Volume 3 Canglan Secret Realm Chapter 213 Corpse Soldiers
Qi An didn't take it seriously, and with a wave of his hand, all the other things scattered on the ground were put away by him and put them into his storage bag.
Tang Chuan happily put away the fan as well, and then his thoughts returned to the topic, muttering: "It's strange! Since the murderer has already killed people, why didn't he take the storage bag away? Could it be that something has happened?"
Qi An crouched down and flipped the body lying on his side slightly, so that it was facing up, and the fatal wound on the deceased's chest was clearly visible to the two of them.
"Look here!" Qi An pointed to the terrifying wound, on top of the bright red flesh, there were some small dark green particles, if you didn't look closely, it was easy to ignore it.
"What is this?" Tang Chuan also leaned down, looking at those small dark green particles curiously, and at the same time released his divine sense, combined with his visual senses, and immediately became meticulous.
"Could it be...... Patina?" Tang Chuan quickly said again, but his tone was a little uncertain.
"Almost!" replied as Qi An picked up a rusty bronze spear from the ground, scraped it hard with his fingernails, and some rust particles fell off, the same patina from the dead man's wound, apparently the same thing.
Tang Chuan suddenly realized: "It turns out that the murderer killed this monk with a spear on the ground!"
"Yes, but not exactly!" Qi An's answer was a little inexplicable, and he grabbed the tip of the spear and folded it hard, but the spear, which looked like it was about to rot, was only slightly curved, and not as fragile as he had imagined.
"This is no ordinary bronze spear, if I am not mistaken, this is a weapon forged from a special metal, and its toughness is not below that of a magic weapon. ”
After Qi An finished speaking, he casually threw the spear in his hand to Tang Chuan, and after the latter took it, he also tested it, and it was really tough, at least with his strength, it was difficult to damage it.
The surface of this spear has no seal carving runes, and it cannot attract the Heaven and Earth Yuan Force, so it is naturally not a magic weapon, but its toughness is comparable to that of a magic weapon, and the reason for this should be in the material.
"This battlefield has existed for an unknown number of years, and it has been left since ancient times, and it is by no means an ordinary battlefield, and even these people who died on the ground are not ordinary soldiers. Qi An slowly stood up, his tone a little solemn.
"It's really a little weird!" Tang Chuan nodded in agreement, throwing down the bronze spear in his hand, "It stands to reason that after tens of thousands of years, all the corpses should have decayed long ago, at most only white bones remain, but many of the dead bodies here can still see clearly what they looked like before they were alive, they are just shriveled and dehydrated, which is unreasonable!"
"Not bad!" Qi An beckoned, and the spear that Tang Chuan threw away fell into his hand again, only to see him staring at the tip of the spear that was not very sharp, and a light flashed in his eyes, with a thoughtful expression.
Afterwards, Qi An said something that shocked Tang Chuan: "From the beginning, I thought that this monk was not killed by someone, but died at the hands of these soldiers!"
"What?" Tang Chuan seemed to hear the most incredible thing in the world, "These soldiers don't know how many years they have been dead, how can they kill people......?" Are they alive, are they not dead?"
Qi An shook his head, as if he was thinking deeply, and as if he was hesitating, he said after a long while: "They are indeed dead, but if they are driven by the power of the formation, they can stand up again and continue to fight, killing outsiders!"
"This ......," Tang Chuan was so surprised that he forgot to keep smiling.
Qi An clenched the spear in his hand, and suddenly stabbed it diagonally, and the spearhead pierced into the chest and abdomen of a soldier's corpse on the ground, poking a hole.
"Sure enough, it's as I thought...... Qi An let go of the spear and muttered to himself, "The body is as strong as iron, not like a mortal body, most of them are ghost soldiers who have been deliberately refined and controlled by the formation!"
Tang Chuan was speechless, he had already believed half of Qi An's words, and he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, worried that these dead soldiers would suddenly change and hurt people.
Qi An then said: "If I guess correctly, this ancient battlefield is definitely not as calm as imagined, the Jin Ge Iron Horse, the Forest of Swords, should be the golden array in the Five Elements Chain Array, and the previous Yellow Sand Array is the earth array, the earth can produce gold, and it will fall into the golden array when it comes out of the earth array, which is also reasonable!"
Tang Chuan had heard Qi An talk about the serial array before, and when he heard this remark at this time, he could quickly understand, so he asked: "What are the characteristics of this golden array? Could it be that these soldiers will suddenly come back to life and kill people when they see them?"
"Very likely!" Qi An pointed to the Wuzhen Alliance monk on the ground who had been dead for several hours, and said to Tang Chuan, "This person is estimated to have not stayed in the Yellow Sand Formation for a long time, probably by mistake, he came here, and then was attacked by these ghost soldiers, speared through his chest, and died. This would explain why there was bronze rust on his chest wound and the storage bag remained on his body after his death. ”
Tang Chuan was greatly impressed after hearing this, and praised from the bottom of his heart: "I didn't expect you to be young, but you are very observant, your mind is also very cautious, and you also know the formation, Tang is really impressed!"
