Chapter 7

Zhu Jiu slowly approached the strange beast, his eyes fixed on the soul fire burning fiercely in its eye sockets.

When he was about ten meters away, the mysterious, bright green skeletal beast remained motionless, with the soul fire burning even more intensely.

Zhu Jiu felt a hint of tension in his heart. As he got closer, he could more clearly sense the formidable and fierce aura of this creature. The extremely thick and bizarre skeleton seemed to be brimming with boundless power.

The skull of the beast had sharp, distinct edges, and several bone spines stood diagonally on its thick spine, turning the usually vulnerable lumbar vertebrae into a lethal weapon. The bright green bone tail swayed gently, occasionally scraping the ground, instantly creating deep grooves and making the hard ground extremely fragile.

The crimson soul fire in the skull echoed with the bright green body, exuding an extremely eerie and sinister aura, yet it was also filled with ferocity.

If this creature were to attack suddenly, he would likely die instantly.

Zhu Jiu slowly extended his left hand, which held the soul-taming green copper, and focused his mind, using the talisman in his sea of consciousness to sense the green copper in his palm.

The green copper in his palm immediately responded, flying out of his hand and floating toward the position of the strange beast.

Zhu Jiu could hear his heart pounding like a drum, and he looked at the soul-taming green copper. The small green copper block had already floated to the forehead of the strange beast, hovering in the air.

The soul fire in the skull of the beast suddenly brightened, like a flash of lightning, blinding the eyes. The soul fire instantly surged, enveloping the soul-taming green copper, and then retreated back into the skull.

Through the hollow eye sockets, Zhu Jiu could see that the soul fire enveloping the green copper burned fiercely, as if it had received the best fuel, and the rising soul flames filled the entire skull space.

The color of the soul fire became even brighter and more solid, and it gained a kind of spirituality, reaching the peak of the middle rank of zombie soldiers.

A mysterious connection also formed between Zhu Jiu and the strange beast. However, instead of feeling elated, Zhu Jiu felt a faint sense of foreboding. According to the instructions on the zombie, after absorbing the soul-taming green copper, the zombie should be clearly perceptible to the owner of the talisman, and it should obey the owner's commands without hesitation.

But when Zhu Jiu tried, he found that he could neither control the strange beast nor even clearly sense its presence. What went wrong?

Suddenly, a vast and overwhelming ferocity swept over him, as if it were the most ferocious force in the world, mixed with an indomitable will to survive or die. It struck Zhu Jiu's head, causing intense pain, and the talisman in his sea of consciousness swayed repeatedly before the ferocious consciousness gradually weakened.

Zhu Jiu was drenched in cold sweat. He looked up at the strange beast and noticed that its hollow eye sockets seemed to be staring at him. For some reason, he felt a hint of mockery in its gaze. The extremely evil consciousness he had just experienced was likely the soul form of this creature, so pure and fierce that it seemed to be the source of all evil.

The skeletal beast stood still, with the soul-taming green copper floating and sinking in the soul fire. The soul fire suddenly expanded and contracted several times, and the soul-taming green copper disappeared into the depths of the crimson soul fire, no longer visible.

After swallowing the soul-taming green copper with the soul fire, the mysterious and powerful creature turned around and walked away with a wild and steady pace, neither attacking Zhu Jiu nor becoming his zombie.

The soul-taming green copper seemed to have no effect, or perhaps it had a slight effect. At least, there was a faint connection between him and the strange beast. Perhaps it was this faint connection that made the creature choose to leave rather than attack.

Zhu Jiu stood there, watching the strange beast gradually disappear, feeling a sense of disappointment and frustration.

The soul-taming green copper did not work as expected. Was it because of his method of using the green copper, or was it because of the strange beast itself?

Zhu Jiu did not act rashly but stood there, taking out the soul-taming green copper and the instructions for subduing zombies again, carefully reading them. He found that his method was correct and matched the instructions perfectly.

So, the reason for the failure must be the uniqueness of this strange beast. Zhu Jiu's hope was rekindled. Since he had the opportunity to be reborn in this cultivation world, he should have aspirations and pursue the extraordinary. Creatures like this strange beast were exactly what he should pursue.

As he thought, Zhu Jiu suddenly had an idea. He remembered a corpse-controlling talisman from the zombie-driving technique he had learned in his previous life, which could effectively control corpses. If he used the evil spirit pen to inscribe it on the soul-taming green copper, what effect would it have?

Zhu Jiu took out a piece of unmarked soul-taming green copper and held the evil spirit pen, slowly inscribing the corpse-controlling talisman according to his memory.

He gradually entered a strange and focused state, recalling the corpse-controlling talisman he had learned in his previous life. The evil spirit pen inscribed the talisman on the small surface of the soul-taming green copper without any mistakes.

As he recalled the talisman from his previous life, the talisman in his sea of consciousness also underwent an inexplicable change.

Zhu Jiu, who was fully focused, did not notice this until he stopped writing. Suddenly, he heard a series of Buddhist chants in his mind, as if a deity were reciting scriptures in his head. The golden talisman in his sea of consciousness underwent an unknown new change.

The sudden chanting in his mind caught Zhu Jiu's attention. He focused inward and found that the originally complex talisman in his sea of consciousness now had many new, dazzling traces.

Miraculously, although these new traces were confusing, Zhu Jiu could clearly grasp the order and position of each stroke, even the distribution of light and heavy strokes. This was a new and wonderful experience for him.

He tried repeatedly, carefully observing each stroke, and found that the new changes in the talisman in his sea of consciousness were due to the automatic absorption of the corpse-controlling talisman he had just recalled, integrating the strokes of the corpse-controlling talisman into the talisman in his sea of consciousness.

The talisman in his sea of consciousness was so extraordinary, capable of autonomously absorbing beneficial knowledge and evolving to increase its power and spirituality!

Zhu Jiu then discovered with surprise that the talisman on the soul-taming green copper in his hand also changed, rearranging and recombining itself to become the same as the new talisman in his sea of consciousness. It was neither the corpse-controlling talisman nor the original talisman in his sea of consciousness, but a completely new and mysterious talisman.

At the same time, the faint connection with the strange beast suddenly became clear and distinct, indicating that the newly generated talisman in his sea of consciousness was extraordinarily powerful.

Zhu Jiu opened his slightly closed eyes. The world of zombie soldiers was full of danger. He could study the secrets of the evolved talisman later, but the immediate priority was to find his first zombie.

Following the clear and distinct connection in his soul, Zhu Jiu took a step, heading in the direction where the strange beast had disappeared, tightly holding the newly inscribed soul-taming green copper. He was going to try again.
