Corpse Recovery Diver

However, her hair was disheveled, her face ashen, her eyes bulging, and black sludge kept flowing from her mouth, which truly squandered her once regal elegance.

Li Zhiyuan thought she should be a noblewoman buried in a local tomb, dug up by the Old Transgender to be used as bait.

To be honest, just from her appearance, she really resembled the Old Transgender from the legends quite a bit.

Tan Wenbin did not use the Ghost Control Skill. This move expends one's lifespan, so he'd follow Brother Xiao Yuan's orders with him present.

"Roar!"

The noblewoman clawed and raged, venting her inner fury.

Once resplendent in life, she ought to have been peacefully buried underground, yet she was forcibly excavated, refined into a corpse warrior, enduring such torment would infuriate anyone.

She leaned forward, her feet unmoving, yet she glided quickly towards Tan Wenbin.

Tan Wenbin crouched down, and Yin Meng released a multicolored toxic mist.

In this mist, the noblewoman lost her sense of direction, starting to bellow continuously.

Yin Meng took the chance to grab Tan Wenbin by the collar, pulling back with force, while Tan Wenbin pushed off the ground with his legs; the two coordinated well to quickly retreat from the battle.

There was already a set routine for how to fight in the team; they were not frontline fighters.

Simultaneously, Run Sheng and Lin Shuyou descended from above, surrounding the noblewoman front and back.

However, Yin Meng's toxic mist did not discern between friend or foe.

So they dared not charge into the mist to fight the opponent.

Soon, the mist dispersed, and the noblewoman's body was covered in dense blisters.

This made her, already quite hideous, even uglier.

Tan Wenbin was surprised, "Does the Mist's toxic mist have such an effect now?"

Yin Meng: "Besides the usual ingredients, I randomly add some other toxins each time."

Tan Wenbin licked his lips, "Meng Meng, take a brother's advice, never take on disciples in the future."

Run Sheng, holding the Yellow River Shovel, and Lin Shuyou, wielding the trident, attacked the noblewoman.

The noblewoman's movements were nimble, her strikes rapid, but she was merely a formidable melee corpse warrior.

Once Tan Wenbin used talisman paper to disperse her black mist form, she turned into a pure beast.

This was the type of opponent Run Sheng and Lin Shuyou preferred, no fancy tricks, just pure fighting!

Nonetheless, the battle remained grueling.

Because Li Zhiyuan had instructed them to be cautious this time and avoid getting too hurt.

The real battle was at the lakebed, where the main target lay.

With a mindset to conserve their strength, they fought strategically, with Run Sheng and Lin Shuyou tactically engaging in a war of attrition.

This was originally the official's weakness, but after Li Zhiyuan's innovative modifications, the official could now also endure prolonged battle.

The noblewoman, entwined and suppressed by the two, couldn't hit back or escape and continuously roared in frustration.

Li Zhiyuan approached the battle.

Xue Liangliang wanted to warn "Danger," but he immediately realized he had no right to say that, so he just clutched two steel bars, following Li Zhiyuan like Qin Qiong with twin copper hammers.

Li Zhiyuan planted a Small Array Flag at the Array Eye and clapped his hands.

Run Sheng and Lin Shuyou understood and increased the pressure together, gradually pushing the noblewoman into the Array.

Once she entered, Li Zhiyuan activated the Array.

The noblewoman's speed and reactions slowed down instantly.

Taking this opportunity, the Yellow River Shovel and trident started to strike her relentlessly.

In no time, gold and silver treasures flew everywhere.

Tan Wenbin felt a twinge of desire, reflexively whistled to hide his earlier greed.

Turning his head, he saw Yin Meng clenching her fists, breathing rapidly.

Since she became fond of shopping, her financial needs spiked.

Tan Wenbin quietly reminded, "No rush. Once the fight's over, we'll collect the spoils."

Yin Meng looked at the boy controlling the Array.

Tan Wenbin whispered again, "Half is donated to welfare, half to the pedestrian street's clothing store owner for rent."

Yin Meng nodded.

"Aaaah!"

The noblewoman's shrill scream echoed through the ravine.

Since being forcibly dug from the cave till now, she's felt suppressed.

There's no helping it; history remembers Dragon Kings who fought solo, with only their fists, taming entire rivers.

Uncle Qin probably aimed for that path back then.

But Li Zhiyuan followed a teamwork route, emphasizing collaboration. If it still meant life-and-death battles each time, leaving everyone battered and bruised, what kind of team path would that be?

In truth, few corpse warriors met a quick end at the boy's hands; most departed with indignity.

But Li Zhiyuan couldn't help acknowledging how resilient this noblewoman was; surely she was somebody in life.

The boy hesitated—should he take another step to speed things up?

Hmm...perhaps there's no need. Prolonging the fight adds realism, reassuring the Old Transgender.

"Cough!"

Li Zhiyuan coughed softly.

Tan Wenbin got the message instantly, shouting, "Old Transgender, surrender to justice, the Heavenly Dao shines bright, there's no place for your kind of evil here!"

The call from the prow signaled everyone about what to do.

Yin Meng shouted, "Old Transgender, stop struggling; we represent the Righteous Path and will exterminate you!"
