Chapter 50: Abyssal Breath, Big Things
"This is a general's tomb!" Xu Changsheng shrank behind Zhang Sheng, he was just a weak man who knew a little bit of swordsmanship, and this kind of hot scene was not suitable for him.
However, there are so many soldiers buried in the general's tomb, and the owner of the tomb is really cruel!
In the face of such an unexpected situation, Qin Liangyu did not panic in the slightest, under normal circumstances, this kind of undead army with no morale would not be able to mobilize the strength of the army, and these dry corpses were not scattered, and I don't know if it was because of the residual consciousness before death, or because there was some inhuman command under the tomb.
Some of the mysterious and ghostly things in the Great Wilderness are quite weird and subvert common sense.
But weirdness does not mean invincibility, and it can't jump out of the framework of energy and spirit, even divine power is just a high-level energy, and the basis of all energy is aura.
Qin Liangyu chose to deal with it step by step, after all, he didn't know what was going on under the tomb.
Compared with skeletons, the weakness of dried corpses is more obvious, and there is no way to put them together again with broken hands and feet, unlike skeletons, as long as there is a skull, you can use bones to assemble them at will, but dry corpses have higher defense, stronger strength, and carry corpse poison.
The strength of the dried corpse depends on the physical fitness before death and the environment of resurrection, and it can also be improved through the corpse refining method of the Taoist priest and the Death God sect, or other means.
In fact, the corpse soldiers are also the backbone of the Reaper sect!
Compared to Qin Liangyu, Zhang Sheng had seen too many demons and monsters in the previous life, especially after further developing the Land of the Fallen Gods, and those gods were completely reduced to materials.
No matter what other people think, Yan Guo is very excited, recently she has either been learning from Feng Qing or Qin Liangyu, she has not enjoyed the new weapon yet, these dried corpses look quite resistant to beating.
Yan Guojiao shouted, the phoenix wings in her hand were like a red dragon, as long as she was hit, no body could remain intact, and the fierce image instantly raised the morale of the army by a point.
There are a lot of corpse soldiers, and in just this short period of time, nearly two thousand have poured up from under the tomb, so imagine the scale of the burial area below.
"Is this the result of changes in Feng Shui?" Zhang Sheng pulled Xu Changsheng to his side, and actually hid behind him, the lord, for the first time, such a person didn't even have the qualifications of a traitor.
"I guess so." Xu Changsheng wasn't sure, it was the first time he had encountered such a big scene.
"However, the spiritual energy etching in the main tomb doesn't seem to be right, this is not a good place, and the change of feng shui will not affect the etching, but without a spiritual researcher, it is impossible to determine what the reason is."
Something is really wrong!
This is also the reason why Zhang Sheng asked Xu Changsheng again, from the unified Great Xia to the current division of the Nine Kingdoms, there are hundreds of troop templates, but there are not many types of troops that strengthen their physical fitness to the limit, so usually the combat effectiveness of the corpse soldiers will be one line lower than before his death, Xu Changsheng also said that this is not a place of great murder, and the strengthening of the corpse transformation will not be too big.
But now, the individual combat effectiveness of these corpse soldiers is almost not weaker than that of the white pole soldiers, and they are also considered to be the top among the sixth-order soldiers, what strength did they have during their lifetime? Coupled with such a huge number, you must know that this is only a general's tomb, not a king's tomb!
The corpse soldiers were quickly cleaned up, but the tomb owner did not appear, and in the end, when the corpse soldiers were counted, there were 3,000 corpse soldiers!
This is not an ancient tomb, but a barracks!
Although Xu Changsheng can't do it as a loyal minister and traitor, his professional ability is really good, and the location he pointed out is indeed the main tomb, because the top has collapsed, you can directly see the situation inside the main tomb below from above.
A huge bronze coffin, the collapsed mountain white jade fragments only buried a small half of it, and you can clearly see the texture of the Great Xia period style on the coffin.
There was a faint light in the dim tomb, and the ever-bright lamp was still on, and the previous movement was not affected. But what's even stranger is that why did the soldiers all have a corpse mutiny, but the tomb owner did not move?
Zhang Sheng looked at Xu Changsheng, hoping that he could explain all this.
"Fake mounds?" Xu Changsheng was a little afraid to go down to the tomb, and walked around the big pit scratching his ears and cheeks, all this he found in front of him was indeed not quite in line with common sense.
But he's just a master, and he's not a grandmaster, and even a grandmaster can't know everything!
"Do you think he's an emperor?"
