According to the earliest drawings, the ghost wood box should have contained silver needles and Gu worms, but later after the drawings were obtained by Chu Xiang, the silver needles were replaced with short iron spears, and the lethality was even better than before. There is only one point, the iron spear can't contain Gu worms, it can only hurt people and kill people, but there is no need to worry about being controlled by the brain and killing each other.

Xue Huaiyue gave an order, and a large net made of black gold was ripped open in front of the fleet with a "bang", blocking part of the iron spear that shot from the opposite side. At the same time, the thousands of ghost wooden boxes on the Great Chu ship were also rotated at the same time, and the sharp blades that flashed with cold light flew across the sea, penetrating those stiff ghost corpses layer by layer, and the dull howls came and went, but not a few people fell, but began to slowly push the second mechanism of the ghost wooden box again.

Even with the black gold net as a defense, Da Chu still suffered heavy casualties. Xue Huaiyue saw it in his eyes and ordered loudly at the bow of the ship: "Withdraw first!" ”

Zhuo Yunhe shouted: "The whole army retreats!" ”

As he spoke, the second batch of iron spears had already pierced through the wind, Shen Qianfeng stepped on the side of the ship with one foot and jumped, the internal force roared into the sea, and the huge waves were monstrous, raising a short barrier in the middle of the Liang army.

"It's not the way to go." Duan Baiyue shook her head, "Yao'er, light the fire!" ”

"Okay!" Duan Yao pulled through a large net with one hand, dragged it and jumped off the big boat, and a strong smell of fire oil filled the air. Sikong Rui exclaimed: "Hey, you just let him go?" On the other side was a group of living dead who had long since died. ”

"He could." Duan Baiyue stared at Duan Yao with both eyes, and saw that he moved quickly all the way, flew up to a phoenix, and with a whistle, he had already reached a high place, rushing straight towards the coffins floating on the sea.

A large number of ghost corpses slowly raised their hands and aimed the ghost wooden box at the sky.

Chu Yuan frowned: "Let Yao'er come back!" ”

"Someone is secretly directing this group of zombies." Duan Baiyue said, "Eighty percent is on the opposite boat." ”

Chu Yuan grabbed his wrist as soon as he grabbed it.

Duan Baiyue: "......"

Duan Baiyue said: "Can't just go over and take a look?" ”

"Let Yao'er come back." Chu Yuan repeated it again.

Duan Baiyue patted his hand: "Don't worry. ”

"Hey, that's a lot." Duan Yao looked at the dense, small box-like continuous coffin below, and felt a chill in his heart. Hundreds of zombies sank to the bottom of the sea, and the fish and fishermen were considered to have fallen into blood mold for eight lifetimes.

There was a short whistle on the big boat, and a cold light flashed in Duan Yao's eyes, and before he could signal, the big phoenix had already rushed upwards with him, looking like a golden lightning from a distance, no matter how fast those iron spears were, they couldn't catch up, and they crackled and fell back into the sea halfway through.

On the deck, Chu Yuan and Sikong Rui both breathed a sigh of relief.

Duan Baiyue: "......"

"Well done." Duan Yao patted its neck and coughed twice, "You bear with it a little longer, I'll treat you to beef when you go back." ”

The big phoenix spread its wings and led him down in the sky. Duan Yao saw the opportunity, threw the fishing net stained with fire oil at the coffin group, and with the other hand, he immediately took the bow and arrow on his back, and the three arrow feathers carried the sparks through the big net, and in the blink of an eye, there was already a sky-high fire light ignited in mid-air, reflecting the surrounding black fog in golden red.

Duan Yao was very satisfied with herself.

The coffin was covered with a large burning net, and the dry planks and corpses were a large area, but even so, in the vast fire, there were still iron spears shot out, and countless burning zombies continued to act stiffly according to the instructions, and the ghost wooden box was dialed again and again, like a doomsday dungeon.

The Fishtail Army had already retreated to a safe range, and Ye Jin didn't care about anything else, and together with the military doctor, he transferred the wounded soldiers to the ship for treatment. Xue Huaiyue had already issued an order for the whole army to retreat, but Duan Baiyue's face changed, and he suddenly broke away from Chu Yuan, and whistled a phoenix.

"You!" Chu Yuan was caught off guard and staggered two steps, pulling him in time, and watched the people and the phoenix quickly leave the main battle ship together.

"It's for Yao'er." Sikong Rui hurriedly explained, "It's not that Brother Duan wants to be strong. ”

Chu Yuan frowned and looked over, and sure enough, he saw that Duan Yao did not come back after lighting the fire, but went to the top of the stationary big ship again, probably to find out some more news.

