The moment he stepped into the gate of Duke Xu's Mansion, Jiang Chen couldn't help but take stock of the strength he currently had, as well as his power and help.

…………

Strength:

The powerful power brought by the Scavenger Ritual, the two major life characters of "Guard" and "Ranger of Han", and the new ability promoted by the entanglement of grass: Demon Vine!

Due to the fact that he had just obtained it, Jiang Chen did not have time to test the actual effect of this ability, and could only apply it in actual combat.

…………

Influence level:

Hundreds of generals, with ten Qingzhou soldiers as the core and eighty militia as wings, built a team. It has a high influence among the people.

…………

Assistance level:

and Zhang Longxiang's military officials at all levels, have two sides.

He has a close relationship with Feng Lebin, a hundred generals.

…………

"Before you know it, have I grown to this point?"

Jiang Chen was happy in his heart, and cautiously walked into Duke Xu's mansion.

Behind him, the four people led by Gongsun Hu all carried shields, stone ropes, short spears, spears and other equipment, as well as more than 60 Qingzhou soldiers brought by Feng Lebin, and also carried spears and swords, all fully armed, closely following Jiang Chen's footsteps, and stepped into the mansion together.

And everyone's first reaction was-

"Is there really anyone living here?"

Around the front yard, most of the valuable things had been snatched away, dilapidated and empty, as if they had been looted by robbers a hundred and eighty times.

Whoever comes, they won't feel that there are still people living in this mansion.

But!

A trace of regret flashed in Yi Qiu's eyes, and he said categorically:

"All the people of the Xu clan live in the underground secret room, because those vegetables and meat are all sent in by someone I arranged."

Jiang Chen knew in his heart and asked Yi Qiu to continue to lead the way.

Soon.

The soldiers strode into the back garden.

Yi Qiu walked into a rockery, knocked lightly a few times, and suddenly, a rockery suddenly cracked, revealing a passage.

Feng Lebin carried the knife and prepared to go in.

Jiang Chen stared at the swarthy entrance of the cave, his eyebrows tingled faintly, so he shook his head, stopped Feng Lebin's reckless action, and ordered the soldiers to collect dung and wet firewood and burn them at the entrance of the cave.

Then.

A few more screens were found to make oversized fans, and the soldiers desperately shook the fans, billowing white smoke, and poured into the cave door.

But a stick of incense time.

Thirty or forty Xu clansmen inside couldn't hold back any longer, they covered their mouths and noses, and ran out, seeing that there were soldiers at the door of the cave, they simply put down their weapons, raised their hands, and signaled surrender.

Feng Lebin was stunned:

"Before they could fight, they surrendered?"

Jiang Chen sneered:

"A small number of literati are loyal and worthy of admiration, but most of them, perhaps the last moment, resolutely jumped into the river, ready to drown and die for their country.

But the next moment, they will reply to you with a sentence of 'the water is too cold', and turn around and go to the enemy country, which is the disposition of most literati. ”

Feng Lebin deeply agreed, scolding the literati Feira is unbearable, and it is always the most interesting topic among military generals.

Followed by.

Gongsun Hu put on a straight face, and questioned the many people of the Xu clan who escaped one by one, and the more he listened, the more serious his face became, and he hurriedly told Jiang Chen:

"Boss, those Xu clan people fled, on the one hand, it was full of smoke and couldn't breathe, on the other hand, the corpse demon was uncontrollable, and when it sensed that there was no way back, it began to devour the Xu clan people, trying to recover from their injuries, and under internal and external difficulties, everyone completely gave up resistance and chose to surrender."

Jiang Chen understood and asked:

"How many people from the Xu clan have not been able to escape?"

Gongsun Hu immediately said:

"There are about sixteen or seventeen people, which is enough for the corpse demon to fully recover from its injuries, why don't you go in and hit it by surprise before the corpse demon has healed?"

"Those Xu clan people confessed that the strength of the corpse demon is related to its size, and it was still as thin as a human last night, but as long as it eats twenty or thirty living people, it can enter a mature state, and if you eat more virgins and girls, it may even become stronger."

Jiang Chen shook his head.

He doesn't like to go into the unknown to fight.

The unknown means danger, it means the possibility of failure, and instead of venturing into a narrow underground chamber, it is better to lure it out with flesh and blood.

As everyone knows.

A narrow environment is best suited for those who win more with less, especially if they have strong individual abilities.

"Shu Dao Difficulty" once described a similar situation: "The Sword Pavilion is majestic and Cui Wei, one husband is the pass, and ten thousand people are not open." Guards or bandits, turned into wolves and jackals! ”

And now,

Since you have the advantage of troops, why use your own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths?

Jiang Chen ordered the soldiers to stop burning the dung, the corpse demon was not a normal life, it didn't need to breathe, it was almost harmless, the smoke was useless, but would obstruct the vision of many soldiers.

Soon.

The smoke cleared.

The soldiers carefully cut the throats of live chickens and ducks and bleed, and threw them at the entrance of the hole.

however

But he never saw the corpse demon tempted to run out of the underground secret room.

Feng Lebin sneered:

"It seems that this corpse demon has a bit of brains, and he knows that hiding in a narrow environment will have a chance to fight back."

That's when it happened.

The current head of the Xu family begged Gongsun Huyang for a long time, and finally got the opportunity to meet Jiang Chen, he walked quickly, gritted his teeth and said:

"This corpse demon, originally my youngest child, named Xu Hui, when the hundred ghosts were walking at night, for some reason, suddenly turned into a corpse demon, as if they were controlled, rushed out of the door, and fought with your army.

But soon after, it was seriously injured and fled back to the Xu Mansion.

For the first day or two, whenever someone in the house was injured, it would not be able to control its desires, and devoured that person's life alive, and in desperation, I had to put him in a cage and lose weight day by day.

But who would have thought that after its body shrunk, it would escape from the crack of the cage and cause today's trouble......"

The head of the Xu family babbled a lot, but the central idea was only one sentence:

"The smell of blood from live chickens and ducks is not enough to attract corpse demons."

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and asked:

"Do you have another child, named Xu Ming?"

The head of the Xu family seemed to glow with green light all over his body, nodded and said sadly: "Yes, but he has died in the Hou Mansion." ”

The corners of Jiang Chen's mouth twitched, and he ordered the soldiers to immediately go to the mass grave outside the city, take some fresh flesh and blood, and place them in the following places according to his plan:

At the door of the cave, ten meters outside the cave, twenty meters, thirty meters, forty meters.

Moreover.

In the process of searching for fresh flesh and blood, many soldiers were not idle, and quickly prepared a few traps for you to enter the urn.

It didn't take long.

The corpse demon in the underground secret room, Xu Hui, suddenly twitched his nose, his brain was suddenly controlled by the desire to devour flesh and blood, and then he rushed madly towards the cave door.

An indescribable fishy smell gradually wafted out of the cave door, like the smell of rotting seafood and heating it in the microwave.

Yi Qiu clenched his fists and said angrily: "Yes, this is the smell, when my daughter disappeared, it was this smell!" ”

"Master Jiang, please kill this monster!"

"I do my best."

Jiang Chen fixed his eyes.

A huge and ugly monster figure gradually rushed out of the dark passage, and then greedily stretched out his hand and grabbed the delicious flesh and blood, chewed and swallowed it heavily, and the blood dripped down the sharp teeth, which looked particularly terrifying!

The corpse demon is out!
