Chapter 4141 Black to the point of being purple
I was careless this time. I thought that since the zombie had just been dug out, before it had fully turned into a zombie, I could first tie it up with a red rope, then trap it with a corpse-suppressing talisman, and finally release seven or eight Fiery Talismans, which would be enough to kill the zombie.
Unexpectedly, this series of actions completely activated the zombie.
Moreover, this thing is extremely difficult to deal with. With Little Fatty's strength, it sent him flying in one round.
At that moment, the zombie chased after Little Fatty, who then ran towards me.
As he ran, he shouted for me to hurry up and make my move.
In the blink of an eye, Little Fatty was right next to me. I grabbed the Heavenly Ruler and ran towards the zombie. I jumped up high and slammed the Heavenly Ruler down on the zombie's head.
I must say, the best way to deal with zombies is with the Heavenly Ruler that my master left me. I slapped it on the zombie's forehead, and it let out a wail, staggered back a few steps, and a thick aura of corpses rose from its head.
However, the zombie was clearly not convinced. It roared and continued to pounce on me.
It seems this zombie cannot be dealt with quickly; we must contend with it for a while.
I could see that Little Fatty was terrified. This thing wasn't something that could be dealt with just by being strong. I quickly opened a gap in the magic circle and told him to wait for me outside while I dealt with the zombie myself.
Little Fatty didn't hesitate either. As soon as he heard that I could leave first, he immediately said to me, "Okay, Little Jie, be careful. I'll wait for you outside."
This kid really doesn't hold back. He left as soon as he said he would, and in the blink of an eye, he was outside the magic circle.
After Little Fatty left, I closed the magic circle again and continued to fight the zombie.
The zombie was extremely ferocious, constantly lunging at me. I could only rely on my agile movements to dodge and weave, taking the opportunity to strike it with the Heavenly Ruler.
With each hit, the zombie emits a deathly aura. I can only keep wearing him down like this until the deathly aura on his body dissipates. Then I will use the Heavenly Seal to finish him off.
However, just as I was struggling with the zombie in front of me, Master Zhou, who was outside the magic circle, suddenly shouted in my direction, "Young Master Wu, something's happened! Those workers seem to have been infected with corpse poison and are already showing signs of turning into zombies..."
It's like one problem after another. Just when we thought we hadn't even dealt with the zombie, the workers ran into trouble again.
Luckily, I had set up a magic array beforehand, so I could let the zombie cause trouble for a while. I would check on the workers' situation and then come back to deal with it.
Immediately, I opened a gap in the magic circle and jumped out in a flash.
The zombie followed closely behind, but by the time it pounced, the magic circle had already closed again, forcefully bouncing the zombie back.
This made the zombie so anxious that it let out a strange cry. This brainless thing kept crashing into the magic circle, only to be bounced back by it each time.
I ignored the zombie and walked straight toward Master Zhou and the others. There I saw the workers who had dug the grave earlier lying haphazardly on the ground, trembling and foaming at the mouth. Their legs and hands were a purplish-black color.
"Young Master Wu, they seem to have been poisoned by corpses. They were fine just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, they are all lying on the ground, and the aura of death on each of them is very strong..." Master Zhou said in a panic.
I took a closer look at the workers and noticed that their hands and feet were black and purple, but the rest of their bodies were normal.
Looking at their bodies again, they gradually underwent strange changes, and some black hair began to grow.
I reckon the black soil where those two zombies were buried must have been contaminated with corpse poison, because their hands and feet would have gotten covered in that soil when they dug the grave.
The stench emanating from the black soil probably contained corpse poison, but it shouldn't be too strong, because I inhaled some of it too, but I'm perfectly fine now.
Seeing this, I quickly took out some refined glutinous rice from the Dragon Tiger Mirror and asked Master Zhou to apply the glutinous rice to their hands and feet.
As soon as the glutinous rice landed on those people, a black aura of death immediately emerged, and in the blink of an eye, the glutinous rice turned as black as charcoal.
I have never seen such a potent corpse poison. This person was infected with the corpse poison so quickly, without even being bitten or scratched by the zombies, only having been touched by some of the black soil where they were buried.
As handfuls of glutinous rice were applied to their bodies, a plume of foul-smelling black smoke rose up, providing some relief to their condition, but it wasn't very effective.
If things continue to deteriorate, all of these people will turn into zombies.
I can't just stand by and watch these people die in front of me.
At that moment, I thought of the medicine packet made from the wood of the 'Zhaoyao' tree. This stuff has miraculous effects on injury recovery, even regenerating severed limbs. It should definitely be able to cure the corpse poison without any problem.
But with so many people, it would be such a waste to use up all my medicine packets at once.
So I came up with a solution: take out a packet of medicine and have everyone drink a little to see if it works. If it doesn't, we'll have to use all of them, since I asked Boss Lin to bring these people over.
Thinking of this, I glanced at Little Fatty not far away: "Little Fatty, all your medicine packets made from the 'Zhaoyao Wood' are here with me. Is it okay if I use one packet to detoxify these people? My master and Old Tang swindled three packets from me before, so there aren't many left."
“No problem, Xiao Jie, anyway, you made it from tree leaves…” This time, the chubby guy was generous.
So I took out the medicine packet, tied a hole in it, and asked Master Zhou to help me pry open their mouths. I gave each of them two sips.
I also applied some of that medicine packet to everyone's hands and feet.
Unexpectedly, the leaves of this swaying tree really do work; they have endless uses.
Not long after being applied to the wound, the color changed from dark purple to bluish-gray, and gradually returned to its normal color.
After taking the medicine, they gradually regained their senses.
Seeing that the workers had all recovered, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just as I finished rescuing them, Little Fatty suddenly said to me, "Little Jie... I feel a little dizzy and nauseous..."
I glanced back at Little Fatty. He had just finished speaking when his body went limp and he collapsed to the ground. When I looked at his hands and feet, they had quickly turned blackish-purple.
Little Fatty not only dug up the black soil, but also had physical contact with the zombies. He was the one who tied the rope to the zombies' legs.
