explained, ”In this world, there is something called the human corpse. They are like corpses, except they are really humans, which is also considered a kind of body refining! The people pioneered this because they could not continue developing their cultivation. Moreover, their life expectancy is drawing to a close, and they did not want to die. So they found a unique solution to solve the problem, which is to refine their physical body into zombies. Thus, they are actually not dead, their souls did not die. This way, they have achieved immortality.”
Alex staggered. “They don’t want to be humans but choose to be corpses?”
The Mysterious Maiden of Nine Heavens answered, “The corpses also have the opportunity to transform back into humans. So, the people who created this faction of the great left themselves a lifeline. Unfortunately, not many people would end up successful. Those who practiced this path, about 90% end up dead for real. The others who are lucky not to die might face the possibility that their cultivation cannot progress any level higher. Only one in ten thousand people can return to flesh, and their cultivation might be greatly improved.”
