Chapter 428: The Tide of Corpses in the Ghost Realm
Shang Lu saw a beam of golden and red light rising into the sky from a distance and turning into a bleeding eye.

This eye was particularly conspicuous, and even the evil miasma could not cover it. Not only did Shang Lu see it, but the county soldiers also saw it clearly.

“Officer Shang Wu, there is a situation over there.” The sergeant reminded urgently.

“I see.” Shang Lu responded with a frown, but he recognized the bleeding eye as the signal transformed from the mark of Thousand-Li Eyes and Wind-Hearing Ears, helping the wizard to call for help.

However, looking at the direction and distance of the distress signal, it was also outside the valley.

The enemies guarding the outskirts of the valley are not strong, so how could a wizard fall into danger?

Even the marks of Clairvoyance and Super Ear were activated, which showed that their situation was really bad and they were at risk of losing their lives at any time!
Before Shang Lu could think about it, a golden light emerged from his body.

The mark of clairvoyance and superb hearing cast on him was also activated at this moment.

But it was not helping him to warn, but instead, an eye with a bulging pupil condensed in front of him.

The direction in which the pupil of this eye bulges outward is exactly the position of the bleeding eye in the evil miasma fog.

The seniors from the Discipline Department had explained this before when they released the Clairvoyance and Superb Ears marks to them, so Shang Lu knew that what was happening to him at this moment meant that he was one of the people closest to the person calling for help, and he should rush to the rescue.

If you hesitate and delay the battle, resulting in friendly casualties, you will be sent to the Zhenshou Peak of the Discipline Department for interrogation and severe punishment.

Shang Lu no longer hesitated and made a decision immediately. He first went to the place where he was seeking help to see what was happening.

He called out to ten county soldiers, and following the guidance of the bulging-pupil strange eye, they rushed towards the bleeding strange eye in the evil miasma fog.

The terrain in the valley is complex and the roads are rugged.

In addition, the evil miasma obscured the vision, so even if people saw the bleeding monster eye floating in the air from afar, it would be difficult to rush over.

But with the guidance of the bulging-pupil monster eyes, the situation is different.

This strange eye with bulging pupils was transformed by the magical power of the god of clairvoyance and superb hearing. Even in the miasma and fog, it could point out the quickest path for Shang Lu.

Shang Lu led the county soldiers and quickly ran out of the mountain road for several miles. He raised his eyebrows suddenly, and felt that the evil miasma around him had obvious changes.

The evil spirit became even colder and more chaotic than before, and the miasma became even stronger! At the same time, Shang Lu also smelled a strange fishy smell coming from a distance, which made people’s blood surge.

At the same time, he also heard many sounds in the evil fog, like moaning and wailing, soft and noisy, making it difficult to hear clearly, but the pain and despair contained in them went straight to the soul and confused the mind.

“Something is not right here, be careful!” Shang Lu reminded the county soldiers following behind him.

But as soon as the words came out, my keen intuition began to warn me.

Shang Lu raised his eyebrows, and without turning around, he directly released his energy.

The essence of energy transformed into invisible arms, which instantly blocked all the attacks from behind that attempted to sneak attack him.

Shang Lu then turned around and saw that the county soldiers following behind him all had red eyes, numerous blue veins popped out on their foreheads, and their expressions were ferocious, and they kept roaring:

“Evil thief, take your life!”

“Kill the enemy and gain merit! Kill!”

“Kill him! Kill! Kill! Kill!”

The strength of these county soldiers could not be compared with Shang Lu. After arriving here, Shang Lu only felt that the evil miasma fog here was stronger and more chaotic than before, but the county soldiers were directly harmed and their minds were affected by the evil miasma fog.

Even so, it was because the county soldiers had been cursed by the wizard in advance, as well as the military witchcraft cast on them by Shang Lu.

Otherwise, not only will your sanity be affected, but you will directly turn into a monster.

Even so, Shang Lu also noticed that the blood vessels of many of the county soldiers were trembling strangely. Their muscles were also moving abnormally, as if something was forming in their bodies and trying to get out.

Shang Lu immediately realized that not only were these county soldiers’ spirits affected, but their bodies were also being polluted.

Only because of the barely supported witchcraft and sorcery, they were able to avoid any strange changes for the time being.

But if left alone, within a few moments, the county soldiers would either explode and die, or turn into monsters.

“Sanniang.”

Shang Lu shouted immediately.

Sanniang understood what he meant without him having to say anything.

Immediately, gusts of cold wind blew up, dispersing some of the evil miasma surrounding the area.

Shang Lu also quickly took out the thunder and fire poison-proof umbrella and opened it.

As the witch power was infused, witch patterns began to light up on the Thunder and Fire Poison-Proof Umbrella.

A flash of lightning shot out from the umbrella, not only blasting around, but also striking the ten county soldiers.

The county soldiers who were struck by lightning felt pain but were not injured. However, most of the evil and poisonous miasma that had penetrated into their bodies were instantly cleared away.

