Li Chengdao followed the ghost tire through the snow for many days and finally reached an icy lake.
The ghost fetus shattered the ice lake, the ice surface cracked, the lake water began to surge, and the ghost warriors at the bottom of the lake slowly surfaced.
Black ghost mist overflowed from the lake, and there were ghost screams.
Li Chengdao looked at his feet in horror. The number of these ghost warriors was about five thousand, which was not a large number.
But he could feel that these ghost warriors were all extremely powerful masters, and their cultivation levels were probably around those of Emperor Wu.
Five thousand Emperor Wu warriors are so terrifying!
The ghost fetus slowly fell into the snow, and the ghost warriors slowly swam to the shore, climbed ashore, and then formed an array.
Li Chengdao stood behind the ghosts and looked at these ghost warriors carefully.
Some of these ghost warriors were wearing armor, and some were just plain cloth. Because they had been soaked in water for too long, everything on these people had rotted and was slowly falling off.
It was freezing cold, and the surface of the ghost warrior's body quickly froze when he came out of the water. The clothes he had not taken off in time froze together with his body.
The faces of these ghost warriors were lifeless, and their faces and eyes were slowly freezing, including the weapons in their hands.
The weapons of the ghost warriors are not uniform, some are swords, some are hammers and clubs, they are all different.
Li Chengdao was very curious, are these ghost warriors alive or dead?
Can something like this be fought?
The ghost tribe that Li Chengdao came into contact with before was ghost fetuses and followers. These people looked no different from ordinary people, except that their heartbeats were slower and their body temperatures were lower.
But these ghost warriors in front of them were completely like dead people, lifeless.
"Holy Son, they..."
Li Chengdao wanted to ask if these ghost warriors were useful, but it was hard to tell.
Guitai said coldly: "They haven't woken up yet, and they can only fight if they drink enough blood."
Li Chengdao looked at the five thousand ghost warriors and said, "But Holy Son, where can we find enough blood sources? All the herdsmen seem to have run away."
The barbarian Shanyu Tuzhi was supported by Long Chen. The ghost clan in the north reappeared. Long Chen probably persuaded the Tuzhi to go south to Yanmen Pass.
As a result, there are simply not enough living people in the grassland.
Guitai sneered and said: "Run away? Do you think these barbarians trust Long Chen? There are always people who don't believe it."
"Let's go, wait until they've had enough to drink, then they can take revenge."
There were many tribes among the grassland barbarians. Some tribes were close to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, while some tribes were always hostile.
In this case, there must be some tribes who stayed in the grassland for the winter and did not follow Tuzhi to retreat to the south of Yanmen Pass.
Li Chengdao thought about it and followed the ghosts to the south to look for the barbarians who had not left.
The five thousand soldiers behind him moved very slowly, mechanically stepping on the snow, moving forward like zombies.
...
Dazhou, Guning County.
This place is 500 miles north of Mengling County. It is a small county town with Guandao next to it.
The four horses slowly arrived outside the county town. Golden Eagle stopped the horses and said, "Let's go in and rest for a while. Eat and drink before leaving Yanmen Pass."
Bai Wuchen was behind him, and there were two people beside him. One was a middle-aged man, who was the leader of the Iron Fist Sect, Tie Wenshan; and there was a woman who was a bit older, with all white hair, and this person was the leader of Bai Yufeng.
Monroe Ying.
Tie Wenshan and Luo Ying both encountered ghost fetuses on the road, bit their necks by ghost fetuses, and then became half-ghosts.
"After running so far, I feel hungry and thirsty. Let's go to the city and have a good meal."
Luo Ying's face showed a look of anticipation.
After becoming a half-ghost, the body temperature will drop, and the body will have a warm feeling after sucking blood, which makes people feel very comfortable and addictive.
Tie Wenshan smiled, looked back to the south, and said, "Will King Wu come after you?"
Jin Diao said: "No, he and the empress will lead the Long family army north to Yanmen Pass, and they won't care about us."
