A heavy rain fell quietly on the northern plains. After a night, the heavy rain stopped.
Under the early morning light, a beautiful rainbow formed in the sky.
Three days have passed since the Northern Territory Army set off.
At this moment, the Northern Army is still only two days away from the Eastern Mountains.
Long Chenfeng led the millions-strong Northern Territory army and continued to advance forward.
But every soldier had a frown on his face, and there were extremely serious dark circles under his eyes.
Everyone's eyes were full of fear.
At the place where they camped, Long Yuxi, Lin Yun and Xiao Yin all looked at the corpses spread out in front of them with dark faces.
"Twelve thousand..." Xiao Yin couldn't believe what he saw, because the number placed in front of them was twice that of yesterday.
Twelve thousand soldiers died in one night.
The state of death today was exactly the same as the state of death two days ago, with no difference at all.
Although it was still Long Chenfeng who calmed down the morale of the army today, it was obvious that the effect was not as good as every time.
The current soldiers are at an unprecedented low level, and even the captain of the Martial Emperor Realm feels a trace of fear.
"Last night, the three of us guarded the mountain together. We didn't sleep all night, and we didn't notice anyone else entering." Long Yuxi said through gritted teeth.
After Lin Yun's arrangements yesterday, the three of them stayed near the military camp all night.
The three top experts in the Northern Territory were guarding the place all night long. Let alone one person, even a fly flying in would not be able to escape their eyes.
But murderers can kill people under their eyes no matter what.
You must know that the three of them are all top masters in the Martial Emperor realm, and they can kill people quietly under their noses. Thinking about it, it is a bit scary.
Lin Yun squatted down, stood next to a corpse, and said calmly, "Twelve thousand people died, King Wu had six thousand people, and there were even dozens of Wu Zong."
"According to Brother Lin Yun's inference, we are getting closer and closer to this person now." Long Yuxi took a breath of air.
They gathered the entire Northern Territory army and gathered 1,200 Wuzong.
An army of millions, nearly 20,000 people died in just three days.
Although these 20,000 people seemed like a drop in the ocean in the vast army, there were still more than twenty days until they reached the headquarters of the Assassination Society.
"Can the cause of death be found out?" Xiao Yin asked.
If they could find out why these people died, at least they could think of ways to deal with it.
But the key point is now that three days have passed and they still don't know how these people died.
"If there is nothing wrong with the appearance and the internal organs of the body, then the only cause of death is this." Lin Yun pointed at the head of the corpse and at the same time injected a trace of spiritual consciousness into the corpse.
After a long time, Lin Yun stood up. Long Yuxi and Xiao Yin looked at Lin Yun, hoping to get an answer.
Lin Yun frowned, looking a little distressed, and said loudly, "It's strange."
"Why is it so strange?" they both asked in unison.
"Their internal organs were not damaged in any way, but I feel like they suffered a 'mental attack'." Lin Yun explained.
"Psychic attack?" Long Yuxi and Xiao Yin looked at Lin Yun in disbelief with shock on their faces.
Long Yuxi himself is a master of illusion, and it is indeed somewhat similar to mental attacks.
And it is true that the death conditions of these people are very much caused by illusions.
But Long Yuxi still had his doubts in his heart, and asked in confusion, "But even a strong man in the Martial Emperor realm cannot use such a wide range of divine attacks to attack tens of thousands of people at the same time."
"And this kind of large-scale divine attack will definitely affect the surrounding space, but the three of us were together last night and didn't find anything."
Lin Yun nodded in agreement.
After all, he is also a master of using divine attacks. With such a large-scale divine attack ability, coupled with the deliberate selection of candidates, the noise created must be considerable.
But even he didn't feel it.
Lin Yun shook his head, looked forward, and said calmly, "Let's see in a few days."
At this time, Long Chenfeng suddenly flew back from a distance, bringing someone with him.
When the two of them landed, they saw Long Chenfeng leading a soldier.
"Three of you, this person said he has something important to report." Long Chenfeng grabbed the soldier captain behind him and brought him in front of him.
Just when he was leading the army forward, the soldier captain suddenly found him and said that he had something important to report to the commander. Then he took this man back to Lin Yun and the others.
"What's going on?" Long Yuxi looked at the soldier commander with a dark face.
Unexpectedly, when the soldier commander heard Long Yuxi's question, his eyes turned red. After wiping away his tears, he said, "Commander... last night..."
The soldier captain told Long Yuxi and the others exactly what happened last night.
It turned out that this soldier captain was King Wu who was responsible for guarding the tent at night.
"Last night, my brother said he was too sleepy, so he fell asleep in the middle of the night."
"My brother's snoring was so loud that almost everyone in the tent could hear it."
"But at midnight last night, my brother suddenly screamed and kept shouting, 'Don't kill me, don't kill me'."
"I originally thought he was having a nightmare, so I planned to wake him up."
"But after pushing him for a while, he didn't respond at all."
"Wait until this morning, and he will..."
The soldier captain pointed to a corpse on the ground and lamented.
Afterwards, Long Yuxi asked a few more questions and asked Long Chenfeng to take the soldier captain and leave first.
"Brother Lin Yun, what do you think?" Long Yuxi was very puzzled, what exactly is this method?
"Killing people in their sleep." After a long time, Lin Yun raised his head and looked at Long Yuxi.
"Killing people in their sleep?" Xiao Yin was a little confused.
Lin Yun nodded and explained, "Theoretically, dreams are a dual space of existence, and what happens in them will not affect the real world."
"But the abilities of some martial spirits can enter people's dreams through brain waves, thus becoming a 'dual body'."
"Moreover, such a binary is extremely good at mental attacks. If it is killed in a dream, it will instantly destroy all the brain cells of people in reality and lead to brain death, just like they are now."
Lin Yun had heard of such abilities in his previous life, but he never expected that there would be people in the Assassination Club who possessed such martial spirits.
"In that case, shall we three go to Dreamland to find him tonight?" Long Yuxi asked.
