Chapter 375: Dead corpses turn into zombies, cheating corpses
"I understand!" After a stick of incense, the ghost ghost closed "Dudu Hai Ji".
"Understand what?" Lin Shuhang asked puzzledly.
"This fleet turned out to be the expedition fleet of the Mengzhang Empire." Wu Gui said in a deep voice.
"The Mengzhang Empire? Never heard of it."
"The Mengzhang Empire was a huge empire that once commanded the world and made the whole world tremble!"
After some explanations from the wizard, Lin Shuhang finally knew something about the Mengzhang Empire.
It turns out that Mengzhang was a military empire that arose out of war more than 300 years ago. It was located in the desolate and barren western part of the Qingcang Continent. Before its rise, it was a tribal country struggling in the cracks of history. Its people suffered from the oppression of various ethnic groups.
They are humiliated, plundered, and killed by their own people, and are regarded as an inferior race by neighboring countries. They have been discriminated against and humiliated by the people of other countries for thousands of years. Their inferior status has been called "an inferiority that must be erased from history."
Race".
More than three hundred years ago, in the war-torn Western Continent, a figure with a legendary experience suddenly fell from the sky. From then on, Mengzhang began to rise and grow in the never-ending war.
Many years later, Mengzhang conquered the entire world and became the overlord of that era. And that figure with legendary experience was also called the "Scorpion King" by later generations!
…
"At that time, Mengzhang was the weakest country on the Lingqi Continent because his enemy was the entire world!
At that time, Mengzhang was the most powerful country on the Lingqi Continent, because the whole world was his prey!
It can be said that the world three hundred years ago was the world of the Mengzhang Empire, and the era three hundred years ago was also the era of the Mengzhang Empire!"
The ghost ghost sighed: "This is Mengzhang, a military empire that war can never destroy, let alone surrender! A legendary myth that history can never fade!"
"Compared with the Mengzhang at that time and the Central Plains today, which one was more powerful?" Lin Shuhang asked curiously.
"Central Plains?" Wu Gui smiled and shook his head.
"Can't compare?" Lin Shuhang asked.
"The current Central Plains dominates the spiritual continent and suppresses all countries. It does have strength that cannot be underestimated. However, in the eyes of the Mengzhang people, the Central Plains is just a frog in the well who sits in the well and looks at the sky. Because long before the Central Plains dominated the mainland,
, the brave and skilled Mengzhang Legion has already sent its troops to expedition out of the Lingqi Continent. As for the ancient Central Plains country, its army has not seen the appearance of the sea until now.
Mengzhang is different. As early as more than three hundred years ago, the soldiers of the Mengzhang Empire used their strength and bravery to conquer mysterious and distant overseas civilizations one after another. And those overseas civilizations conquered by the Mengzhang people
Pulling out any country in civilization can cause the current Central Plains to be destroyed thousands of times in a year! Who do you think is stronger and who is weaker between the two countries?"
"Expedition to overseas civilization? This Mengzhang Empire is really powerful!" Lin Shuhang said in surprise.
"Of course, I forgot to tell you. At that time, the territory of the Mengzhang Empire covered the entire Spiritual Qi Continent. The Central Plains was one of its territories, and the troops of the Mengzhang Empire were stationed in it all year round. The number has always been around three million. That's right.
Only after Mengzhang destroyed the country did the Central Plains rise, otherwise, how would the Central Plains be as prosperous as it is now?"
"The entire continent belongs to him? What a character!" Lin Shuhang sighed.
"By the way, Witch Ghost, why do you think the Scorpion King, who is so far away from home, sends a fleet out to sea for a long voyage?" Lin Shuhang asked with a frown.
"Listen to me and tell you slowly." After Wu Gui's detailed explanation, Lin Shuhang finally understood the purpose of the expedition fleet.
It turns out that this ancient ship fleet was the only expedition fleet capable of cross-sea expeditions on the Lingqi Continent at that time.
At that time, the reason why the Mengzhang Empire built such a large-scale fleet to sail to the sea was actually to obtain an ancient sacred tree - the black iron tree.
The black iron tree is a very rare and rare tree species. It is completely black and its wood is as hard as black iron.
There are books that record that the black iron tree was conceived on the day when heaven and earth first opened. Its life will not die for thousands of years, its body will not decay for thousands of years, and its spirit will not fade for thousands of years. It is an ancient sacred tree. However, this kind of sacred tree with strange properties has grown.
In another distant continent.
…
"It is recorded in the book that the black iron tree grows in a distant lost continent!" said the ghost ghost.
"Lost Continent? Why is this name so unlucky?" Lin Shuhang asked with a frown.
