Chapter 139: Seizing the Snow Cloud Fox

Yin Mo frowned.

"That's it, tear open the talisman and give me the box." The young woman in black said excitedly when she saw Yin Mo holding the jade box.

Yin Mo was about to tear off the talisman, but her urgency made him feel uneasy.

He hesitated, withdrew his hand, and looked up at the young woman.

"It's this, tear open the talisman and give it to me." The young woman urged again hurriedly.

Yin Mo frowned.

"Why the hurry?" he asked.

He saw that the young woman's eyes turned green, her face twisted, and she exuded a vicious aura, completely unlike her previous gentleness.

"What are you going to do? Stop! Don't come over here!" The young woman shouted in panic when she saw Yin Mo walking towards her with a jade box with talismans on it.

Yin Mo caught a glimpse of the expression on the young woman's face and immediately felt that the atmosphere had become eerie, and his expression also darkened.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand without saying a word and threw the jade box directly at the young woman.

Although Yin Mo didn't understand why the young woman was frightened by a talisman, since the other party had shown hostility, he didn't intend to be polite.

The young woman in black became even more panicked upon seeing this, and immediately slapped the stone platform beneath her with one hand, trying to get up and hide.

However, this action triggered some kind of restriction. As soon as she stood up, she was pulled back to her original position by the red light flashing around her, her face full of pain.

The jade box had already shot in front of the young woman, making a crisp sound, then automatically changed direction and flew over the young woman's head.

Then, the golden talisman on the box shone brightly, and countless golden runes flew out of the talisman, lightly landing on the young woman.

"No!" the young woman in black shouted in despair, her originally beautiful face becoming distorted.

Then, as if unwilling to accept defeat, she quickly raised her one arm to cover her face, and at the same time tried to lower her head to her chest, as if trying to hide herself.

The rune finally landed on the young woman's shoulder, and then a golden light flashed, and a green smoke quickly rose.

The young woman's body was shaking, and she was making a strange, shrill cry that did not sound like a human being at all.

Yin Mo's expression changed drastically, and he involuntarily took a few steps back, his palms slightly sweating.

He immediately picked up a spirit beast bag filled with gold-eating bugs, and with his other hand tightly grasped the ancient jade ruyi treasure, staring at the stone platform nervously without saying a word.

More runes fell, and green smoke billowed around the young woman in black. In an instant, the entire stone platform was shrouded in green smoke. Except for the occasional flash of golden light, the young woman's figure could no longer be seen.

However, the screams in the green fog continued, sometimes sharp and high-pitched, sometimes hoarse and violent, as if constantly changing, making people shudder.

Yin Mo stared at it intently, secretly surprised, and couldn't help licking his lips. At the same time, he also tried hard not to breathe.

Because as the green smoke spread, the whole room was filled with a pungent fishy smell. He only took one or two puffs and felt dizzy and nauseous, and his heart was startled.

Just then, "crunching" sounds came from the thick fog.

Yin Mo was stunned for a moment, and before he could understand what the sound was, he heard a "whoosh".

A emerald green claw suddenly stretched out from the smoke like lightning, wrapped with silver chains, and fiercely grabbed Yin Mo who had retreated to a corner of the stone chamber.

The claws extended and retracted as fast as a python, quickly extending several feet away and almost grabbing the protective light shield on Yin Mo's body.

Yin Mo's heart tightened, and he tightened the jade ruyi in his hand, preparing to cast a spell.

However, the silver chain on the claw suddenly contracted, followed by sparks flying and a burnt smell.

A painful growl came from the depths of the smoke, and the claws suddenly retracted.

Yin Mo tightly closed his lips, staring at the thick fog, his expression changing unpredictably. After some thought, he took a few steps back with a gloomy face, pressed close to the lapis lazuli wall, and at the same time injected a large amount of spiritual power into Yu Ruyi.

Then, the red and yellow light shield on his body became thicker.

Only then did he relax a little.

After about a cup of tea, the strange cries in the green mist gradually subsided. The light of the jade box and the golden rune gradually dimmed, and the number of runes that fell also decreased significantly, which was completely different from the beginning.

"Although the golden talisman can restrain this creature which is not a ghost but a monster, the spiritual energy it contains seems to be limited. I don't know if I can still control the opponent after the spiritual power is exhausted." Yin Mo was worried.

Fortunately, Yin Mo's worries did not come true.

When the screams finally stopped and the green mist became silent, the light from the golden talisman had not yet completely dissipated.

