The head of the black-armored soldier exploded, and blood worms burst into the sky, buzzing like flies, swooping towards him.
If you are bitten by this thing, you will probably have your soul devoured, turned into a body of flesh and blood, and become a puppet controlled by the barbarians.
"Pure Yang Fire!"
When Lin Tian saw this, he quickly opened his mouth and vomited.
The eruption of pure Yang essence turned into a raging flame, burning the blood-colored Gu insects until they squeaked loudly.
"Brother, what on earth is this? It looks so scary."
Lin Yu's face turned slightly pale.
This was the first time she had seen such a bloody scene.
"These are Gu insects domesticated by barbarian wizards. These black-armored soldiers are all controlled by barbarian wizards. Unexpectedly, there are traces of barbarians here, and even people within the black-armored army have been poisoned. The situation in the north is worse than mine.
I imagined it would be more complicated and dangerous.”
Lin Tian frowned slightly.
And with the death of these black-armored puppets, a sharp horn sound suddenly sounded over the town.
The ground immediately shook slightly, and the sound of dense footsteps came from a distance.
Evil spirits gather.
"The barbarian witches have discovered us. We should not stay here for a long time. We should leave first."
As Lin Tian said this, he picked up his sister and was about to leave.
But a figure suddenly appeared in the alley on the left.
"Follow me."
It was the middle-aged man wearing a hat from before.
Those black-armored soldiers seemed to be here to track him. Lin Tian originally thought that this man was some kind of bandit, but thinking that those black-armored soldiers were puppets controlled by barbarian witches, then this middle-aged man might know
Some clues.
Think about it.
Lin Tian didn't hesitate and followed.
The other party was obviously familiar with the terrain and had the experience of being hunted many times, so he quickly led Lin Tian and the others away from the pursuers and arrived at an abandoned manor.
"Tell me, who are you? What's the purpose of approaching us?"
After entering the manor, Lin Tian found an opportunity and bullied him directly behind the middle-aged man.
The Qi machine is locked, and the sharp sword light lingers on the fingertips.
As long as the opponent makes any changes, he will take action as soon as possible and directly hit him hard!
In this Baima Town, there are strange things everywhere, and there are traces of barbarians. Lin Tian has to be more cautious, so he will not trust anyone easily.
It is better to seize the opportunity and take the initiative in your own hands than to be plotted against.
"Is this how you Dahe Sword Sect disciples treat your savior? If it weren't for me, you might have fallen into the hands of the enemy by now."
After the middle-aged man was locked by Lin Tian's aura, his expression changed slightly and he did not dare to move rashly.
But there wasn't much panic on his face.
Lin Tian frowned slightly when he heard this: "How did you recognize that I am a disciple of the Sword Sect?"
Before he came, he had put away the emblem of the Sword Sect disciples and put on ordinary people's clothes. He just didn't want to attract others' attention. After all, he was going to the north secretly this time.
But unexpectedly, he was still recognized by this person.
"I recognize that jade pendant. It is indeed the prince's personal belongings. The prince has now joined the Dahe Sword Sect. If you can hold his jade pendant, you naturally come from the sword sect."
The middle-aged man didn't hide anything and spoke honestly.
Lin Tian didn't expect that the other party could actually recognize Chen Qingdi's jade pendant. Could it be that he was also a member of the Black Armor Army?
He couldn't help but frowning more tightly.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Fang Yunshan, and I am a black-armored military captain under King Wu of the Han Dynasty."
The middle-aged man said, taking off the bamboo hat on his head. He had a square face and a resolute expression, and he didn't look like an evil person.
certainly.
Lin Tian was not stupid enough to judge a book by its appearance, so he continued: "Since you are a member of the Black Armored Army, how can you be hunted down?"
"You saw it just now. They were not black-armored troops at all. They were just zombies controlled by barbarians using poisonous insects."
The middle-aged man sighed.
Turning his head slightly, he saw that Lin Tian still had a wary and questioning look on his face. He knew that this boy was too cautious. If he didn't make it clear, he would not be able to trust himself. He would need this person's help for the next action. He immediately
No more hiding it.
He said directly: "Half a month ago, a caravan asked for help from Far East City, saying that signs of barbarian activities were discovered in Baima Town.
After the prince learned about it, he took it very seriously and sent me to bring people to check. But what I didn't expect was that as soon as I arrived in Baima Town, I found something was wrong here. All the residents were controlled by Gu insects. We were ambushed and almost the whole army was wiped out.
.
Those black-armored troops you saw are now puppets controlled by the barbarians!"
Fang Yunshan's words were so logical that Lin Tian didn't find any loopholes for a while, but he didn't just believe him either.
He frowned and asked, "In that case, why don't you rush back to the Far East immediately and report the situation here to King Wu of Han Dynasty?"
"I tried, but for some reason, the Far East was under total martial law and no one was allowed to pass.
In order to hide my traces, I have given up everything that can prove my identity.
Moreover, I don't dare to go back.