Seeing the bloodshot in the county soldiers’ eyes fade away and their eyes recover from the confusion, Shang Lu reminded them: “Activate the blood and protect the internal organs.”

His words were so eloquent that the county soldiers subconsciously followed his orders.

The county soldier, who had regained consciousness, was deeply frightened by his actions just now.

Under the influence of the evil spirit and poisonous miasma, they not only regarded Shang Lu as an enemy, but also an enemy who they hated so much that they had to kill him immediately.

Fortunately, Shang Lu did not blame them and rescued them in time.

Otherwise, even if Shang Lu didn’t kill them, even if they didn’t explode, they would go crazy and kill each other under the influence of the evil spirit and poisonous miasma.

At that moment, the county soldiers’ consciousness had been affected. They saw enemies everywhere around them, and the only thought in their minds was killing.

The county soldiers, who had recovered, hurriedly thanked Shang Lu.

Shang Lu waved his hand and said, “There’s something strange about this place. If you can’t hold on, turn back immediately and leave here. Don’t try to show off your abilities!”

The county soldiers looked at each other and decided to follow Shang Lu and continue forward.

But they also crossed their hands and accepted the order, remembering Shang Lu’s instructions and never trying to show off their abilities.

Although the county soldier had regained his sanity, Shang Lu did not put away the thunder and fire umbrella to avoid poison, but still held it up to fight against the evil spirits and poisonous miasma around him.

At the same time, Shang Lu released the wooden kites that had been improved by Senior Sister Gongshu, and asked them to conduct advance reconnaissance to avoid any other strange things hidden in the evil miasma fog.

The further you go, the stronger the feeling of chaos, evil and cold becomes.

The moans and wails coming from my ears became clearer.

Whether it’s evil spirit or groaning and wailing, they all have the effect of confusing people’s minds.

At the same time, Shang Lu and the county soldiers also felt that the deathly aura in the fog was becoming stronger and stronger.

Shang Lu was fine, but the ten county soldiers felt that their yang energy and vitality were suppressed by this dead energy. Even the blood in their veins felt like it was not flowing smoothly.

It was as if the place they were in was no longer the human world, but the underworld!

“Where have we been? Still outside the valley?”

Shang Lu looked solemn.

According to what Zhongli Dawu and others had said on the flying boat, there was indeed a place similar to a ghost town in the valley where the He thief was hiding.

The yin energy there is very strong and the evil spirit is very heavy. If ordinary people go in there, their yang fire will be extinguished easily and their lives will be taken away.

If a warrior below the Qi Refining Stage enters it, his blood and energy will be severely damaged and he will become seriously ill.

Even if it was a wizard, if his cultivation was not good enough, his vitality would be eroded and his cultivation would be polluted. This was only possible if he was a ghost wizard and had special witchcraft skills.

However, according to Zhongli Dawu and others, the ghost domain only appears around the wheat fields. It is a derivative product of the wheat fields and also a line of defense to protect the wheat fields.

But isn’t the rice field in the center of the valley? How did it appear here?

This place is quite far from the center of the valley.

Shang Lu was thinking when he suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the aura of the county soldiers behind him.

As soon as he turned around, he heard the captain gasp and say, “Officer Shang Wu, the brothers can’t hold on any longer.”

Shang Lu saw that the soldiers looked painful, veins popped out on their faces, and their temples kept throbbing. The situation was indeed not optimistic, so he immediately ordered: “Leave this place immediately.” He spread out his hands, and a paper bird flew out of his palm: “Follow this bird.”

Along the way, Shang Lu left behind divine powers as marks.

Even if there is some weird thing hidden in the evil fog, and the mark left by it is discovered, it will not be easy to clear the divine power.

Not only can he detect it immediately, he can also instantly transform the divine power from a mark into an attack!
The paper bird he released could follow the divine power and guide the county soldiers.

The county soldiers crossed their hands and accepted the order. Before leaving, they all said to Shang Lu: “Officer Shang Wu, take care on your journey!” “Be careful!”

Shang Lu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

In the current situation, it is really unlucky to say such things.

So he interrupted and waved him away: “Stop talking and go away.”

The paper bird flapped its wings and took the county soldiers out of this strange area.

At the same time, the wooden kite released by Shang Lu made a discovery several miles away.

Through Mu Yuan’s eyes, Shang Lu saw a large group of puppet corpses and rampant ghosts.

These puppet corpses and rampant ghosts were densely packed, countless, like a wave. They rushed towards a small hill one after another, one wave after another, and the attack continued.

Due to the influence of the evil miasma, visibility is extremely poor, even for the wooden kite.

At the same time, there seemed to be some strange energy hidden in the evil miasma, making it difficult for the wooden kite to fly high.

Shang Lu could only control the wooden kite, dodging left and right and moving quickly among the tide of corpses and ghosts.

