Chapter 99 Secret Realm News
Just when he was frightened into a daze, a strong wind blew past his ears, and then he saw a golden light nailed to the ghoul's forehead. The monster's neck suddenly tilted back, and a crisp snapping sound was heard from its neck. Then the hand holding the spear lost its strength and fell backwards.
"Stab their heads, necks, and hearts." Song Xin's voice came from behind. Xiao Bing finally recovered from his fright and turned around to see Song Xin looking at him. Then, he raised his hand again and shot an arrow through the head of another ghoul.
The pawn nodded, and when he turned to the ghoul again, the fear was no longer in his eyes. Because there was Song Xin behind him.
"Ah! Kill!" the soldier shouted angrily, picked up a spear from the ground, and stabbed the chest of another ghoul outside the fence...
Under the dark night sky, there were shouts of death, screams, and low roars. Song Xin and the others had run out of arrows, and he had to start using sharp golden seals to resist. After the golden light flashed from time to time, a ghoul would always fall dead.
"No, get back quickly!!!"
Zhou Zhong suddenly shouted, and he saw that a fence was crumbling and leaning inward.
Before he finished speaking, there was a loud noise, and a fence collapsed. Ghouls rushed to the gap one after another. The collapsed fence was like a domino, and other fences were also crumbling.
The two soldiers failed to retreat in time and were pinned under the fence. The ghouls poured in from the collapsed fence like a bursting flood. They pounced on the soldiers who had not had time to escape, biting and pulling. All life disappeared in an instant.
Suddenly, a white shadow flashed across the gap, and a large halberd swept across the gap. More than a dozen ghouls were cut into two pieces, actually blocking the momentum of the ghoul's attack.
Song Xin quickly counted the number of people and found that there were only more than sixty people left. If the ghoul rushed in front of them, the whole army would be wiped out in an instant. He ordered in a deep voice, "Midweek, retreat and form a formation!" The soldiers retreated and formed a three-layered circular formation for defense. The current situation was no longer something they could handle.
At this time, there was a roar, and the fence collapsed, and the ghouls rushed towards Song Xin like a tide.
Song Xin dodged and rushed in front of the soldiers. He grabbed the Fuxi sword with his right hand and unsheathed it. A sweeping move followed by an invisible gust of wind.
In everyone's surprised eyes, dozens of ghouls suddenly stopped, and then the upper half of their heads slowly slid off, and everyone was stunned with a thud as they landed on the ground.
"Can you kill so many monsters with just one swing?" The soldiers were shocked.
"Master Song is actually so powerful?"
While they were in a daze, they saw Song Xin popping out two talismans with one hand and exploding at the collapse of the formation fence, instantly forming a cloud of water mist. Song Xin's long sword instantly spurted out a bolt of lightning and rushed into the mist. In the blink of an eye, the water mist turned into a thundercloud.
"Go!" Song Xin shouted. In an instant, these ice crystals were accelerated to twice the speed of sound and rushed towards the group of ghouls. Amidst the crackling sonic booms, screams one after another resounded through the night sky.
Song Xin controlled the ice crystal fan to shoot at the ghouls, making the soldiers look dumbfounded.
In less than ten snaps of the fingers, the ice crystals were exhausted, and wherever he could see, the bodies of the ghouls were beaten to pieces.
Zhou Zhong was secretly shocked. No matter how stupid he was, he could still see that this was a spell, a legendary spell! It turns out that Master Song knows magic!
The few remaining ghouls who could move were frightened to death. Their bodies were sore and numb with electric arcs that they could not move. They were immediately nailed to the ground by Song Yu's iron nails.
"All, all dead...?"
Zhou Zhong and others looked at each other. The ghoul they had fought so hard to kill was destroyed by Song Xin with just a raise of his hand.
A burst of joy suddenly burst out on his face, and he raised his arms excitedly and shouted: "Master Song is mighty!"
The remaining soldiers were immediately infected by the excitement, raised their swords and spears and shouted loudly.
Song Xin looked at them, raised his hand to signal them to be quiet, and then said calmly: "Cut off the ears and take them back to receive the reward."
