Chapter 54: The old ape who steals corpse-eating energy

“That’s that?”

Looking at the strange figure in the mist.

Everyone who was still ready to make a move suddenly felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave. How could they think of stealing gold and stealing treasures?

My breathing slowed down subconsciously.

Afraid of disturbing that thing.

Partridge Whistle frowned and put his backhand on his waist.

Staring closely at every move of the mysterious shadow.

But he didn’t have Chen Yulou’s night eyes, so he could only see a vague shadow.

Behind him, the old foreigner had already taken off his strong bow, picked up an iron arrow, and clasped the bowstring with his fingers.

His eyes were slightly glazed over, as long as the white shadow moved.

He can react immediately.

But...

It seemed that he was aware of his thoughts.

Chen Yulou in front suddenly turned around and shook his head at him.

Seeing this, the old foreigner was immediately confused and obviously didn't understand what he meant.

"Don't scare it."

"Oh..."

Hearing this, the old foreigner responded in a muffled voice.

Although he was still full of suspicion, he still loosened the tight bowstring.

Others also followed suit, lowering the muzzle of their guns so that they would not fire and injure anyone in a narrow space.

The partridge whistle has been silent.

Seeing this situation, a trace of thoughtfulness flashed in his eyes.

“Here it comes!”

While I was still thinking, a low reminder sounded in my ears.

His heart moved.

Immediately put away my thoughts and looked intently.

The white shadow seemed to confirm something. It stepped on the wooden beam and slid to the ground with great agility.

Walking through the mist.

It seems chaotic, but if you look closely, you will find that it is obviously directed towards the purple gold coffin.

But that ghost was extremely cautious.

It’s been a big circle.

After confirming again and again.

Then finally emerged from the flowing mist.

"Wait..."

Partridge Whistle's expression changed.

The expression was full of disbelief.

The white figure that emerged from the cave turned out to be an old ape that was all white and about half a man tall.

Originally, it looked weird when walking.

He thought it was a walking corpse.

Or the Gu masters and pharmacists in the nearby Miao village.

Now looking at the face with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, he suddenly reacted.

Some time ago, my brothers and sisters were crossing the Mengdong River.

I once heard a traveling merchant talk about White Ape Cave.

However, I don’t know whether it was due to the gloomy atmosphere in the Hades Palace or because I had just surrounded and killed a walking corpse. For a moment, I didn’t even think about the ape at all.

It's not just him.

Everyone around me in the night.

They all looked like they had seen a ghost.

Who the hell would have imagined that a white ape could emerge from this palace of the underworld.

Especially when I see its eyes moving around.

There was a cunning and cunning smell all over his body.

He has such a bad temper that he wants to take out his gun and kill it on the spot.

But I was reminded because of the shopkeeper.

This group of people did not dare to mess around.

The white ape seems to have been here many times, passing through the bright objects all over the ground with ease.

But soon.

Stopped again.

Seeing this, a group of people in the tunnel thought that a flaw had been exposed.

Immediately my mind became tense.

Fortunately, the white ape did not look back. Instead, he stared at the lacquer coffin in the distance that was wrapped in a beaded jade box.

In a pair of sinister eyes, there was both greed and a bit of uncontrollable fear.

I hesitated for a while.

The white ape then walked out from behind the taller silver jade vase in front of him.

Cautiously approached the jade box, opened a corner and plunged in.

The purple gold coffin is right in front of you.

The greed in the white ape's eyes still suppressed the fear.

Close to the head of the coffin, push hard towards the coffin lid with both hands. Seeing this scene, everyone looked even weirder.

The seal of the purple gold coffin was tightly sealed and airtight. There was a high probability that nails were driven into the coffin edge. How could it be pushed open by an old ape?

But...

Unexpectedly.

The old ape pushed hard a few times.

There was a strange clicking sound coming from the coffin.

Immediately, the coffin lid, which weighed at least several hundred kilograms, slowly slid forward, revealing a gap half a finger long.

The white ape seemed to be extremely afraid of the owner in the coffin. When he saw a small crack, he immediately stopped.

"This..."

"Ship coffin?"

"No, this is a wheel coffin!"

See this weird scene.

Everyone suddenly let out a burst of exclamation.

There are also experienced thieves who realize it immediately.

Don’t wait for them to think too much.

The white ape suddenly approached the gap between the coffin and the coffin, waiting expectantly for something.

At this moment.

It is already night outside.

A full moon shaped like a silver plate rose, and the faint moonlight penetrated through the dense forest and sprinkled into the hall of the Hades.

The people hiding in the night saw that countless caves, large and small, were drilled around the dome above their heads.

Looking from a distance.

Like dark eyes.

The white ape got into the Hades from the cave.

However, seeing that it didn't pay any attention to the obvious weapons around it, the thieves really couldn't figure out why it spent so much effort.

"Wait a minute..."

The thought just came up.

The moonlight suddenly changed direction, and six or seven light beams slowly merged into a water curtain-like light and shadow, covering the coffin.

Later.

Wisps of mist like blue smoke.

Floating from the gap.

The white ape who had been guarding outside the coffin suddenly felt like he had found a treasure. He supported the coffin wall with both hands, opened his mouth, and started to devour it with big mouthfuls.

“Gudong——”

Looking at this strange and infiltrating situation from a distance.

The thieves felt a chill coming from the soles of their feet to the sky.

The faces look uglier than the last.

On the contrary, Partridge Whistle, the frowning brow slowly opened, and there was a little more understanding in his eyes.

It is swallowing the corpse energy in the coffin!

Before going down to Pingshan Mountain, he heard from the nearby Miao villagers that there was a corpse king in the mountain.

Every midnight, he would leave the coffin where he was hiding and go to the top of the mountain to swallow the essence of the sun and the moon.

If it is a cloudy day without a moon, they will kill the passing merchants and devour their flesh and blood.

This also caused the Miao people to fear this place like a tiger.

Even the medicine farmers and hunters dare not come.

Originally, he only thought it was a rumor and didn’t pay much attention to it.

But now I saw the old ape stealing corpse-eating energy with my own eyes.

He realized that there is no smoke without fire.

And.

As a genus of apes, the fur color is generally gray and black, but the old ape in front of me has almost no trace of color on his body.

I don’t know how many years I have lived.

In other words, it is no longer considered a living creature, it can only be regarded as a 'living dead'!

The partridge whistle looked intently, and the more he looked at the white ape, the more he felt that its behavior was different from ordinary apes.

Especially those eyes, under the moonlight above their heads, turned out to be a strange gray-white color.

"I'm afraid I'm almost turning into a monster..."

Seeing this scene.

Partridge Whistle couldn't help but sigh.

Every living creature in this world is seeking immortality and immortality.

I think the white ape discovered this place accidentally.

But how did it know that the evil spirit of corpse is even worse than the poison of tobacco? Looking at its current appearance, it is obvious that it has penetrated deep into the bone marrow and is difficult to get rid of.

Either the corpse energy backfires and dissolves into a pile of blood.

Or take the path of a six-winged centipede and transform into a great demon.

“Wow——”

Partridge Whistle is still thinking secretly.

Suddenly, a strange movement sounded, and it was clearer than muffled thunder in the palace of Hades where the drop of a needle could be heard.

Not just him.

Everyone else heard it too.

They all held their breath and looked at the white ape.

However, no one expected that the old ape remained unchanged.

On the contrary, from the purple gold coffin, a dark and bloody hand suddenly appeared out of the lightning and grabbed the white ape fiercely!
