American Zombie Detective

Chapter 24 Corpse-Raising Ground

Qin Jin practically crashed into the livestock pen behind the house!

The frightened sika deer all collapsed to the ground, completely unable to move due to the stench from hell and the unbearable cold!

Qin Jin, carrying Alessa, pounced on her like lightning and slammed a stag to the ground!

His fingertips traced the stag's carotid artery, and warm blood gushed out instantly. He then forcefully pressed Alessa's head against the carotid artery.

Driven by instinct, Alessa took a bite and sucked desperately!

After Alessa began to suck, Qin Jin suddenly lowered his head and bit down, the warm, rusty blood instantly filling his entire mouth!

The two simultaneously gulped down the life-giving liquid, their parched bodies satisfied, their bloodlust filled, and the burning desire that had consumed reason quickly subsided as if doused with a bucket of ice water.

However, deer blood could not completely suppress the desire for human blood.

For Qin Jin, having consumed animal blood for hundreds of years, he was able to suppress this urge to some extent. But Alessa in his arms was different. She had only been a zombie for a short time, and combined with her original attributes, her thirst for blood was much stronger!

As the stag gradually withered, Alessa finally raised her head, blood still dripping from the corner of her mouth. In the depths of her gray-blue pupils, struggle and longing were still fiercely battling.

Qin Jin immediately hoisted Alessa onto his back, then pulled out his belt and went around her.

"Alessa! Hold on! I'll help you!"

Qin Jin's voice carried an undeniable firmness as he used a leather belt to tie himself and Alessa together, securing them tightly to his back.

"If you drink human blood, you...you can't be with me anymore..."

The cold leather clung to her skin, yet it gave Aresa a strange sense of security, especially after Qin Jin said that she couldn't be with him if she drank blood. Aresa's eyes quickly focused, forcefully suppressing the surging instinct:

"I know, Qin, I'm trying... I... I don't want to be separated from you..."

Qin Jin suddenly looked up!

With his senses restored and Alessa nearly back to normal, he finally noticed the strangeness around him!

An unnatural chill emanated from the ground beneath his feet, and the coldness in the air came not only from the celestial dog eating the moon and the Five Elements Formation, but also from the unique aura of death emanating from his location!

"This is……"

Qin Jin's sharp gaze swept over the hollow halfway up the mountain, the cliff behind him, the mountains on both sides, and the strange shape of the wooden house...

A long-forgotten term flashed into his mind in an instant!

A place for raising corpses!

This is a naturally formed cadaver-raising ground!

Its location is precisely at the angle between two mountains, with a cliff on one side and a slope in front, but there's a strange depression here—

The land between two mountains is like a millstone, and the moon is half-moon-shaped on the opposite slope of the cliff. If you weigh out seven coins' worth of soil, the corpse will not decompose for ten thousand years!

This means that if, in this millstone-shaped terrain, you take a jar, fill it with clean water, bury it underground around the middle of the month, and cover the mouth of the jar with a tile, and if after one night the surface of the dust and dirt inside the jar is dried to a size of seven qian (approximately 35 grams), then this is a place for raising corpses.

No wonder Chen Bonian chose this location for the wooden house and the small ceremony venue!

Needless to say, his daughter's body must have been buried under the wooden house, which is why it hadn't decomposed.

Not only can corpse-raising grounds nourish corpses into zombies, but more importantly, they can gather yin energy, especially during events like a celestial dog eclipsing the moon.

No wonder, after experiencing so many strange celestial phenomena, it almost went out of control this time. The reason is actually this!

Before Qin Jin could ponder this further, Dante's voice rang out:

"Qin! Hurry, we can't hold on any longer! A huge thing has appeared!"

With shouts, he emerged disheveled from the back door, several carrion demons hot on his heels. He yelled as he ran:

"Inside... a hellish passage has appeared! A ghostly thing has possessed Chen Xue's corpse and is about to descend!"

"Get it!" Qin Jin, enraged and fierce, suddenly drew his pistol and simultaneously reached behind him to pull out Alessa's Gru Super Red Eagle, firing directly at the Carrion Demon:

"Charge forward!"

