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

Chapter 561

Ling Yanyan flashed forward and instantly closed in, delivering a whip kick to the zombie.

"boom!"

The zombie was whipped and fell to the ground, its head hitting the ground, causing blood to flow from its seven orifices. It screamed and fainted.

Seeing the zombie collapse, Ling Yanyan stepped forward to treat it, but suddenly, he froze!

The zombie's belly was swollen like a ball, as if it were pregnant, which looked very eerie.

What's even more bizarre is that the zombie's body shriveled up at a visible rate, eventually turning into a dried-up corpse.

"What... what's going on?" Ling Yanyan was dumbfounded.

How can a zombie turn into a dried-up corpse when it's clearly dead?

Has it come back to life?

Ling Yanyan quickly squatted down to investigate.

"Huh?" Ling Yanyan asked in confusion, "The zombie's corpse energy has been completely drained!"

Ling Yanyan frowned. This zombie was actually using corpse energy to sustain its life. Now that the corpse energy was exhausted, it could no longer live.

However, a milky white bead had actually condensed inside the zombie's body!

The bead emitted a strange fluctuation, and a cold and evil aura emanated from it.

"This is... corpse poison?" Ling Yanyan asked in surprise.

He hadn't expected that the zombie's stomach contained corpse poison; no wonder its corpse aura had mysteriously disappeared.

"Hahaha. It's like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it come to you effortlessly!"

Ling Yanyan was extremely excited. He never expected that he would actually dig up a Corpse Poison Bead when he just wanted to test whether the bead could improve his speed.

These Corpse Poison Beads have many uses; some can create deadly poisons, some possess powerful attack capabilities, and others can grant the user extraordinary speed.

In short, each Corpse Poison Bead represents a specific effect; however, the potency of each Corpse Poison Bead varies.

Of course, the power of the Corpse Poison Bead is related to the mental strength of the refiner.

Alchemists are rare in this world, so the pills they refine often contain extremely strong medicinal properties. While pills refined by ordinary cultivators may have similar medicinal properties, their quality is far inferior to those refined by alchemists.

Although Ling Yanyan was a novice alchemist, he possessed the heaven-defying technique, the "Primordial Chaos Manual," which allowed him to rely entirely on it.

Use the "Secrets" to enhance your mental strength.

The stronger one's mental strength, the more precious the pills that an alchemist can refine.

"I wonder how much speed this Corpse Poison Bead will increase for me?" Ling Yanyan took out the Corpse Poison Bead and examined it carefully for a while.

The bead is about the size of an egg, round and smooth, and emits a faint green light.

"Tick-tock!"

Suddenly, a sliver of pale purple liquid shot from Ling Yanyan's left eye and landed on the Corpse Poison Bead.

"Buzz!"

The bead trembled slightly, as if it had been stimulated, and emitted a dazzling light. At the same time, a strong, fishy stench filled the forest, making people nauseous!

Ling Yanyan suppressed his nausea and hurriedly activated the "Chaos Primordial Technique" to devour the corpse poison within the bead.

"Hoo!" As the corpse poison entered his body, Ling Yanyan's body trembled slightly. At the same time, a cool and refreshing feeling swept through his body, making him feel warm all over.

Not only that, Ling Yanyan's previously depleted mental energy was also rapidly restored.

Ling Yanyan's mental strength was at the peak of level five, just one step away from level six. After absorbing the corpse poison from the zombie's stomach, Ling Yanyan's mental strength finally reached level six.

"Not bad!" Ling Yanyan looked at his body with a smile and said with satisfaction.

His mental strength has improved, so his speed must have improved as well.

However, no matter how fast Ling Yanyan was, she couldn't escape the zombie's claws!

"brush!"

The zombie's enormous claws tore through the void and slammed down on Ling Yanyan.

"hehe!"

Ling Yanyan sneered, ducked to avoid the zombie's claws, and then kicked out again, striking the zombie in the abdomen and sending it flying several meters away.
