This demon-suppressing soldier had a very tough attitude, his expression was full of anxiety, and he would look at the black mist behind him from time to time.
But Zhang Sanfen took out his ID, threw it away, and said loudly: "I am Zhang Sanfen, a special guest of the Secret Bureau!"
"I'm sorry, it's our mission to go to the Uncursed Road, you have no right to order me."
The demon-suppressing soldier checked his ID and his attitude softened a lot.
He saluted this time and said: "Mr. Zhang, I am the captain of the first combat team of the South Camp of the Demon Suppression Force!"
"At present, we have received an order. Except for the death-defying soldiers, all demon-suppressing soldiers should immediately withdraw from the area shrouded in black fog and clear out all civilian exorcists encountered along the way."
After a pause, the demon-suppressing soldier explained: "As you know, overseas exorcists and murderers on the wanted list have come recently. The demon-suppressing soldier is worried that they will disrupt the current situation."
Zhang Sanfen nodded and said: "I am a special guest of the Secret Bureau, and I am not under the jurisdiction of the Demon Suppressor General."
"But I have three spirits under my command. I need you to take them back and temporarily settle them in South Camp. The current situation of no cursed road makes it no longer suitable to take them with you."
Now we have speculated that the black mist may be related to soul pollution.
The demon-suppressing soldiers are strong-willed and have intact souls, so they can still resist for a while.
But the wolf spirit is not a human being, and its soul also has congenital flaws.
If the wolf spirit is allowed to enter, it may be contaminated by the soul, and it would be a pity to die inside.
After all, they are still three wolf lives. If you can save them, save them.
The demon-suppressing soldier said quickly: "No problem! I will arrange them!"
Zhang Sanfen looked at Master Miqing again. The wrinkled old man shook his head gently and said, "I want to find Renqing."
Renqing may be the name of the Tantric disciple who defected.
The Snowy Mountains have a very transcendent status in Middle-earth. Although they also respect the Yin-Yang Agreement, they have a high degree of freedom. Even the Secret Bureau cannot force them to order them.
The demon-suppressing soldier looked at us seriously and said, "In that case, do you still lack anything? We can provide the necessary supplies."
We didn't lack much, but Master Miqing asked for some food and water.
As for weapons and the like, we have them in the car, but Master Miqing doesn’t know how to use them at all.
Before leaving, the three wolf spirits looked at me pitifully.
I know they want to follow me, because the evil spirit of the demon-suppressing soldiers is too strong. As spirits, they are worried that they will be chopped down by the demon-suppressing soldiers in the next second.
But Zhang Sanfen and I could only turn around and leave cruelly.
Taking these three wolf spirits with you is irresponsible for their lives.
After bidding farewell to the convoy of demon-suppressing soldiers, Master Miqing also boarded our off-road vehicle, ready to explore the life and death section of the curse-free road.
We kept walking along the built road. The further we walked, the thicker the fog became.
At the beginning, the surrounding sky seemed to be filled with heavy haze. After a while, the haze gradually became thicker, and it seemed as if dusk had entered between the sky and the earth.
At this place, we saw another group of retreating demon-suppressing soldiers.
They looked tired, their expressions were solemn, and their eyes were slightly red.
This should be a sign that the soul is polluted.
However, the demon-suppressing soldiers have extremely strong willpower and their souls are much stronger than ordinary people. Although their souls are contaminated, they still maintain their consciousness.
We talked briefly for a while.
Only then did I know that the team was led by a combat team from the Demon Suppression Soldiers' Peking University Battalion. After the earthquake and under the thick black fog, they were responsible for searching and rescuing the team directly under the Western University who had lost their way here.
From the time they received the mission to now, they have been staying in the black mist for eighteen hours.
Over such a long period of time, some demon-suppressing soldiers have been contaminated by their souls and have shown signs of going crazy.
In this case, they had to temporarily withdraw from the black fog range. However, they originally evacuated to the North Camp, but because they misjudged the direction inside, they got closer and closer to the South Camp.
We showed them the way and asked about the whereabouts of the Queen of Secret Hearts.
Unfortunately, this group of demon-suppressing soldiers did not meet the Secret Heart Queen. Instead, they met the defected disciple Renqing of Daxueshan Temple.
At first, the demon-suppressing soldiers tried to help the red master, but three of them were killed by the opponent.
It is worth mentioning that the eyes of the red master Renqing have completely turned blood red.
This is a symbol of a polluted soul.
Because they had a mission, although three of the demon-suppressing soldiers died, they still did not have too much entanglement with Master Renqing and chose to retreat.
Fortunately, Master Renqing didn't care about killing anyone, and instead dived into the black mist and disappeared without a trace.
After receiving the news, Zhang Sanfen and I felt a little heavy.
This is the last batch of demon-suppressing soldiers.
Going further, we should face the evil ghosts and dead souls coming from the uncursed road, as well as the ubiquitous soul pollution.
Logically speaking, we should not rush into the depths of the black mist when there is no definite news about the Secret Queen.
But what if?
What if the Secret Queen is really inside?
I glanced at Zhang Sanfen and said: "Boss..."
