Chapter 804: Chapter 804: Human Demon Cave

After confirming Wen Wen was a living person, the rotting corpse’s eyes lit up, and it limped towards Wen Wen.

Wen Wen tilted his head and took a few steps back, but the corpse continued to follow closely.

It hardly had any Supernatural Power, and its falling-apart body didn’t appear capable of killing, but Wen Wen had no intention of being touched by it.

Because, compared to this decayed corpse, even feces might be cleaner...

While the corpse drew Wen Wen’s attention, a figure clad in simple, black and red armor quietly approached Wen Wen from the other side, a long blade aimed at his neck.

The one who awakened the corpse was this armored figure, intending to distract Wen Wen.

Its intelligence wasn’t high; it merely thought using this method would be the easiest way to take Wen Wen’s life.

But just as it closed in within ten meters of Wen Wen, it suddenly stopped and quickly turned to run.

Because it just saw the corpse lunging at Wen Wen had suddenly been turned to ash by a burst of high temperature!

Not a charred body, but ash!

So the figure turned and fled; it wasn’t human, but it had a mind, knowing it couldn’t provoke an opponent it couldn’t possibly defeat.

"Tsk, it seems to have some intelligence."

As soon as the armored figure heard these words, it felt a pain in its back, then saw a throwing spear piercing through its body, pinning it to a stone ahead.

The runes on the spear greatly weakened the armored figure’s strength, and its position made it hard to exert force.

Wen Wen approached the figure, squatted down, and gently twisted its head. With a crack, the figure’s head spun around 180 degrees.

Wen Wen removed its armor, revealing a pale face with a coloration like a corpse frozen in a freezer for a long time.

"I’ve heard that you Undead, even if your bodies are shredded to bits, will resurrect on another corpse after some time. Is that true?"

The armored corpse glared at Wen Wen, baring a mouth full of sharp teeth.

"Seems you’re not going to satisfy my curiosity. Can you at least tell me where you come from, who your leader is..."

"Wakalakatowa!"

"What the hell?" Wen Wen frowned and flicked his finger, impaling the armored corpse’s body with a black Energy Sword: "You don’t understand my words?"

Afterward, Wen Wen tried different questions, but the armored corpse only repeated the same phrase.

However, it had a reaction to Inner World language, indicating it was a creature with intelligence. But since it couldn’t communicate with Wen Wen, further interrogation seemed pointless.

Wen Wen wasn’t officially part of the Qing Ridge Plateau mission, so he couldn’t get detailed intel from the Hunter Association.

As such, Wen Wen intended to use the armored corpse to test what this immortality deal was all about.

After deciding, Wen Wen yanked out the throwing spear suppressing the armored corpse and simply pulled off its head, like pulling a carrot.

With its head removed, the armored corpse walked around aimlessly, occasionally making attack motions, but clearly unable to hit anything.

"Its heart was already destroyed by me, which means even without a heart or head, this thing still doesn’t die."

After fumbling for about a minute, the armored corpse located where its head was, stumblingly rushing towards Wen Wen.

Wen Wen attempted to throw the head further away, but the armored corpse kept fixating on Wen Wen.

"It doesn’t seem to care much about its dismembered body parts, its body instinctively attacking any living creature..."

Then Wen Wen masked his presence, and only then did the armored corpse cease its attack, walking straight to its lost head, picking it up, and reattaching it. Within seconds, its neck was as good as new.

After recovering, a flicker of fear finally showed on the armored corpse’s pale face, realizing this human was experimenting on it!

"One last test..."

Wen Wen summoned several black Light Swords, piercing the armored corpse’s limbs, then led it towards the edge of the domain.

"If I kill this thing outside this Dim Domain, will it truly die?"

The armored corpse’s expression turned terrified upon seeing Wen Wen’s actions.

In the next moment, its body began to swell, then exploded violently with a boom, digging a large crater in the ground, scattering various body parts all around.

Wen Wen remained untainted, pinching his chin as he looked at the scattered flesh, shaking his head in disappointment.

"It’s unclear if these creatures can be killed outside the boundary, but they clearly fear leaving this Dim Domain. After such a self-destruction, it should revive somewhere else, and finding it again won’t be easy..."

Wen Wen didn’t dwell on it further, instead releasing flames to burn all the remains of the armored corpse to ash, continuing his journey towards Heavenly Pillar Peak.

This armored corpse wasn’t very powerful; its physical traits were only a bit above an average person, at best a bottom-tier Calamity Level monster.

At this level, within this Undead disaster, it was likely just cannon fodder.

And even such cannon fodder was tough to kill, making Wen Wen understand why the problem here had been unsolvable for so long.

...

Early the next morning, Su Nuo groggily looked at the ceiling, his consciousness still a bit fuzzy.

His mind had been tense for so long that he hadn’t slept so comfortably in ages.

He then subconsciously moved his fingers, suddenly sitting up with cold sweat densely covering his forehead.

Qin Shuhe... was gone!

He had been through rigorous military training, and in last night’s those circumstances, no matter how exhausted, he couldn’t have slept so soundly.

Moreover, Su Nuo had been holding Qin Shuhe’s hand as he slept, with a firm grip on the gun in his other hand, so it was impossible for her to pry his hand open without him knowing.

"Something’s wrong!"

Su Nuo’s mind immediately raced through a dozen possible bad scenarios before he began searching the Gan Zhe Temple.

He stopped every monk he encountered, every refugee, but no one had seen Qin Shuhe; such a large woman seemed to have vanished silently within Gan Zhe Temple.

Su Nuo stared blankly at the statues of Ming Dynasty kings around him, feeling as if each one was gazing at him, the temple exuding an eerie and terrifying aura. The sense of safety he felt here yesterday was completely gone.

Recalling the strange look Master Da Shan gave Qin Shuhe during dinner last night, Su Nuo suddenly realized.

This place wasn’t a refuge at all.

It was a cannibalistic den!