This move made the soldiers even more impressed. Master Song not only helped them kill the monsters and saved everyone, but was also willing to give them all the credit. Midweek shouted:
"Not only did you save our lives, but you also gave me the credit. Zhou Zhong is willing to follow you to the death to repay this kindness!"
The soldiers all knelt down and kowtowed to Song Xin, "I am willing to follow you to the death!"
At this time, those Di soldiers who surrendered were truly convinced and convinced from the bottom of their hearts. When they return home, they will also tell their colleagues about these things.
When Song Xin saw this scene, he felt satisfied. To conquer these surrendered soldiers and generals, he not only had to give them benefits, but also established authority. Now that he had killed so many ghouls in a snap, it was enough to shock these people.
Thinking of this, he smiled slightly and said: "When you go back, just say that you fought desperately to kill these monsters, and then take the ears to receive the reward."
Song Yu also laughed, "Why are you still kneeling? Why don't you cut off your ears? If a wild wolf picks them up, what will you exchange for wine?"
Everyone then laughed and stood up to collect the ghoul's ears.
An hour later, Song Xin led the crowd back to the camp...
"What, all the elephants were wiped out?"
In the base camp of Cao's army, Zhang Liao heard Song Xin's military report. In addition, Song Xin came back and explained the situation in detail, and everyone's expressions changed drastically. A gust of cold wind rushed into the tent with a chill, blowing up a cloud of ashes from the charcoal fire inside, and the two of them suddenly felt a chill.
"You said monsters killed them?" Zhang He still didn't believe it.
Song Xin asked Zhong Zhou and the others to bring in several corpses of ghouls and throw them on the ground.
Zhang Liao and the generals in the tent looked at the strange corpse that looked like a human but not a human, and looked like a beast but not a beast, but they didn't know what it was. "Is this this kind of thing? Why does it look like a skinned person?" A general next to him asked curiously.
Song Xin replied calmly: "They were originally human beings, but they became like this because they had been eating carrion corpses all year round and their bodies were poisoned by the poison in the carrion corpses."
Zhang He was shocked: "You said these monsters were originally humans?"
"Well, they must have become like this because they were extremely hungry and fed on dead bodies." Song Xin replied calmly. He put a lot of thought into organizing this speech, not only to make them understand it, but also to make them believe it. You can't say that they are like this because of viruses. People in this era don't even have basic knowledge of microorganisms.
Zhang Liao was silent for a long time, stared at the corpse of the ghoul for a while, and then murmured with lingering fear:
"It turns out that if you eat too many people, you will turn into a monster... When I and Lu Bu attacked Juancheng, I heard that people there were killed to satisfy their hunger due to lack of food..." Thinking of this, Zhang Liao felt a chill on his back.
After a long time, he finally convinced himself to believe Song Xin's report. He turned to look at Zhang He who looked surprised, "General Zhang, I think it's better to break camp immediately and clear the road to Jiagu first before making any plans?"
Zhang He nodded. Although the monster thing shocked him, it was incomparable to the military situation in front of him. "Wen Yuan is absolutely right. The former army Niu Gai came to report that he encountered desperate resistance from the enemy. If we don't go to respond, , I’m afraid he’ll make a mistake.”
Zhang Liao took out a bamboo slip and said, "Well, I also received a military report. Yu Jin fell into Mei Cheng's fake surrender plan and let him escape to Qianshan. The prime minister also sent someone to send a message, asking us to join forces as soon as possible to lay siege. Qianshan."
The two discussed for a while and ordered the army to break camp and set off. At the same time, he ordered that even if the army is short of food in the future, it will never feed on humans. All comrades who died in battle must be burned on the spot.
They passed through Jiagu without encountering any resistance, and when they arrived at the Barbarian Elephant Camp, Zhang Liao saw the miserable situation inside. Finally, he shook his head helplessly, and had people bury the bodies and kill them as sacrifices before giving the order to continue setting off.
While Zhang Liao was offering sacrifices, he found a mountain col with deep dense forest, dozens of miles away from the Manxiang military camp.
