The infant's eyes were clear and innocent, staring at the army of Yin corpses with watery eyes, its small mouth opening to cry, "Wah."

"Wah wah..."

The tender and bright cry echoed in the valley, echoed in the tunnel. Xiao Yuan and the others, who were running into the depths of the tunnel, inevitably heard the infant's cry.

The next second, their lower abdomens bulged slightly, and within seconds, fetal movements were felt, accompanied by the shrill cries of infants.

"...Yuanshi Tianzun, couldn't you wait a while?" Xiahou Aotian leaned against the tunnel wall, cursing as he stamped his foot.

How could he allow the protagonist to get pregnant in public? Did he have no shame?

As soon as he finished cursing, he leaned against the wall, cradling his growing belly, and moaned in pain.

Xiao Yuan, with one hand on the wall and the other on her abdomen, twitched slightly at the corner of her mouth.

She never thought that one day she would experience pregnancy in this way, and the instigator was Yuanshi Tianzun.

Guan Ya had been carrying Sun Miaomiao as they fled. Sun Miaomiao had suffered a fatal injury, and self-healing would take some time, leaving her unable to move.

But as soon as the crying came, she was overwhelmed. Clutching her spherical belly, she leaned against the stone wall, her pretty face pale with pain, her brows furrowed.

"I, I, I'm pregnant? Pervert, Yuanshi Tianzun is a big pervert..." Asano Ryo leaned on his sword, looking down at his abdomen, looking like he was about to cry.

She was enduring pregnancy pains that she shouldn't have to bear at her age.

Compared to the women, Tianxia Guihuo and Zhao Chenghuang, who were experiencing pregnancy for the first time, were mentally devastated, their straight male worldviews strongly impacted.

The two of them had pale faces, looking like they wanted to curse, but the baby in their bellies was too noisy, and they just wanted to rest against the wall.

Only Hongjige stubbornly staggered along the wall, and seeing that his teammates hadn't followed, he turned his head and shouted:

"Don't stop, keep moving! The baby in your belly will steal your spiritual power and skills. If you don't want to lose levels, hurry up and follow me! Get away from the crying and you'll be fine!"

At this time, the team members' bellies were already close to being six months along, and the small hands of the baby protruded from the surface of the belly. The fetus in the womb seemed to want to tear the belly and crawl out.

Spiritual power and physical strength began to drain, and even the skills of the Transcendent stage were stripped from their genes and transferred to the fetus.

Everyone felt the changes in themselves, their hearts sank, and enduring the severe pain of their internal organs turning upside down, they staggered forward, leaning against the wall.

After walking a few steps, Guan Ya suddenly remembered that Sun Miaomiao was still lying in place, and hurriedly stopped, calling out with pale lips, "Miaomiao..."

Even unconscious, Sun Miaomiao had not escaped the fate of pregnancy.

"You go first, I'll save her," came the voice of the Princess, steady as an old dog.

Guan Ya looked at Yin Yao Princess, gasped a few times, and urged, "Quick, go!"

Yin Yao Princess sprinted back, carrying the heavily pregnant Sun Miaomiao, like an agile female leopard, chasing the others, surpassing them, and disappearing into the depths of the tunnel.

The team members walked quickly, leaning against the wall for a long time, and the baby's cries gradually fell behind them, eventually becoming inaudible.

The fetus in the womb first became quiet, then lost its vitality, and the bulging belly slowly recovered, but the pain of torn abdominal muscles still accompanied them.

This pain was so wonderful in everyone's eyes... The fetus was gone, that's good.

"Not good!" Yin Yao Princess raised her small loudspeaker and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, everyone almost instinctively clutched their abdomens, preparing to run away at any time, like startled birds.

Hongjige turned his head and looked around, seeing that there was no crisis and no baby crying, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then angrily said, "What are you making a fuss about!"

"I'm not pregnant!" said Yin Yao Princess.

"Isn't it a good thing not to be pregnant?" Hongjige spat.

"Yin corpses can't get pregnant, so how is Yuanshi Tianzun going to deal with the enemy?" Yin Yao Princess snatched the Han Eight Directions Ancient Sword from Guan Ya's hand, raised her foot and walked away, "I'm going back to help him."

Zhao Chenghuang and the others' expressions changed slightly. Indeed, if Yin corpses couldn't get pregnant, how would Yuanshi Tianzun deal with hundreds of Yin corpses?

"Let her go," Guan Ya said, sitting cross-legged on the ground, her tone calm, "Yuanshi knows the function of the Holy Infant best. Since he let us go, he naturally has the confidence to deal with the Yin corpses. There's no need to worry."

No one knew Yuanshi Tianzun better than she did. He was the man she knew inside and out.

Not far away, Yin Yao Princess suddenly stopped, turned her head to look at the others, and held the small loudspeaker, "I have a question to ask you."

Everyone looked over.

The Princess said, "Guan Ya, Sun Miaomiao, Tianxia Guihuo..."

