Chapter Seventy-Three: The Straw Follows

The Dao soldiers were still in groups of thirty, advancing in an arc formation.

In fact, there are some Dao arrays that are specially used for multi-person cooperation, which can hide the body, strengthen cooperation, and gather strength.

For example, Mo Rushi, the lord of Rye Ridge before, used a magic circle when he was in the kiln village to resist the invasion of corpses.

However, such a cherished formation needs to be matched with the armor and weapons of the Dao soldiers, and more importantly, the talisman fits. For example, in the flame array, a water sinking charm, instantly explode on the spot, without the need for enemies to attack, set off a life fireworks to celebrate.

Even there are mysteries between the formations, and the slightest difference in the pool will affect the pond fish, after all, it is a magic circle that gathers dozens of people, and it is powerful, and ordinary mortal bodies must strictly practice the formation, otherwise they will hurt their own bodies first when they encounter backlash.

It's a pity that Li He has not received such treasures at present. At least he didn't find a Dao array that could cooperate with his paper man, if he used some water and fire arrays, it would weaken his strength, and there was no need.

He had already ordered that the government should inquire about the news of the Dao Array, and if there was a suitable array, even if it cost a lot of money, he would have to get it.

After Li Li took office as a trade envoy, Kuchaling's trade system was significantly strengthened, and maybe he could really find the coveted Dao array, and the combat effectiveness of the Dao soldiers would be greatly improved at that time.

may not be able to reach the realm of Li Zhen Doubing, but it is not a problem to deal with the general bad omen erosion.

Since there is no time formation for the time being, the Dao soldiers will be more conservative, and the shield soldiers will be in front, always paying attention to the weirdness around them. The core force to solve the problem is still Li He, the lord of the mansion who is in charge of the bad omen of the eight grades.

I had the experience of the kiln village before, although the fog in front of me was obscured, and the vision was not very wide, everyone was calm.

"Mansion Master, there seems to be something abnormal ahead!"

Li He followed the direction he was pointing and saw a barren field, and there were a few figures faintly, standing still.

In fact, the fog was a bad omen, full of coldness and strangeness, and Li He noticed it soon after entering.

These shields are not only a blockade for the naked eye, but also an obstacle to the Dao Fa, and it may be possible to wait and see farther to open the path of Ruixi. But at present, he has not even seen the shadow of the bad omen, and he does not want to do unnecessary attrition.

On the contrary, the Taoist soldiers are observing everywhere and can provide good information.

"Let's go, let's take a look!"

After speaking, he took the Taoist soldiers on a detour, stepped on the country road, and walked to the barren field.

Get closer, Li He can naturally see the so-called figure.

It was a stick stuck in place, the upper body was woven from straw, and the outside was dressed in rough peasant clothes, which was difficult to cover the body.

Strangely, all the scarecrows have their heads facing backwards, not facing them, so they don't see their faces.

Li He waved his men to stop, and he smelled danger.

The path of Rui Xi was running, and the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

The fields beneath his feet were dry and rotten, shrouded in pitch black, and where each scarecrow stood, there was a mass of red-dyed dead grass scattered around the periphery, very irregular.

The normally colored forage on the scarecrow's body kept falling, but in fact, there was not much left, and even a few of them were almost exhausted.

They don't have a skull at all, but a thick darkness that fills the top of their necks, and is hung up by a long stick, pointing in a certain direction.

At this moment, Li He realized that it was not that the scarecrow was deliberately avoiding them, but that the direction of the head was facing the rear, and it was extremely unified, as if he was watching something.

Li He looked into the distance along their heads, and seemed to see a straw hut standing in the mist, faint and difficult to identify.

He retracted his breath, and suddenly returned to gloom, the autumn wind was bleak, the straw was flying, and a dilapidated breath greeted him.

"Let's go, let's move in that direction."

After speaking, Li He took the lead in the direction of the scarecrow's head.

Strange to say, even when they were close to the scarecrow, they still couldn't see the straw head clearly when they looked from the side, only the tilted head and the constant orientation.

Gradually, the scarecrows were left behind, and they always walked in one direction.

Behind him there was the rustle of the wind, and it seemed as if the scarecrows were moving.

Some Dao soldiers couldn't help but be curious, and after walking past some scarecrows, they wanted to look back and see what these weird guys looked like.

but was forbidden by Lihe's order:

"Don't look back, these straws don't have heads at all, they're the heads of the Law of Bad Omen. They only look in one direction, indicating that they are directing something, or that they are being pulled by some force.

If this prohibition is touched, I am afraid that something ominous will happen. ”

Li He's voice was loud, and suddenly the Dao soldiers all stopped this unrealistic idea.

We're all tried and tested veterans, and we know how terrifying the bad omen can be, but the methods of erosion are mysterious, often in unexpected ways.

Since even the lord of the mansion said so, there must be a great danger in it, and everyone suppressed the urge to turn back.

Li He was at the front, and he didn't look back either, so he was still wearing paper clothes thanks to the scouts at the end of the line, thanks to the situation of the Dao soldiers behind him, allowing him to spy on some movements.

To be honest, he wasn't very clear about the consequences of turning his head. But since he controlled the ominous paper doom, he has a natural sensitivity to the arrival of doom, and at the moment when someone wanted to turn back, a wave of irritability and longing rose in his heart.

Naturally, this was not his original state of mind, where did that come from? Needless to say, nature is the desire for bad omens.

What does it crave? Calamity, ominous, the breath of death.

In other words, if the Taoist soldier turns around, there is a high probability of an attack, and even the danger that he can't even save him.

But if you don't look behind you like this, and let these ghosts follow behind you, you really have peace of mind?

He doesn't think so.

In Ruixi's field of vision, there are several straws that are about to be completely eroded by the crimson, what if they come back to life?

The cold wind behind him was still blowing, the sound of grass and cloth rubbing was getting louder and louder, and even the sound of footsteps was faintly heard, as if someone was following.

It's definitely not their footsteps, because everyone is wearing the same boots and walking in the same footsteps. Then there can only be something special to follow.

They didn't dare to look behind them, so they could only look at each other, and found that the hidden fear gradually crept out.

In fact, it's not that everyone hasn't experienced bad omens, but like this, they can't face the enemy head-on at all, and they are strangely followed behind and killed unconsciously, which is too wretched. No matter how strong the psychological quality is, it is difficult to withstand the fear of the unknown.

Fortunately, the prestige of the mansion lord in the hearts of everyone is deep enough, and if he says that he doesn't look at it, he doesn't look at it, and continues to walk forward and speed up his pace.

But at the same time, the sound of hidden footsteps behind him also became frequent, and even gradually approached, causing everyone to be upset.

"It's here!"

Just when everyone was about to lose their patience, Li He suddenly stopped and shouted.
