Chapter 364: No Soul, No Curse, Not Alive
Lin Moyu looked at this scene and felt something was very wrong. He didn't believe there was anything that couldn't be killed.
Even wild beasts could be killed.
How could a mere level 5 low-level corpse be unkillable?
The skeletal berserker attacked again, smashing the corpse into even finer pieces and preventing them from reassembling.
Yet in the rain, the already muddy flesh showed signs of growth again.
And it was growing on its own.
This time, Lin Moyu was a bit flustered.
Dongfang Yao mustered the courage to peek out and saw the scene of the axe smashing the head.
She immediately felt nauseous and scared, quickly closing her eyes again.
Lin Moyu ignored Dongfang Yao and targeted another corpse head.
Soul flames ignited, aimed at another corpse head.
The flames fell, but there was no scream, no movement, not even a reaction.
"These guys have no soul..."
Lin Moyu was slightly stunned; the soul flames were ineffective.
They had no soul.
"What kind of monster is this?"
They couldn't be truly killed, and corpse explosion was useless.
Without a soul, soul flames were also useless.
Lin Moyu felt like he had seen a ghost.
At this moment, Dongfang Yao, pale and weak, said, "I heard from my father that the corpses in the Corpse Realm are unkillable."
Lin Moyu shook his head, "There's no such thing as something that can't be killed, we just haven't found the right method."
As Lin Moyu spoke, a skeletal mage appeared beside him.
Skill: Elemental Explosion!
With a loud bang, the corpse head was blown into fragments.
Most of it was obliterated in the elemental explosion, leaving only some tiny, almost invisible fragments. These fragments fell to the ground and disappeared.
But Lin Moyu kept a close watch on them.
He noticed that they began to grow again in the rain.
The growth was very slow, and Lin Moyu estimated that it would take several years for them to fully recover to their original state.
The skeletal mage continued to attack.
Elemental explosions roared continuously.
Lin Moyu didn't even leave the tiniest fragment.
In the end, there wasn't even a trace left.
However, Lin Moyu never received a kill notification.
He couldn't be sure if there was no kill notification or if he hadn't killed it at all.
So far, this world had given Lin Moyu a very eerie feeling.
Lin Moyu then looked at the last corpse head.
With a point of his finger, skill: Curse of Aging!
Red light flashed, but the head had no reaction.
Lin Moyu's pupils contracted; there was no reaction.
The curse was completely ineffective.
He realized something: these corpses were not living beings.
Even undead creatures like skeletons, though not alive, still had souls.
The soul was the most basic existence of a living being.
But these corpses had no soul; they were truly just corpses.
So they were unaffected by curses and soul attacks.
They couldn't be killed because they were already dead.
But why could they still move and attack even though they were dead...
Even when smashed into pieces, they could still regenerate.
Lin Moyu couldn't understand.
"Let's go." The experiment was over, and there was no point in staying here.
Since there was an exit at the center, they had to find a way to reach it.
Dongfang Yao breathed a sigh of relief and followed closely behind Lin Moyu, not daring to fall behind.
They moved forward in the rain, the rainwater sizzling on the skeletal armor.
Lin Moyu replenished the skeletal armor for himself and Dongfang Yao.
Along the way, they encountered a few more corpses, all of which were blown to pieces by the skeletal mage.
The corpses were very weak, and one elemental explosion was enough to turn them into fragments.
The skeletons were constantly corroded by the acidic, foul-smelling rainwater, and Lin Moyu couldn't put them away until they left the rain's range.
After walking for half an hour, they finally left the rain's range.
Lin Moyu put away the skeletons.
The skeletal mage returned to the summoning space smoothly, but the skeletal berserker couldn't return.
Lin Moyu stopped, feeling puzzled.
Even though they had left the rain's range, why couldn't the skeletal berserker be put away?
After careful sensing, he found that the skeletal berserker was still taking damage.
The damage was very slight, so slight that he wouldn't have noticed it if he hadn't been paying close attention.
It was because of this damage that he couldn't put away the skeletal berserker.
Lin Moyu carefully searched and finally found the source of the damage.
