However, disappearing from sight does not mean that no one knows about it. Taoist Ghostface has heard about it himself, and Xia Houyu obviously knows about it, so his first reaction was that there was someone from Lingyun Palace secretly.
So could there really be a Yin-Yang True Lord hiding nearby?
The grimace Taoist guessed exactly like this, and even suspected Xu Yibai and Xu Yimo. The reason why he thought this way was because there was a key figure behind it, and that was the Fourth Master Xue, the captain of the Mojin Academy.
Fourth Master Xue deliberately set up a trap. The purpose has been analyzed before. He wanted to eradicate Yuanliang of the Mushroom Sect and make this Lama trap fail. To put it bluntly, he did not want anyone to get involved in Void Mountain. But this plan has obviously been ruined. Since the Royal City Juezi Camp intervened, it is impossible to change the team's goal.
However, it’s a waste of time, and Fourth Master Xue may not give up just yet, so is it possible that he will set up another killing trap in the middle? Like tonight?
The grimace Taoist priest quickly thought of the figure standing next to the Wolf King before. Could that person be Fourth Master Xue?
As soon as the Taoist Ghostface thought of this, He Siniang pulled him out of his thoughts. At this time, He Wanmen could no longer hold back. Xia Houyu had no time to wait for the Taoist Ghostface's answer, but turned to face him. Wu Nansheng said: "There are several green-shirted scholars present from each faction who are best at dealing with flying corpses. Does the Wu Sect Master have any way to defeat the enemy?"
Wu Nansheng replied: "We can only use local methods, and we need your help." As he said this, he took out a long thing from his backpack.
The thing looked like a bundle of rope, but it rattled in my hand and seemed to be made of fine steel.
Xia Houyu saw this and wondered: "Could this thing be a 'corpse-binding lock'?" "
Wu Nansheng nodded, then greeted everyone, then turned around and rushed towards "Wang Wu".
Wu Nansheng held the upper end of the corpse lock with one hand, and pulled a rope with the other hand. When he was a few steps away from "Wang Wu", he threw the corpse lock out with all his strength. The corpse lock instantly expanded into a large net in mid-air, and then covered his head and face. Cover the "King Five".
"Wang Wu" was flying in the air one moment, and the next moment he felt his whole body tense up, and his whole body hit the ground.
After landing, "Wang Wu" kept struggling, but the corpse-binding locks were all made of fine steel buckles. The more he struggled, the tighter they became, and soon "Wang Wu" was twisted into a tangle.
Upon seeing this, everyone rushed forward and held it down. At the same time, they tied it up and down with ropes. They were relieved when they saw that it couldn't move.
"Corpse Slave" Wang Wuyi was subdued, and the situation behind the tent was instantly reversed. The Mushroom Sect and the Hewan Sect joined forces and were killed by the wolves in less than half a stick of incense.
After the wolves behind the tent were dealt with, everyone rushed to the tent to help, but at this time the Black Claw Wolf King let out a loud roar, and then saw the wolves near the camp starting to flee in all directions.
"Run away?" Everyone was confused when they saw the wolves disappearing into the dark night.
Upon seeing this, Tang Weiwu hurriedly asked Pei Shuang, "General, are you pursuing me?"
Pei Shuang waved his hand and replied: "How can two legs catch up with four legs? You'd better hurry up and gather the team."
Tang Weiwu nodded, turned around and walked towards the supplies tent.
There was a strange silence in front of the tent, because the wolves retreated so quickly that many people had not yet recovered.
After a while, a military leader named Lin from Hewanmen couldn't help but asked in confusion: "These beasts were almost attacking the tent, why did they suddenly withdraw?"
Pei Shuang snorted coldly when he heard this and said, "They have to attack them too. Didn't you see that most of the wolves have been lost?"
"Hehe! It turns out we can't beat him." Qiu Laicai interjected: "Do you really think our Juezi camp is easy to bully?"
Xiahou Qi curled his lips and muttered: "I hid far away during the fight, but now I can't stretch my neck very fast."
Pei Shuang looked around at this time and saw that many people were worried, so he said: "The wolves probably won't come in a short time. Everyone, take care of your wounds quickly, and those who are not injured will clean up the battlefield. The surrounding area must be clean." There are many evil wolves who are not completely dead yet.”
Everyone followed the order. At this time, the Grimace Taoist priests carried it over to "Wang Wu". After explaining the situation, they asked Pei Shuang how to deal with it.
Pei Shuang did not
He hesitated and had someone set it on fire. He didn't need to worry about the corpse of an ordinary soldier, but he was very concerned about controlling the corpse. He asked the grim-faced Taoist priest, "Does Master Chen mean that someone is plotting against us secretly?"
The grim-faced Taoist priest nodded and replied: "There must be someone, but who it is, I am not sure."
Pei Shuang fell silent after hearing this. Obviously, this situation was beyond his expectation.
At this time, Tang Weiwu called Pei Shuang from the side of the tent, as if he wanted to say something privately. Pei Shuang nodded, said to the grimace Taoist priest, "Master Chen, please go ahead," and then walked towards Tang Weiwu.
Tang Weiwu had gathered his troops. After counting the number of people, he realized that the situation was not good, so he came over to report to Pei Shuang: "General, our people..."
"How much is the loss?"
"There are more than thirty people. If you include the injured...I'm afraid it's already over half."
"Half of the casualties?!" Pei Shuang said in surprise: "Why are there so many?"
"There's nothing we can do. Most of them were attacked while they were resting in the tent. Later, the battle outside the tent didn't cause much damage."
Pei Shuang took a deep breath and asked, "Are there any detailed statistics on the wounded? How many are minor injuries and how many are unable to move."
"They were basically flesh injuries, and there were nearly 20 people."
"That's fine, as long as the action is not delayed, you can inform me later and we will continue on our way tomorrow morning."
"But General..." Tang Weiwu hesitated: "In such a cold environment, even a flesh wound may kill someone. Do you really want to rest before leaving?"
Pei Shuang shook his head: "Although the wolves have withdrawn, there is no guarantee that they will not come back again. Moreover, I have just received the news that there seems to be a "tail" behind us, so we cannot stay here for a long time. "
"Are we being targeted?"
"Well, I'm worried about alerting the local tribes, otherwise it will be in trouble. And you don't have to worry too much about the soldiers in the camp. From tomorrow on, they will just focus on travel and logistics. Someone will do the tomb robbing by then. Is it right? Have you forgotten the mission of our trip?"
Tang Weiwu nodded and replied, "I understand."
"It's good that you understand. Now go take care of the wounded and bring them to the orders. As for the dead soldiers, we will dig a hole and bury them together."
"yes!"
The conversation between the two was heard by the grimace Taoist priest who deliberately stayed away. He was also surprised by the level of casualties in the team, but he was also glad that the people who died were all the other party's people. After all, there was always a moment when the lamas broke out on this trip. , just like what Pei Shuang said, their trip also had other purposes. If the prediction was correct, this purpose was to eradicate the Mushroom Gate along the way after the mausoleum was obtained.
