Chapter 229 The Rise of The Blood Gu Undead King
"Haha! Haha! Let me feed you more nice food!" Xiao Ma said as he opened another bag of black dogs' blood and poured into the hole. Suddenly, a skeletal hand emerged from the hole, hit Xiao Ma in the chest, and threw him off. The force was so intense that Xiao Ma vomited a mouthful of blood before he landed.
"No!" Ye Shaoyang gave up on killing the Blood Pixiu. He rushed to Xiao Ma, supported him and asked in a worried tone as he stared at the blood-stain on Xiao Ma's lips, "Are you okay?"
Pfff!
Xiao Ma vomited another mouthful of blood, and coughed loudly when he tried to grasp Ye Shaoyang's hand as he trembled.
Ye Shaoyang's heart sank. He thought Xiao Ma would not survive, but Xiao Ma burst into laughter after coughing, "Haha! Haha! I can't hold back my laugh longer. Haha! That is so funny to imagine the undead king tweaking its ears and scratching its cheeks when it finally realized that it was drinking black dogs' blood after one and a half bags. Haha! Haha! That is so, so funny. Haha..."
Ye Shaoyang was speechless. Xiao Ma's body trembled because the blood had gotten stuck in his throat and he could not laugh but not out of pain!
Ye Shaoyang glared at him, "Such a boring joke!"
"Eh, that is a Blood Gu undead king. Even you and Tan Xiaohui are afraid of it, but I got the chance to make a fool of it. Interesting! Haha -- Ouch! I can feel the pain now."
"Where is your injury?"
"My chest. Please help me massage it."
"Do it yourself," Ye Shaoyang rolled his eyes and put Xiao Ma back on the ground when he heard Tan Xiaohui shouted, "Big Brother Shaoyang, stop him, quick!"
Ye Shaoyang paused. He turned around and saw Jin Shuai running toward the coffin. He moved the three jade rings with his fingers as he looked at himself with red eyes and said darkly, "My meat can revive the undead king even without the heart of the enemy. Ye Shaoyang, you still have time to escape and live for another few days. Without my blood, you will die in fifteen days. Haha!"
No! Before Ye Shaoyang took a step forward, Jin Shuai stomped on the corner of the coffin's cover. The cover spun, and Jin Shuai dropped into the coffin.
It was too late when Ye Shaoyang reached Jin Shuai. Creak! Creak! A freaky sound came from the coffin along with Jin Shuai's screaming.
Have to think a way to pull Jin Shuai out, or I will have no cure!
Ye Shaoyang pressed on one side of the coffin's cover. After Jin Shuai activated the lock mechanism, the two parts of coffin's cover became mobile and turned around the center of the cover.
After examining the axis of the coffin's cover, Ye Shaoyang realized that it was made of an average-sized rivet. Ye Shaoyang inserted the soul binding chain in the gap between the rivet and the coffin's cover. With a snap, the rivet broke.
Ye Shaoyang asked Xiao Ma and Tan Xiaohui help to hold his side while he quickly ran around and repeated the same action, but this time, he took slightly longer to break off the rivet.
Ye Shaoyang signaled the two of them with his eyes, lifted the cover, and threw it aside. Then, they looked into the coffin together and were dumbstruck.
A tall skeleton lay in the giant coffin. The skeleton was covered with a thin layer of wrinkled, dry skin. It was different from a normal skeleton. It had a pair of blood-red eyes like a fish. They were more prominent than usual, bulging out from their sockets casting an eerie look.
The pair of big fish eyes were not proportionate to the skull and looked terrifying.
However, what frightened them the most was the long, open wound that extended from its collar bone to abdomen. Blood filled the cavity, and a body floated in the pool of blood. It was Jin Shuai!
His skin was split, and his flesh protruded, shrieking in pain as the blood slowly dissolved his body.
However, Jin Shuai's eyes beamed with joy when he saw Ye Shaoyang. The corner of his mouth twitched as though he was trying to smile but failed. Despite the pain, he dipped his head into the blood in satisfaction.
The blood in the cavity boiled and bubbled as Jin Shuai's body melted part by part.
"Big Brother Shaoyang, quickly drag him out! Even a single drop of his blood is enough to cure you!" Tan Xiaohui hurriedly shouted at Ye Shaoyang.
Tan Xiaohui's reminder pulled Ye Shaoyang back from shock. Thinking Jin Shuai's body would be completely dissolved in a short while, he did not hesitate to put his hand into the cavity and tried to grasp any part of Jin Shuai's.
The moment Ye Shaoyang touched the blood, he realized that it was boiling and corrosive. Immediately, he directed his Gang Qi to protect himself. He inserted half of his arm into the blood and pulled out the undissolved part of Jin Shuai's body.
The skeleton suddenly groaned, raised its arms and choked Ye Shaoyang. At the same time, Ye Shaoyang felt his abdomen tense up. He tried to lower his head to get a glimpse and was shocked.
The split-open skeletal ribs were like tentacles and had attached to his abdomen. Digging into Ye Shaoyang, the ribs pulled him toward its abdominal cavity.
Does it want to consume me too?
Ye Shaoyang hurriedly directed more Gang Qi to fight against the force but failed. Bit by bit, his body was dragged in. He had no control over his body.
Xiao Ma sensed that he had to do something. He advanced on the skeletal and hit its skull. However, its head was harder than the black witches. It did not stop dragging Ye Shaoyang toward it no matter how hard Xiao Ma struck it.
"Damn, it is useless!" Xiao Ma nervously rubbed his hands. Looking at Ye Shaoyang, he was one forearm distance from the skeleton. Even though the skeleton trapped his body, Ye Shaoyang could still move his arms. For the sake of his life, he had no choice to but let go Jin Shuai's body and look for a suitable ritual tool on his belt.
This skeletal is too powerful. Usual ritual tools will not work on it. Oh! The Soul Quelling Stake!
He searched everywhere for the stake on his belt but found nothing.
At once, he realized that he used the stake to stab Jin Shuai's palm, and he forgot to recover it. He quickly shouted for Xiao Ma to get the stake for him.
Before Xiao Ma moved, Tan Xiaohui found the stake and passed it to Ye Shaoyang's right hand.
Reciting the incantation, Ye Shaoyang raised the Soul Quelling Stake and stabbed the skeleton's left eye, "With the power of Yin and Yang, quell the spirits and exterminate them!"
Fizz!
The eyeball burst and a lump of red glue-like fluid spurted out.
Without hesitation, Ye Shaoyang stabbed deeper.
"Arrgh!" the skeleton roared. It loosened its grip on Ye Shaoyang and backhanded him in the chest throwing him off the skeleton. The two skeletal hands grabbed the end of the stake, pulled it out, and threw it on the ground.
Then, the skeleton stood up in the coffin.
