Chapter 314: The Realm of the Dead

Akon and Greenwing followed the sound of the flute to the ancient city, which was another cemetery, but different from the one they had encountered earlier by the ancient channel of the Qom River. The cemetery is eerie, also beside a dry ancient river.

There are only dozens of ancient tombs in the cemetery, each of which is a tomb of the deceased surrounded by a circular wooden stake in the middle, and seven circles are surrounded by wooden stakes more than a foot high, and form several rays, which are in the shape of the sun's radiating rays.

In the cemetery sat an ancient woman, with her back to them, as if she was playing the reed flute.

The paper crane on the shoulders of the green wings actually flew up, and this paper crane did not move its nest even when the army was fighting among them. Now it seems like a great enemy......

"Who are you? What attracted us here? Akon asked softly.

The woman didn't look back, but the flute melody changed slightly, but Akon and Greenwing immediately understood the answer, she was talking about her loneliness and wishing someone to accompany her.

Akon rolled his eyes and said, "You can join us, leave this place, and seek a more colorful life, better than staying here for a thousand years." ”

Green Wing glanced at Akon suspiciously, but did not ask, still staring at the woman in front of him with full attention, guarding against a possible attack.

The woman still expresses her meaning with the sound of the flute, saying that she cannot leave (cannot leave) this place. I just hope that someone can accompany her in her painful and lonely life.

The sound of the flute expressed itself as flexibly as language, and it did not make the two of them feel incomprehensible at all. I didn't feel any mismatch in the tactfulness.

"If you leave us alone, we'll only get a soulless shell, and you'll still be lonely. But if you can figure out a way to leave with us, you will have a rich and vibrant life. Akon continued to whisper temptation.

The flute was muffled, vague and hesitant, as if contemplating Akon's proposal......

…………

The ancient city of Loulan, the crescent moon is like a hook.

The clear moonlight illuminates the sea of sand for thousands of miles, and the dry sea of sand is filled with a dead atmosphere. Only on the head of the ancient city, the Tang soldiers with bright armor stood with swords, flesh and blood.

In this dead country, this group of fresh lives is as tempting as bait in a pond.

A soldier of the Tang Army on duty suddenly found that there was some movement on the Gobi in the distance, as if the corpses of those dead merchants were slowly crawling up......

This Tang soldier thought that he was too sleepy and was dazzled. I rubbed my eyes vigorously and looked at it carefully, but I was shocked that my scalp was numb and my hair stood up!

Those dried corpses are already limping towards the ancient city!

Tang Bing was shocked, took off the horn on his waist, and the sound of "woo-" and the dull sound made everyone wake up from their dreams! It even alarmed the dead sand sea outside the city! On the dry earth, countless mounds of earth arched, as if countless dry tumors arched on the cracked skin.

The dry tumor burst open, and the skeletons and corpses in the sandstorm emerged from inside! In the distance, more dry tumors arched, cracked, and layered, and there was no end in sight!

Zhang Fan stood at the head of the city, looking at the sea of dried corpses and skeletons in front of him, and his heart sank. Akon Greenwing, you should be fine!

More than 2,000 soldiers, each in place, and 500 cavalry were also ready to go. Zhang Fan's city defense skills were opened, and the Tang army and armed merchants who defended the gap between the city head and the north and south city walls increased their defensive power!

Zhang Fan summoned the leaders of the 100-man team and ordered them to command the battle. He came to the pagoda in the east of the city, recited the Buddhist mantra, and through the blessing of the pagoda, painted this ancient city with a layer of golden Buddha light!

The pagoda more than ten meters high, a pillar of Buddha light rises to the sky, illuminates the night sky of the sand sea, and lights up the entire ancient city of Loulan! On the five-meter-high loess city wall, huge Sanskrit characters are faintly lit up, swimming around, protecting the entire earth city.

The army of dried corpses and skeletons outside the city also began to pour towards the ancient city. Countless resentful spirits also began to appear in the sky, and the condensed black smoke clouds rushed down towards the ancient city!

When the black resentful soul smoke came into contact with the golden Buddha light, those resentful spirits immediately disappeared in a miserable hiss. But there were more resentful spirits rushing down, and they rushed into the city from the gap in the Buddha's light defense.

The archers of the Tang Army, under the order of the leading captain, hundreds of sharp arrows flew towards the resentful spirits in the air, but the sharp arrows passed through the resentful spirits, but the formation blessing and spiritual morale attached to the arrows still scattered the resentful spirits!

The dried corpses and skeletons outside the city crashed headlong into the Loulan city wall, and their bodies were immediately burned by the golden protective Buddha light. "Boom!

But these dried corpses and skeletons seemed to have received some indisobedient order, and while whimpering and screaming, they struggled to climb towards the city despite the damage of the Buddha's light! It's just that many of them have not yet climbed to the top of the city, and they have been burned by the Buddha's light and turned into ashes and blown away by the wind!

But more dried skeletons rushed up, desperately climbing up, oh, they were long gone. These dried corpses and skeletons have climbed the walls of the entire ancient city to the full, and there are no gaps! Looking at the soldiers at the head of the city is numb!

