Shemei Village, a very inconspicuous little village, was named after a type of plum grown there called the Shemei plum.
However, starting a year ago, Shemei Village became unwilling to interact with the surrounding villages.
At first, the surrounding villages found it strange, but slowly, no one cared anymore.
They were busy trying to make a living; who had time to care about the life or death of others?
Thus, Shemei Village became even more closed off and xenophobic.
And today, a group of brightly dressed people arrived in the vicinity of Shemei Village.
"Uh, I can almost be certain that this is the place. A wave of evil Qi, I can feel it from very far away."
Yu Xiaogang frowned as he looked at the village not far away.
As the owner of the Ultimate Light Spirit, Yu Xiaogang's Spirit now possessed even more divine attributes, so he could clearly sense things like evil.
To others, the village before them might seem unremarkable, but to Yu Xiaogang, the air here reeked of stench and decay.
"Can you determine the level?"
Bibi Dong asked in a deep voice.
She thought of the goal for Yu Xiaogang's second trial: a Titled Douluo, or ten Fallen Spirit Masters at the Spirit Douluo level.
Although the specific situation of this village was unclear, if it were that Titled Douluo, they would need to call for reinforcements.
"It shouldn't be a Titled Douluo. I have been to the death row cells to sense the aura of Fallen Spirit Masters; Little Dragon has different reactions to Fallen Spirit Masters of different levels."
"The Fallen Spirit Masters in this village are far from reaching the Titled Douluo level, and it's not even certain if they have reached the Spirit Douluo level."
Yu Xiaogang said.
Spirit Hall did not necessarily execute every Fallen Spirit Master on the spot. After all, some Fallen Spirit Masters operated in gangs, and it was necessary to capture one person to catch the other gang members.
Therefore, Yu Xiaogang had gone to the death row cells to see those Fallen Spirit Masters.
And through that meeting, Yu Xiaogang discovered that the divine-attributed Little Dragon could actually perceive the danger level or the level of evil of those Fallen Spirit Masters.
Afterward, Yu Xiaogang learned that the Angel Martial Soul also possessed this ability.
This was also the reason why Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji would not wrongly kill Fallen Spirit Masters.
"Is that so? Then shall we go straight in?"
Bibi Dong was eager to try.
"That works."
Yu Xiaogang glanced at Yue Guan and Gui Mei behind Bibi Dong.
With these two present, they could even fight a Titled Douluo.
As for Flender.
Lol, he didn't come at all.
Just like that, the group walked towards Shemei Village.
On the way to Shemei Village, Yu Xiaogang encountered a villager carrying farm tools, rushing out to farm.
The two sides met in the middle of the road, but the villager acted as if he didn't see them at all, walking past them with his head down.
It looked as if the few of them were just air.
"Is he completely ignoring us?"
Bibi Dong frowned tightly.
"No, he is already dead."
Gui Mei suddenly spoke.
"Dead?!"
Bibi Dong opened her mouth wide and looked back at the retreating figure; he clearly looked just like a living person.
"Although he can still move and walk, my Spirit tells me that he is just a walking corpse."
Gui Mei was a very special Spirit Master; his Spirit could be said to be his own soul. He had died early in his childhood, but was resurrected because of his Spirit, turning into a state similar to a living dead.
Gui Mei, like Bone Douluo Gu Rong, was a Spirit Master who could very easily walk down an evil path.
Gui Mei's Spirit was his soul, which meant that he could hunt other Spirit Masters and absorb their souls to quickly become stronger.
But Gui Mei did not do that; he relied on his own hard work to reach his current level step by step.
Even with this kind of Spirit, Gui Mei still became a high-ranking member of Spirit Hall, which shows Gui Mei's capabilities.
And it was precisely because of this Spirit that Gui Mei could sense that what had just walked past them was a corpse without a soul.
"A walking corpse..."
Bibi Dong couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine.
A corpse walking past her like a living person—thinking about such a thing made one feel cold.
The group continued walking, and soon, they encountered another person, also a corpse, and similarly acting as if they hadn't seen them.
When the third one came, out of curiosity, Yu Xiaogang softly called out to the person as they walked past.
"Excuse me, sir, can we ask for directions?"
Bibi Dong was wondering why Yu Xiaogang would call out when he knew it was a corpse, when she saw that the corpse, as if triggering some condition, suddenly stopped and looked up at them.
"Asking for directions? Who are you?"
A normal tilt of the head, normal speech, and a normal expression of confusion—if she hadn't known beforehand that this was a corpse, Bibi Dong would have thought it was a normal person.
But it was precisely because she knew everything in advance that she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
Who the hell could stand this scene!
Bibi Dong cast an inquiring look at Gui Mei, with a hint of pleading in her eyes.
Unfortunately, Gui Mei just shook his head.
Well, it really was a corpse having a normal conversation with them!
As expected of a Fallen Spirit Master, their Spirits are just evil.
Yu Xiaogang asked a few simple questions, and the "villager" answered them calmly. Upon learning that Yu Xiaogang intended to continue forward and pass through Shemei Village, the other person's face finally showed surprise.
"Judging by your direction, you are passing through our village."
"That's quite a coincidence. By the way, brother, does your village have any shops where we can eat? Our group has been walking all the way here and is starving; we were just looking for a place to eat."
"Yes, yes, just go to the village and find the village chief; he will definitely arrange everything for you."
After exchanging a few more polite words and saying goodbye to the villager, the group watched the "villager" leave.
"Oh my god, that was actually a corpse, so terrifying!!"
Bibi Dong watched the "villager" walk away and couldn't help but hug her arms; she had goosebumps all over just now.
Who would have thought that they would chat with a corpse for so long.
"Hahaha, then you are inexperienced. If you travel more in the Douluo Continent, similar things will not be uncommon."
"I remember there was a Spirit Master once whose Spirit Ability, after being used, turned him directly into a corpse."
"And that's not the most Heaven-Defying part. The most Heaven-Defying part is that during the time he turns into a corpse, anyone will subconsciously feel that he is already dead."
"Besides that, when seeing his corpse lying on the ground, everyone will subconsciously produce a sense of repulsion; even very hungry Spirit Beasts are unwilling to take a bite when facing this corpse."
"Just like that, after a period of time, the other party revives, perfectly avoiding danger."
Yue Guan recounted some interesting Spirit Abilities he had seen before to ease Bibi Dong's frightened heart.
Sure enough, hearing about these interesting Spirit Abilities, Bibi Dong felt much better.
Of course, everyone knew that this was only temporary.
Because what they were about to face next might be a whole village of such "corpses."
