As the sobs grew louder, all the imitators stopped imitating and instead gathered together and held hands in a circle, enclosing their split partners in the middle.

"Step, step, step......" A slight sound came, Qiao Xiya squinted, trying to identify, only to see that the imitator's originally blurred legs gradually cleared, and stamped rhythmically. The sound of stampede became clearer and clearer, as if stepping on everyone's hearts, making people's hearts beat and their teeth chatter.

"Chirping, chirping......" With the sound of stamping more and more clearly, a sound similar to talking in the ear came one after another, sometimes long, sometimes short, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low.

"What are they doing...... Mo Haoning couldn't help but shudder.

"It looks like some kind of ancient ritual......" Qiao Xiya frowned and said in a low voice.

Before Qiao Xiya's words landed, I saw those imitators facing the sky on their backs, collectively letting out a long roar, and then raised their arms one after another, shaking with the rhythm, and at the same time tilted their heads back desperately, eager to turn their heads over to their backs, and at the same time, their bodies were also twisted backwards, and their whole bodies were twisted like twisted flowers.

As the pace grew faster and faster, the imitators began to circle around their companions on the ground, and their swift footsteps seemed to kick up puffs of dust, and the flying dust was faintly mixed with a trace of black smoke. The black smoke swirled and fell on the corpse that had been cut in half on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, the corpse slowly merged into a human form with this strange dance, and slowly stood up.

At the moment when it stood up, all the imitators stopped dancing, returned to normal, and turned around in unison, facing Qiao Xiya and the others directly, and a cold and weird smile actually appeared on the face that couldn't see the facial features at all.

Everyone only felt that at the same time as the scalp exploded in an instant, there seemed to be a cold breath that penetrated into the nostrils. Everyone couldn't help but shudder collectively, and subconsciously all took a step back.

"You're too rampant!" I only heard Qiu Yueling shouting loudly on the side, as Qiu Yueling's words landed, a blue light flashed in front of everyone, Qiao Xiya only felt that her heart was warm, and she instantly sobered up a lot, and when she looked down, a beetle covered in blue like ghost fire appeared on the ground, and under the body of the beetle, there was also a wisp of gray-white residual mist. I saw that those insects were divided by two, and they all stuffed the gray and white that they pressed down into their mouths, and then flapped their wings and flew up, gathering on Qiu Yueling's head one after another, turning into a dark blue hairpin.

"Your Highness?" Qiao Xiya looked at Qiu Yueling with a confused expression as if she had just woken up, "What's wrong?"

"I'm glad I came along, otherwise you'd all have to fold here." Qiu Yueling stared viciously at the imitators on the other side of the ditch who couldn't see their faces clearly, but their bodies were full of weirdness, and said to Qiao Xiya, "You almost let these ghosts get on you just now."

When Qiao Xiya heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little angry in her heart, she never expected that she had just arrived, and she had already been in danger twice, maybe the danger here was far beyond her expectations.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for saving your life!" Qiu Yueling's voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly. Mo Haoning turned over and dismounted, led all the soldiers, knelt on one knee, and thanked him.

"Hurry up, hurry up," Qiu Yueling panicked for a moment, and hurriedly asked everyone to get up, "Now is not the time to say this, now you have to come up with an idea," Qiu Yueling's face was a little serious, "Those insects can conjure up countless forms in it to deal with dragging the imitators, but you have also seen that even if they are not imitated by the imitators, they are in danger at any time, and the Soul Eater Scarab suppressed their attack on you this time, and it may not be the next time." So now it's up to you to decide whether to stay here and wait for the opportunity to find clues, or give up."

Qiu Yueling's words made Qiao Xiya and Mo Haoning fall into deep thought.

If they continue to wait for opportunities here, they will always face unknown dangers, but if they go back, what will happen to the soldiers buried here......

"Let's go back." Qiao Xiya was slightly unwilling.

"Stay." Mo Haoning hesitated slightly.

The voices of the two landed almost simultaneously.

Qiao Xiya looked at Mo Haoning and took the first step and said: "Lord Wang, let's go back first, this soul-devouring and seizure is a dead situation made by human interference, these undead, even if they are dead, are also driven by people to set up a bureau and be used by others, I have seen this bureau in an ancient book before, but there is no record of the way to break the game in that ancient book, only that this situation is dangerous and abnormal, and it is quickly left." I can't gamble with the lives of my soldiers. Don't worry, when I find a solution, I will definitely come to break this soul-devouring situation and restore peace to the border."

"I'm afraid you'll be unwilling." Mo Haoning's gentle gaze met Qiao Xiya's remorseful eyes.

"I'm not reconciled, but I can't ignore their lives. And the most important thing now is to go back to Jin'an City." Qiao Xiya looked at the soldiers behind Mo Haoning and said.

"Back to Jin'an City?" Mo Haoning didn't understand Qiao Xiya's words too much, "We are ordered to relieve the border army, what are we going to do when we go back?"

"Your Highness said that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. Now the defenders are within the realm of the Worm Killer and will no longer be affected by the Soul Devouring Bureau, but Lin Shichong and the Worm King are still in Jin'an City. If the ghost bees brought back from the depths of the northern woods are more than three found in the army, Your Majesty will be in danger."

When Mo Haoning heard this, he chuckled in his heart, and his blood was almost cold. If it is really as Qiao Xiya said, Lin Shichong brought the ghost bee into Jin'an City, then Jin'an City will be in trouble.

"And we have to rescue the insect king from Lin Shichong's hands." Qiao Xiya glanced at Qiu Yueling on the side, "I remember Uncle Scorpion said that he had contacted the Worm King, but the response he received was very weak, the Worm King may be injured, I don't worry, it's better to go back to Jin'an as soon as possible."

"It's okay," Mo Haoning nodded, but as if he suddenly remembered something, he said to Qiao Xiya, "Qiao San doesn't seem to have come back yet, right?"

"It should be soon, with Jade Butterfly following, it should be able to return in a day or two." Qiu Yueling counted the time and said.

"Let's go." Qiao Xiya tightened the reins and turned the horse's head, then looked back at the other side of the ditch, and said softly, "I'll be back."

～～

"Wow!" The day after Qiao Xiya and the others left Jin'an City, a large group of people surrounded the most prosperous street in Jin'an City, and there were exclamations from time to time in the dense crowd.
