Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1340: The Three-Eyed Corpse

The superhuman adept at handling poisons offered, "Deadly toxins can eradicate microorganisms clinging to corpses, thereby ensuring long-term preservation and preventing decay."

Meanwhile, on the Pagyi Family's end, someone had also retrieved a corpse from the water.

Zhang Yi and his companions drew nearer to investigate.

The dead body indeed presented an unusual appearance.

Its attire was thoroughly saturated with a crimson hue, its facial features were indistinguishable, but its stature was considerably more imposing than that of an average individual, measuring approximately two and a half to two and three-quarters meters tall.

Most striking was an intricately carved eye symbol adorning its forehead.

At first glance, one might mistake it for a third eye.

Deji inhaled sharply and immediately declared to the assembled group, "This is a Demonic Person from the Demon Kingdom! Ancient records state that Demonic People are exceptionally tall, with the largest reaching over two zhang in height! Furthermore, they venerate the demonic eye; every Demonic Person bears a demonic eye emblem etched between their brows!"

"Discovering a Demonic Person's corpse here confirms they have not been annihilated and continue to exist and propagate. We have arrived at the correct location!"

Even though it was merely a corpse, its presence served as irrefutable proof that their adversaries resided on the opposite side of this formidable sea!

Yang Xinxin observed, "Such an immense Sea of Blood was actually formed from countless corpses."

Recalling the mountain of bleached bones they had previously witnessed, Liang Yue couldn't help but remark, "A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood."

Zhang Yi's gaze swept coldly across the surrounding panorama. The Sea of Blood flowed lethargically, its surface undulating gently, creating an atmosphere of profound stillness and death.

"The Mountain of Bones functions as an esoteric sect's seal, intended to impede the Demonic People. Consequently, this Sea of Blood likely serves as the Demon Kingdom's seal, designed to obstruct King Gesar's army."

In the conflict of yesteryear, both factions had engaged in a brutal struggle, pushing each other to the brink before opting for a strategic withdrawal.

King Gesar emerged victorious, albeit through a grueling campaign, which motivated his decision to perpetuate this conflict for future generations.

"If the Lord of the Charnel Ground is indeed the reincarnation across the ages, then the Lord of the Charnel Ground," his gaze shifted towards the distant kayak bearing the Lord of the Charnel Ground, "has he come to personally resolve the unresolved conflict from a millennium ago, after the passage of a thousand years?"

Just as Zhang Yi found himself lost in contemplation, the danger precognition ability of All Things Follow Traces abruptly alerted him to an impending anomaly.

Without a word, he swiftly pulled Chodak and Fatty Xu, who were standing closest, away from the immediate vicinity.

Simultaneously, the corpse resting on the kayak's surface abruptly opened its eyes!

The kayak was diminutive, and several soldiers were positioned nearby, examining the corpse.

Suddenly, the corpse forcefully sat upright and expelled a beam of black light from its mouth directly at the Private Soldier positioned in front of it.

"Pfft!"

The soldier's chest was instantly impaled, leaving a gaping wound that passed clean through from front to back.

He cried out in excruciating pain; his vital heart had been consumed.

That dark projectile flashed and disappeared into the depths of the Sea of Blood.

The other corpses that had been brought aboard exhibited similar behavior; they all unleashed attacks upon the unsuspecting soldiers in their immediate surroundings.

This sudden onslaught was entirely unexpected. Even with powerful superhumans present, no one had foreseen the corpses submerged in the Sea of Blood suddenly animating and initiating an assault.

In the ensuing chaos, more than a dozen soldiers met their demise.

Such a violent turn of events immediately placed everyone on high alert.

"What was that attack just now?"

"I don't know, it moved too quickly, eliminating over a dozen individuals in mere moments!"

Deji, his expression grim, issued a command, "Quickly, cast the corpses back into the water! Maintain vigilance!"

In Zhang Yi's grasp, the ebony Adamantium longsword was held with a firm grip; he was prepared to strike at the slightest sign of any disturbance.