A huge manor is hidden in the dark night. The outer walls of the manor are covered with faint green vines. There is no light in the huge manor. It has been abandoned for a long time and is lifeless.
Liu Jing stood outside the manor, looking up at the mottled door. After a moment, the door creaked open. A corpse mandrill that exuded a rotten smell came out, stared at Liu Jing for a moment, and then bowed slightly to get out of the way. With an expressionless face, Mandrill led him straight to the main room of the manor and pointed
A cushion on the ground, then turned and walked out.
A quarter of an hour later, a faint green light appeared in the nearby corridor and slowly came into the main room.
Liu Jing looked up and saw a pale and pretty woman's face reflected behind the faint green light. Her lips were red as if she had just drank human blood, but her eyes were like a ball of black ink. She held a copper lamp in her hand, and the green flame inside danced with the woman's steps, like a will-o'-the-wisp on a grave. The pair of eyes with Liu Jing actually made Liu Jing feel a little uneasy in his heart. He wanted to open his mouth to ask, but he swallowed the words as they reached his lips.
Because the woman had no intention of speaking at all, she just placed the copper lamp in front of the main seat of the main room, then sat down next to it, quietly without saying a word. Liu Jing saw the faint white diamond-shaped mark on the woman's forehead and a healed wound on the back of her head. He thought to himself: "I heard that Wen Xian sent a female slave to the Holy Envoy. It should be this woman."
The woman didn't pay attention to Liu Jing's eyes. She just sat with her eyes slightly lowered and fiddled with the wick from time to time with her fingers. The atmosphere in the room was quiet and strange, and neither of them had any intention of speaking.
A quarter of an hour later, there was a sound of light footsteps, and then a tall figure walked into the main room and sat next to the woman. The woman quickly bowed her head in salute, and Liu Jing also straightened up, "Your Majesty the Holy Envoy."
"Nanzhao and his party have gained a lot." The Holy Envoy glanced at Liu Jing and said quietly.
"Thanks to you, I have gained a little bit." Liu Jing said with fear.
"In the future, when refining tobacco, don't make so much noise. The massacre of thousands of people in several villages and towns has attracted the attention of Nanzhao practitioners."
"Those sects are as annoying as flies."
Liu Jing hurriedly said: "The Holy Envoy taught me that I must be careful in the future."
The Holy Envoy nodded and said no more about Liu Jing's murder, "Did you find what I wanted?"
Liu Jing reached into his arms, took out a brass box and said, "I found it, please have the Holy Envoy take a look."
The Holy Envoy smiled softly, and the woman beside him stood up, took it, and placed it in front of the Holy Envoy.
The Holy Messenger stretched out a hand from his sleeve, and with his inch-long nails, he opened the cover to reveal a gap. An angry hissing sound came from the box, and Liu Jing was nervous for a while. When he saw the Holy Envoy closing the lid, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Very good, with this, we can proceed to the next step." The Holy Envoy stood up, "Go to Xudu immediately and tell the Three Saints that we can start."
Liu Jing lowered his head and responded. Seeing that the Holy Envoy was about to leave, he hurriedly said, "Sir, I have something else to do."
The Holy Messenger stopped and asked, "What's going on?"
"I met Song Xin. That boy has become Luo Hai's adopted son. I'm worried that he will ruin our affairs..."
"Luo Hai..." Then he looked at the woman beside him and asked, "Qing'er, isn't this Song Xin related to you?"
It turns out that she is Tian Qing'er. She disappeared after the death of uncle and nephew Chen Kang, and no one knows what happened to her body to end up like this.
Tian Qing'er nodded slightly, "Yes." She looked at Liu Jing, "I'm afraid he is dead now."
The Holy Envoy smiled and said: "You underestimated that boy. Those ghouls couldn't kill him at all, and now I'm afraid he has been lost in vain."
Tian Qing'er's pale face suddenly showed panic. She opened her mouth to speak, but couldn't say a word.
"I won't pursue it this time. In the future, I will take off Song Xin's head and give it to you to play with."
