Chapter 32: Devil's Ridge

Evil ghost, what evil ghost? Qin Chen didn't understand a little, so he wanted his grandfather to make it clearer, but grandpa just cried, and what he said didn't match the preface, and Qin Chen didn't understand what he was talking about.

Qin Chen was very anxious, but he couldn't be angry with his grandfather, but the village chief on the side explained the matter clearly.

It turns out that the land of the hundred countries has always been invaded by demon beasts, not only the people, but also the warriors have suffered many casualties, and this Qingyuan County has always been an important battlefield to block demon beasts, and the warriors have died a lot, and it is said that even the immortal masters of the Spirit Realm have died in battle.

At that time, there was a war, and these corpses could not be transported back to their hometown for burial, nor could they be cheapened by the group of demon beasts, so the people in power chose to be buried on the spot, even if the burial location was in the Wailing Crow Ridge, I don't know how many beast tides have occurred in the land of the hundred countries, and there are countless dead, and the corpses buried in the Wailing Crow Ridge are not millions, but hundreds of thousands.

For these corpses, it is said to be buried, but most of them are directly thrown there, Wailing Crow Ridge, Wailing Crow Ridge, it can be seen that there are many crows, and crows eat dead corpses, which just solves the problem of corpses and avoids the outbreak of the plague, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

But those dead were all killed by demon beasts, and the resentment before death can be imagined, so it led to a yin qi there that was surging to the sky, and mortals would get sick wherever they went, and the warriors would not dare to go easily. As soon as there was a lot of yin qi, rumors came out, saying that this place was the gateway of evil ghosts in the world, so they called Wailing Raven Ridge Evil Ghost Ridge, and over time, it was called down.

It happened three days ago, when the children in the village were playing outside, and suddenly a gust of wind blew, and those children disappeared, and the village chief happened to be at home at that time, and as soon as he heard the sound, he chased after him, and followed the yin wind to the Devil Ridge.

But what kind of place is the Evil Ghost Ridge, of course, with the village chief's cultivation of the body refining realm, he can't get in, so he retreats back like this. Later, when I inquired, not only this village, but also all the villages around Devil Ridge, children were missing.

Several surrounding villages knew that something was wrong, so they hurriedly reported to the township, and then to the town, handed it layer by layer, and finally arrived in the county. The county guard Luo Ye didn't dare to delay, the land of a hundred countries was sparsely populated, and the disappearance of hundreds of people this time was a big deal, and besides, they were all children, so it was a big deal among the big things.

Luo Ye hurriedly led a few guards to the Evil Ghost Ridge, but unfortunately nothing was found, on the contrary, a few people died, Luo Ye did not dare to delay, and hurriedly reported to the imperial court, but it will take a lot of time to come and go, and by the time the people from the imperial court come, those who are still young will probably die long ago.

In desperation, the village chief convened a general meeting of the whole village, hoping to discuss a result.

"That's it, Xiao Chen, you stand down. The village chief was a little disappointed because his grandson had also been arrested, but as the village chief, he couldn't cry, and if he cried, it would be over.

After listening to the village chief's words, Qin Chen roughly understood what was going on, and asked the village chief, "Village chief, what time is it today?"

"The fifteenth day of the first month. The village chief blurted out.

Speaking of which, there is still a difference between the New Year in the Land of a Hundred Kingdoms and Shenzhou, and there is no Lantern Festival here. The New Year ended on the ninth day of the first month, and Qin Chen went out for six days, and today is exactly the fifteenth day of the first month.

Grandpa always knew that Qin Chen was not a simple child, and when he asked like this, he couldn't help but say, "Xiao Chen, is there a way to save your sister?"

Qin Chen was also unambiguous, and nodded straight.

The village chief thought that Old Man Qin was crying stupidly because of the loss of his granddaughter, and said with a wry smile: "Xiao Chen is just a child, what can he do." ”

Grandpa argued: "Xiao Chen is a martial artist, very powerful. He will definitely rescue Huihui. ”

At this time, the villagers thought that Grandpa was stupid and hurriedly comforted him. lost his son in his later years, and now his granddaughter's life and death are uncertain, and it is normal to be hit.

