The sound of snow clattering outside the cave sounded intermittently for most of the night.

It wasn't until dawn that it was completely quiet.

Chu Tianxing didn't pay attention to it at all, meditating and cultivating for a while, and learning the language for a while, just when those abnormal movements outside did not exist.

Seeing that he was so calm, Xue Ziwei also calmed down, and cultivated after eating and drinking.

After dawn.

The air in the cave was a little muddy, so Chu Tianxing went over to push away the snow piled up at the entrance of the cave for a while, and by the way, he grabbed the snow and rubbed his face.

Xue Ziwei came to the entrance of the cave.

She couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw the large messy footprints on the snow in front of the cave that were passing in the same direction:

"This ...... Why are they all human footprints? Why didn't you hear the voices of people last night, and you didn't notice the popularity at all? Are there still people walking in the snow who are barefoot? Are there masters who are not invaded by the cold and heat?"

Chu Tianxing didn't care, walked out of the cave, opened the posture, played the easy tendon forging bones, and said:

"It may not be a person who passed last night. ”

"Huh?" Xue Ziwei was stunned: "It's not a person?

Chu Tianxingdao:

"You observe for yourself and see what's wrong. ”

After that, he focused on punching.

Xue Ziwei walked out of the cave, looked around carefully for a while, and said:

"There's something wrong!

"Some footprints are one with shoes and the other without shoes.

"Next to some of the footprints, there are some very rusted iron pieces scattered around, which look like nail pieces.

"Some of the barefoot footprints, judging from the shape of the imprints, the soles of the feet do not feel like flesh and blood human feet at all, but like dried corpses...... Huh!"

She stared at a dry palm for a while, pointed to the severed hand with dry flesh, and turned her head to look at Chu Tianxing:

"There's a guy who left his hand here!"

Chu Tianxing punched slowly, and when the fist was moving, the muscles and bones of his whole body faintly let out a roaring sound like grinding, and his expression was calm and leisurely:

"Well, I've seen that. ”

Xue Ziwei was a little nervous, and clenched her fists with both hands:

"So what the hell happened last night? It can't be a ghost, right?"

Chu Tianxing said with a smile:

"Ziwei, you won't be afraid of ghosts, right?

"As the third generation of disciples and grandsons of the electronic music Rulai, isn't it your specialty to practice the magic skills of the Rulai and surpass the undead ghosts?"

Xue Ziwei said confidently:

"The kung fu of my vein has a strong restraining effect on external demons such as yin and evil spirits.

"But I'm a girl!

"Isn't it natural for girls to be afraid of ghosts?"

Chu Tianxingdao:

"Well, you have a point.

"According to the current situation, there should indeed be 'ghosts' in this world.

"It's not a ghost here, it's probably not the same thing as a ghost as we usually know it. They are physical, perhaps more like the legendary zombies. ”

Xue Ziwei said curiously:

"Then the ghosts here will also suck blood and eat people like zombies?"

Chu Tianxingdao:

"This ...... When I'm done with this fight, let's go and see the cavalry I killed yesterday. ”

After a trip to Yi Jian Forging Bones, Chu Tianxing wiped his sweat with a towel, went back to the cave to pack his luggage into the brass ring, and together with Xue Ziwei, he swept towards the position where he killed the cavalry yesterday.

It didn't take long for the two to reach their destination.

"I smashed the heads of five cavalrymen yesterday. The corpses of the other cavalrymen were relatively intact. ”

Looking at the five frozen headless corpses on the ground, Chu Tianxing said slowly:

"The relatively intact corpses are gone, and only the five headless corpses remain...... Ziwei, tell me, why is that?"

Xue Ziwei pursed her lips and pointed to a mark on the snow.

"Here, there was a corpse lying there. Now, the corpse is gone, and there are traces of hand support next to it, and new footprints have appeared in front of the traces of the corpse lying......"

As she spoke, she simulated the situation in her mind.

A corpse lying quietly suddenly sat up on its back, supported the ground with both hands, slowly stood up, took a big stride, and walked forward.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shiver.

Looking at the marks left by the disappeared corpses around him, he muttered:

"All the intact corpses have become 'ghosts'?"

"Not bad. Chu Tianxing nodded:

"The five headless corpses were unremarkable, as they were when they died yesterday, and there were no signs of gnawing on their bodies.

"It shows that the ghosts here don't eat people—at least not corpses.

"The disappearance of intact corpses, with signs of getting up and walking on their own, indicates that they have all become 'ghosts'.

"It seems that the 'ghosts' of this world have the ability to transform corpses into their own kind. ”

He looked in the direction of the large footprints and said:

"The direction these ghosts are heading is the same direction that the cavalry came from yesterday. According to this reasoning, yesterday's cavalry, probably scouts, came to investigate the movements of the 'ghosts'. ”

Xue Ziwei was taken aback:

"Then let's kill all the scouts, won't those ghosts who passed last night not be discovered?

