Chapter 223: The Mist Barrier
Wu Lei held his head high, took the steps that his six relatives did not recognize, and strode forward.
"I tell you, I have been friends with their commander-in-chief, and I think that when we first met, he went out of the camp to meet me. It was a spectacular ......."
Wu Lei fell into self-absorption, he didn't realize that Xiao Budian and Gu Tianguo were already far behind him.
"Eh, are you listening to me?"
Wu Lei finally felt that something was wrong, he looked back and looked back, Xiao Budian and Gu Tianguo were motionless, standing in place as if looking at him like a fool.
"Why don't you leave. Didn't I tell you, don't be afraid, I'm an old acquaintance with their commander, and I'll ask him to send someone to send you back when the time comes. Woolley was still swaggering, unstoppable, and his voice was deep and full.
"Are you sure you're an old acquaintance with their commander?" asked the little one, laughing.
"No problem, I know their commander. Woolley said loudly.
Xiao Budian's pupils were wide open, his throat was dry, and his face became more and more ugly.
Between the heavens and the earth in front of them, the yin and evil aura is strong, and the aura of the forest is terrifying, as if a little closer can make people's bodies collapse.
"I think you should go back and take a good look at their commanders, if you really know them. ”
Murray felt weird, and he slowly turned his head.
Suddenly, Woolley's hair stood on end, his throat was dry and bitter, and he was so frightened that he couldn't move.
He didn't see anything, but his body was very cold, and there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart, as if some invisible existence was passing by him, and there were quite a few of them, with endless murderous aura and haze, which made people feel cold.
Xiao Budian swallowed his saliva, Gu Tianguo and Wu Lei didn't see anything, but he clearly saw an incredible picture.
Bands of gloomy soldiers, dressed in ancient uniforms, armed with iron spears or rusty spears, strode forward from afar.
"Yin soldier!" Xiao Bu was shocked.
A large number of Yin soldiers seem to have come from ancient times, striding forward, uniformly, waving their flags, and killing to the endless distance, which makes people hairy.
Xiao Budian pulled Gu Tianguo motionless, not daring to collide.
Woolley couldn't see anything, but he sensed it, and he could sense that there were many unseen beings around him who were passing by him.
Wu Lei was silent, he didn't dare to take a breath, and he was quietly waiting for those inexplicable beings to pass by him.
At the moment, he regretted it.
He had already sensed the evil aura between heaven and earth, but he still had a preconceived idea, thinking that the army in Xiao Budian's mouth was the people of the grassland tribal alliance, but he never thought that it was such a strange existence.
The black-pressed Yin soldiers are like a torrent of steel, with an endless aura of slaughter, as if they can kill all opponents, which is amazing.
"What is a Yin Soldier?" Gu Tianguo asked in a low voice.
"The Yin Soldier is the Necromancer, also known as the Underworld, and often appears in some ancient battlefields. Xiao Budian explained.
"So, this was once an ancient battlefield?" Gu Tianguo clasped his hands around his chest, and he didn't know if he was scared or because of the cold, his delicate body trembled, and his body was cold.
The Yin soldiers were passing by her, and she was as quiet as a cicada, not daring to say a word again.
After a long time, the strange feeling gradually disappeared, and the gloom and gloom also decreased.
"Are they all gone?" asked Gu Tingguo when the strange feeling had completely disappeared.
Xiao Bu nodded, but his expression was still very solemn.
"Why is there such a heavy fog ahead?" Gu Qingguo was surprised, a mist came from a distance, very abrupt, those fog were like living creatures, with autonomous consciousness, and were moving forward in the direction where the Yin soldiers disappeared.
Xiao Budian was even more surprised, and the army of Yin soldiers disappeared from their side, but in that mist, a large army of skeletons appeared.
They were the same as the Yin soldiers just now, dressed in battle armor and holding long iron spears, coming from afar in unison.
This time, both Gu Tianguo and Wu Lei saw these skeleton armies.
"Oh,!" Murray yelled, turning and running.
"Don't move. Little Budian shouted at Wu Lei.
These skeleton armies were the same as the Yin soldiers just now, as if they couldn't see them, and they didn't care about them at all.
Xiao Bu was worried that Wu Lei's actions would collide with the skeleton army, so he instructed Gu Tianguo: "Stand here and don't move. ”
Brush!
As soon as Xiao Budian's voice fell, like a bolt of lightning, his figure flashed in front of Wu Lei and stopped him.
"Don't move, they don't seem to see us, so it's counterproductive to be careful of ramming them. ”
Woody stood still, carefully surveying the army of skeletons.
There was a faint flame dancing in the deep eye sockets of each skeleton, and they walked all the way forward, not squinting, as if they really couldn't see Woolray and the others.
Watching the skeletons pass by, without even turning his eyes, Woolley finally calmed down, but his nerves were still tense, and cold sweat continued on his forehead.
"What kind of monsters are they?" Wu Lei asked in a frightened whisper.
"Aren't you familiar with their commander?" asked Xiao Budian with a sneer.
"I ......" Wu Lei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and stammered, "I ...... I don't know...... The army you are talking about...... Isn't it human?"