Qin Chen also knew that he couldn't hide it at the moment, looked at the chaotic ancestral hall, and yelled, "Stop arguing." "The momentum is outgoing, where have those villagers felt this momentum, they can't even speak. Qin Chen saw it, and hurriedly collected his momentum, and it was not good for these ordinary people to release his momentum for a long time.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Qin Chen cleared his throat and concentrated everyone's attention, "I'm actually a martial artist of the Nine Realms of Body Refining. ”

The villagers were boiling all at once, because the village chief was a martial artist, so they were no strangers to the division of strength of martial artists. Ninefold Martial Artist, this is the pinnacle of the martial arts world.

Suddenly, those parents who had lost their children were about to kneel down to Qin Chen, hoping that he could save their children. How could Qin Chen be worshiped by them! Hurriedly stopped, the scene was extremely chaotic.

"Everyone is quiet. The loud voice spread throughout the ancestral hall, but this time it was not Qin Chen who said it. It was our village chief, who saw that it was the village chief who spoke, and the villagers fell silent again. Although Qin Chen's cultivation is much higher than that of the village chief, the village chief has been the village chief for decades, and his prestige is quite high, and the villagers dare not contradict him.

The village chief walked in front of Qin Chen, those villagers hurriedly gave up their positions, and the village chief spoke: "When I was young, I had the honor to meet a high-level martial artist in the Body Refining Realm, but your momentum is even stronger than his, I believe that you are a nine-fold martial artist in the Body Refining Realm, I don't know why you want to come to the mountain village, and I don't want to know Lu Dao." But I hope you can save those children for the sake of the feelings that you have lived for a year. "After that, I have to bow down.

Qin Chen hurriedly supported the village chief, this is his own elder, so he can let him worship, and hurriedly spoke: "Grandpa the village chief, I, Qin Chen, am a person from the mountain village, and now the mountain village is in trouble, and I have this strength, how can I stand by and watch." Then he turned to the crowd, "Don't worry, I will definitely save those children." ”

After finishing speaking, Qin Chen didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly asked the village chief to prepare some things, and the village chief immediately asked people to do it.

After sending the villagers away, only Qin Chen, the village chief, and grandfather were left in the ancestral hall.

The village chief asked Qin Chen: "Xiao Chen, what are you asking me what day I am doing today?"

Qin Chen didn't answer, but instead started a new topic: "I haven't seen evil ghosts, and I won't believe it." But I knew that it wasn't the devil who captured the child this time, but the zombie. ”

"Zombies?"

"Well, it's zombies. To put it bluntly, zombies are corpses buried in the yin veins and absorbed a large amount of yin qi to channel spirits. "Although Qin Chen had never seen zombies in his previous life, he had seen zongzi, which can be called a zombie before channeling. "Zombies are born of resentment, afraid of the sun, and extremely sensitive to anger, I guess this zombie is probably about to break through, so I caught those children, wanting to absorb the Yuan Yang and Yuan Yin Qi on the children's body on the night of the full moon, and then cooperate with the essence of the moon to break through in one fell swoop. ”

The village chief finally understood what was going on, but still asked, "Then what do you want those things for?"

Qin Chen did not answer. In fact, there were only two things that Qin Chen asked people to prepare, glutinous rice and black donkey hooves. These two things were used by others when he was archaeological in his previous life, as for other chicken blood, gossip plates, ink fountains, and so on. He didn't know how to use it, so he didn't let anyone prepare. When I returned home, I changed my clothes, and the original one had long been worn in the mountains.

Running thunder knife on his back. Carrying a bag of glutinous rice and black donkey hooves, with Qin Bai sitting on his shoulder, in the expectation of the whole village, Qin Chen set off. Originally, he wanted to leave Qin Bai in the village, but the dog refused to live or die, so Qin Chen had to take it with him.

The Evil Ghost Ridge is located about fifteen miles southeast of the mountain village, and there are several villages around, but no one dares to approach it, and it already belongs to the range of the vast mountain range. But unlike Dabi Mountain, it is a separate mountain. There are no monsters in the mountains, only crows and dead corpses. Of course, there are already zombies now.

When Qin Chen set off, it was already half of the afternoon, so he didn't dare to delay, so he ran away. After a while, they came to Devil Ridge.

