Tuduo finally led the people over the mountains and returned to the grassland, and was trying his best to move forward.
But the people from the Lisu tribe told him that there really were ghosts on the grassland, and their people had been eaten by the ghosts.
Tuduo felt like his whole body was broken.
"What did you say, there's a ghost?"
The barbarian behind Tuduo rushed over, pulled the man and questioned him.
The man's tears turned into ice crystals, his nose was red from the cold, and he cried: "They suddenly appeared outside the cave and ate all our people, all of them. We shot them with random arrows. They were hit by arrows, but they couldn't be killed. They cannot be killed."
"Yes, they are ghosts. Unkillable ghosts. Neither arrows nor knives can kill them."
"We hit their heads with random arrows, but they pulled out the arrows and continued to eat people."
Speaking of the ghost clan, the five people were filled with nothing but sadness and fear.
The barbarians behind them all came forward to inquire about the situation, and wanted to ask about the situation of the Lieutenant Division, but they heard this shocking news.
Tuduo was stunned for a long time, then shook his head and said: "No, the grassland is a place blessed by the wolf god. There can be no ghost clan. You are lying."
"Are you Long Chen's lackeys? Did Long Chen send you to tell me?"
Tu Duo spoke very excitedly. He did not accept this fact. He believed that these five people were Long Chen's spies and deliberately misled Tu Duo and the others.
The man from the Liesu Department shook his head and cried: "Our people are all dead, why should we lie to you."
"We should have listened to Shan Yu and gone to Yanmen Pass to escape."
After talking about the affairs of the Speed Division, the man asked: "Where do you want to go? Could it be that Da Zhou expelled us and refused to take us in?"
Tuduo was speechless when asked.
The barbarian behind him said: "Tuzhi became Long Chen's lackey and killed Wu Gu, Tuo Deli and Commander Tie Li. They..."
Manzi didn't know how to explain it.
They clamored to return to the grassland, and Tuzhi took action to kill Ugu.
Now that I have escaped, I heard that there are evil spirits in the grassland.
"Can't we go to Yanmen Pass? Doesn't Shanyu want to take us away from the ghost clan?"
The people from the Speed Division were sitting in the snow, not knowing where to go.
"No, you are lying. I don't believe it. The grassland is a place blessed by the wolf god. There can be no ghosts."
"Everyone, follow me, I will take you back!"
Tuduo was unwilling to give in and insisted on leading the people forward.
People who were as stubborn as him followed, and some stopped to explain what happened to the people from the Speed Department.
After hearing the cause and effect, the man from the Liesu tribe said: "Don't go back, our tribe is gone. You can go to the cliff cave of our Liesu tribe. There is nothing there."
After saying that, the five men from the Lisu Department begged for some food and continued walking to Yanmen Pass after eating.

Beacon tower.
The soldiers were wrapped in thick cold clothes and looked at the white snowfield to the north.
After watching for a while, the soldier lowered his head and rubbed his eyes, looked around inside the beacon tower, and then looked at the snowy field.
When there is snow all around, it’s hard on your eyes if you look too much, so you have to take it easy.
"Old Zhao, come down and I'll take your place."
A younger soldier climbed up, and Old Zhao said politely, "Okay, I'll go down and warm myself up by the fire. It's too cold."
When Old Zhao went down, the young soldiers came up and stood on the opening looking north.
Three black spots came from far to near, and the soldier immediately shouted: "There is a situation, there is someone!"
The team leader in charge of the beacon tower immediately climbed up, put his hands on the wall, and stared at the black spots with his eyes.
After looking at it, the squad leader said: "It seems to be King Wu."
Others were also watching, nodding and saying, "Yes, it's King Wu."
Soon, Long Chen and the others arrived at the beacon tower.
The squad leader immediately went down to open the door and said, "Young man, please pay homage to King Wu."
Long Chen didn't waste any time and said, "Go and inform the other brothers at Beacon Tower that the ghost tribe is coming soon."
