"Just say whatever the gentleman asks you. If you dare to talk nonsense or deliberately mislead, your life will be in danger."
Wei Sihao looked at the upside-down man coldly and said harshly.
Hearing this, the man suddenly trembled slightly and nodded.
If someone else threatened him, he would never listen, but when Wei Sihao said this, he didn't dare not listen.
Even the most ruthless person in the Valley of Evil would probably not dare to be arrogant in front of him.
This zombie seems to be the ancestor of the Valley of the Wicked. Anyone who wants to be arrogant in front of him must be prepared to be killed.
"Master, I know everything you want to ask."
The Hanged Man said cautiously.
Zhang Hao looked at this person and pointed to the mountain road ahead.
"How many lairs are there in the Valley of the Wicked?"
Along the way, Zhang Hao didn't find any pairs of lairs, but only found a few places used as deceptions.
If these people were just fugitives hiding in the mountains, he could understand it, but these people were extremely vicious people who controlled several smuggling channels in the border areas and even suppressed the officialdom for decades.
Being able to do this is enough to show how strong these people are.
They appeared extremely well-behaved in front of him and Wei Sihao, just because Wei Sihao and he had conquered these people, it didn't mean that they were really honest.
“Boss, actually we don’t have a so-called hometown. We all have today and no tomorrow, and we have always lived in different places.
Anyway, there are plenty of places in this mountain. If you find a place without mosquitoes, you can just lie down and sleep. It’s not just me, but even the king of the mountain does this. ”
The Upside Down Man said honestly, with an innocent look on his face.
Hearing this, Zhang Hao frowned immediately, thinking that this person was dishonest and lying.
A trace of earth vein energy appeared on his fingertips. As Zhang Hao muttered words, the earth vein energy suddenly amplified and gradually wrapped around the palm of his hand.
When the Hanged Man saw this, he was trembling with fear.
He had never seen such strong earth energy.
Who is this person in front of me, and why is he so terrifying?
"If you dare to lie to me again, I will smash you into dust."
Zhang Hao said lightly.
The energy of the earth's veins is the root of all evil spirits. As long as he has a thought, this upside-down evil man will turn into dust all over the sky.
But after hearing this, the Hanged Man once again looked horrified and kowtowed frantically.
He did not dare to doubt Zhang Hao's strength at all.
He may not be able to withstand such a strong earth energy energy even if it just hits him with any special means.
The energy of the earth's veins is just an ordinary breath to Zhang Hao, but to him, it is no less than the treasure of heaven and earth.
But as the saying goes, biting off more than you can chew is too much.
Once too much is absorbed, the violent backlash caused by this substance is unparalleled by ordinary people.
Even the inheritors of Hidden Dragon Mountain cannot withstand the backlash of the energy of the earth, let alone those from outside.
After a while, Zhang Hao finally asked the Hanged Man about the true appearance of the Valley of the Evil.
The Valley of the Wicked is just a short name. Inside the Valley of the Wicked, there are a total of three mountains.
Mountain King, Sea King, and Zombie King.
The Mountain King is in charge of mountain road inheritance and smuggling channels, and the Sea King is in charge of sea routes and smuggling channels.
These two channels respectively represent the two forces on the border. One sneaks through the mountain road and leaves the border to go to other countries.
The other goes to several neighboring small island countries through sea routes.
There is no so-called advantage or disadvantage between the two routes, they are just different choices.
Either way is extremely dangerous, with a narrow escape from death.
Even if it's safe, you still have to be skinned when crossing the road.
The so-called mountain roads and sea roads are just channels for the two kings to make money. After taking control of the mountain roads and sea roads, what they really want is the treasures looted from various places.
Desperate people are generally people who cherish their lives and are willing to hand over anything in order to survive.
When families are broken up and people are dying, there are still people who give up their lives rather than their wealth.
But those who escape generally regard life as the most important thing.
Zhang Hao was not interested in how much money the two kings took. What he was interested in was the zombie king.
"According to what you said, this person can refine dead people into living corpses. So, he has a inheritance of refining zombies, and you are one of his subordinates?"
Zhang Hao said thoughtfully.
Hearing this, the Hanged Man nodded one after another and looked at Zhang Hao in horror.
