"Found it!" After searching in the literature room of the Demon Slayer Division for more than an hour, Amu suddenly raised a book in his hand and shouted excitedly.
Qin Feng hurriedly stepped forward after hearing this: "Let me take a look."
This is a very old local document. When I opened the book, I really saw the lifelike tiger pattern!
As he scrolled down the page, Qin Feng became more and more shocked.
Hundreds of ghosts walking at night, with no name but no meaning, have always been the norm in the world.
Even though Daqian has been trying hard to change, the people at the bottom are still in dire straits.
And when life becomes a luxury, riots will inevitably occur.
Therefore, in Daqian, it is not uncommon for mountain bandits to cause chaos and local governments to separatist regimes.
Sixty-four years ago, Emperor Wu Chong was still sitting on the throne.
Emperor Wu Chong had an army named Tianzheng, which went out to conquer the demonic and mountain bandits. It was difficult for them to lose even once in a hundred battles.
As for the Tianzheng Army, it was true that they only lost once and drew once.
The defeat was a disastrous defeat. The opponent was a foreign Asura who was good at fighting. He is still a feared existence, so the defeat was not unjust.
As for the one that was defeated, it was the bandit army that dominated the Southern Territory, the Tiger-headed Barbarians.
Logically speaking, when two armies are fighting, there will be victory and defeat, as well as life and death. There is no such thing as a draw.
But the battle between Tianzheng and Hutouman can indeed be called a lose-lose situation.
In that battle, the Tianzheng Army fought 20,000 people, and 77,888 of them died.
The eight thousand bandits of the Hutouman were all wiped out.
One side is the regular army and the other side is the bandit army. There is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides. The battle that should have been one-sided ended with such a shocking result only because of one person.
The leader of the tiger-headed barbarians, Yang Mang!
This person can be said to be extremely talented. He practices Shenwu Taoism, and his strength is arrogant among all heroes. He has reached the third-level realm that countless people dream of!
He alone killed nearly ten thousand people in the Tianzheng Army!
In the end, it was precisely because of exhaustion and the high-quality combat power of the Tianzheng Army that he was consumed to death.
Qin Feng sat up from his chair with a complicated expression.
Seeing this scene, the other two people were quite puzzled.
"What's wrong?" Cang Feilan asked softly.
"See for yourselves."
The two opened the book and read page after page, their expressions becoming more and more solemn.
The identity of the ghoul has been confirmed. He is undoubtedly the bandit Hutouman. The key is, has this Yang Mang also turned into a ghoul?
In a place like the Southern Territory where Yin Qi condenses, if Yang Mang, a third-level warrior during his lifetime, turned into a corpse, how terrifying would his strength be?
They didn't dare to think any further.
Amu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "Even if these ghouls were tiger-headed barbarian bandits during their lifetime, it does not necessarily mean that Yang Mang has also become a ghoul."
"Be prepared for the worst in everything. This cannot be avoided by luck." Qin Feng said solemnly.
At this point, simply asking for help is useless. If the corpse king behind the corpse ghost is really transformed by Yang Mang, then he must have the combat power of the twelve god generals to fight against him!
He suddenly thought of the dream he had had a few nights ago, and he became increasingly uneasy.
"If I had known this would happen, I should have told the master before leaving. If not, I would have to explain the matter to Master Shi as soon as possible."
Thinking of this, Qin Feng no longer delayed, hurriedly left the literature room and went to look for Shi Ziming and his two men.
However, after meeting Sizheng named Li, he learned that Shi Ziming and his two men had already left Shuliang City and went out to seek reinforcements.
"Leaved?" Qin Feng's eyes widened.
Master Li said calmly: "Yes, I never expected that a corpse would appear in Shuliang City. I originally planned to send someone out to ask for help, but Master Shi and Master Zhang expressed their intention to go there in person.
In desperation, I can only agree."
Qin Feng raised his eyebrows: "Zhang Tiannan also asked and went together?"
Master Li heard this and nodded.
Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to be relaxed: "Then I'll feel relieved."
Cang Feilan frowned slightly and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Qin Feng's eyes without any trace.
Master Li asked: "By the way, did you go to the literature room of the Demon Slayer Department just now and find out the origin of the corpse?"
Qin Feng did not hide anything and told the truth about Hu Tou Man.
The man surnamed Li looked solemn: "I didn't expect that the zombies would be so powerful. Fortunately, Mr. Shi and the others went out to ask for help in time, otherwise Shuliang City would be in danger.
What are you going to do next?"
"The plague on the people in the city is actually the corpse poison from the corpse ghosts. Although I have removed the corpse poison from their bodies, I still need to deal with the aftermath."
"I would like to express my gratitude to the people of Shuliang City for Mr. Qin's great kindness.
It is still unclear where the corpses in the city come from, so just in case, it is safer for me to send some people to protect their safety."
Qin Feng immediately waved his hand: "As long as Miss Cang and Amu protect my safety, Shuliang City is short of manpower."
"But Amu's strength is low, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect you."
Hearing this, Amu on the side hesitated to speak, and finally sighed.
"It doesn't matter, I'm relatively familiar with him, not to mention that Mr. Li is in charge of Shuliang City. I believe that if there is any accident, the danger can be averted."
"In that case, I'll listen to you."
After leaving the Demon Slayer Division, Qin Feng's face immediately darkened.
"That Mr. Li is obviously lying." Cang Feilan said softly.
"Yeah." Qin Feng naturally knew that the other party was lying.
How could Shi Ziming and his two men leave Shuliang City to seek reinforcements without notifying them?
Zhang Tiannan, on the other hand, cherished words like gold, and could hardly speak more than ten words a day to someone he knew well, and asking him to speak was like killing him.
The man named Li obviously didn't know this.
But even if he knew it, Qin Feng couldn't expose it to his face, otherwise it would be difficult to control the matter if he broke his face.
"Master Shi and the others are most likely in danger. The water in Shuliang City is deeper than I thought." Qin Feng frowned.
"What should we do now? Leave Shuliang City and seek reinforcements?" Cang Feilan asked.
Qin Feng shook his head: "There is a high probability that we are being targeted, and every move we make is under their surveillance.
If you forcefully leave Shuliang City, you will definitely be blocked."
Master Shi is at the peak of the fifth level of Baigui, and Zhang Tiannan is at the peak of the sixth level of Shenwu.
Neither of these two people can fight against the darkness in Shuliang City. How can he, the fifth scum of the war, and Miss Cang escape from it?
Now, the only hope he can pin on is that Amu.
He must find a way to let Amu sneak out of Shuliang City and seek reinforcements!
Of course, there is definitely danger in doing this. After all, if Amu and those people behind his back are the same, it would be equivalent to directly exposing himself.
But he had no other choice.
Moreover, he was willing to believe in the somewhat thin and honest Amu.
Firstly, it was because of the tired figure of the other party who went to Jinyang City to ask for help for the sake of the people in the city without sleep.
Secondly, Mr. Li doesn't want Amu to protect his safety.
The enemy's distrust is exactly the opportunity to trust him.
However, he still had to test it out before making a final decision.
