"And there is no earth spirit energy either."
In the short term, the flesh and blood body can only be used as a trump card and cannot be used easily.
"I still need to practice my magical ghost patterns." He glanced at the other people in the room.
"There are too many people and too many eyes." He instinctively began to miss his underground secret room.
"Let's wait a while until we have a better understanding of the situation in the camp." He has already put the excavation of the secret room on the agenda.
The sky quickly darkened.
In the gray fog above the camp, several balls of pale green flames kept moving, as if they were patrolling or guarding.
The curfew bell rang, and several people who had gone out returned to their rooms. Everyone sat or lay on the cold, hard beds and stopped making any sound.
There was no conversation all night and dawn came in a flash.
Before daybreak, a dull drumbeat woke everyone up.
Chen Mu and his companions walked out of the room in confusion, and saw the soul-calling flag shaking violently in the sky.
Ghost soldiers wearing armor and surrounded by black clouds kept rising into the air. After gathering into three huge black smoke torrents, they broke through the gray fog and flew towards the sky on the south side of the camp with the sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling.
"The Yin soldiers are going to war?"
Chen Mu's pupils couldn't help but shrink.
The momentum of the ghost soldiers was too fierce. He thought that if he was hit by the torrent, he would lose his life in an instant. Even if he used his real body and magic power to resist, he estimated that he could only survive for a few more breaths.
There are twelve such strong camps in Jigu City. How fierce must the enemy be to be worthy of the entire Jigu City to mobilize?
Chen Mu shuddered.
"We must learn the secret method as soon as possible and hide in the camp!"
……
More than ten days later.
To the northeast of Haiying, there was a ruined battlefield filled with unextinguished flames and billowing black smoke rising into the sky.
The smell of blood and burnt odor spread everywhere, and huge monkey corpses as tall as eight or nine stories were scattered in the middle of the battlefield.
These monkeys have red hair all over their bodies, four arms, and dark white bone spurs on their elbows, knees, and backs.
Even though he was dead, his blood-red hair was still twisting and bending strangely.
A faint sense of oppression permeated the air, and it was frightening at first sight.
Chen Mu took a deep breath and looked away.
Shi Dechun beside him was also in a state of shock and did not dare to look any further: "Fortunately we don't have to move it."
"I feel like if I can't get to those big monkeys, I'm doomed!"
"These little monkeys are still safe." Shi Dechun looked to the side, where lay the headless corpse of a monkey.
This ape is three meters tall, has four arms, red hair and a fierce appearance. It is called the Red-Eyed Water Ape.
But compared with their ancestors in the distance, they are definitely small and safe.
Chen Mu nodded slightly and said no more.
He reached into his bosom and pulled out a palm-sized flame-powered carriage.
The whole body of the cart was black, as if it were cast iron. On the top was a rectangular truck bed, with four wheels tightly attached on both sides.
Chen Mu injected the Yin spirit's power skillfully, and the black iron cart landed on the ground and suddenly turned into a black smoke cloud as big as half a basketball court.
Amid the rolling smoke, bright yellow flames could be vaguely seen inside.
"Get to work." Chen Mu called out.
Three-meter-tall red-eyed water apes were thrown into the clouds and soon piled up into a mountain.
As he thought about it, bright yellow flames rolled like wheels, and the cloud of flames slowly accelerated forward.
Chen Mu jumped up, sat on the top of the pile of corpses, and followed the team back to the northern camp.
Carrying the corpses back to the camp has been Chen Mu's job for more than ten days, and it is also his only way to earn military merit at present.
……
In the southwest corner of Haiziying, in front of a pond as big as a football field.
"Military Merit Twelve, next one..." A 2-meter-tall burly man with small eyes shouted lazily.
Behind him, groups of black clouds of flames lined up in rows, dumping the dead red-eyed water monkeys into the pool one by one.
While waiting, Shi Dechun approached Chen Mu with a worried look on his face: "I heard that someone robbed others of their water apes on the way in order to earn military merit."
Chen Mu frowned slightly: "The general flag doesn't care?"
"Our military achievements have nothing to do with theirs. As long as no one dies, they won't care." Shi Dechun frowned and shook his head.
Chen Mu's face was serious: "Do you know the other party's situation?"
"There are several waves, including Fei Yong from the second flag, Niu Chengzong from the third flag, and Hong Xiu from the fifth flag. These are the ones with real names." Shi Dechun said in a low voice while counting on his fingers.