Qi An was originally very careful, smart-minded, good at thinking, after being promoted to the Refining God Realm, the Yuan Shen was strong, wisdom breeded, and with the help of divine sense, he observed things more carefully, rarely missed, and because of the growth of age, he was a little more calm than when he was a teenager, and he was a little less impetuous, and it was easy to grasp the key when he looked at the problem.
In his own opinion, there is nothing, but in the eyes of others, it is enough to be amazing.
Since Qi An joined the Divine Sword Guard, because he had defeated Rong Sheng, Tang Chuan had attracted his attention, but because Tang Chuan, Zhuang Wei, and Ram Qiyu at that time had sensed the opportunity to break through, and they were about to be promoted to refining gods in the near future, they didn't care too much.
Who would have thought that after only half a year, Qi An showed his might on the battlefield and defeated Wen Leopard with one punch, which aroused the vigilance of the four rookies and once again listed Qi An as a figure of the same level.
But in fact, except for Rong Sheng, who was in a shadow, in the subconscious of the other three, they still despised Qi An, thinking that the other party was inferior to him.
It wasn't until not long ago that Qi An showed his cognition of the formation, coupled with his meticulous heart and careful thinking at this time, that Tang Chuan really admired and fully recognized Qi An.
So Tang Chuan asked very seriously: "Under what circumstances will these ghost soldiers attack?"
"I don't know!" Qi An also replied seriously, "This formation is very complicated, I can't fully understand it with my ability, anyway, you just need to be careful, always be vigilant, you can't be wrong!"
He was telling the truth, when the formation was silent, it was a maze and a trapped formation, and it was difficult to find its laws, and only when the formation was running at full strength and became a killing array and a desperate formation, it was easy to see the flaws.
For example, in the previous Yellow Sand Array, although Qi An saw that the key to getting out of the formation was quicksand, under what circumstances would the sand puppet army appear, he still hadn't figured it out, let alone this Jin Ge Formation, which had just arrived and only saw the tip of the iceberg.
"I don't know what the strength of these ghost soldiers is, they can't be even more powerful than those sand golems, right?" Tang Chuan said as he looked around, looking at the corpses lying on the ground, he only felt his scalp tingle, and his heart was a little panicked.
"It's hard to say!" Qi An's expression was also heavy, "For example, this monk of the Wuzhen Alliance, the magic weapon used should be the fan you took away, but he didn't even take out the fan, and the person was already dead, either it happened suddenly and he didn't have time to react, or the enemy was too strong and unable to resist, no matter which one it is, it's not good news for us, you better ask for more blessings!"
Who knew that Tang Chuan smiled "haha", his expression was free and easy, but he couldn't see a little worry, but with a hint of joy: "Life and death have a fate, wealth is in the sky, life and death will be talked about later, there is a wealth at present!"
Qi An was slightly stunned, not understanding why the other party said this, but he didn't bother to dwell on it, so he said: "Let's go!
After speaking, turn around, take a step, follow the original direction, stride forward.
But Tang Chuan didn't follow, but said: "Let's look for it separately! I have a hunch, maybe I can make a fortune here! When the time comes, the people who see it will have a share, and it is not easy to divide, and I don't want to take advantage of you anymore, let alone take advantage of me, so it is better to part ways and rely on chance!"
Qi An suddenly understood what Tang Chuan's idea was, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll just go this way, you feel free!"
After saying that, he was about to leave, but he was stopped by Tang Chuan, and with a wave of his hand, he threw something over.
Qi An took a look, it was a sound transmission jade tube, and then he heard Tang Chuan say: "Contact at any time if there is a situation! There is an inexplicable force suppressing in this ghost place, and the sound transmission distance may not be as good as before, so you don't go too far!"
Qi An nodded, put away the sound transmission jade tube, but Tang Chuan took the first step, quickly swept in one direction, and soon disappeared into the dark dust mist.
Seeing that Tang Chuan was gone, Qi An also planned to leave, but as soon as he took a few steps, he came back and walked straight to the dead Wuzhen Alliance monk.
Looking at the other party's burly figure that was extremely similar to his own, Qi An thought for a while, and then used the [Tuoying Mask] to copy the opponent's facial features, and then a red true energy rose from the palm of his palm, and struck out with one palm, turning into raging fire, burning the corpse clean, leaving no trace.
As for the corpses of those soldiers who died in different forms, they were really a little strange, they were not afraid of fire, and they would not burn with them, most of them, as Qi An guessed, they had been disposed of by people by refining corpses, and they could be called "corpse soldiers".
Qi An couldn't do so much, and after burning the monk's body to ashes, he strode away without looking back, heading in the opposite direction to Tang Chuan.
