Chapter 038: Corpse soldiers surround the mountain, unexpected joy
"Oops!"
Zhao Que returned to the valley, gathered his subordinates, and announced a message.
A large crowd came from outside the valley.
but not the living.
It's an army of dead bodies.
Hearing this news, all the soldiers looked at me, and I looked at you, all with incredible expressions.
Then.
Zhao Que no longer hid, and had a showdown with his subordinates.
He directly told everyone that those one-eyed giants who were several feet tall and could breathe cold breath were a kind of demon from the ghost country in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
And there is also a kind of demon in the ghost kingdom who likes to manipulate dead corpses.
Corpse sheep.
According to the records in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the evil ghost corpse sheep, with a sheep's head and a human body, has three eyes on its face, and likes to steal people's corpses everywhere and transform them into corpse soldiers.
In this way, everything makes sense.
The reason why the exterminated dog tribes on the grassland were not eaten was that they were taken away by corpses and sheep and transformed into corpse soldiers.
And at this moment.
An army of corpses is coming from the north, and at its pace, it will reach and encircle the valley in half an hour at most.
Is it an immediate breakthrough?
Or stay here and hold on to the fight?
As the chief general, Zhao Que is not arbitrary, he wants to hear the opinions of his subordinates.
Outcome.
All chose to stay and fight.
The reason is simple.
In addition to the approaching army of corpse soldiers, there are thousands of ice giant wolves outside the valley, and if you force yourself to break through, you must abandon your war horses and form a formation to kill them in one go.
After all, they were just a bunch of infantry who could ride horses.
But in this way, their small army of 100 people will completely lose their mobility advantage, and at that time, they are likely to face the double encirclement and suppression of the ice giant wolf and the corpse army......
Rather than this, it is better to take advantage of the dangerous terrain and stick to this valley and wait for the opportunity.
"Then keep it!"
After Zhao Que and his subordinates reached an agreement, they immediately began to formulate a defensive plan.
After a stick of incense.
Zhang Qi's Ninth Shi received an order to go to the top of the mountain east of the valley to set up a defensive line to prevent the corpse soldiers from crossing the top of the mountain and attacking the valley.
"Order!"
The chief of the king, Changxin, immediately led his nine soldiers to climb the mountain to the east.
Zhang Qi was condescending, looking out of the valley.
This mountain is actually not very high, from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, it is only two or three hundred meters, and with the running speed of the ice giant wolf, one or two breaths can sprint for hundreds of meters.
Fortunately, the mountain is not high, but it is very steep.
The near-vertical cliffs keep the giant wolves of the ice field out of the valley.
"Look!"
Soldier Xu Jia suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed.
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and in the northeast direction, a few miles away, a few small black dots could be faintly seen, slowly moving in this direction.
Because today's wind and snow are a bit noisy, I can't see it clearly.
But over time.
The number of small black dots in everyone's field of vision is increasing, and the distance is getting closer and closer, and they can already see what they are.
"Shhh
The people of the ninth Shi collectively took a breath of cool air.
Those small black dots are a group of mobile corpse soldiers, wearing the costumes of the caninus, holding a mess of weapons in their hands, many of them are missing arms and legs, and they look like a group of rabble.
But there are too many of these corpses.
The corpse soldiers seen from this direction alone were no less than thousands, like a black tide, constantly approaching.
Wang Changxin and the others all looked heavy.
Although the valley is impregnable, there are so few of them, only a hundred.
And the wolves and corpse soldiers outside, in the thousands!
In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of corpse soldiers surrounded the entire small valley from all directions.
There are even some corpse soldiers who have moved to the foot of the mountain.
At such a close distance, Zhang Qi could clearly see the appearance of these corpse soldiers, men, women and children, the skin on their bodies was cyan, and their eyes were pale...... If you look closely, you can also see a faint gray-black gas from these corpse soldiers.
He had already taken the time to read all of the "Ghost Country Chapter of the Overseas Northern Classic", and there happened to be a detailed record of the corpse sheep in it.
Evil ghosts and corpses, corpses for fun.
Corpse soldiers who are refined and manipulated by corpse sheep will emit a kind of corpse qi to the outside, which can protect the corpse soldiers from yang energy.
Therefore, these corpse soldiers can move during the day and are not affected.
Furthermore.
In every group of corpse soldiers, there must be a corpse general.
The corpse general is not only powerful, but also responsible for leading the corpse soldiers to march and fight.
Zhang Qi saw a corpse general more than three meters tall, mixed among the corpse soldiers, with four arms, covered in black smoke, like a demon.
He silently looked at the corpse general in the distance,
Unexpectedly, this corpse general actually felt something, turned his head, and looked at him on the mountain, there was a dark blue ghost fire flashing in his hollow eye sockets, and the forest was like electricity.
Zhang Qi suddenly felt cold all over his body, like falling into an ice cellar.
"Boom!"
In the next second, the huge qi and blood in his body operated automatically, like a round of the sun reflecting on his whole body, instantly dispelling the yin and evil qi that had invaded his body.
"I'm!"
Zhang Qi came back to his senses and raised a middle finger at the corpse general under the mountain.
The corpse will not be aware of the humiliation.
He glared at Zhang Qi on the mountain a few more times, and after finding that it didn't work, he gave up.
It didn't take long.
The four-armed corpse general suddenly took some of the corpse soldiers, along with almost all the ice wolves, and headed south.
The only way into the valley is to the south.
The battle soon broke out, and the sounds of fighting and roaring echoed through the valley to the south.
The Ninth Shi guarding on the top of the mountain, although they are concerned about the battle situation, their task is to guard this place, and if they do not receive a military order, they must not leave their posts without permission.
So, they can only sit on the mountain and watch the battle.
Zhang Qi was bored and decided to do something, he aimed at a group of corpse soldiers at the foot of the mountain, took out an iron wire bow and a black iron arrow, and raised his hand to be an arrow.
Syllable!
A corpse soldier at the foot of the mountain was shot in the head with an arrow.
The bodies and heads of these corpses were as hard as stones, and they were hard to be wounded by swords.
But I had no choice but to make a miracle.
The thirty-stone iron wire bow, coupled with Zhang Qi's exaggerated arm strength, shot out another black iron arrow......
A headshot with one arrow is not surprising.
Like the zombies in some movies, these corpses are actually very difficult to kill, and their only weakness is their heads, which must be cut off in order to kill them completely.
Of course, headshots are also fine.
The corpse soldier who was shot in the head with an arrow instantly dissipated the corpse qi on his body, and his body also decayed rapidly, turning into a pile of dry bones in the blink of an eye.
Meanwhile.
Zhang Qi faintly noticed that there seemed to be something more in his body.
"What's going on?"
Zhang Qi showed a hint of surprise on his face, he had killed wolves and people before, but this had never happened......
Thereupon.
He fired another arrow, knocking the second corpse soldier in the head.
And then.
Something had been added to his body again, not qi and blood, but some kind of completely new energy.
I don't know what it is.
I only know that this energy is not harmful to his body, and as for the benefits, I can't see it for the time being.
"It should be that the number is too small, so I can't see the effect......"
In order to verify his guess, Zhang Qi shot arrows continuously, and shot these target-like corpse soldiers at the foot of the mountain one by one.
When shooting the thirty-first corpse soldier.
Zhang Qi finally felt it, and hurriedly opened the panel to take a look.
[Root Bone: 1.2]
Killing these corpse soldiers actually increased his root bones by 0.1.
He was stunned on the spot.
What a bonus.
