Could it be that Yuechen chose to kill so many wanderers simply to satisfy his perverted desires?

I've seen the dead wanderers reborn as masked people, so I don't dare to rush forward now, and my fears proved to be very warranted, because soon I saw the motionless corpses on the ground begin to stand up one after another......

This is far more terrifying than the formation process of the resurrection corpse, because at least when the resurrection corpse is formed, except for the skin, other aspects will not form too obvious changes, but now in the process of turning into masked people, in addition to the grimace-like changes that occur on the face, the body also presents a terrifying and strange rickety, and the whole scene is quite terrifying.

In addition, there was a large number of strange howls at the same time, and I hurriedly retreated to the hiding place I had just seen, and began to wait quietly in the dark to observe.

In less than a few minutes, a large number of wanderer's corpses here were transformed into masked people at a rapid speed.

Unlike in the basement, I had only seen the Masked Men for the first time, but I hadn't seen how they formed, but now I had all of them in view.

However, although I witnessed the whole process, I still don't know the specific reason for their formation, because if it was just a corpse, it would not have simply evolved into a masked man, because if that was the case, then the resurrected corpses we saw before should not exist either.

Well...... Among the suspicious signs left near the entire summit area now, the most obvious point is the large amount of third energy that has spread in it, and this energy also exists in me, although I have forcibly released most of the energy just now, but a lot of time has passed, and I believe that new energy has been regathered in my body......

So...... Are these masked people really transformed because of this third unknown energy?

If this is the case, then are there any of these masked people who have been converted because of me, and can these masked people who have been converted because of me be at my command?

In addition to this, I must pay special attention to the movements of Moon Dust, from all previous indications, Moon Dust herself is also near this peak, if I let her catch it, the consequences will definitely be unimaginable......

At this time, the masked people who had just transformed had all "stabilized", and they began to slowly march towards the peak position in groups.

I immediately began to try to establish energy sensing with the masked people, and I used the same method as I used to lucid dreaming, but found that it didn't work at all.

This is also expected by me, because after all, they are two different energies, and even if the origin is the same, there must be differences in the specific process, and I am actually a bit of a rush to the doctor.

Since it can't be controlled in a way similar to lucid dreaming, it seems to indicate that the cause of these masked people has nothing to do with me, so ...... Eighty percent of these masked people are still related to those resentful spirits that flew to the peak! And if Yuechen is also involved, it just so happens that these resentful spirits are fundamentally controlled by Yuechen herself!

I waited until all the masked figures had disappeared from my field of vision, and then I dared to quickly follow and run to the position where the masked people had just "stood" to check.

Soon I noticed that a lot of slime began to appear on the ground nearby, but it was scattered, and it was not as large as the one I had seen in the room, and based on my previous experience with resentful spirits, these should not be the substances left over from the "death" of resentful spirits, but more like a little slime left behind after they stayed on the ground.

Maybe it's something they've left over from killing the wanderers here?

Now I was less than a few dozen meters from the summit, and I could already roughly hear the sounds from above, and I noticed that most of them were still the roars of the masked people just now, but there was also a strange wind sound mixed in, which sounded a bit like the sound left by the resentful spirits as they moved rapidly in the air.

Although I also have doubts about the situation above, I also know that Ouyang Shuo and the others below are still waiting for my rescue, so I can only continue to march upward.

But from what I've just done, at least so far, it seems that the main target of all the creatures here, including the Spirits of Resentment and the Masked People, is not me, but something else I don't know about.

As for the fact that I was attacked by the resentful spirits in the transit room just now, it is very likely that there are exceptions, for example, a few masked people there may have been killed by the nearby resentful spirits, and as I passed by, I happened to bump into them?

......

In addition to listening to the summit and nearby crests with my ears, I am also using energy perception to further confirm the existence of a third energy in the vicinity.

But what puzzles me is that I still can't sense this obvious energy, could it be because the phase between me and this third energy is too low, so that it can't meet the standard of perception? But why is it that my psionic energy and cold energy are suppressed now, but only the third energy still exists?

As I got closer to the summit, the scenery around me became more familiar, for I had been on the summit for a longer time, and I was now at the last barrier guard to the summit, where there were originally a lot of earthen forts, but I found that most of them had been destroyed.

In fact, it is not unusual for the fort itself to be destroyed, because I had actually learned about this situation long before I came, and now what really surprises me is that these forts are not simply damaged, and the main part of the entire fort has been dismantled, look at the neatness of these disassembly...... It's like someone premeditated.

I thought about it carefully, when we returned here for the second time to rescue Qin Yao from the location of the underground prison, I did see Zhao Youkuang retreat from the top position by cable car in a way that can be called "orderly", and contacted her calm and unhurried ...... I even have reason to believe that the batteries were simply dismantled and transported by her.

The more I thought about it, the more I thought it was possible, because since there were already wanderers left here, it shouldn't have been suddenly captured like now, and I should have at least seen a lot of craters or explosions nearby, but in fact, I didn't see any traces of earth cannons from the time I came out of the no-man's land until I sneaked to the top of the peak.

