"Walking along the desolate road for a long time makes me feel sad. There are no fireworks in all directions, but I can see woods and hills."
Amidst the low and hoarse chanting, a short and stooped old woman was trudging through the rugged and pathless barren mountains, holding a thin wooden stick.
She walked slowly and carefully, carefully considering every step she took, and only moved forward after making sure steps.
"The walls of the city are covered with hazel thorns, and the paths have nowhere to go. The marshes are filled with grass, and the rivers are flowing with reeds..."
Before the poem was recited, he was interrupted by a voice: "Mother Pi, why does your voice sound weird? Is it time for your throat bones to be replaced?"
Hearing this, the old woman looked up and saw that the person speaking was a colorful furry corpse.
This furry corpse's head and face were covered with inch-long hair. It had sharp claws and long arms. It was wrapped in a tattered cloth robe. It could only be said that it still looked vaguely human. At this time It was like an ape, squatting on a rock protruding from the stone wall, looking down at the old woman with curiosity.
"By the way, didn't you, mother-in-law, say that you wanted to stay away from this land of right and wrong and go to the south to make a living? Why didn't you cross the river and instead came to this deep mountain?"
Judging from the tone and demeanor, it was obvious that the five-colored hairy corpse knew the old woman, and he seemed to have no ill intentions.
Under the rock where it was squatting, there were astonishingly a dozen newly dead corpses, lying on the ground in a mess, with five-colored fluff of different lengths already growing on their bodies.
Most of the corpses were dressed in prison uniforms, with blood holes all over their bodies, as if they had been shot to death by countless arrows, and their skin was pale and swollen. It was obvious that they had been soaked in water after death. There were only five corpses wearing black leather armor. The body is the best preserved.
After seeing the situation clearly, Mrs. Pi's eyes flashed and she grinned. The teeth in her mouth were all strangely shaped and of different colors.
She automatically ignored the topic of her voice and throat bones, and still whispered in a hoarse voice: "I want to go south, but there is really nothing I can do. Those new guys at the corpse collection are not easy to get along with, and they are all the same. How can I dare to stay longer with such a ferocious demeanor?"
"I was supposed to cross the river a few days ago, but my muscles and bones are still weak, and my legs and feet are really slow. I even accidentally lost the two sheepskins used to carry the felt bag, so I had to come here to look for it in the mountains."
Hearing this, the five-color haired corpse did not doubt that he was there, and immediately laughed: "You woman's luck is really bad. If you had listened to me, Huang Xiaoer, and found a shopkeeper in the corpse collection, why would you need to do this? Hard?"
Mrs. Pi immediately shook her head: "How can I dare! If some evil-hearted person tricks me and is locked up and used as a livestock for producing leather, it will be too late to regret it!"
The five-colored hairy corpse who called himself "Huang Xiaoer" laughed when he heard this: "Others don't know what the naughty woman is doing, but I don't know it either?"
"Tell me, is the Yin child corpse I sold you still useful?"
While talking, Huang Xiaoer jumped down from the rock and landed in front of Mrs. Pi.
It moved its nose and sniffed hard, with a look of surprise on its face: "Why can't I smell the smell of the Yin child's corpse? Was it digested by you so quickly?"
"No, no! You are not yet fully refined, but you don't have such a good appetite... Does that mean you encountered some powerful opponent and had to consume it during the battle?"
"That shouldn't be the case. All the way from the Corpse Collection to the south to the Forbidden Water Bank, the people who are in charge of things along the way are not good people. They will never allow others to cause trouble on their own territory. They also collect tolls according to the rules. Especially the management. The one who is looking at the wild land outside the mountain is a grass-headed god. He is usually the most stubborn one, so who would mess with it when he has nothing to do?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Pi was slightly startled, opened her mouth, and suddenly sighed: "Where are the grass-headed gods? The army from the south has crossed the river and has burned the wilderness outside into a white field!"
"Hiss... there was indeed a lot of commotion outside the mountain just now. There were shouting and killing, and the sky was full of boiling. I can see the thick smoke rising into the sky from here. But listening to your words, could it be that it was just for this moment? , the grass-headed god is already finished?"
Huang Xiaoer was obviously very surprised: "I heard that Shouguang Houyang Shengqing, who led the army in Yongchang Town, refined a god of frost, and his methods were very close to our lineage of ghost corpses, but I didn't hear that he was also good at using fire. ah?"
Mrs. Pi immediately shook her head: "The one who crossed the river was not Yang Shengqing's Yongchang border army, but Gouchenyuan's Zuowu army. The leader called himself Captain Yulin."
"Gou Chen Yuan? That legendary demon-driving army that is directly under the leadership of the Qi Kingdom?"
Huang Xiaoer was taken aback again and became more and more reluctant to believe it: "A mere useless school captain can actually be so powerful?"
"What kind of friendship do we have? Can my old lady still lie to you?"
Mrs. Pi was immediately unhappy: "That Lieutenant of Yulin is a great person. His name is Qi Jingzhi. He looks like he is only sixteen or seventeen years old. He has red lips, white teeth, and delicate eyebrows. He is very fierce when he moves his hands. The soldiers are all like wolves and tigers."
