Since the duel at Yin Yang Peak, the dead have retreated six hundred miles away, leaving only a devastated and suffering land outside the pass.
The third battle of life and death finally entered a brief period of calm.
Although it is calm, it is only calm on the surface. In the past three years, the relationship between the living and the dead is still tense. On the distant line of life and death, although large-scale wars have not broken out, small-scale invasions and penetrations have not.
Everywhere.
Every year, countless exorcists die on the line of defense, and every year, countless ghosts are imprisoned in soul bottles and used as trophies in exchange for military merit.
Three years is a long time, enough for many, many stories to happen.
The Special Case Division officially issued an order to expand the military and established four exorcism corps: "Ping Mo", "Dang Kou", "Zhen Bei" and "Jue Hun". The original 1st Combat Brigade and 2nd Combat Brigade were disbanded and reorganized, and reorganized into
Special combat camp.
The four exorcist corps, with exorcist soldiers as the backbone, guard the vast life-and-death defense line. The special combat battalion includes exorcist heroes from three mountains and five mountains, and uses special operations to carry out various battles on the land of Middle-earth.
.
There are experts in gathering intelligence, infiltration, counter-infiltration, and dealing with dead people.
The most important mission is to catch all the corrupt evildoers who plotted to murder Zhang Wuxin.
Three years ago, Zhang Wuxin delivered the final blow, helping Commander Di Ming win the final victory. The Ancestor of the Corpse was so angry that he issued a killing order to the entire world of life and death.
If anyone can get Zhang Wuxin's head and three souls and seven souls, he can satisfy any of his requirements.
In the past three years, countless evil spirits have worked hard to achieve this goal and infiltrated into the land of Middle-earth. They were either in groups, alone, or even formed teams, looking for where Zhang Wuxin was.
Not only that, even some of the evil spirits in the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Twelve Cities of Fengdu are obsessed with wealth and want to catch Zhang Wuxin. Even some depraved evil people have gone deep into the middle-earth and lurked for profit.
Everyone can see that after the short-term peace, there will be violent storms coming to Middle-earth.
When the Great Dark Age comes, Middle-earth will eventually be destroyed. If Zhang Wuxin's life is exchanged for something with the Ancestor of Corpses, this is a temptation that no one can resist.
Three years of ups and downs and three years of forbearance will eventually change a lot of things.
Although the land 600 miles north of the Great Wall has been reclaimed by the Central Plains, the further north you go, the lower the temperature becomes. The snow here never melts all year round. Affected by the extreme northern ice sheet, even in the middle of summer, it still snows here.
, instead of rain.
Xilin Gol City, located behind the life and death defense line, has become the headquarters of the Zhenbei Exorcist Corps in the past three years. Three years of development has not only turned this city into a real military city, but also a settlement for countless exorcists and demon hunters.
land.
Hu Runzhi, who was ordered to do so at the critical moment, knew deeply that the four armies of Ping Mo, Dang Kou, Zhen Bei, and Jue Hun alone would never be able to withstand the invasion of the dead in the future.
If you want all living people in Middle-earth to have a way to survive, you must mobilize all the people and mobilize countless exorcism heroes.
Fortunately, the yin and yang of heaven and earth are reversed, which makes the physical fitness of the residents of Middle-earth become stronger and stronger, and more and more younger generations are learning ways to defeat demons.
Some of them have joined the four major exorcism corps, and some have become the core disciples of various exorcism schools.
There are even some who specialize in the business of licking blood for profit, such as spying on important information in the Arctic ice field, assassinating the masters among the dead, and collecting their souls and selling them to folk exorcists.
The Special Cases Division even has a bounty list, and the guys on the list are either extremely ferocious zombies or targets worthy of assassination.
Once you come back with the three souls and seven souls on the bounty list, you can get a large amount of money from the Special Case Division.
People die for money, and birds die for food. Most of those exorcists who yearn for freedom and refuse to join the exorcism corps have embarked on this path.
When it gets dark, the Old Shenmu Tavern in Xilin Gol City is doing a booming business. Because of the cold weather and the prevailing yin, the Shuangyang wine produced here has become the best drink for local people.
The exorcist soldiers who came down from the life-and-death defense line, the desperate mercenaries who returned from the arctic ice fields, and the demon hunters who came here to inquire about information all gathered here.
Once there are too many people, it will inevitably become chaotic. Xilin Gol City is under military control. Although there is chaos in the tavern, there are some people making noises and bad tempers, but there are really not many who are causing trouble.
Just when the crowd was buzzing and the music was deafening, a man wearing a cold-proof combat uniform and a fur hat suddenly pushed in the door. He was tall and tall, with a straight waist and an unsheathed saber hanging on his waist.
The runes are flowing around, and it's obvious at first glance that it's not ordinary.
As soon as he came in, he glanced around, then picked a table with few people, and sat firmly on the chair. The saber was placed on the table, making a gentle metal collision sound.
Although he was sitting, he remained calm and looked around sharply. A waiter next to him brought him a glass of beer and then respectfully left.
Everyone knows that these exorcists wearing combat uniforms are either exorcist soldiers of the Zhenbei Exorcist Corps or special warriors of the special combat battalion.
