Early on the next morning, Li Mu and the others said goodbye to the old official and continued to march deeper into Zhou County.
The living corpses that appeared here last night were not a big threat. Even if Han Zhe and the others didn't take action, the practitioners gathered in the small village could easily deal with them.
The real danger in Zhou County is still ahead.
In the most serious place where the corpse disaster occurs, those who move in groups are not such low-level living corpses, but jumping zombies. Even practitioners with concentrated spiritual cultivation will be furious if they encounter them if they are not careful.
But at the moment, what Li Mu is worried about is not the threat from the zombies, but where has the courage in the zombies gone?
If he can't get enough courage from the bodies of these zombies, then his trip to Zhou County will not make much sense...
After leaving the small village, all the way forward were deserted and dilapidated villages.
There is no life in these villages. The doors of the houses are open, the roofs have collapsed, the walls are broken, and the deep fingerprints left on the walls are shocking.
Standing in front of this dead deserted village, Li Mu and others realized how serious the zombie scourge in Zhou County was.
Those larger villages are okay, but in small villages like this with only a dozen or so households, entire villages often turn into zombies. More than a thousand innocent people have died in this disaster.
When something like this happened, the county magistrate of Zhou County was absolutely responsible. He was dismissed from his post by the county magistrate and investigated, and the entire Zhou County was directly taken over by the superiors.
"Roar!"
A black shadow suddenly rushed out from the ruins and flew towards Li Mu and others.
It was a black dog, to be precise, a cadaver dog. Its head had been partially rotted, exposing its white bones. It opened its bloody mouth, spitting out a disgusting smell, and bit hard.
Xiang Wu Bo.
Not only humans can turn into zombies, cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs and other animals that have been bitten by zombies also have a certain chance of becoming corpses and turning into such bloodthirsty evil things.
Wu Bo alone was larger than Li Mu, Li Qing, Han Zhe and the young monk Huiyuan put together, so he naturally became the main target of this corpse dog.
Wu Bo snorted coldly, and Li Mu felt a white light flash in front of his eyes, and the corpse dog's body was divided into two halves from the middle. After falling to the ground, there was no movement.
Li Mu's eyes narrowed slightly. This fat man's cultivation was already at the peak of concentration. Although he was huge, his movements were not slow at all. Li Mu couldn't even see him take action. The little snake demon could escape from his hands.
Escape can be regarded as a good skill.
"Amitabha..." Huiyuan couldn't bear to recite the Buddha's name, looked at the two dog corpses, and said with compassion: "I hope you can be reborn in bliss and have a good pregnancy in the next life..."
Wu Bo smiled sarcastically and said: "These evil creatures have no soul and soul, and I'm afraid they won't be able to be reborn..."
Huiyuan dug a pit with his Zen staff and buried the dog corpse in it, and then they continued on their way forward.
Along the way, they encountered several deserted villages, but they were not as remote as before. The doors in the villages were all hung with locks. The villagers must have gone elsewhere to avoid trouble temporarily.
Normally, the people live very scattered, but the current situation is special. In order to facilitate management, the governor of Beijun issued an order very early for the people of Zhou County to gather together.
Except for the gathering place, there is no trace of people in other places in Zhou County.
Along the way, in addition to the corpse dog, several people also encountered several living corpses and a jumping zombie hiding in the shadows.
People with jumping stiffness don't like sunlight, and their combat effectiveness is stronger at night, so the strength they can exert during the day is greatly reduced.
Han Zhe used a magical power to separate the corpse, but he still couldn't induce courage in his body.
Han Zhe's method of summoning magical powers had made Li Mu envious for a long time.
Even though he has the cultivation of soul condensation, he can easily kill Jushen with that move.
It's a pity that even Li Qing doesn't understand this kind of magical power that is close to Taoism. In the ancestral court of Fulu Sect, only a few people can practice it.
Moreover, all sects and sects attach great importance to Taoism and will not teach it to non-disciples.
If you don't know the mantra, even if you know the gestures, you can't use them unless you search the souls of the core disciples of each sect who know the Taoist arts.
And this road has always been a shortcut to death for evil cultivators.
Not to mention that in order to prevent Taoism from being spread to outsiders, disciples who have been taught Taoism must not only swear an oath not to spread the Taoism to outsiders, but also learn to resist soul-searching techniques. If they take ten thousand steps back, even if an evil cultivator succeeds in soul-searching
, even after learning superior Taoism, it is difficult to escape from the pursuit of the strong men of the sect.