In the gap between the north and south city walls, there are countless dried corpses and skeletons trying to pour in! The soldiers guarding the gap collided with this group of undead army in advance! The spear that pierced from behind the shield could pierce three or four dried corpses with a single shot. Those pierced dried corpses were the spiritual damage blessed by the formation, turned into soot and dust, and dissipated!

But more skeletons are coming back! The soldiers of the Tang Army struggled to carry these undead monsters with their shields, causing them to crash into the defensive formation! But the pressure on Tang Jun's hands is getting bigger and bigger!

The battle at the head of the city also began fiercely! Tang Jun slashed and slashed these disgusting undead monsters with a horizontal sword! The defensive power of these dried corpse skeletons is not very high, and after passing through the weakening of the Buddha's light on the city wall, it is even more fragile to an extreme!

was slashed by a horizontal knife, and it became powder, but there are too many of these undead monsters, and they are really hard to kill!

Those armed merchants, seeing that these undead monsters were not very powerful, also rushed up and slashed hard, and slaughtered the first batch of dried corpse skeletons!

But it wasn't the warriors' turn to rest, and more undead monsters climbed up! The Tang military captains were all battle-hardened, and immediately let the reserve rush forward and replace the previous batch of Tang soldiers. But the armed caravans rose up and refused to obey orders. The leading lieutenant was angry and had no choice but to let them go.

However, the combat effectiveness of these civilian armed forces was originally inferior to that of the Tang Army, and they ran out of strength as soon as they came up, and they could not support it after a short time, and they retreated without waiting for orders. The Tang Army of the forward, the pressure has increased sharply!

Even the defensive line of some armed merchant brigades that blindly retreated collapsed for a while, resulting in casualties among some merchants, but fortunately, the Tang military captain who commanded the army immediately let the reserve rush up and plug the gap!

These rabble, not enough success, more than failure! The Tang military captain immediately dispersed these armed caravans and redistributed them to various Tang army ranks, each of which was a five-man Tang army and equipped with five or six armed caravans. The combat effectiveness of the city defense has increased significantly!

The defense of the Tang army was all based on the commander of the army, forming a formation to assist in the defense. It also occupies a favorable terrain and is naturally invincible. But dealing with the undead army that has no formation, but is a huge number and tireless, it takes a long time and is also very tiring. Those unreliable armed merchants gradually became paralyzed, but they were dragged down the city by the dried corpse skeletons, screaming and becoming one of them!

The defenders are starting to see casualties!

Zhang Fan's personal soldiers, who had already been prepared, saw that the city was in a bitter battle, and immediately ordered the cavalry troops to start attacking!

The defenders of the southern city gate, with an order, gave way to a passage. The dried skeletons that were pouring in immediately rushed in like a tidal wave. But I don't want to, and I will run into a cavalry unit head-on!

Five hundred cavalry, like the wind, rushed out of the city gate, trampling the dried corpse skeletons that had just rushed in into powder, just relying on the impact force, they plunged headlong into the undead army outside the city!

I saw that outside the ancient city, a triangular arrow was impacting in the sea of undead monsters like a broken bamboo! There was no spilled blood, no severed limbs, only countless undead monsters were smashed into ashes and scattered!

Five hundred cavalry circled the ancient city, and the pressure of the sergeants at the head of the city was suddenly dissipated. The ancient city is not big, the side is more than 300 meters long, and the cavalry goes around and slashes and kills, and the speed is fast, but those skeletons and zombies are invincible!

When the horsepower was about to be exhausted, the flag was raised at the head of the city, and five hundred cavalry rushed back and entered the city to rest. The boundless undead army surged up again, and the Tang army at the head of the city fell into a bitter battle again......

Among the caravans that followed the Tang army, there were also some who were not merchants, and among them were also Qiuci monks who went to the Tang Dynasty to communicate, and they were also helping the pagoda at this time. Help Zhang Fan maintain the operation of the pagoda and Dharma.

Zhang Fan escaped and left the pagoda, and ordered the Tang soldiers guarding to protect him, and climbed the city to check the battle. I saw that the dried corpses and skeletons under the city were killed countless times, but they did not decrease. I hesitated.

After carefully observing the sound for a while, Zhang Fan nodded, it turned out that these undead monsters were not really killed, but after being attacked, they turned into flying dust, but after a short time, there was a raised mound of soil on the ground, which emerged from it.

Zhang Fan recited the Buddha mantra and controlled a skeleton, only to see this skeleton struggling in front of Zhang Fan, but where could he escape. After a short time, it was turned into a puff of ashes by Buddha's power. But Zhang Fan didn't give up, and he still couldn't stop spelling.

I saw a transparent figure emerge from the flying ashes, sighing and flying into the air......

That's what really overkills it! Zhang Fan knew that he was able to overtake the undead monsters. But how can he surpass so many resentful ghosts and ghosts by himself!

Zhang Fan sighed, took out the 'vajra', lit up the spirit sword skill, cursed in his mouth, and swept towards the undead monster! The two lightsabers of the vajra pestle swayed a piece of light and shadow at the head of the city, and those skeletons and dried corpses turned into flying ashes when they were touched, and they were even more exceeded in Zhang Fan's magic power!
