The moment the carriage rolled into the Yin Kui Forest, all surrounding sounds were completely swallowed up.

There was no wind, no insect chirping, and even the eerie atmosphere unique to the Yin Road was eerily silent.

Thick, inky black fog enveloped the entire forest, the hazy mist clinging to the skin with a chilling, deathly stillness, as if one were immersed in an ice coffin that had never melted in millennia.

Lin Yuan immediately stopped the carriage, shielded Zhuoma behind him, and got off the carriage.

The ground beneath my feet was no longer the stone path and black mud of the Yin Road, but a thick layer of dry, blackened wood chips and bone fragments, which crunched underfoot, each step feeling like stepping on piles of corpses.

The ancient trees on both sides had twisted and grotesque branches, their bare branches pointing like ghostly claws towards the black mist-shrouded sky. A layer of dark brown stains had condensed on the bark, exuding a decaying, cold aura of death.

There are no living creatures here, no vitality, only boundless desolation and coldness.

Zhuoma said in a heavy voice, "Lin Yuan, be careful... I feel like there are many eyes watching us."

Lin Yuan did not answer; his nerves were stretched to the limit.

His gaze slowly swept across the woods, and his pupils suddenly contracted the moment he saw the scene before him.

Within the black mist, countless figures stood stiffly among the trees, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Those were not living things, not monsters, but standing corpses.

They stood stiffly, their feet firmly planted on the ground, their bodies as rigid as dead wood, their heads drooping, their black hair obscuring their faces, motionless, as if they had been dead for a thousand years.

What's even more chilling is that these corpses are not simply humanoid, but rather take on the forms of all sorts of bizarre creatures!

There was a human-shaped, withered corpse with shriveled, blackened flesh and bones piercing through the skin.

There was a grotesque corpse that was half human and half beast, with exposed fangs, curved claws, and its body covered in wounds;

There was the grotesque remains of a snake, its tail stiff and coiled on the ground, its upper body withered and shrunken;

There were also some bizarre and grotesque corpses with twisted shapes that were impossible to identify, which were extremely terrifying.

Hundreds and thousands of corpse puppets stood densely packed in the forest, scattered in a staggered pattern, stretching from the forest entrance all the way into the depths of the black mist, like a desolate forest of corpses.

They stood there with their heads bowed, silent and still, like sleeping death gods. Just looking at them sent chills down your spine and filled you with endless coldness.

This is no forest; it's clearly a huge open-air mortuary.

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes, his unease growing stronger.

Droma had never heard of this place before, and now that she was seeing it with her own eyes, she was shocked by what she saw.

"Follow me, don't leave my side for even a moment," Lin Yuan whispered, taking a steady step forward.

They had to cross this forest, which was the only path to the Temple of the Gods.

But just as Lin Yuan stepped past the third corpse puppet, a sudden change occurred!

Click—snap—

The first stiff, grating sound of bones grinding together suddenly rang out in the deathly silent forest.

Immediately afterwards, a second, a third... hundreds and thousands of sounds of joints twisting erupted simultaneously, like thousands of dead trees being forcibly snapped, so piercing that it hurt one's eardrums.

Lin Yuan suddenly stopped, pressed Zhuoma behind him, and his eyes were sharp as knives.

The humanoid corpse in front of him slowly raised its head, which had been hanging down.

A head of dry, black hair fell down, revealing a pair of eyes that were completely bloodshot with no whites!

Those eyes were devoid of any light, filled only with pure violence and bloodlust, fixed intently on Lin Yuan and his companion, radiating a ferocious light that seemed ready to devour them.

"roar--!!"

A hoarse, murky, inhuman roar was squeezed out of the withered corpse's throat.

The next second, the entire Yin Kui Forest was in complete chaos!

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Countless stiff, standing corpse puppets raised their heads simultaneously, and thousands of scarlet eyes lit up in the black mist, like a blood-red starry sea, extremely terrifying.

