The Second Army of the Xuanwu Army, the Third Battalion.

The Yuyuan tide has receded, the war in the south has immediately subsided, and the Xuanwu army in charge of garrisoning has also lived a somewhat idle life.

But for Qiao Xiaodao, this kind of life of only being able to stay in the camp tent and cultivate is not what he wants, if it is described in two words, it is - boring.

There is no war, and there are no brute beasts to kill, which means no more cheering and praise.

The name of the Yin Ghost Captain comes from every high-level beast soldier kill, but in this situation, there are not so many high-level beast soldiers, and as the 'strongest captain' of the Xuanwu Army, because of his gradually gloomy temperament, he began to have a sense of estrangement from his comrades in the army.

In other words, most of the sergeants were afraid of him.

The Liver Elm Filthy Spiritual Recipe needed to replenish the dead qi, and this process made Qiao Xiaodao's temperament, including his eyes, become indifferent. It was not an ordinary pretence, but a kind of heartfelt indifference to life, and it was naturally not difficult for the strengthened intuition of the capable person to detect this, so whenever someone approached Qiao Xiaodao, he would feel uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart, which caused him to be gradually isolated.

However, in Qiao Xiaodao's heart, the reason for everything was that he was not strong enough, and the time spent cultivating in his tent became longer and longer, and his temperament became even more gloomy.

"Must ...... Stronger!"

The eerie black vitality surrounds his body, causing the surface of his skin to constantly change, as if repeating the process between life and death, which is extremely strange.

Suddenly, all the vitality instantly drilled into his body, and then Qiao Xiaodao suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the corner of the camp.

I don't know when, there was an extra person in the corner, this person was thin and small, with a mask on his face, and the pattern of the mask was a beast that Qiao Xiaodao didn't know.

"Yes, you can detect me, it seems that your perception is very sensitive. The person who came didn't seem to be hostile, but instead opened his mouth to boast about Qiao Xiaodao.

But the sudden appearance of this person couldn't help Qiao Xiaodao not be nervous.

"Who are you?"

"Well, that's a very important question. But first thing, do you know what it is?"

The visitor gestured to his mask.

Qiao Xiaodao frowned and stared at the other party vigilantly.

"Looks like you don't know. But yes, this is not the earth, and there are probably not many people who can know about this creature. The masked man shrugged his shoulders, and then sat down opposite Qiao Xiaodao: "Then let me tell you, this beast is called 'embarrassment'"

"Embarrassment?"

"Yes, it's embarrassing!" the embarrassed-faced man suddenly let out a low laugh, seemingly excited: "Did you know that the embarrassment is a very intelligent animal, and it usually likes to act with wolves, but not as a companion, but as a user. It uses the wolf to find and hunt for the food it needs, and the wolf itself is undetectable, which is the most clever and powerful point of the wolf. ”

Qiao Xiaodao stared at the embarrassed man and did not speak.

As if sensing the tension, the embarrassed-faced man straightened up and said, "Now that you know what kind of creature it is, I can introduce myself." I'm the leader of the Gang Leader, you can call me Gang Leader. ”

"What's that?"

The head chuckled lightly and said, "You are too young to know what the Gang is, but I can tell you that the Gang is one of the eight groups of the Black Department of the Imperial Capital, and it is also one of the core strengths of the empire. ”

The core strength of the empire!

Hearing this, Qiao Xiaodao's breathing suddenly became chaotic.

"People from the imperial capital...... What is the purpose of looking for me?"

The head smiled: "The purpose is very simple, I want to recruit you, the Yin Ghost Captain!"

"Recruit me?"

Qiao Xiaodao looked at the head in disbelief, obviously not believing the other party's words.

It's not that he's arrogant, it's just that since the person who came claimed to be the core force of the empire, and Qiao Xiaodao was at best a relatively strong minister-level ability, and a person with this level of ability grabbed a lot in the empire, his cultivation was not so outstanding.

"Heh! It seems that you don't believe what I say!" the head shook twice, shook his head and said, "You should know very well that although your reputation in the army has been quite small recently, you are only a minister-level capable person after all. It stands to reason that you won't be in our sights, but there are interesting things about you, so I decided to come and recruit you for myself. ”

"Where?"

"Your exercises!"

Qiao Xiaodao's heart instantly tightened.

"Hehe, don't be nervous, there's nothing to be nervous about...... Although many people think that you are cultivating the secret path, if my guess is correct, your exercises should not be the dark path, but the corpse path, right?"

You guessed it!

At this time, Qiao Xiaodao was like a furry beast, staring at the head of the caraver.

