Chapter 28 The corpse is talking
"This is the Coral City..."
At this moment, Xia En suddenly understood the fearful attitude of many sailors towards this place.
This sight alone is enough to disgrace, and it is not an easy job to perform dangerous salvage operations among those corals.
No wonder there are still a large number of secret treasures that have not been discovered in Coral City.
These strange corals undoubtedly form a natural protective umbrella, blocking the exploration of outsiders.
But he was surprised, and Xia En was not deterred by it.
On the contrary, a desire to explore and conquer emerged in his heart, like the urge to overcome each level in a game and pass it perfectly.
Maybe he has the adventurous gene in his body?
“The first investigation of Coral City has officially begun!”
Xia En said to himself, then swung his arms and swam down quickly.
As he got closer, the strange and strange features of the coral appeared more clearly in front of Xia En's eyes, including branch-like structures, soft tentacles floating in the sea water, and dense herpes zoster.
Coupled with the bright colors, patients with trypophobia are afraid of fainting on the spot.
Xia En endured the discomfort and looked down at the area below him.
Due to the coverage of coral, many buildings are difficult to distinguish, and it is impossible to tell the difference between the upper city and lower city.
Shane simply went looking for the church’s iconic spire structure.
Soon, in a piece of low coral, he saw a bulge that stood out from the crowd.
Xia En took a closer look and found that it was not a church, but an ancient black tower.
Based on the idea of "come all come", he planned to enter the tower to search for something.
Not long after, Xia En found the window on the upper floor of the tower.
Although the outside of the window was also covered with a layer of coral, this was not a problem for Xia En. He directly worked a miracle with his hands, tearing outwards with both hands, breaking the coral in half.
A little lavender blood spread in the sea water.
Xia En frowned slightly.
He vaguely felt that this "blood" was a little weird, but he couldn't put it into words for the moment.
Pushing open the half-opened window, Xia En swam into the tower.
The layout of this room is simple and clean, with only a bed and a cushion. The so-called "minimalism" is nothing more than this.
It doesn’t look like an ordinary person’s bedroom, but more like the residence of an ascetic monk.
Xia En looked closely and saw a male corpse sitting cross-legged on the cushion.
He was wearing monk's robes, his head was spotless, his eyes were closed, his expression was peaceful, as if he had just fallen into a deep sleep.
However, what surprised Xia En was not the identity of this man as a monk, but that his body was intact without any trace of decay!
If Xia En hadn't sensed the slightest bit of life in him, he would have even thought he was a living person.
You know, in seawater rich in microorganisms, corpses decompose faster.
But the monk in front of me can keep his body from rotting. It is really a miracle!
“Could it be said that this master has tempered his body to the point where it is indestructible?”
Xia En was just guessing.
Suddenly, the monk suddenly opened his eyes!
The peaceful expression on that face collapsed in an instant, and was replaced by an indescribable terror and despair.
He opened his mouth, and the sound that did not exist in reality penetrated directly through the sea water and sounded in Xia En's brain.
"Failed, we failed! The road is impassable!"
"His Majesty the King is crazy, His Majesty the Pope is dead, God... God is a scam! No one can save We..."
"Failed, failed, failed, failed, failed, failed, failed..."
After a series of crazy mutterings like babble, the monk's voice suddenly became rapid and high-pitched, and he screamed.
"The sea is coming! He is coming too!"
Next moment!
The monk's body also suddenly underwent strange changes.
Colorful and ugly corals quickly emerged from his eye sockets, mouth, and ear holes, growing together at an extraordinary speed.
Soon, more corals were rushing to burst his skin and expose it to the sea water. In just a moment, the lifeless corpse expanded several times, and its surface seemed to be covered with a layer of distorted coral armor.
The original appearance of the monk cannot be seen at all.
“What the hell?”
Shane's heart skipped a beat.
This is the first time he has seen such an evil and weird thing!
Before Xia En could think more, the "coral zombie" in front of him punched him menacingly.
Bang!
Xia En met him with a backhand punch.
When the two fists collided, the water flow shook violently, and even the tall tower was swaying slightly.
[The power of the ship soul -5! 】
"What a powerful force!"
Xia En felt awe-struck. After improving the firepower attribute of the Black Swan, this was the first enemy that could match him in strength.
This punch is not without damage to the coral zombie.
Part of the coral on its surface collapsed, but in the blink of an eye, more deformed coral grew.
“Immortal?”
Xia En observed for a moment and quickly rejected this conjecture.
Compared with the speed at which the coral emerged from the body in the first place, the recovery speed of the coral zombie after being injured is obviously much slower.
“It seems like it’s just a sandbag with a thicker health bar.”
Thinking of this, Xia En no longer worried, stepped hard on the ground with his legs, and quickly approached, fighting the coral zombie in close combat.
In this small room, there is almost no room to dodge.
Xia En simply did not dodge, and directly engaged in the most primitive fight with the coral zombie.
Fistes, legs, elbows, knees... every part of the body became Shane's weapon, turning into strong winds and rain to hit the coral zombie's body.
Punch to the flesh, hearty!
Although the coral zombie's strength and resilience are not bad, it has been dead for a long time and its movements are stiff and slow. Naturally, it is no match for Xia En.
After a while, the walls and floors in the room were full of cracks, and the bed was torn apart, as if it had been destroyed by two giant beasts.
Xia En pulled his fist out of the monk's chest and sighed.
"Master, I'm offended!"
"If you want to blame...just blame these corals for not knowing what to do!"
Suddenly, a few lines of information appeared in front of Xia En's eyes.
[Kill alienated coral zombies]
[Get trophies: broken coral]
[Quality: inferior]
[Type: Material]< br>
[Description: Coral is the corpse of countless dead coral polyps. New coral polyps will reproduce on the old corpses, generation after generation, in a cycle. 】
【Please step over my body and move forward! 】
"Coral polyp corpse? What a weird name..."
Xia En touched his chin and thought: "Does it mean... a corpse parasitized by polyps?"
On earth, coral polyps certainly do not have the ability to be parasitic.
But in this vast sea of extraordinary pollution, anything can happen.
Subsequently, another text appeared.
【The presence of "Secret Sea Crystal" (special) in the corpse was detected. Should it be absorbed? 】