"Your Majesty, over the years, I have been forced by him to search for living people everywhere. I no longer want to do this business, but he controls my thinking. Even if I don't listen, he will forcefully control my thinking.
As long as the person who is restrained by him can't escape his control even if he resists. ”
After hearing this, Zhang Hao was thoughtful.
According to what the Hanged Man said, this zombie king is indeed interesting.
This person is in charge of a special inheritance. Not only can he control the minds of living people, but he can also refine the dead into zombies.
After entering the mountain, the desperate people he found seemed to be related to the zombie king.
As for the Mountain King and the Sea King, they seem to be from the Valley of the Wicked, but to put it bluntly, they are nothing more than a smuggling group that has gathered a bunch of desperate people.
Zhang Hao has no interest in these people, and there are official people to deal with them.
But the zombie king is different. This person controls the life and death of others, and uses zombie methods to continuously create zombies.
If he is allowed to continue to grow bigger, he will inevitably enter the mountains.
The reason why the people in the Valley of Evil are incompetent is not because they are not talented, but because the environment in which they practice is too poor.
Once they go to a place where the earth energy is abundant, they will be at ease.
One side is a desperate person without humanity, and the other side is a terrifying breeding ground that has absorbed the energy of the earth's veins for thousands of years.
The superposition of the two parties will produce a wonderful chemical reaction, which will amplify the strength of the practitioners here a thousand times.
If we can't control this zombie king, we'll be raising a tiger for trouble.
"Where is he?"
Zhang Hao said coldly.
After hearing this, the Hanged Man shook his head wildly and said in horror:
"Boss, the Zombie King never trusts outsiders. He takes the initiative to find us every time. We don't know his specific location at all."
"You still want to be cunning, it seems you really don't want to live anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Sihao suddenly snorted coldly and slapped his palm on the ground.
The ground suddenly cracked, revealing a large pit that was half a person's body. Wei Sihao opened his fangs and mouth and looked at the hanging man leisurely.
"My stomach is still hungry. I will give you one last chance. If you continue to play with your thoughts, this is your burial place."
The souls of the hanging man emerged and kowtowed desperately.
"Boss, I'm not lying. Every time we catch someone, we will find a nearby cave to hide. When he comes to find us, we will go to the cave to take him out."
"If we insist on a rule, as long as there are enough living people, he can be attracted to come forward. After all, he is practicing the method of zombies, and there must be enough living people to practice."
Zhang Hao and Wei Sihao looked at the mountain road at the same time.
There was still mist on the mountain road.
But this mist could not affect the gazes of Zhang Hao and the two of them.
Going up the mountain road, several figures were climbing hard, talking and laughing, and seemed to be discussing how to make a fortune.
It can't be such a coincidence, right?
They had just learned the clues about the zombie king, and immediately the bait appeared.
"Sir, it seems that these people will not die for the time being."
Wei Sihao said thoughtfully, looking at the men and women on the mountain road with a smile on his lips.
"Who is this zombie king? Can he make living zombies?"
"You are the ancestor of zombies. Have you ever guessed?"
Zhang Hao glanced at Wei Sihao and knocked out the energy of the earth veins.
The Hanged Man was slightly startled. Before he could react, the energy of the earth's veins was already on his body.
Only a bang was heard, and it burst instantly like an inflated balloon, turning into countless pieces of dust, and then dissipated in the wind.
Wei Sihao looked at the dust in the sky regretfully and said helplessly:
"There are many ways to refine zombies, and I have only learned a little bit about it. However, this person can not only control people's minds, but he can also refine zombies. It reminds me of an evil organization, Gui Chou Sect. ”
Wei Sihao said thoughtfully:
"When I was fighting in various places, I encountered a special inheritance in the southwest. The villages here were filled with all kinds of stiff people.
I learned about a strange disease from the local area. The villagers here are born with poisonous water and soil environment, so their bodies are stiff. After the age of thirty, they will definitely become half-paralyzed. ”
"One of them, a charlatan, although he didn't find a way to change the land, he found a way to make zombies and turned these useless people into a kind of labor force."
Hearing this, the corner of Zhang Hao's mouth suddenly twitched.
