At sunset, Qinling Ancient Village...
The entrance to the dilapidated village, which was guarded by two people, was greeted by a burst of marching smoke. Although the two young men in charge of the guards were dressed like ordinary villagers, their militancy was revealed in their movements. Undoubtedly, "There is movement ahead! Be careful."
"Wait a minute, it doesn't look like an evil spirit, it looks like a convoy..."
"Convoy, by the way, Mingyu City is indeed supposed to deliver a batch of supplies today, but it seems that it hasn't arrived all day long. I thought it wouldn't arrive. Now it seems like it will be delayed?"
"Hey~~brothers in front, hurry up, come and help..."
Hearing the cry of Qi Linfeng who was walking in front, the two young men quickly stepped forward to greet them. However, when they saw clearly the situation of Qi Linfeng and others in front of them through the rising moonlight, they couldn't help but be surprised. "Are you from Mingyu City?"
"Yes, yes, what's wrong?"
"Haha, we should be the ones asking you what's wrong. Looking at you in such a mess, could it be that you have been attacked by evil spirits?" Looking at the dozen people in front of him, my brother had his head down, panting, and his body was even bigger. The injuries were constant and the blood reflected the moon. It was not difficult for the two young men to imagine the fierce battles these people had experienced before. They couldn't help but gasped, "It's a shame that you are still alive here after doing this. I admire you."
"No, there's nothing we can do. Our captain has said that this is the future of our brothers and we can't lose anything. By the way, can we go in now? We really can't hold on anymore. We can't even have the last bit of strength to feed. It’s all been used...”
"Wait a minute, where is your captain? We can't easily let people in without the captain's warrant. This is a rule, and you understand it."
Qi Linfeng pointed to a car, where the captain looked seriously injured and was dying, and said: "Brothers, it's not that we don't have it, but you have also seen that our captains are all like this, hanging with their last breath. He can't move either."
"Uh... Hey, that's all. Go get the warrant, stamp it, and make a record. We must also act according to the rules, so don't embarrass us two."
"Okay, okay, wait a minute."
After confirming the warrant, the group entered the village with the goods. One of the guards was responsible for leading the way. But what made Qi Linfeng couldn't help but wonder was that the surrounding houses were dark and seemed to be deathly silent. , "Brother, why is there no one in this village? It's just dark, so it's not like everyone is there."
But the young man who led the way didn't answer him. He just replied perfunctorily, "Okay, okay, don't ask so many questions if it's not something you should know. We'll be there ahead. You can put down your things and leave later. Remember, don’t stay, otherwise even the gods may not be able to save you.”
"Huh? Why?"
"I told you, just do as you are told. There are so many problems. Remember, leave quickly."
Qi Linfeng had a helpless and uncomfortable expression on his face, "Goodbye, brother, look at how many of us were originally more than a hundred people. Now we are dead and injured, and only a dozen of them are left. Moreover, we are all scarred now. You If you drive us out now, don't you just let us die? Please, just let us brothers stay overnight and leave early tomorrow morning."
Seeing that Qi Linfeng and the others were indeed seriously injured, the young man could not bear it, "Okay, but I have to ask the adults above first later. I will try my best to help you fight for it."
"Ouch! Thank you so much, brother!"
After a while, they came to a stone temple that looked a bit old at the back of the village. An obvious formation barrier separated them in front of them. The young man then stepped forward and stood in front of a dilapidated temple. In front of the blue stone Buddha statue with only half of its body left, he began to perform mudras and muttered something to himself. It seemed that he was explaining the matter before him to someone.
The young man then gave a respectful salute, then turned to Qi Linfeng and others and said, "Well, since you have tried your best to protect these precious goods and suffered heavy casualties, the adults above have made a special exception to allow you to
Let's stay overnight for now and leave as early as possible tomorrow morning. "
"Really, thank you, thank you so much!"
"Then, this is the reward I promised you before, count it."
Taking over the storage ring in his hand, Qi Linfeng couldn't help but sigh to himself, "Five million spiritual cores? It's quite generous. No wonder these people want to take on this risky job even if they die. This is a big reward." There must be a brave man below, and this money is indeed enough for ordinary people to spend half a lifetime."
"I dare to ask, brother, where will the dozen of us stay tonight? If it's not possible, just have a place to cover our heads."
"No, except for those within a hundred meters of this area, you can see all the houses around. You can choose whatever you want. There is no one else here anyway."
"No one? Not a single one?" Qi Linfeng asked hypocritically, "Did all the villagers in this village run away?"
But the young man's face turned dark instantly, "There's so much nonsense, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask, otherwise be careful and just go out and have a seat in the open air."
"No, no, I'm just out of curiosity and I won't ask."