She read out everyone's names one by one, and then asked, "What's it like to have your belly gotten big by Yuanshi Tianzun?"

Everyone looked at her in silence, with expressions that said they wanted to hit her.

Yin Yao Princess patted her waist bag with regret, turned her head and slipped away.

What a pity, she didn't get to keep this handle.

The violent and bloodthirsty Yin corpses charged over ferociously. Zhang Yuanqing stood at the entrance of the tunnel, and with Yi Chuanmei's protection, methodically took out the Zephyr Gauntlets and put them on, grabbed the Mountain God Scepter and held it in his left hand.

Finally, he took out a square iron tea caddy from the gang's warehouse.

The tea caddy was filled with black powdery spores.

Zhang Yuanqing tossed the tea caddy high into the air, activated the Zephyr Gauntlets' skill, and controlled the airflow, sending the spores flying towards the oncoming army of Yin corpses.

Then, he raised the Mountain God Scepter high and slammed it into the ground.

"Thud!"

The emerald gemstone at the top of the scepter emitted a brilliant but not blinding green light.

A slight cracking sound came from the air, and clumps of black plants grew rapidly, with tentacle-like twisted vines, resembling octopuses, or tumbling tumbleweeds.

These plants automatically captured the Yin corpses, and the tentacle-like vines bit tightly into their cold bodies, then greedily extracted the Taiyin power.

This plant was called the Ghost Claw Grass, a rare plant even in Night Wanderer exclusive dungeons. They required extremely harsh environmental conditions, having to grow in the Yin-rich mass graves.

They couldn't grow in the soil, but had to take root on corpses, using rotting flesh as nutrients. If the corpse was exhausted, the Ghost Claw Grass would produce seeds, entering a long dormancy, waiting for an opportunity.

The seeds had a tenacious vitality, capable of dormancy for decades, even hundreds of years.

Due to their characteristics of absorbing rotting flesh and Taiyin power, the Taiyi Sect spent huge amounts of manpower and time to cultivate a large number of Ghost Claw Grass, specifically to break through fierce lands with strong Yin energy, such as mass graves.

Because of the Ghost Claw Grass's characteristic of restraining Yin corpses, Zhang Yuanqing asked Fu Qingyang for some... The boss was the boss, never refusing his requests.

Entangled by the Ghost Claw Grass, the Yin corpses' movements immediately became slow, and their Yin energy gradually dissipated. And lacking intelligence, they didn't even know to clear the Ghost Claw Grass from their bodies.

Seeing this, the black-robed Wraith immediately let out a high-pitched scream, as if conveying some kind of order.

The muddled Yin corpses finally "realized" what was endangering them, and lowered their heads to clear the Ghost Claw Grass entangled on their bodies.

The Ghost Claw Grass used rotting flesh as soil, and corpses would not resist, because they had not evolved the ability to fight. Almost without any power to resist, they were "uprooted" and torn to shreds.

Then they continued to pounce towards Zhang Yuanqing at the entrance of the tunnel.

"Wah wah."

The infant's cries continued.

The Ghost Claw Grass that had been torn to pieces suddenly came alive. The fragments grew rapidly, like fissioning single-celled organisms... There were even more Ghost Claw Grass.

The infant's cries had given them the ability to reproduce.

In addition, black tentacles drilled out of the mouths and noses of hundreds of Yin corpses, twisting and wriggling, their abdomens bulging high, like pregnant women carrying sextuplets.

But what they were carrying in their bellies was not a fetus, but clumps of Ghost Claw Grass.

A small portion of those Ghost Claw Grass spores entered the body through the Yin corpses' mouths and noses. The amount was small, but in the Holy Infant's cries, they rapidly multiplied, constantly multiplying.

Finally, they erupted at this moment.

Clearing the Ghost Claw Grass from their bodies was simple. Clearing the Ghost Claw Grass from their bellies was something the Yin corpses couldn't do.

Zhang Yuanqing's initial plan was to use the Holy Infant's "reproductive" ability to reproduce an infinite amount of Ghost Claw Grass from a limited number of spores, and then, through the characteristics of the Mountain God Scepter, activate the spores' growth and mutate them, giving them a stronger attack power.

Seeing that the effect had been achieved, he took out the Little Red Riding Hood and shook it.

Nine Yin corpses, led by Greed General, fell out of the hat.

Zhang Yuanqing waved his hand, "Disable them."

As soon as he finished speaking, a starlight rose from the army of Yin corpses. Yin Yao Princess appeared from the starlight, swinging her sword in a horizontal sweep.

With a series of "poof" sounds, several heads flew into the air, and the headless Yin corpses crashed to the ground.

Greed General led the Army of the Dead, bravely charging into the enemy ranks. The Yin corpse army with their big bellies had no power to resist, and rotten heads flew up one by one.

Zhang Yuanqing looked at the black-robed Wraith floating in the air, raised his hand and pressed his forehead, "It's time to deal with you."

