Overnight, the temperature plummeted by 30 degrees, and the sky that was clear yesterday is covered today by gray clouds.

The howling cold wind was like a thousand knives, poking and poking at everyone who dared to show their heads, all the way to the cracks of the bones.

Then there was a big snowstorm, which fell for three days and three nights in a row, and the snow on the ground was more than two meters thick.

Of course, the snow in the village is cleared out in time, including the snow on the roofs of the houses, which is also cleared every few hours.

Thanks to the fact that they are all level 5 houses, the sturdiness is extraordinary, and the effect of cold protection is also excellent, and there are enough firewood reserves in summer and autumn, and every small family in each house is warm.

But that wasn't enough, because of the possibility of icy ghosts and ghosts, all the soldiers and heroes in the village were on high alert from the day of winter.

Zhang Yang is no exception, 24 hours a day, he has to lead a patrol for ten hours, and if there is any trouble, he will appear immediately.

Fortunately, so far, no trace of the invasion of the ghosts has been found.

But the clouds above him were getting thicker and heavier, and even if the blizzard stopped, there was no sign of a clear day.

If it is not bad as expected, this is not an ordinary cloud at all, but a gathering of yin qi.

When this yin qi gathers too much, it will rain ice, and this ice rain is the ghost crystal.

Enough ghost crystals will attract a large number of ghosts, and among the ghosts there may be ghost assassins and ghost ladies, and a vicious circle will be formed until a village is completely destroyed.

"Village Chief, should we also dig holes in the ground and hide the old, weak, women and children of the villagers who have no combat effectiveness?"

During the patrol, Wang Shen once again suggested that because of his status as an elite population, he was better than Wu Yuan in handling village affairs, so theoretically he had become the deputy head of the village.

"No, this matter is not negotiable, you can't hide for a while, you can't avoid it for a lifetime, Wang Shen, you have to remember that although solving the problem is 10,000 times more painful than avoiding the problem, but this is what determines everything as small as everything, as big as everyone's life, and even the fate of a race and a civilization, you don't even have the most correct attitude, you don't even have the determination to take risks and bear suffering, what are you talking about being strong and rising?"

Zhang Yang said very seriously, to a certain extent, he cultivated Wang Shen as a successor 1.5.

Because he knew very well that in the course of his short twenty years of trading, he could not ensure that everything was arranged, he had to cultivate the elite population, he had to cultivate the leadership, that is, the aristocratic class.

Don't blame him for taking some perverse path, it's really the environment that determines everything.

He has even decided that he will only be responsible for the first ten years of the development of the village, and after ten years, he will enter the era of successor 1.5, which will be supervised by him, and after 15 years, he will enter the era of successor 2.0.

So there are things, some things that proclaim their own ideas, some opinions, and a kind of spiritual heritage that he thinks is right, and he has to imprint it in the soul of all people, and it has to be established since they were young.

Therefore, when winter came, Zhang Yangli overrode public opinion, not only did not order the digging of holes in the ground, so that the villagers, the elderly, weak, women and children could hide in it, but also ordered all activities in winter to be normal.

The dead must be dead, and fear must be feared.

But if you don't learn to face this fear and face this death sooner, what will you do in the future?

Every winter comes, and every year there are dangers.

The weak can only be eliminated, and the strong will be left behind.

"Report, my lord, there are traces of ghosts in the northern district, and someone is injured. ”

At this time, a soldier rushed over, and Zhang Yang hurriedly pounced.

In order to better manage the management, he had divided the entire village's city wall defense patrol area into five areas.

They are the North, East, South, West, and Central districts.

In addition to the central area, each area is divided into three sections, namely the first section of the northern district, the second section of the northern district, and the third section of the northern district.

Among them, Wu Yuan is in charge of the North District, Ren is in charge of the West District, Wang Mumu is in charge of the East District, Wang Shen is in charge of the South District, Liu Dali is in charge of the Central District, and Zhang Yang is in charge of his own mobile inspection.

After a while, Zhang Yang rushed to the section of the North District, where the person in charge was Xiao Yang, a storm swordsman whose strength was comparable to that of a one-star hero, and Wang Shen was in the same period, along with the other two storm swordsmen, he was called the three friends of the Cheap Sect by Song Dazhui, who was good at nicknames.

Here at this moment, Wu Yuan had already arrived, and the scene was orderly, but the condition of the injured was not very good, and the whole person seemed to be frozen.

"Who else has seen that ghost"

Zhang Yang asked quickly as he squatted down, and the soul force field instantly intervened in the injured soldier's body, and after a while, the soldier's miserable blue face finally turned ruddy.

In Zhang Yang's hand, there was an extra dark cyan mist.

