After leaving the main hall of the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls and standing under the pedestal, Fei Tian raised his head slightly, looking at the white clouds in the air and was stunned, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a moment, a trace of confusion flashed in Fei Tian's eyes, and he sighed lightly. Then he opened his legs and walked slowly forward.

Looking at her slender figure out of the hall, sensing her gradually moving away, Emperor Xudu suddenly squinted, a murderous aura flashed in his eyes, and his fingers lightly cocked the armrest of the imperial couch, as if he was really talking to himself, and said coldly: "Keep an eye on Feitian, just now there was a moment when she blocked the connection with my thoughts." ”。

As soon as he finished speaking, a few bubbles suddenly appeared under a royal lotus in the pool, causing ripples, and then a strange-looking human soul suddenly swam out.

His skin was puffy, but it was as smooth as oil, so that although he floated out of the water, his body was never wet except for his hair, and between the ten fingers of his hands and feet, there was a layer of webbing as thin as cicada's wings, and on his face with fish gills on both sides, there were a pair of protruding eyes that glowed green.

Ghosts who have been in the underworld for a long time know that human souls have unlimited potential because they are created by gods, and because the causes of death are different, once the souls of a few human souls lose their physical bodies, they will mutate, making their bodies special.

At this time, facing the Emperor Xudu, the human soul standing in the pool is the drowned ghost among the ghosts, a kind of mutant human soul that died because of drowning.

Drowning ghosts, also commonly known as water ghosts, are not only good in water, but also infinitely powerful, and ten adult human men together do not have as much strength as him.

However, this kind of human soul is afraid of heat and fire, so they cannot be seen in the south of the underworld.

However, there are many springs and streams and waterfalls flowing in the mountain, and even these waters are connected underground, so that the drowned ghosts can sneak in them and wander around the mountain, so after the Emperor Xudu took control of the underworld, he secretly recruited a large number of such human spirits as one of his spies to supervise the various officials of the capital.

"No. The drowning ghost hurriedly bowed, and after a respectful answer, he jumped up and plunged into the pool again, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

All that was left was a splash of water and ripples that echoed across the water......

Xuan Yanzhou, Nanban.

An hour later, the village was reduced to ruins. The once colorful jade trees were only charred and black at this time, and almost all of them had been broken into broken wood.

Ashes flew and smoke obscured the sky. The houses in the village are also piles of rubble and rubble, and the broken beams and pillars lie in them.

As for the routs in the village, they all got the end of death without exception.

When the remnant sun was like blood, after hastily eating some dry food, the soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom began to put away their artillery and muskets, preparing to quickly evacuate this place.

They are too far away from the national border, there is no vanguard in front of them, there is no support in the back, and they are in enemy-occupied areas, so it is really not suitable to stay here for a long time.

Just when the Nine Shadows Army was packed, Shen Ji suddenly drilled out of the collar of the ghost captive, climbed to his shoulder and said with a solemn face: "Ghost General, the snake army that disappeared after assembling with this rout army in the stronghold has finally appeared. ”。

Li Hao and Li Chai gasped when they heard this, and hurriedly asked in unison: "Where is it? How far is it from us?"

"On the southeast side. While the ghost was pondering, Shen Ji had already pointed to the southeast and replied: "We are only eleven or twelve miles away, but the snake moves quickly, and they can reach this place in half an hour at most." ”。

"Then let him come. Li Hao and Li Chai, worthy of being two brothers, secretly calculated the distance in their hearts at the moment, their faces relaxed at the same time, they took a long breath in unison, and said in unison: "We can run far away in half an hour." ”。

Each sergeant under the ghost captives carried a purse full of dragon grass. The aura of dragon grass emitted from it could make all snake beast souls dare not approach them. At the moment, Li Hao and Li Chai were not frightened, anyway, there were pitcher plants, how could the snake dare to talk to them?

But before they could speak, the ghost captives said solemnly: "You must run if you run, but you can't just run away." ”。

This time he went deep into the enemy's belly, and he was always suspicious, according to the intelligence of the fungus people, this Ba Snake army had indeed gathered in the enemy's stronghold, but it did not attack Chongshan Pass.

And when the ghost captives pursued the enemy army to Du Ziren's northern stronghold, the Ba Snake Army was not among them. There was only one explanation, that the Snake Army had suddenly been transferred to carry out other orders for some reason after it had been assembled.

Now that he learned that the border stronghold had been destroyed, Du Ziren transferred them to retake the stronghold. And they attacked Wucai Village before, and the movement was not small, so they recruited this snake army.

"Map. When Li Hao and Li Chai were suspicious, the ghost captives had already beckoned to their heralds.

The herald hurriedly gave him the map, and after the ghost captives looked left and right, he pointed to the northwest of where they were, and said, "Let's run here." ”。

Li Hao, Li Chai, and Shenji were all curious, and when they saw that the ghost finger pointed out, it was a canyon, and after the four small characters of "Vampire Tree Valley" were written next to it, they were all stunned.