Wu Lei was a little embarrassed, he couldn't have imagined that the army in Xiao Budian's mouth would be so weird.
Everywhere the skeleton army went, the gloom was rolling and the aura was overwhelming. The biggest difference with the Yin Soldiers is that everyone can see them.
"Then what kind of army do you think I'm talking about?" asked Murray again.
"I thought ......" Wu Lei's voice came to an abrupt end.
"Why didn't you say it?"
Wu Lei was hesitating, he couldn't determine the identities of Xiao Budian and Gu Tingguo, so he had some scruples and didn't dare to reveal his information easily.
"I know you're bragging, I've seen a lot of people like you. ”
"You little one. ”
Wu Lei was angered by Xiao Budian, he instantly lost his temper, and said dissatisfiedly to Xiao Budian: "I'll take you to the base camp of that army now, and let you see if I'm bragging." ”
In that ancient city, Chen Chunan was pushed into the mist by Wang Siyi's palm, and after passing through the mist, he came to the familiar city gate again.
The pattern under the walls was still there, the gates were still firmly closed, and they went around the city and found nothing, and then returned here.
It's just that many people have paid with their lives for this, and even Wang Si and Zhang Ruochen, the two powerhouses of the Imperial Spirit Realm, are more than lucky.
Less than sixty soldiers passed through the mist, and the rest were either torn apart by the dried corpses and became their meat or turned into dried corpses, unable to fight side by side with them again.
Many people were wounded and bloody, and they were all looking at the mist with their eyes, and Wang Si and others, who were waiting to be cut off for them, also passed through the mist and appeared under this city gate.
However, after a long time, there was silence in the mist, and they could not hear even any sound on the other side of the mist, and they did not know what the battle was going on there.
Chen Chunan was also a little entangled, and he was apprehensive in his heart.
Wang Si and the others were obviously not the opponents of those dried corpses, as long as they continued to stay on the other side of the mist, it was only a matter of time before they were killed.
Along the way, Wang Si and Zhang Ruochen took good care of him, especially just now.
Zhang Ruochen and Wang Si even sacrificed their lives in order to save him, which moved Chen Chunan and was a little puzzled at the same time.
Strictly speaking, Chen Chunan is not a soldier of the Pioneer Brigade, and he and these two people are just meeting in Pingshui, but they can make such a huge sacrifice for Chen Chunan.
"Could it be that this is comradeship?" Chen Chunan was stunned.
He has been a mercenary for three years, but when he was in Yindun, he was only familiar with Liang Xiaofeng and Li Feng, and they were close friends, brothers who fought side by side and depended on each other in life and death, and old friends who talked together, bragged together, and drank together......
Perhaps, this can be regarded as a kind of comradeship.
"Someone's coming. ”
Just when Chen Chunan fell into melancholy, a trace of ripples appeared on the mist, as if something was about to pass through the mist and walk towards the city gate.
However, the next moment, the ripples on the mist disappeared, and the figure that was about to pass through the mist also disappeared, as if it had been dragged out by something.
The soldiers under the city gate were nervous, they supported each other, got up from the ground, and quietly looked in the direction of the mist, hoping that a few people on the other side of the mist would reappear in front of them.
Chen Chunan was also very nervous, standing on the ground, motionless, waiting for the fog to change again.
However, after a long time, not even a ripple appeared on the mist.
The silence in front of the city gate was terrifying, and the strange atmosphere enveloped everyone's hearts, all of them had dry mouths and astringent tongues, the hope in their hearts was being shattered little by little, and greater fear was enveloping their hearts, and an incomparably strange and indescribable feeling was brewing in their hearts.
"Look, there's someone coming over again. ”
Just when the hope in everyone's hearts was about to be shattered, a ripple appeared on the barrier-like fog in front of them.
Many soldiers clenched their fists, and they couldn't be sure whether the figure who was about to break through the fog and reach the city gate was Wang Si and the others, or Zeng Aniu and the others who had turned into dried corpses.
The thick fog rolled, and a figure covered in blood flashed from the other side of the mist, and just as he stood in front of the city gate, the figure's body softened, and just as he was about to fall to the ground, many soldiers hurriedly stepped forward and helped him.
"It's Li Ba, it's Li Ba......"
The soldier who held Li Ba had tears in his eyes and his body trembled.
The sleeve of Li Ba's empty left arm was in tatters, and bright red blood was dripping down his sleeve to the ground.
"What's going on over there?
"What about Cao Gui, how are they?"
......
Li Ba was very weak, he couldn't say a word, it was very difficult to even open a mouth, his eyelids drooped, and he could fall asleep at any time.
"They...... He ......"
Li Ba stretched out his right index finger and pointed in the direction of the mist, he couldn't resist the sleepiness in his mind, his eyelids closed, and he fell asleep.
"I can't sleep, open my eyes ......"
"Lao Li ......"
"Brother Li......"
No matter how the few soldiers who were supporting Li Ba called, Li Ba still fell into a deep coma.
Although Li Ba's body was scarred and drenched in blood, his injuries were not very serious.