I've heard grandpa talk about Devil Ridge before, but it's because grandpa scares her because Huihui is a picky eater. Qin Chen hadn't been here either, so he always thought that it was the villagers who spread the rumors, and it was no big deal, but when he looked at it today, it was really as his name was.

Standing outside the mountain, Qin Chen only had black gas in his eyes, although the sun had not yet set, the sunlight could not penetrate at all, as if this was a black hole that devoured the sun. The yin qi is rushing to the sky, covering the sky and the sun. There was no sound other than a few crow calls, adding a bit of horror to the place. The evening breeze blew, and Qin Chen actually felt a little cool. It deserves to be the Devil's Ridge.

Not daring to delay in the slightest, Qin Chen lit a torch, carried a bag and walked in. Qin Bai seemed to be a little disgusted by this place, but seeing that Qin Chen was already preparing to go in, he had to sigh, jumped on his shoulders and followed in. In a moment, Qin Chen's figure disappeared into the black mist, and even the light of the torch was invisible.

As soon as he entered it, Qin Chen heard the sound of crows coming from all directions. It seemed that he was attracted by the light of the torch, but Qin Chen couldn't help it, if he extinguished the torch, he would not be able to move an inch.

The light of the torch could only illuminate a radius of a few meters, and Qin Chen could only hear the sound of crows flapping their wings in this darkness. After a while, the crows in the sky entered Qin Chen's field of vision. Boundless, conservatively estimated to be in the thousands.

Looking at the boundless crows, Qin Chen was not worried, he was a ninefold martial artist in the Body Refining Realm, and these things that were not even first-level demon beasts, if he was defeated by these things, he would have no face. Then he put down the bag and pulled out the Benlei knife. Qin Bai also jumped off Qin Chen's shoulder, stood on the bag, and barked at the crows, as if he was very angry at the offense of these humble beings. It's a pity that the puppy is too small, and this bark is not only not powerful at all, but a little cute.

In a moment, dense crows came to Qin Chen's side, and some of their claws almost touched Qin Chen's scalp.

Without hesitation, Qin Chen's momentum was completely released, without the slightest reservation, those crows' movements were suddenly stunned, how could Qin Chen let go of this opportunity, and the Thunder Sword Technique was used with all his might, of course, it was just some ordinary moves, and it was really a bit overkill to use those big moves to deal with them.

Even ordinary moves are not something that these crows can resist. Black feathers flew, and the ground was soon filled with stump entrails. These crows became sluggish under Qin Chen's momentum and lost the effect of the surprise attack, how could they be Qin Chen's opponents.

Occasionally, one or two escaped Qin Chen's ultimate. Qin Bai flew up, and with a wave of his front paws, those crows were scratched to the bones and fell to the ground and died, Qin Bai stepped forward and took a bite, and suddenly spat wildly as if he had found that he had eaten the most unpalatable food in the world. I almost threw up.

In less than a pillar of incense, the bones of the crows on the ground were already one meter thick, but those crows were still fearless of death, Qin Chen didn't come here to kill crows, when he made a big move, a large area around him was empty in an instant, and those crows kept falling like rain. The crows were frightened and scattered.

Looking at the crow corpses all over the ground, Qin Chen felt a little disgusted, hurriedly walked through the corpse pile, picked up the bag, put Qin Bai on his shoulder, and continued to walk inside.

Not long after Qin Chen left, those crows went and returned, of course, it was not to trouble Qin Chen, their target was the corpse of their companion, after all, how could the corpse of Chen be compared to the fresh corpse?

There was the sound of crows eating from behind, of course Qin Chen would not be bored enough to kill back, he just felt a little nauseous. Hurry up and take three steps and two steps away from here.

It is not false at all to say that this place is Devil Ridge. Just take a few steps, you can step on the bones of human beings, not to mention how terrifying it is, but fortunately, with Qin Bai by his side, Qin Chen felt a little better.

Devil Ridge is not big, but it is not small. It is nearly a hundred miles in size, and of course, it is impossible to use it as a place for abandoned corpses without such a large area. To find hundreds of children here is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, but Qin Chen is not worried at all.

