Chapter 197: The Undead Army
After a moment of joking, Ao Jin still changed back to his original body, the Golden Beard Divine Ao. Carrying the route we had traveled back to.
In the camp, Lao Qin saw that we were back, and hurriedly greeted us: "You can be regarded as coming back, today there is a message from the sentry post at the foot of the mountain, and a group of mysterious people have also appeared near here, but it is not clear whether they are friends or foes." ”
"Do you know their purpose?" Old man Xiao looked at Lao Qin.
"It seems that I came here for this demon Jiao, but I have already sent someone nearby to look for their traces." There was a faint hint of worry on Lao Qin's face.
"It seems that we can't wait any longer, we must get rid of that demon Jiao first." Ao Jin looked at us and said.
Lao Qin pointed to the conference room and said, "In this way, you go to the conference room to sit down for a while, and I will call Lao Liu and Lao Sun to come over, and let's have a simple meeting." After speaking, he hurriedly walked to Lao Liu and Lao Sun's tent.
Not long after, Lao Liu and Lao Sun also came to the conference room and sat down.
Lao Qin stood up and waved his hand and said, "Now there is another group of people who are also eyeing that demon Jiao, and we have to get rid of that demon Jiao before they do it anyway, so I gathered you here to discuss it with you." ”
Lao Sun coughed and then slowly stood up and said, "Senior brother, you take them to deal with that demon Jiao." I took someone on guard to search for the whereabouts of those people. ”
Lao Qin nodded: "At present, this is the only way, our soldiers are divided into two ways, all the way to deal with the demon Jiao, all the way to search for that group of people near the two sides of the strait, we must not let them succeed." ”
Ao Jin looked at me: "Boy, you and those two old men follow me." Little girl, you can search on both sides of the strait with them! After all, the strength of that demon Jiao should not be underestimated. ”
"Uncle Qin, your legs are not very convenient. He was responsible for bringing someone to pick us up on the shore. I said to Lao Qin with a smile.
"Do those people also want to deal with the demon Jiao?" Jiang Yimeng suddenly asked curiously.
"It is possible, or it is possible that they want to catch the demon Jiao alive to refine it into a demon dragon." Old man Xiao said.
"If they refine the demon dragon, then the world will be devastated, and the consequences will be unimaginable." Lao Qin took Old Man Xiao's words and said.
"Is it possible that they are also here for something on the demon Jiao's body?" The ghost doctor, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"You must know that Jiao Gu is a rare medicinal material in the world, and that Demon Jiao Dao is not low, and the Inner Dan in the body is a good thing." The ghost doctor continued to speak calmly.
"That's right! You're right! This is also possible. Old man Xiao nodded, agreeing with the ghost doctor's opinion.
"But who are they?" Ao Jin suddenly looked at Lao Qin.
"We don't know their identities, but the soldiers standing guard at the foot of the mountain found that each of them was a practitioner, and the aura in their bodies was not weak. The man taking the lead has a strangely shaped bug tattoo on his arm. Lao Qin said.
Old man Xiao pondered for a while and then said, "Could it be the people of the Xu family in southern Xinjiang?"
"What? The Xu family? Is it the Xu family again?" As soon as I heard Old Man Xiao say the word Xu family, I shouted out in surprise.
"Are they covered with black veils?" Old Man Xiao ignored me, but turned his head and asked Lao Qin.
"Yes, each of them wears a black veil mask." Lao Qin nodded.
"That's right, they are the dead soldiers carefully cultivated by the Xu family, known as the undead army." Old Man Xiao began to show a look of fear on his face. Hassle-free
"The Undead? Are they numerous? Since it's a human being, it should be beaten to death!" It's also the first time I've heard of the mysterious organization of the Undead Army.
"They are not living people, but dead corpses that have been raised with Gu worms or magic. They're already dead, how do you want them to die? Old man Xiao looked at me with a sneer.
"Is it the same as the Gu corpse we dealt with in Sichuan before?" I suddenly remembered that when I was in Sichuan before, I had dealt with a few Gu corpses.
"Gu corpse? Hum! That kind of low-level thing is simply pediatric in front of the undead army. Old man Xiao said.