"No one saw it, under the influence of the snow, the ghost just flashed and disappeared, and then disappeared without a trace, leaving no trace at the scene, which seems to be different from what Wu Yu said. ”

Wu Yuan frowned.

"No, Wu Yu is describing a powerful ghost, and what appeared just now is an ice ghost assassin. ”

Zhang Yang said calmly, while letting people help the soldiers who survived the catastrophe away, he casually picked up the long knife that seemed to have not changed.

"How can you see it?" Wu Yuan asked.

"The strength of the soldier just now is a captain, his profession is a sword and shield soldier, and his combat quality and sense of murderous aura are very keen, so when the Ice Ghost Assassin attacks, he can still quickly draw his knife and slash out, although he didn't hit it, but this is still one of the reasons why he was able to escape. ”

"And another reason is that this evil long knife that I specially used mana to enchant and cultivate, you can't see it, but I can sense it, the evil attribute inside is already crumbling, and if you do it again, the evil attribute will be dispersed. ”

"If the attacker is really a cold ghost, there is no reason why he can be so powerful. ”

Hearing Zhang Yang's analysis, Wu Yuan, Xiao Yang and the others all looked at each other, this winter has only begun, why did there be a ghost assassin who would not appear until two months later

After all, the Ghost Assassin and the Ghost Lady were both upgraded by ghosts, not directly from the Abyss Ghost Clan.

"There is also a possibility that someone released this ghost assassin. ”

"My lord, you mean the orc lord"

"That's right, in the previous battle, the orc lord suffered heavy losses, but the ghost soldiers in his hands were not damaged at all, and as far as I know, there is at least one ghost lady under the orc lord, remember the greedy peeping I said, except for the ghost lady, what else dares to peep at us so boldly, in addition, there are at least two ghost priests under the orc lord, four ghost assassins, and no less than 50 village imps. ”

"Although the orc lord can continue to build a village, first, it will definitely not be built next to us, and second, winter is coming, and its strength is not enough, and it is no longer able to suppress the ghost lady and the ghost assassin, so what will you do instead?"

"Of course, let the Ghost Lady and the Ghost Assassins wander the area, and when winter comes, our village will bear the brunt. Such a good thing that kills three birds with one stone, the orc lord will definitely do it. ”

After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he looked up at the increasingly low clouds in the sky.

"That ghost lady, must be hiding near our village, and frantically absorbing yin qi, after all, this heavy snow came too suddenly, I once asked Wuyu in detail about the weather changes in this area in the past five years, but there is absolutely no winter as soon as it comes, it immediately drops down by more than 30 degrees, and it has rained blizzards for three days and three nights in a row. ”

"So I think it must have something to do with that ghost lady, with the blessing of yin energy, it naturally has enough power to control the weather. ”

"Lord Lord, in that case, should we take a step ahead and find out the ghost lady and destroy it, instead of allowing it to continue to devour the yin qi and grow stronger?"

Xiao Yang asked at this time.

Zhang Yang nodded,

"That's right, this is the only way, if the Ghost Lady breaks through to the Ghost King, our entire village will become its snack, so we have to find it, but the ordinary search has no effect on the Ghost Lady, we have to find another way. ”

"Wu Yuan, inform me to pile up a hundred piles of firewood on the training ground, and I want to fight with this ghost lady!"

The idea of this fighting method was not thought of by Zhang Yang's whim, but he had this idea for a long time, and even the orc lord would release the ghost lady, the ghost assassin, the ghost priest or something, it was also expected by him.

It's not that he's clever, because whoever it is, probably wouldn't believe that the orc lord who has suffered heavy losses just fled in disgrace.

If you really ignore this, you can only say that you deserve to die.

Of course, I guessed that Zhang Yang didn't know what the specific effect of the fighting method was, but his biggest advantage now was that he was well prepared, and his defense was tight, and a total of more than 200 captain-level soldiers were all dressed in evil long knives, even if the ghost assassin came, he couldn't get any benefits.

So as long as he keeps tempting, analyzing, and cracking, then he may not find a way to restrain the ghost lady.

Soon, the training ground was full of firewood, and the reserves of this firewood were very, very sufficient, at least 560,000 units were still reserved in the flamboyant village building order, which were all plundered and not moved at all.

Everything is for this moment.

As the saying goes, if there is no mana, then create mana.

All roads lead to fireballs, and there is sure to be one for you.

Let everyone else retreat, and stand in the training ground with his hands in his hands, looking up at the sky, with the momentum of starting a war with the endless clouds in the sky.

But in the next second, with a flip of his palm, a ghost crystal that had been cut the size of a grain of rice appeared.

"Well, inexperienced, everything is unknown, just in case, it's better to do the test first. ”
