Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Chapter 543 Every second you hesitate now is a waste of your time!
"What, you don't want to?"

Master Mingxin saw through the corpse retriever's intentions at a glance.

To be honest, he was also reluctant to let the corpse retrievers join his team, but it was too late now!

He put his hands together in a gesture of worship to Buddha!

An incredibly terrifying pressure erupted from his body!

"The Yellow River Goddess was originally an offering prepared to appease the souls of the dead at the bottom of the river."

"It is the best offering to appease the spirits of the dead at the bottom of the river!"

"Moreover, once we obtain the inheritance of the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak, you will have countless Yellow River Goddesses."

"You, the corpse retriever, need to distinguish between primary and secondary tasks."

Don't make things difficult for me!

"If you are unwilling, then there is no need for you to continue existing."

"You should know that you are the best sacrifice!"

"Your blood has been specially formulated and is extremely attractive to water ghosts!"

Master Mingxin chuckled, and the corpse retriever could feel a menacing gaze fixed on him, causing his neck to crack.

All the pressure was on the corpse retriever. He knew that once he lost his usefulness, Master Mingxin would throw him into the river to feed the water ghosts!
This Venerable Mingxin is absolutely capable of doing such a thing; he is not as magnanimous as a monk!

A warrior who looked like a bull's head slowly walked over, staring wide-eyed at the corpse retriever.

At the same time, he snorted loudly!

"Corpse retriever, if you're not willing, my steel fork won't let you off the hook."

"I will smash your bones with my heavy hooves, crush your bones!"

"Every second you hesitate is a waste of your time! And a waste of our time, do you understand that?!"

"The bull-headed man said with extreme anger."

"Yes, and so are we. We'll steal your soul and plunge it directly into the River of the Dead, where the vengeful ghosts will devour it."

"Corpse retriever, this is what will happen if you disobey our orders."

Horse-face made the same threat, raising his steel fork and smashing it hard against a rock.

With a loud bang, the stone shattered into pieces.

The stones along the Yellow Springs River are as hard as rocks, even harder than superalloy metals.

The horse-faced demon shattered the stone so easily, which required immense strength. If I had disobeyed the horse-faced demon's orders, my head would have been shattered into pieces like the stone!
The Ox-Head and Horse-Face demons directly forced the corpse retrievers to take to the mountains!

Ye Bai knew that the two of them had made a pact with the legendary spirits of Ox-Head and Horse-Face from the Yan Kingdom, which was somewhat similar to the method used by the immortals of Northeast China to invite gods to possess them.

They were assimilated by the ox-headed and horse-faced demons through their long-term association with them.

At the same time, their personality will change drastically, and they will address each other as peers, such as Ox-Head and Horse-Face!
Seeing that others were starting to come forward with threats, the corpse retriever finally nodded.

If you don't touch the Yellow River Goddess, you'll die. It's a choice!
Faced with the choice between saving their loved ones and saving their own lives, the body retriever chose to save his own life!

"Alright, I will use the Yellow River Goddess, but you must compensate me for my losses."

"I poured all my energy into creating this!"

The person who retrieved the body said with heartache.

He originally intended to use these Yellow River Goddesses in large-scale sacrificial ceremonies as offerings to help him break through to the eighth rank.

As a result, they were forced to use it, and the corpse retrievers felt somewhat unwilling.

He didn't want to contribute for free; after the corpse retrievers left, they could create another batch using the resources!
"compensation?"

"What are you daydreaming about in broad daylight?"

"We let you join just so you can put in the work and effort. When it comes to the final harvest, we'll take the lion's share, and the scraps will be yours."

"Don't let us hear these words again, or I will burn your souls to the ground!"

Ox-Head and Horse-Face spoke in unison in a deep, muffled voice.

Those two are Master Mingxin's two henchmen; their will is Master Mingxin's will!
To put it bluntly, it is

The best mouth substitute for Master Mingxin!
The corpse retriever's expression changed instantly!
"Are you trying to teach me how to do things?"

What corpse retrievers hate most is being bossed around and told what to do while they're working!

At this moment, Master Mingxin slowly opened his mouth!
"Corpse retriever, our time is limited. Don't waste my time, or you know the consequences!"

"You wouldn't want to have your soul burned in the fires of hell, would you?"