Yin Mo looked at the golden talisman in the air and did not approach it immediately. Instead, he waited for a moment until the light of the golden talisman completely disappeared and fell into the green mist together with the jade box. Then his expression changed and he began to act.

He waved one hand to temporarily put away the spirit beast bag, then used the other hand to pinch the magic spell and muttered something.

A red ball of light the size of an egg immediately appeared in front of him.

He stared at the ball of light and without hesitation, he lightly tapped it with his finger. The ball of light whooshed and turned into a red light and disappeared into the green mist.

Then, he raised his eyebrows and said "explode" softly.

"Boom!" A loud noise was heard, and the smoke was instantly blown away by the wind and disappeared without a trace. At the same time, a hot breath filled the entire cabin.

To deal with these evil spirits and poisonous fogs, fire-attributed skills are indeed the most effective.

The heat wave hit him in the face. Yin Mo stood there motionless, but with a strange light flashing in his eyes, he stared at the stone platform after the smoke dissipated.

When the smoke cleared, he saw a suddenly frightening scene. His throat tightened and he felt a little cold.

A humanoid creature was lying on the stone platform, motionless, his life or death unknown.

Although this creature looks like a human, its body is covered with dense, coarse green hair and emits a strong corpse stench.

Although he hadn't seen the creature's face clearly, he was sure that it was definitely not human.

Similar to the young woman in black, it also had only one arm. And that hand was covered with black nails, which were obviously the ghost claws that attacked Yin Mo just now.

What caught Yin Mo's attention was that the monster was now covered with thin silver chains, not only tied to its hands and feet, but most of the chains passed through its chest, as if it was completely bound there.

Yin Mo didn't think much about it and immediately let the flying sword fly towards the monster, but the result made him smile bitterly, as the green-haired monster was completely unharmed.

The corners of Yin Mo's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a bitter smile, but he was not surprised in his heart.

After all, a monster that could be trapped so tightly here must be extraordinary. It would be surprising if I could cut off its head with one sword.

At this time, Yin Mo waved at the flying sword, took back these magic weapons, then stepped towards the green-haired monster and swung his sleeves.

A blue cloud flew out from his sleeves, gently wrapped the monster, and then fell silently, revealing its true appearance.

A pale face with a few bones hanging on it and a skull-like head appeared in front of Yin Mo.

Its open mouth revealed a pair of huge fangs, which looked extremely terrifying.

"What is this?" Yin Mo looked at the green hair around the monster, then observed its appearance. He seemed to have seen something similar in some book.

He fell into deep thought. "Corpse goblin."

After a moment, Yin Mo suddenly raised his head and shouted the monster's name with a hint of fear in his tone.

At the same time, his mind quickly recalled the rumors about this evil spirit, which was widely known in ancient times.

The origin of the word "corpse demon" is, as the name suggests, referring to a kind of zombie. However, it is very different from the zombies cultivated by practitioners or ordinary zombies that communicate with spirits underground.

The conditions under which they form are extremely harsh.

The corpse formed by a corpse goblin must be a cultivator at least in the Nascent Soul stage. Ordinary people or cultivators with low cultivation cannot become a corpse goblin.

Secondly, these practitioners must have innate spiritual roots of wood or earth attributes, and they must be natural spiritual roots. Otherwise, there is no chance to use the power of wood or stone to revive.

In addition, there is another necessary condition for the formation of corpse goblins, that is, these practitioners must have extremely heavy resentment before death.

Only in this way will the soul remain on the corpse and be unwilling to reincarnate.

After a long period of condensation, coupled with other coincidental factors, the soul and the corpse merged again to form a corpse goblin.

The corpse goblin can be said to be half human, half corpse, or half corpse, half ghost.

They are not afraid of sunlight, nor are they subject to the restrictions of ghosts, demons, or ordinary zombies, because they not only retain their memories from their previous lives, but also inherit the skills of practitioners.

Due to the resentment before death, they are not good creatures and almost all of them have a tendency to kill.

Especially for practitioners, he likes to imprison their souls in his body and torture them slowly.

In the ancient legends of the world of immortal cultivation, corpse goblins are existences that everyone shudders at.

Hearing the rumor that the corpse goblin's body is made of gold and iron and is invulnerable and can only be refined with true fire or its soul extracted and sealed, Yin Mo couldn't help but feel a headache.

The corpse goblin at the moment is obviously not really dead, it is just temporarily restrained by the golden talisman. It is estimated that it will take some time for it to recover.