"Because the Lost Continent is not an auspicious place in the first place. It was a destroyed continent." Wu Gui said.
"A destroyed continent?" Lin Shuhang asked in surprise. He didn't expect that there was a destroyed continent in the world. If so, how was it destroyed? Is it a natural disaster or a man-made war? At this moment, Lin Shuhang became more and more curious.
stand up.
"Yes!" Wu Gui nodded: "The Lost Continent is also known as the Miracle Continent. It is said that it was destroyed due to a war between the Immortal Sect and the Gods more than ten thousand years ago."
"The war between the immortal sect and the gods? Aren't there only immortals in this world? Why is there an extra god?" Lin Shuhang asked in confusion.
Wu Gui said lightly: "Because the Gods were destroyed by the Immortal Sect along with the Lost Continent in that century war."
"The Gods were exterminated by the Immortal Sect? How come the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes? It's both the Immortal Sect and the Gods, and it gets further and further away! Oh, I'm confused, I'm confused!" Lin Shuhang patted his head and shouted.
The ghost ghost smiled bitterly and said: "This is a story with a grand background. It's weird if you ask me to tell it all at once and it won't make me confused!"
Lin Shuhang shouted: "Okay, let's not talk about the story between the Immortal Sect and the God Clan for now, let's continue talking about the sacred tree."
"That's fine, this story is too complicated and huge, so I'll save it for later and tell you slowly." Wu Gui smiled and nodded.
"It is said that there must be a giant spirit guarding the place where the sacred tree grows within three miles. The giant spirit is several feet tall. It is evil in nature and likes fighting. It lives in the forest of sacred trees and fills its stomach with the fruits of hundreds of trees. Anyone who desecrates the sacred forest will be punished no matter how far away it is. Anyone who touches the sacred forest will be punished.
No matter how strong the sacred tree is, it will die! Those giant spirits are the giant corpses we just saw." said the ghost ghost.
"This "Dudu Hai Ji" records that in order to obtain this rare ancient sacred tree, the Scorpion King ordered an expedition to the Forest of Giant Spirits with all the power of the world."
"Expedition to the Forest of Giants?" Lin Shuhang asked curiously: "Okay, why do you want to send a fleet to the Forest of Giants on another continent?"
"Later generations said it was for the purpose of building the Imperial Temple." Wu Gui said.
"In order to build an imperial temple, he actually sent his troops across the sea to attack the Forest of Giant Spirits? Isn't this Scorpion King too wasteful? Don't you know that war wastes people and money?" Lin Shuhang said angrily.
"But in fact, the truth is not to build some imperial temple as mentioned in the book, but to save people, a woman whom the Scorpion King loves most!" Wu Gui said with a smile.
"To save a woman? How do you know that the imperial army's expedition is to save a woman?" Lin Shuhang asked curiously.
"Actually, I'm not the only one who knows the truth. Have you seen the Navy Commander? He vaguely told the truth of the matter in "Captain of the Sea"." Wu Gui pointed to the weathered body beside him.
Mummy said.
"There is an original passage in "Dudu Hai Ji" that says this."
The witch ghost casually opened the "Dudu Hai Ji" in his hand and read: "Today, because the daughter of the god's descendant suffered a disaster, my emperor was shocked and wanted to save her, but he couldn't do it. He was heartbroken. Our ministers understand his grief.
For this reason, we have invited one hundred thousand troops to cross the sea and expedition to the Forest of Giant Spirits, vowing to use one hundred thousand flesh bodies to cut down three hundred sacred trees to help the emperor fight against the heavens, in order to repay the emperor's great kindness..."
"Three hundred sacred trees?" Lin Shuhang frowned and muttered, suddenly shocked, and thought to himself: "It turns out that the giant bow that the soul-drawing army built in the ancient battlefield site was the imperial fleet that crossed the sea to cut it down.
The sacred tree!
Strange, wasn't this in Xi Sisi's dream? How could he meet the Mengzhang Navy who was on an expedition to the Forest of Giants? This is incredible!
Wait...Sister Baguio said before that this dream is both real and illusory. Could it be that Wu Gui and I are in another reality now? How strange!"
"The Chronicle of the Dudu Sea says that on the day of the expedition, one hundred thousand imperial soldiers set out from Kyoto in a mighty manner. They climbed thousands of mountains, crossed thousands of rivers, walked through deserts, and crossed ice fields. It took them three years to reach the land said to be guarded by giants.
The ancient forest. Then comes a long wait..."
"Five years later, after a long drift, the first black iron tree arrived back home from the other side of the sea. Along with the black iron tree, a shocking 53,000 coffins were transported back!