"Fortunately, I saw the opportunity quickly and disposed of the body of the Yin boy decisively. Otherwise, we would never see each other again! If it weren't for this reason, I wouldn't have been separated from the two sheep demons..."
Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaoer suddenly turned his head and looked at the five corpses of black-armored soldiers on the ground, with a gloomy expression on his face: "No wonder these black armors are so weird. They have obviously lost the vitality and blood blessing of the armored men, but they are still there." The ability to suppress part of the corpse energy turns out to be from Gouchen Yuan!"
"I was still wondering just now. In recent years, only the bodies of executed prisoners can be fished out of the forbidden water. There are very few idiots who die by accidently falling into the poisonous white mist. Why are there five of them here at once today... It seems that this time, the leader of Qi State is determined to open up the north bank of the forbidden water, and he is obviously fully prepared!"
Huang Xiaoer's expression became more solemn. He turned to look at Mrs. Pi and asked hesitantly: "In your opinion, is it too late for me to return these five corpses? Is there any chance to talk to that Yu Lin? Did the school captain establish friendship?"
"Go back? Make friends?"
Mrs. Pi couldn't believe her ears, and her tone became weird: "Since she is known as a pro-demonic soldier, she probably...should...not look down on us ghouls and aliens, right? I wonder if you just show up and... He will be killed by that Captain Habayashi!"
"What's wrong with the ghoul aliens? The corpse I'm inhabiting was also a soldier of the Qi army when he was alive! No matter how arrogant and domineering that Captain Habayashi is, he still has to talk about the love affair, right? Even if he is killed by him, Wouldn’t it be better if I changed into another corpse?”
Huang Xiaoer waved his hands carelessly: "Besides, I didn't kill these five Yulin Heijia. There was no grudge between the two parties before. There may be opportunities to do business in the future, so we have to fight wherever we go." Crying to kill?"
Mrs. Pi was immediately confused by the other party. She was startled and Caihu asked, "In addition to corpses or corpses, what kind of business can you do with the captain of Gouchen Academy?"
"Don't you understand? The human race is all about returning to its roots and resting in peace. I can look for some old corpses who died here more than ten years ago. Well, they are mainly those with rank and family background. Through that feather Lieutenant Lin was sold to the south."
"In addition, since they want to expand north, the mountain geography and distribution of corpses in the north of the Forbidden Water are always needed, right? Then the details of the former Yiguan Jiuzhai and the various shops of the Corpse Collection are also needed, right? Hehe, when the time comes I will Let me mention some of the things about some bitter enemies..."
Hearing this, Mrs. Pi's face was full of admiration: "It's amazing, you are really good at doing business!"
"No! I, Huang Xiaoer, still have a lot of business experience! If Shouguang Hou on the other side hadn't been so unkind and as cold as an ice pimple, I would have started all these businesses long ago!"
"Fortunately, now we have come to Gouchen Courtyard again. Relying on the power of the leader of Qi State, these old soldiers must be used to being arrogant and enjoying themselves. Now they are willing to travel thousands of miles, brave wind and snow to expand the border, and even preceded The troops on the Yongchang border crossing the river want nothing more than to achieve success, be promoted and make a fortune, so naturally they can discuss any business."
Huang Xiaoer smiled very proudly, but his face was too ugly to see.
"Especially in the north of the Forbidden Water, corpse energy is rampant. If a war breaks out, once these old soldiers who cross the river die, their transformation into corpses is almost certain. Without the help of corpse charms like me, Huang Xiaoer, their corpses will only It can be burned to ashes on the spot, but you want to transport it all back for burial? There is no way!"
"Just for this one thing, Colonel Habayashi of Lao Shizi will have to rely heavily on him..."
Huang Xiaoer's triumphant words came to an abrupt end when a beast roar came from the distance, some like a dog's bark, some like an ape's cry.
Huang Xiaoer was like a frightened giant monkey, jumping three feet high while twisting his body to look in the direction of the beast's roar.
Almost at the same time, the dozen or so furry corpses that were originally lying on the ground, whether they were missing heads and arms or were shot into sieves, stood up together and stood like a forest.
They were also staring straight in the direction where the howling sound came from. They were all already dead, but their faces showed an extremely vivid and vivid look of fear.
Immediately, one of the men in prison clothes actually spoke directly: "The wild dog is here! What can I do?"
The other furry corpses immediately responded in unison: "No way!"
Then a soldier who selected the vanguard spoke alone: "The wild dog is about to turn into a blood corpse god! What can I do?"
The other furry corpses lamented in unison: "What!"
As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen furry corpses fell to the ground, with colorful insects quickly emerging from their mouths and noses.
These little bugs come in all kinds of weird shapes, and they seem to be tangible and intangible. They sink directly into the surrounding rocks and soil and disappear without a trace.
At the same time, the five-colored hair on the corpses quietly retracted, leaving only a thin layer of fluff on the body surface, and the original aura of living creatures was almost gone.
