The grassland was covered with snow and the wind was freezing. The blood cloud from the Corpse Mountain had not yet exhausted its power and even spread beyond the River Styx.
After I said goodbye to the two ghost kings who were unclear, I walked alone in the snow. With the last trace of hostility captured by the Yin-Yang compass, I quickly figured out the direction.
At this time, I was glad that I made a decisive decision and did not pay too much attention to the result of the battle between His Majesty the God Emperor and the Ancestor of the Corpse. Otherwise, when the last anger left by Yao Chongsheng dissipated, I would have been arrested even with Yu Buren.
Don't know where it is.
The short confrontation with the Corpse Ancestor left me so scarred and exhausted physically and mentally that I couldn't even perform the Shrinking Technique, so I could only take steps and run wildly in the snow.
This pursuit lasted for four or five hours. It wasn't until the white fish belly appeared on the horizon that I suddenly stopped.
In an abandoned village, the pointer of the yin-yang compass stopped trembling, but it was not that I found Yao Chongsheng, but that I saw a coat of Yao Chongsheng in a relatively intact house.
There was a thick atmosphere of hostility in the room, mixed with the smell of the true fire of the sun burning.
The blood on the ground was dripping with blood and had long been frozen by the ice, but the color was bright red, which was clearly left by Yu Buren!
I took a deep breath and figured out what was going on here.
After Yao Chongsheng left the corpse mountain, he rested here for a while. Here, he released Yu Buren, but he encountered fierce resistance from Yu Buren.
It's just that Yao Chongsheng was superior after all. Not only had he been on guard against Yu Buren's Sun Fire, but he also used some means to injure him.
With all the blood on the ground, the injury was probably not serious.
Yes, if Yao Chongsheng wants to learn the ancient runes, he will definitely not kill Yu Buren easily. But we all know that the old man is a character who would rather break than bend. Even if he dies, he will never let Yao Chongsheng learn the ancient runes.
Chance.
Now that he has been arrested, he doesn't know how much he will suffer.
I sprayed a mouthful of blood on the Yin and Yang compass, and saw that the blood seeped into a sponge and was absorbed completely in an instant. This is a unique method of our Yin and Yang shop. It can use blood to stimulate specific compasses and make the pointer move.
Sensitivity increased countless times.
After all, Yao Chongsheng stayed here for a while. No matter how capable he was, he would definitely leave clues.
But what surprised me was that even if I used my secret technique, I still couldn't clearly grasp the specific location where Yao Chongsheng left. I could only vaguely detect a general direction.
For an exorcist like me, having a direction is enough.
I put the Yin-Yang Compass into my bag and was about to gain strength to chase after me again. Unexpectedly, my feet went soft and I almost fell to the ground. I hurriedly held on to the table next to me to stabilize my body.
Only then did I realize that my body had reached its limit. If I didn't take a break, I might die of exhaustion halfway through the chase.
Thinking about it, I haven't had much rest since I entered the prairie, and then I was blown away by an indiscriminate strategic attack. My broken ribs are still aching to this day.
After finally getting through this level, I fought with the best master in the world, the Zombie Ancestor, for a while, and then used the Shrinking Technique to chase him for several hours.
Now, I have already reached the point where I have run out of fuel. No matter how strong my willpower is, my body really can't bear it anymore.
I sighed, threw my backpack on the ground with difficulty, and rummaged around inside for a few times, only to find that the water bottle was already empty and there were not many compressed cans left.
Fortunately, although this village was abandoned, that was because the villagers were fleeing the war, but the facilities inside were all available, and even the electricity was not cut off for a few days.
I searched in the kitchen and dug out half a box of juice frozen into ice cubes, a few packets of instant noodles, took a few bites at random, and stuffed the rest into my backpack.
After dealing with my stomach for a while, I felt refreshed. I found a small medical kit from the living room and treated my injuries.
After suffering from external injuries, internal injuries, and injuries to my soul for more than half an hour, I put down the needle and thread and lay down on the bed to rest.
If you don't rest, your body will really be unable to bear it.
Originally, I planned to only rest for half an hour and then seize the time to catch up with Yao Chongsheng. Who would have thought that sometimes when people are extremely tired, they can't remember the time at all.
When I was startled and jumped out of bed, I realized that I had slept for more than two hours.
This was already an hour and a half longer than I expected!
I wiped my face carelessly, without saying a word, picked up the package and rushed out of the house. I saw that there were still thick clouds outside the house, and the wind was freezing. Although it was daytime, the sunlight could not penetrate the thick dark clouds at all.
