If I don’t become the last one, I will be immortal!

Chapter 76 A life-or-death crisis
Fanxing and Yu Ruoxue followed the breath of the mountain master all the way and finally came to the center of the mountain, where they saw the lonely grave standing there.

"It seems we have arrived at our destination." Yu Ruoxue said, looking at the tombstone in front of the grave.

Fanxing nodded and also observed the tombstone, "This grave looks quite old."

Yu Ruoxue nodded in agreement. Although the tombstone in front of the grave looked old, the area around the grave was well maintained. There was not a single weed, and it was even surrounded by unknown wild flowers.

Just as the two were hesitating whether to dig up the grave, the ground suddenly shook violently.

Seeing this, the two of them quickly jumped back a distance, and then they saw bulges appearing on the ground, and purple hands emerging from them.

Those hands dug up the soil, and then zombie-like people crawled out from it, all of them men.

Fanxing frowned, "What? A zombie?"

Yu Ruoxue, who had a broader perspective, shook her head. "They're not zombies. Zombies are spirits. These are probably the living dead. Someone is controlling them from behind."

As soon as she finished speaking, a zombie pounced towards her with its fangs and claws bared.

At this time, she had already merged with the bear doll again, so she punched it without hesitation.

With a dull thud, the zombie flew backwards, but quickly got up from the ground, looking unharmed.

Fanxing also swung her sword at a zombie, but the zombie reached out and grabbed her sword, and the Bone Sword failed to cut through its body.

What a strong body! Fanxing was surprised.

She suddenly let go of the Bone Sword, then kicked the zombie in the chest, kicking it away.

After the captured bone sword moved away from the stars, it turned into star-like dark green light and disappeared.

Fanxing's Bone Sword does not exist in reality, but is formed by Yin-attributed spiritual energy. Once it is away from Fanxing, its creator, it will automatically disappear.

Soon, Fanxing and his friends were surrounded by hundreds of zombies.

These zombies are much more difficult to deal with than the wooden puppets summoned by the mountain master. Although they also have no skills, their bodies are too strong and difficult to destroy.

As long as their bodies are not damaged, they can stand up again no matter how many times they are knocked down.

"Meow~" Yato slapped a zombie away. The zombie flew backwards and hit many of its companions along the way, but they soon got up together again.

The sharp ice blades on the soles of the Black Swan Dancer's feet cut towards the zombie's throat, but it was like cutting on steel and could not move forward at all. Instead, she was grabbed by the ankles by the zombie and thrown out, falling heavily to the ground.

These living dead are not only sturdy in body, but also extremely strong.

After repelling another wave of zombies, Fanxing and Yu Ruoxue stood back to back.

Fanxing: "Could it be that all those missing people have been turned into the living dead?"

Yu Ruoxue nodded: "It's possible, but most of the living dead here have probably been around for a long time, otherwise they wouldn't be so powerful."

The living dead need to be constantly nourished by their controllers with psychic energy. The longer they are nourished, the stronger they become.

They are a very special kind of existence. Their souls have died, but their bodies remain immortal due to the special power of the undead, so they are called the living dead.

The immortality here does not mean that these corpses are still alive, but simply means that they will not rot.

"Is there any way to solve them?" asked Fanxing.

These guys are so difficult to deal with. Their bodies are like cast copper and iron, and it is impossible to hit them.

Yu Ruoxue said, "It's very simple. Find their controller. Once you defeat them, these zombies will lose their power and disappear in an instant!"

Fanxing frowned upon hearing this. Simple? How could it be simple? The controller had clearly hidden himself on purpose. Now they were surrounded by the undead. How could they find him?
As time goes by, Fanxing and the others are becoming more and more exhausted. If this continues, they will surely be exhausted to death.

After once again chopping off a zombie with the Bone Sword, Fanxing stared at their blue and purple bodies and suddenly had an idea.

What would happen if she shared her life with these living dead? Could they come alive without souls?

Thinking of this, she activated the skill Life Scale.

Deep within Fanxing's body, a pitch-black scale slowly took shape, with a shadow appearing on each side of the scale.

On one side are the stars, and on the other side are hundreds of living dead.

As green light flashed on both sides simultaneously, the endless life of the stars began to flow towards the living dead.

Life Scale is a skill that divides life equally. It can be used for treatment, but it is different from other treatment skills.

The bodies of the living dead are in a state of being half dead, so naturally the life of the stars flows to them. It is impossible for them to share their life with the stars.

After a while, the skill was activated and hundreds of zombies absorbed the vitality of the stars like black holes.

While fighting, Fanxing stared at the zombies attacking him, wanting to see if they would change.

Looking at the zombies with their fangs and claws bared, Fanxing frowned slightly: No reaction?

She did sense a significant loss of her life force.

Wouldn't it be possible that by doing this she would actually strengthen her opponent?

But she soon realized that she was overthinking it. After a fight, she found that the living dead did not become stronger because of it.

So her skills were wasted? Fanxing couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Wait... At this moment, she keenly noticed that the bruises on the faces of the zombies seemed to have disappeared a little.

Soon, the cooling time of the Libra of Life ended, and Fanxing cast the Libra of Life again.

She wanted to see what would happen to these living dead after they absorbed her life force.

Then came the third time, the fourth time... As time passed, the purple color on the faces of the living dead had completely disappeared, replaced by a pale white.

By this time, Fanxing had already used the Libra of Life for the 9th time.

At the same time, Yu Ruoxue, Ye Dou and the Black Swan Dancer were all exhausted and out of breath.