It's just that this ancient city is extremely cold, and the surrounding air is also full of all kinds of evil spirits, which will invade people's bodies at any time, and more importantly, they don't have any medicine on them.
Even if Li Ba's injuries are not serious, but under the erosion of various yin and evil qi, it is very likely that Li Ba will not wake up when he sleeps.
"Quick, help Li Ba under the city wall, and let's input Yuan Li for him together and heal him. Under the command of a slightly older soldier, they helped Li Ba to the corner of the wall by the city gate.
"The fog has changed again. ”
The nerves that everyone had just relaxed became tense again.
The fog in the fog fluctuated so much that many soldiers could see that there was a tall figure standing in the mist, but he was standing in it, motionless, as if he was coldly scanning everyone on the other side of the mist.
He ...... Is it ......?"
Many of the soldiers were amazed, they stared in the direction of the fog in amazement, and the cool breeze invaded their skin and flesh through the heavy armor, and the cold aura seemed to penetrate their flesh and blood, making them feel chills all over their bones.
Every soldier's body was cold, and the figure in the mist made their scalps tingle, and goosebumps rose on their bodies.
"Is that figure a dried corpse?"
"Shut up!"
Every soldier was terrified and stiffened, and they were indeed afraid.
If the figure in the mist was really a dried corpse, even if there was only one dried corpse, the more than fifty people here would face the fate of dying without a place to bury.
"Perhaps, he is Cao Gui. Someone whispered speculation.
The figure was indeed very similar to Cao Gui, but he was hidden in the fog and motionless, which made many soldiers feel uneasy.
"If he is really Cao Gui, why is he standing in the mist, why can't he come?" Everyone was puzzled, the figure was indeed very similar to Cao Gui, but they didn't know why he was standing in the mist.
"Could it be that he ......" Such a strange situation makes it difficult not to suspect that Cao Gui died in the fog, but I don't know why he can always maintain a standing posture.
Fear, great fear completely hangs over everyone.
Desperation, like unstoppable despair, is approaching them step by step, making them irresistible.
Sou!
Suddenly, at this very moment, an unidentified object passed over the figure's head, flashed out of the mist, and appeared in everyone's eyes.
"What's that?"
Many of the soldiers shuddered, their eyes following the object's direction of movement until it slammed into the wall and fell to the ground.
Many soldiers who were not far from the object immediately gathered around, and when they saw the object on the ground, their hearts became ecstatic again.
"It's the arm of a dried corpse. One soldier shouted in surprise.
"They're still fighting, they're not dead yet!"
All the soldiers were ecstatic, Zhang Ruochen and the others were not only fighting with the dry corpses, they also severely injured one of the dry corpses and broke the arm of one of the dry corpses.
The body of the dry corpse is very hard, and it can cut off the arm of a dry corpse, which proves that Zhang Ruochen and the others who are still in the city still have strong combat effectiveness.
"However, is that body in the mist Cao Gui or a dried corpse?"
However, they soon fell back into doubt.
The tall and burly figure in the mist made them suspicious, no matter how they looked at it, that figure was almost the same as Cao Gui, and it didn't look like a dried corpse at all.
Every dried corpse was dry, without a trace of flesh and blood, and it could never be as burly and tall as the figure in the mist.
"Brother Cao......" Someone whispered into the mist, hoping that the figure resembling Cao Gui would react, or come directly through the mist.
However, no matter how they shouted, the figure remained unmoved, standing quietly in the mist, without the slightest sign of moving.
"Is he really Cao Gui?"
Chen Chunan cautiously approached the mist, he reached forward, and just as his fingers were about to reach into the mist, an old soldier knocked his hand off with one palm, and shouted, "What are you doing?"
"I'll go and see, if he's really Cao Gui, then I'll bring him over. Chen Chunan said.
"No, you can't go. The veteran sternly refused.
"I'm just going to take a look. Chen Chunan was full of confidence.
"That's not going to work either. "The veteran is very stubborn, they have personally learned the strength of the dried corpse, even if Chen Chunan has broken through to the strength of the Swallowing Yuan Realm, he is by no means the opponent of any dried corpse.
If you really want to let him pass through the fog, I'm afraid that apart from adding a corpse, it won't help Zhang Ruochen and the others at all.
Chen Chunan was unwilling, but the veteran was more stubborn than him, so Chen Chunan could only give up.
"Moved, he moved. One of the soldiers shouted at the figure in the mist, and the figure moved, and he walked slowly in the mist, step by step towards the city gate.
The soldiers at the gates were more nervous than ever, and they watched the figure with all their attention, waiting for his true form to descend.
"No, he's getting smaller, not as tall as he was before. Everyone was amazed that the originally tall figure was getting lower and thinner as he got closer to the city gate.
"What's the matter, isn't he really Cao Gui?"
"How is it possible, has he also become a dry corpse?"
Such a strange situation made the hearts of all the soldiers rise to their throats, and in their eyes, it seemed that the figure that suspected Cao Gui was transforming into a dry corpse.
"What to do, he's coming over soon. "All kinds of mixed emotions are haunting their minds, and they are overwhelmed and don't know how to respond.
