Chapter 334: Volume 3: Tide of Corpses, Ambush
Sirian Chicken is a specialty outside the Great Wall. It means the same thing as the Sirius. It is actually a type of pheasant, but it has been given special significance by the Beirong people.
The Sirius Chicken Feather has naturally become the favorite symbol of the Beirong generals to use on their own helmet feathers.
Chen Huaisheng's words made Qin Shouzhong and the people behind him look a little nervous and ugly. One person behind him hesitated to speak, but Qin Shouzhong lowered his eyelids as if thinking about something.
Chen Huaisheng and Wu Tianen exchanged glances and remained silent.
They were basically certain that the origin of this monster corpse had something to do with Fengyi Sect or Zhai Gudao.
At least the Fengyi Sect knows some of the origins of this monster corpse, and the situation is probably not very good.
"My little brother's observation, analysis and judgment are indeed very precise. You can see such a mystery in the feathers on the helmet and tassel. It's not simple." Qin Shouzhong quickly calmed down and smiled calmly: "It's just this We haven't seen the demon corpse yet, and we still have to see it with our own eyes to determine its origin, but no matter where it comes from, since it wants to harm one party, it must be killed!"
Qin Shouzhong said it! Being categorical also made the Huluji group feel more at ease, and they all agreed and encouraged him.
However, Wu Tianen and Chen Huaisheng did not speak, and even the woman surnamed Ding only frowned in thought without echoing.
Easier said than done, it would be great if this demon corpse was so simple.
But this demon corpse has grown so fast. It was only discovered a month ago that it had Sirius chicken feathers, rotten flesh and new meat coexisting. What form has it turned into now?
Also, this is just a demon corpse that I saw. What about the others? Obviously there are other demon corpses, but everyone they see is already dead or devoured.
More than thirty people, including eight or nine Taoist cultivators and monks, can make one of these monster corpses grow so fast. How can a monster corpse that has tasted the benefits be willing to give up so easily?
After some discussion, the people of Fengyi Sect basically accepted the theory that the demon corpse might be a Beirong general who died in battle.
But the war between Beirong and Hebei happened hundreds of years ago at the latest. Where did this Beirong general come from and why he suddenly transformed into a demon corpse? There are too many things worth studying.
“But looking at the situation, there should be more than one demon corpse here in Huluji, right?” The woman surnamed Ding, who had never spoken until now, finally spoke, “To be honest with you, ten days ago, the White Tower Dadingzhuang, which is sixty miles to the west of the city, was also attacked by demon corpses. Seven people died, including one Taoist and a second-level Qi Refining monk. Six days ago, the village twenty miles away from Dadingzhuang At the foot of Xiaogu Ridge, a fifth-level Qi Refining monk and two Taoists from my Ding family were attacked..."
The words were like a thunderbolt, shocking everyone present.
The woman surnamed Ding glanced at Qin Shouzhong: "If I'm right, I'm afraid something like this should happen on Zhaigu Road. Since everyone is here to deal with this matter specifically, I think Everyone should be honest and honest, and it is best to explain the situation clearly, which will also help with the next step."
Qin Shouzhong's expression changed, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes. He didn't expect this woman from the Ding family. He actually knew the situation on Zhaigu Road. This statement meant something, and he clearly knew some details.
Thinking about it, the area controlled by Baita City borders Zhaigu Road. They are intertwined with each other, and many of them penetrate deep into each other's interior. Moreover, mortals have to move around for weddings and funerals. This information can be hidden for a while, but not forever.
Although Wu Tianen and Chen Huaisheng expected that the demon corpse had something to do with Fengyi Sect or Zhai Gudao, they did not expect that the woman surnamed Ding would directly separate the matter.
It seems that this demon corpse also committed a lot of evil on Zhaigu Road?
Seeing Wu Tianen and other people from the Chonghua sect looking over him, Qin Shouzhong sighed helplessly and said in a bachelor's manner: "Brother Wu Dao, I'm sorry, I didn't want to hide this kind of thing. I just wanted to After I have figured out the situation in Huluji and communicated privately, since the junior sisters of the Ding family have revealed the matter, I will not hide it. Since the end of last year, Ping'anpu, Da'an Ji, etc. on the north side of Zhaigu Road have Attacks by demonic corpses have also appeared on the ground, and there have been many deaths..."
"Mortal, Taoist or spiritual?" Wu Tianen asked directly.
"Both, a fourth-level Qi Refiner and a sixth-level Qi Refiner from Fengyi Sect were both attacked and killed. It's just that the sixth-level Qi Refiner was too old and had been living in the countryside..."
Qin Shouzhong specifically explained that it was a bit scary that the sixth level of Qi Refining was attacked and killed by demon corpses, and it would inevitably make people question the status of the monks in Fengyi Sect.
"In this way, in fact, this demon corpse or even a group of demon corpses has existed for a long time. Not only did they attack Huluji, but Baita City and Zhaigu Road were also attacked a long time ago." Chen Huai Sheng muttered: "I just don't know where the lair of these guys is, why did they suddenly pop up now?"
Chen Huaisheng's question is also on everyone's mind.
What is certain now is that this case of demon corpse is not one demon corpse, maybe not even two or three demon corpses. The specific number is unknown.
Is it gradually growing, or are these monster corpses taking turns to attack?
Where are their nests? Also its growth rate, and is it possible to transform because it swallowed the blood marrow of mortals and Taoist spiritual practitioners?
These problems are plaguing everyone, and if we don’t understand them, we won’t be able to deal with them.
"Brother Qin, Mrs. Ding, I wonder if the situation of the attack on your side is the same as that on Huluji?" Wu Tianen asked in a deep voice.