Duan Yao was just about to let the phoenix fall a little further, when he heard movement behind him, and before he could see it clearly, he was already swept down by a palm wind raised by Duan Baiyue - just avoiding an enemy cloud-piercing arrow.

The phoenix from before circled and swooped downward, took Duan Yao back on his back, and no longer cared about his orders, and directly led people back to the Chu army camp.

Sikong Rui pulled him off the phoenix's back and patted him comfortingly.

"Are you alright?" Chu Yuan asked.

Duan Yao shook his head, stunned.

A moment later, Duan Baiyue also turned back to the big ship. At this time, the Chu army had distanced itself from the coffin, and under the attack of the mines, countless zombies were blown to smithereens, until they finally disappeared completely into the mist.

The army temporarily retreated to rest, Chu Yuan and Xue Huaiyue hurriedly went to visit the injured soldiers, Duan Yao stood on the deck, and defended with no confidence: "I just wanted to go and see, but I didn't expect that there were still living people on that ship." "I didn't expect to be able to release arrows.

"How can you command so many zombies without living people." Duan Baiyue said in a deep voice, "I only asked you to set the fire, and I didn't let you do anything else." ”

Duan Yao bowed his head and said nothing.

"Okay, okay, what are you talking about for so long, let's go and eat." Sikong Rui squatted behind for a while, and couldn't wait, so he came out with a smile on his face, sent Duan Baiyue to see the emperor, and pulled Duan Yao to sit aside, "What do you want to eat?" Brother will do it for you. ”

Duan Yao held the Cloud Splitting Knife and twisted it vigorously.

"Brother Duan is also worried about you." Sikong Rui patted him on the head, "Seeing that you went to the enemy camp, he chased after him without even saying a word, and almost threw the emperor into the sea." "This kind of scene is very thrilling when you hear it.

Duan Yao covered her ears.

"Lie to you what to do, it's true." Sikong Rui leaned close to his ear and said firmly, "Eighty percent of you will kneel on the washboard tonight." ”

Duan Yao: "......"

"How?" Duan Baiyue asked.

"Hurt a lot of people." Chu Yuan sighed, "Fortunately, there is Yao'er, otherwise I am afraid that there will be more than this number, what about others?" ”

"I was reprimanded, and now eighty percent are still angry." Duan Baiyue said.

Chu Yuan frowned: "What are you training him to do?" In this battle, Yao'er can be regarded as the first merit. ”

"No matter how used to it, I'm afraid that next time I don't know the height of the sky." Duan Baiyue shook her head, "On weekdays, he demolishes the house and removes the tiles at home, and he can make any trouble he wants, but he can't be willful in marching and fighting, otherwise he will suffer in the end." ”

"Do you want me to coax?" Chu Yuan asked.

"You've got enough to worry about, so don't worry about it." Duan Baiyue said, "Go back and rest for a while, I'll go see the wood idiot senior." ”

Chu Yuan nodded and stroked his cheek with one hand: "It's okay, that's hard." ”

Duan Baiyue asked Sixi to accompany him to dinner first, and he turned around and went to the other side of the big boat, and sure enough, he saw the old man sitting alone in the bow of the boat.

Nan Mo Xie made a bitter face, pulled Duan Baiyue aside, and whispered: "This old man is a dead eye, you have to find someone to keep an eye on it, otherwise I am afraid that I will jump into the sea." ”

"Go and coax Yao'er." Duan Baiyue said, "Leave it to me here." ”

"Good, good." Nanmo was relieved and ran fast. Duan Baiyue sat beside the old man and said, "Senior." ”

"How's everyone's injuries?" The old man asked.

"The military doctor is treating him." Duan Baiyue said, "Seniors don't have to blame themselves too much, we don't lose this battle." ”

"The other party is using the dead to fight the living, and winning or losing is a big loss." The old man waved his hand and sighed, "You don't have to persuade me, it's all a sin that can't be washed away." ”

"Not necessarily." Duan Baiyue said, "It's hard to say now, but if there is a way to take these zombies for your own use, and deal with the rebels in the past, it can be regarded as being able to take back a city." ”

"Does the prince have a way?" The old man's eyes lit up.

Duan Baiyue nodded: "But it's not completely sure yet, it's better for the seniors to go back and rest first, and after I discuss it with the emperor, if this plan is feasible, I will definitely be the first to tell the seniors, how about it?" ”

Although the old man was skeptical, he also knew that this time was urgent, and Duan Baiyue had a heavy responsibility, so he should do great things, instead of standing here to comfort himself, he also nodded, turned around and slowly returned to the cabin.