Our operation to rush to Baima Town is top secret, but the other party seems to have been prepared and ambushed us in advance on the only way we must pass, which makes me suspect that there is an internal agent within the Black Armored Army."
Fang Yunshan said, slowly turned around and looked directly at Lin Tian.
Said: "If I want to harm you, there is no need to help you escape. The reason why I saved you and told you so much is entirely because you are holding the prince's jade pendant in your hand, and you must be his friend. Otherwise, even if you are
Even if you kill me, I won't be able to tell you these secrets."
After listening to what Fang Yunshan said.
Lin Tian shook his head.
There is no evidence for these things, so he cannot judge whether they are true or false, so he does not make any judgments.
After thinking about it, he said: "What you said is all one-sided words. I can't believe you. Maybe you are the barbarian spy? Of course, don't worry, I won't just kill you."
It just so happens that I also plan to go to Far East City, and I will take you there with me to meet King Wu of Han Dynasty. I will tell you if it is true or false by just asking."
Fang Yunshan heard this.
But he shook his head.
"Of course I'm not afraid of going to the Far East to confront you. I'm just afraid it'll be too late."
"It's too late? What do you mean?"
"The barbarians don't know what method they used to sneak into Baima Town and take control of the place. They must have some conspiracy. I have been hiding in Tibet these days, but I have also found out some information. They probably want to take advantage of the caravan to transport strategic supplies.
,Attack Redstone Castle!”
"Redstone Castle?"
"Well, that is the most important military fortress behind Far East City. Almost all the northern army's material reserves are here. If it is attacked, the 800,000-strong army will be cut off from water and food. The spiritual stone ordnance stored here will also be destroyed.
It will be destroyed. Without the reserve of spiritual stones, the Great Wall formation cannot be maintained at all and will be breached soon!"
Since ancient times, soldiers and horses have moved forward before food and grass were used. This is an eternal principle.
Those ordinary soldiers cannot be like warrior monks who go without food for dozens of days.
Once water and food are cut off, the morale of the army will be shattered.
In addition, without the supply of spiritual stone resources, the formations and magic weapons on the Great Wall level will become ineffective, and they will no longer be able to stop the enemy's large-scale attack.
"This is a plan to draw fire from under the cauldron. But how did the barbarian spies cross the Great Wall and enter the rear? One or two barbarian masters are okay, but attacking a military fortress is definitely not something that can be done by controlling some civilians, right?"
Lin Tian was confused.
From this point of view, Fang Yunshan's statement that there are barbarians in the Black Armored Army is probably not just random talk, there is some truth to it.
Maybe, it's the mysterious "No. 9".
"Red Stone Castle is directly related to the battle situation on the front line, and there is no room for error. It is indeed too late to go to the Far East to ask for help now. If what Fang Yunshan said is true, I cannot stand idly by."
Think of this.
Lin Tian asked again: "You just said that the barbarian wizards took control of civilians and caravans, and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to transport supplies to enter the Red Stone Castle to attack. Are there anyone from the Yunlong Chamber of Commerce in these caravans?"
"Yunlong Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in Chu State. It was authorized by the prince some time ago and is the main partner in the transportation of military supplies. They are the first target of barbarian control. That's why I said before that the person you are looking for has probably been there for a long time.
He died, and now all that’s left is his body!”
Speaking of this, Lin Tian actually believed most of it.
He immediately restrained his breath.
Fang Yunshan said: "Where are these caravans now? Take me to see them. If the situation is true, I will not embarrass you. But if I find out that you lied to me, you should understand the consequences."
This Fang Yunshan is not too strong, and his body skills are a bit agile.
His true strength is, at best, just entering the realm of true essence.
With Lin Tian's current methods, killing him would only happen in an instant, so he was not afraid of any tricks he would play.
"The reason why I saved you and said so much is actually because of this."
Fang Yunshan nodded when he heard this.
It wasn't until Lin Tian calmed down that he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I can see that you are very strong. To be honest, I alone can't stop the barbarians from attacking Red Stone Castle. But if you help,
Maybe we still have a chance."
"It's too early to talk about this now. Take me to see it first and then talk about it."
Lin Tian said and winked at his sister.
Although this girl is simple, she is not stupid either. She secretly activated her Yin Talisman power and followed behind. She seemed harmless to humans and animals, but she kept staring at Fang Yunshan.
If he dared to make any unusual move, even if Lin Tian didn't notice it immediately, she could take action to subdue him.
"There may be danger later. Just be careful and protect yourself. Leave the rest to me. Do you understand?"
Lin Tian whispered something.
Then he signaled Fang Yunshan to lead the way.
The three of them came out of the manor and walked through a forest. Soon, they saw a large caravan outside the town.
They were escorted by dozens of black-armored soldiers, and a line of dozens of carts, all pulled by strong monsters, were heading towards the Red Stone Castle dozens of miles away.
Lin Tian looked from a distance and saw the sign of the Yunlong Chamber of Commerce.
However, the merchants who were accompanying them all had small insect eyes left on their necks, and it was obvious that they had been controlled by the Gu.