Since ancient times, what kind of identity and what specifications have been used in tombs, imperial tombs, even if they are fake tombs, they are also imperial specifications, but this ancient tomb in front of you is obviously not.
The general's tomb is to be a fake grave, and it is impossible to invest such a large one.
"Then you can only know the reason by opening the coffin." Xu Changsheng shrunk his neck and said weakly.
"You study and research first."
The debris from the collapse needs to be cleared, and in addition to the main burial chamber, there is also a road to the burial area. Zhang Sheng plans to empty the burial goods first, and then come back to study the coffin of the tomb owner, even if there is any accident, at least he can ensure the harvest, and eat before that.
After that, the operation was unexpectedly smooth, the army found four burial areas, the burial goods are mainly armor, to the identity of the tomb owner, because the tomb has always been protected by spiritual energy etching, the armor looks old, but it can still be used, including a thousand sets of silver-level heavy cavalry armor, including horse armor.
"Are all the Great Xia generals so rich?" Zhang Sheng stroked the heavy cavalry armor that flashed with cold light under the bright light of the ever-bright lamp and sighed, although he couldn't use this thing, it could be used in the population trade with the pioneer army, and these alone were a wealth greater than the head of a rebel leader.
This thing cannot be sold in the expeditionary force, and the price will be lowered too hard, and the pioneer army can resell it in China, and the market demand will be greater.
However, there are many luxury goods in the funerary goods, ancient jade, ceramics, lacquerware...... Presumably, the old men of the expeditionary force will like it very much, and it also carries history, belongs to antiques, and can meet the needs of those old men who pretend to be forced.
"The territory of Great Xia is larger than the current Nine Kingdoms combined, otherwise how can it be called an empire! Bad luck, it's a military book again! Yan Guo found a box of ancient books, and after studying it for a while, he lost interest, don't look at her as a scumbag, how can she say that she is from a famous family and has studied history.
"Book of War?" Zhang Sheng stopped his beautiful imagination and immediately ran over, while Qin Liangyu, who was directing the soldiers to carry it, was also very interested and followed.
"The Art of War: Thirteen ......"
At present, the people of the nine countries use simplified characters, the official writing is in traditional Chinese, and the small seal used in the Great Xia period, Zhang Sheng has carefully studied it in his previous life, and he can recognize it, and it is very ugly to write.
If I remember correctly, "The Art of War" also has thirteen articles, but "The Art of War" is a strange thing, even if it is not the original version of Sun Wu, some famous generals' annotated hand-copied versions also have attribute bonuses.
This "Thirteen Articles of the Art of War", Zhang Sheng looked at it, and there are no attributes, but this kind of military book, studied and studied by aboriginal generals, is also a way to quickly improve [command], learn the art of war, and improve the ability to command troops, which is fine, but this method is useless to players.
"Put it away first, and when General Qin goes back, it will be sorted out, and in the future, our territory will have one more way to quickly train generals." Zhang Sheng is very happy, this is a baby.
"Imperial Journey" has special effects of the classics are not infinitely copied, like this kind of ancient military book, if you want the manuscript to be equally effective, you need to be held by the famous general, and add annotations, the effect of the final manuscript depends on the upper limit of the original version, the level of the previous famous general's annotations, if the level of the famous generals is not enough, it is useless.
This is a restriction, after all, the attributes of military books like "The Art of War" are quite exaggerated, and the same is true for special military training manuals and special architectural drawings, and it is useless to just copy them.
In the process of sweeping, he intermittently encountered ten mechanical tomb beasts, this time it was much easier, Feng Qing felt a big head in the face of the hard body of the tomb beasts, but Yan Guo did not have this kind of problem, and he was quite happy to have a good time.
Zhang Sheng is still very disciplined, but he moved everything that could be moved, and he didn't even dig out the mountain white jade that built the tomb, and Lu Chen'an can still come here to study etching in the future and apply what he has learned.
After all this, it was already dark, and the people returned to the collapsed main burial chamber, in which several campfires were burned, and the same was true around the pit, but the surroundings were brightly illuminated.
"Let's get started."
Open the coffin!
Zhang Sheng still plans to find the cause of the anomaly, and some more precious items are usually buried in the coffin.
Xu Changsheng was a little nervous, but the army had already emptied the tomb, and there was no movement in this coffin, so he was just nervous, and he didn't have the initial fear.
Soon, the outermost bronze coffin was opened, and two broken weapons were released from the compartment, one a war knife and the other a lance. Soon it was the second layer, and there were still weapon fragments placed, there were a lot of them, and some of the fragments were very small, probably the fragments of the weapons that the tomb owner had killed the enemy, marking his combat exploits. The last floor......
