Strange mountains and rivers

Sirius chicken is a special product outside the Great Wall. It means the same thing as Sirius. It is actually a kind of pheasant, but it has been given special significance by the Beirong people.

Naturally, the Sirius chicken feathers became 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 the very least, the Phoenix Wing Sect knows some of the origins of this demon corpse, and the situation is probably not very good.

"My little brother's observation, analysis and judgment are indeed very precise. It's so mysterious to be able to see the feathers on the helmet and tassel. It's not easy." Qin Shouzhong quickly calmed down and smiled calmly: "It's just that we haven't seen this monster corpse yet. , you still have to see it with your own eyes to determine where it comes from, but no matter where it comes from, since it wants to harm one party, it must be killed!"

Qin Shouzhong's words were categorical, which 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 demonic corpse has grown so fast. It was only discovered a month ago that it had Sirius chicken feathers, rotten flesh and new flesh coexisting. What form has it turned into now?

Also, this is just a demon corpse that I saw, what about the others? Obviously there were other demon corpses, but everyone they saw was 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 been silent until now, finally spoke, "To be honest with you, ten days ago, sixty miles west of Baita City Dading Village near Dading Village was also attacked by demon corpses, and seven people died. One of them was a Taoist and one was a monk at the second level of Qi Refining. Six days ago, at the foot of the small valley 20 miles away from Dading Village, I, Ding A fifth-level Qi Refining monk and two Taoists were attacked..."

The words were like a thunderbolt, shocking everyone present.

The woman surnamed Ding glanced at Qin Shouzhong and said, "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. In the end, So that we can 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 that the Ding family woman actually knew the situation on Zhaigu Road. This meant something, and she 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 has 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 wait until the gourds are gathered here." After finding out the situation clearly, we communicated in private. Now that the junior sisters of the Ding family have revealed the matter, I won’t hide it. Since the end of last year, demons have also appeared in Ping’anpu, Da’anji and other places on the north side of Zhaigu Road. In the case of a zombie attack, the death toll was quite high..."

"Mortal, Taoist or spiritual?" Wu Tianen asked directly.

"Both of them are. 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 has been living in the countryside..."

Qin Shouzhong specifically explained that it was a bit scary that all the sixth level Qi Refiners were 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 they were also attacked in Baita City and Zhaigu Road." Chen Huaisheng pondered: " I just don’t know where the lair of these guys is, why did it 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 corpses, and they all had their blood marrow sucked, or their 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 we determine the pattern of these evil spirits?"

Wu Tianen asked again.

When his eyes fell on the Huluji people, He Shengyuan said again: "It will appear in ten days at the earliest, and then it will appear in five or six days..."

Wu Tianen's eyes shifted to the woman surnamed Ding: "Mrs. Ding, over there..."

"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, which is almost the same. This means that the time between them has shortened again? Is it because the number of demon corpses has increased, their appetite has increased, or the transformation speed has become faster?" Wu Tianen He smiled mockingly: "Brother Qin, what do you think?"

Qin Shouzhong's face was gloomy and he shook his head slowly: "There was a period of time in between. I'm not sure what the reason was, but if nothing else happens, these demon corpses may appear in the Huluji area tomorrow or the day after."

Wu Tian'en heard the meaning of Qin Shouzhong's words and smiled brilliantly: "After all, it takes a while to know the evildoer after meeting him. Just hearing about it is not the answer. Brother Qin's idea is exactly what I want, so I will keep it. Shou?"

Regarding Wu Tianen's attitude, Qin Shouzhong was also tolerant and immediately responded with a smile: "I have my own wish, but I don't dare to ask my ears."

Wu Tianen looked at the woman named Ding: "What does Mrs. Ding mean...?"

"Then let's stay too. We can't let these evil spirits continue to cause harm, right?" The woman surnamed Ding hesitated for a while, but she readily agreed: "It's just that my little sister is a weakling, not as good as Brother Qin and Brother Wu. , please take more care of me.”

Qin Shouzhong laughed: "Zhenren Ding's direct granddaughter, how can we say that she is a weak woman? She is a heroine..."

Now that it's 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, three people will take over the specific negotiations, and by the way, the gourd The people who gathered arranged it.

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 was much stronger.

Qin Shouzhong was at the fourth level of foundation building, Shao Mingquan was at the ninth level of Qi refining, and four others were at the seventh level of Qi refining, two were at the fifth level of Qi refining, and one was 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 refining, Ding Xizhen is at the fourth level of Qi refining. The other woman in her thirties should be Ding Runyao's personal maid, who is at the third level of Qi refining.

However, both the Chonghua Sect and Fengyi Sect knew that although the Ding family seemed to be weaker, their magical weapons were 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 during the day which is better, but at night it is very cold.

Regardless of whether they were mortals or Taoists, they had already retreated to their beds in this weather, leaving only the dark, 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 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. The spirit signs 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."

Although Sandeling did not chew the edelweiss, he felt extremely hot in his heart and even felt a little sweaty.

This is the first time he has encountered, or rather dealt with, such a thing.

He was only at the third level of Qi refining, and could only compete with the maid from the Ding family, but this demonic corpse had even devoured the fifth level of Qi refining. This state of mind mixed with fear, excitement and anticipation made him really unable to control himself. .

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 someone who is at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment and is well prepared is just a vegetarian?" If it doesn’t work, they might have already taken care of all the monster corpses before we get close, so you and I can just go forward and pick up the loot.”

Sandeling licked his bitter lips: "Senior 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 cost-effective to kill a second-level monster.”

Before Sandeling could answer, he heard a strange scream coming from the northeast.

This is the howl of a spirit sign, which only spiritual practitioners can understand. It means that evil things such as monsters and ghosts are passing by.
