Chapter 296: Enchanted?
Led by Oni Aoyama, Oni Shura soon saw that he had entered another dune cave.
This cave was even larger than the previous one, covering tens of thousands of square meters, with faint flames flickering on the walls, and thousands of humans lying crookedly in the center, all with their eyes closed, as if they were all unconscious, guarded by hundreds of eerie ghost beasts.
"Princess, that's the Lingdu coming. ”
Ghost Shura looked towards the side of the cave, and saw ten humans respectfully stepping forward, all dressed in silver, and the leader was a man, compared to the others, he had a different quality - clean.
First of all, his beard was neatly shaved, leaving only a small handful at the chin, and his hair was meticulous and neatly brushed back. Secondly, unlike his companions, his face and body were spotless, and there was nothing superfluous at all.
Oni Shura raised an eyebrow, slightly interested in this human.
"Lingdu sent Shang Rong and met Princess Shura. ”
"Shang Rong, what a strange name!" Ghost Shura spit out his little tongue, licked it lightly on his lips, squinted at Shang Rong, seemed to be studying something, and said after a while: "Tell me, why are you cleaner than your kindred?"
Shang Rong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "Don't hide it from Princess Shura, the villain has some cleanliness habits, so he is not used to dirty things on his body." ”
"Cleanliness?"
Ghost Shura frowned slightly, as a brute beast, it had not heard these two words, but it could still guess the specific meaning.
The next moment, it rolled its eyes, then a ghostly smile appeared on its face, and it snapped its fingers as it reached out.
"Little baby!"
Roar!
A deafening roar suddenly appeared in the cave, and then a huge thorn as long as a foot long rushed out of the ground in an instant, raising countless dust in front of Shang Rong's body, and after a while, he saw a three-zhang long chaotic rhino dead beast burrow out from under the ground.
Syllable!
Another snap of the fingers.
Shang Rong's pupils shrank suddenly, as he saw the giant mouth of the Chaotic Rhino Dead Beast suddenly open half a meter in front of him, and a fishy and eerie smell instantly hit his nose.
It's going to eat me!
His body was occupied by fear, and he couldn't move at all, and he could only stare at the huge mouth of the black hole, as if he saw the end of himself.
The next moment, the whole body is cold.
"Hey, human, why aren't you reacting?
Shang Rong's mind stagnated for a long time, and finally resumed his operation under the probe interrogation of the ghost Shura, and then looked down at the viscous liquid on his body, mixed with a large amount of sand and dust, soaking his clothes.
Smelling the foul smell, a strong feeling of nausea welled up from the bottom of his heart, and finally stuck in his throat, and he didn't dare to explode.
The ghost Shura patted the chaotic rhino dead beast, and the latter disappeared into the ground with a bang, while it stepped forward, looked at Shang Rong curiously, and finally asked, "Human, didn't you say that you have a habit of cleanliness?
The eyes of several other humans behind him were filled with horror.
They were also frightened by that scene just now, and they all thought that the seemingly cute ghost princess in front of them suddenly summoned the dead beast in order to kill them all, but in the end, they didn't expect that the other party was just testing how Shang Rong's cleanliness would make him react.
One of them was worried and wanted to step forward to answer instead of Shang Rong, but saw Shang Rong's hand suddenly raised.
A smile appeared on Shang Rong's face with difficulty, and the disgusting feeling was desperately blocked by him in his throat, and then twisted the corners of his mouth, bowed his head and replied to the ghost Shura: "In front of the princess, the villain does not dare to be rude. ”
Hearing this, the ghost Shura suddenly felt bored, and the curiosity in his eyes came and went faster.
It waved its hand: "This is the last group of humans in the last second-level town, you can do it yourself, I have to go first!"
Shang Rong was stunned for a moment, and immediately raised his head and asked, "The last batch, princess, are you mistaken......?"
"Bold! Even a mere human dares to talk to the princess like this, looking for death!"
The ghost Qingshan on the side roared angrily, and the long ge in his hand slammed it to the ground, and a strong yin qi burst out from its body, instantly pressing Shang Rong and the others to the ground, making them have to swallow the problem back.
Ghost Shura looked back at Shang Rong, but the next moment he only smiled slightly, then turned his head and disappeared into the hole.
Ghost Qingshan stood in place, his ghost eyes glaring at everyone angrily, and after the ghost Shura left, he snorted coldly, gestured to the rest of the ghost beasts, and left together.
When it left, it left behind a cold word.
"The princess is a deal with the hosts, not humans, so the princess says that you can only take as many people as you want!"
Half an hour later, until all the movement outside the cave had disappeared, Shang Rong was able to get up from the ground.
Several people glanced at each other, but none of them made a sound, and after a while, Shang Rong threw a sentence "You are waiting here", and then walked out of the cave alone.
Leaving the cave, he casually chose a direction and walked over, and after walking a full half mile distance, he stopped, his face instantly became uncomfortable, and then quickly took off his clothes, and the vitality in his body began to wash away the saliva left on him by the rhino dead beast.