Nanmo said: "After you go back, let Aunt Jin prick your brother with a needle, every day, and pierce your head." ”

Duan Yao sniffed and nodded desperately: "Hmm! ”

"Good." Nanmo said kindly, "Then let's go to dinner?" ”

Duan Yao said: "I want to eat grilled fish." ”

"How can there be grilled fish to eat in this array, there is a lot of chaos everywhere, and the army is eating steamed buns and pickles, and it will fill their stomachs." Nan Moye handed over a cup of hot tea, went to the kitchen to find food for the little apprentice, and after taking the steamed buns and pickles, he took out a salted fish from the cupboard and brought it back to him to send him porridge.

Duan Yao barely took two bites, and she didn't have the heart to go out again, so she went to bed early, but before half an hour, she was pulled up again.

Duan Baiyue sat on the edge of the bed and handed him a packet of grilled fish, hot and sprinkled with chili powder.

Duan Yao: "......"

"Eat, little ghost, didn't you say you wanted to eat fish just now." Duan Baiyue looked at him.

Duan Yao cried out with a "wow".

Duan Baiyue: "......"

After a cup of tea, Duan Baiyue looked disgusted, and forcibly pulled the slug away from herself: "Enough crying? ”

Duan Yao hiccuped, not yet.

Duan Baiyue pulled the clothes on one side and wiped his face indiscriminately.

Duan Yao wanted to cry again, his nose was about to be crooked, his brother was a barbarian.

Duan Baiyue carried him to the table, opened the paper bag and put it in front of him.

It smells good.

Duan Yao concentrated on pulling fish and eating it.

Duan Baiyue laughed: "Not angry? ”

Duan Yao moved to the other side of the table, not paying much attention to him.

Duan Baiyue was extremely patient, and accompanied him to finish eating, before he said, "When you went to the top of that big ship today, did you notice anything abnormal?" ”

Duan Yao looked at him in silence.

To be reasonable, I was slapped away by a palm before I got close, and I actually came to explore intelligence this time?

"Know you didn't see anything." Duan Baiyue said, "Do you smell something?" ”

Duan Yao frowned slightly: "Smell? ”

Duan Baiyue nodded.

Duan Yao thought about it, and was guided by him like this, but he felt that there really seemed to be some smell, but he couldn't tell what it was.

"Is there hesitation?" Duan Baiyue took out a small bottle from his sleeve, opened it and handed it to him, "Smell and look at this." ”

Duan Yao leaned closer, and his eyes lit up: "That's right, it's not, but it's very similar." ”

"Do you know what it is?" Duan Baiyue asked again.

"Yes." Duan Yao replied briskly, "Pink ginger flower." ”

Pink ginger flowers are not flowers, but female insects. Eggs are laid in spring and autumn and thousands of nematodes can hatch in winter. Due to its strong smell, it is extremely easy to be caught by other insects, and it has long been extinct in the southwest. When Duan Yao was ten years old, it was Gu Yunchuan who sent a pink ginger flower as a gift, and it was the first time everyone saw this thing.

There is only one female worm, and naturally it can't give birth to nematodes, so after winter, I can only watch the worm slowly stiffen and tear off, and I feel sorry for it.

"So someone brought a puppet made of pink ginger flowers to control the nematodes in the zombie body on a big ship?" Duan Yao said, "Isn't it true that as long as you find a way to destroy the mother worm, the zombies will naturally die?" ”

"That's right." Duan Baiyue said, "But how to do it, we have to discuss it again, and let's talk about it tomorrow morning." ”

"Hmm." Duan Yao nodded, "Okay." ”

"Sleep." Duan Baiyue rubbed his head, "Don't think about giving your brother a needle next time." ”

Duan Yao: "......"

That's what Master said, so I said "um".

Very innocent.

Seeing Duan Baiyue coming back, Sixi hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, "The emperor has instructed that this will be reserved for the prince." ”

"Did you sleep?" Duan Baiyue asked.

"It didn't take long for me to rest." Sixi said, "General Xue has come again. ”

Duan Baiyue nodded, and she didn't have the heart to eat, and when she pushed the door, she saw Chu Yuan leaning on the head of the bed looking at herself.

"I just didn't fall asleep again." Duan Baiyue said, "When I came back just now, I went to the military doctor's camp to take a look, Lord Ye Gu had already gone back to rest, and there were still thirty or forty wounded people waiting there, and they could all be bandaged by tomorrow morning at the latest, so don't worry too much." ”

"Where's the woodworm senior?" Chu Yuan sat up.