"Hmph, let me remind you, there is a saying that curiosity killed the cat. You can live in it, but it is best not to walk around after late at night. Once you are discovered, it will not be as simple as just kicking it out. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand..."
It's the middle of the night...
In a dimly lit house somewhere, Qi Linfeng quietly stood up and observed the surroundings outside the house. Under the coverage of perception, Qi Linfeng discovered that there seemed to be no people in this village, but in fact it was extremely guarded. Strictly, just a few hours after they stayed, there were obviously more than a dozen patrols passing by outside. What made Qi Linfeng puzzled was that those people were light-footed, disorganized, and had no military training. , "There seems to be something weird everywhere here...".net
In the thick darkness of night, Qi Linfeng quietly left the house, secretly following the patrolling team, but those people were more like drunken men than patrolling, and everyone was shaken. Staggering and walking aimlessly, a gust of air blew by. Qi Linfeng instantly noticed something was wrong, and quickly covered his mouth and nose, "No, it smells so strong, these are not living people,"
Qi Linfeng stepped forward quickly, and when he got closer, he realized that the people in front of him were not guards at all, but just ordinary people in ordinary clothes. Obviously, they should all be villagers of this village, "I'll go ...Corpse control technique? Good guy, people like the Feather Phoenix Divine Sect are so cruel that they won’t even spare their own people. Could it be that all the villagers in this village were used by them to become corpse soldiers?..."
Roar……
Before Qi Linfeng could continue to approach, the villagers' faces suddenly became ferocious, and they were about to pounce on Qi Linfeng. Each of the dozen or so people were rotten and cold, with green faces and fangs, without the slightest anger, and some seemed to be angry. And the desire for popularity and blood, "It seems that these people have been dead for a long time, what a sin..."
Just when they were about to eat Qi Linfeng alive, tear them apart and devour them, Qi Linfeng's soul rat appeared again. Under the bloody child's eyes, a mysterious and strange aura instantly covered all the corpses. , "It's just corpse control. I don't know how to do it, but that doesn't mean I can't do it. In that case, I just want to play with it."
Then the original corpse's eyes changed, and instead it obeyed Qi Linfeng's command. After doing this, in less than an hour, Qi Linfeng in turn controlled all the corpses he could see, and he I sneaked to the previous stone temple again,
Under the touch of the palm, the Buddha statue responded repeatedly, "So that's it, it's not a message, but a universe within it."
Under the almost instantaneous decipherment of the ancient building system, Qi Linfeng easily entered the passage of the Buddha statue. As the passage moved forward, Qi Linfeng kept going deeper into the ground until his eyes suddenly lit up, and his vision suddenly brightened. After opening up, Qi Linfeng understood instantly, "So that's it, the whole village has been arranged into a large refining formation. It takes so much effort. Is the Feather Phoenix Divine Sect planning to refine something?"
After a quick scan, Qi Linfeng instantly grasped the situation and saw that he followed his perception.
Go, you will see, first, rows of corpses are hung and laid out on the surrounding rocks. A more pungent smell of antiseptic comes directly to your face. After passing through the corpses, you will see next What was there was a large number of bones. The bones piled up into mountains. The blood flowed and gathered into a small river surrounding a large formation. In the center of the formation, an old man with long silver hair and gray beard sat in it, with his back thrust into his body. There are more than a dozen long tubes made of flesh and blood. Something seems to be poured into the tubes continuously to maintain or support the source of power for the movements of the old man's hands. The other end of the tubes is connected to a certain teleportation array. , there is no way of knowing exactly where it will go.
"These bones belong to the spirit beast clan..." Qi Linfeng's face condensed slightly, "Looking at that man's posture, he is a weapon refiner."
Behind him, what came into view was also a huge blood pool. The pool was filled with densely packed weird spiritual weapons. They looked like corpses, but they had a sharpness far beyond ordinary spiritual weapons. "He Are you here, refining weapons?"
Qi Linfeng just wanted to enter, but he didn't want to be surrounded by some extremely small warning formations under his feet and even around him. Some were even as small as mung beans, but as soon as they were touched, they would explode instantly, "Who! Who dares to break into this place, come out!" "
Qi Linfeng concealed his figure and aura in time, but was discovered by that person in the end, "Although this person's strength is not something to be afraid of, and the matter can be solved in minutes, it would be bad to scare the snake away before we figure out what they are doing. That’s all, it’s time for the little corpses to take action,”
As the soul rat in his hand throbbed, all the corpses in the village outside began to fight instantly. They bit at the sight of living things, became violent when they saw anger, and began to make a mess.
"What's going on! Why don't these damn corpse soldiers obey orders? No, be on guard, don't get bitten... ugh!"