The sound of bones twisting was continuous, the stiff body slowly turned, and the withered claws, sharp fangs, and twisted limbs were all aimed at Lin Yuan and Zhuoma.

They woke up.

These slumbering corpse puppets in the Yin Puppet Forest were completely activated by the intruder's aura!

"roar!!"

The nearest humanoid corpse puppet roared, its stiff legs slamming into the ground, bringing with them a stench of decay, as it lunged fiercely at Lin Yuan. Its speed wasn't fast, but it possessed a relentless, ruthless ferocity, its claws aimed straight for Lin Yuan's throat.

Immediately following, the serpentine corpse puppet twisted its stiff snake tail, and the half-human, half-beast corpse puppet brandished its sharp claws. Dozens of corpse puppets formed the first wave of attack, overwhelming everything in their path.

"court death!"

Lin Yuan gave a low shout and stopped holding back.

Faced with the relentless corpse puppet, he directly activated his innate ability—Golden Extreme Divine Thunder!

Om-! !

Golden lightning suddenly erupted in his palm, the dazzling golden light instantly piercing through the black mist in the forest, illuminating the deathly silent Yin Kui Forest.

Lightning-based abilities are naturally effective against all evil and grotesque creatures, and have a particularly deadly suppressive effect on inanimate objects like corpse puppets.

"go!"

Lin Yuan pushed out with his palm, and dozens of golden lightning arcs roared out, like thunderous whips, fiercely lashing at the onrushing group of corpse puppets!

Sizzle—!

The moment the lightning struck the corpse puppet, a piercing burning sound rang out.

The power of the golden divine lightning in Lin Yuan's hands was terrifying. The dozen or so corpse puppets in the front row were hit by the lightning on the spot. Their bodies were instantly charred and exploded. The dried flesh, broken bones, and shattered limbs scattered and flew everywhere, crashing heavily to the ground and turning into piles of charred fragments, never to be seen again.

With a single, successful strike, the first wave of attacks by the corpse puppet horde was instantly thwarted.

Lin Yuan, however, did not relax at all; his gaze remained solemn.

The divine thunder was effective, but this was only the beginning.

There are tens of thousands of corpse puppets in the forest. If they all rush up, even if the divine lightning is powerful, they will be overwhelmed by the sea of ​​corpses.

He was preparing to unleash divine lightning to clear the road ahead, but the next second, what happened before his eyes made Lin Yuan's face darken!

The charred remains, broken bones, and scattered limbs on the ground, shattered by divine lightning, began to slowly wriggle without any external force!

The charred flesh crawled along the ground, broken bones huddled together, and shattered limbs automatically pieced themselves back together. The parts of the corpse puppet that had been blasted into pieces were rapidly assembled together as if pulled by invisible threads!

In just three breaths!

The dozens of corpse puppets that had just been shattered by divine lightning actually stood up again completely unharmed!

The charred marks disappeared, the stiff body returned to normal, and the scarlet eyes were still bloodthirsty. With a roar, it pounced on Lin Yuan again!

They've come back to life!

Lin Yuan's pupils contracted sharply, and his heart sank!

How is that possible?!

The Golden Extreme Divine Thunder is the ultimate Yang divine thunder, specifically designed to subdue evil and treacherous creatures. Being struck by this divine thunder will only result in the complete annihilation of body and soul, with absolutely no possibility of resurrection!

But these corpse puppets in the Yin Puppet Forest, even after being blasted, burned, and blown into pieces, can automatically reassemble themselves and come back to life!

"Damn it, this is a real mess!" Lin Yuan cursed.

He refused to believe it, and the lightning in his palm surged again, condensing into an even thicker golden lightning pillar, which slammed into the corpse puppet that was rushing back!

Boom—!!

The lightning bolt blasted the corpse puppet into countless fragments, leaving not a single intact piece of its body.

But just two breaths later, the fragments began to writhe, piece together, and coalesce again. The corpse puppet was resurrected intact, its crimson eyes filled with an even more frenzied killing intent...
