Wu Yong looked at Zhou County's order behind him, and Zhou's county's order immediately pushed out Li Zhutou beside him.

"Dao Chief, Li Zhutou knows, why don't you let him take you there."

When Ji Chen saw Zhou Xianling and Li Zhutou, he immediately felt disgusted, but he couldn't say why.

When Li Zhutou heard this, he took a few steps back, and then gestured to the county order of Zhou, pulled the county order aside, and whispered something.

Wu Yong said: "Eh, what are you talking about, don't come and lead the way." ”

Zhou Xianling walked over and said with a guilty face: "That, Li Zhutou didn't dare to go, saying that he wanted to change someone?" ”

"Huh?" Wu Yong looked angry.

Seeing this, Zhou County Ling immediately explained: "Everyone in that place said that it was evil, and there were two people missing. Especially now that it's getting dark, I can't see anything clearly, and I'm afraid I'm going to ......"

Wu Yong looked at Ji Chen, indicating that everything listened to Ji Chen.

Ji Chen asked, "How far is that place, and is the road easy to walk?" ”

"Not far away, go along the mountain road, and when you see a pavilion, go to the road on the right. When I saw a sip of mountain spring water, it was time to walk half a column of incense. There's a big horn tree, that's it. ”

"Good. Brother Wu, you just wait at the bottom of the mountain, I'll go up the mountain and take a look! ”

Wu Yong thought about it, this Jichen Dao cultivator is higher than that of the Zou Immortal Master, there should be no problem. Seeing that day, I was defeated by him with one move, and it was also a burden for me to wait for others to go.

"Well, there's a long way to go! We're here for you! ”

Ji Chen was alone and walked up the mountain.

The reason why he didn't fly was because he was afraid of missing some clues. And with Ji Chen's cultivation at this time, there is no difference between climbing such a little mountain road and peacefully.

The further he walked into the mountains, the more Ji Chen felt that there was a faint death aura looming in the mountains.

In a few moments, he came to the corner woods.

Ji Chen looked around and found that the dead air here was even stronger. Looking at the trees again, there are traces of fighting.

There were also some paw prints and sword marks on the tree, which were not like beasts, but more like human fingers. And the paw prints are more dead, and there is a slight green slime.

"Zombies!"

According to Ji Chen's past memories, this paw print and this breath should have been caused by zombies.

"Then Zou Qing must have discovered something, or it is impossible for him to disappear together."

Back at the bottom of the mountain, Ji Chen told everyone not to go up the mountain for a few days, and then talk about it when the truth is ascertained.

But those people were unwilling, which made Ji Chen also look surprised, aren't they even afraid of death, those who catch fast don't dare to go up the mountain.

But after listening to the people's reasons, Ji Chen understood.

The people said that they relied on the mountains to eat the mountains, and on weekdays they cut firewood, hunted, and planted some fruits in the mountains, and sold them in the county market or Luomei City to make a living.

If they are not allowed to go up the mountain, they will be cut off from their source of income, and the court will have to collect taxes every month, which is equivalent to asking them to die.

Only then did Ji Chen understand the sentence "Harsh government is fiercer than a tiger".

"Zhou County Order, if they go up the mountain again, I'm afraid there will be people missing."

"This, they also have to live, this is also something that can't be helped, and I can't stop them."

"Huh? You don't have a county order, and you can't do anything about it? Ji Chen raised his voice and asked.

Wu Yong saw that Ji Chen was really angry at this time, and the county order was ready to refuse again that week, so he immediately said.

"Zhou County's order, when you come, the prefect has an order, everything here is subject to the orders of the chief of the Dao."

After listening to Zhou County's order, he had to nod aggrievedly.

Ji Chen continued: "These days, the taxes of their people are exempted. In addition, some food will be distributed so that they will not go hungry during this time. ”

"It's... This... How is this..."

Before Zhou County's order could be finished, it was immediately interrupted by Wu Yong.

"Everything is under the orders of the chief of the Daoist Diet, and when I go back, I will report to the prefect and exempt you from paying taxes and food."

Zhou County Ling saw that Wu Yong's face also began to have anger, and he also knew the relationship between Wu Yong and the prefect, so he nodded reluctantly.

"Brother Wu, can you transfer some people from the prefect?"

"No problem, how much does the Taoist want, I'll adjust it immediately."

That night, Ji Chen stayed in Daoxiang County, and Wu Yong went to Luomei City to dispatch people.

This is also because the group of catchers in Daoxiang County are almost out of courage, so they don't dare to go up the mountain to patrol, and Zhou County Ling is also a nest of snakes and rats with them.

I don't know if it was Ji Chen's breath that made those zombies not dare to move, or if the zombies changed their targets, in short, tonight's Daoxiang County was quiet and nothing happened.

The next day, Wu Yong rushed to Daoxiang County with 200 soldiers.

Ji Chen divided them into five teams, each with forty people, and divided the corner of the forest into five areas, and let them patrol each of them.

And in each area, a deep pit was dug and a trap was made.

At the same time, they were given three "signal runes" and several first-order "evil charm charms" for each team, and they were also taught how to use these two spirit runes.

Ji Chen hid in one of the tallest trees, observing everything that was happening around him.

In the patrol team, the soldiers all held torches, kept looking around, and chatted a few words from time to time.

"Big brother, you said here, are there really monsters?"

"What a monster, that's a zombie, it eats people!"

"What if that zombie does come?"

"Didn't Dao Chief Ji say it, if he finds out, he will immediately ignite this signal charm, and he will immediately rush over to subdue the zombies."

"What if you can't make it? What if the Dao Master can't defeat the zombies? Wasn't Immortal Master Zou captured by zombies! ”

The man, known as Big Brother, paused for a moment, then said, "If we don't make it, we'll run." Who knows if his evil charm is useful, or his life is important. ”

"Yes, yes, Big Brother is right."

"Shhhh The captain whispered.

Gradually, the moon was obscured by dark clouds, and the visibility around it was a little lower.

There was a gentle breeze, but suddenly there seemed to be no wind at all.

There was a sound of "shivering" in the grass, and several of the soldiers in this group immediately turned around and looked at it with torches.

"Who? Come out! ”

"Come out!"

The whole team gathered together, staring at the grass, and their hearts hung in the air.

At this moment someone threw a large stone into the grass, and suddenly a dark shadow jumped out.

"Ahh Yes! Yes! ”

The crowd scattered, and some fell to the ground.

"Help, third child, pull me."

It was only when most of the people were hiding behind the tree trunks that they dared to poke their heads out.

The man who fell to the ground also turned his head in a trembling voice...

Because there was a torch that just fell on the spot where the black shadow jumped out, so that the soldiers could see the appearance of the black shadow clearly.