"Then if these ghosts enter the territory of humans and create more ghosts......

"Isn't this our sin?"

Chu Tianxing disagreed:

"Those scouts are looking for their own death, but they don't blame us. ”

In fact, according to the information obtained by Serena reading her memory, most of the main members of these armies that served in the far north to guard against the "Winter Ghosts" were scum and villains who had committed serious crimes.

They should have been sentenced to death, but they were sent to the far north for the sake of waste utilization, as a precautionary measure against the annual "Winter Ghost" disaster.

Although in the entire Far North Army, the middle and high-ranking generals can be regarded as normal people, and there are some frustrated people who have only failed the struggle and have been exiled here, as well as volunteers who have come to defend voluntarily with noble feelings, but such people are a minority after all.

Like yesterday's scout team, none of them are good people, they are all repeat offenders with many crimes.

The reason why he didn't become a deserter was only because he was imprinted with an indelible spell, and once he fled the Far North, he would immediately die with a curse.

Therefore, even if they are reluctant, they can only honestly defend the far north and obey the orders to do some extremely dangerous sentinel work.

However, that doesn't mean they're going to be good.

Once they are given the opportunity, they expose their villain nature.

Of course, such a detail, Chu Tianxing couldn't say it easily.

After all, on the surface, he, like Xue Ziwei, is a newcomer to the noble land and a passer-by from another world without any source of intelligence, so he can only take Xue Ziwei and slowly reason according to the clues.

Chu Tianxing had no feelings about killing those scouts, and Xue Ziwei didn't care about their life and death - although she was a disciple of Buddhism, she had never avoided killing and killing the enemy in self-defense.

But not avoiding killing, not feeling guilty about killing the enemy in self-defense, does not mean that she can turn a blind eye to some disasters that may lead to the death of innocent people.

"Skywalk. ”

Xue Ziwei clasped her hands together and prayed:

"Let's go over and see!

"Although these scouts deserve to die, if because of their deaths, those 'ghosts' have hurt innocent...... I always have some regrets in my heart. ”

Chu Tianxing said lightly:

"I killed these scouts, what do you have to do with them?

Xue Ziwei said:

"Then you are so ruthless for me, and you don't have a single life left!

"If an innocent person dies because of this, karma will fall on you, then of course I won't want to go!"

Chu Tianxing smiled and shook his head:

"You said you were afraid of ghosts before, but now you're not afraid?"

Xue Ziwei is solemn:

"As a disciple of Buddhism, transcending the souls of the dead and helping them to liberate is what I should do. Do you turn away from it out of fear?"

With Chu Tianxing's nature, whether a person from the other world is dead or alive really has little to do with him.

But who called him a little hobby?

If you are in another world, if you don't let go of yourself, wouldn't it be in vain?

Besides, I've been around here, and I've been waiting for half a day and a whole night, and if there is rescue, it should have arrived.

But since there is no waiting for rescue now......

Then it is basically certain that the spatial passage that he and Xue Ziwei were sucked into yesterday was just a temporary passage created by some kind of space-time curiosity.

As soon as he entered, the makeshift passage collapsed.

So even if there is rescue, it will not appear directly at the place where he and Xue Ziwei came.

Well, there's no point in staying here any longer.

So Chu Tianxing raised his hand and touched Xue Ziwei's little bald head that he had long wanted to touch, well, it felt so good.

Finished smiling and waving:

"Let's go. ”

Xue Ziwei shrank her head and touched the brain that had been touched by his burning palm, and her face was a little red.

Seeing him striding forward in the direction where the group of "ghosts" went, obviously agreeing to her request, his heart suddenly blossomed:

"Tianxing, thank you. Also, that...... You really don't hate bald heads, do you?"

Chu Tianxing laughed:

"You can handle it! It's not ugly at all, it feels good, I really like it. ”

Xue Ziwei said:

"Then is it okay if I don't grow my hair?"

"Yes. ”

"That's great! I don't know what the hell this pulse exercise is, since I practiced, I don't have hair on my body...... If you want to raise your hair, you have to be unable to practice for at least half a year......"

"That electronic sound Rulai pulse exercise is really pure Buddhism exercises. ”

"Actually, it's good that you don't have hair on your body. Except for the fact that it's a little bad to have no hair, everything else is good! Why don't I show you tonight? It's beautiful!"

"Stay safe and don't drag racing. ”

"Hey, hey, hey......"

While talking, the two of them used their skills, stepping on the snow without a trace, running like the wind.

After more than 20 miles, everywhere I passed, there was a barren land covered with heavy snow.