Fortunately, the wooden kite had been improved by Senior Sister Gongshu, and its speed and agility had been greatly enhanced. In addition, Shang Lu controlled it properly, so even if it was discovered by the puppet corpse ghosts, it could quickly avoid their attacks and not be entangled by them.

Soon he was surrounded by layers of zombies and saw the situation on the top of the mountain.

The ones trapped here were actually Lu Yang and the county soldiers team he led.

At this moment, all the county soldiers led by Lu Yang were filled with evil spirits and contaminated by miasma, and fell into madness.

Their eyes were red, their expressions were ferocious, and they kept roaring like beasts.

A soft sword was like a long rope, tying up the ten county soldiers into a ball and binding their hands and feet, making it difficult for them to move.

If not for this, I am afraid that these county soldiers would not only attack Lu Yang, but also kill each other.

But this stopgap measure could not last long.

Shang Lu used the wooden kite to see that several of the county soldiers had already shown signs of strange changes. Their skin and flesh were cracked and strange buds had grown…

Lu Yang also noticed the strange behavior of the county soldiers, but he had no time to deal with it.

All his energy was used in driving the flying sword and releasing sword energy to repel the rampant ghosts and corpses that were attacking them continuously.

The rampant ghosts and corpse puppets here are also very different from those Shang Lu and his companions encountered before.

Stronger strength, more ferocious!
Moreover, even if they were cut in half by Lu Yang’s flying sword, they would not die.

Even the severed limbs and ghosts still maintained their powerful fighting power and continued to kill Lu Yang and others.

There were even chopped-up puppet corpses and rampant ghosts that merged and devoured each other, turning into even more bizarre and strange existences.

Not only has the strength not decreased, but its weirdness and strangeness has even improved.

Only by completely crushing and burning the rampant ghosts and puppet corpses can they be made to lose their fighting power.

This forced Lu Yang to expend more wizard power, so that every time the sword flew out, it would emit a violent sword energy, crushing the rampant ghosts, tearing apart the puppet corpses, and letting the sword energy turn into fire, burning the broken corpses and souls in one fell swoop.

In fact, at the beginning, Lu Yang thought about flying away from here with his sword and the county soldiers.

But in the evil miasma, even Lu Yang couldn’t fly high with his sword, let alone bring ten county soldiers with him.

And even if he flew with a sword, he still couldn’t avoid the attacks of the rampant ghosts and puppet corpses.

He can fly, and so can the demon.

As for the puppet corpse, although it cannot fly into the sky, it can break off its hands and feet and throw them into the sky like arrows and stones.

Not to mention, in addition to the densely packed corpses and rampant ghosts, there was also a thief hiding not far away, setting up formations and casting spells, making it impossible for him to escape.

At this time, Lu Yang had already released all the flying swords in the sword box.

Trying his best to resist the wave after wave of attacks from the rampant ghost puppets.

At the same time, they hoped that the distress signal sent by the mark of Clairvoyance and Superb Ears would work and attract reinforcements as soon as possible.

“Shh-“

A flash of sword light passed by, chopping into pieces several puppet corpses that had rushed forward. Then the sword light turned into fire, burning the corpse pieces instantly.

With the help of the firelight, Lu Yang saw Mu Yuan dodging left and right in the tide of corpses and ghosts. He was immediately overjoyed and shouted loudly: “I’m here!”

No matter whether the person coming is Gongshu Ling or Shang Lu, he will be a great help.

While being excited, Lu Yang did not forget to remind: “Kill the thief first!”

The puppet corpse is controlled by the He thief, and the rampant ghost is also released by the He thief with the soul flag, so the He thief is the key! As long as they are killed, there is no need to fear the puppet corpse and the rampant ghost no matter how weird they are.

The He thief who was hiding outside the tide of corpses and ghosts also heard Lu Yang’s shout.

They immediately looked around, trying to find reinforcements.

It was also at this moment that, under Shang Lu’s control, the three wooden kites suddenly began to emit wisps of witchcraft patterns on their abdomens.

Then one by one paper people flew out from the bird’s belly and pounced on the tide of corpses and ghosts.

The puppet corpses and the rampant ghosts did not take these paper figures seriously, because they were not afraid of such attacks. But soon, they saw the unusualness of these paper figures.

These paper figures can actually explode!
As soon as the paper figures touched them, strange light flashed and then exploded.

A large piece of thunder and fire wrapped in divine power burst out from the paper man. Any nearby rampant ghost puppet corpses that were touched by it immediately began to burn violently.

Not only that, after releasing the exploding paper men, two wooden kites flew to Lu Yang, spewing flames to help him resist the rampant ghost puppets.

Senior Sister Gongshu strengthened the magic formation on the wooden kites, making the flames they spewed out more powerful!

It is extremely powerful against evil things!
Meanwhile, another wooden kite took advantage of the chaos to fly out of the pile of corpses and ghosts, looking for the He thief outside.

However, Shang Lu has not yet found the whereabouts of the He thief with the wooden kite.

The thief hiding in the dark discovered it first.