The village was still quiet, only the sound of howling wind and snow could be heard in the distance. There were a few cars parked on the street, but with this kind of weather and such roads, it was really an unwise idea to drive.
So I gritted my teeth and ran again in the direction I had detected earlier.
This pursuit lasted several hours despite the wind and snow.
In fact, until now, I already know that with my current speed, it is basically a dream to catch up with Yao Chongsheng. But I have other ideas in my mind.
First of all, Yao Chongsheng didn't know that I was chasing him from behind. As long as he relaxed for a moment, he might be approached by me.
Secondly, even if Yao Chongsheng knew someone was following him through some method, he would never force Yu Buren to question him at this stall. In that case, I would have been chasing after him, which would buy Yu Buren time.
Maybe Lao Yu was very alert and escaped Yao Chongsheng's control in advance.
To put it bluntly, although I am alone now, I still have the entire Special Case Division and countless exorcists behind me. As long as I buy them time, reinforcements will come in a steady stream.
No matter what, as long as I still have breath, I have to keep chasing!
I ran wildly in the snow, chasing from day to night, and from night to day. The further I walked, the thicker the snow became and the worse the weather became.
At the beginning, I could still see abandoned villages and towns on the road, but later, everything was surrounded by bare white snow. Not only was there not a single living person in sight, there were not even abandoned villages.
It wasn't until I passed an abandoned outpost covered in snow and saw a red flag standing there that I was surprised to realize that I had reached the edge of Middle-earth.
If you go further, you will have left the border of China.
I opened the electronic map and found that I had indeed reached the border. After crossing the boundary marker in front, I was in "Mongolia", which is known as a vast land and sparsely populated country.
Once I cross the border, I will be completely alone. Except for reinforcements that may come later, I will never get any support.
Thinking of this, I stepped into the abandoned outpost to see if there was anything useful, especially military cans or communication devices.
Most of the outpost had already been covered by snow, and part of it had collapsed, revealing several stiff corpses.
These corpses were all wearing combat uniforms, and the serial numbers on their arms indicated that they were border guards belonging to the 7th Company of the 302nd Regiment of the China-Turkish Border Guard Army.
I have some idea in my mind that a company consists of about a hundred people, distributed across a wide border, and has its own area of ​​responsibility. This post should be one of them.
The corpses inside were already frozen, with angry expressions on their faces. Opposite them, there were more than a dozen dirty zombies that had been beaten into sieves and completely scrapped.
It can be inferred from the scene that after the battle of life and death broke out, Corpse Mountain chose the prairie as the breakthrough point, which must be the key area for the dead people to attack.
The soldiers at this outpost were attacked by evil spirits. After killing more than a dozen zombies, the evil spirits took advantage of them and swept away three souls and seven souls, leaving behind their own bodies.
At that time, there were wars everywhere, and there were quite a few border guards who died in the occupied areas. But they also delayed a lot of time for the battle of life and death.
It was this little time that gave the Special Cases Division time to form the 1st and 2nd combat brigades in the rear and stabilize their position.
It can be said that it was because of their sacrifice that the Special Cases Division set the Qilian Mountains as its boundary and saved countless living people in the rear.
I saluted these frozen warriors, and then recited the Rebirth Mantra in a low voice. If their three souls and seven souls were not swallowed by the evil ghosts, they would have the opportunity to turn into heroic spirits and enter the exorcism in the underground world.
Magic city.
When the time comes, they will choose to rest in peace or continue fighting for the country. It is better than freezing here.
As for those dirty zombies that were beaten into a sieve, I threw a little bit of real sun fire at them, and the flames immediately burned, burning the corpses into ashes.
After cleaning up the surrounding zombies, I searched the outpost for a while. Unfortunately, the communicator here could not withstand the cold weather and could not be used normally.
But I found some military compressed cans frozen into ice cubes. With these food, I had the confidence to enter the snowfield alone and continue chasing.
Even if I chase him to the end of the world, I will catch Yao Chongsheng!
I didn't stay in the post for long. After I brought out all the useful things, I stamped my feet slightly, and the entire post suddenly collapsed, burying the bodies of several soldiers.
Then I raised the red flag and with a little force on my hand, the flagpole was deeply inserted into the ruins, forming a simple grave.
I bowed under the red flag to express my respect for the soldiers, then put the package away and crossed the border between the two countries without looking back.
What will greet me will be a country completely occupied by the dead, a paradise of lonely ghosts, zombies and monsters.
But there was no fear in my heart. Not to mention that it was just a small enemy-occupied area. Even if it was a mountain of corpses, I could not escape from it unharmed.