"A bunch of worthless things! When they see the benefits, they rob them all, and when they see the danger, they abandon me and run for their lives! Those wild dogs are obviously far away from us!"
"It's about to become a climate change. If our clan doesn't stand up and give it a try, not only will we never get ahead, we will most likely be driven out and exterminated!"
Huang Xiaoer looked ugly and cursed a few times, but none of those colorful and different-shaped bugs showed up.
Seeing this, Huang Xiaoer spat bitterly, suddenly turned to look at Mrs. Pi, and said in a very urgent voice: "I know that you, the old woman, have hidden means to suppress the bottom of the box, and you need to consume corpses to use them. Although there is no one at the moment. Yin child corpse, but there are always a dozen fur corpses available."
"If you can help me kill the wild dog, all the benefits will belong to you. I, Huang Xiaoer, will give you a generous reward, which will be enough for you to successfully refine your form!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Pi blinked at the most talented guy in the zombie clan in front of her: "Okay, that's okay..."
"Comfortable! Then let's lie down quickly!"
Before Mrs. Pi could finish her words, Huang Xiaoer grabbed her arm with a face full of joy, and then they threw them to the ground and rolled into the pile of corpses.
While Huang Xiaoer squeezed under the other corpses, he did not forget to whisper: "Mother Pi, except for the one I'm in, the rest of the corpses are at your disposal. Later, when the wild dog is unprepared, Let’s make a sudden attack!”
As it spoke, the five-colored hair on its body also retracted rapidly, but no insects came out of its mouth and nose.
Mrs. Pi sighed softly and lay next to a body in black armor.
She opened her eyes and looked quietly at the foreign sky covered with thick clouds above her head, with a calm expression and an erratic tone: "Huang Xiaoer, aren't you planning to use Captain Yu Lin to get rid of your mortal enemy? Why do you suddenly have to go into battle on your own?"
"Isn't this the horoscope? We'll talk about the future later. We can't just run away now and take advantage of these dozens of furry corpses, right? This means that it's better to ask for others than to ask for yourself, and to choose another day is worse than to bump into each other. day."
While speaking, Huang Xiaoer was busy placing several corpses on his body, but he did not notice the abnormality in Mrs. Pi's attitude and tone. He just said casually: "If I really can't beat you later, I, Xiaoer Huang, You can still get away with the second run.”
"I know you bitch can fly. Be more alert later. Don't fight when the situation gets tough. Your own life is at stake."
"Oh?" The corners of Mrs. Pi's mouth turned up, as if she had heard something extremely interesting.
"You have such a good heart, corpse demon! By the way, what is a wild dog, and what is the Blood Corpse God?"
Huang Xiaoer had already hidden under several corpses at this time, fully disguised, and replied in a low voice: "Wild dogs are wild dogs. If they eat too many human corpses, they will become monsters. They are different from my Zimei clan." There are many fights, so they are natural enemies."
"The Blood Corpse God is the incarnation of an old and profound wild dog. He has red eyes and white eyebrows, like a monkey with bird feathers. He can change his body and hide in the living body. He eats the essence of the five internal organs and drinks human muscle blood, making people lose weight day by day. , died of illness."
Mrs. Pi raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "The Blood Corpse God doesn't eat corpses, but eats living people instead? He really deserves to die..."
At this moment, the ground suddenly began to tremble slightly.
Huang Xiaoer, who was about to speak, immediately shut his mouth and his body became motionless, like a dead thing.
Mrs. Pi also quickly held her breath, and the vitality around her body disappeared, and there was no more sound in the entire land of corpses.
Not long after, as the thumping footsteps came closer and closer, a heavy thing ran towards the front, making a weird gurgling sound in its throat, breathing extremely heavily, and a disgusting stench spread out. .
Immediately afterwards, a furry corpse at the edge of the pile of corpses was selected by the opponent. The skin and flesh were torn and chewed, and the bones were bitten so hard that they made a cracking sound.
Pi Pozi opened her eyes slightly, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw a monster with an animal head and body and blood feathers lying on the ground, biting human heads and sucking brains.
The appearance of this "wild dog" is hard to describe. It doesn't look like a wild dog, nor does it look like a bird-feathered monkey with red eyes and white eyebrows in Huang Xiaoer's mouth. Instead, it looks like the two are randomly mixed together. It looks really weird and tight, and I really can't tell what it is.
But what is certain is that the teeth in its mouth are gleaming with cold light, curved in the middle and sharp at the tip. They look like sharp weapons for cutting flesh and bones; the bloody bird feathers on its body are like condensed blood, and are full of sadness and beauty. Cold and ominous.
Not long after, the monster sucked the brains out of a furry corpse, but it looked like it was dissatisfied with the taste.
It looked around, and soon fixed its gaze on a corpse wearing black leather armor.
This was obviously an extremely fresh corpse, and it was also very well preserved.
The wild dog walked over leisurely, lowered his head and sniffed the black armor, and couldn't help sneezing loudly, with a look of disgust and anger on his face.
It opened its bloody mouth, aimed at the corpse's head, and bit down hard. Unexpectedly, it only heard the crisp sound of its own teeth colliding with each other.