"Isn't she the Yellow River Goddess?"

"What's so unspeakable?"

Threatened again by Master Mingxin, even a clay figure has three fires!
But the corpse retriever simply swallowed his anger and kept quiet! He didn't voice his thoughts!
"I see!"

"I'll do it!"

The body retriever tapped the stone statue with a bamboo pole.

He struck the stone statue at a very peculiar frequency, producing a thumping sound!

The eyes of the stone statues instantly turned blood red. They stood up unsteadily, carrying large red stone coffins that creaked and groaned.

"Stone statue, heed my command! Release the Yellow River Goddess sealed within the stone coffin!"

"Throw him into the underworld!"

The stone statue opened the stone slab inside its belly, revealing rows of red coffins!
The coffins fell into the Yellow Springs River with a thud, one after another, forming a bridge of coffins!

In the turbulent Yellow River, a row of red coffins lay quietly in the water!
A sickening sound came from the coffin, and the surrounding river surface began to boil.

It looked like something was trying to emerge from the river!
Through his golden pupils, the corpse retriever saw numerous vengeful ghosts gnawing at the bottom of the coffin.

They visibly eroded the bottom of the coffin, revealing the Yellow River Goddess dressed in a bright red robe.

The corpse of the Yellow River Goddess instantly sucked in a large number of vengeful ghosts.

She used her own body as a vessel to seal all the vengeful spirits within her.

At the same time, her body size continued to expand at the speed of an inflating balloon!
The coffin remained steadily on the river, and the rushing river seemed to have come to a standstill.

"It's done, everyone come over here quickly!" the corpse retriever shouted to everyone immediately!

Everyone looked on with suspicion towards the corpse retriever!
Is this some kind of scam?
If it was so easy to succeed, why did the body retriever take so long? Doesn't that clearly indicate something fishy is going on?

Master Mingxin smiled faintly at the corpse retriever and said, "Corpse retriever, since you are so confident, you can go first!"

"Let me check if these coffin lids are stable. Will they suddenly fall apart?"

Master Mingxin's words made the corpse retriever extremely unhappy.

Even if you knew I had tampered with things, you didn't need to say these things!

Just as I expected, you're still so wary of us. Master Mingxin, you really chill my heart. When you asked me to come out of seclusion before, at least you would put on an act. Now you've simply stopped pretending.

The body retriever said he was very angry and the consequences would be severe; he even considered burying the entire crew here!

Since you are unjust, then I will be unjust too!

I'll give you a performance!
The corpse retriever stepped directly onto the coffin lid. Like a monkey, he nimbly swam across the coffin lid and soon crossed to the other side of the river.

Once the corpse retriever stepped onto solid ground, he waved to Master Mingxin to show that his coffin lid was very sturdy.

"Wait, Purple-Robed Ghost Taoist, send a few more recruits up to test the waters. I have a feeling something's wrong!"

Master Mingxin is a very cautious person; caution prevents major mistakes!
The purple-robed ghost Taoist also had this plan!
The purple-robed ghost Taoist priest made the Soul-Suppressing Bell ring out!
Before long, the ghost soldiers walked along the coffin lid, among them were blood-red skeletons disguised as ghost soldiers!
Ye Bai was secretly delighted. He had passed this test so easily. It seemed that the corpse retriever was trying to catch a big fish, so he hadn't done anything wrong!

"Okay, let's go quickly!"

After Master Mingxin gave the order, everyone stepped onto the rickety coffin lid. However, when they reached the middle, the coffin lid seemed unable to bear the weight and began to fall apart.

The coffin poured into the River of the Dead, creating huge waves.

The yellowish river water spilled into the air, emitting a sour and foul smell!
The unsteady ox-headed and horse-faced demons tumbled and fell into the Yellow Springs River.

Countless vengeful spirits swirled in the water, like sharks drawn by the scent of blood!
Sensing something was wrong, they hurriedly swam towards the coffin lid, but soon they felt a pulling force coming from below, plunging them headlong into the direction of the Yellow Springs River.

After hearing a few gurgling bubbles, the white bones of the Ox-Head and Horse-Face emerged from the water.

They have naturally become part of the River of the Dead, becoming one of its inhabitants!
This made some people's scalp tingle!
My God, this corpse retriever is going too far! I left everyone's lives here, and he wants to monopolize the inheritance of the Eastern Peak Emperor!

