Zombies: Cultivating Immortality at Maoshan, Becoming Stronger by Doing Nothing

Chapter 961

Ling Yanyan suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

"Since you refuse to sacrifice yourself, I have no choice but to eat you." The tomb guardian spoke calmly, slowly raising his palm, which glowed with black light, clearly intending to destroy Ling Yan Yan.

Ling Yanyan was terrified and cried out, "Lord Corpse Commander, I! I have something to tell you!"

"Oh? Tell me." The tomb keeper looked at Ling Yanyan with great interest.

“It’s like this.” Ling Yan Yan swallowed hard, then mustered his courage and said, “My bloodline is extraordinary. If you eat me, it will enhance your strength and even grant you more lifespan. Why not?”

"Oh? It has such an effect?" The tomb keeper's eyes flickered, as if he had been seduced. "Is there anything special about your bloodline?"

Ling Yanyan immediately took out a piece of blood jade and said excitedly, "Look at this jade. It can provide a huge amount of spiritual energy. It is a treasure among treasures."

The tomb keeper glanced down at the blood jade, then shook his head and said, "How much spiritual energy can a mere piece of blood jade have? It can't help me at all. Unless you offer something more precious, perhaps I can consider it."

"Well, this piece of jade is already quite precious." Ling Yanyan smiled bitterly; he didn't have any rare items left.

The tomb keeper coldly said, "Then stop talking nonsense, hand over the blood jade, and I'll let you leave safely..."

"You! How can you be so unreasonable?" Ling Yanyan was extremely frustrated. This guy was greedy to the extreme; he was practically a vampire.

"Enough with the nonsense, are you going to hand it over or not?" the tomb keeper urged, his eyes flashing with a scarlet light, exuding a dangerous aura.

Ling Yanyan shuddered and hurriedly explained, "I'm not lying to you. Blood Jade is more precious to me than my own life."

"Since that's the case, then don't waste my time. The choice is yours: pay or not?" The tomb keeper's voice grew increasingly gloomy, with a hint of anger in it.

"I hand it over!"

Ling Yanyan gritted her teeth and threw the cloth bag containing the blood jade to the tomb keeper.

Seeing this, Ling Yanyan felt her heart bleed, wishing she could rush into the ancient tomb and snatch the blood jade back.

"Huh? It's actually pure spirit stones, and mid-grade spirit stones at that!" The tomb keeper took the cloth bag, his eyes shining, and he trembled with excitement.

The tomb keeper had lived and cultivated for hundreds of years, and had never encountered pure or mid-grade spirit stones before. Now that he had obtained them, one can imagine his excitement.

"This is your reward." Ling Yanyan handed the storage ring to the tomb keeper.

The tomb keeper carefully put away his storage ring and smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, you are the only pure human I have ever seen, so I have decided not to kill you. I will use you as nourishment to help me improve my strength!"

"Damn it!" Ling Yanyan couldn't help but curse, angrily saying, "Hey, hey, hey, I've given you everything, why are you still trying to kill me?"

Ling Yanyan felt indignant and thought to himself, "Am I really that hated?"

"Don't worry, I won't eat you, I'll just absorb your essence." The tomb guardian chuckled and pounced with his gaping maw.

"Damn it! I'll fight you to the death!" Ling Yanyan roared, swinging his fist with all his might and smashing it head-on at the tomb guardian.

Bang!

The two exchanged a punch, and Ling Yanyan's right arm instantly went numb, with excruciating pain spreading throughout his body.

"Hiss!" Ling Yanyan gasped, staring at the tomb keeper with suspicion and uncertainty.

Ling Yanyan possesses the cultivation level of the late stage of the second star, and his physique is extremely solid. If an ordinary person were to confront him head-on, their internal organs would definitely be shattered.

But the tomb keeper was completely unharmed, and his strength was incredibly formidable!

"Hahaha!" the tomb keeper sneered, "Boy, you'd better become my food."

Ling Yanyan caught a glimpse of the sharp teeth in the tomb keeper's mouth out of the corner of his eye, and was horrified. He immediately said, "You step back first, I have something important to tell you!"

"What important matter could you possibly have to offer?" The tomb keeper scoffed disdainfully, then said impatiently, "If you don't offer a sacrifice soon, I won't be so polite."

"I really have something important to say, something that concerns your lifespan," Ling Yanyan said confidently.

Upon hearing this, the tomb keeper frowned slightly and asked, "What is it?"

"Come with me." Ling Yanyan led the tomb keeper toward the entrance of the ancient tomb.

Upon entering the cave, Ling Yanyan stopped and pointed to several skeletons beside the tomb entrance, saying, "You killed these people, didn't you?"
