Chapter 077. Ghostly infiltration
Sticky, blackened blood mixed with stumps and severed arms were everywhere.
Inside an abandoned village town.
The face of the samurai of the imperial family was gloomy, and he sat on the ground next to him with considerable weakness, and the originally neat and exquisite Keto Pill style armor had become full of scratches at this time, and even the katana in his hand had collapsed into a few small gaps.
The five lower-level samurai also sat around paralyzed, covered with viscous and blackened blood, gasping for breath, the hanging armor on their bodies was already tattered, and the wounds were all over the body from top to bottom, looking extremely terrifying, but fortunately there were no wounds that could hurt their lives, just excessive exertion, just rest in time.
There's no way, just now, I found that the ghost thing appeared, and when I was fighting, there were more ghost things pouring out of the abandoned village town, about 20 heads, which really made them waste a lot of effort.
If it's an ordinary ghost, of course they can handle it easily.
But the ghost thing encountered this time actually has real soul power, and I don't know where it comes from, which makes these warriors feel a little difficult in the fight.
Of course, it was still easy to win this fight, after all, there were imperial warriors here, plus these five lower-level warriors all cultivated the power of the Dao, and Nansa Castle's Kongliu swordsmanship was also quite strong, so they won to the end.
The warrior of the Imperial Family breathed slowly, calmed down the fluctuations in his heart, and said in a deep tone: "Don't stay here for a long time, we'd better get out of here quickly!" He looked around at the complex environment around him, and his tone became more and more solemn: "The corpse just now, if I remember correctly, should be Momotaro on the side of the road, but I didn't expect it to become a ghost!"
The surrounding low-level samurai have also come to this conclusion through their clothing and body shape, combined with previous information: "That's right, in the village town before, those ashigaru people said that's it!"
When they were collecting information in Hachifan Mountain Village, although they didn't take it very seriously, they also came to the same conclusion, that is, Momotaro on the side of the road and the ashigaru people who followed him to find out the information about the yokai all died here, so that they were corrupted by the ghost qi or the resentment left by themselves in life, resulting in the transformation into ghosts.
Coincidentally, they were encountered, and finally there was a fierce conflict, I have to say that the world is impermanent, and the faces of these warriors are also extremely ugly, after all, although this fight was won, it was not easy.
After a short rest, the battlefield was not even cleaned up, and the warriors summoned their horses and left.
The sound of horses' hooves.
It didn't take long for this abandoned village town to be left with only stumps and broken arms all over the ground.
However, the light of the stars and the moon was shrouded in a black cloud that drifted from nowhere, and in the ruins of the abandoned village town, a puff of black smoke slowly filled the ruins, shrouding it in the shape of a human.
The position of the eyes is scarlet.
"The samurai of Minamisa Castle?"
A low, hoarse voice appeared in the black smoke: "How did they end up here?"
Black Smoke's tone was even more angry and deeply hateful: "It's really damn it, I finally found some corpses that are still alive, and I was discovered before I even did a good job of disguise!"
The black smoke slowly swam away, but there was no way to continue to control the stumps and severed arms all over the ground.
The scarlet color in his eyes was even worse.
Twist your head.
The hideous gaze looked in the direction of the Eight Fan Mountains to the west.
It's just that at this time, the scarlet hideous eyes flickered slightly, as if he was hesitating, but he quickly made up his mind: "You must get the body of a living person!" There was still a bit of anxiety in its voice: "If there is no way to enter the castle town because I have no body, and the matter is delayed, the city lord will definitely not let me go!"
This time, it came out of the city of the ghost wolf's lair, and it was ordered by the city lord to go to the castle town to inform the humans who had rebelled, and began to make further secret arrangements, or to get the corresponding information about the nearest Nansa Castle.
And if you want to enter the castle town, you must have a human body as a cover.
Originally, according to the plan, they were all pieced together with the flesh of several humans, and the ghost qi in their bodies was locked with the flesh and blood that was still alive, so that they could quietly enter the castle town and not be detected by the enchantment arranged by Nansa Castle.
It's not a monster, it's a ghost, it's been cultivated for a hundred years, and it can live like a human being, as long as it uses enough fresh flesh and blood, even if it lives in a human race for a long time, as long as it doesn't attract the attention of those samurai, it can easily lurk.
Of course, this abundance of fresh flesh and blood means that blood and flesh must be killed every day, otherwise it will stench from the decomposition of the patchwork corpse after a long time, and it will be easily detected.
Originally, it was going to go to the surrounding villages and towns to attack those patrols, but it found this fat body in the wild, so it manipulated it to the abandoned village town, and found so many corpses, all of which had only been dead for three or five days, and because they were damp and cold, they were not completely corrupted, so they were barely usable.
It's just that it doesn't take half a day to go to the castle town to exchange some information and arrange some things, so it wants to use its ghost power to piece together a corpse that barely meets the requirements to carry itself.
Unexpectedly, the corpses had just begun to be put together, but a team of samurai arrived.
It's just ghosts.
Where can you fight with an illusory body and a body without substance?
Therefore, most of the ghost power can only be instilled into these corpses, and the resentment of these corpses can be induced to form low-level ghosts, and then self-destruct from the critical time, and the ghost aura is overflowing, so that it hidden in the ground is not discovered.
Floating like a cloud, it didn't care anymore about the severed limbs here.
What do you care about when you lose your use value?
"So..."
Its scarlet eyes flickered: "I'm going to continue to find some humans in the village!"
Having lost most of its ghost power, most of the ghost energy that condensed its own body dissipated, and now it can only kill some lonely humans, and it has to use some tricks: "As long as you move quickly, Nanzuo City will not find out!"
With that up to his mind, it drifted in the direction of Eight Fan Mountain.
Midair.
Its figure seemed to be invisible in the night.
It's just that its movements are still slightly stagnant, and its scarlet eyes look at the top of Bafan Mountain: "There... What's going on?" It noticed the lights and scale of the eight peaks of the mountain, and the many civilians sleeping on the top of the mountain.
Quite popular, extremely strong, and it is sure that it is an ordinary human being.
No samurai existed.
Even the Ashigaru doesn't seem to have one!
It's like pie-in-the-sky good things for ghosts or ghosts.
After a moment of pause, it looked down at the village town below where the blood was rising, those ashigaru people gathered, and the ordinary ghosts didn't dare to approach at all, and it was originally worried about how to find the lone ashigaru people!
But now, it suddenly had its own thoughts, and directly turned into a violent wind and rushed to the top of Bafan Mountain!
It does need corpses.
But as a ghost, devouring the growth of human souls is also a top priority.
Now, with so many defenseless human beings appearing in front of it, it may not be possible to devour them all, but as long as it devours the souls of dozens of people, then it will be a qualitative leap for it!
The speed of flying in mid-air was very fast, and it didn't take a moment to come to the top of Bafan Mountain, looking at the six strange-looking buildings below, its figure slowly drifted downward, and a strange energy was also diffuse, and the black smoke-like body was winding like a snake, and it came directly to the only three-story building that was obviously located in the middle.
Through the window, it saw a middle-aged human in red armor, sitting cross-legged on a tatami mat to rest, but when it entered the room through the gap, it found this human wearing red armor...
…… I opened my eyes.