The squad leader asked in surprise: "Could it be that King Wu saw the ghost tribe?"
Long Chen looked unhappy and said: "I didn't see the ghost clan, but I saw the barbarian who was attacked by the ghost clan. The situation is very bad."
"The ghost tribe not only attacked the barbarians, but those barbarians became puppets of the ghost tribe after being sucked by blood. They may now have tens of thousands of people, and their number may continue to expand."
These things must be explained briefly so that the soldiers can understand the whole story, otherwise they will not be able to understand when asked when they arrive at other beacon towers.
After hearing this, the squad leader was also shocked and said: "I heard that there are hundreds of thousands of barbarians stranded on the grassland. If they all become puppets of the ghost tribe, then we will face hundreds of thousands of enemy troops. "
Long Chen looked solemn and said: "Yes, that's it. You should immediately tell other beacon towers in the surrounding areas to be more vigilant. Once signs of the ghost clan are found, they will light up the smoke immediately."
"Also, the most important point is, after lighting the smoke, immediately retreat to Yanmen Pass. You are no match for the ghost clan."
The squad leader and the soldiers at the beacon heard clearly and immediately put on their sleds and tied something like a sail on their backs.
This was designed by Long Chen, like a small sail. Soldiers wearing this can use the north wind to speed up.
Seven soldiers immediately sent warning orders to other peripheral beacon towers.
After the people left, Long Chen said: "You two also go back and tell the Holy Lord immediately that the ghost tribe has started to take action."
Gan Xin asked: "Master, won't you go back?"
Long Chen shook his head and said, "No, I'll wait here and see who takes the lead."
On this trip, I was only sure that the ghost clan had taken action. I didn't see the ghost fetus. I couldn't confirm whether the martial saint and the ghost girl had awakened.
According to speculation, the Wu Sheng and the Ghost Girl need the blood of Long Chen and the Empress to wake up. The Ghost Fetus failed, so the Wu Sheng and the Ghost Girl should still be sleeping.
However, the ghost tire may have a back-up plan.
Long Chen must guard here to determine who is the leader, how many warriors the ghost clan has, and how many puppets they have brought.
Gan Xin and Mo Lin did not show any pretense. They bowed their hands and immediately ran to Yanmen Pass. At the same time, they told the beacon tower along the way that the ghost tribe had appeared and everyone was on heightened alert.
After the people left, Long Chen stood guard at the beacon tower alone.
Gan Xin and Mo Lin quickly returned to Yanmen Pass on sleds and a favorable wind.
When they got to the pass, it was Zhang Qian's shift that day. When she saw Long Chen, Gan Xin and Mo Lin looked flustered again, they immediately stopped him and asked, "Where is King Wu? Why are you two the only ones back?"
Zhang Qian thought something had happened to Long Chen, and her voice was trembling when she spoke.
Gan Xin said breathlessly: "General Zhang, don't worry, King Wu is fine. He is monitoring the ghost clan's movements at the beacon tower and asked us to come back and report."
Zhang Qian grabbed Gan Xin's sleeve and asked, "Didn't you lie?"
Mo Lin stepped forward and persuaded: "General Zhang, how accomplished King Wu is. If King Wu could not come back, the two of us would have died long ago." Bayi Chinese website
Zhang Qian then let go and said, "That's true, he will be fine even if you die."
This made Gan Xin and Mo Lin speechless.
Zhang Qian is Long Chen's woman, so there is nothing she can do about it if she speaks harshly.
"General Zhang, we have something important to report to Your Majesty, so I'm sorry."
Mo Lin pulled Gan Xin and hurriedly walked down the city wall to the empress' room.
Wu Xiangyun came over and asked, "What happened just now? Why didn't you see your husband back?"
Zhang Qian turned to look north and said in a solemn tone: "I'm afraid the ghost tribe is coming, so let everyone enter a fighting state."
Wu Xiangyun was suddenly startled and said, "Okay!"
