Zhang Yuanqing returned to the main hall, bathed in candlelight, calming the re-emergence of old pains and purifying himself.

According to the time calculation, the grudges would entangle him within one or two minutes. It was not suitable to enter the east courtyard and face the zombies.

After resting for four or five minutes, his physical condition became worse and worse. He had a headache accompanied by a slight dizziness. He knew that the corpse poison was gradually eroding his body and presenting initial symptoms.

The candlelight in the main hall seemed unable to purify the toxins in his body.

"I can't delay any longer..."

He had to take advantage of the half-hour time limit of the red dancing shoes and quickly clear the instance.

Zhang Yuanqing left the main hall, walked along the cobblestone path, and passed through the weeds to reach the courtyard.

Standing in the courtyard with undulating weeds, he opened his inventory and summoned the red dancing shoes.

Two dark red lights moved nimbly in the night, turning into a pair of brand new dancing shoes.

"Choose the second form!"

Zhang Yuanqing silently muttered.

The red dancing shoes scattered into dark red light again and wrapped around his feet.

In an instant, the running shoes under his feet turned into a pair of large red dancing shoes.

This...wasn't this cross-dressing? Fortunately, they were red dancing shoes, not high heels... Zhang Yuanqing looked at his feet uncomfortably.

He forced himself not to care about this detail, took out the corpse suppression talisman, pinched it in his hand, and passed through the arched door with the rustling sound of the banyan tree to enter the east courtyard again.

In the east courtyard, the weeds were undulating, and the bright moonlight was shining. Two large houses stood quietly, and everything was so quiet.

He carefully looked around and did not see the trace of the zombies. He cautiously passed through the courtyard and approached the large house divided into four rooms.

The room where the coffins were displayed had its wooden door knocked off. He didn't need to enter the room and just looked inside through the threshold.

Moonlight shone through the gap in the tiles, and the corpses, coffins, lifted coffin lids, and the brass pestle were all still in place without any movement.

There was no trace of the zombies in the room.

"Did it return to the coffin?"

He couldn't see the inside of the coffin from this angle.

Just as he hesitated, he suddenly found that the moonlight seemed to be dimming, and a black shadow fell from the sky, enveloping him.

Immediately afterwards, the night wind brought a strong smell of corpses and a low growl.

It...was it hiding in the tree? Zhang Yuanqing was shocked, and his heart suddenly contracted. He instinctively thought of avoiding it.

In the next moment, the red dancing shoes on his feet lit up with a dark red light. Zhang Yuanqing suddenly slipped under his feet. Before he could react, he rushed out with a slide, plowing a trace in the weeds.

Bang!

The zombie in ragged clothes missed him.

He avoided it...Zhang Yuanqing scrambled up in a fluster, pleasantly surprised, and a heart returned to his stomach.

The red dancing shoes were indeed magical. Its evasion ability was stronger than he expected. With his reaction speed, he couldn't have avoided the zombie's attack just now.

Zhang Yuanqing's confidence increased.

"Growl..."

The zombie with hair like dry grass roared, shaking his eardrums. Its protruding eyeballs were more ferocious. It bounced its knees and pounced on its prey again.

Its speed was as fast as a speeding car.Amidst the stench of blood, the terrifying evil creature was already in front of Zhang Yuanqing. His uncontrollable feet twisted like ballet, smoothly cutting out a semicircle to avoid the sharp nails, while cutting behind the zombie.

Immediately, he "naturally" made a split, his body collapsing suddenly, the wind howling above his head, his two arms sweeping across.

Rip, it hit the balls... Zhang Yuanqing's face twisted, wanting to scream in pain, but the red dancing shoes had already controlled his legs, and he jumped up.

He leaped high, his feet fiercely kicking the zombie's chest.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, the ragged and tattered clothes of the zombie splattered fine dust.

It let out an angry and unwilling roar, falling backwards from the force of the kick.

An opportunity! Seeing this scene, Zhang Yuanqing didn't care about the tearing pain in his crotch, he ran quickly, and fiercely slapped the corpse talisman in his hand towards the highly decayed and stinky face in front of him.

Slapping it on its forehead.

Snap!

The ferocious and bloodthirsty zombie was suddenly frozen, motionless.

All movement disappeared, returning to quietness.

The zombie lay stiffly in the weeds, its fierce eyes slowly dimming.

It had lost its "life force".

Looking at the zombie, now like mud, unable to show off its power, Zhang Yuanqing breathed heavily, exhaustion and joy rushing to his heart.

He survived!

