Chapter 321: Chapter 321 The Corpse Becomes a Spirit

However, all he saw were mountains of corpses, one after another, surrounding something.

Looking at so many bodies, Liang Yu seemed to understand why such a large number of fungi appeared.

Liang Yu still remembered that a long time ago, his grandfather was still alive at home, and he would take care of the three loquat trees in the yard every day.

And whenever it was time for the fruit to ripen, the mischievous children in the village would enjoy knocking down the loquats, which led to many of the loquats cultivated by his grandfather falling to the ground and going to waste.

At such times, his grandfather would often collect the loquats and put them in a pile, adding some spores he got from who knows where.

After a period of time, the so-called loquat mushrooms would grow.

Liang Yu felt that since they were all fungi, the principle should be the same; his grandfather could cultivate loquat mushrooms from loquats that had fallen to the ground.

Similarly, others could also cultivate them using mountains of corpses.

In the past, this type of fungus was known as ‘human head fungus’, and because most burials were done in coffins, it was also called ‘coffin fungus’ when it grew in coffins.

However, it was said to be an extremely precious medicinal material, but from the information Liang Yu currently had, this ‘human head fungus’ was clearly not a medicinal material, and was more like some kind of medium used for control.

So Liang Yu extended his left hand, a ball of flame enveloped it, constantly changing position based on the thin plates on his palm, making it look as if Liang Yu had conjured a fireball with his bare hands from a distance.

However, he shot the fireball towards the pile of corpses, and even shouted a very ‘chuunibyou’ phrase.

“Spirit of Flame gather, fireball condense, heed my command, burn away all evil.”

However, this fireball dissipated less than two meters after flying out, which made Liang Yu feel very awkward for a moment.

After failing, his first reaction was to look around to see if anyone had witnessed his embarrassing moment.

There were many people around, but he was the only living one, which relieved him greatly.

After his little escapade, Liang Yu began to get down to business; with a wave of his hand, the rhomboid plates on his body flew out, converging in front of him to form a hollow cylinder, and each rhomboid plate was not tightly fitted together, but had gaps.

Due to his first time using it, Liang Yu was not proficient; it could have formed directly in his hand, but now he was still going through an extra step, inserting his hand into one side of the cylinder, with a two-meter-long circular tube connected to his right side.

Then, under Liang Yu’s control, the rhomboid plates on the circular tube began to rotate, and a beam of red flame erupted, crashing into the pile of corpses.

After two minutes, only one mountain of corpses was ignited; Liang Yu felt that this was too difficult, so he prepared to try another method.

As his right hand lifted towards the sky, the rhomboid plates that originally formed the cylinder surrounded Liang Yu entirely, forming the shape of a dragon’s head.

However, Liang Yu felt something was off, so he rearranged them again, and a Vermilion Bird’s outline appeared strikingly.

Only, there was still something missing at the moment, and that was the flame.

Under Liang Yu’s control, a burning Vermilion Bird hovered above his head.

As Liang Yu’s hand lowered, the Vermilion Bird also flapped its wings and flew towards the pile of corpses.

When this Vermilion Bird charged towards the mountain of corpses with raging flames, the fire instantly intensified, and the red flames spread rapidly, instantly igniting the other surrounding mountains of corpses as well.

However, after igniting the mountains of corpses, as the fire grew larger and larger, there was no movement at all from the corpse piles, which made Liang Yu feel that this was not a good sign, and he immediately recalled the plates that formed the Vermilion Bird, having them surround him.

Just then, he noticed unusual movement within the piles of corpses; he knew the big guy inside was about to emerge.

And those unburnt corpses actually began to piece themselves together, gradually forming a gigantic, humanoid monster emitting an eerie aura.

It was surrounded by a yellow mist, contending with the burning flames.

Liang Yu had never witnessed such a thing firsthand; using human corpses to form a giant humanoid, what kind of operation was this?

Liang Yu cautiously retreated a few steps, his eyes fixed on the gigantic humanoid monster.

He mused to himself that this thing would definitely not be easy to deal with, and it wasn’t as simple as it looked on the surface.

The monster seemed to sense Liang Yu’s gaze, slowly raising its massive arm and swinging it towards Liang Yu’s direction.

Liang Yu did not dodge, simply waiting for the massive fist to smash towards him.

Just before impact, the armor blocked the fist about half a meter away, and at the same time, a set of data appeared in front of Liang Yu, which was the analysis of that punch.

It didn’t seem to have anything special about it.

It was also at this moment that the human heads on the fist opened their mouths, and the yellow gas once again spewed out from them.

Liang Yu, who had been on guard, waved his arm, and a strong gust of wind dispersed the yellow gas surging towards him; this was one of the differences between the armor and the Mechanical Armor.

Often, when Mechanical Armor encountered such a situation, it could only achieve this by relying on the turbines on its back, but now, Liang Yu, relying on the amplification of the armor, could solve it with just a wave of his hand.

After dealing with the yellow gas, Liang Yu quickly pulled back, and the rhomboid plates on his body flew up again.

This time they combined to form a gigantic Light Sword, with its blade continuously burning, but unlike before, the flame this time was white; Liang Yu swung it down, cutting towards the monster.

The Light Sword struck the monster’s arm, directly severing it, and the flames attached to the blade also stained the severed limb’s wound, but the monster felt no pain, and counter-attacked Liang Yu with another strike.

This time, Liang Yu merely held the sword in front of him to block, and because he was still unfamiliar with the operation, he was sent flying backward by the blow.

However, the monster’s severed arm and that fist were both stained with white flames, and as soon as Liang Yu stood up, he saw a very logical, yet to him illogical, action.

The monster abandoned the burning corpses, letting them fall to the ground, and then it did not reallocate corpses from other parts of its body to supplement the loss; instead, it intentionally went back and attached the remaining intact corpses to its body.

It was this action that made Liang Yu understand one thing: any attack would be futile; those corpses were like modular components, and even if you destroyed them, it would at most only have a temporary impact.

To stop it, he had to shatter its core.

Having understood this point, the Light Sword in Liang Yu’s hand began to disintegrate, and soon a longbow appeared in his hand.

The moment the longbow appeared, Liang Yu replicated a classic pose, drawing a full moon bow, and as the bowstring was drawn, the rhomboid plates in his hand continuously pieced together to form an arrow.
