Zhang Yuanqing returned to the main hall, bathed in candlelight, calming the pain of his old ailment, and giving himself a purification.

According to the timeline, the vengeful spirit would缠上 him in a minute or two. It was definitely not suitable to enter the East Courtyard and face the zombie at this time.

After resting for four or five minutes, his physical condition worsened. Headache was accompanied by slight dizziness. He knew that the corpse poison was gradually eroding his body, showing initial symptoms.

The candlelight in the main hall seemed unable to purify the toxins in his body.

"Can't delay any longer..."

He had to take advantage of the half-hour time limit of the red舞鞋 to finish the dungeon quickly.

Zhang Yuanqing left the main hall, followed the pebble path, shuttled through the weeds, and arrived at the quadrangle.

Standing in the courtyard with the荒草起伏, he opened the item bar and summoned the red舞鞋.

Two dark red glows靈動游走 in the night, turning into a pair of brand new dance shoes.

"Choose the second form!"

Zhang Yuanqing默念 silently.

The red舞鞋 collapsed again into dark red glows,掠出 two arcs, and wrapped around his feet.

In an instant, the sneakers on his feet turned into a pair of large red dance shoes.

This, isn't this just cross-dressing in disguise? Fortunately, they are red dance shoes, not high heels... Zhang Yuanqing looked at his feet, feeling a little uncomfortable and weird.

He forced himself not to care about this detail, took out the 镇尸符, held it in his hand, and walked through the arched door into the East Courtyard again in the "沙沙" sound of the banyan tree.

In the East Courtyard, the 荒草起伏, the bright moonlight洒下, and two large houses stood quietly. Everything was so quiet.

He carefully looked around and did not see any trace of the zombie. He cautiously crossed the courtyard and leaned towards the large house divided into four rooms.

The wooden door of the room displaying the coffins had been knocked open. He didn't need to enter the room. He looked into the room from afar across the threshold.

Moonlight shone in from the broken tiles. The corpse, the coffin, the掀飞的 coffin lid, and the brass杵 were quietly located in place, not moved at all.

There was no sign of the zombie in the room.

"Could it have躺回 the coffin?"

From his angle, he couldn't see the inside of the coffin.

Just as he hesitated, he suddenly noticed that the moonlight seemed to dim, and a shadow fell from the sky, enveloping him.

Then, the night wind brought a strong stench of corpses and a low "嗬嗬" roar.

It, it's hiding in the tree? Zhang Yuanqing was terrified. His heart骤然收缩 and he instinctively tried to dodge.

In the next moment, the red舞鞋 on his feet lit up with a dark red glow. Zhang Yuanqing suddenly lost his footing and slid out before he could react, plowing a trail in the荒草间.

嘭!

The zombie in the tattered clothes扑了个空.

避,避开了... Zhang Yuanqing scrambled to his feet, overjoyed, and his heart returned to his stomach.

The red舞鞋 was indeed magical, and its dodging ability was stronger than he expected. With his own reaction, it was impossible to avoid the zombie's pounce just now.

Zhang Yuanqing's confidence increased greatly.

"嗬嗬..."

The zombie with hair like withered grass let out a eardrum-shaking roar. Its protruding eyeballs became more fierce. It bounced its knees and pounced at its prey again.

The speed was as fast as a speeding car.

The fishy wind was blowing. The terrifying阴物 was already in front of him. Zhang Yuanqing's feet involuntarily twisted, like a ballet dance spinning, smoothly cutting out a semicircle, avoiding the sharp nails while cutting to the zombie's back.

Then, he "naturally" made a split, his body suddenly collapsed, and the wind whistled over his head as his arms swept across.

扯,扯到蛋了... Zhang Yuanqing's face was twisted. He wanted to clamp his legs and scream, but the red舞鞋 had already manipulated his legs to bounce up.

He leaped high and kicked the zombie's chest hard with both feet.

嘭!

In the muffled sound, the zombie's tattered clothes splashed with fine dust.

It let out an angry and unwilling roar and was kicked over on its back by this huge force.

Chance! Seeing this scene, Zhang Yuanqing ignored the tearing pain in his groin, strode forward, and slammed the 镇尸符 he was holding in his hand against the highly decayed face in front of him that emitted a stench.

He slapped it on its forehead.

啪!

The violent and bloodthirsty zombie was like being hit by a freezing spell, and suddenly stiffened.

All movement disappeared, returning to silence.

The zombie lay stiffly in the weeds, the scarlet in its ferocious eyeballs slowly dimming.

It lost its "vitality".

Looking at the zombie that had turned into a clay sculpture and could not逞威, Zhang Yuanqing panted violently, and fatigue and joy welled up in his heart.

