Chapter 257: Shepherd Dog

The attitude of this demon suppressant was very tough, his expression was full of anxiety, and he looked at the black fog behind him from time to time.

But Zhang Sanfen took out his documents and threw them over, and said loudly: "I am Zhang Sanfen, a special guest of the Secret Bureau!" ”

"I'm sorry, it's our mission to go to the Uncursed Road, and you don't have the right to command me."

The demon soldier checked his documents, and his attitude eased a lot.

He saluted this time and said, "Mr. Zhang, I am the leader of the first combat team of the South Battalion of the Demon Suppression Army!" ”

"At present, we have received an order to immediately withdraw all demon suppression soldiers except for the Death Soldiers, and clean up all the civilian exorcists we encounter along the way."

After a pause, the Demon Suppression Soldier explained: "As you know, some foreign exorcists and murderers on the wanted list have come over recently, and the Demon Suppression Commander is worried that they will disrupt the current situation. ”

Zhang Sanfen nodded and said, "I am a special guest of the Secret Bureau, and I am not under the jurisdiction of the Demon Suppression Commander. ”

"But I have three spirits under my command that I need you to bring back and settle in the southern camp for the time being. The current situation of the uncursed road is no longer suitable for taking them with them. ”

Now we have a speculation that the black fog may have something to do with soul pollution.

The Demon Suppressor is strong-willed, and his soul is complete, and he can resist for a while.

But wolf spirits are not human, and their souls are also congenitally defective.

If you let the wolf spirit in, you may be polluted by the soul, and it will be a pity to die in it at that time.

It's also three wolf lives, and if you can save it, you can save it.

The demon soldier quickly said, "No problem! I'll arrange them! ”

Zhang Sanfen looked at Master Miqing again, and the wrinkled old man shook his head lightly and said, "I want to find Renqing." ”

Renqing may be the name of the tantric disciple who defected.

The status of the Great Snow Mountain in Middle-earth is very transcendent, and although it also respects the Yin-Yang Agreement, it has a high degree of freedom, and even the Secret Bureau cannot forcibly order them.

The Demon Suppressor gave us a serious look and said, "In that case, what else do you lack?" We can provide the necessary supplies. ”

We didn't have anything to lose, but Guru Mi Qing asked for some food and water.

As for weapons and the like, we have them in our cars, and Master Miqing doesn't use them at all.

Before leaving, the three wolf spirits looked at me pitifully.

I know they want to follow me, because the evil energy on the demon suppression soldiers is too heavy, and they, as spirits, are very worried about whether they will be cut down by the demon suppressors in the next second.

But Zhang Sanfen and I could only turn around and leave ruthlessly.

With these three wolf spirits, it is irresponsible for their lives.

After bidding farewell to the convoy of demon suppressors, Master Miqing also boarded our off-road vehicle, ready to explore the life and death section of the uncursed road.

We followed the road that had been built, and the further we went, the thicker the fog became.

At first, the surrounding sky seemed to have a heavy haze, and after a while, the haze gradually thickened, and the sky and the earth seemed to enter dusk.

In this place, we saw a retreating demon suppressor again.

They looked tired, their expressions solemn, and their eyes glowed slightly red.

This should be a precursor to the contamination of the soul.

However, the willpower of the demon suppressors is extremely strong, and their souls are much stronger than ordinary people, although their souls are polluted, they still maintain their sanity.

We briefly talked for a moment.

At this time, I learned that the team was led by the combat team of the North Battalion of the Demon Suppression Soldiers, and after the earthquake, when the black fog was filled, they were responsible for searching and rescuing the team directly under the West University that was lost here.

From the time they received the task to now, they have stayed in the black fog for eighteen hours.

In such a long period of time, there have been demon suppressors who have been contaminated by their souls and have shown signs of madness.

In this case, they had to temporarily withdraw from the black fog range, but they originally withdrew to the North Daying, but because of the wrong direction inside, they got closer and closer to the South Daying.

We showed them the way, and by the way, we asked about the whereabouts of the Queen of Secret Hearts.

It's a pity that this group of demon suppressors didn't meet the Queen of Secret Hearts either. On the contrary, it was Renqing, a defected disciple who had seen the Great Snow Mountain Temple.

At the beginning, the demon suppressors also tried to help the red-clothed master, but they were killed by the other party.

It is worth mentioning that the eyes of the red-clothed Guru Rinchen have completely turned blood-red.

It is a symbol of the contamination of the soul.

Because of the mission, although three of them died, the demon suppressors still did not have too much entanglement with Master Renqing, but chose to retreat.

Fortunately, Master Renqing didn't care about killing, and disappeared into the black fog without a trace.

After getting this news, Zhang Sanfen and I were a little heavy.

This is the last group of demon suppressors.

Further on, we should be confronted with demons and revenants from the uncursed path, and the ubiquitous soul pollution.

It stands to reason that when there is no definite news from the Queen of Secret Hearts, we should not rush into the depths of the black fog.

But what if?

What if the Queen of Secret Hearts was really inside?

