Gulu!
His empty stomach screamed uncomfortably again. Niu Yao picked up a handful of hay from the ground beside him, put it into his mouth and chewed it for a while, then stretched his neck and swallowed hard, making his throat sore.
"Why--"
"In the end, there is no difference between this man and a ghost. He was hungry when he was a human, and he has to starve when he is a ghost. It's so fucking fucked!"
Niu Yao looked at the gray sky and cursed.
His physical appearance has changed a lot compared to when Zhang Xiaozu saw him. His flesh and blood are no longer so stiff, and his eyes are no longer empty and lifeless. If it weren't for the gloomy ghostly energy exuding from his body, he would be almost the same as a living person. .
The reason why he agreed with Zhang Xiaozhu to meet again in five years was actually for no special reason. He just wanted to live better in the underworld, and then meet Niu Dawa and Zhang Xiaozhu again, so that the two brothers could live peacefully in the earth. Don't worry about him.
So he has been working hard all these years.
He is not afraid of hardship, tiredness, or death, and he is very brave. In addition, he has good qualifications and the potential for cultivation, so he is highly appreciated and reused by Yama Taiwu.
If Hades hadn't captured the Incheon underworld, he would most likely have had an unpredictable position this year.
Then he will wake up laughing in his dreams.
Because Impermanence can go to the underworld to capture the soul, then he can go to the underworld to visit Niu Dawa and Zhang Xiaozu openly.
Unfortunately, when he was striving for success, misfortune befell him again.
The Incheon Underworld was breached and Taiwu died in battle. Although he survived by chance and escaped from Incheon City with Emperor Luo Yao, he was chased and intercepted by Emperor Yan's soldiers and horses all day long. He was as panic-stricken as a bereaved dog. All his previous efforts and hopes for a better future All his expectations came to nothing, making him feel desperate.
The only good thing is that he is still alive.
As the saying goes: As long as there is life, there is hope.
But he couldn't see any hope.
They have been trapped in this ghost place, which is more like the underworld than the underworld, for a year.
This year, they had a miserable time.
Materials were extremely scarce in this ghost place, and it was very difficult to find something to eat. They were starving, so they could only eat some grass roots and bark to satisfy their hunger like he just did.
The grass is dead grass, and the bark is also dead bark, which can sting your mouth and strain your throat.
It's not that they don't want to find fresh ones, but they don't know what happened in this ghost place. All the vegetation is dead.
But what's more terrifying than hunger is that they haven't been able to find a way out, and they feel like they're going to be trapped alive in this ghostly place full of deathly silence.
However, maybe you don’t have to wait that long.
He might die tomorrow.
Niu Yao looked back at an ancient city behind him, with a look of fear on his face.
When they first came to this place, they were in a thick fog. It took them half a year to get out of the thick fog and arrive in front of this ancient city.
I thought I had finally found a good place to stay, but found that it turned out to be a dead city.
A dead city that is haunted at night.
On the first night they slept in the city, more than a hundred of their soldiers died. All of them were drained of essence and blood by evil spirits and turned into skinny mummies, but they could not find any trace of the perpetrators.
The next night, they stepped up security.
As a result, more than a hundred soldiers died.
On the night of the third day, Emperor Luo Yao kept vigil in person.
As a result, Emperor Luo Yao was seriously injured.
They were so frightened that they fled from the city.
It sounds funny that a ghost is scared by a ghost, but it is true.
Three months ago, Emperor Luo Yao discovered an underground palace in the city. He guessed that the secret of the dead city was probably hidden inside, so he had been exploring the underground palace for the past three months, and finally found the evil ghost's lair.
Emperor Luo Yao led them to fight several fierce battles with evil spirits. As a result, two of the three Yamas were killed in the battle, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties.
There were more than 10,000 warriors when they came to the dead city, but now there are less than 2,000 left.
Niu Yao's ability to survive to this day is not because he has superior combat power and has survived fierce battles, but because he has never fought on the battlefield.
Emperor Luo Yao was deeply sorry for Taiwu's death in battle, so he took good care of their remaining more than 500 black-armored cavalry and never sent them to the battlefield. However, they now have less than 2,000 people left. If they continue to fight , it must be their turn.
So Niu Yao felt that his death was coming.
Niu Yao grabbed a handful of dead grass, crushed it in his rough palms, put it into the pot of the pipe, lit a flame with his fingertips, lit the pot, and took a deep puff.
It chokes my throat and is extremely difficult to smoke.
But it can relieve some of the addiction and make you feel comfortable.
"It would be great if I could see the big boy and the little pawn before I die."
"I don't know if the scene I dreamed about that day was real or fake. Can these two brats find such a beautiful woman?"
While puffing away the mist, Niu Yao looked at the gray sky with blurred eyes and murmured to himself.
A few mornings ago, while he was half asleep and half awake, he saw the figures of Niu Dawa and Zhang Xiaozu appearing in front of him. He saw a beautiful girl standing next to them, acting intimately, as if she was their daughter-in-law.
In a daze, he called Niu Dawa and Zhang Xiaozu many times, but he only saw their mouths moving, as if they were saying something to him, but unfortunately he didn't hear a word clearly.
When he woke up from his half-asleep state, the figures of Niu Dawa and Zhang Xiaozu disappeared into the gray sky.
He counted the time with his fingers and couldn't help but feel very sad, because if everything was fine, he would have met Niu Dawa and Zhang Xiaozhu in the restaurant of Nanchuan Hell.
"Commander Niu, something happened!"
An urgent shout came from the direction of the Dead City.
The caller's name is Sero, and he is Niu Yao's adjutant.
"What's wrong?" Niu Yao turned around and asked.
"The emperor is trapped in the underground palace by evil spirits. The situation is very dangerous. Dia Yama will lead us to rescue him. Will our black armored cavalry go?" Cero replied breathlessly.
When Niu Yao heard this, he stood up suddenly and said with raised eyebrows: "Go, of course! The black-armored cavalry are not afraid of death, and they must not embarrass Lord Taiwu!"
In just half a cup of tea, the black-armored cavalry was fully equipped and ran towards the open gate of the Dead City at Niu Yao's order.
Although they lost their mounts, they still ran with great momentum, not losing the majesty of the cavalry.
"Taiwu's soldiers are fierce!"
"Why--"
Yama Luo Diya was flying in the air, feeling the momentum of more than five hundred black-armored cavalry, thinking of the dead Taiwu, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
Taiwu was the most prestigious one among their ten palaces of Yama, and they were all convinced.
In the prefecture of Incheon, Emperor Luo Yao was the first in prestige, and Taiwu was the second.
Under the leadership of Dia, the remaining more than 1,300 soldiers rushed into the underground palace.
Then everyone, including Tia, looked at the looming halls in the darkness ahead, and suddenly discovered something terrible. They were very unfamiliar with the terrain distribution of the underground palace, and they didn't know where Emperor Luo Yao was trapped. In a large hall.
So when they stopped in front of the fork in the road, Tia was embarrassed and didn't know which way to go.
Tia has been recovering from his injuries during this period, and Emperor Luo Yao has never allowed him to participate in the battle.
Niu Yao and other more than 1,300 soldiers have never participated in the underground palace battle. To be more precise, they have never been to the underground palace.
"Where are the soldiers who sent the message to me earlier? Where is the Emperor trapped?" Tia could only ask the soldier who had escaped from the underground palace.
Then he didn't see the soldier responding for a long time after he finished speaking.
He frowned displeased, and scanned the military formation with his consciousness, and found that the soldier was not in the military formation, and immediately cursed: "Damn deserter!"