He survived!

"Without the help of the red舞鞋, it would be difficult to solve the zombie alone. And the zombie is just one of the horrors. It is worthy of being an S-level The Way of the Extraordinary. It's too difficult."

"But the construction team has a lot of people. In theory, it shouldn't be a problem to solve the zombie. How could a group of big men be so不堪..."

Zhang Yuanqing suddenly sighed. He knew the reason.

The 镇尸符 was found in the pocket of the corpse under the window. The predecessor obtained this item, but he did not tell his companions, but藏了起来.

Human hearts are more complicated and scarier than ghosts.

Now that the zombie was solved, he should go to the well to find the shameless female ghost.

But before that, there was something that Zhang Yuanqing cared about very much.

He left the zombie and walked to the room displaying the coffins. He crossed the threshold扶着 the door frame. In the dark room, the moonlight was like a beam.

He stopped in front of the dry corpse and bent down to pick up the copper锥.

It was obviously a copper object, but it didn't feel cold when held in the hand, but rather温润如玉.

Immediately, a message appeared in his vision.

[Name: 伏魔杵]

[Type: Weapon]

[Function: Purification, Spirit Suppression, Demon Breaking]

[Introduction: A weapon containing the power of the sun god, it is the nemesis of all阴物. By sacrificing精血 to this杵, you will get the power of the sun god. ]

[Note: Powerful? It's bought with your life.]

It was indeed an item. Looking at the function introduction, it seemed to be stronger than the candle in the main hall. The predecessor of the construction team should have wanted to use it to kill the zombie, but failed. Alas, they had already lost too many people before dealing with the zombie... Zhang Yuanqing was glad that he made the right judgment.

He cleverly used the red舞鞋 to solve the problem.

Of course, the predecessors of the construction team had no choice. It was impossible for them to subdue this rule-based item, and most of them died from the trampling of the red舞鞋.

"With this item that specializes in overcoming阴物, coupled with the red舞鞋, my chances of clearing the trial mission will be greatly increased."

Holding the 伏魔杵 in his hand, he felt a strong confidence in his heart. He left the room and returned to the courtyard before the five minutes were up.

This time, he went straight to the ancient well for the final investigation.

The wellhead was幽深 dark, and a moist, decaying smell of plants and trees翻涌而上.

Go down and take a look... Zhang Yuanqing clenched the 伏魔杵, posing defensively. He raised one foot and stepped on the well, and then he walked down like this, walking on the well wall as if walking on flat ground.

If it had been before, he would definitely not dare to go down to explore. Not to mention whether there was danger at the bottom of the well, jumping to the bottom of the well without ropes or helpers would mean seeking his own death.

Soon, he smoothly arrived at the not-so-deep bottom of the well, where the moonlight was already very weak.

The water in the well had long been枯竭, and black silt was deposited at the bottom, and clumps of weeds grew at the edges, and the well walls were covered with deep cyan moss.

"There is no ghost in the well..."

Zhang Yuanqing frowned, thinking that something was wrong. He clearly saw a faceless female ghost probing out of the well.

He repeatedly checked the bottom of the well. Because the wearing time of the red舞鞋 was limited, he finally had no choice but to step on the steep well wall, return to the ground, and run back to the eaves of the main hall.

Only then could he safely remove the red舞鞋.

........

In the main hall, bathed in the dim yellow candlelight, Zhang Yuanqing leaned against the offering table, looking dejected. The erosion of the corpse poison on his body deepened. After dizziness, symptoms such as difficulty breathing and chest pain appeared.

Time was running out.

"I have explored the two backyards and successfully subdued the zombie. The task is not over yet, which means there is still something I haven't explored..."

Every room in the backyard had been explored, and even the bottom of the well had been explored. It was impossible for there to be any flaws.

So, where is it?

When all possibilities are eliminated, what remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth... He muttered in his heart and slowly supported his body.

The place that has not been "explored" is this place, the main hall in front of him.

Zhang Yuanqing's eyes slowly swept across the main hall and finally rested on the clay statue of the Third Mountain Goddess. A detail on the clay statue had made him very concerned when he first entered the main hall.

The right hand of the clay statue was empty, but it was in a grasping position, indicating that it was originally holding something.

He didn't know what she was originally holding in her hand before, but he knew now.

It was the 伏魔杵.

With the thought that it wouldn't hurt to try, Zhang Yuanqing stepped forward and inserted the golden 伏魔杵 into the palm of the clay statue, then jumped off the base and took a few steps back.

Almost the moment he retreated, the surface of the base "咔嚓" cracked, and the cracks弹起 a dense cloud of dust. Then the entire base collapsed, revealing a dark cave.