Thinking of this, Yin Mo's gaze turned to the jade box that fell beside the corpse goblin, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Since the corpse goblin was trapped here and not turned into ashes, it means that it might have been sealed using the soul-sucking method.

Judging from the corpse goblin's nervous attitude towards the jade box and the fact that it was sealed with a golden talisman, it is very likely that the corpse goblin's spirit is sealed in the jade box.

But if so, why is the corpse goblin's body still able to move and show high intelligence, trying to trick Yin Mo into opening the jade box?

Could it be that the soul extraction was not completely successful, leaving behind a residual soul?

In addition, why does the corpse goblin carry such a treasure as the Jade of the Spirit Eye? Did it obtain it after being trapped?

These questions made Yin Mo frown, and his heart was full of confusion.

However, he soon gave up thinking about these unsolvable problems and instead looked around for a way out.

To refine the corpse goblin, one needs to have a cultivation level of at least the Nascent Soul stage, and it will not succeed without continuous refining for several months.

Although Yin Mo has such cultivation, he does not intend to waste time doing such things.

His goal was to leave this place as quickly as possible and let the corpse golem continue to be trapped here.

As for whether there will be other people who will unfortunately break into this place in the future and continue to be deceived by the corpse goblin, that is no longer something he needs to consider.

He believed that by then masters from all major sects would come to deal with this problem.

However, Yin Mo's gaze eventually returned to the jade box.

He observed the golden talisman for a few seconds, hesitated for a moment, suddenly reached out and sucked the jade box into his hand, then put it into the storage bag without any emotion.

The runes on the golden talisman were really very strange, and he planned to take it back and study it carefully.

As for whether to open this box, he would of course have to wait until his Nascent Soul was fully developed and he was sure that it was foolproof before he would try it.

If there really is the spirit of a corpse goblin or other evil creature inside, he has the counteracting power of the evil-repelling divine thunder and the soul-crying beast, plus his cultivation level, so he naturally won't be afraid at all.

Yin Mo shook the jade ruyi in his hand, the light shield on his body disappeared, and a little yellow wolf jumped out.

He was ready to use the earth escape technique to escape directly from this stone chamber.

After all, no matter how hard and rare lapis lazuli is, it is still made of earth and stone, and should not be difficult for the earth escape technique.

After making up his mind, he was about to wake up the little wolf spirit, but suddenly his expression changed and he turned around to look at the motionless corpse.

After thinking for a moment, he sighed, walked to the front of the corpse goblin, raised his foot and kicked towards the pit.

As a result, the corpse goblin's body turned over, revealing an inconspicuous pit. The Snow Cloud Fox inside opened its black eyes and looked at Yin Mo pitifully.

Yin Mo smiled slightly and said softly:

"You are quite clever and good at finding shelter."

After saying that, Yin Mo waved his hand, and a green light rushed towards the little fox.

The white fox seemed to sense something was wrong and quickly jumped up and tried to escape.

However, Yin Mo's green light was so fast that it didn't have time to jump far before it was rolled up by the green light and quickly caught in Yin Mo's hands.

Yin Mo held the white fox's neck with one hand, turned around and walked towards the stone wall behind him without hesitation.

As he walked, he muttered to himself:
"You are so lucky, little guy. Not only are you unharmed, but you are also able to survive with a monster like the corpse goblin until now. It's incredible!"

"Huh?" Yin Mo said this, then suddenly remembered something and stopped.

Then, his face changed drastically, and with a wave of his hand, he threw the white fox in his hand towards the stone wall opposite.

However, at that moment, a hint of resentment flashed in the fox's eyes.

It raised its front paws and grabbed Yin Mo who was close to it.

The originally short claws quickly grew larger along the way, becoming huge sharp claws that grabbed Yin Mo's chest fiercely.

There was a loud, piercing noise.

Amid Yin Mo's roar, the white fox was thrown out by the angry Yin Mo, as if he was going to smash it into a meat paste.

However, the little fox rolled nimbly in the air and landed steadily on the other side of the stone chamber.

It flashed a cold gaze as it looked at Yin Mo who was standing there unharmed, with a hint of surprise and disappointment in its eyes.

Yin Mo lowered his head expressionlessly, looking at his chest. He saw a big cut left by it, revealing flesh as hard as steel.

With the black dragon's Wu Lei body-refining ability, Yan Yun's body was greatly strengthened.

Even though this Snow Cloud Fox was possessed by a corpse goblin and its strength was greatly enhanced, it was still no threat to Yin Mo.
