Chapter 161: The Nest of Corpses in the Mountains
Yunzhou, in the temporary marshal's mansion.
Lu Fan looked at the urgent reports coming from all over the place, in the past few years, Lefang has been spreading in various prosperous places, which can be said to be making a lot of money, and the taxes of other industries have begun to recover funds.
Le Fang has now been completely handed over to Yin Lan to take care of, and now Le Fang has gradually extended its tentacles to the Heavenly City, becoming one of the few forces in the Northern Regions to break into the empire.
What Yin Lan did always exceeded Lu Fan's expectations and even imagination, and all the major cities of the empire also had Yin Lan's eyes, and sometimes even the news sent back by Yin Lan was faster and more accurate than An Liya's intelligence network, so that Lu Fan sometimes saw that the information sent from both sides would even coincide.
It was also through the intelligence of all parties that Lu Fan learned that the Feather King no longer had the energy to crusade against him, because the Warcraft Forest was now restless, and the Feather King had sent heavy troops to monitor the movements of the Warcraft around the forest.
The island countries in the East China Sea have now landed at multiple points, occupying the coastal area, and even outflanking them in a roundabout way, avoiding and retreating the army step by step.
Although the Feather King claims to have millions of soldiers, the Warcraft Forest has contained 200,000 elites, and in order to deal with the island country bandits, another 200,000 troops have been added, plus the army of the war army, the army in the coastal area has reached 300,000. In the northwest, there were tens of thousands of troops, and in the northeast, there were 100,000 troops.
There are 150,000 defense troops in the imperial capital, and tens of thousands of troops are busy getting rid of dissident small princes and discordant royal families.
Looking at the spy report, if it weren't for so many emergencies, maybe now Wei Ruozhang and Lu Fan have been attacked by King Yu, and everything is really not as good as heaven.
War is all about the right time, the right place, and the right people, and all of them are indispensable.
Lu Fan also got an important news, that is, the tide of corpse chaos has broken out everywhere in the empire, not only the Shang Empire, but also everywhere outside the empire, but they are all walking corpses with no combat power.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Demon Legion, it encountered a tricky incident, also in a relatively remote mountain village in Yunzhou, a group of enchanted legions found a corpse cave, the hole is as big as a dungeon, and it is extremely remote from the market town where people live, but such a large corpse cave should not appear near human settlements.
Through some exploration, it was found that it was very likely that the corpse king in the crypt had produced a certain amount of spiritual intelligence, which was not something that ordinary demon hunters could subdue, so he only wanted to report back to the demon army at the same time, while informing the nearest Yunzhou garrison of the situation, and asking for assistance, hoping to jointly exterminate the corpse nest.
It is said that the corpse king, who has been cultivating for a long time, changes color even the heavens and the earth.
After seeing the report, Lu Fan decided to go there in person and wanted to go here to inspect the situation there.
The corpse nest is located in the north of Shanyin Village, nearly 100 miles in the continuous mountain range, and the scale is quite large, among which there are nearly 1,000 walking corpse zombies.
In half a day, Lu Fan rushed to Shanyin Village, and the elite army then closed the mountain road near the corpse nest.
Maybe the people here don't know about the zombies in the mountains, or maybe they have heard of them, but they are so far away that they don't think there's any threat.
But after Lu Fan read the express report of the Demon Suppression Corps, he has always been unable to sleep, this is a huge threat, and Lu Fan must not let it continue to develop.
The group of people in Qin Tianjian were in chaos here, and they couldn't find out anything, and this place was close to covering the heavenly machine, if it wasn't discovered.
The army gradually narrowed the blockade circle and determined the scope to a smaller place, and Lu Fan had already taken a flying horse to the mountain stream next to the corpse's nest at this moment, and the mountain stream here was not a fierce place surrounded by yin wind and demonic qi except for a cloud and mist.
If it weren't for trivial matters, Lu Fan would be able to travel the world, and such a beautiful scenery would undoubtedly be Lu Fan's choice.
It's just that such a beautiful scenery is the blessed land that ordinary people yearn for, but why has it become a corpse land.
The black shadows in the sky also landed on the ground in a hurry, and the arrows on people's backs were all special arrows blessed by spells, and everyone went all the way to the cave, but found that in addition to some walking corpses near the mountain stream, they couldn't even see the zombies, which was very different from the information sent back by the Demon Corps before.
And Lu Fan didn't find the demon corps here here, and when he entered the cave, Lu Fan saw some charred green-faced and fanged zombies, the deeper he went into the cave, the more terrifying it became, and some white-haired flying zombies were also slashed on both sides of the cave, it seemed that these zombies had no power to fight back at all, and the people who killed these zombies must have a profound way.
In this way, it must be the sect of the cultivation realm that discovered this cave and came to kill the demons.
Thinking of this, Lu Fan's nervous heart finally relaxed a lot, and he was no longer the same as before. After nine bends and eighteen bends, we finally arrived in the center of the underground palace, and it was extremely dark along the way, but here was a bright light, and the light source was a bright auspicious cloud.
There are two groups of people on the side, and there is no difference in the clothing, but the weapons used by the people on both sides are very different, on the one hand, the weapons used by the people are all swords, and on the other hand, the weapons used are made of human bones, exuding a soul-piercing black light.
The two sides seemed to have been facing each other for a while, and they didn't pay much attention to the arrival of Lu Fan and the others, perhaps because they felt that Lu Fan and the others were not cultivators and were not qualified to participate in the confrontation between the two sides.
"In the dark clouds, don't deceive people too much in your righteous path, our Yin Corpse Sect and your Sword Sect have never had a grudge, why do you come to oppose us again and again?" the man holding the bone stick said in a deep voice.
"Wuyun Mountain, I don't bother to take care of the things in the cult, and I don't have the energy, as long as you are willing to leave the Yin Corpse Sect, I don't care about the rest of the sect when I return to the sect!"
"You are too lenient, do you think you are? Not to mention whether you have the ability to do it or not, I am bound to get this heavenly corpse alone. Last time, you ruined my good deed, scared the 'lamp corpse' away, and now you spoil my good deed, don't blame me for being merciless," said the man from Wuyun Mountain.
"Even if I destroy this corpse, I won't let you make mistakes again and again. Said firmly in the dark clouds.
Suddenly, the originally tense atmosphere between the two parties was on the verge of breaking out.
And Lu Fan was on the side, but the words he heard from the two sides were misty and unclear.
It's just that what kind of lamp corpse, what kind of heavenly corpse made Lu Fan foggy, but he couldn't come forward to ask.
Suddenly, the dense light suddenly fluctuated, and it seemed that an ancient demonic beast was sleeping inside, and now it was about to wake up. Before that, two bursts of Edgeworth's light spread out.
"In the dark clouds, you wait. From now on, I will be inseparable from you!" only this sentence echoed in the cave.
Suddenly, purple light and golden rays filled the entire underground palace.
And when Lu Fan and the others wanted to leave at this moment, they found that their bodies were uncontrollable and couldn't move, even Lu Fan was struggling, and as Lu Fan's resistance became more and more dense and surging towards Lu Fan, he couldn't move, and at this time, a female corpse floated in the air, her eyelids moved, but she couldn't open them.
