With a pale and thin face, dull eyes, and an aura of death all over his body, for a moment, the word zombie flashed through Feng Qingchen's mind, and then he rejected the idea.
However, Feng Qingchen can be sure that the living dead in front of him, even if they are not zombies, are made of poison. Anyway, these living dead are not ghosts.
The ghost corpses they encountered in the ghost forest should have been created using special poisons in conjunction with the ghost forest's formation. She had seen Feng Liyou use the ghost formation to deal with her, but it was not as powerful as the ghost forest's.
Feng Qingchen told everyone his conjecture, and everyone understood it after thinking about it for a while, and their fear of these living dead and ghost corpses was also reduced.
"Since it's not a ghost, we don't have to wait until dawn before taking action." Xuan Shaoqi glanced at Jiuhuangshu, who thought for a moment and motioned for Xuan Shaoqi to continue.
Xuan Shaoqi took a look at the living dead who dared not approach them because of the torches and lights, and said: "Although these living dead are not ghosts, they must be made from poisonous drugs. They hate light and are afraid of fire. We can try
Attack with fire."
"Light a fire ring first." Uncle Nine Emperors agreed without thinking. But before taking action, he asked Xue Lang, Feng Qingchen and the three most seriously injured people to stand in the middle, and lit a fire ring with them as the center.
There was a fire ring that could accommodate twenty or thirty people. When the fire lit up, the living dead swooped back a few steps in a frightening order.
"These living dead, do they seem to be soldiers?" The sky was too dark and Feng Qingchen could not see clearly. In addition, these living dead were dressed in tatters and dirty, and they had not touched water for hundreds of years.
It was so dirty that the original color could not be seen, otherwise Feng Qingchen would have discovered it long ago.
"Ghost soldiers." The Nine Emperors Uncle paused for a moment, and his cold face showed a rare hint of worry: "Go forward, there should be ghost soldiers."
It is said that the ghost general was a great general during his lifetime. After his death, he was so violent that his ghost lingered in the world.
Ghost generals have very high combat effectiveness and can even command ghost soldiers.
"These ghost soldiers are not the living dead, but the tomb-guarding army of the previous dynasty." Uncle Nine Emperor's face was solemn, and everyone's hearts tightened. Seeing this, Feng Qingchen pretended to be relaxed and said: "Does this mean that we
We have already reached the imperial mausoleum, and beyond is the cemetery?"
"Yes." Uncle Jiuhuang's face softened slightly: "Since they are ghost soldiers, there is no need to fight anymore. Tomorrow, we will find the ghost generals."
As long as the ghost generals are found and captured, these ghost soldiers will naturally retreat without a fight.
"It's just right. You can have a good rest tonight." Xuan Shaoqi lifted his clothes and sat directly on the ground.
Uncle Jiuhuang knew that Xuan Shaoqi wanted to keep watch for the rest of the night. Watching the night in the second half of the night was more difficult. Knowing Xuan Shaoqi's kindness, Uncle Jiuhuang would not refuse. He picked up his sword and walked to the fire ring.
"Rest first." These words were addressed to Shiba Qi.
Jiuhuangshu and Xuan Shaoqi would take turns keeping vigil to ensure that the ring of fire around them would not go out. As long as the fire did not go out, the ghost soldiers would not dare to come forward.
The two sides just faced off like this. After Feng Qingchen took out enough water and burning alcohol, he fell asleep leaning against the snow wolf.
I don’t know why, but she has been particularly tired and sleepy recently. As soon as Jiuhuangshu and Xuan Shaoqi refused to leave, Feng Qingchen fell asleep against the snow wolf...
Uncle Jiuhuang took one look and then looked away. After running around for a day, not to mention Feng Qingchen, even they were tired. It was a good thing that Feng Qingchen fell asleep at this time.
The spark bar squeaked, and the ghost soldiers stood quietly outside the fire ring without making any attack movements. They looked very harmless, but even so, the Nine Emperors Uncle did not dare to relax his vigilance.