"Without the help of the red dancing shoes, it would be difficult to deal with the zombies alone, and zombies are only one of the strange things. It's worthy of being an S-level Lingjing, it's too difficult."

"But the construction team has many people, and it shouldn't be a problem to deal with the zombies. A group of big men, how could they be so weak..."

Zhang Yuanqing suddenly sighed, he knew the reason.

The corpse talisman was found in the pocket of the corpse under the window. The senior had obtained this item, but he didn't tell his companions, instead he kept it hidden.

The human heart is more complicated and terrifying than ghosts and monsters.

After dealing with the zombie, the next step was to find that shameless female ghost in the well.

But before that, there was something that Zhang Yuanqing cared about very much.

He left the zombie behind and walked towards the room with the displayed coffins. Stepping over the threshold, the moonlight shone through the dark room.

He stopped in front of the corpse, and picked up the copper cone.

Although it was clearly made of copper, it felt icy in his hand, but also warm like jade.

Immediately, an information appeared in his vision.

【Name: Fumo Pestle】

【Type: Weapon】

【Function: Purification, Spirit Control, Demon Breaking】

【Introduction: A weapon containing the power of the sun god, it is the nemesis of all evil creatures. Sacrifice blood to this pestle and you will obtain the power of the sun god.】

【Note: Is it powerful? It comes at the cost of your life.】

It was indeed an item. Judging from its functions, it seemed to be stronger than the candles in the main hall. The senior of the construction team should have wanted to use it to kill the zombie, but he failed. They had already lost too many people before dealing with the zombies... Zhang Yuanqing was fortunate that he made the right judgement.

He cleverly used the red dancing shoes to overcome the difficulties.

Of course, the senior members of the construction team had no choice. They couldn't control this rule-based item, and the vast majority of them died under the trampling of the red dancing shoes.

"With this item that is specialized in dealing with evil creatures, and paired with the red dancing shoes, my chances of completing the trial mission will greatly increase."With the Demon-Suppressing Staff in his hand, he felt a strong sense of confidence. Taking advantage of the five minutes left, he left the room and returned to the courtyard.

This time, he went straight to the ancient well for a final investigation.

The well was deep and dark, and a damp, decaying smell rose up.

"Let's take a look..." Zhang Yuanqing gripped the Demon-Suppressing Staff and assumed a defensive posture. He lifted one foot and stepped on the edge of the well, then descended into the well as if walking on level ground.

Before, he would never have dared to explore down there. Not to mention the danger at the bottom of the well, jumping down without ropes or help would mean certain death.

Soon, he arrived at the shallow bottom of the well, where the moonlight was already very dim.

The water in the well had long since dried up, and black mud had accumulated at the bottom. Clumps of weeds grew on the edge, and the well walls were covered in deep green moss.

"There are no ghosts in the well..."

Zhang Yuanqing frowned. This wasn't right. He clearly saw a faceless female ghost poking her head out of the well.

He checked the bottom of the well repeatedly. Because the time he could wear the red dancing shoes was limited, he could only reluctantly step on the steep well wall and return to the surface, quickly running back to the eaves of the main hall.

Only then did he finally take off the red dancing shoes with relief.

......

The main hall was bathed in dim candlelight. Zhang Yuanqing leaned weakly against the offering table, the corpse poison deepening its invasion of his body. After dizziness, he began to experience difficulty breathing and pain in his heart and lungs.

Time was running out.

"I've explored both backyards and successfully subdued the zombies. The mission is not over yet, which means there must be some place I haven't explored yet..."

He had explored every room in the backyard, even going down to the bottom of the well. There couldn't be any mistakes.

So, where could it be?

When all possibilities were ruled out, the only thing left, no matter how unbelievable, must be the truth... he muttered to himself and slowly propped himself up.

The place he hadn't "explored" was here, the main hall in front of him.

Zhang Yuanqing's gaze slowly swept over the main hall, finally stopping on the clay statue of the Three Mountain Goddess. When he first entered the main hall, a detail on the clay statue caught his attention.

The right hand of the clay statue was empty, but it was in a grip as if holding something.

He didn't know what she was holding before, but he knew now.

It was the Demon-Suppressing Staff.

With a "why not try" mentality, Zhang Yuanqing approached and inserted the shiny Demon-Suppressing Staff into the palm of the clay statue, then jumped off the pedestal and took a few steps back.

Almost at the moment he stepped back, the surface of the pedestal cracked with a "crack," and a dense cloud of dust rose from the cracks. Then the entire pedestal collapsed, revealing a dark underground chamber.