Although these earth cannons are not very powerful, it is still very simple to blow some potholes out of the ground, and it is impossible that there is not the slightest clue nearby.

In addition, I remembered that when we were walking in the underground and caverns before, we had never heard the sound of earth cannon bombardment.

From this point of view...... This place was actually planned to be given up by Zhao Youkuang, so why did she do this?

This is a very likely factor, because the battle situation is already obvious, it is very difficult for the wanderers to hold the defense line in the Qinhuai Mountains, at least in the peak area on the side of the headquarters is not realistic, because the terrain here is not conducive to defense, even if the peak has a natural danger that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it can be easily surrounded by the voodoo people, and then it can only be trapped on the top of the mountain.

So...... Zhao Youkuang is indeed very likely to have given up this place a long time ago, but she has been making a posture of defending the headquarters before......

I began to empathize, if I was put in Zhao Youkuang's position, what would be the reason?

I quickly thought of a very high probability situation, could it be that Zhao Youkuang deliberately set some kind of trap here...... So that her enemies could be caught in it?

But in this case...... Doesn't that mean that we are now in this trap?

As soon as I thought of this, I suddenly heard a scream from the top of the peak, followed by a second and a third sound in succession, and finally accompanied by the roar of the resentful spirits and the masked man who had just appeared, and the entire vicinity of the peak was instantly chaotic.

Of course...... In fact, this place has been chaotic for a long time, but the previous performance has not been obvious enough, but now it is beginning to explode from the surface.

The speed of the riot was very exaggerated, and it barely took a few minutes to reach the side of the hanging platform, which was the area of the pavilion that I had designed and surrounded by Zhao Youkuang, and it was also the direction I could see from my current angle.

I squinted my eyes and took a closer look over there, only to see a lot of people shooting indiscriminately forward with the weapons in their hands, their weapons were very messy, there were gravel guns and Gu muskets, and there were also a lot of earthen guns, which seemed to have been taken from the hands of the original wanderers, and they were obviously not wanderers themselves, judging by their clothes and habitual behavior...... It's obviously from Taoyuan Island.

I secretly applauded in my heart, saying that if these Taoyuan Island people were surrounded and killed by the masked man and the resentful spirits, it would be exactly what I wanted......

But I soon found out what was wrong...... Because these Taoyuan Island people cooperated with the voodoo attack, then they should also belong to the side of the Moon Spirits, why would these resentful spirits and masked people attack them now?

Or is it ...... And the moon dust factor here?

During this period, I naturally did not relax the slightest sense of Yuechen herself, but this sense was still difficult to establish, and I felt that the reason why I could hear her voice ringing in my ears before was ...... I'm afraid it's completely because of Yuechen's willingness, maybe all of this was done under her control.

I found that the more I deliberately thought about it, the more serious my fear of moon dust became, and it was better to have a "fearless who don't know" and simply not think about it!

I continued to hide in place for a while, and gradually found that those Taoyuan Island people were not killed by the resentful spirits and the masked people, but began to gradually stabilize the situation.

And in this way, the confrontation over there has begun to stalemate, and those Taoyuan Island people seem to have been specially trained to deal with these troubles, and now they have organized a line of defense, using the obstacles on the edge of the pavilion over there as cover, and began to block those approaching resentful spirits and masked people.

Now that most of the "living creatures" at the summit had gathered, I began to take the opportunity to move further and slowly approach...... My purpose now is very simple, I just want to hear as many words as possible from the mouths of those Taoyuan Island while I am not discovered.

Finally...... When I almost reached the summit, I heard some people from Taoyuan Island crying for help, these guys obviously did not use psionic energy to carry out sound transmission similar to lucid dreaming, because the psionic energy and cold here are suppressed, and there is no evidence that the third energy can also transmit sound, and judging from the sound of "Nga Ya" I heard, they are still communicating by radio.

Most of the Taoyuan Island people's words for help are very simple, that is, an unexpected change has occurred here, and the "spirit creatures" that were originally controlled by them are now out of control, and even began to actively attack them.

I'm not sure what they mean by "spirit creatures" for a while, but I feel that at least they include resentful spirits, and the Masked Man probably falls into that category, because if it weren't, the people who reported the call for help should have pointed it out.

Well...... In this way, the purpose of these Taoyuan Islanders here is similar to what I expected, they must have wanted to manipulate the masked people and resentful spirits in the first place, so that they can attack the wanderers according to their own instructions, and this attack is a kind of "virtuous circle", because the loiterers they kill will become masked people to join their team.

Damn, this form of offense sounds a bit invulnerable, because if we go down according to this rule, we have to have no casualties if we want to win, and we have to destroy the enemy on this premise, which is a fool's dream.

But I believe that things can't be so simple, these Taoyuan Islanders must still need some specific conditions for the manipulation of the Mask Man and the transformation of the dead wanderer into the Mask Man, such as now, those Taoyuan Island people are under siege is the best example.

I thought about it quickly, and finally decided that it would be better to grab a Taoyuan Island person from nearby and ask him alive.