In the eyes of the Golden Eagle, he is just a fugitive in the rivers and lakes, and it is impossible for a person like Long Chen to keep an eye on them.
Bai Wuchen licked his chapped lips and said impatiently: "Are you leaving?"
The four of them slowly entered the city, and the soldiers at the door stopped them and asked, "Where are you from and what are you doing?"
The golden eagle smiled, took out some broken silver from his waist, put it into the soldier's hand, and said, "It's convenient for us to do business."
After collecting the money, the soldier smiled and said, "Go in."
The four of them entered the city smoothly. In addition to the people of Zhou Dynasty, there were also many barbarians on the streets.
Tu Zhi led the barbarians across Yanmen Pass and into the territory of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Some of the barbarians who knew how to do business continued south to Guning County.
"Dispersed or what?"
Bai Wuchen couldn't wait any longer.
The golden eagle said coldly: "Do you want to do it on the street?"
Luo Ying said: "Find an inn to stay."
The four of them found an inn, and the waiter came out to greet them enthusiastically.
"Will the four guests stay at the hotel?"
There was a war at Yanmen Pass, and the business of the inns in Guning County was not good. The waiter was very enthusiastic when he saw four wealthy-looking guests.
Jin Diao smiled and said: "Arrange four good guest rooms, which must be connected together."
The waiter immediately agreed: "Okay, sir, come with me."
The waiter led the horse down, and the waiter led the four people into the inn.
The lobby inside was very empty and there were not many customers. The waiter asked: "Sir, would you like to have something to eat first?"
Bai Wuchen said coldly: "No, hurry up and lead the way!"
The waiter took people upstairs and found four rooms side by side. He said with a smile: "Sir, you..."
The golden eagle threw a few big coins and said, "Go down."
The waiter wanted to ask how the four people could be divided into rooms. Jin Diao thought the waiter was noisy and kicked him out.
After the waiter left, the four of them entered the middle room, leaving the other three rooms empty.
"When it gets dark, go out and catch pigs and sheep."
The golden eagle opened the window and glanced at the crowds on the road, just like looking at pigs and sheep.
Bai Wuchen slapped his lips and said impatiently: "You still have to wait until dark? Just find a remote family and kill them all."
Tie Wenshan said coldly: "We haven't left the Great Zhou Kingdom yet, so don't act so arrogantly."
Bai Wuchen didn't want to argue, so he could only wait patiently in the room.
...
After Long Chen and Liu Hanyan came out of Mengling County, they chased them all the way north.
Long Chen had good physical strength, but after chasing Liu Hanyan for a day and night, he felt that his body was a little overwhelmed.
"Xu..."
Long Chen stopped, stretched out his hand to hold Liu Hanyan's horse rein, and said, "You should take a rest."
Liu Hanyan shook her head and said, "No, Bai Wuchen and the others ran away first. We can't let them cross Yanmen Pass."
Long Chen said: "How about you take a rest and I'll chase you first."
Liu Hanyan disagreed and said, "I want to kill Bai Wuchen with my own hands."
Liu Hanyan insisted on chasing and killing him personally, Long Chen said: "Let's take a rest, the horse needs to rest too." ⑧①ZW.????m
The two dismounted and took a break. Liu Hanyan drank water and ate dry food. The war horse also needed water.
After a while, Liu Hanyan stood up and said, "Let's go, senior brother."
Long Chen stood up and looked back to the south.
Liu Hanyan asked: "What's wrong, senior brother?"
Long Chen was a little confused and said, "Is someone coming?"
Two horses chased them from the south, and Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai arrived.
"Why are you here?"
Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai chased all the way, looking very tired.
"We want to see what half-ghosts look like."
Hu Feiyang stopped and quickly dismounted to drink water.
Long Chen said: "I am half ghost, what do you want to see?"
Qiu Kuohai said honestly: "I heard that Bai Wuchen was bitten by the emperor. We want to see it with our own eyes."