Xilin Gol City is the headquarters of the Zhenbei Exorcist Corps, and no one dares to provoke them here.
But after the young man sat firmly, a tall and muscular man wearing a heavy leather jacket came over soon. He sat down across the table and said loudly: "Qin Qi Zhang!"
The flag commander surnamed Qin nodded slightly, then glanced over him, lingering on him for a moment, and said: "Are you the best ice demon hunter in Xilin Gol City, Song Shiren?"
The strong man laughed: "Thanks to the love of the brothers in the circle, I gave you such a nickname. But let's agree first that nicknames are nicknames. We brothers admire all the soldiers who serve Middle-earth very much!
"
Captain Qin nodded slightly: "If it weren't for this, the superiors wouldn't let me give this job to you. But Mr. Song, let's put our ugly words first. Although the reward for this task is very high, if you fail, the punishment will also be very heavy."
Serious! If you have no choice, you have to go to the Ghost Prison!"
When the strong man saw that Captain Qin's expression was solemn and did not look like he was joking, he immediately narrowed his eyes slightly. He tapped the table with his fingers, thought about it carefully, and asked, "How much is the reward?"
Captain Qin said: "Thirty million in cash!"
Song Shiren smiled and said: "Chief Qin, we have been cooperating for two years. You know, money is not very useful in this world. Please continue!"
Qin Banchang snorted: "The economy of China and Turkey has not yet collapsed. It has even shown another form of prosperity due to the outbreak of the war! Thirty million, with your contribution to China and Turkey, is enough to establish a position in the First Research Institute of the Special Case Division.
Buy a lot of things that others can’t buy! Still not satisfied?”
Death Song smiled but said nothing, as if he didn't take thirty million seriously at all.
Captain Qin continued: "Okay, after all, this is a deal with your head in your belt. In addition to 30 million in cash, there is also a Green Lotus True Fire, which can burn all evil spirits and strengthen the yang energy of living people.
"
"The three drops of Styx true water that runs through the eighteen levels of hell. Each drop comes from Dr. Yu's scientific research team. After countless purifications, it has the most yin properties!"
"In addition, there are seven sets of new combat uniforms and the latest seven-handled rune swords! If you accept this mission, you can get the equipment tonight to facilitate your battle!"
Dead Man Song chuckled and said: "There is no need for equipment. On the ice field, the equipment of the Special Case Division is like a candle in the dark. It is easy to be noticed by those dead people. Those who work in our line of work are sneaking on the ice field."
, wearing your equipment, I just feel like I can’t die fast enough!”
"But this reward is really generous! Qinglian True Fire, tsk tsk, this kind of artificially cultivated Yang Fire, I am willing to take it out as a task!"
Chief Qin said calmly: "Although the rewards are generous, they are not free! If the mission fails, you will definitely undergo strict interrogation by the Special Cases Division, and you may even enter the Ghost Prison and use the latest soul-searching method.
, to detect whether any of you have defected to the enemy or are traitors!”
Dead Man Song said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, we all understand the rules! If the mission fails, we can just die on the ice field. In recent years, there are not many demon hunters who have lost their souls on the ice field?"
"We took this job!"
Captain Qin nodded slightly and said, "Okay! He is indeed the number one demon hunter in Xilin Gol City! He still has some magnanimity!"
He reached into his arms and took out an envelope, handed it to the dead Song opposite, and said: "Tomorrow at noon, in the No. 302 defense zone in the south of the city..."
Before he finished speaking, his face suddenly changed color, his outstretched right hand suddenly retracted, and his tone suddenly became extremely sharp: "You are not from Song Dynasty!"
Almost at the same time, the runes on the saber in Chief Qin's hand were flying around, and a buzzing sound could be heard, which instantly destroyed those external speakers!
Captain Qin took back the envelope, and the saber spun around in his hand. The blade passed by, forcing the dead man Song to take a step back.
There was a weird smile on this guy's face, and his voice was loud: "Of course I am not from Song Dynasty! The green-faced ghost king of the South Territory of Ten Thousand Demon Pit, I say hello to you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Yin Qi suddenly became strong, billowing, and instantly filled the entire Old Shenmu Tavern.
The commander of Qin Banner shouted loudly, his tongue bursting with thunder: "How brave! How dare you run wild in Xilin Gol City! Aren't you afraid of the 200,000 soldiers of our Zhenbei Corps?"
The dead man from Song Dynasty said impatiently: "Noisy! If your Zhenbei Army is really so capable, how can you let me sneak into it? Your surname is Qin! I know you are Zhang Wuxin's messenger! If you know the truth, give that letter to grandpa.
!I hope nothing happens to you tonight!"
Qin Qizhang laughed wildly: "Just you? Do you want to deal with Mr. Zhang Wuxin? Just dream!"
After he finished laughing, he shouted sternly: "All officers and soldiers of the Thirteenth Banner of the Zhenbei Army, listen to the order! Seal Xilin Gol City! No living or dead people are allowed to enter or exit! I want to see who dares to collude with the dead and leak military secrets!"