Deep blue light burst from his fingertips, quickly spreading across his entire face, with black, white, and red colors outlining his mouth and eyes, depicting a rebellious, blue-faced countenance, increasing endurance by 50%, and granting immunity to three mental attacks.

Zhang Yuanqing controlled the wind, leading Yi Chuanmei soaring into the sky, and掠向the black-robed Wraith.

Deep whirlpools appeared in the black-robed Wraith's eye sockets, pulling the two of them into a dream.

"A trivial skill!" Yi Chuanmei raised her hand and, imitating her master's habit, snapped her fingers.

The surrounding space was immediately covered with cracks, shattering like glass.

The dream dissolved.

The black-robed Wraith unhesitatingly raised its head and screamed, unleashing a mental attack!

The blue light on Zhang Yuanqing's face brightened, granting him immunity to this attack. The power of the Sun God flowed into his palm, condensing into a golden, thin long sword.

He slashed down with all his might... The black-robed Wraith's body was instantly split in two, and green smoke hissed out.

A level six Yin object that had turned into a Wraith and had no items was simply no match for him, a Star Official.

Zhang Yuanqing's eye sockets surged with a black, viscous power. He opened his mouth and inhaled, sucking the two fragments of soul into his stomach.

Soul Devour!

There were only mechanisms and puppets everywhere in the Mechanism City. It wasn't easy to encounter a "creature" with intelligence. Perhaps he could glean the truth about the demise of the Mechanism City from the Wraith's memory.

In his sea of consciousness, the Wraith disintegrated into a chaotic, evil torrent filled with negative emotions, washing over Zhang Yuanqing's spiritual body.

He endured a mental split-like pain and chaos, which was immediately suppressed by his will.

Fragments of memory flashed by, and Zhang Yuanqing read the black-robed Wraith's identity information. He was a Dream Weaver who had been active during the Song Dynasty. At that time, the Jin Dynasty was powerful in the north, marching south and capturing Bianjing, the capital of the Song Dynasty, and taking the two emperors prisoner.

This Dream Weaver, seeking wealth and glory, swore allegiance to the Jin Dynasty and marched south with the Jin cavalry to destroy the Song Dynasty. However, he encountered resistance from patriotic generals such as Yue Pengju, and the southward progress was hindered.

The Jin army's high command received a secret report that the Mo Sect in the southwest had recently obtained an ancient treasure that could be used to create a world-destroying mechanism weapon.

This could solve the Jin Dynasty's predicament.

So the Jin Dynasty's high command sent envoys to the Mo Sect to "borrow" the treasure, promising that after unifying the world, they would make the Mo Sect the state religion and promote the art of mechanisms.

However, the Mo Sect was ignorant of current affairs and beheaded the Jin Dynasty's envoys.

The Jin court was furious and immediately mobilized its able men, extraordinary people, and military experts, sending out the elite to destroy the Mo Sect.

The leader of the team was an ancient War God, also a major figure in the Jin army.

This Dream Weaver followed the leader all the way to this place, dying of exhaustion. He was bound by the mechanisms here and became a spirit servant guarding the valley.

At this point, Zhang Yuanqing had completely figured out the Mo Sect Mechanism City's plot line.

Subtle but chaotic footsteps came from the tunnel.

The team members, who had regained their strength, returned. They looked in shock at the chaotic scene of corpses all over the ground. Although they knew that Yuanshi Tianzun, left alone to deal with the enemy, would definitely have confidence,

seeing this scene still made them feel unspeakable shock in their hearts.

In their minds, the powerhouse who could single-handedly take on the valley should be a powerhouse at the level of the official Four Young Masters, one of the strongest people below the Controller.

Now Yuanshi Tianzun had also done it.

Unknowingly, he was already standing at the peak of the Saint realm.

"Zhao Chenghuang, Sun Miaomiao, I've left you each a level 5 Yin corpse. When we get out of the dungeon, your experience points should be enough to control Yin corpses of this level," Zhang Yuanqing pointed to the heavily pregnant Yin corpses that were being trampled underfoot by Greed General and the Hundred-Man Slayer.

Sun Miaomiao and Zhao Chenghuang's eyes lit up.

In the Taiyi Sect, a level five Yin corpse would require B-grade merit points to exchange for.

Although Sun Miaomiao didn't play with corpses, she could sell them to her fellow disciples.

"There are so many good things in the S-class dungeon," Xiahou Aotian said with emotion, and then complained, "Why didn't you leave a few more? Give me one to sell for money."

I still have tens of millions in debt... He was too embarrassed to say this.

Guan Ya asked, "Did you try Soul Devouring?"

"I've already figured out the cause and effect of the demise of the Mechanism City." He immediately told his teammates the information he had obtained from Soul Devouring in detail.

"I see!" Everyone realized, but they weren't surprised. This was within their expectations.

Tianxia Guihuo frowned, and suddenly shook his head, "It doesn't seem right. The main quest is to find out the reason for the demise of the Mo Sect. Logically speaking, we've already completed the main quest, but the dungeon hasn't given us a notification."
