Chapter 561
Zhang Qilin gave a brief reply, his blade flashing like a net, clearing a path for everyone to reach the riverbank.
Zhang Hao seized the opportunity, clasped his hands together, and then suddenly separated them, creating a golden fire bridge that appeared out of thin air and spanned the river.
"Go quickly and get the Water Spirit! I'll hold them off!"
Wu Tianzhen and Xie Xiaohua were the first to rush onto the bridge made of flames. Strangely, the flames did not burn them; instead, they carried them quickly to the other side.
The two ancient corpses tried to give chase, but Zhang Hao whipped them back into the water with a fire whip.
On the stone platform across the river, the Water Spirit lay quietly in a stone box—it was a completely transparent blue jade pendant, with water flowing inside, emitting a cool aura.
Just as Wu Tianzhen was about to reach out to grab it, the water surface suddenly exploded, and a monster twice the size of the other ancient corpses burst out of the water!
"Watch out! It's the leader of the Water Corpse!"
Xie Xiaohua exclaimed and raised her gun to fire, but the bullet was deflected by the monster's scales.
The giant ancient corpse had three blood-red eyes, and its tail, covered in barbs, swept across. Wu Tianzhen barely managed to dodge, but was still grazed on the shoulder, instantly drawing blood.
Jie Xiaohua fired continuous shots to provide cover, but the monster was extremely fast and pounced on the stone platform in the blink of an eye.
At the critical moment, a dark figure descended from the sky—Zhang Qilin leaped through the air, his black gold ancient sword, carrying a chilling aura, slashing straight at the monster's head!
The leader of the ancient corpses nimbly dodged to the side, then swung his claw at Zhang Qilin's chest.
"Hey bro!"
Wu Tianzhen shouted.
Zhang Qilin managed to twist his body in mid-air, but his chest was still slashed open by sharp claws, and blood immediately stained his black clothes.
But he gritted his teeth and swung his knife, the blade slicing through the monster's three eyes, black liquid gushing out. The monster let out a deafening howl and writhed wildly.
"Now!"
Zhang Qilin shouted, enduring the excruciating pain.
Taking advantage of the moment, Wu Tianzhen grabbed the Water Spirit, and its blue light instantly intensified.
Sensing that the treasure had been taken, the leader of the ancient corpses rushed forward despite his eye injury.
With quick reflexes, Xie Xiaohua stuck an explosive talisman on the monster's back.
“Get down!”
With a deafening roar, a large hole was blasted in the back of the Manggu Corpse Leader, but it did not fall and struggled to continue forward.
At this moment, Zhang Hao arrived, and the golden flames transformed into a spear, piercing into the monster's wound and burning it to ashes from the inside out.
On the other side of the river, the remaining ancient corpses, seeing their leader killed, all dived into the water to escape.
The fat man wanted to chase after her, but Huo Xiuxiu stopped him.
"Stop chasing! The guy's injured!"
Everyone quickly gathered around Zhang Qilin.
His wound was deep, and the blood that flowed out had an eerie black tinge.
Zhang Hao's expression was grave:
"The poison from the ancient corpse needs to be treated immediately."
Yi Sa quickly opened the medical kit and first cleaned the wound with disinfectant.
The moment the medicine touched the wound, Zhang Qilin groaned, cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and wisps of black smoke rose from the wound.
"This poison is extraordinary..."
Yi Sa's hands were trembling slightly.
Zhang Hao took the Water Spirit and gently placed it above Zhang Qilin's wound.
Under the blue light, the black toxins writhed like living things as they were drawn out and merged into the jade pendant.
As the toxins were cleared, Zhang Qilin's breathing gradually stabilized, but his face remained pale.
"We need to find a safe place to rest."
Zhang Hao looked around:
"The ancient corpse might bring back reinforcements."
The Dragon God let out a low roar at the opportune moment and gestured in a direction with his head.
The group followed it to a dry cave with a well-hidden entrance, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.
After settling in, Zhang Hao took out the Water Spirit and examined it carefully.
In the dim light, the water flowing inside the jade pendant formed strange runes, somewhat similar to the symbols seen on the altar.
"The spirits of the five elements..."
Zhang Hao seemed to be deep in thought:
"If we collect all five, we might be able to form a formation to seal the ancient god."
Wu Tianzhen fed Zhang Qilin some water and asked worriedly:
"Hey buddy, how are you feeling?"
Zhang Qilin shook his head slightly to indicate that he was alright, but suddenly grabbed Wu Tianzhen's wrist and said in a low voice:
