Chapter 55: Ghost Town

Seeing this scene directly made Qin Sixteen's scalp feel numb, and looking behind the leading forbidden army, all the forbidden soldiers were such a strange appearance, the night wind was blowing, with a sinister chill.

Putting away the dagger in his hand, the soldiers crossed in front of Qin Sixteen, as if they didn't see him at all, although the empty eye sockets didn't look like they could see people.

Qin Sixteen stood in place for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses, even if he was used to killing people and being killed by others, he was shocked by the scene he had just seen. Because he could feel that the forbidden troops defending the city were actually still alive.

The footsteps of the first team of forbidden troops left, and the footsteps of the second group of forbidden troops came from another direction, and Qin Sixteen looked sideways. Before the dark figure appeared, the faint light of the fire and the smell of corpses came first.

Covering his mouth and nose with his sleeves, Qin Sixteenqiang endured his nausea and stared at the direction from which his footsteps came.

The firelight flickered, and the forbidden army of the second team finally came to Qin Sixteen's eyes, a burst of red light flashed, and Qin Sixteen held a dagger in one hand, once again blocking the front of the leading soldiers.

As before, the entire group of forbidden troops stopped when they encountered obstacles. The smell of rotting corpses was too permeating, and the sweaty sleeves were completely irresistible, Qin Sixteen lowered his arms and began to hold his breath.

Although he couldn't smell the smell, the vomiting sensation in Qin Sixteen's stomach did not decrease, but it worsened a lot when he saw the appearance of the soldier.

In front of them, the bodies of the forbidden soldiers had begun to fester, and maggots were shuttling back and forth between their eyes and mouths......

His patience had reached its limit, and Qin Sixteen avoided his side and lay down on the edge of the city wall and retched downward. The forbidden army defending the city, which had lost its block, once again took neat steps and marched away.

After shaking for a while, Qin Sixteen barely restrained the cramps in his stomach, turned around and sat down on the ground, squinting and thinking about what he had just seen and heard.

It's not that his endurance is poor, the bloody wind and rain, the corpse mountain and the sea of blood Qin Sixteen have also experienced. A little stench and dazzling corpse smell didn't hurt, but the most unbearable thing for Qin Sixteen was that there was still a faint breath on these forbidden soldiers who were about to become dead corpses.

Qin Sixteen, who had experienced countless reincarnations of life and death, was the most sensitive to the breath of the living, so he knew that these soldiers who were like dried corpses were actually still alive! This was the reason why he was in a trance, unconsciously stopped holding his breath, inhaled the smell of corpses and began to vomit.

There was a sound of the footsteps of the forbidden army in the distance again, unwilling to see the creepy scene again, Qin Sixteen also turned his heart sideways, jumped directly into the city wall in the city, and began to climb down.

The arm was still trembling uncontrollably, the acid water in the stomach had not completely calmed down, Qin Sixteen's face was gloomy like water, and his eyes were full of suspicion, where the royal capital of Sheng Xin Kingdom was, such a terrifying scene could happen!

If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Duxue was trapped in Tongzhou City and couldn't leave, Qin Sixteen at first would have jumped to the other side of the wall and fled in a hurry.

For Qin Sixteen, the top priority was to quickly infiltrate the Li Palace, and ask for a way to help Xiao Duxue get rid of the monks of Yuxiao Mountain. As for what was going on in the city, he didn't want to know, and he didn't dare to know!

With a plan in his heart, Qin Sixteen's movements on his hands and feet also became sharp, and it didn't take long for him to climb down more than half of the height, wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead with one hand, glance down, and pause suddenly.

The strangeness on the city wall was too shocking, so Qin Sixteen just now didn't carefully observe the situation in the city, but at this ordinary glance, Qin Sixteen's hands trembled even more, and a trace of cold sweat oozed from his palms, and the dagger inserted in the crack of the wall was almost unstable.

In Tiansheng City under the city wall, it was pitch black at the moment, without the slightest light. Listening carefully, there was no movement in the wind, and all the sounds and lights were all coming from the "dry corpses" on the city walls.

Qin Sixteen, who grew up in Tiansheng since he was a child, is too familiar with this city, and the bustling nightlife in the royal capital is beyond the imagination of the people of other small cities.

Singing and dancing, drunken gold fans, warblers singing and dancing, this is what a prosperous Tiansheng should look like. Although the current Tiansheng City has been closed for a long time due to the impact of the battle for imperial power, it is impossible for the whole city to be silent, and even the central imperial city is also a dead silence.

Not only his hands, but Qin Sixteen's entire body began to tremble slightly, this time it was not because of physical exhaustion, but because he was really afraid. Qin Sixteen, who inherited the bloodline of the so-called Heavenly Master, does have the ability to "resurrect" out of common sense.

But that's just a "resurrection" for him to return to half an hour ago, and if he is turned into a living corpse like the soldiers on the city wall, what is the point of resurrection?

It is crafted into a dried corpse, then dies, and is resurrected as a dried corpse and dies again......

If things really turn out like that, then what awaits him is that life is better than death! Qin Sixteen's heart was struggling to the extreme, should he leave or stay?

In the end, the obsession with Xiao Duxue overpowered the fear in his heart, Qin Sixteen clenched his teeth and quickly climbed down. It's not just because he can't let go of the little county lord, there is another reason why Qin Sixteen made up his mind, and that is Yu Huaiyin!

King Li can spread the news from the city, it must be because of Yu Huaiyin, since Yu Huaiyin can enter and exit Tiansheng City smoothly, then he can too. Although in the head-to-head confrontation, Qin Sixteen was defeated by Yu Huaiyin, but when it came to concealment skills, he would not lose.

In fact, Yu Huaiyin's news from the city was close to ten days ago, and the situation in the city at that time might not be as grim as it is now, but these objective factors were all left behind by Qin Sixteen at the moment, because he didn't have the courage to think deeply.

Carefully climbed the city wall, Qin Sixteen's stealth suit was even wetter, fortunately the moon was on the side outside the city, and now he was standing under the wall but he was not shrouded by the moonlight, so he could not be so conspicuous.

With his back to the city wall and holding his breath, Qin Sixteen looked around, and there was still a dead silence in front of him, and there was not even the sound of house dogs and rats barking. The only thing he could hear at the moment was the pounding of his heart.

"Death is death, Lao Tzu is not a person who is afraid of death!"

Silently whispered in his heart, it was to cheer himself up, Qin Sixteen's sneaky figure began to shuttle through the empty streets, he didn't dare to walk on the side of the street, because he didn't know what was hidden in the house next to the street.

He didn't dare to use his inner qi either, because the blood-red color was too dazzling, and it would make him the only light in this dead city!

"Don't die, don't die, don't die......" Qin Sixteen thought silently in his heart, this time he was not thinking about himself, but King Li. In case King Li, like the soldiers on the city wall, becomes a living corpse, he will run away in vain.

Although he had avoided touching the houses next to the street as much as possible and kept running in the middle of the road, when he encountered a corner, Qin Sixteen still couldn't avoid approaching some people's houses.

But in the few times he approached, he felt a faint anger wafting through the room, which felt exactly like the dried corpse soldiers on the city wall.

Qin Sixteen's steps became faster and faster, a little tear seemed to be squeezed out of the corner of his eyes, his mouth began to shake unconsciously, and finally let out a very low whisper: "This palace is really far away!"
