Chapter 143 Undead Body

Ye Qi walked closer and looked at the masked corpse in the black fog. He could sense that the corpse was still breathing. A hint of doubt appeared in his eyes, and he muttered to himself, "Is this... an innate undead body?"

"The corpse hasn't decayed for a thousand years, and the death energy has lasted for a thousand years. It must be the legendary innate undead body!"

After hearing Mu Qingyao's explanation, the problem that had been bothering him all the way finally became clear. After pondering for a moment, he said in a questioning tone, "No, I've been wondering all the way. I always felt that there was something wrong with this undead body. Now I understand. The Three Realms are divided into immortals, demons, and humans! The undead should belong to the underworld outside the Three Realms. After death, people also enter the sea of suffering in the underworld. But the undead body is an existence that breaks this rule. What exactly is the purpose of this existence?"

Mu Qingyao was not interested in Ye Qi's doubts, but she was very interested in this undead body. After all, maybe she could find some clues to rescue him from him. Although she also believed that Ye Qi could save her, the stakes were too high and she couldn't afford to lose!

"do not move!"

Just as Mu Qingyao stretched her fair jade hand into the black mist of death, she heard Ye Qi's exclamation from behind her. However, she did not withdraw her arm. Instead, she continued to explore inside without stopping.

Suddenly, the finger touched a sharp object, and it was withdrawn suddenly as if it had been electrocuted, but a pinhole-sized wound appeared on the finger, and a drop of black blood dripped into the coffin!

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

When the drop of black blood on Mu Qingyao's finger, which was contaminated by the death energy in her body, fell on the man in the coffin, the stone coffin suddenly shook violently.

The ancient black runes on the coffin lid also began to flash with light, as if trying their best to suppress the power that was about to awaken in the coffin. However, it seemed as if it was resisted outward by an invisible force, making it difficult to close again.

Seeing this, Ye Qi immediately jumped onto the coffin lid that was about to rise. He squatted down and placed his palms on the black coffin lid. A trace of spiritual power in his body unexpectedly came out uncontrollably, and then silently merged into the obscure rune. Even Mu Qingyao, who was very close to him, did not see the whole process.

As the coffin lid completely closed the coffin, which was already a little tilted, Ye Qi's hand tentatively left the coffin lid. Then he took a few deep breaths nervously, jumped down from it, and walked in front of Mu Qingyao.

Without even saying hello, he grabbed the arm she had just put into the coffin, then lifted it up. He carefully observed the tiny pinhole on her finger, stared at her, and asked, "What did you just put in there?"

"No...nothing!"

This was the first time Mu Qingyao saw Ye Qi lose his temper. Along the way, he had always given her the impression of being a little off-key and casual, and his words never got to the point. But just now, when the situation was critical, he suddenly became calm and decisive.

Moreover, he actually ignored the threat of the dead energy in his body and dared to grab his arm and scold him. It was really frightening!

"Since you refuse to tell the truth, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

As Ye Qi finished speaking, the long sword suddenly slashed across her arm. A deep sword mark suddenly appeared on her arm and black blood flowed out, staining the lavender sleeve black.

While the two were exchanging glances, suddenly an extremely slender insect crawled out from her arm. Just when Ye Qi wanted to reach out to grab it, the insect suddenly drilled into Mu Qingyao's body. The pain made her lose the ability to think. Her eyes were as big as copper bells. She took a deep breath and didn't exhale for a long time, and her already slender arm became tense.

Fortunately, Ye Qi was quick-witted and grabbed one section of the insect's tail just as it was about to completely penetrate Mu Qingyao's body. However, when he pulled hard, he saw that Mu Qingyao's originally cold face became ferocious, even a little scary like a demon, completely losing her usual pure and innocent demeanor!

However, Ye Qi was not the kind of person who showed sympathy to women. No matter how she struggled or how ferocious her face looked, he would pull the worm, as thin as a silver thread, out of her body alive, just like pulling out tendons and bones!

"call!"

Mu Qingyao, having come out of her trance, breathed out a sigh of relief. Seeing Ye Qi about to split the insect in half, she immediately stopped him and said, "No!"

"It seems like you really did it on purpose. I'd like to hear your reasons and excuses!"

Seeing Mu Qingyao's nervous expression, Ye Qi guessed that she might know something that he didn't know, so he turned the sword and stabbed it on the stone brick next to the insect, then stared straight into her eyes that were somewhat guilty and evasive.

"I want...I want..."

Seeing that Mu Qingyao was hesitating and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time, Ye Qi didn't have the patience to continue wasting time with her. He immediately interrupted her hesitating voice, suddenly pulled her arm, and pulled her body closer.

Even his breath could touch her eyelashes. Then, staring at her somewhat erratic eyes, he said, "Since you don't want to say it, then I'll say it for you. You want to borrow some medium from his body to become the legendary undead body. Your body has met the requirements, but unfortunately, you don't have that unique opportunity. So you set your sights on this sleeping undead body and took advantage of me not noticing to look for something on his body, or rather, this insect!"

"I just want to live... I don't want to die... What's wrong with that? Why was I the chosen one? He was clearly the one who was infected with the death energy, but he chose to force it onto me. On the one hand, he was calling me a sister, and on the other hand, he was doing things that were worse than animals. I am his biological sister! How could he do such a thing just to save his own life!"

Mu Qingyao suddenly became emotionally agitated, and even his eyeballs were covered with blood due to excessive excitement and exertion. However, the blood was not bright red, but pitch black, which looked extremely creepy, as if he was a demon crawling out of hell!

Seeing her crying with hatred, Ye Qi was at a loss for a moment. If it was really as she said, then her fate was indeed tragic.

Murdered by the person closest to her, it is conceivable that the little girl who originally regarded her brother as her greatest support suddenly found that the sky above her seemed not as white as she had imagined. At the age when she should have been the most carefree, the sky suddenly became like a bolt from the blue, pushing her into the abyss!

Just when Ye Qi was still feeling sorry for her, she suddenly hugged herself with her arms tightly, as if she was grasping a life-saving straw, afraid that a beam of light in the dark night would escape through her fingers!

"I'm not a monster..."
