Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 741

?Chapter 741: Chapter 328: Self-Destruct, Witnessing Self-Destruction Again_2 Chapter 741: Chapter 328: Self-Destruct, Witnessing Self-Destruction Again_2 Cultivators self-destruct only when their Soul Spirits are utterly annihilated.

Unless trapped in a desperate situation, wishing to perish along with their opponent, would they choose such an extreme method as self-destruction.

However, this place is the Soul Tomb, which, although fraught with peril, also represents a glimmer of hope for escape.

Even when confronted by danger, one shouldn’t directly resort to self-destruction, should they?

Subsequently,

Lin Jing voiced his thoughts.

After hearing this, the Yan Family Ancestor pondered for a moment before saying,

“I suspect there’s some unknown danger here that compels one to self-destruct.”

“We also need to be careful.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing nodded slightly.

Changyun Yuanlei was even more cautious, closely following Lin Jing and continuously looking around…

…

Next,

The three continued advancing through the alley.

Perhaps because the main street was too noisy, attracting all the zombies, Lin Jing and his companions had a very smooth journey, not encountering even a single zombie.

In this manner, the trio passed through the alley, finally covering one-third of the distance.

While Lin Jing moved ceaselessly forward, the remaining two on the main street were also retreating inward as they fought.

It could be said that they almost kept pace with Lin Jing’s group, also reaching one-third of the journey.

However, these two seemed to have expended a lot of Spiritual Power, and the disturbances from the main street were growing fainter.

Furthermore,

The two Demon Cultivators who had entered first also hadn’t appeared, presumably like Lin Jing’s group, they were hiding their tracks and stealthily moving forward.

Lin Jing and his companions passed through the alley and quickly arrived at another side street.

However, upon reaching this place, Lin Jing and his party were not so fortunate.

Upon arriving at this side street, Lin Jing and his team encountered a wandering zombie.

Upon seeing the zombie, it seemed somewhat sluggish, not reacting at all.

At this moment, the Yan Family Ancestor stopped the other two and gestured for them to be silent.

Following that,

The Yan Family Ancestor slowly moved towards the zombie.

His movements were light, and he did not cast any spells; he just slowly approached the zombie.

As the Yan Family Ancestor continually got closer until they were about three meters apart, the zombie finally reacted, lunging at the Yan Family Ancestor.

Seeing this, the Yan Family Ancestor flicked his finger, gathering a green light at his fingertip and shooting it directly at the zombie’s head.

This green light was subtle, with barely any fluctuation even as it shot out.

As the green light shot out and entered the zombie’s head,

followed by a soft “pop,” the zombie’s head exploded like a punctured balloon.

Yet, the explosion was not loud.

The headless zombie’s body fell to the ground with a “thud.”

From the zombie’s attack to its body falling, everything was completed in the blink of an eye.

The noise created during this process was also minimal.

After the zombie fell to the ground, Lin Jing immediately spread out his Divine Sense, scanning the surroundings.

There were not many zombies on this street.

Although not many, there were still dozens within the range of Lin Jing’s Divine Sense.

The closest one was only about ten meters away from Lin Jing’s group.

Yet, the recent events had not attracted other zombies.

Zombies are highly sensitive to fluctuations in Spiritual Power.

Clearly, the Yan Family Ancestor had also noticed this, hence his method of probing.

Lin Jing became aware of this fact not long ago.

Because the three cultivators ahead of them had encountered an attack by zombies upon entering, Lin Jing’s group had been extremely fortunate.

Even in the Soul Tomb, where zombies should have been everywhere, they hadn’t encountered even a single one.

This was truly inconceivable.

Until then, Lin Jing had been contemplating this matter.

Meanwhile, the fluctuations in Spiritual Power coming intermittently from the main street helped Lin Jing to realize that it was these fluctuations that had drawn all the zombies away.

Toward the source of the Spiritual Power fluctuations they moved.

Also because of this, the fluctuations in Spiritual Power on the main street had never ceased since they entered.

In their attempts to slay the zombies, they inevitably had to use Spiritual Power, and using Spiritual Power would create fluctuations, attracting more zombies.

