Salted Fish Zombie

Chapter 72.1

At three in the night, all the doors of the Flower God's temple were tightly locked.

There were no worshippers outside, and few people in white robes inside.

A few players cautiously made their way to the second floor in the dark of night, but the heavy iron door on the second floor was bound with several layers of iron chains and locks.

Most players had exhausted themselves during the torture of the sacred flowers, and this black door seemed beyond their capabilities.

As Ning Su was about to approach, Ning Changfeng took a step ahead, his face cold as he forcefully snapped the iron chains.

Players broke out in a cold sweat, clearly sensing the gap between them and Ning Changfeng.

The dark iron chains were as thick as a child's wrist, and at this point, they could hardly lift their arms. Yet, Ning Changfeng managed to break them.

Ning Changfeng pushed open the door, signaling for them to enter.

The second floor was even larger than the third floor, with a massive pool occupying 90% of the space. The pool, standing over a meter high, was filled with foul black marsh, and the air carried the familiar stench that players associated with decay.

This was Fang Qi's first time seeing the black muck. "Is this the Dark Swamp of the Land of the God's Birth?"

Without wasting time, Su Wangsheng removed his coat and asked, "When we went to the main hall, you mentioned the Land of the God's Birth, right? Why did you bring this up?"

Fang Qi also removed his outer robe. "I've heard about the Land of the God's Birth several times from the Holy Maiden and a few patriarchs in the Flower God's temple, but I've never been there. I guessed you've been there, so I mentioned this crucial clue that I didn't quite understand when you were looking at me."

Jia Chensheng remained silent; he might have already known the secret of the Land of the God's Birth.

The pool was large, and all nine players were exhausted, but none of them refused the task. They spread out in different directions within the pool, reaching their arms into the putrid mud, inch by inch, to search for the body of An Xiang.

Whether they genuinely wanted to help the two unfortunate girls or hoped to find clues on her body, they all diligently searched through the foul, disgusting corpse mud.

Ning Su noticed that Ning Changfeng would occasionally look in his direction.

He was about to ask him when he suddenly heard Fang Qi shout, "It seems like I've found something!"

The pool was indeed quite large, but it couldn't be compared to the original Dark Swamp. With nine people searching in nine different positions for one person, they quickly made a discovery.

Fang Qi extended his hands into the mud, and after about ten seconds, he lifted a body wrapped in decayed mud.

On the other side, Dong Xilai also held a rotting corpse.

Ning Su emerged from the pool, went to Fang Qi's side, and took the body he had found. Leng Chang accepted the corpse that Dong Xilai had found.

Players continued to find severed limbs and body parts, which they placed to one side.

"The one with more severe decomposition should be the flower attendant who died in the morning or two days ago, brought here by the people in white robe from the third floor."

"Well, An Xiang died tonight; let's examine the most intact corpse first."

They wiped off the decayed mud from the faces, and indeed, the most intact one was the body of An Xiang.