"It's disgusting...... Perverted Oni ......"
Whew-
The energy caused a gust of air, and in an instant, it blew open a layer of gravel on the ground, revealing a hole.
Shang Rong's movements paused, because when the cave entrance appeared, he seemed to hear a human voice coming from it, which was full of pain.
After a moment's hesitation, he cleaned his clothes in three or two, then sorted out the residue on his hair, and finally resisted the discomfort on his body, and carefully burrowed into the hole.
The cave was pitch black, and there was no human voice he had just heard, so Shang Rong took out a fire fold in his arms, and a flame ignited with a sweep of vitality.
In the light of the fire, he finally saw the scene inside the cave.
I saw that there was a two-foot square platform in the middle of the cave, and with the platform as the center, the sand layer on the ground was black and yellow, forming a strange pattern.
He guessed correctly, this cave was the cave where the Ghost Shura had asked the Ugush to devour human souls and advanced ghost generals, and on the ground was the ghost path formation used to assist.
Shang Rong frowned, not finding anything more, so he turned around and wanted to leave.
But as soon as he turned around, he felt something strange under his feet, the texture was not like an ordinary layer of sand, and it seemed that there was something else buried underneath.
After a moment's hesitation, he swept the ground on tiptoe.
Wow!
Just by looking at it, a feeling of nausea that was stronger than the beginning came up in his throat, and he suddenly vomited all the contents of his stomach.
Buried under the sand are not treasures, but human corpses that are crushed together and rotting!
These corpses seemed to have been dragged into the ground by something inexplicable, and the essence in their bodies had been completely absorbed, and the festering faces were squeezed together, and their painful expressions became distorted, looking extremely terrifying in the firelight.
Half a day later, Shang Rong finally stopped vomiting, but his face was still bruised.
He held back the discomfort in his chest, and mustered up his vitality to blow away a larger layer of sand, and as he expected, the cavern was full of human corpses, and a cursory count of them exceeded a thousand.
"It turns out that there are fewer people, they are all ......"
Shang Rong's fists were clenched tightly, his mouth was faintly white, and he couldn't tell whether he was shocked, afraid, or angry in his heart.
Eventually, he closed his eyes and sighed, then threw the fire fold in his hand.
The vitality swelled, and the flames suddenly grew larger, burning the corpses in the cave into a sea of fire.
Shang Rong stood outside the cave, the flames reflected in his pupils, burning and twisting.
......
In the year 224 of the abandonment of the boat, on the ninth day of the first month of March, a major event occurred in the Qinglong Domain and the Vermilion Bird Domain.
The two holy towers suddenly issued an order, and the two domains established the Blue Bird United Army, which was composed of the Vermilion Bird Army and the Blue Dragon Army, as well as eight first-class towns and cities, opened the border between the two domains, and spread out an unprecedented front in the northwest direction, joining forces to resist the incoming tide of dead ghosts and beasts.
On the tenth day of the first month of March, the Northwest Front of the Combined Army captured the traces of the tide of brute beasts for the first time, and launched a head-on battle, killing countless ghost beasts and dead beasts, and protecting the second-level towns and cities they attacked.
This was the first good news since the invasion of the Dead Ghost Beast Tide, and the morale of the Combined Army was greatly boosted.
From passive to active, this is a huge change, and everyone feels that as long as they can maintain it like this, the combined forces will definitely be able to annihilate all the beast tides this time, and at the worst they can force them back to the Northern Desert and regain the Empire's control of the territory.
It's just that all the people here don't include two people.
Suzaku Castle, the castle lord's chamber.
Obviously ushered in the good news, but Kelan Jue's face was unexpectedly gloomy, and on the other side of him, the face of the Blue Dragon City Lord Motilis was not much better.
"Looks like he's right!" Mortieris began.
Lan didn't speak, and his face darkened faintly.
"Don't you still think it's him? The tactical style, the strategic guidelines, including the detailed battle reports during the battle, are all exactly the same as him, do you still want to deceive yourself?"
"But how could he ......?"
Mortilis said coldly: "It is true that it is impossible for a person with an ability above the secretary level to be assimilated by the ghost clan after death, but that is when the person with the ability himself is unwilling, but he is different, maybe the empire's approach makes ......"
"Impossible!" Lan Jue suddenly interrupted him: "That incident only happened after he died, how could he possibly know?"
Mortiris was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "No matter what, there is at least a seventy percent chance that he is now, you say, what are you going to do?"
Lan Jue's expression changed from hesitant to indifferent, and then from indifferent to hideous, and finally gritted his teeth, and his eyes emitted a fierce light.
"I couldn't beat him when I was alive, but when he died, I didn't believe I couldn't beat him...... If it's really you coming back, this time, I'm going to let you die completely!"
When he said the second half of the sentence, Lan Jue's pupils were empty, and a figure seemed to be reflected in his eyes, and finally four words popped out of his mouth.
"Shangguan ...... Aoyama!"