At this time, Qin Chen was feeling the strength of the yin qi physically and mentally, and the reason why it could be born was because the yin qi was so rich that it turned into a yin vein. And Qin Chen was looking for the place where the yin qi was the strongest, and that was also the place where zombies were most likely to exist. Although zombies are psychic, they are similar to beasts, and they are extremely home-loving, and they will not easily leave the place where they were born.

Although the change was very small, Qin Chen still felt it, the further south he went, the stronger the yin qi became, Qin Chen kept walking south, saying that dogs are the most psychic, it seems that this is true, Qin Bai at this time seemed to feel that there was some danger ahead, he kept barking, and only quieted down under Qin Chen's continuous comfort.

However, in this way, Qin Chen also knew that the direction he was taking was probably right, and he couldn't help but be a little excited. I'm just speculating that this zombie won't shoot at those children for the time being, but what if this zombie doesn't play cards according to common sense?

That's it, only take one step at a time.

After a while, Qin Chen came to the place where the yin qi was the strongest in the entire Evil Ghost Ridge, and when he saw this situation in front of him, even Qin Chen gasped.

There were three peaks here, among which the middle one was the most majestic, but Qin Chen took a closer look, what kind of mountain was this! This was clearly made up of countless corpses. There are mountains of corpses, how many people have to die here?

It turned out to be a canyon between the two mountains, but the piles of corpses turned out to be a majestic peak. What's even more terrifying is that this man-made mountain has turned out to be a yin vein. Qin Chen couldn't help but be a little curious, how many warriors and civilians had died in the beast tide back then?

Most of the corpses have long since turned into dry bones, but some of them still have their bodies. The yin atmosphere here is pervasive, but there is such a possibility. Qin Chen suspected that this zombie was changed by a martial artist who had been dead for an unknown number of years.

But now is not the time to think about these things, Huihui and the others are on it, I don't know if the zombies are not there, Qin Chen can't care so much, and goes straight to the mountain of dead corpses.

Although the second peak is high, with Qin Chen's skills, it is completely useless, and after a few swishs, he will reach the top of the mountain. The area on the top of the mountain was not large, but Qin Chen searched several times and found no trace of those children, not even a piece of cloth.

Qin Chen's forehead was sweating. Could it be that I am in the wrong place? But now that it is getting dark, what should I do?

Suddenly, Qin Chen saw Qin Bai, and heard that dogs' noses are very sensitive, and besides, this is still a demon dog, maybe you can try it yourself.

But there was no Huihui on his body, so in a hurry, Qin Chen picked up Qin Bai and let him smell his own smell, and then looked at Qin Bai: "Xiaobai, now the hope is all up to you, can you find a human with the same smell as me here? The smell is not the same, as long as it is the breath of a human being." ”

Looking at Qin Chen's serious eyes, Qin Bai seemed to be serious as well, barked a few times, opened Qin Chen's hands, and ran down the mountain.

There is play. Qin Chen didn't dare to delay, he hurriedly followed, and after going down the mountain, Qin Bai didn't go to other places, but went straight to the mountain on the left. Qin Chen suddenly realized, it would be to put the captured child here, it was really treacherous!

On the hill on the left, there are only a few sparse trees, and the rocks are craggy. There were no wild beasts, not even crows. The perennial yin aura is shrouded, but compared to the corpse mountain in the middle, it can be regarded as a paradise on earth.

Qin Chen followed Qin Bai to the top of the mountain, and at a glance, hundreds of children were lying on the ground. Qin Bai next to him kept screaming, and Qin Chen hurriedly praised it a few words.

Hundreds of children were lying on the ground. Qin Chen touched a few children, but it was okay, they were breathing, but they just fell asleep.

kept turning over the child, and suddenly the sharp-eyed Qin Chen rushed forward and picked up a girl. After trying, there was still breathing, and at this time Qin Chen was completely relieved. Finally found Huihui.

Looking at the few tear stains on Huihui's face, it should have been crying, Qin Chen hurriedly passed through a few true qi, and Huihui slowly opened her eyes.

seemed to be a little confused, but when he saw Qin Chen in front of him, tears suddenly flowed, and he couldn't stop it, "Brother, you finally came to save Huihui, Huihui is so scared, this is not a dream!"

Qin Chen hugged him tighter after hearing this, "Huihui, my brother is here to save you, this is not a dream, my brother is here to take you home." ”