Before he finished speaking, Qin Jin had already rushed out from beside the wooden house, his two guns continuously firing bullets!

Although bullets cannot kill carrion monsters, their powerful impact can blast them back, creating holes, breaking limbs, and clearing a path!

Constantin followed closely behind, his runic revolver refilled again, and together with the sacred knuckle duster in his right hand, he coordinated with Qin Jin's attack!

The rune revolver is far more lethal to demons, and when combined with the divine power of the knuckle duster, each attack is accompanied by the screams of the carrion demons and the burning smoke.

The two fought their way to the front of the cabin, quickly shaking off the carrion demons' pursuit and successfully arriving.

Qin Jin directly pulled out the blood jade and threw it into the pool, shouting loudly:

"Hey! Time to collect the goods! The guy who woke you up and used you to kill is here!"

The blood jade traced an arc before disappearing into the cold, leaf-strewn pond with a splash.

One second... two seconds...

The pool remained calm, reflecting the hellfire burning in the wooden house and the shadows of the wildly dancing monster.

The roars of carrion monsters, the howls of growing monsters, and the groans of collapsing wooden houses filled our ears.

Constantine looked at Qin Jin in despair, not knowing what Qin Jin was doing!

Qin Jin wasn't really sure either; he was just giving it a try. But in his memory, if he could contact the paper bride by simply finding a body of water, there was no reason why she couldn't come over!

Of course, if he couldn't summon them, Qin Jin still had a backup plan. Seeing that there was no movement, he was already preparing to get on the Dodge and drive away from this place.

When the celestial dog devours the moon, and it's also a place for raising corpses, this place... while it can maximize Qin Jin and Aresa's strength, it also brings a huge risk of going out of control!

He didn't want to become a monster, so he had to avoid this battle!

Just as he was about to drive away, the surface of the pool began to change color without warning.

The clear mountain spring water, starting from where the blood jade fell, quickly spread out into a thick, indistinct ink color!

The ink seemed to have a life of its own, spreading wildly in all directions. In the blink of an eye, the entire pool turned into a bottomless pool of pitch-black ink!

Immediately afterwards, a chilling and terrifying aura emanated from the depths of the ink pool.

In the center of the pitch-black water, a glaring crimson spot rose silently and slowly.

That was the canopy of a sedan chair.

Crimson as blood, it was eerily suffocating in the pale moonlight and pervasive gloom. Then, the sedan chair slowly rose, and the paper bride, with her wedding procession, emerged from the pool, stepping out slowly on the water's surface!

The paper bride's cold voice carried a hint of impatience at being disturbed. When she sensed the strong smell of hellish sulfur, the atmosphere under her veil suddenly became extremely repulsive.

"What is it...?"

Before the words were even finished, a deafening roar erupted!

A large hole was smashed open in the front wall of the wooden house, and a pale monster crawled out of it. Its neck and head were like a snake, twisting strangely from side to side. Its limbs were completely reversed, like a huge pillar, with its hands and feet on the ground, supporting its body like a beast!

The once withered body swelled with ominous dark red muscle textures, and beneath the skin were blue blood vessels that writhed continuously.

Her face still vaguely resembled Chen Xue's, but the holes blasted by the Constanze rune revolver had all turned into mouths with fangs, and the eyes were squeezed between countless mouths, like burning sulfur flames!

"roar--!"

A non-human roar burst from her torn throat, echoing from hell, shaking the very air. Countless carrion demons followed behind it, pouring out of the wooden house in an endless stream!

"It's her!" Qin Jin didn't waste any words and pointed directly at the monster Chen Xue had transformed into:

"Her father, Chen Bonian, awakened you to use you as a tool, to revive her, and incidentally—"

His voice rose, almost shouting at the paper bride:

"Chen Bonian's grandfather was the same sorcerer who advised the Tong family to have you buried alive with them! I've found him. Whether you want revenge or not is up to you!"

From beneath the veil, a sharp, ear-piercing laugh suddenly erupted!

"So it was you!"

As the laughter subsided, the paper figures of the entire wedding procession suddenly floated and drifted towards the carrion-eating demons, like soldiers who had received orders!

The battle erupted instantly!