Grandma Yellow Skin was being carried by the spirits of countless weasels, swaying precariously on the coffin lid.

Several times she was about to fall into the River of the Dead, but he kept her steady!
"You dare to resort to such underhanded tactics, you corpse retriever!"

Master Mingxin was naturally furious!
His four paper figures landed on one of the coffin lids, but he could feel the wronged souls in the river gnawing on the coffin lid!
He must cross the river as soon as possible!
"Haha, Venerable Mingxin, how does it taste?"

The corpse retriever said with a sinister grin.

"Haha, after burying you all here, the legacy of the Eastern Peak Emperor will be mine!"

The body retriever has revealed his ambition!

"Now that I'm on the other side, what can you do to me?"

"I sacrificed the Yellow River Goddess, and now it's your turn to sacrifice yourself and engage in self-criticism!"

The corpse retriever laughed maniacally!

He had long since realized he didn't like the person he loved, and now it was up to her to decide.

"Then I choose to marry you!"

Countless fine threads, like spider silk, appeared on the body retriever's body.

Then the body retriever's hands began to move involuntarily!

"Master Mingxin, what exactly did you do? Why are my hands out of my control?"

The corpse retriever said in utter terror.

"It's very simple, because as soon as you joined the gang, I had the puppeteer install Star Puppet Strings on you."

"When you betray me, the Star Puppet Threads will be revealed!"

"He will act according to my wishes, such as making the coffin lids form a coffin bridge again!"

The corpse retrievers watched in horror as the coffin boards were pieced together again. Many of the coffin boards had been corroded by the River of the Dead, revealing large holes!

Master Mingxin and his party easily reached the other side!
"Corpse retriever, we let you go because we didn't want anyone in the team to be half-hearted, as that would make things incredibly difficult for everyone!"

"Just kill yourself, and you'll at least have a whole corpse!"

The corpse retriever picked up the ancestral giant dragon bamboo, and with trembling hands, he opened his mouth and inserted the bamboo directly into his mouth, dying in front of everyone!

The corpses retrieved by the body retrievers were not wasted; they were thrown directly into the River of the Dead!
"It's a pity that the giant dragon bamboo of the corpse retriever destroyed itself before he died, otherwise this magical artifact would have been quite useful!"

Master Mingxin casually tossed the giant dragon bamboo, which the corpse retrievers regarded as a treasure, onto the ground, and then led some people into the next passage!

At this moment, Ye Bai manipulated the blood-red skeleton to walk over!
The crimson skull gripped the giant dragon bamboo tightly, and after a short while, it stuffed the bamboo into its skull to avoid Mingxin Shangren's inspection!
Soon, the Giant Dragon Bamboo appeared in Ye Bai's hand.

This giant bamboo is about two and a half meters long, and golden runes are engraved on its body!

However, most of these runes are damaged and need to be repaired by an enchanter.

At this moment, the Sunflower Fairy's clone emerged from the water, having already placed the corpse retriever's body into the space within its own body.

Judging from Ye Bai's words, this guy is a wanted criminal, and his head can be exchanged for a lot of resources. Why not?

They passed through another passage filled with lava, and the number of people decreased somewhat.

This level is the Millstone Level, where an enormous millstone is spinning at high speed, and countless corpses are rapidly rotating inside it.

The crowd could vaguely see an exit inside the millstone.

They watched as countless skulls were crushed into powder, only to reappear out of thin air in the blink of an eye.

"This is the Millstone Gate. Originally, it would have been the best outcome if Ox-Head and Horse-Face had come here. Their brute strength would have been enough to stop the millstone, allowing us all to enter the next gate together."

Master Mingxin felt it was a pity; if the corpse retriever hadn't been so disobedient, this problem wouldn't have occurred!
The ever-changing butterfly poked its head out, finding the enormous millstone very intriguing.

The sunflower fairy, however, sat cross-legged on Ye Bai's hair like an old man.

The roots of the sunflower are very resilient and can stop the millstone from moving.

"How about this, if anyone is willing to step forward, I'll give them ten percent of this reward!"

After hearing Master Mingxin's words, everyone lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

What a joke! Once you're in there, you basically can't get out. Master Mingxin is quite generous with rewards, but no one is willing to step forward!