For the evil cultivators who killed the geniuses of the sect and secretly learned Taoism, the strong men of the six sects of the Taoist sect would spread their ashes.
Evil cultivators who don't have such thoughts can still survive by hiding.
Once they have this kind of thought and put it into action, their life will enter a countdown.
Li Mu no longer cared about Han Zhe's magical powers. Following the old official's guidance, the group of people moved forward dozens of miles and finally saw a large village.
The periphery of the village was surrounded by a stone wall. On top of the stone wall, a lookout was built at regular intervals. After Li Mu and others got closer, they discovered that there was a layer of glutinous rice spread around the stone wall.
Such a solid fortification is impossible for ordinary zombies to break through, and even the zombies can stop it.
"But Junior Brother Han?"
As a few people walked in, a surprised voice suddenly came from the stone wall.
Han Zhe looked up, with a smile on his face, and said, "It's Senior Brother Qin. I haven't seen you for a long time, Senior Brother Qin."
A man jumped down from the stone wall, looked Han Zhe up and down, and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Han has not seen me for half a year. His cultivation has improved a lot. He should be able to concentrate soon, right?"
"It's still far behind." Han Zhe smiled sheepishly, looked at Senior Brother Qin up and down, and said unexpectedly: "Senior Brother's entrance is very fast. I just focused on it last year. Now I can't see through it at all. I will soon."
Are you going to break through to the third level of middle school?"
"It's not that fast. I don't have your talent. I just practiced hard for half a year..."
Senior Brother Qin smiled and stopped continuing the topic. He looked at Wu Bo and Li Qing and said, "I remember you were practicing in Yangqiu County Yamen. These two should be Junior Sister Li and Junior Brother Wu from Ziyun Peak, right?
These two are..."
Han Zhe introduced him: "This is young master Huiyuan, from the Buddhist Heart Sect. This is Li Mu, my colleague in the county government."
There are seven lines in the ancestral court of the Fu Lu Sect. This time they sent many disciples down the mountain to quell the chaos. The ones guarding this village happened to be senior brothers from Han Zhe's lineage.
Several people walked into the village through the gate and saw that the situation in the village was much better than what they had encountered before.
The open space outside the houses was crowded with temporary straw huts filled with people who had temporarily relocated.
Although the people gathered here looked more or less tired, there was not much fear or worry on their faces. The high walls built outside the village and the practitioners stationed here gave them great security.
feel.
As Han Zhe walked, he asked: "How is the situation here?"
Senior Brother Qin shook his head and said: "Those zombies hide underground during the day and come out when the sun sets to attack villages where people gather. It's fine during the day, but at night, we still don't have enough manpower..."
Looking at Li Mu and the others, he smiled again on his face and said: "How about you stay here? With you here, there is nothing to be afraid of. Among the corpses nearby, except for a few powerful jumpers,
Zombie, the rest of the living zombies are nothing to fear..."
The situation in Zhou County is that the further in and closer to the county seat, the denser the zombies become and the stronger the zombies become.
The magical powers summoned by the Fulu Sect and the county guard, as well as most of the practitioners of the God-Gathering Realm, are stationed in the county town or on the outskirts of the county. In places where the corpse disaster is not too serious, a guard of the God-Gathering Realm is enough.
Wu Bo has the highest level of cultivation. In theory, the actions of several people this time will be subject to Wu Bo's arrangements.
Along the way, he did not exercise this power, nor did he raise any objection to Senior Brother Qin's ideas.
However, the quieter he was, the more uncomfortable he felt for Li Mu, especially the way he glanced at Li Mu from time to time, making Li Mu feel like he was being stared at by a poisonous snake.
Although Li Mu had nothing to offend him, Wu Bo was a person with a narrow mind and a violent personality. He could not be treated as an ordinary person. It was not a good thing to be targeted by a practitioner in the gathering realm. In Li Mu's heart,
We have already raised enough vigilance against him...
Senior Brother Qin led them into a courtyard and said, "I can only help you to rest here first."
Wu Bo walked into his room, turned around and glanced at everyone lightly, and said, "It's nothing, don't disturb me."
Han Zhe looked at Wu Bo's back with dissatisfaction in his eyes and said to Senior Brother Qin: "That's what the man named Wu is like. Senior brother, don't care, just ignore him."
Senior Brother Qin smiled and said: "How could it be possible? Junior Brother Wu is very talented and is the grandson of Elder Wu. He is a little more arrogant than ordinary disciples like us, so it is understandable..."