Because once the fire goes out, these ghost soldiers will rush up and tear them apart.
The two sides just spent time like this until the sun came out the next day...
I thought that when the sun came out, these ghost soldiers would retreat, but I didn't expect that although these ghost soldiers didn't like the sun and were afraid of fire, they could still move under the sun.
"It's not a ghost after all." Xuan Shaoqi knew that they had no choice but to fight hard.
"We will cover you while you go find the ghost general." Xuan Shaoqi said to Uncle Nine Emperors.
There were not hundreds of thousands of ghost soldiers protecting the mausoleum, but at least tens of thousands. Xuan Shaoqi didn't think that the best way was for them to keep fighting until they found the ghost generals and asked the ghost generals to order the ghost soldiers to retreat.
"Yes." Uncle Nine Emperors nodded, and the long soft sword in his hand suddenly became straight and sharp.
There is no need for the Eighteen Cavalry to say more. Except for the three most seriously injured, everyone else rushed out of the ring of fire with their swords and slashed at the ghost soldiers outside...
The ghost soldiers are not phantoms or ghosts, they are living dead with real bodies. Every time they cut with a knife, you can hear the sound of bones breaking, but they don't know pain, let alone bleed, even if their hands and feet are broken.
, and can continue to fight, just like an unconscious wooden man.
"Cut off the head." Uncle Nine Emperors found the trick. After cutting off the opponent's head with a sword, he found that the head was gone and these ghost soldiers could no longer move.
When the Eighteen Cavalry saw this, they immediately found the feeling. They cut one knife at a time, just like peeling a carrot, and the number of ghost soldiers around them decreased rapidly...
Feng Qingchen originally wanted to help, but seeing how well they handled it, he didn't intend to waste bullets and stood in the center with Xue Lang, trying not to cause trouble to everyone.
The ghost soldiers moved slowly, but with the efforts of Jiuhuangshu and others, they quickly fought their way out.
"Follow me." The Nine Emperors Uncle rushed to the front. When Feng Qingchen and Xue Lang reached the center, the Nine Emperors Uncle raised his spirits, jumped into the air, stepped on the ghost soldier's head, and moved forward.
Uncle Nine Emperors was going to find the whereabouts of the ghost general. Feng Qingchen had no intention of following him, but for some reason, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. The token of King Feng Li placed next to him seemed to become hot in an instant. Feng Qingchen frowned slightly.
Frowning, after confirming that it was not his illusion, Feng Qingchen snatched the Eighteen Cavalry's sword without hesitation and said to Snow Wolf: "Follow me."
I don't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that there seemed to be a connection between Fengli Wang Ling and the ghost general. The ghost general was not far away, and these ghost soldiers were secretly commanded by him to attack them.
"Ouch..." Snow Wolf screamed in dissatisfaction. Feng Qingchen could see that he was slashing at the ghost soldiers with his sword, so he had to accept his fate and wave his claws to clear the way for Feng Qingchen.
"Be careful." Xuan Shaoqi took a look and found that Feng Qingchen was so tough that he didn't need his help at all, so he stopped meddling and concentrated on dealing with the ghost soldiers in front of him.
"I'll go in and take a look." Feng Qingchen said and walked forward.
Xuan Shaoqi knew that Feng Qingchen didn't like to cause trouble, nor was he a man who couldn't control things. She must have her reasons for going in at this time. Xuan Shaoqi not only didn't persuade or stop him, but also opened the way for Feng Qingchen.
Feng Qingchen moved forward without any fear among the ghost soldiers. Anyone who stood in the way would be slashed through without mercy.
In a sense, these ghost generals are no longer living creatures, but dead creatures.
Feng Qingchen, who was walking all the way, didn't notice that the ghost general blocking her would hesitate for two to three seconds when she appeared, and the ghost general next to him didn't dare to attack her at all...