Just when Fanxing thought that the zombies would still have no reaction this time, they all suddenly stopped moving, as if the pause button was pressed.

At the same time, Lin, who was hiding in the dark, was surprised to find that he had lost control of the living dead and could not even sense their existence.

It's as if they... disappeared out of thin air.

How could that be possible? He had been cultivating the living dead for hundreds of years!
Seeing the zombies suddenly stop moving, Yu Ruoxue was a little confused for a moment. She gasped and asked, "What's wrong with them? Why are they suddenly motionless?"

At the same time, she also discovered that the appearance of the living dead had changed dramatically.

Previously they were in a state of half-rottenness, but now they look a bit like fresh corpses.

Fanxing was also stunned because she found that she seemed to be able to control these living dead.

No, are they still the living dead?
She tried to control the zombie closest to her with her mind, wanting it to move, and it actually moved. It stretched out its hand and scratched its cheek, as if it was scratching an itch.

Not only that, Fanxing also discovered that her painted skin had an extra characteristic. Race: Painted Skin (mutated)

Positioning: auxiliary type
Awakening a second characteristic, Fanxing had never heard of such a thing, but there was no doubt that her ability to control these living dead must be related to the new characteristic she had just awakened.

But this feature seems a bit mysterious, and even she herself can't figure out the specific effect.

It seems to be a command-type characteristic.

This type of trait is very rare, and the most typical one is the trait that monster-type spirits may awaken - "Demon King". Spirits with this trait have the ability to command monster-type spirits.

There is also "hope" among the seven virtues. Souls with this characteristic have the ability to make angelic souls submit.

Some of the spiritual seeds will be born with some extremely special characteristics. Because of their powerful effects, they are called superior characteristics. The most representative of them are the "Seven Sins" and "Seven Virtues".

The seven sins are: pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony and lust.

The seven virtues are: chastity, hope, generosity, humility, fortitude, order, and mercy.

The "superiority" of these characteristics is not only reflected in their powerful effects, but also because they are unique (as long as the spirit seed with this characteristic does not die, a second spirit seed with this characteristic will not be born), cannot be exchanged, and cannot be eliminated (some skills have the ability to exchange the characteristics of the enemy and the friendly party, and eliminate the enemy's characteristics).

Among them, the characteristics of the stars, "reality" and "immortality", are both superior characteristics, which are unique, non-exchangeable, and indelible.

At this time, Ye Dou, Yu Ruoxue and the Black Swan Dancer all gathered around Fanxing. Yu Ruoxue asked in confusion, "What is going on?"

Fanxing shook her head and pretended to be confused: "I don't know either."

As she thought about it, all the zombies quickly retreated and soon disappeared into the forest.

This made Yu Ruoxue even more confused.

Seeing that she wanted to say something else, Fanxing quickly said, "Don't worry about anything else for now, just quickly recover your psychic energy. The controller of the living dead hasn't appeared yet. Maybe all this is his conspiracy."

Yu Ruoxue had no choice but to nod after hearing this.

Just as she took out the psychic gem, a figure appeared in the air. It was Lin who had been hiding in the dark. His long seaweed-like hair was flying in the air, as if he had a pair of wings.

"What did you do to my undead?" His face was full of anger.

Yu Ruoxue was confused when she heard this. What can we do to your living dead? It was incomprehensible.

But she still looked at the stars with some doubt. Could it be her work?
But on second thought, it seemed impossible.

Then she heard Fanxing say, "You controlled the zombies to attack us, and you asked us what we did to them. How ridiculous!"

Fanxing's serious and genuine expression successfully dispelled Yu Ruoxue's doubts.

Fanxing is only C-level, how can he possibly seize control of the living dead from the hands of B-level spirit species?
At the same time, she pointed the spirit seed atlas at Lin.

After looking at the opponent's attributes, Yu Ruoxue took a breath and said to Fanxing without hesitation: "It's impossible to defeat him, retreat!"

Fanxing also didn't hesitate at all and turned around and ran with Yadou.

Lin sneered at this and asked, "Want to leave?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds and heavy rain fell in an instant.

I saw a giant bow formed by the power of water taking shape in Lin's hand. Then he pulled the bowstring, and an arrow quickly took shape.

"Hey~"

Accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking through the air, blue arrows shot into the sky and turned into dense arrows falling down.

Feeling a strong sense of crisis, Fanxing turned around suddenly and activated her water control skill. A huge water curtain formed above her and Yu Ruoxue's heads.

This heavy rain did increase the power of Lord Shenshui Baigu, but it also provided Fanxing with the conditions to fully utilize his water control skills.

Boo~hoo~hoo~
The water arrows fell on the water curtain, most of them were absorbed, but a small part penetrated the water curtain and hit Fanxing, Ye Dou, Yu Ruoxue and the Black Swan Dancer, and their bodies were immediately stained red with blood.

Fortunately, no one was hit in the vital parts, so they managed to save their lives.

But the crisis has not disappeared. What they are facing now is a B-level offensive spirit species, which is definitely not comparable to the previous mountain master.

Seeing that Fanxing actually had water-attribute skills, a hint of surprise flashed across Lin's face, but it was quickly replaced by disdain.

Even if he knew water-based skills, what would it matter? A mere C-rank could only protect him temporarily, but could it protect him forever?
Thinking of this, he pulled the water bow in his hand again, intending to continue firing sinking arrows.

Fanxing, who was fleeing for her life below, felt her scalp tingling. She knew very well that it was already difficult for her to defend against the opponent's first wave of attacks, and she would definitely not be able to defend against the second wave.
