In this way, Huo Xiu followed everyone and entered the Jade Dragon Pass.

It was only then that he had a chance to see it in its entirety.

It is quite similar to the town of Riverwood, in addition to the barracks that can be found everywhere, there are various businesses on both sides of the road.

However, it seems that because it is winter and the staff is scarce, most of the shops are closed and no one is visible.

Soon, Huo Xiu and the others entered a large-scale courtyard.

As a left-behind guard, He Lao Er is naturally familiar with this place. He led the group to turn left and right, and soon entered a large hall.

After the guests were seated, Guo Wei couldn't wait to ask, "Steward He, why didn't you open the city gate for us before?"

He Lao Er sighed and said with a sad face: "It's hard to say! Since the He clan people went home to mourn, we almost didn't dare to open the city gate. ”

"What does that mean?"

In the crowd, a warrior was immediately surprised: "I walked all the way and found that there are a lot of barracks, and it is estimated that there must be at least seven or eight hundred soldiers here, can't even a small Jade Dragon Pass be guarded?"

He Lao Er smiled bitterly at the man, his face full of helplessness.

"We do have a lot of soldiers here, but now, there is not even a single warrior, so naturally we don't dare to open the city gate. ”

Guo Wei heard the clue and immediately asked: "Steward He, listen to what you mean, there is something powerful that makes ordinary soldiers unable to deal with it at all, only the martial artist can do it." ”

He Lao Er nodded and said, "What Captain Guo said is extremely true, this Jade Dragon Pass, since our He family in Jiulian City took over last summer, strange things have been happening. When our He family's warriors are here, they can also suppress it. But now they have all returned to Jiulian City to mourn, so ......"

"Strange thing!?What strange thing?" Guo Wei took a sharp breath, feeling a little surprised.

He Lao Er's face was bitter, and he responded: "This Jade Dragon Mountain is a snow-capped mountain, and every year, some unlucky people die here because of accidents such as avalanches. It stands to reason that their bodies were buried deep in the ground, and it was impossible to possibly do so. But the paradox is that they come every once in a while......"

Before He Lao Er finished speaking, a martial artist was surprised: "Wait...... Steward He, didn't you say that those were corpses? How could they come over? You must have said something wrong. ”

He Lao Er replied and said, "I'm not wrong, those corpses did come by themselves." Not only that, but they also bite people when they see them, and ordinary soldiers can't resist them at all, only warriors can do it. To make matters worse, some of the corpses looked like normal people from a distance, and it was impossible to tell if they were extremely low in temperature until they were up close. Therefore, I did not dare to open the city gate after hearing your call, and I ask for your forgiveness. ”

He Lao Er said, stood up, and bowed at everyone.

Guo Wei waved his hand and motioned for He Lao Er to sit down.

"Steward He, something like this weird happened, why didn't I listen to you report it to Hemu Town. ”

He Lao Er stroked his beard and smiled.

"Captain Guo, I said it before. Although those corpses were extremely lethal to ordinary people, they were not worth mentioning to martial artists. It is estimated that a martial artist in the late stage of the Penetrating Realm will be able to deal with it. Although our Jiulian City He family is not a top wealthy giant, there are also more than ten martial artists who have penetrated the realm here, and the strongest one has already stepped into the clutch realm in half a step, so it is naturally not a problem to clean up those corpses. ”

Guo Wei nodded in agreement. Then, he seemed to think of something, so he immediately asked, "Steward He, since you can deal with those corpses, why haven't you traced the source of this matter?"

He Lao Er said with an embarrassed face: "The conditions of this Jade Dragon Mountain are really too bad, although we have explored, but it is only limited to places that can be set foot in, such as high mountains, deep valleys, etc., we can't reach it at all, so we haven't pursued it further." ”

Guo Wei touched his chin and said, "Those places are indeed steep enough, and it is reasonable that they can't be detected." By the way, since you've destroyed those weird corpses, have you kept them?"

He Lao Er sighed and responded: "Those corpses are so weird, we were worried that an accident would happen, so we burned them all." ”

"That's right. ”

In the middle of the words, a few traces of regret flashed in Guo Wei's eyes. Then, he lifted his eyes and looked around.

"Guys, do you have a good idea of what this weird thing is?"

"This ......"

For a while, everyone kept their mouths shut and couldn't speak.

However, Huo Xiu noticed that there was something strange in Ji Duyi's eyes, and he seemed to know something.

At this time, Ji Duyi also found that Huo Xiu had looked at it. His face immediately changed, and he glared fiercely at Huo Xiu.

Seeing this, Huo Xiu did not have the slightest fear, but looked back straight at the past, and he also had doubts in his heart.

"Ji Duyi, this guy, shouldn't know some inside story. Looks like we'll have to find a chance to get him to spit it out. ”

At this moment, a warrior suddenly jumped out.

"I remember that more than half a year ago, there was an evil way in this area, and the people and horses sent by Hemu Town to destroy it. Could it be that there were still remnants of sin left at that time, and they went into hiding, and they were secretly engaged in these shady things. ”

Steward He shook his head and said, "Probably not." The conditions of Yulong Mountain are harsh, and all the food and the like are brought in from the outside, and they must pass through the Yulong Pass. If there is a secret path among them, they will definitely not be able to escape our detection. ”

Immediately, another martial artist asked: "Recently, the demon clan has been making waves in the area of Hemu Town, could it be that they did it." ”

This time, it was Guo Wei who responded. I saw him snort coldly and said, "The demon clan only appeared in the past two months, and it hasn't appeared for some years before. And with their bloodthirsty and brutal personalities, they wish everyone knew about their existence, and they definitely won't lie dormant for so long. ”

When they heard this, they were all silent. This kind of thing is really weird, and if you don't experience it yourself, it's really hard to find out the truth.

But fortunately, listening to what Steward He said, those weird corpses are not too threatening, as long as they are the most cautious, it will not be a problem to deal with the past.

However, it should not be delayed for too long, after all, this is a traffic artery, and there is no room for too many accidents.

"Hey, if only I could catch one of those corpses. ”

In the crowd, I don't know who said a word.

Everyone was just about to agree, when suddenly, there was a shout from outside the lobby.

"Steward He, it's no good, those corpses are here again!"