They all know that that place is the rumored weird place in the land of the Southern Barbarians of the Underworld. It is said that the valley was full of bones and lifeless, precisely because it was overgrown with a plant called the vampire tree.

Once a living creature approaches this place, except for the old gods, the rest have only one ending, and they are firmly stuck to the leaves of the vampire tree until they suck up all the blood.

Just thinking about it makes the ghosts shudder.

The ghost captives rolled up the map and handed it to the herald, looked around at Li Hao, who was a little pale, and smiled indifferently: "What are you afraid of, don't you have the dragon grass on your body?"

"Is this thing still restraining the vampire tree?" Li Haoshen asked with a trembling voice.

"Of course. The grimacing ghost, nodded heavily, looked at the sunset, and said, "It will be dark in an hour, and the Vampire Tree Valley is only twenty-five miles, and we will be able to arrive when it gets dark." Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, we led the Ba Snake Army into the valley and used the vampire tree to wipe them out. ”......

Half an hour later, ten huge snakes snaked forward and stopped in the open space to the north outside Wucai Village. Behind them, there were ten long, zigzag trails.

The scales of the ten long-headed snakes glistened in the afterglow of the setting sun.

On each snake, there are fifty heavily armed ghost soldiers, led by a rider with a whip and a rein, a scout with a telescope, and a rider with a shield and a spear. Further after that came the heralds and commanders. He was followed by forty-five soldiers, armed with spears and broadswords, or bows and arrows.

On the snake at the head, the commander is an old man with gray temples and a long beard over his chest, who is the general of this snake army.

His piercing eyes swept the scorched earth around him, and he immediately noticed a small series of inconspicuous footprints around the rubble on the ground not far away, intermittently stretching farther to the northwest.

The old ghost suddenly showed a trace of disdain, snorted lightly, and said, "Northwest, catch up and deal with them!"

"Kill!" the snake soldiers raised their swords and guns, and after howling angrily, the riders raised their whips one after another, and the snakes spat out snake letters and swam forward.

The Ba Snake Army stopped and stopped all the way, and occasionally saw the shoes left by the Nine Ghost Army on the side of the road or the scattered dry food and swords, but they never encountered an ambush or trap, which made the Ba Snake Army self-righteous that the other party was retreating in a hurry, and it was even more unscrupulous when it advanced.

They followed the scattered footprints left by the Nine Shadows Army, and after chasing for another hour, they came to a mountain range.

It was already dark, and the night was dark and windy, and the surroundings were deserted and plunged into darkness. In order not to attract the attention of the enemy, the Ba Snake Army did not light torches.

But this time, it is even more difficult to track down the Nine Shadows Army.

Just when the Ba Snake Army turned around in place, did not find any clues, and was about to withdraw, a few fires flashed not far from the north, accompanied by a "bang" sound, and several Ba Snake troops fell to the ground in response.

"There!" the angry old ghost turned his head to see that the few flickering sparks had disappeared in the night, but he didn't care, he had already remembered the sparks until they were spitting, drew his knife and pointed to the place where the sparks were swallowed before, and said, "Kill the past, leave no room for life!"

RidersThe riders pulled the reins and whipped the snakes seven inches with their whips, causing them to turn around and shoot towards the place where the sparks had burst out before.

In an instant, the ten snakes had come to the place where the sparks were spitting just now, but they didn't see a single figure of the Nine Shadows Army. However, it can be vaguely seen half a zhang away in front of you, and it is not a craggy strange stone on both sides, revealing a gap of more than one zhang.

It looks like a valley ahead.

But before they could take a closer look, in the valley ten zhang away, a few sparks erupted from the darkness without warning, and there was a "bang" sound, and two more snake armies suddenly landed, convulsing and scattering.

The Ba Snake Army is completely furious!

The anger in their chests made them no longer hesitate, and they all harnessed the huge snakes and scrambled towards the valley.

The snake hissed and spat the snake letter forward, occupying the scales as hard as armor on its body, crushing all the boulders that dared to stand in the way.

It didn't take long for them to look for the best taste and go dozens of feet deep into the valley.

But not a single figure of the Xiao family army was seen, and the fire hammer that attacked them twice before by taking advantage of the darkness of the night had not been shot again. The Ba Snake Army was very suspicious, and they stopped their progress and looked around.

In the darkness, they could see the sky above them turn into a thin line, and the ground around them was covered with rubble. But nothing else. The Nine Shadows Army that ambushed them seemed to have disappeared out of thin air from the valley.

Just when they were stunned, on the rock walls on both sides of the valley, countless rattans of different thicknesses quietly stretched out, twisting their bodies, and squirming towards the Ba Snake Army.
