Chapter 379: A Burning Defense
At this moment, the sky has just dawned, and the tide of corpses has begun to hit, Ning Feng is very strange, why does the leader of this level know that the corpse group will definitely besiege after the exorcism grass is used up, but he still insists on losing and is unwilling to ask for help from the outside, this is undoubtedly a meaningless thing, can hundreds of people hold the defensive level built in the next few days? It is undoubtedly very difficult.
Of course, Ning Feng was not a person in that circle, and he still took many things for granted, didn't the Scar Regiment Leader ask for help from the outside? Of course, he asked for help, and almost a third of the team members were sent out before and after, including his good brother, the third-in-command of the Nine Swords Mercenary Group.
But the ending was unsatisfactory, or it made people desperate, all the people sent out died, even the fifth level of the martial arts, and the third child who was ashamed of his own scar also died, and there was no doubt that the Nine Swords Mercenary Group already knew that someone outside was targeting them.
From the perspective of an insider, it may be that the opponent of the mercenary world is designed to kill them and don't want them to go back alive, but from the perspective of an outsider, this kind of thing is a bit like the situation that Ning Feng encountered in Yanshan Town, the big mercenary group grabbed some small mercenary groups or people who were not threatening to send them to death, but one was to distract the monsters, but their hand was to distract the corpses.
It is to let the people in their checkpoints have no way to go to the sky and no way to go to the ground, so that they have no other way but to defend them, so that they can always attract the attention of the corpses, of course, what is the truth of the matter, Ning Feng doesn't care about it now, the survival rules of the little people are always just to survive, and when they can look down on those high-ranking existences one day, any conspiracy and trickery is actually just a sword on the way of martial arts, so it is also doomed, these people will not be able to become the climate for a lifetime.
"Let's go, over there, pay attention to the surrounding situation at any time, and keep an eye on it!" Ning Feng said to Lu Yun behind him, Lu Yun's cultivation was not worried about him, but he had less experience, seeing him was like seeing himself who had just stepped out of the mountain a year ago, and he was not wary of anyone, which could be seen from the fact that he could trust himself and the fat man so quickly, this is a good thing and a bad thing, the key is to look at the environment, the current situation is full of dangers, obviously this kind of temperament is very dangerous.
After Ning Feng finished speaking, he ran towards the chaotic wall in front of him with a broken sword wrapped in black cloth, and as soon as he arrived, he was taken aback by the situation outside the city wall, most of the fence outside the city wall had been reopened, and it was densely covered with corpses, and the corpses behind him leaned over with empty eyes, during the day, the corpses were much slower to move, although it was only dawn, but it was obvious that the first batch of corpses were all low-level corpses, and the number of deaths piled up made Xiao Qi, who was commanding above the level, have a headache.
Ning Feng didn't say much, he climbed the wall with the broken sword, and looked at the group of corpses that were getting closer and closer outside, the defense of the checkpoint was compared to the previous when he was in the Feng family's army, whether it was defending the city or attacking the city, the entire fortification was actually similar to paper paste, after all, it was built temporarily, and it was built by a group of laymen, so it could play a certain role in buffering the corpses.
The current situation is not very pessimistic for the time being, the corpses have only broken through part of the fence, and no one will be stupid enough to jump outside the city wall to die, and now the main force of the confrontation is still some relatively low cultivation warriors, desperately throwing fire bottles and hay on the corpses below, stones or anything is useless.
This is the experience they have summed up a few times before, the body of the corpse is extremely terrifying, ordinary stones are difficult to hurt in the slightest, plus the strength of these warriors is limited, it is impossible to use much strength to move the spiritual power to move stones, although the realm of the previous group of corpses is low, and the breath is not strong, but their physical bodies are more terrible than the same level of demonic beasts, and the most important thing is that these undead have no consciousness, no pain, and they can't feel pain.
As long as it is not a fatal attack, they push away the rolling stones, even if they are missing arms and legs, they can stand up and continue to kill after a while, I have to say that the horror of the undead is undoubtedly revealed in the corpses, and ordinary martial artists have no way to deal with such monsters at all, and even the two or three meters high earthen wall that they are standing on now, Ning Feng is very suspicious that he can resist the corpses or not.
Corpses are not terrible, terrible corpses also have fucking martial arts, although the walking corpses cannot use spiritual power, but the spiritual power in front of them will turn into a shield around them, which is also the key to the strength of the warriors to distinguish the strength of the corpses. But the living corpse is interesting, it can manipulate spiritual power, it can not only jump, run, bite, and even reach the realm of the martial king, but also fly......
This is undoubtedly desperate, and it is also the lingering haze in the hearts of the high-level members of the Nine Swords Mercenary Group, this place is so close to the tomb of King Wu, even if there is a king's corpse infested, they will not have the slightest accident, on the contrary, it is the abnormality of the strength of the corpse tide these days, which makes them even more worried, where did those powerful corpses go?
After more than ten days of perseverance, they stubbornly held their stronghold, and encountered the most terrifying wave of corpses, led by only two living corpses of the Martial Sect realm, with the same brilliance as people in their eyes, but they couldn't speak, that is to say, they were slowly transforming into walking corpses and becoming real walking corpses.
The two living corpses of the Martial Sect, plus hundreds of corpse minions, the breath ranges from Linghui to Lingwu, almost a disaster for the temporary level of the elderly, sick and disabled who are only more than 300 people, sometimes the number can really determine the success or failure of a battle, not to mention a large group of corpses who are unconscious and only know how to kill.
The result was very surprising, the people of the Nine Swords Mercenary Regiment guarded the checkpoint, and they only paid the price of dozens of deaths, yes, fighting with the corpses, there were no injuries, only death, even if you were just bitten by the corpse and scratched a little skin, the people here will let you leave, and they will put you on the death list.