Old Man Xiao looked at our surprised expression and continued to explain: "Every member of the Undead Army was an outlaw in his lifetime, because he was murderous. After death, the murderous aura will continue to condense in their corpses. The people who refined the undead army would soak those corpses with the juice secreted by the Gu grass, and then bury them on the dragon veins along with the containers, allowing those corpses to absorb the dragon qi of the dragon veins. After soaking for a period of time, the corpses have absorbed enough dragon qi from the dragon veins, and their joints will become very flexible, and then the people who refine the undead army will put the Gu worms into the bodies of those corpses. In other words, as long as you control the Gu worm, you are manipulating the corpse.
After the Gu worms in the corpse completely adapted to the host, they began to train them in all kinds of killing skills. The most crucial step is to send the soul. ”
"Parasitic spirits? Is it to seal the soul inside the corpse?" Lao Qin asked.
Old Man Xiao shook his head: "You are only half right, those dead souls must be resentful souls who have been displaced in the world for hundreds of years. And the greater the resentment of the resentful spirit, the stronger the undead army refined. Even if you dispel the sealed souls in their bodies, they can still command the undead army by controlling the Gu worms. But if the dead army has a soul in their body, they can act automatically, without any control. ”
"How to say that! Aren't they invincible?" I exclaimed.
"They are not afraid of swords, axes, or water. It's really not that easy to deal with them! Old man Xiao shook his head and sighed.
"Then I'll first dismantle them into eight pieces, and then disperse their souls, and see if they die." Ao Jin looked at Old Man Xiao disdainfully.
"If the Gu worms in their bodies don't die, they will heal automatically. Not to mention the dismantling of eight pieces, even if it is chopped into mashed meat, it can still restore its human form. The corners of Old Man Xiao's mouth rose slightly, obviously the big unloading that Ao Jin said was useless for the undead army.
"Ignore them for now, our purpose is the demon Jiao that is about to cross the catastrophe, no matter what, we just need to get rid of the demon Jiao first." Lao Sun sat next to Lao Qin and said.
"That water area is unfathomable, we can't fight underwater, that would be bad for us, we have to find a way to lure the demon Jiao to the shore." Ao Jin spoke his mind.
"So be it! I'm stronger underwater than everyone here, so I'll be the bait to lure it out. A few of you will be responsible for dealing with it on the shore. "Ao Jin also understands that among those of us, he has the strongest underwater combat power, after all, he is a god who has cultivated for thousands of years. Now that he has obtained the Ancient Divine Soldier Cold Light Sword, his combat power is naturally much higher than before.
"How are you going to lure it out? What if it doesn't fool you? Lao Qin looked at Ao Jin worriedly.
"Don't worry! When the time comes, I will manifest my true body and pretend to vomit in that water, and spit out my inner dan. And it is a cultivator of the Demon Dao, so naturally it will not miss this opportunity. Ao Jin said, pointing to his chest.
Originally, he planned to use his Neidan as bait, but if he failed, without Neidan's Ao Jin, his Taoism and combat effectiveness would inevitably decline. In severe cases, Ao Jin may turn back into a normal carp forever.
Thinking of this, I looked at Ao Jin with some concern: "Brother Ao, this method doesn't work." If your Nedan is gone ... ”
Before I finished my words, Ao Jin glared at me fiercely: "Stinky boy, don't talk nonsense, how can my Neidan be so easy to take!" ”
"If Nedan is taken away by the Demon Jiao, then what should you do? Be a fish forever?" Old man Xiao also thought of this.
"It's a big deal that I'll blow myself up again and die with it!" Ao Jin said nonchalantly.
But his words pierced my heart like a needle, Ao Jin is a half-dragon body, and he has cultivated for thousands of years, so he has two inner pills in his body.
But the last time he was in the Yellow River to help us deal with the giant turtle, he had already blown himself up once.
And now, there is only one Neidan left in his body. If he chooses to blow up the Inner Dan again this time, he will be completely wiped out and vanished, and the Dao practice he has worked so hard to cultivate for thousands of years will also come to naught.