Ke Shou waved his hand impatiently: "Don't be so nervous, the corpse path is the corpse path, even if it has something to do with the Wu clan, but it's actually not a big deal." ”

"What do you mean?"

The head laughed: "It's very simple, as long as you are used by me, who cares what kind of Tao you cultivate!"

Qiao Xiaodao hesitated for a moment: "You said it was for you?"

"That's right!" "You don't know the eight groups of the black department, so you definitely don't know the responsibilities of the group." Our Gang is a department within the Empire that specializes in the manufacture of weapons of war. ”

"Weapons of war? What does that have to do with me?"

"How can it be okay!" The embarrassed group smiled: "Tell me, what do you think is a weapon of war?"

Qiao Xiaodao thought for a moment and replied, "A large weapon like a crossbow to defend the city?"

"Hey, you're not wrong to think so, but it's still too one-sided...... War weapons are weapons that can produce a large amount of lethality in a large-scale war, but they do not only refer to mechanical products. ”

Qiao Xiaodao didn't pay attention to the meaning of the embarrassment.

The head was not in a hurry, and patiently explained: "Hey, you tell me, the dead are not terrible?"

Countless walking corpses came to mind, and Qiao Xiaodao nodded.

"And what do you think is the scariest thing about them?"

“...... Source?"

He clapped his head with a high-five: "That's right, it's the source! No matter what kind of creature dies, it may transform into the dead, which is the most terrifying point of the dead, but this is also an important reason why I found you." ”

Hearing this, Qiao Xiaodao gradually understood the thoughts of the head in his heart: "What do you mean, you want me to ...... Manipulating corpses?"

"Isn't that what you've been doing?" "Isn't that what you've been doing?" the head laughed gloomily: "The cultivation of the middle stage of the minister, killing dozens of high-level beast soldiers in seconds, this is not the use of combat skills, but the result of you absorbing the power of the corpses on the battlefield and bursting out at one time!"

Qiao Xiaodao's heart froze, but he didn't say anything to refute it.

"Hehe, don't worry, I said it, I'm just here to recruit you and give your talent a better platform to shine. After all, the battlefield of the Xuanwu Domain is not your home field!"

The embarrassed words echoed in Qiao Xiaodao's heart.

"How's that, any thoughts on my proposal?"

Qiao Xiaodao was silent for a while, and when he looked up again, his expression returned to calm: "You said that the Xuanwu Domain is not my home field, so where should I go?"

The head of the smirk smirked.

"Those with corpse path ability, of course, go to the Northwest Battlefield!"

......

In the vast northern desert, a huge tide of beasts was entrenched under a sand dune, and the sand hole in the middle of the beast tide faintly heard the sound of evil ghosts howling.

The rhino dead beast was crawling at the bottom of the sand cave, and the ghost Shura was lying on its head, leaning on the rhino horn, drooping and watching the scene of dozens of ghost beast soldiers biting each other in front of him, with a dull face.

"Ahhh

Syllable!

Ghost Shura snapped his fingers, and dozens of ghost soldiers exploded into black smoke and dust in an instant, while it looked at the ghost general Ghost Qingshan next to it angrily.

"Aoyama, I want to go to the land of humans to play!"

Ghost Qingshan lowered his head expressionlessly, and said, "Princess, please calm your anger, there is a decree on the Holy Land, saying that before the host clan gives the trading items, we should not invade the human realm on a large scale to avoid causing senseless losses." Moreover, the two domains of the Human Empire, the Blue Dragon and the Vermilion Bird, have been united, so they must have sensed something, and it is impossible to quietly attack their towns and cities like before. ”

"I don't care! It's all your fault!" Ghost Shura's small fist slammed into the head of the Chaotic Rhino Dead Beast, which immediately caused the other party to mutter: "If your strategy wasn't too successful and aroused the suspicion of the humans, they wouldn't have joined forces to deal with us so quickly!"

Ghost Aoyama, who was blamed for the success of the strategy, opened his mouth, only to feel that there was no way to refute it.

Seeing this, Ghost Shura snorted lightly and changed the subject: "Isn't there any news from the Ji clan yet?"

"Some time ago, the humans in the Spirit Capital sent a message that the first shipment should be ready within the next month, and it will be shipped directly to the Holy Land at that time. ”

Ghost Shura raised his eyebrows: "Next month, it seems that Ji Yuan really didn't deceive his father, but he is really not afraid of becoming the target of public criticism when he does this!"

"The ...... of the host clan" Ghost Qingshan shook his head: "Their ideas are probably very different from those of other clans!"

Oni Shura snorted.

At this moment, a new shadow appeared outside the cave.

"Princess, the ghost general Ugush has come to meet you!"
