Chapter 9
Upgrading Purple Word Attributes to Drive Corpses and Find the Way! Six-Sided Copper Bell!

As the Corpse Leech King drew closer to the boat.

Zhang Qi Ling reached out and pulled the Corpse Leech King from the water!

He tossed it onto the boat.

Jiang Yang chuckled.

The golden word strip, "King of Hell Riding Corpse," activated.

A powerful and mysterious force rippled outwards!

The Corpse Leech King thrashed about.

It wanted to climb out of the boat, but the force held it back.

It couldn't move!

Zhang Qi Ling's eyes flickered.

Fear?

The Corpse Leech King was afraid of Jiang Yang?

The incredibly strange and powerful force within Jiang Yang's body was at work!

Even he couldn't guarantee that the Corpse Leech King would feel fear when facing him!

What exactly was the power within Jiang Yang's body?

How could it be so strong?

Wu San Xing hurriedly shone his mining lamp towards the Corpse Leech King.

A massive, black Corpse Leech was trembling anxiously.

He was startled.

"How can this Corpse Leech be so big?!"

He had never seen a Corpse Leech this large before!

How much dead flesh had it consumed to grow this large?

Jiang Yang squatted down.

While he didn't want to get his hands dirty, he had to kill the Corpse Leech King himself to claim the word strips!

He inserted two fingers into the creature's back.

With a twist of his fingers, he crushed the Corpse Leech King's brain.

He pulled out a white, tendon-like object.

"Found word strips that can be fused: All Things Coexist (Orange), Rotting Flesh Accumulating Yin (Blue), Creature Calling (Blue). Do you wish to choose and fuse them?"

"Fuse!"

He noticed his word strips had changed.

"Name: Jiang Yang

Abilities: Appraising Treasures, Tomb Robbing, Firearms, Martial Arts, Mechanisms, Summoning.

Word Strips: King of Hell Riding Corpse (Gold), All Things Coexist (Orange), Corpse Seeking Path (Purple), Creature Calling (Blue), Remove the False and Preserve the True (Blue), Forge Swords into Plows (Blue), Walk, Fight, Explore Caves (Green), Kick Heaven and Play with Wells (Green), Skillful Craftsmanship (Green), Use Your Heart to Make Yourself Lucky (White)."

"Corpse Seeking Path (Purple): Eats human flesh, avoids evil spirits, has a 60% success rate in finding the correct path within evil spirits!"

His eyes lit up.

With this word strip, even if he encountered a thousand-year-old female puppet in the Pile of Corpses, he could leave unscathed!

Zhang Qi Ling was full of admiration.

This move, extracting the Corpse Leech King's central nervous system, was incredibly efficient and precise!

Even he couldn't say he could do it as well!

Moreover, Jiang Yang had a deep understanding of the Corpse Leech King.

With a single glance, he accurately located the Corpse Leech King's central nervous system!

The moment he pulled out the nervous system, the Corpse Leech King became paralyzed!

However, he saw that Jiang Yang twisted his fingers inside the Corpse Leech King before extracting the central nervous system.

The Corpse Leech King should be dead now!

He was truly amazing!

Wu San Xing and the others were equally stunned.

The Corpse Leech's back is extremely hard.

Especially this gigantic Corpse Leech, who knows how many years it's lived for.

The hardness of its shell is beyond comprehension.

Yet Jiang Yang just inserted two fingers into the Corpse Leech's back.

How strong was his power?!

Wu San Xing swallowed nervously.

He had invited a Buddha to his team!

With Jiang Yang around, they could go tomb raiding, travel to heaven and earth, and he wouldn't be afraid of anything!

Jiang Yang, having upgraded his word strips, was in a good mood.

"Place the Corpse Leech King at the bow of the boat and keep moving forward!"

Wu San Xing was taken aback before realizing.

The Corpse Leech King grew large by consuming rotting flesh.

Even if it was dead, the yin energy within its body was stronger than that of a dead dog or the boatman.

Placing it at the bow meant they would have yin energy to lead the way!

Leaving this cave would be no problem!

He looked at Jiang Yang.

It felt like Jiang Yang had planned this?

As if he knew there would be a Corpse Leech King in the cave!

He shook his head, dismissing the thought.

If Jiang Yang had known about this situation, why would he choose this path?

Moreover, according to Jiang Yang's character, if he had been here before, he wouldn't have let the old man and the boatman live until now!

He guessed that Jiang Yang might have some unspeakable abilities.

He could sense danger.

But whether or not that was the case, he only had one thought about Jiang Yang now.

Such a powerful patron, he had to hold on tight!

With Jiang Yang around, the Warring States tomb was a sure win!

Wu Xie looked at Jiang Yang with admiration.

Now he understood why Uncle Three told him not to provoke Jiang Yang!

Such a powerful person could safely leave the tomb even without them.

But if they left Jiang Yang, they wouldn't be so sure!

It was only natural to show some respect.

He remembered the sound he'd heard earlier and asked curiously, "Mr. Jiang, was that sound made by the Corpse Leech?"

He didn't remember Corpse Leeches making any sounds!

Wu San Xing also remembered the sound.

It seemed to be able to affect people's minds, making them extremely irritable!

It was incredibly strange!

Moreover, the sound had been followed by the appearance of the Corpse Leech King!

It was truly bizarre!

Jiang Yang glanced at the Corpse Leech King at the bow.

"Turn it over!"

Zhang Qi Ling flipped the Corpse Leech King over.

Wu San Xing and the others saw a fist-sized, six-sided copper bell on the Corpse Leech King's tail!

Each side was engraved with intricate incantations.

There was a thick layer of verdigris on the surface.

The six-sided bell on the Corpse Leech King must be very old!