A shocking tomb, where nothing can be seen in the coffin, is like a pool of ink, and wisps of black gas are wafting, making people's hearts palpitate and uneasy.
"This is the breath of the abyss!?"
Feeling the wisps of black gas, as well as the thick "liquid", Zhang Sheng's face changed greatly, when he was a mercenary in the previous life, he had no less tasks to resist the invasion of the abyss, it would definitely not be wrong, this is the breath of the underground abyss!
"Cover the coffin, go!" Zhang Sheng ordered loudly with a cold face.
He finally knew why the owner of the tomb had not undergone a corpse transformation, because his body had already been completely corroded by the abyssal aura. And the reason why those corpse soldiers have outstanding combat effectiveness is also because of the influence of the abyss breath, but they are luckier than the tomb owner, they are not lying directly on the abyss rift, and the impact is gradual, so it is reflected in the reinforcement.
The abyssal breath can indeed strengthen the corpse soldiers, and it would be better if there was a Taoist priest who could refine corpses or a Death God sect host.
There is an abyssal rift underneath this coffin!
This rift could not have existed from the beginning, otherwise after so many years, an abyssal passage would have formed here long ago. Moreover, the time when the abyss appeared was also around the time of the collapse of Great Xia and the fall of the gods, and this ancient tomb was obviously older.
Zhenyuan City must be notified as soon as possible, if it is not dealt with, looking at the situation in the coffin just now, it will not take long for an abyss passage to be formed, which is too close to his territory!
As long as the abyss rift is sealed in time, there will be no big problems, and there are many ways to seal, such as the seal etching of the psionic researcher, the sealing talisman of the Taoist priest, and the divine power seal left by the gods, as well as some special items.
A simple abyss rift is enough to use another one, like the abyss passage under Zhenyuan City is very troublesome, the reason why Zhenyuan City was established is to assist in large-scale seal etching, in addition, talismans, divine power seals, and artifacts are all used.
But it's simple, there is no such talent in the territory, and he can only find Zhenyuan City.
Rumble......
Before the army could completely withdraw from the main burial chamber that had become a large pit, with a roar, the coffin that had just been covered suddenly burst, and the abyssal aura was permeated.
The ink-like liquid that everyone saw before was not actually a liquid, but just a visual illusion that the abyssal aura was thick to a certain extent, and it was still smoke-like in nature.
The black viscous "liquid" flowed, and in the blink of an eye, a small pool was formed, and a single horn stretched out from the surface, and then, with a roar, a monster with a human body and a beast head, with long gray hair all over its body, and a single horn on the top of its head, jumped out of the black pool.
Abyssal Demon Army!
It's really a bad year!
Zhang Sheng sighed that robbing the tomb really ruined his character!
It is not easy to transform an abyss passage, and now it can only be said that the Abyss Demon Army can barely come over, but it is impossible to pass through the army in an instant.
Yan Guo reacted the fastest, jumped down and flew directly with a boring shot, killing him instantly.
"It's nothing!" Yan Guo pursed her lips, seeing that the lord's brother was so nervous, she thought that a demon king would jump out, that's all?
"This is not weak anymore, and the terrifying number of the Abyss Demon Army!"
The general is a small soldier in seconds, can this be used as a reference?
The Abyss Demon Army is affected by the abyssal aura, and its physical fitness is stronger than that of the human race, and the most terrifying thing is the endless number, as if there is no end in sight, which is also the only existence that can compete with the number of corpses and bones of the Death God Sect.
What's even more troublesome is that the army of the dead can only mobilize the strength of the army to a limited extent through special means, and there are very few people who can master this means, and often the big battles rely on strong numbers. But the Abyss Demon Army is not much different from the Terran combat system, at most, it relies on numerical superiority, and it is often very unrestrained when fighting, and the general fear of death among the soldiers is not as serious as that of the Terran soldiers, and they are not afraid of death in battle.
Of course, the Abyss Demon Army also has weaknesses, I don't know how they supply before they jump out, anyway, as long as they appear in the Great Wilderness, they will plunder everything around, and the enemies they kill will also be used as military food, very brutal, there is no military discipline at all, and it is easy to fall into some schemes.
Such a brutal action, over the years, the creatures of the Great Wilderness have the same attitude towards them as they do towards the dead, and they will never die! The difference is that the immortality of the dead is incidental to the race, while the immortality of the Abyss Demon Army is caused by their actions.