As zombies continuously surged toward them, they were compelled to use Spiritual Power to slay these zombies…

In this way, they were trapped in a vicious cycle…

An endless horde of walking corpses continuously surrounded them, leaving no chance for escape.

Thinking back to the different reactions of the walking corpses when several groups had entered the Soul Tomb before, Lin Jing became even more certain of this.

The first group of four people and the third group of three had both used spiritual shields to protect themselves.

It was precisely because of the spiritual shields that they attracted the attacks of the walking corpses.

Only the second group, the two demon cultivators, seemed to rely on their coffin-shaped magical treasure, but that wasn’t the case.

The reason they were not attacked was that they did not use any spiritual power when they entered.

Actually.

The pattern of the walking corpses’ movements was easy to figure out.

But because of the deadly reputation of the Soul Tomb, every cultivator who entered tried to find ways to protect themselves.

The more thorough their protection, the more it tended to attract the walking corpses’ attacks.

Once contact began and drew the attention of the walking corpses, it inevitably caused fluctuations in spiritual power, and the greater the fluctuations, the more walking corpses were attracted.

By the time they discovered this pattern, it was already too late.

The walking corpses had been alarmed, and to ensure their survival, they had no choice but to slay them, which in turn required using spiritual power…

Moreover.

Most of the time, the Soul Tomb was enveloped in a colorful fog, making it impossible for those outside to see what was happening inside.

And those inside, once they entered, could never leave or send messages outside.

Therefore, the pattern of the walking corpses inside the Soul Tomb has never been known to the outside.

Lin Jing then thought of the two demon cultivators, who seemed to know something.

It was just unclear how they came to know it.

…

Shortly after, the Yan Family patriarch returned to their side and informed them about this situation.

Indeed.

The Yan Family patriarch’s analysis coincided with Lin Jing’s.

Having learned the pattern of the walking corpses’ movements, the trio felt somewhat relieved.

Even if they encountered walking corpses thereafter, they were not so panicked anymore.

????0.??

Subsequently, the three hid themselves well and tried their best to minimize their own fluctuations as they continued walking deeper inside.

Walking on this replica street, they avoided the walking corpses while looking for another spacious alley.

Now that they had figured out the walking corpses’ pattern of movement, yet in the streets and courtyards on either side of the alleys,

there were still those unknown, mysterious creatures.

So, the trio didn’t dare enter overly narrow alleys and could only choose the more spacious ones.

As the three kept moving, they got farther and farther from the main street, and the noises from that direction became less and less.

This time, they did not find an alley that led to the center of the Soul Tomb but found another spacious street along the river.

This street was very wide.

But there were quite a few walking corpses here as well, almost every few meters, they encountered one.

The three reached the banks, where the riverwater had already turned black and red, and even limbs and severed arms were constantly floating in the river.

Moreover, the occasional waves of bloody stench mixed with foul smells continuously invaded their nostrils.

Helplessly,

Lin Jing and his companions had to hold their breath as they walked.

This time.

Their journey was not as smooth.

Due to an increase in the walking corpses, it was inevitable that they encountered a few.

And whenever this happened, the Yan Family patriarch would promptly take action and deal with them directly.

Sometimes, two or three walking corpses, being too close, would be startled at once.

At these times, Lin Jing would also take action.

Lin Jing’s method was different from the Yan Family patriarch; he truly took action.

Lin Jing’s formidable body refinement cultivation was not something these long-dead walking corpses could withstand.

He could simply crush a walking corpse’s skull with his bare hands without using spiritual power, though it was somewhat violent, the noise made was minimal, not enough to attract other walking corpses.

With the Yan Family patriarch and Lin Jing there, Changyun Yuanlei didn’t need to make a move, just following along and watching was enough.

Of course, he couldn’t make a move either.

Should he act, it would inevitably cause quite a disturbance, definitely attracting more walking corpses.

Thus, the trio continued to move forward for a good while.

Just as they reached nearly halfway, activity from the main street could be heard again.

“Boom!”

A huge explosion was heard, this one even more intense than before.

Seeing this,

it seemed another Divine Transformation cultivator had self-destructed…