I glanced at Zhang Sanfen and said, "Boss......"

Zhang Sanfen smiled at me and said, "It's all here, you can't just leave like this, right?" ”

"Besides, aren't you curious about what is hidden in the deepest part of the Uncursed Path?"

I was in high spirits.

Yes, the Unspelled Road is arguably the most mysterious place in Middle-earth, comparable to the catacombs of Paris and the Valley of the Deadheads of North America.

It's all here, how can you be willing if you don't figure it out?

Seeing that we insisted on our choice, the scarred demon suppressor did not persuade us much, but only reminded a few words, and gradually withdrew with the team.

At this time, the black fog filled the surroundings, and the visibility was less than a hundred meters.

I reached out and turned on the headlights, and two modified LED headlights cut through the black fog like two sharp swords.

After a while, the road became an unpaved road.

This is a section of road that has been developed but never poured.

The car drove on it, and the potholes and bumps were terrible.

After walking along the unpaved road for half an hour, the visibility around has dropped to more than 50 meters, and even if there are headlights, it is still not very real.

At this time, there is no longer even a paved roadbed, and we have completely entered the wasteland.

I silently placed the Demon Thorn beside me, slowing down the car so that nothing could rush out of the black fog.

Suddenly, Zhang Sanfen looked serious and said quickly: "Stop!" Flameout! Turn off the lights! ”

I didn't hesitate to turn off the car's engine and turn off all the lights.

As soon as the light was turned off, the black fog around him immediately swept in.

I just felt that it was as dark as ink, and the visibility was compressed to more than ten meters.

There was silence all around, even the wind on the plateau seemed to have stopped, and I could even hear my own pounding heartbeat as I sat in the car.

Zhang Sanfen looked at the yin and yang compass carefully and said, "There are yin soldiers!" ”

He reached out and took out three strips of black cloth with a pungent smell from his bag and said, "Tie them to your forehead." ”

These three strips of black cloth were exchanged for the Yin walkers in southern Gansu. The strips of cloth were originally white, cut from the clothes of the dead, and soaked in blood to turn black and red.

Then I added some messy drugs, materials, and finally turned black.

As long as you wear strips of cloth, you can cover your own yang energy, no matter what kind of underworld ghost you are, the other party will only treat you as a walking corpse.

Master Miqing and I put strips of cloth on our heads, and just as we were about to speak, we saw countless ghosts appear in the black fog in front of us.

These ghosts don't seem to be sane, their eyes are blank, and their bodies are illusory.

Their bodies are suspended in mid-air, as if they are drifting in the wind.

I looked around, and everywhere I looked, there were dense ghosts, and I couldn't see the edge at a glance!

Zhang Sanfen said in a low voice: "Someone is grazing the ghost group!" ”

I remembered that in the study materials given to me by my boss, there was a record of herding ghosts.

It's said that because it is an underground world, it is the most suitable for ghost people to gather.

But even ghosts have to follow the law of conservation of energy.

People are alive, they have to exercise, they have to think, and these are all consuming energy, so people need to eat to replenish their energy.

Ghosts are the same, if they have thoughts, they will consume their own energy fluctuations, and they will emit yin energy, which is also a kind of consumption of themselves.

So ghosts also need to replenish energy.

It's just that the energy replenished by ghosts is yin and yang.

On weekdays, ghosts can absorb the breath of heaven and earth to maintain their body consumption, and some will absorb yang energy by harming the living.

However, some powerful guys in Xudu think that the efficiency of absorbing the free energy between heaven and earth is too low, and it is far less enjoyable than eating ghosts.

So in the capital or the eighteenth layer of hell, there is always a group of powerful souls who like to eat ghosts.

But ghosts are not so easy to eat, and some of the dead souls will unite against themselves.

After several fights, this group of guys who like to eat ghosts reached a deal with Xudu.

The ghosts they eat cannot be the people of the book, that is, as long as the ghosts have their names in the book of life and death, they cannot be used as food.

At the same time, some lonely souls and wild ghosts, as long as they have independent thoughts, cannot be eaten. Because these are the foundations for the future growth of the capital.

If you want to eat, you can only eat those with broken souls, or muddy souls.

After this agreement was reached, the capital was divided into two factions.

One faction is the normal revenant souls led by the king of Yama, who do not rely on eating ghosts to strengthen themselves, but like to refine their soul essence purity through soul fluctuations.

The other faction was the ghost eating faction led by King Qin Guang.

Together, they gathered the soulless souls of the dead and herded them like sheep and cattle.

On the way to graze, this group of remnant souls will gradually absorb the yin qi between heaven and earth, and then become condensed. When it reaches a certain level, it can be offered to the ghost kings above to enjoy.

In order to be able to obtain high-quality remnant souls, this group of ghost eaters often sneaks up on the living to improve their lives.

Compared to King Yama and the others, this group of revenants is even more hateful, but they are also stronger!

Since there are grazed remnants here, there must be ghost soldiers acting as "shepherd dogs" behind them.
