"Since these military salaries were robbed by ghost soldiers, let's just make them more like them!"
Zhuge Qingyun looked at the patrolling guards holding torches, with a smirk on his lips, and slowly raised his right hand, and a magic circle with a diameter of a hundred meters suddenly appeared out of thin air.
"Kakaka..."
At Zhuge Qingyun's summons, three hundred skeleton soldiers slowly emerged from the magic array, their eyes burning with green will-o'-the-wisps, and they walked with somewhat stiff steps as they surrounded the patrolling guards.
"Who is that person? Get out of here quickly!"
After the patrolling guard heard the strange "click" sound, he quickly drew out the sword he was wearing and focused on the direction of the sound with a wary face.
"Kakaka..."
Three hundred pale-white skeleton soldiers walked out of the darkness one after another under the horrified eyes of the patrolling guards.
"Ghost, ghost... the ghost soldiers are coming!"
Just when the patrolling guards didn't know how to respond and were so scared that their feet were weak, one of the patrolling guards suddenly yelled like crazy, turned around and ran away.
When the other patrolling guards saw this, they also woke up from the panic and ran away without looking back. They only regretted that their parents had not given them two more legs.
These patrol guards are all personal guards of the General's Mansion, and all of them are elite soldiers on the battlefield. If they are asked to deal with ferocious enemies, they dare to fight against them, but facing monsters like skeleton soldiers, they really do not have the courage to resist.
.
What's more, these personal guards of the General's Mansion also knew about Ji Wuye's robbery of military pay, and they also blamed the ghost soldiers of the Zheng State for this matter. Now that these skeleton soldiers suddenly appeared, they thought they were the ghost soldiers of the Zheng State.
I'm settling a score with them!
Although the guards immediately chose to escape, three hundred skeleton soldiers had already surrounded them. Before they could escape the encirclement, they were chopped into pieces by the swarming skeleton soldiers.
Under the secret command of Zhuge Qingyun, after the skeleton soldiers killed all the guards, they evacuated the 100,000 taels of gold hidden in the cave not far away.
When the skeleton soldiers carried the treasure chest filled with gold and disappeared into the darkness again with bursts of "click" sounds, the grass on the edge of the valley suddenly shook, and two pale-faced guards emerged from it.
The young guard wearing silver-white armor looked at the extremely terrifying darkness in the distance and asked in a trembling voice: "Old...Old Zhang, was my eyesight just now?!"
The big man with a beard, who looked in his thirties, swallowed his saliva and said, "The ghost... the ghost soldiers are robbing their pay, this... this matter must be reported to the general immediately!"
The reason why Lao Zhang and the others were able to escape was because they had just sneaked out to drink. After hearing the screams from the other guards, they sneaked back and saw the skeleton soldiers.
The story of the murder.
Originally, when encountering ghosts and killing people, Lao Zhang and the others would have run as far as they could, but as the personal guards of the General's Mansion, the lives of their entire family were in the hands of the General's Mansion, and they did not dare to go alone.
Escape.
What's more, this time Lao Zhang and the others were ordered by Ji Wuye to guard the army's salary of one hundred thousand taels. Now that the army's salary has been robbed, if the two of them suddenly disappear, the crime will definitely be held on their heads.
superior.
Now there are only two choices before Lao Zhang and the others. The first choice is to escape alone and sacrifice the lives of the whole family to save themselves, but they will definitely be hunted down by people from the General's Mansion in the future.
The second option is to quickly return to the General's Mansion and report the matter to Ji Wuye truthfully. Maybe he can still save his life.
Therefore, after Lao Zhang and the others discussed for a while, they finally bit the bullet, risked running into skeleton soldiers, and rushed back to the General's Mansion overnight.
…
Zhuge Qingyun didn't know that there were two survivors, but even if he knew about it, he wouldn't care too much. Anyway, he had been hiding in secret and commanding the skeleton soldiers to kill people, and never showed up at all.
If a survivor told Ji Wuye about the killings by the skeleton soldiers, it would just confirm the theory of Zheng's ghost soldiers' revenge, and no one would doubt him at all.
After Zhuge Qingyun put one hundred thousand taels of gold into the storage space, he rushed back to Xinzheng City on the Wind Elemental Falcon. On the way back to Xinzheng City, he checked the rewards for this mission.
The reward prop for this scenario mission is called ‘Ghost Soldier Token’, and its attributes are shown as:
【Ghost Soldier Token
Type: jewelry
Quality: Second-order bronze
Skill 1 (Ghost Soldier Summoning): Active skill, summons a Zheng Guo ghost soldier, lasts for half an hour, and has a cooling time of one hour.
Skill 2 (Ghost Beating the Wall): Active skill, releases a psychedelic array with a diameter of ten meters, which can enchant creatures whose strength does not exceed the second-order bronze level. It lasts for half an hour and has a cooling time of one hour.
Introduction: I heard that baby urine seems to be able to break down ghosts and walls. Do you want to give it a try?】
After Zhuge Qingyun checked the properties of the 'Ghost Soldier Token', he thought about it and threw it into the storage space. This prop was relatively useless to him.
If you look purely at the attributes of the 'Ghost Soldier Token', the attributes of this prop are quite satisfactory. However, Zhuge Qingyun already has the guardian spirit of Zhuge Liang. His strength and skills completely crush the Zheng Guo Ghost Soldier.
So this 'Ghost Soldier Token' naturally becomes useless.
"Is that firelight? Is there something hidden there?"
When Zhuge Qingyun put away the 'Ghost Soldier Token', his peripheral vision suddenly caught a light of fire, and he subconsciously controlled the wind elemental falcon to fly in the direction of the fire.
You must know that the place where Zhuge Qingyun is now is over an inaccessible mountain forest, otherwise Ji Wuye would not have been able to hide one hundred thousand taels of gold in this mountain forest.
In such inaccessible mountain forests, since there are fires, it means there are traces of humans, and these places often hide some interesting secrets.
"There is indeed a secret!"
When Zhuge Qingyun rode the wind elemental falcon and flew to the direction of the fire, he saw several Korean soldiers wearing armor from a high position, and he became more and more curious.
Although there were several heavily armed soldiers patrolling outside the cave, Zhuge Qingyun relied on his superb Qinggong and body skills to sneak into the cave they were guarding without anyone noticing.
"Isn't it too humid in here? It doesn't look like it's a secret base for storing food and ordnance."
After Zhuge Qingyun sneaked into the cave, he discovered that the cave was very humid and there were small puddles formed by accumulated water everywhere. He became more and more curious about the secrets hidden here.