Zhang Sanfen smiled at me and said, "You're already here, so you can't just leave in such a dejected manner, right?"
"Besides, aren't you curious about what is hidden in the deepest part of the Curseless Road?"
I immediately became energetic.
Yes, the Uncursed Road can be said to be the most mysterious place in Middle-earth, comparable to the Catacombs in Paris and Sleepy Hollow in North America.
You've already come, how can you be willing to accept it if you don't understand it clearly?
When the team of scarred demon-suppressing soldiers saw that we insisted on our choice, they didn't try to persuade us. They just reminded us a few times and then gradually withdrew with the team.
At this time, black fog filled the surrounding area, and visibility was less than 100 meters.
I reached out and turned on the car lights. Two modified LED headlights cut through the black fog, like two sharp swords.
After a while, the highway turned into an unpaved road.
This is a section of road where the roadbed has been developed but has not been poured.
The bumps and bumps on the road were very bumpy when the vehicle was driving on it.
After walking along the unpaved road for half an hour, the surrounding visibility had dropped to more than fifty meters. Even with the car lights shining on it, it was still not very clear.
At this time, there were no unpaved roadbeds left, and we had completely entered the wilderness area.
I silently put the Demon-Slaying Thorn next to me and slowed down the car to avoid anything messy coming out of the black mist.
Suddenly Zhang Sanfen looked serious and said quickly: "Stop the car! Turn off the engine! Turn off the lights!"
Without hesitation, I turned off the vehicle's engine and turned off all the lights.
As soon as the light was turned off, the surrounding black fog immediately swept in.
I just felt that the surroundings were as dark as ink, and the visibility was reduced to more than ten meters.
There was silence all around, and even the wind on the plateau seemed to have stopped. Sitting in the car, I could even hear my own heartbeat.
Zhang Sanfen looked at the Yin-Yang compass carefully and said: "There are Yin soldiers!"
He reached into his bag and took out three black cloth strips with a pungent smell and said, "Tie them on your forehead."
These three black strips of cloth were obtained from the underworld people in southern Gansu. The strips were originally white, but they were cut from the clothes of the dead and soaked in blood to turn them black and red.
After adding some random drugs and materials, it finally turned black.
As long as you wear a piece of cloth, you can cover your own yang energy. No matter what kind of underworld brat you are, the other party will only treat you as a walking zombie.
Master Miqing and I put the strips of cloth on our heads one after another. Just as we were about to speak, we saw countless ghostly figures appearing in the black mist in front of us.
These ghosts seem to be unconscious, with their eyes blank and their bodies unreal.
Their bodies are suspended in mid-air, seemingly floating in the wind.
I looked around and saw that wherever I looked, there were dense ghost figures everywhere, and I couldn't even see the edge at a glance!
Zhang Sanfen whispered: "Someone is herding ghosts!"
I remembered that in the study materials my boss gave me, there were records about herding ghosts.
It is said that because Fengdu is an underground world, it is the most suitable place for ghost people to gather.
But even ghosts must abide by the law of conservation of energy.
When people live, they have to exercise and think, all of which consume energy, so people need to eat to replenish energy.
The same goes for ghosts. If they think, they will consume their own energy fluctuations and emit yin energy, which is also a consumption of themselves.
So ghosts also need to replenish their energy.
It’s just that the energy supplemented by ghosts is Yin Qi and Yang Qi.
On weekdays, ghosts can absorb the breath of heaven and earth to maintain their own body consumption, and some will absorb yang energy to replenish it by harming living people.
But some powerful people in Fengdu believe that absorbing the free energy between heaven and earth is too inefficient and is far less enjoyable than eating ghosts.
So in Fengdu or the eighteenth level of hell, there are always a group of powerful dead souls who like to eat ghosts.
But ghosts are not so easy to eat. If you are eager to eat them, some dead souls will unite to fight against you.
After several fights, these ghost-eating guys reached an agreement with Fengdu.
Fengdu recognizes the legality of eating ghosts, but the ghosts they eat cannot be the registered citizens of Fengdu. In other words, as long as the ghosts have names in the book of life and death, they cannot be used as food.
At the same time, some lonely ghosts, as long as they have independent thoughts, cannot be eaten, because these are the foundation for the future growth of Fengdu.
If you want to eat, you can only eat those souls with incomplete souls or those who are confused and confused.
After reaching this agreement, Fengdu was divided into two factions.
One group is the normal dead souls headed by King Yama. They do not rely on eating ghosts to strengthen themselves, but like to refine the purity of their souls through soul fluctuations.
The other faction is the ghost-eating faction headed by King Guang of Qin.
They banded together, gathered the souls of the dead with incomplete souls, and herded them like cattle and sheep.
During the grazing process, these remnant souls will gradually absorb the yin energy between heaven and earth, and then become condensed. When it reaches a certain level, they can be dedicated to the ghost kings above for enjoyment.
In order to obtain high-quality broken souls, this group of ghost-eating sects frequently attack living people to improve their own lives.
Compared to King Yama and others, these dead souls are more hateful, but they are also stronger!
Since there are broken souls being herded here, there must be ghost soldiers behind them acting as "shepherd dogs".
