Chapter 496: Even though he hid it so deeply, he was discovered. This guy has sharp eyes.
Ye Bai's eyelids twitched, and he sensed the source of the cold and gloomy aura - there was something inside the coffin!
He quickly retreated away from the Kumantong's coffin.
Yang Mi and the fat man were so scared that they stepped back.
"Ouch..."
Those eerie and terrifying ghosts attacked again.
However, Ye Bai relied on his strong strength and superb skills to kill it.
"Mr. Ye, what should we do? Should we open the coffin?" asked the fat man.
"You can't fight." Ye Bai said with a serious face.
"Why?" Yang Mi asked curiously.
"Because... the thing in this coffin is no longer an ordinary zombie, but a Kumantong!" Ye Bai said solemnly.
"Kumantong?" Yang Mi was stunned.
She had never heard of such a thing.
"This is a legendary zombie. It looks similar to humans, and even thinks the same way as humans, but its IQ is low, and it can only act on instinct. However, the Kumantong's combat power is extraordinary. Even warriors would be wary of it."
Ye Bai explained a few words to make the two understand how terrifying the zombie inside the coffin was.
This legendary zombie is definitely a terrifying existence.
"What should we do now? We can't just sit back and do nothing, right?" the fat man asked worriedly.
“Haha, this is easy.”
Ye Bai snorted coldly and pulled out the peach wood sword on his back.
Then, he suddenly raised the peach wood sword and slashed at the coffin!
"Crack!"
He easily cut through the solid and heavy sarcophagus.
The coffin lid flew up and fell to the ground.
A chilling aura filled the air.
The person lying in the coffin was the Kumantong.
However, at this time, the Kumantong's body had completely rotted away, with maggots all over its body, emitting a pungent stench.
Its head was tilted and its mouth was half open, as if it was in a deep sleep.
Ye Bai used his mobile phone to illuminate the scene in the coffin and raised his eyebrows.
He saw the clue.
Although this Kumantong has completely lost its consciousness and turned into a corpse, its body still retains a faint breath of life.
"The lifespan of a Kumantong is closely related to the essence and blood of its host."
After observing carefully, Ye Bai came to this conclusion.
"Although the Kumantong's body is completely destroyed, its essence and blood remain. By simply sucking its blood, one can obtain the life force contained within its body and provide it to the host, thereby increasing the host's lifespan."
"So that's it! No wonder I felt such a terrifying yin energy just now. Could that be the vitality of the Kumantong?" The fat man suddenly realized.
"Mr. Ye, how do we kill this thing?" asked the fat man.
"Of course, burn it with fire!" As Ye Bai spoke, he had already lit the fuse and threw it at the Kumantong.
"Zi la——!"
The blue flames instantly enveloped the entire coffin and burned violently.
These flames, with their scorching heat, burned the body of the Kumantong in the coffin.
Soon, the Kumantong let out a sharp and piercing cry.
But the sound soon stopped.
Then, the flames went out, and a round, gray-brown bead appeared in everyone's eyes.
This bead is only the size of a soybean, dark red in color, and looks a bit creepy.
Yang Mi and Fatty exclaimed at the same time: "Is this the core of the Kumantong?"
"good."
Ye Bai nodded and said, "This Kumantong core is formed by the gathering of resentment and possesses extremely strong life force. If you refine it, you can gain a longer life."
Yang Mi's eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "This thing is very important to me, can I take it?"
Ye Bai thought for a moment and said, "Since you saw it first, it's yours. But let me be frank, this Kumantong core is very valuable. You'd better not pay attention to it, otherwise I will not forgive you."
"Hehe, don't worry, I promise not to pay attention to this thing!" Yang Mi replied repeatedly.
Ye Bai added, "I suggest you find a quiet place and slowly study this Kumantong Core. I'm leaving now. I wish you good luck."
After saying that, Ye Bai turned around and was about to leave.
"Mr. Ye, don't go. How about we make a deal?" Yang Mi immediately chased after him and stopped him, saying with a smile.
"What deal?" Ye Bai stopped.
Yang Mi came closer and whispered, "Mr. Ye, I am willing to buy this Kumantong core with money."
"Oh?" Ye Bai glanced at her in surprise, then shook his head and refused: "Sorry, not for sale."
"why?"
Yang Mi asked anxiously: "Do you know the value of this thing?"
Ye Bai spread his hands, shrugged, and said, "I understand what you're saying. This thing is indeed very valuable, but I really don't need money."
Hearing this, Yang Mi was immediately helpless.
"Mr. Ye, I know you are definitely not short of money. But you should also understand that money is external to the body, and power is the foundation. As long as you are willing to give it to me, I can agree to any conditions you have." Yang Mi said confidently.
Ye Bai shook his head and said, "I have no shortage of money. Besides..."
"And what?" Yang Mi asked.
"nothing."
Ye Bai walked around her and said lightly, then left.
Yang Mi stood there, stunned for a long time.
Seeing this, the fat man quickly comforted her, "Sister Mi, don't mind it. Brother Ye has a rather reserved personality. But don't worry, although Brother Ye has a bit of an odd temper, he's a very reliable person."
Upon hearing this, Ye Bai couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Yang Mi nodded, not quite understanding.
Just then, a gust of cold wind blew by, causing Yang Mi to shiver.
"Damn, it's cold!"
The fat man wrapped his clothes tightly and shrank into the corner.
Yang Mi was also trembling and didn't dare to run around.
"It's too cold today. People will freeze to death sooner or later. Let's get out of this damn place quickly."
Yang Mi said, rubbing her arms.
"Okay, let's go." said the fat man.
The two men prepared to carry the Kumantong's coffin away.
"hiss--!"
Suddenly, a sound of breaking air was heard, which made the fat man's face change drastically.
He dodged quickly.
"call out!"
The sharp arrow grazed his arm and lodged in the ground, making a hole in the soil.
"Who! Who is hiding in the dark and playing tricks!" the fat man shouted angrily.
Ye Bai frowned and looked towards the source of the sound with a cold gaze.
She was an old woman in a black robe, with a hunched back, leaning on a cane, and her face was full of wrinkles.
At this moment, her turbid eyes stared at Ye Bai, revealing a hint of ferocity.
"Little guy, you are quite interesting. How dare you trespass into the restricted area?"
Her voice was hoarse and desolate and ancient, like an ancient old man who had experienced thousands of years and was full of the vicissitudes of life.
"Restricted area?" Ye Bai sneered: "I think this is a cemetery?"
The old woman laughed and said, "Little guy, you are very brave."