The soldiers hastily jettisoned the corpses overboard while drawing their weapons, bracing themselves to confront the spectral entities lurking within the Sea of Blood.

"Hehehehe~"

"Hahahaha~"

Peals of laughter echoed across the expanse of the Sea of Blood, akin to the chilling cries of spectral beings, sending shivers down the spine.

The previously placid Sea of Blood abruptly began to churn, its surface erupting into violent waves that surged toward the fleet.

These kayaks, being small in size, were ill-equipped to withstand such formidable swells.

Should they capsize, the majority of the individuals present would face grave peril.

On the Lhamin family's side, a mercenary stepped forward, pressing his thumbs and index fingers together to form a heart shape, directing this gesture towards the advancing blood waves.

"Calm the Wind and Waves!"

Under his invocation, the Sea of Blood directly ahead also swirled, a colossal wave rising and rolling upwards, colliding with the oncoming torrent from the opposing side.

"Boom!!"

"Splash splash splash!"

The clash of the two tidal forces nullified each other, preserving the fleet's formation from collapse.

However, as the tumultuous waves receded, a horrifying sight emerged from the Sea of Blood: one by one, blood-red corpses began to appear!

These figures were shrouded in multiple layers of crimson burlap, with disturbing demonic eyes crudely carved onto their heads.

It was likely the burlap was not inherently red, but had absorbed the pervasive filth from the Sea of Blood over an immeasurable period.

"Hahahaha~"

A chilling laughter echoed, seemingly originating from these grotesque bodies. Before anyone could grasp the situation, the entire Sea of Blood became a macabre spectacle, dotted with corpses everywhere.

From every conceivable direction, the sinister laughter of the corpses filled the air!

Even the most resolute warriors felt a tremor of fear, their faces paling at the profoundly bizarre and unsettling scene.

"Hahahaha!"

The disembodied laughter grew progressively nearer. An ever-increasing number of corpses surged forth from the depths of the Sea of Blood, rapidly overwhelming the fleet and sealing off any potential escape routes.

Within the confines of the Shadow Space, Zhou Ke'er and the others observed this terrifying tableau, their throats tightening as they desperately tried to avert their gaze.

"Just a cheap trick."

Zhang Yi scoffed with utter disdain.

Such phantoms might instill terror in the common folk, but how could they possibly daunt someone like him?

By this point, he had lost all count of the lives he had extinguished, his very essence radiating a potent, bloodthirsty aura.

Even spectral entities would likely tremble before him, far from being able to instill fear in his heart.

More importantly, his unwavering confidence in his own formidable strength was absolute!

"Though I know not what these abominations are, their destruction is paramount!"

Zhang Yi raised the obsidian longsword held in his grasp and executed a fluid, forward sweep.

A torrent of Black Void Power, akin to licking flames, surged forth, rapidly consuming the expanse of the Sea of Blood before him!

"Whoosh—"

In a vast, fanning arc originating from Zhang Yi, every single blood-red corpse met instant obliteration. The Void Power disintegrated them completely, leaving not even a wisp of residue.

Witnessing this display, the apprehension among the others began to noticeably recede.

As long as these entities could be eradicated, they were not some insidious, insurmountable evil!

"Attack! Annihilate them! It's some kind of trickery!"

Deji bellowed, his voice ringing with command.

The superhumans present, jolted back to reality, immediately drew their weapons and commenced their assault on the encroaching corpses.

"Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!"

Precisely at that critical juncture, black, darting projectiles suddenly erupted from the ranks of the corpses, hurtling towards the individuals aboard the vessels.

Having been caught unaware moments before, the attackers had gained an advantage; this time, however, everyone was on high alert, and the nature of these projectiles became instantly clear.

They were blood-red worms, unnaturally slender throughout their bodies, possessing heads as sharp and piercing as awls.

It was these sinister creatures that orchestrated the corpses' advance, utilizing them as a deceptive screen to launch their covert attacks on the humans.
