Chapter 491: Chapter 90_4

At this critical moment, a pale hand reached out and grabbed the head, lifting it up.

Yin Meng raised her eyes and looked at the young man standing in front of her.

Li Zhiyuan looked down at her, "Next time, only use the life-swapping move when absolutely necessary."

"Hiss! Hiss!"

A black snake with torn skin and a burnt stench rapidly darted out from the head held by the young man, lunging straight at his face.

Li Zhiyuan didn’t even glance at it, he just snapped his fingers with his left hand.

"Snap!"

The black snake’s body froze instantly.

Li Zhiyuan continued looking at Yin Meng and said, "If I hadn’t neutralized what it tried to spit out earlier and burned up most of the little snakes inside it, when you got close just now, any random snake coming out could have bitten you and poisoned you."

As he spoke, the young man reached out to grasp the stiff snake body, and vaguely, a distortion folded there, as if invisible flames had ignited in his palm.

Already charred black, the snake’s body began to crack at this moment, its flesh separating, finally turning to ashes and falling down.

Li Zhiyuan brushed the ashes off his hands, but still felt the slippery grease of the snake on his hands.

He could only turn around, find a pile of sand, and grab a handful to rub his hands.

On the other side, the Corpse Demon, having lost its head, had already begun to gradually turn into pus.

Li Zhiyuan walked to the side and asked Run Sheng, "Is it male or female?"

Its complexion was too pale, its body swollen, and it wore a discolored long robe, making it hard to see its gender before death.

"I don’t know, let me check."

Run Sheng said as he picked up the Yellow River Shovel and poked downwards.

"Forget it, no need."

"Oh, okay."

Li Zhiyuan walked over to Tan Wenbin, using his knuckles to lightly tap Tan Wenbin’s forehead three times, then closed his eyes and covered Tan Wenbin’s face with his palm.

After a few breaths, Li Zhiyuan suddenly lifted his hand upwards, and as Tan Wenbin opened his eyes, his neck tilted up along with it.

"Crack!"

"Ah... oh..."

Tan Wenbin woke up, but he was clutching his own neck.

Li Zhiyuan: "What’s wrong?"

"Brother Xiao Yuan, I twisted my neck, it hurts so much."

Tan Wenbin sat up, but his head was still tilted, as if he had a stiff neck.

Run Sheng glanced at him, "The only injury at work."

Tan Wenbin: "Does anyone know how to adjust bones?"

Run Sheng: "I’ll do it."

"*You get away.* Meng Meng, do you know how?"

"*I can only crack my own neck, I don’t dare crack others’.*"

Tan Wenbin could only look at Li Zhiyuan for help.

"Brother Binbin, after returning to school, go to the infirmary and see a doctor."

"Well, okay."

Li Zhiyuan stood beside the pond and looked down.

Run Sheng said, "Xiao Yuan, I’ll go down and see if there’s anything."

"Brother Runsheng, the water is filthy."

Not only was a floating corpse still on the surface, but it was also the former hiding place of the Corpse Demon.

"It’s not dirty, it’s okay."

Run Sheng took off his shirt and pants, and after a short run-up, he jumped in.

This brief action reminded Li Zhiyuan vaguely of the way Uncle Qin dived when crossing the river.

"Yin Meng, you clean up the equipment. Brother Binbin, go check on those people."

Li Zhiyuan walked over to the "Corpse" but could no longer see it, there was only a puddle of pus and a piece of clothing.

Using an iron rod to poke at it, he found many thin, black crispy things inside the clothing, which scattered upon touching. They were probably the small snakes inside the original "Corpse."

If the green mist had really sprayed out along with the poisonous snakes inside, it would have been truly hard to handle.

Apart from that, he only saw a piece of black stone, which originally seemed to be a Jade Pendant, but it was long soaked with corpse energy and had become worthless.

Li Zhiyuan applied some force, knocking on it, and the jade shattered, revealing black powder inside.

Fortunately, Li Zhiyuan hadn’t had high hopes for it. Sometimes scavenging corpses was just a habit, like fishing for a "Corpse," enjoying the process.

Tan Wenbin walked back in a circle and said, "Brother Xiao Yuan, those monks and Taoists are all unconscious now, seriously injured, but it’s just broken arms or legs, no life-threatening condition. However, over there, I just saw one. A thief must have been in a hurry while escaping and fell onto a steel bar, such a thick steel bar, directly pierced through the chest, probably won’t make it."

"Did he see your face?"

"No, he didn’t, his face wasn’t towards me."

There was a commotion underwater as Run Sheng surfaced and came ashore, holding an incense burner in his hand.

"Xiao Yuan, it’s a mess down there. There should have been a Water Burial, which got dug up. I thought this thing might have some value, so take a look."

Li Zhiyuan took the incense burner. It was small, about the size of a palm, but very heavy.

The base was a turtle, and there was a stele in the middle of the incense burner.

Li Zhiyuan said, "This is used for divination and fate measurements, burning incense to ask about fortune and misfortune."

Run Sheng scratched his head, "Then it’s useless for you, Xiao Yuan."

"It’s useful. In the future, if there’s a fork in the road and we don’t know which way to go, we can light an incense and ask it. If we enter a Water Burial tomb again, we can also use it to guide the way."

Tan Wenbin asked, "How is that different from flipping a coin?"

"You have to use it with the Compass, Yin-seeking path-finding Magic Technique, and fate chart calculations."

Tan Wenbin blinked, "If only they taught this in advanced math class."

"Brother Runsheng, put it away. When the team moves out in the future, bring it along."

"Okay."

Run Sheng put his clothes back on and reached out to take the incense burner.

"Wait, there are words on the bottom." Li Zhiyuan lifted the incense burner again. Previously submerged in water, it was dark all over and couldn’t be seen clearly, but now that it had dried a bit, white knife marks appeared in the engraving.
