C288 Zodiac
"Oh my god!" The woman couldn't help but take half a step back, covering her mouth as she exclaimed, "How could this happen!"
What was hanging on the wall was a black-grey membrane. Surprisingly, it was a corpse with its eyes closed. This corpse was very 'fresh' and full of skin. It was a young man.
"Isn't this the brat that came in with us two days ago?!" At this moment, another burly man exclaimed, "I remember it clearly. This brat hit me once, and I almost beat him up."
"How did he die?" As he said that, the big man's entire body shivered. He looked around and said, "Why do I feel that the surroundings are so eerie?"
Jin Wudao and Ding Yi didn't say anything. They stared at the corpse with different expressions, both of them lost in their own thoughts.
This corpse was extremely fresh, and there was almost nothing strange about it. If it was not for his eyes closed and hanging on the walls of the cave, it would not have been seen that he was dead.
"Master, look. His face doesn't show any signs of suffering, nor does he show any signs of struggling." At this moment, Jin Wudao suddenly pointed at the corpse and said, "I'm guessing that he didn't experience any pain before he died. He didn't even know that he died."
"Zombie grass?" Ding Yi's eyes flashed when he heard Jin Wudao.
Jin Wudao nodded, and with a gloomy face, he looked at the corpse in front of him, and said: "This kind of extinct strange grass, only exists in the Northern Realm."
"If I had seen it from our place, I would not have guessed it this way." With that, Jin Wudao smiled and looked at Ding Yi.
From start to finish, Ding Yi's expression was calm, and even after hearing Jin Wudao's words, there was no change. His deep eyes flashed with confidence as he said lightly: "Not necessarily. Don't forget, everything here has evolved."
Zombie grass was a type of parasitic plant. It would invade the body of living people and grow until it broke out of the body. It was similar to the winter insects and summer grass, giving people a feeling of winter and summer grass.
However, in today's society, all kinds of scanning equipment were developed. After a human body became unwell, they would be immediately detected and killed before they could develop.
This type of zombie grass also had a beautiful name called 'Smiling Grass'.
The biggest characteristic of the zombie grass was that the host, who was parasitized by the zombie grass, would not only feel no pain during the final stage, but would also feel incomparable excitement and die silently with a smile on his face.
"Don't tell me this thing can evolve?" Jin Wudao raised his eyebrows and his expression gradually turned serious.
Zombie grass was a very strange type of herb, and if it evolved, who knew what it would look like. For a moment, even he felt a chill run down his spine.
On the contrary, the surrounding people didn't have the same feeling as Jin Wudao because they didn't know what zombie grass was.
Ding Yi took a deep breath and gave a signal with his eyes to the crowd. Jin Wudao immediately led everyone to retreat half a step, leaving Ding Yi standing alone in front of the corpse.
"We don't know if it's zombie grass, but …" The fire on the torch crackled from time to time. Ding Yi stared at the corpse in front of him and said after a while, "Forget it, let's continue walking forward."
Originally, he had planned to dissect the body on the spot. However, considering that there were two women at the scene, he thought about it and decided against it, especially with Lee Wan.
After hearing Ding Yi's words, the group of people looked at each other. Only Jin Wudao seemed to realize something and hurriedly followed.
The group walked forward once again. The cave was winding and winding. The deeper they went, the quieter it became. Only the sound of footsteps and breathing could be heard. This kind of atmosphere could easily make people anxious.
Sure enough, not long after, a burly man began to worry. He could not help but grind his teeth and say, "This damned place, how deep is it exactly?!"
"Who knows? Although this place is marked on the map, no one has ever been here before." The woman in front of him shook her head and comforted, "It should be soon, can it be that it will lead to the core of the earth?"
Just as she finished her sentence, a scream came from the front. Lee Wan quickly took a few steps back and bumped into Soong Loong.
"Here's another one!" Soong Loong pointed at the wall and said with a frown.
Hearing Soong Loong's words, Lee Wan touched her chest, rolled her eyes at Soong Loong and complained, "What are you shouting for? You scared me so much that I jumped. What's that again?"
"Let's keep walking. We're almost there." Ding Yi slightly tilted his head to take a glance, then lost his interest.
There was a dark gray protrusion on the wall, exactly the same as the corpse from before. Although these people died in a weird way, Ding Yi didn't panic. Everything would become clear when they reached the bottom of the cave.
"How do you know?" Hearing Ding Yi's words, Lee Wan was stunned for a moment before she asked doubtfully, "Have you been here before?"2
"Nope." With that, Ding Yi continued walking forward without looking back.
Seeing Ding Yi's appearance, Lee Wan gritted her teeth fiercely, but she did not say anything. When no one was paying attention, she bared her fangs and brandished her claws at Ding Yi's back.
She was, after all, the eldest miss of the Lee Family, and was always a dazzling existence wherever she went. Ding Yi actually ignored her, even hurting Lee Wan's self-esteem, and thus, she suddenly doubted her own appearance.
The group gradually became silent. Everyone's mood became heavy. Looking at the flying figure in front of them, they could not help but sigh at Ding Yi's strength in his heart, which allowed him to remain calm in such an environment.
In fact, what they didn't know was that Ding Yi could be said to be very familiar with such an environment. In the ancient times, when he followed the Nuwa Alliance, the Nine Hells Abyss Demon Harvesting Lotus and the Heavenly Mountain Cliff harvesting dantian, which was hundreds of thousands of times more terrifying than this place.
"Great God Nuwa …" Thinking of this, Ding Yi sighed in his heart.
After so many years, he had already forgotten how the Goddess of Nuwa looked like. He could only vaguely remember that she was very beautiful, prettier than anyone else in the world.
"What is this?" At this moment, the words of Soong Loong and the others pulled Ding Yi back to reality. He turned around and looked ahead. The originally dark sky was now filled with floating specks of light. They were as beautiful as fireflies.
Ding Yi frowned when he saw this dot of light. He immediately raised his head and looked forward. He could vaguely see the walls of the cave in front of him. They had reached the bottom of the cave.
"No one move. Cover your mouth and noses with your hands and don't touch those specks of light." Ding Yi thought of the corpse hanging on the wall. His eyes flashed and he quickly walked forward.
