As such, Qin Xuan was naturally extremely cautious along the way.
Without mentioning anything else, even he would suffer a silent loss if he got infected with these Gu worms!
Therefore, Qin Xuan was extremely careful along the way.
Not only that, but to prevent other miscellaneous things from approaching him, Qin Xuan even used Spirit Fire to protect himself along the way.
Thus, even though various miscellaneous things came over from time to time, Qin Xuan was not affected in any way.
He slowly advanced, and the further he went, the more Gu worms there were in the Blood River.
He continued to advance like this, and after a while, Qin Xuan's mind tightened.
Just ahead, at the end of his sight, two Blood Corpses were guarding the Blood River, seemingly checking something.
"These two have already turned into Blood Corpses instead of skeletons, so it seems their strength should be stronger!"
Qin Xuan thought to himself.
"Should I use the Stealth Suit?"
Han Ye reminded Qin Xuan, and Little White also agreed.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Xuan also nodded, then he took out the Stealth Suit and concealed his figure.
"By the way, aren't there Corpse Puppets? I can completely use a Corpse Puppet to scout ahead, which would make it much safer."
After the skeleton ship, he had put away this Corpse Puppet, and now it was just right to take it out and use it.
Qin Xuan raised his hand and released the Corpse Puppet.
This Corpse Puppet was previously controlled by Jin Ming, but after Jin Ming was thrown onto the skeleton ship, no one controlled this Corpse Puppet anymore.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan divided a trace of Mental Energy into the Puppet, and then controlled the Puppet to advance.
He, on the other hand, slipped into the Stealth Suit, concealed his figure, and secretly followed behind the Puppet.
With this Puppet scouting ahead, he could be ready at any time if anything happened.
After advancing like this for a while, Qin Xuan followed the Puppet in front, one after the other, walking towards the Blood Corpses by the Blood River.
At this moment, by the Blood River, the two Blood Corpses were guarding there, constantly watching all the skeletons and Blood Corpses that passed by.
It looked as if they were checking something.
Watching these Blood Corpses pass by one by one without any incidents, Qin Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that it should be possible to sneak through.
After all, he had successfully snuck through using this trick when he entered the cave before.
If it hadn't been too crowded inside later, others wouldn't have discovered the problem on his side.
Unlike other Blood Corpses, these two Blood Corpses did not have any Gu worms on them; all Gu worms that fell from the Blood Corpses would immediately crawl in other directions, not daring to approach these two Blood Corpses at all.
It seems these two Blood Corpses have a method to avoid Gu worms, but he doesn't know what it is.
Qin Xuan pondered, secretly approaching.
After a while, the Corpse Puppet walked to the side of the Blood Corpses, and the two Blood Corpses looked at the Corpse Puppet.
One of the Blood Corpses stared intently at the Corpse Puppet.
Then it walked forward and stopped the Corpse Puppet.
This, there won't be a problem, right?
Qin Xuan immediately became nervous.
Normally, these Blood Corpses shouldn't be stopped.
But now, this Corpse Puppet was stopped just like that.
Something's wrong, very wrong.
"Huh?"
This Blood Corpse let out a soft "huh" and came closer to carefully examine the Corpse Puppet, seemingly wanting to make a distinction.
Hearing the Blood Corpse actually let out a soft "huh," Qin Xuan's expression changed slightly.
Not good, this Blood Corpse might be stronger than he imagined.
The previous skeletons could already speak human words; this Blood Corpse in front of him clearly had a high intelligence, which would be difficult to fool.
The Blood Corpse walked forward and began to inspect the Corpse Puppet in front of it.
After a while, the Blood Corpse looked at the other Blood Corpse and spoke human words.
"Something's not right; this doesn't seem to be something refined by us. See if that's the case!"
"Then someone wants to sneak in. No matter what this is, tie it up first and then send it to the Lord so he can have a good look."
The other Blood Corpse slightly raised its hand, and an iron chain flew out from its hand, intending to tie up the Corpse Puppet.
"Indeed, no matter what he is, capture him first and bring him to the Lord; the Lord will know at a glance. Perhaps he is a spy sent by the other two races."
"We will also have performed a great service!"
The other Blood Corpse next to it also nodded. It held a large wooden cangue in its hand, clearly intending to tie up this Corpse Puppet with shackles and chains.
Seeing that the situation had reached this point, Qin Xuan knew he could no longer wait.
This Corpse Puppet was something he had painstakingly refined; once it fell into the hands of that so-called Lord, it would be over.
If it were really taken to some Lord, not only would this Corpse Puppet not be recovered, but his own whereabouts would also be exposed.
Without further ado, Qin Xuan lunged forward, raised his hand, and slashed at the two Blood Corpses.
Light surged on the Wu Feng Sword, and moments later, the sword light severed the head of one of the Blood Corpses.
He had been hiding in the dark before, and with the Stealth Suit, these two Blood Corpses hadn't discovered him.
Plus, the Blood Corpses had focused their attention on the Corpse Puppet and hadn't paid too much attention to what was behind them.
Therefore, when Qin Xuan made this strike, the Blood Corpse had no time to react and was killed by him.
However, the other Blood Corpse next to it immediately reacted.
It swung the chain in its hand heavily towards Qin Xuan.
The chain seemed to be condensed from fresh blood, instantly chasing after Qin Xuan, trying to bind him.
It seems he still underestimated the intelligence of this Blood Corpse!
Qin Xuan didn't expect this Blood Corpse's intelligence to be higher than he thought, and its strength to be even greater.
However, for him, this kind of strength was merely average, and dealing with these Blood Corpses was simple.
Watching the surging blood-colored chain charge towards him, Qin Xuan grabbed it with a backhand.
Spirit Fire instantly followed the iron chain and burned towards the Blood Corpse.
"Not good."
Watching the Spirit Fire spread along the chain, the Blood Corpse was greatly alarmed and immediately shook violently, breaking the chain in half.
The broken half of the blood chain fell to the ground and turned into a pool of fresh blood.
"You're courting death!"
Seeing Qin Xuan actually use Spirit Fire against him.
The Blood Corpse immediately flew into a rage and waved its hand forcefully.
The water from the Blood River instantly surged over.
Under the control of this Blood Corpse, these blood-water quickly transformed into eight or nine blood-water chains, charging towards Qin Xuan from behind it.
It wanted to completely trap Qin Xuan.
At the same time, a pile of blood-water also surged towards the Blood Corpse lying on the ground, under the control of the Blood Corpse.
Then, the Blood Corpse on the ground suddenly began to move.
Its severed head turned into a pool of blood, and moments later, this pool of blood actually re-condensed into a new head, growing out from the Blood Corpse's neck.
After the head formed, this Blood Corpse immediately rose from the ground, and the surrounding excess blood-water condensed into sharp blood claws that fiercely clawed towards Qin Xuan's heart, intending to dig out his heart and lungs.
While dealing with that Blood Corpse, Qin Xuan had also been constantly observing his surroundings.
Therefore, the moment the Blood Corpse below attacked him, Qin Xuan immediately reacted and dodged the blow.
However, even so, a corner of his clothes was almost torn off.
