Chapter 151: Disguise
After the army had fully entered the Spirit Mountain, the huge stone gate was immediately closed, and Silver Moon saw that the sky was gradually whitening, and suddenly ignited the dead branches we had collected before, and the bright flames were particularly clear in the dark night.
"This firelight will be noticed by the defenders on Spirit Mountain." I looked at Yinyue in surprise and said in shock.
"How can we sneak into Lingshan without noticing?" Yinyue smiled faintly and said disapprerovingly. "We can't climb the Spirit Mountain."
I remembered that Yinyue had said that she was waiting for someone who would allow us to enter the Spirit Mountain, and I still don't know who she was waiting for, but as expected, soon after the dead branches were lit, we heard the sound of the huge stone door opening, and from inside, a piece of armor quickly attacked us.
"That's the scout of the Lingshan Country, during the day, there are beast demon corpses controlled by Wu Zhen to investigate and guard the surroundings, but at night, if there is any wind and grass, these scouts will hear the wind." Yinyue stood up and pointed to the depths of the mountains and forests and said to me. "We hid in the forest, and it was these scouts who were waiting for us to enter the Spirit Mountain."
Yinyue said while cleaning up the fire, and then took out a palm-sized demon beast from his body, the demon beast can actually shine at night, Yinyue put the demon beast down and hid in the grass in the forest with me, and in a moment the scouts of the wizards of Lingshan arrived, there were more than a dozen wizards with horn arrows, and if anything was wrong, they would notify the defenders on Lingshan with horn arrows.
The scout was attracted by the light and approached to see the beast, and I heard one of the wizard scouts say.
"Nothing unusual, just a fire rat."
"The Great Wizard of Wu Zhen has a life, any abnormal movement must be investigated clearly, in case something goes wrong, it is not so simple, two people in a group of two separately probe the surrounding abnormalities." It should be the leader of the scouts who speaks. "If you find it, immediately call for an arrow."
Those scouts did not dare to slack off when they heard that Wu Luo should be afraid of punishment, and they scattered to search around, two of them walked towards the grass where Yinyue and I were hiding, I held my breath for fear that the slightest movement would be detected by the scouts, but suddenly I found that there was a fire shining next to me, and I looked down to see that there was a fire rat in front of me, and Yinyue next to me had disappeared.
The light emanating from the fire rat immediately attracted the scout's attention, and I saw that one of the scouts had already bent his bow and arrows and was engrossed in the grass where I was hiding, and the other scout walked cautiously, they only needed to clear the grass to find me, and it should be easy for me to deal with the two scouts, but now the scout has an arrow in his hand, and the slightest movement will shoot out, and then our plan to sneak into the spirit mountain will be in vain.
For a while, I was at a loss for what to do, just at the moment of hesitation, the grass in front of me had been pushed away by the scout's hand, we were almost stunned when we looked at each other, I was hesitant and hesitant, and the scout's eyes were panicked, I must have thought that there were still people hiding in the grass, but I quickly reacted that the scout next to me had raised the bow and arrow.
At that moment, I suddenly saw nine white tails behind the two scouts, wrapping around the scouts' necks very quickly and accurately, gently twisting the two scouts before they could struggle, and the silver moon quietly dragged the two scouts into the grass, reverted to their human form, and asked me to change into the scout's clothes immediately.
I suddenly realized that what Yinyue had been waiting for was these scouts, the Lingshan moat was impossible to cross, the only way was to disguise myself as a scout to go in, I changed my clothes according to Yinyue's instructions, Yinyue found a branch to cover up the scout's corpse, the demon fox clan's charm and illusion of the demon power is incomparable, Yinyue used the demon method to turn us into the appearance of the scout just now, saw that everything was handled properly, picked up the blade and walked out.
Soon after, the other scouts also came back, and when they saw that there was no abnormality and left to return to Lingshan, Yinyue and I followed out of the mountain forest just when it was dawn, and in an instant, a corpse dove flew out of Lingshan, circling and cruising in all directions.
After entering through the open stone gate, I can take a closer look at the terrain here, the west pole of the demon world is completely blocked by the towering and steep Lingshan mountain range, and this passage is the only way to enter and exit the west of the demon world, the cliffs on both sides of the passage are sabre-rattling defenders, ready to be on guard at any time, and it is difficult to climb to the sky if you want to pass through this passage unharmed.
As soon as we entered, the stone gate was closed, and there was a wooden fence in the passage that could be lifted directly to the top of the mountain, controlled by an unknown giant demon on the top of the mountain, the barbarian was about the same height as the giant I saw, and the power was infinite, and the scout commander led us from the wooden fence to the top of the mountain.
Standing on the top of the mountain to know the danger of this Lingshan moat and extremely favorable terrain, from the top of the mountain, the line of sight is extremely open and far away can also be seen at a glance, plus the front of the Lingshan is the plain of a horse and a flat river, so standing here in the distance can be seen in the distance.