It was the spot where the corpse head had bitten, leaving a mark smaller than a hair.
Such a small wound, such a small attack, yet it could last so long.
From the moment it was bitten until now, several hours had passed, and it was still there.
Lin Moyu looked at Dongfang Yao, "You said earlier that we mustn't be bitten by the corpses, right?"
Dongfang Yao, now much calmer, said, "Yes, my father said that if bitten by a corpse, one would eventually turn into a corpse."
Dongfang Yao's face changed slightly, exclaiming, "Are you saying your skeleton is infected with corpse poison?"
"Is it poison? Or something else..." Lin Moyu's heart stirred, and the Lich General appeared.
Brilliant white light shone on the skeletal berserker.
Skill: Purge.
[Purge (Level 3): Removes all abnormal statuses from legion members.]
Under the purge skill, the wound on the skeletal berserker's bone quickly disappeared.
Lin Moyu breathed a sigh of relief. Although this world was strange, it wasn't without solutions.
At least this wound could be healed.
He tried to put away the skeletal berserker, and it worked smoothly.
It was clear that the problem was resolved.
Dongfang Yao's eyes widened, "You neutralized the corpse poison?"
Lin Moyu shook his head, "It wasn't me, it was my summon."
Dongfang Yao quickly asked, "Can your summon neutralize the corpse poison for others?"
"Impossible, the summon skill only works on my summons."
Lin Moyu's answer made Dongfang Yao feel a wave of disappointment.
Dongfang Yao sighed, the hope she had just felt was dashed again.
Lin Moyu continued walking, and Dongfang Yao immediately followed, saying softly, "Lin Moyu, if one day you have the ability to cure the corpse poison, can you help me save someone?"
Lin Moyu nodded, "As long as it doesn't affect me, I can."
Dongfang Yao smiled, "Thank you."
Lin Moyu continued, "Have you figured out why we ended up here?"
Since the Dongfang family had guarded the Corpse Realm for generations, there must be a reason they ended up here.
It must be related to the Dongfang family.
Dongfang Yao was smart, and once she calmed down, she would surely figure it out.
Dongfang Yao indeed had a guess, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be my third uncle who tampered with the teleportation array." Lin Moyu looked at her, signaling her to continue.
"My third uncle is Dongfang Tuo, the biological father of Dongfang Shun."
"He is an 81-level top-tier professional, very powerful, and holds a high position in our Dongfang family."
"Moreover, he has been to the Corpse Realm and knows its location."
Hearing Dongfang Yao's explanation, it made sense.
Lin Moyu sneered, "Isn't he afraid I'll return alive?"
Dongfang Yao shook her head, "He probably never considered that we could return alive. The Corpse Realm is terrifying, even god-level experts could be in danger here."
"Besides, even if we manage to return alive, we might not have any evidence."
Lin Moyu's eyes flashed with killing intent, "Even without evidence, sometimes evidence isn't necessary."
"Just hope that your Dongfang family doesn't choose the wrong side."
Dongfang Yao shivered.
Lin Moyu's words were terrifying.
No one had ever dared to threaten the Dongfang family like this.
Since the founding of the Divine Summer Empire, the Dongfang family had been the royal family, the rulers of the empire.
The royal family governed, and the god generals commanded the military.
The two complemented each other but were independent, not interfering with each other.
But if a god general were to die at the hands of the royal family...
That would be a huge problem.
To the soldiers, the god generals were supreme.
They would think, "I risk my life on the front lines to protect the country, and you kill the god general behind my back." The consequences would be unimaginable.
Dongfang Yao held her head, "Lin Moyu, I promise to give you an explanation when we return."
"For the sake of the empire, give me a chance."
Lin Moyu stared at Dongfang Yao for a while, then slowly nodded.
It would depend on whether the explanation satisfied him.
Lin Moyu didn't want the country to fall into chaos, as it would be bad for the people and the human race.
But he would never let the culprit go for the sake of these reasons.
Lin Moyu didn't consider himself a selfless person.
Another thunderclap echoed in the sky, illuminating a large area.
The torrential rain poured down again.
