Corpse Recovery Diver

Besides, my vitality has been sacrificed, and although I feel very weak now, brother, how long can your blood support the array?

Your body is only a few years older than mine, so you shouldn't have much blood left to sustain this consumption, right?"

Li Zhiyuan remained silent, continuing to use his blood to maintain the array, blocking the crystal's attacks.

"Brother, are you worried about those subordinates of yours? They are just subordinates, you can recruit them again if they die.

Oh, no, brother, you should be worried that if the subordinates die, they won't be able to stop those things outside. When they come in, brother, you will be in a desperate situation. Isn't it better to take a gamble now?

But unfortunately, you have failed!"

The boy accelerated his arm movements, causing the crystals to impact the array at an even faster frequency.

...

At the entrance, a dead corpse had already been beheaded by the White Crane Child using a trident, lying on the ground as it began to dissolve into pus.

Another dead corpse was also pinned down by the White Crane Child, who relentlessly attacked it with the trident, soon dealing with it as well.

The child had also sustained many injuries.

One person against two. While intercepting them, the child wanted to perform well, aiming to kill them quickly so he could go inside and assist.

He wanted to perform admirably.

With that goal, the cost was naturally higher.

"Squelch!"

Finally, the child also slaughtered the dead corpse beneath him.

He stood up, slightly shaky, suddenly noticing twelve blood-colored mirrors appearing above what were originally empty coffins.

Blood aura emanated from the mirrors and was absorbed by the empty coffins.

Immediately, twelve shadowy dead figures emerged from the coffins.

Among them were the two dead corpses he had just slain, as well as the one that had died at the construction site during the day.

They collectively let out hisses and lunged at the White Crane Child.

His vertical pupils refocused, charging at them.

Though they had no physical form, the infusion of vitality created a special state.

The White Crane Child slashed through them, tearing three apart, but the remaining nine continued their charge.

In desperation, he drew out the Evil-breaking Talisman Needle, stabbing it into his own chest.

The White Crane Child's aura rose again, a burst of sound emanated from within him. He was furious:

"Ghosts without substance dare to act wantonly before me!"

...

The mirrors reflected the past, showing the images from before Dragon King Zhao came here.

This isn't rebirth or time reversal, but a temporary completion via sacrificing vitality.

Beside the worm pond, Yin Meng was still calculating the amount of poison, drawing safety circles with poison around herself.

But at that moment, the long-dead giant Gu worm within the pond, with its concave shell, was replenished by blood aura, red light flashing in its extinguished eyes.

It crawled out of the pond, the aura of death still surrounding it, yet its presence was astonishing.

The relaxed and leisurely look on Yin Meng's face disappeared, and without hesitation, she threw a large quantity of poison bottles, whipping them all towards the giant Gu worm.

Multicolored poisonous mist continuously burst on the Gu worm, which opened its mouth, fully absorbing surrounding poisonous mist into itself. Its body twisted and slightly expanded, yet it was far from being poisoned to death, for in its life, it was the top-grade toxin bred by the Miao Border.

It lifted its head, terrifying black poisonous mist spread towards Yin Meng, and even the densely packed small Gu worms around, upon touching such a mist, instantly turned into corrosive liquid.

...

At the cave wall painting, Tan Wenbin had been using his two resentful babies to have everyone play games and tell stories together.

Though the scene was eerie, it also carried a sense of harmony.

This fragile balance could have continued, until the appearance of the blood light completed the terrifying groove cut above the wall painting.

The previously obedient resentful spirits became stronger in aura, each igniting fierce flames, no longer satisfied being guided and suppressed by the two resentful babies.

Tan Wenbin pursed his lips, uncertain of the exact events but knowing if he didn't make an immediate decision, his future involvement would cease.

No longer hesitating, Brother Xiao Yuan wasn't there, so he decided independently.

Tan Wenbin began to employ the Ghost Control Skill.

Shouting loudly:

"Children, start practicing!"

...

"Snake Aunt" was initially manageable; she wasn't difficult to deal with due to her sluggish reactions.

Then came a giant gecko, having only front legs and a head, lacking the back half of its body. It reacted quickly but moved slowly.

Although these two fierce beasts were gigantic, their body's flaws gave Run Sheng opportunities to continue maneuvering.

Yet suddenly, "Snake Aunt's" originally missing head reappeared in the form of a blood-colored light shadow, not entirely substantive but greatly compensating for its shortcomings.

The giant gecko's missing back half was also completed by the blood light, its movements becoming even more nimble than before.

The dramatically increased pressure deprived Run Sheng of the space for maneuvering and evasion he had before, quickly beset by both beasts with no room to dodge.

But at that time, though sounds came from deep inside, Xiao Yuan hadn't yet signaled him.

Even though sound couldn't get through, Xiao Yuan only needed to create some specific movements, and with their mutual understanding, he could immediately comprehend.