“More or less the same, more or less.” Qin Shouzhong said with a wry smile: “But what we saw over there were all corpses, and they all had their blood marrow sucked, or their five internal organs devoured...”
The woman surnamed Ding also nodded and said that she was about the same.
"That means that this should be a group, but we are not sure yet how many there are and where the nest is. So can the pattern of these evil spirits be determined?" Wu Tianen asked again.
When his eyes fell on the Huluji people, He Shengyuan said: "It will appear in ten days at the earliest, and five or six days later..."
< br>Wu Tianen’s eyes shifted to the woman surnamed Ding: “Mrs. Ding, where are you...”
"Yes, just in the past few days, only four days apart." The woman surnamed Ding was also very keen. She understood what Wu Tianen wanted to ask and answered immediately.
"Four days? Well, the most recent Gourd Collection was two days ago, almost. This means that the time has shortened again? Is it because the number of demon corpses has increased, their appetite has increased, or is it the speed of transformation? Faster?" Wu Tianen laughed to himself: "Brother Qin, what do you think?"
Qin Shouzhong looked gloomy and shook his head slowly: "There was a period of time, I'm not sure what it was. Reason, but if nothing happens, these demon corpses may appear in the Huluji area tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Wu Tianen heard the meaning of Qin Shouzhong's words and smiled brilliantly: "It is necessary after all. After meeting for a while, I will find out what kind of evildoer it is. Just hearsay is not the solution. Brother Qin’s intention is exactly what I want, so I will keep it for a while.”
As for Wu Tianen’s attitude, Qin Shou Center? Zhong Yekuan immediately responded with a smile: "I don't dare to ask for my ear."
Wu Tianen looked at the woman surnamed Ding: "What does Mrs. Ding mean...?"
"Then we also stay, we can't let these evil spirits continue to cause harm, right?" The woman surnamed Ding hesitated slightly. , but he readily agreed: "It's just that my little sister is a weakling, and she is no better than Brother Qin and Brother Wu. Please take more care of her."
Qin Shouzhong laughed: "How can I be the direct granddaughter of Master Ding? There are weak women who say that heroines are the right ones..."
Now that it is decided to ambush this group of monster corpses, the next step is how to make specific arrangements.
The Chonghua Sect has Chen Huaisheng, the Fengyi Sect has a ninth level Qi Refiner named Shao Mingquan, and the Ding family has Ding Runyao’s legitimate daughter Ding Xizhen. Naturally, there are three people involved in these specific discussions. Come take over and arrange the people from Huluji by the way.
As soon as they made contact, they felt that Shao Mingquan was a man who had experienced battles for a long time and his opinions were quickly approved by Chen Huaisheng. Ding Xizhen didn't say much and just nodded to express his cooperation.
Compared to the people sent by Chonghua, the Fengyi Sect is much stronger.
Qin Shouzhong is at the fourth level of foundation building, Shao Mingquan is at the ninth level of Qi refining, and four others are at the seventh level of Qi refining, two are at the fifth level of Qi refining, and one is at the fourth level of Qi refining.
The Ding family is slightly inferior, with only three people. In addition to Ding Runyao, who is at the seventh level of Qi training, Ding Xizhen is at the fourth level of Qi training. The other woman in her thirties should be Ding Runyao's personal maid. , the third level of Qi refining.
However, both the Chonghua Sect and Fengyi Sect know that although the Ding family seems to be weaker, their magical weapons are quite powerful.
Ding Runyao is a person with strong fire nature, and although Ding Xizhen has a neutral spiritual root, it can be felt that his spells are not weak, and most of them also have magic weapons.
In February in Hebei, the sun is shining brightly during the day, but at night, it is extremely cold.
Whether they are mortals or Taoists, they have already retreated to the bed in this weather, leaving only the dark and ghostly houses and tree branches trembling in the night.
"The inspection is over, is there no problem?" Chen Huaisheng chewed the edelweiss root carelessly, and the heat quickly spread throughout his body. It is not possible to eat this kind of fire spirit grass, but it is still possible to swallow some of its fire spirit power.
“Everything has been checked, and the spiritual symbols are all in place, and hidden talismans are used to cover them up. Unless the demon corpse is really psychic, or happens to encounter it, it should not be discovered.”
< br>
Although Sandeling did not chew the edelweiss, he felt extremely hot in his heart and even felt a little sweaty.
This was the first time he encountered, or rather dealt with, such a thing.
He was only at the third level of Qi refining, and could only compete with that maid of the Ding family, but this demon corpse had even devoured the fifth level of Qi refining. This state of mind mixed with fear, excitement and anticipation made him It's really hard to control myself.
Glancing at Sand Ling, Chen Huaisheng could understand the other party's nervousness at this time: "De Ling, relax a little. There are Master Wu and that Zhenren Qin. Do you really think that they are at the fourth level of foundation building and are still It’s better to come prepared. Maybe the monster corpses will be taken care of before we get close, so you and I can just go forward and pick up the loot.”
Sang. De Ling licked his bitter lips: "Brother, what trophies can be picked up from this monster corpse? You are kidding us."
"Haha, don't underestimate these monster corpses. They have been buried underground for hundreds of years, or even the year before last. If there were no magical encounters with spiritual creatures, how could they turn into monster corpses?" Chen Huaisheng curled his lips: "Maybe they are better than the monster corpses. It's still worthwhile to kill a second-level monster."
Before Sandling could answer, he heard a strange scream coming from the northeast.
This is the howling of a spirit sign. Only spiritual practitioners can understand it. This means that evil things such as monsters and ghosts are passing by.