That day, more than 50,000 pitch-black coffins drifted on the sea with the waves, densely black, one on top of another, just like the scene when 100,000 imperial soldiers went on an expedition eight years ago, the vast black coffins filled everyone
sight."
"A few months later, the second black iron tree arrived from the other side of the sea. This time, in addition to 6,000 coffins, it was shipped back with a piece of it, as well as a scarred giant corpse."
"It is said in "Dudu Hai Ji" that this was the first giant spirit hunted by the Imperial Expeditionary Force. For this reason, a total of more than 6,000 soldiers died in the fight. After that, thick ancient sacred trees were transported continuously.
After returning home, people discovered that there were fewer and fewer coffins brought back from the sea together with the black iron trees, while there were more and more corpses of giants. It seemed that the imperial expeditionary force in a foreign land already knew how to deal with these terrible things.
giant."
"In the twenty-sixth year of the Empire, the remaining soldiers of the Imperial Expeditionary Force cut down the last sacred tree needed to fight the sky in the Forest of Giant Spirits, and began to sail back home with the last group of dead warriors. Unexpectedly, on the way back home, the Empire
The fleet encountered a rift in the universe, and all the soldiers on the ship finally died of old age alone in a timeless world..."
"This brings the "Dudu Hai Ji" to an end." Wu Gui closed the "Du Du Hai Ji" in his hand heavily.
"The Great Scorpion King, the Mongolian Staff Empire, the Lost Continent, the Forest of Giant Spirits, the battle between immortals and gods, the daughter of the Goddess, the expedition fleet, what kind of complicated story is this?" Lin Shuhang muttered, lost in thought...
At ten o'clock in the day, Lin Shuhang was sitting on the deck of the boat fishing lazily.
The sea view cannot be said to be beautiful, but it is very shocking. It is vast and vast, and being in it can't help but make people feel lonely.
It had been seven days since he arrived in Xi Si Si Meng, and there was still no land. Lin Shuhang couldn't help but feel a little confused.
He looked back at the large pot set up on the deck. The water in the pot had already boiled and was steaming. However, he hadn't caught a single fish for half a day, and Lin Shuhang couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
It seems like I'm going to be hungry again today, Lin Shuhang thought in annoyance.
"Damn it, why is it so difficult to catch a fish?"
Lin Shuhang cursed angrily, raised the fishing hook and took a look, only to find that the bait was gone.
"What kind of fish is this? It's a thief!"
After changing the bait, Lin Shuhang put the fishhook into the sea again.
After a while, the fish on the fishing line suddenly sank.
"Ah! I took the bait!"
Lin Shuhang stood up suddenly and began to pull the fishing line hard. It was very heavy, like a big fish.
Now Lin Shuhang's Coca-Cola was broken, so he tried hard to pull out the thread.
"Haha, this fish must weigh more than a hundred kilograms! It's so heavy that it can feed you for several days! It seems that the saying of fishing for big fish in the long run is true at all!"
Lin Shuhang pulled hard and the big fish in the water struggled hard, and it was so strong that it almost dragged Lin Shuhang into the sea.
However, Lin Shuhang is not worried, because this fishing line is made of finger-thick hemp rope. Let alone a big fish, not even a shark can break such a thick fishing line!
"Yaya, come up here!"
Lin Shuhang wrapped the loose thread made of hemp rope around his waist, arched his waist and pulled it up with all his strength.
The fallen thread made of sail rope was pulled up bit by bit from the sea, and Lin Shuhang became more and more excited.
After a cup of tea, Lin Shuhang, who was tired and dizzy, finally pulled the prey out of the sea, but it was not a big fish, but a white carrion!
That's right, it's rotten meat! A piece of rotten meat caught from the sea by Lin Shuhang with a fishhook!
"What is this? A big white lump?"
Lin Shuhang didn't recognize what it was, so he found a stick and walked over timidly.
"Strange! What on earth is this thing?"
Lin Shuhang stood in front of Natuo's carrion and poked it with a stick a few times. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Why did this big white lump look so human? Lin Shuhang thought.
"Holy shit!" Suddenly, Lin Shuhang seemed to have discovered something, and jumped to the side with a yell.
"dead!"
The hairs all over Lin Shuhang's body suddenly stood up, and his face began to turn pale. He never expected that this white carrion was actually a floating corpse!
This is a chubby corpse. I don’t know how long it has been soaked in the sea. It is swollen like a meat ball and white. It is also wrapped with a lot of green water plants. You really can’t tell if you don’t look carefully.
It’s a creepy floating corpse!
