Chapter 125: Call Him Mommy (1)Translator: Guy Gone Bad
Staring at the piles of high-grade ingredients for refining magic weapons, Xinghe and Yin Jinye couldn’t help widely opening their mouths, “What’s going on? Where did you get those ingredients?”
Rong Yi then told them the whole story about the little zombie.
Yin Jinye wondered, “I didn’t see any child when I used my spiritual sense to scan the whole place.”
“He probably went out to play and didn’t come back until you entered the tomb. Luckily, he was just a zombie kid who didn’t kill. Otherwise, we would all be dead.”
Xinghe looked at the little zombie circling around Yin Jinye and asked, “Young master, why is he following you? Will he follow you back to Haishan City? Then it will be troublesome. If anyone finds him, they may kill or ground him.”
Rong Yi also felt it was not appropriate to bring a zombie back, “Well…”
Feeling he was going to be abandoned, the little zombie rushed back to Rong Yi’s side, firmly tying Rong Yi’s neck as if saying he would not separate with Rong Yi.
“Ahem, ahem, let go, let go, you are strangling me.” The harder Rong Yi tried to pull off his arms, the tighter he was holding his neck. Rong Yi felt his neck was about to break, “Are you trying to strangle me to death?”
Xinghe frowned, “He seems to be afraid of us… No, he is afraid that you will dump him.”
Rong Yi said hurriedly, “We will take you with us, so stop.”
Hearing this, the little zombie was glad and immediately loosened his hands and flew to the front of those ingredients, skillfully wrapping them with the cloth.
“Ahem, ahem, oops…” Rong Yi rubbed his sore neck and took out the Spring Hell Flower to Yin Jinye with a helpless face, “This is the flower from the corpse that you thought was stolen. But its level is not enough. The woman corpse should have reached no higher than the level of Wandering Immortal phase when she died.”
Yin Jinye took it over and looked at it carefully, “Is this the Spring Hell Flower?”
“Yes.”
Xinghe asked, “Young master, how do you know? Have you ever seen it before?”
Rong Yi nodded, “Yes, I have seen it before, but the level of this one is not high enough, and it has been sun-dried.”
“Why has it been sun-dried?”
“After leaving the corpse, the flower cannot survive for a long time. If it is not taken immediately, it will easily go bad. So people dry and store it, but its efficacy will weaken after the process.”
Noticing the little zombie put the female corpse into the big cloth bag, Yu Bin said to Rong Yi, “Young master, it seems he wants to take the corpse with him.”
Rong Yi looked at the busy little zombie and said, “Let him. His mother was buried alive as the funerary. She definitely wouldn’t want to stay here. We’ll find another place to bury her when we get back.”
Yu Bin asked, “You sure? What if he hurts people after he goes back with us?”
“Even if I don’t do that, he will still follow us. When I return home, I will stick a rune onto him to help him understand human personalities and let others teach him to speak and how to behave.” Rong Yi had learned the speed of zombies, the kid could definitely catch up with them if they abandoned him.
Since Rong Yi said so, no one had a further disagreement, even Yin Jinye did not oppose.
“The trip is really worth it. At least we know the shape of the Spring Hell Flowers now. It will be easier for us to find more in the future.” said Yin Jinye.
Rong Yi asked, “Are you going to another tomb next?”
Xinghe said, “Our next destination is the number one evil cultivation sect – Demon Habitat Hall in Zhonghai Prefecture. The Demon Habitat Hall was located in the Evil Wasteland. It is a gathering place for those evil cultivators, 10,000 li away from here. The evil cultivators buried their ancestors in the Evil Forest. Every time they offered sacrifices, they would kill a group of cultivators from decent sects to worship their ancestors. Therefore, many ghosts were trapped in the Evil Forest. If junior cultivators enter into it by mistake, they would easily be taken away their bodies.”
Rong Yi’s eyebrows puckered up. With his body constitution, he was not suitable to go to places occupied by ghosts, or he would be eaten as food.
“Where is the third one?”
“The third one is in Blood Beast Valley, which is not a sect, but the residence of the beasts and monsters. It’s about 15,000 li from here, full of beasts and monsters. When they get old and are about to die, they would go back to their birthplace. For them, the fallen leaves will eventually return to their roots.”
“Blood Beast Valley!” Hearing the words, Wind Inducing and Mantis Wave flew over excitedly. “I haven’t been back to the valley for many years. I really want to go back and see if my friends are still there.”
Mantis Wave said, “I also want to meet my families,”
Rong Yi looked over to them, “We are going to dig the graves of your ancestors to look for the Spring Hell Flower. Do you still welcome us?”
Words failed Wind Inducing and Mantis Wave momentarily.
“Our beast race admire all the ancestors from different species. If you disturb them, you will arouse the anger of the whole beast race, and be hunted down.” Mantis Wave said angrily.
Xinghe said, “We need to take a long-term view for the travel to Demon Habitat Hall and Blood Beast Valley. If only we were in Dongtang Prefecture, we would be able to bring large numbers of followers to sneak into the two places. By the way, I have sent a letter to the old lady, and she will also help look for ancestral graves and Spring Hell Flower in there.”
Yin Jinye asked, “When you found out about the Demon Habitat Hall and Blood Beast Valley, didn’t you send more hands there?”
“Yes, they will join us to Demon Habitat Hall in about three days.”
“Then, let’s go to Demon Habitat Hall first.”
Rong Yi said, “We shouldn’t stay here for too long. Let’s get out of here first and talk about things next.”
“Hmm.”
Then, everyone walked to the passage.