Yinyue and I followed silently at the end, Yinyue pulled the corner of my clothes, nodded to the other side and motioned for me to look, I turned my head to see a blue-robed wizard on the top of the Spirit Mountain looking up at the sky, if I didn't guess wrong, it should be Wu Xie who has divination and foreknowledge induction witchcraft among the ten witches, he relies on the sun, moon and stars to perceive the changes in the distance, and anything in this demon world can be predicted by it.
But now that we can enter Lingshan, it can be seen that the wizard of the Sanmiao Kingdom has really confused Wu Xie's judgment temporarily, I see that his expression is a little surprised and hesitant, presumably he should have noticed that something is wrong, but he can't accurately predict it, it can be seen how powerful this Wu Xie's witchcraft is, it must not take long for Wu Xie to detect it, no wonder Yinyue said that if Lingshan can save Wu Xian, he must be eliminated first.
Follow the scout leader to a military tent on the top of Lingshan Mountain, a wizard in a green robe is sitting in it, with a fierce bird on his shoulder, I don't know what kind of demon beast it is, but it looks extremely ferocious, the scout went in and buried his head respectfully, Yinyue and I also lowered our heads, and my afterglow glanced at the wizard, his eyes were white and there were no pupils, and he looked a little creepy, motionless from the military tent to the empty distance outside Lingshan.
The scout didn't say a word from the time he came in, he just waited until I saw the wizard's eyes flash, and the white membrane that had covered the eyes before closed to reveal the same pupils as us, and I thought to myself, this should be the witch who can control and drive the beast demon among the ten witches, and he was just scouting around with the eyes of the corpse dove.
"Can you find out the reason for the fire in the mountains and forests opposite?" Wu Zhen asked in a stern and low voice.
"It has been clearly investigated, it is the fire on the fire rat, just in case we separately investigate the surroundings and see no abnormalities." Scout Commander Returns.
"Fire rat ......," Wu Zhen said coldly as he stared at the Commander, paused for a moment. The fire rat is in Yanzhou, which is the extreme east of the demon world, and it is far away from this lofty mountain range, how can it appear in Lingshan? ”
"In the demon world, the demonic qi is weak now, and it is difficult for these beast demons to survive, and the Shenmu is in the Yushi country west of the Lingshan, the closer you get to the Shenmu, the demonic qi will barely be stronger, presumably these fire rats are chasing the demonic qi." The Scout Commander answered the questions like a stream. "During this time, there were many beast demons from all over the demon world, and they were thousands of miles away from Lingshan, presumably for this reason."
"The big war is imminent, there must not be the slightest mistake, the fire rat is in the east and there happens to be Qingqiu Country over there, and any movement over there cannot be taken lightly." Wu Zhen may also think that what the Scout Leader said makes sense, but he is still very cautious. "From tonight, the scouts will be in a group of ten people, with Lingshan as the center, and they will go deep into ten miles to patrol day and night, and once there is an abnormality, they will be warned by the arrows."
The scout commander nodded and received the order, this Wu Zhen is not good at stubble, he is sitting in Lingshan, fortunately, we did not act rashly and led the army to attack Lingshan, otherwise every move will be detected in advance, I am afraid that before we reach Lingshan, we will be ambushed by the army of the ten witches of Lingshan.
We followed the scout commander to return to the bottom of the mountain on the wooden fence, and immediately returned to the Lingshan country to dispatch troops according to Wu Zhen's order, and when we entered the Lingshan country, Yinyue and I dragged behind, and saw the opportunity to quietly break away and blend into the Lingshan country.
"We won't have much time left, Wu Zhen is now vigilant and will send scouts to inspect ten miles deep tonight, and these scouts will sooner or later find the remains of the wizards we have hidden in the mountains and forests." Silver Moon said to me in a low voice. "Once we find the Ten Witches of Lingshan, we will know that someone has infiltrated Lingshan, and we will definitely guard Wuxian to the death, not only will we not be able to save Wuxian, I am afraid it will be difficult to leave Lingshan."
"Wu Xian is imprisoned at the bottom of the black abyss in this city, let's go investigate first and see if there is a chance to enter." I nodded.
Although the Lingshan country is not as majestic as the Qingqiu country, but the momentum is extraordinary, Yinyue has been here once when the gods and demons are in the catastrophe, so I am quite familiar with the Lingshan country, I followed the silver moon through the intricate roads, and at a corner you can just see the army gathered outside the city, Yinyue and I were secretly shocked, the demon clan that surrendered to the ten witches of Lingshan was far more than we imagined, and the army gathered by the black pressure on the mountain was innumerable.
We also saw the shackles of some demon clans with iron chains, among which there were giants of the demon clan, these should be demon clans who refused to surrender, it seems that the attack on the country of one eye is also the ten witches of Lingshan, the country of one eye is blocked by the Qingqiu country in the east of the demon world, the ten witches of Lingshan do not hesitate to attack the country of one eye, it seems that the giants of the demon clan are extremely important to the ten witches.
I suddenly understood why the corpse would attack the Qingqiu Kingdom, so that the most powerful demon clan in the east of the Demon Realm could be dragged out, and the army of the Ten Witches of Lingshan took the opportunity to bypass the Qingqiu Kingdom and capture the next country before capturing these one-eyed giants to Lingshan.