The part in the sea hook made by Lin Shuhang with an iron hook was the mouth of the floating corpse. Due to the previous forceful pulling, the mouth of the floating corpse had been severely torn, revealing two rows of white teeth. It was precisely because of the sight of
With these two rows of terrifying teeth, Lin Shuhang realized that this carrion was a corpse.
"It took me a long time to fish out a floating corpse from the sea! Damn it, why are you so unlucky! Witch ghost! Witch ghost!" Lin Shuhang cursed and ran into the building in panic.
When he found Wu Gui, he was sitting in the study of the Navy Commander, reading various military books collected by the Navy Commander.
Since he had nothing to do in the past few days, Wu Gui tidied up the navy commander's study. As a living place for the two of them, he also passed the time by reading some military books.
I heard that Lin Shuhang fished out a floating corpse from the sea. The witch ghost was also shocked because the corpse was a dead thing and was fished out of the sea by fishing gear. This is incredible!
"A corpse was caught? Is it real or fake?" the ghost ghost asked with a frown.
"I'm going to lie to you! Really! I really fished a corpse out of the sea! It's still on the deck!" Lin Shuhang shouted anxiously.
"Come on, take me to see it!" Wu Gui put down the military book in his hand and stood up.
Soon the two of them arrived on the deck in addition to the building boat. The floating corpse was still there. From a distance, it was a large white mass, which looked quite eye-catching.
"Did you see it? That's what I caught from the sea!" Lin Shuhang pointed at the floating corpse on the deck.
The ghost ghost said nothing and walked quickly to the floating corpse.
After checking it, Wu Gui said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, this is the corpse of an engineer."
"Corpse of the engineer?" Lin Shuhang frowned and walked over.
"You see, this corpse is completely naked, and there is a toolbox for repairing the ship hanging on its waist. This makes it possible to conclude that this corpse was previously a sapper on the ship, because he unfortunately drowned while diving to repair the bottom of the ship, and then
You fished it out of the sea." Wu Gui pointed at the white floating corpse and said.
"Real or false?" Lin Shuhang asked.
"What do you think?"
The ghost ghost said nonchalantly: "Okay, I'm going back to my room to study naval warfare. Lin Shuhang, you can continue fishing. The water over there has boiled. If you don't catch a few fish, you will starve today."
.”
With that said, the wizard walked into the building.
Seeing that the witch ghost had returned to the boat, Lin Shuhang muttered and walked to the floating corpse.
"Damn it, why did something weird happen to me?" Lin Shuhang muttered and started to move forward to pull out the sea hook from the floating corpse's mouth.
This sea hook was found by Lin Shuhang in a warehouse in the building ship five days ago. It is a special fish hook with barbs. Once the prey is hooked, it will be difficult for the prey to escape. Therefore, it is quite laborious to pull it out.
"This is too disgusting!" Lin Shuhang frowned and dug his hand into the mouth of the floating corpse. But what was unexpected was that Lin Shuhang had just put his hand into the mouth of the floating corpse, and the corpse was drowned.
How long did it take for the floating corpse to undergo amazing changes?
I saw that the floating corpse that had been dead for a long time suddenly shook for some reason and sat up unsteadily.
Lin Shuhang was startled and jumped up with a cry of "Oh my God". He never expected that a corpse would sit up without any warning.
"Witch ghost! Witch ghost! You've faked the corpse! You've faked the corpse!" Lin Shuhang, whose hair stood on end, screamed and ran away. Perhaps because this strange thing happened too suddenly, the frightened Lin Shuhang didn't notice what he was doing.
The rope was tied, and with a "plop" sound, it tripped and a dog chewed on the mud!
Lin Shuhang was knocked upside down, his head was dizzy, and his eyes were full of stars.
"Whoops, whoops." There was a heavy breathing sound behind him. Lin Shuhang shook his head and looked back, and immediately gasped. Because the chubby floating corpse actually stood up from the deck at this moment.
!
The floating corpse covered in flesh panted heavily, glanced at Lin Shuhang with his empty and dull eyes, and then suddenly moved his fat body and walked towards Lin Shuhang step by step!
Because it had been soaked in the sea for too long, the floating corpse was covered with transparent mucus. As the floating corpse moved around, the foul-smelling transparent mucus continued to drip onto the deck, making a clicking sound along with the dull footsteps of the floating corpse.
The sound echoed in Lin Shuhang's ears, seeming extremely weird!
"Paralyzed! Don't come here! Don't come here!"
Lin Shuhang was really frightened when he saw the floating corpse walking towards him clumsily.
Damn, a dead body turned into a zombie? It seems that this man is really unlucky!