"It's okay for now." Duan Baiyue said, "Yao'er also went to sleep, it's almost time." ”

"So late?" Chu Yuan rubbed his temples, "Xue Huaiyue has been here just now, and he hasn't been gone for long. ”

Duan Baiyue took his hand, leaned over to his mouth and kissed it: "Sleep." ”

"I don't want to know what he came for?" Chu Yuan said, "I thought that even if the rebels had a ghost wooden box, it would not be comparable to the number of Great Chu, and it would definitely be the other party who would suffer the loss." But he didn't expect that the other party was using corpses, so even if he won, he will definitely suffer heavy casualties and win grievances. ”

"Leave it to me." Duan Baiyue said.

"I'll leave everything to you." Chu Yuan withdrew his hand, "Don't talk about this, you should rest early." ”

Duan Baiyue helped him lie back on the bed, washed himself and lit a soothing incense before leaning aside.

Chu Yuan moved up and pillowed on his arm.

The corners of Duan Baiyue's mouth bent, and his palm patted lightly on his back, listening to the breathing of the people around him becoming more and more stable, but he became more and more energetic, staring at the top of the bed all the time.

When the sky was about to dawn, Chu Yuan asked in a daze, "What time is it?" ”

"It's only been a long time since I slept." Duan Baiyue hugged him tightly, "It doesn't matter what time he is, close his eyes." ”

Chu Yuan wanted to push him away and sit up, but he felt that his whole body had no strength, and it was quite comfortable to be held by him, so he fell asleep again. Duan Baiyue covered the quilt for him again, and coaxed for a while before extinguishing the incense stick on the table and gently exiting the door.

"How?" Ye Jin asked outside.

"I slept all night, and it was peaceful." Duan Baiyue said, "Thank you." ”

Ye Jin breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." ”

"What about the Shen Alliance Master?" Duan Baiyue asked.

"I haven't gotten up yet, I've been busy all night, and I didn't stop until dawn." Ye Jin said, "I went to find the old man this morning, and he said that you have a way to deal with those zombies?" ”

"Last night, I was afraid that my seniors wouldn't want to jump into the sea, so I said something nonsense." Duan Baiyue walked as he walked.

Ye Jin was immediately deflated. What nonsense.

"But there's another thing." Duan Baiyue said, "Have you ever heard of pink ginger flowers?" ”

Ye Jin shook his head: What is it? “

Duan Baiyue sat on the railing and said, "Gu worm." ”

"So?" Ye Jin hesitated.

"When I went to rescue Yao'er yesterday, I smelled a strong smell over that big ship, it was pink ginger flowers." Duan Baiyue took out the small bottle again, "This is ginger powder for cold warding, and the taste is extremely similar." ”

"Pink ginger flower, what can you do?" Ye Jin asked.

"Pink ginger flowers are the mother worms, and the daughter worms control those zombies." Duan Baiyue said, "In the magic of witchcraft, the mother worm can be placed in a puppet and used to command the zombie action. ”

Ye Jin's eyes lit up: "You mean, if you meet it again next time, you will blow up that big ship?" ”

"It's a solution, but I have another idea." Duan Baiyue said, "Just take that puppet back." ”

Ye Jin took a deep breath, yes, enough hooligans.

Duan Baiyue said: "So maybe you have to borrow the Gu King of the Valley Lord." ”

It's okay to borrow nature. Ye Jin looked at him: "Southwest Mansion is not?" ”

"Yes," Duan Baiyue nodded, "But it's not enough, that ship doesn't look small, and it's too wasteful of time to look for it alone." ”

That's right. Ye Jin stretched out two hands: "I have ten." ”

Duan Baiyue: "......"

Duan Baiyue said from the bottom of her heart: "Admire." ”

The dark guard of the Shadow Chasing Palace drove a small boat and found a lot of wild fruits on the nearby island for the injured Chu army, and naturally there was Master Miaoxin with him. Monks should naturally be compassionate and compassionate.

"How?" After a free moment, Nanmo Evil pulled the dark guard aside and asked.

The dark guard said happily: "It's good. ”

Nanmo Xie was surprised: "It's good? ”

"yes." "Although this master doesn't speak, he doesn't interrupt us, he just sits there all the time. It was rare to find such a quiet listener, who would neither throw his sleeves and leave, nor turn his face and fight, so he quickly talked about the strange things in the whole Shu, and praised the prince and the young palace master in different ways, and expressed implicitly and euphemistically "We don't know who the palace master is" by the way.

Nan Mo Xie was pleased: "Then in the next time, this master will be handed over to you young heroes." "At least until Wang Cheng's wedding, there can be no more chaos.

The secret guard agreed, and went to find Miaoxin with tofu soup.

It's good and good for everyone to be vegetarian together.