This is the cruelty of fighting with the army of the undead, but the Nine Swords Mercenary Regiment won more with less, and actually turned the tide of the battle from defeat to victory, in terms of comprehensive ability, the strength of the corpse group was at least two to three times that of them at that time, but they won, and the corpses like locusts crossing the border retreated, all of which really made people feel incredible.
The reason is very simple, just because they improvised and carried out the decapitation operation, and the two of them joined forces at the same time by Scar and the drunkard, and attacked and killed the two living corpses of the Martial Sect realm with a quick knife to cut through the mess, and the result was really surprising to them, the corpses retreated, at least most of the corpses retreated.
This made them even more uneasy and curious, and it was an incredible thing that the emotionless corpse man actually didn't drag the mud and water when he retreated.
Uneasy, because they were shocked to discover a terrible fact that they couldn't even accept, since the Tianfeng chaos, the Feng Family Army, the Wang Division, and the Poison Division were scorched in the Fu Corpse Ridge generation, and then the inexplicable corpses were involved, and in just a few months, the corpses have been like locusts crossing the border, sweeping half of the Tianfeng Empire.
The result of the war is now clear, the three brothers of the Feng family have sprung up, the imperial city has become famous in Nanchuan, the Feng family has won, but the biggest winner is not them, but the army of undead who is slowly growing and expanding in secret, they have almost no weaknesses, their spread and development speed is very fast, and the way to infect ordinary people and warriors is unguardable.
Scratched and bitten by them, drinking the water of the river that the corpse has trodden, and eating the crops that the corpse has passed through, they will all be infected into a member of the army of the undead, and what is desperate is that the people who have noticed this in Nanchuan so far are still helpless.
Soldier to soldier, general to general, people with low cultivation must also be mobilized, to let them know the meaning of holding the stronghold, the corpse group has grown, they have begun to become organized, which means that they have their own kings like Warcraft.
There are not many corpses in the realm of Martial Sect, but there are definitely a lot, they can deter hundreds of corpses, but they can never deter thousands of corpses, they can't deter tens of thousands of corpses, behind the corpse soldiers who seem to be vulnerable in front of him, there is at least a corpse king at the level of a martial king, and a corpse king, at least can control and deter dozens of corpses in the realm of Martial Sect, with clear order and strict hierarchy, if all this is after a while, Ning Feng has begun to dare not imagine the seriousness of the situation.
Ning Feng didn't know that the Nine Swords Mercenary Group had been subjected to a regular tide of corpses a few days ago, and if he knew, he was afraid that he would be shocked a little more in the bottom of his heart, because of the matter of time.
He is now looking at the heights, although he is a little worried about the future of the Tianfeng situation, knowing that it is imminent for Feng Xingtian to hand over his order to the scholars, but he does not have that feeling of death or death, he just simply thinks that the corpse king behind the command and control of the corpse man behind the tomb of my martial king is the three-headed corpse man they released underground a few days ago!
The fat man told him afterwards that the corpse king had carried the thunder tribulation with him back and forth, if there was no accident, it was at the level of the corpse emperor nine times out of ten, and it was not surprising that it could have the ability to deter and organize corpse groups, even if it was unlucky and failed to survive the thunder tribulation, as long as there was still a trace of breath left, according to the terrible recovery ability of the corpse man, I am afraid that it would be able to recover soon, then at least it also had the strength of a half-step martial emperor.
What is the concept of a half-step Martial Emperor? Ning Feng didn't know, he only knew that he had used all his strength when he was at the peak of Linghui, and he couldn't help the three-headed corpse man who had just woken up after the fusion was not stable, according to his current estimate, the strength of the three-headed corpse at that time was at most at the half-step Martial King, or even just the peak of the Martial Sect.
That is, in a few moments of fighting, he was equivalent to being killed directly by the three-headed corpse man, if it wasn't for the sudden appearance of the demon who saved him for some reason, how would he have the opportunity to think about this now.
Ke Ning Feng's preconceived thoughts only took into account the three-headed corpse man who had survived the thunder tribulation, but did not think that there might be a powerful Martial Emperor corpse near the Martial King's tomb itself, and it was not impossible for the Corpse Emperor to have it early on, because the terrible thing about the undead was that their existence had already broken through the limits of the deceased's physical body.
As long as you can devour enough living people or the flesh and blood of powerful martial cultivators, even if it is a corpse person in the Linghui realm, it can quickly grow to the point of the Corpse Emperor, and it has not stopped, the Corpse Emperor is not the point.
Any food chain pays attention to the survival of the fittest, and the world of the undead is actually the same, the weak corpse man does not have the opportunity to counterattack and become a vicious corpse emperor, deterring the undead, and sometimes it may be that he accidentally drank some unclean water and ate some mutated meat......
However, all this only applies to living corpses, and there is actually a limit to the survival time of any living corpse, just like human beings will be born, old, sick and die, if they cannot break through and increase their lifespan before becoming walking corpses, they are also tools of other powerful living corpses to enslave.
Just like the large area of unconscious, hollow eyes, and numb limbs below now, a single fire can burn them clean, which is also one of their weaknesses, and the corpses under the Linghui are especially afraid of flames, and the fire attribute warriors have a certain advantage in fighting the corpses.
The fire burned, there were joys and sorrows, the joy was the corpses, a large area was extinguished, and the worry was that the fence below and all the wooden fortifications were burned, of course, compared to the results of the battle, this level of sacrifice is not even a waste at all, even if these fences may be the result of more than a hundred women, children and old people working hard for a few days, but it is really worth it to be able to radiate the light and heat of their insignificant power in a sea of fire.