Not only are there no people, but even the larger beasts in the mountains and forests cannot be seen.

The biggest creature the two of them saw was a gray rabbit foraging in the snow. Birds are also very rare, and only a few birds can be heard occasionally.

"There are so few animals not only because of the harsh climate. The aura of those 'ghosts' will also make the animals instinctively afraid and unconsciously stay away from this place. ”

As he was talking, there were figures in front of him, wading through the snow.

The two of them flew to the top of a hill, condescendingly, looking at the figures in groups of three or five, wading through the snow in the forest.

From a distance, those figures were not much different from ordinary people.

But if you look closely, you will find that those are not living people at all.

They were all "living dead" with thin torsos, tattered clothes, tattered armor, tattered weapons or simply bare hands, covered in a thin layer of frost, withered and even rotten faces, and blue pupils.

They are tireless, moving forward, and their movements seem to be slightly slower than those of living people.

But Chu Tianxing knew that this was just an illusion.

When Winter Oni spot their target and attack, they become as swift and ferocious as a cheetah.

And they're not mentally retarded without reason.

They can hunt like wolves and sneak up like big cats. Some powerful winter ghosts can also command lower-level winter ghosts. Powerful winter ghosts can also communicate with each other in a special "language" that humans cannot understand.

In short, this is a very dangerous monster.

They don't eat people.

But there is a bitter hatred for the living, and even for all living creatures, for unknown reasons.

They will kill any living thing they can get their hands on, and when they die, turn their corpses into one of them.

"These ghosts...... What do the living dead want to do? Why...... All the way around?"

"Maybe looking for a living person......"

As soon as they said this, a low, hoarse roar suddenly sounded on the hillside below the two.

When the two of them followed the prestige, they saw more than a dozen living dead, rushing towards the hill where they were, and the speed was not inferior to that of galloping horses.

"Standing too tall and being discovered. ”

Chu Tianxing frowned slightly:

"Let's do it quickly, or it will be a little troublesome to attract more living dead. ”

As he spoke, his figure flickered, like a flash movie, and flew towards the living dead.

Just two steps, there was a sound of breaking wind behind him, but it was Xue Ziwei who caught up.

Seeing Chu Tianxing looking back at himself, Xue Ziwei said with a serious face:

"Since I proposed to come and see, I can't hide behind your back anymore. ”

Chu Tianxing smiled:

"Okay, then let's subdue demons and subdue demons together, and surpass the souls of the dead. ”

As they spoke, the two of them met the oncoming living dead.

First, a living dead man raised his rusty war knife high and slashed it down according to Chu Tianxing.

The knife technique is not exquisite, but it is powerful and heavy, and it is very rigorous, and he is probably a not weak knife hand before his death.

However, in front of Chu Tianxing, this kind of living dead was almost no threat, and with a palm of his hand, the dragon had regrets and blasted out, and the dragon-shaped palm force blasted the living dead out, and his body was still in mid-air, and it was exploded into a fireball by the palm power attached to the high temperature and fire.

Even the lowest-level ordinary winter ghosts are difficult for ordinary soldiers to kill.

Because its Achilles' heel is only in the head, it cannot be stopped without crushing its head.

But for a quasi-grand master like Chu Tianxing, killing an ordinary winter ghost was no more difficult than killing an ordinary soldier.

However, Chu Tianxing was not very interested in killing this kind of walking corpse that had no blood or tears, and would not wail and beg for mercy.

Therefore, the shot was extremely crisp and neat, one palm at a time, and all the winter ghosts in front of him were smashed into pieces.

Xue Ziwei's efficiency is not inferior to him.

Although she doesn't avoid killing, she won't enjoy killing like Chu Tianxing. Transcending these living dead who cannot be liberated after death is naturally even more neat.

And the exercises of the electronic music Rulai lineage also really have a special restraint effect on this kind of evil.

Xue Ziwei didn't use the Descending Third Ming King Fist, but above her palms, a half-virtual and half-solid golden light appeared, and with a light palm, she could beat a winter ghost into ashes.

The winter ghost who died at the hands of Chu Tianxing was either ignited by the high temperature and burned to charcoal, or turned into fragments.

The winter ghost who died under Xue Ziwei's hands only had a small cloud of ashes left. Its playing style is undoubtedly more environmentally friendly than Chu Tianxing.

More than a dozen winter ghosts were quickly killed by the two.

After that, the two of them didn't stay long, avoiding the valleys and mountains with the largest number of winter ghosts, relying on light skills to walk the steep ridges, and then walked for another twenty or thirty miles, and gradually disappeared the traces of winter ghosts, obviously the winter ghost pioneer had not yet arrived.

After a while, a stone castle standing in a dangerous place with a river behind it appeared in the field of vision of the two.

[Ask for a ticket~!]