Even if Wei Sihao didn't explain, he could guess the horror of this method.
A vegetative state is a huge burden to a family, let alone in ancient times, even in modern times.
In ancient times, being unable to move after the age of thirty and having to be fed in bed was basically equivalent to a death sentence.
Even wealthy landowners may not be able to bear such a sick and injured person.
"The doctor relied on this method to transform people over 30 years old in the village into zombie monsters without consciousness, which were used to cultivate the land and maintain the village's harvest.
Other villagers moved to nearby barren mountains to live, thus solving the village's year-round misery.
Decades later, these zombies were gradually abandoned, and the villagers had reclaimed the barren hills and no longer had to live here. ”
"It is precisely for this reason that this person, also known as Guijianchou, is a rare miracle doctor. It's just that he is too deviant, so he is not tolerated by the right path."
"Later, I heard that he was also assassinated by a traitor. He hid outside the Jianghu and established a small inheritance of the Guichou Sect. But until I sealed him in the stone tablet, I never saw him again. Could it be that his inheritance has experienced After hundreds of years, it still hasn’t stopped?”
When Wei Sihao said this, he looked thoughtful again.
The Gui Chou Sect sounds like an evil inheritance, but as long as a practical person has a right heart, it can still benefit a party.
Zhang Hao sighed in his heart, his mentality was a bit complicated.
This charlatan was indeed an upright man, but his descendants were obviously not like that.
"For the sake of his ancestors, if he can still be saved, I will spare his life."
Zhang Hao said calmly.
Wei Sihao knew that Zhang Hao was giving him face, so he was willing to spare this man's life.
"Sir, you don't need to be too entangled. Hundreds of years have passed. There is no kindness between me and this person. I just don't want the other person's hard work to be in vain."
Wei Sihao smiled and said.
He and this person were just acquaintances between gentlemen.
Hundreds of years have passed and there is no fate, so why bother doing favors for his descendants?
The two of them were talking as they walked towards the mountain again.
It was extremely quiet on the mountain road. Because of Wei Sihao's sweep, there was no one everywhere.
Zhang Hao went into the wooden houses to investigate, but found that there was nothing useful in these wooden houses.
Sure enough, as the Upside Down Man said, these people in the Valley of the Wicked do not have a fixed residence.
The so-called wooden house is just a temporary resting place for them.
"Sir, what exactly are you looking for?"
Although Wei Sihao was not full, he had suppressed his greed after all. Standing in front of the door and looking at Zhang Hao, he couldn't help but feel a little curious.
The desperate people in the mountains are extremely cunning, as nimble as mice and difficult to catch.
It was useless to count on himself, he could only hope that Zhang Hao would take action.
After all, his zombie body is still too conspicuous. To the people in the Valley of Evil, he is like a flame in the darkness, too easy to spot.
Zhang Hao pointed to the layers of fog in the mountains and said lightly:
"These fogs come from the rotting atmosphere in the earth's veins. How many people must die in this mountain to create this kind of atmosphere?"
Hearing this, Wei Sihao was startled, counted on his fingers for a long time, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
"Sir, millions of people must have died here, otherwise how could there be such strong resentment?"
"You are thinking too much. There are only one million people in the whole border area. How could millions of people die just here?"
Zhang Hao said angrily, pointing to the ground under his feet.
"The problem here is that there is too much accumulated moisture in the earth's veins. This breath is the siltation of thousands of years, and these wooden houses are built just above these cave entrances.
These wooden houses are not used to shelter from wind and rain, but to suppress the moisture in the earth's veins. This must have been instructed by an expert. ”
Hearing this, Wei Sihao's eyes widened again.
There are at least hundreds of wooden houses like this in the mountains and forests.
In other words, all the vents here have been transformed into wooden houses?
"Could they do this to evolve the energy of the earth's veins?"
Wei Sihao rang for a long time and only found one reason.
Zhang Hao didn't nod. He didn't know the reason, but based on current observations, it had something to do with the zombie king.
This person not only commits indiscriminate killings, but also wants to transform the world. It is simply a crime that cannot be punished.
"I hope he still has the possibility of being rescued..."
Zhang Hao murmured to himself and sighed. (End of chapter)