"It is said that they are roaming around not far from the camp."
"If you encounter them, you have to share half of the water monkeys you brought back with them if you don't want to get beaten."
"You dare to rob near the camp?" Chen Mu's face was unpleasant: "You are so audacious, are there really no one to stop you?"
"We are just a group of auxiliary soldiers. As long as the assigned tasks are completed, no one will care who is doing it?" Shi Dechun sighed.
Then he turned his eyes and looked at Chen Mu carefully.
He always felt that the little bald guy in front of him was not simple. Wasn't it to deal with the danger in front of him that he had been moving closer to him before?
He looked expectant: "Brother Chen, what do you think we should do if we run into those people?"
Chen Mu frowned and thought deeply: "How about we convince them with reason and persuade them with kind words?"
Shi Dechun: “…”
God, what kind of advice is this?
Shi Dechun rolled his eyes.
They have already started to grab things, how can they listen to advice?
……
Two days later.
On the open plain.
A group of burly men in black were controlling clouds of black smoke as big as basketball courts, which were filled with hills of red-eyed water monkeys.
Dozens of people returned to the camp happily, talking and laughing.
"Brother, you are the one who dares to think and do it."
"We earn more from one ticket than from a day's hard work of moving things."
"If we work hard for another ten days or half a month, the secret medicine will be right in front of us!"
Everyone was talking loudly.
The leading man with thick eyebrows and a square face raised his lips slightly and was about to say something humble.
Unexpectedly, five clouds of black smoke suddenly rushed out from the ground and immediately plunged into the convoy. Wherever they passed, people and horses were thrown to the ground.
The sturdy man with thick eyebrows changed his expression, jumped down from the flaming chariot, waved his hand, and five paper figurines of soldiers in armor and holding swords immediately appeared, surrounding him and protecting him in an instant.
He then chanted a spell, and a large ball of black wind appeared out of thin air above his head.
The muscular man with thick eyebrows sneered: "How dare you use the Black Wind Curse in front of me? You don't know your own abilities!"
His innate magical power is related to the black wind, and the power of the black wind spell he casts is increased exponentially.
Ever since he mastered the skill, all the black winds would disperse in his presence with just one blow!
As soon as he thought of it, the huge black wind suddenly rushed towards the five balls of black smoke and collided with each other in the blink of an eye.
The corners of his mouth just curled up, and then immediately froze in place.
The five clouds of black smoke suddenly merged and spun around. The black wind he had cast actually went into the vortex of black smoke and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Before he could react, five balls of black smoke rushed towards him as if enraged, and suddenly spun around him.
The paper figurine of the terracotta warrior who was protecting him just swung his sword twice, and half of his body was instantly shattered, as if it was bitten and torn apart by an invisible big mouth.
The paper man that had just turned into a human form, in the blink of an eye, was left with only broken bamboo strips and paper floating in the air.
Then the black smoke hit the burly man with a loud bang, and with such a huge force, the burly man with thick eyebrows was knocked away without any resistance.
Before he could stand up, an invisible restraining force came over him and knocked him to the ground, making it difficult for him to even raise his head.
Then black smoke spread everywhere, and anyone who was still standing was soon knocked down!
The ground rippled and changed its appearance again, transforming into a tall, thin, middle-aged Chen Mu who slowly floated up to the ground. Looking at the red-eyed water apes scattered on the ground, he couldn't help but smile.
He is a good man, and he feels bad when he robs others. But if he robs others, he has no pressure at all.
Ever since he heard that no one in the camp cared about the fighting among the auxiliary soldiers, he began to have ideas.
Honestly carrying corpses to earn military merit is too slow. I heard that the Red-eyed Water Ape is just an ordinary monster, and the war is said to be more fierce in the future, and carrying corpses will become more and more dangerous. He wants to hide in the military camp as soon as possible, so he can only cause trouble for these strong brothers.
"Fifty percent of the things belong to me, no problem!" Chen Mu said expressionlessly.
"I admit defeat." The pale-faced, thick-browed sturdy man was pinned to the ground by Qi Jin Baili and surrendered neatly: "Brother, if you dare to tell me your name, let me know that I lost clearly."
"What, you still want revenge?" Chen Mu smiled coldly.
"Remember this, I am Fei Yong from the Jia Er Banner, don't go looking for the wrong person for revenge!"
The crowd that was originally wailing suddenly fell silent.
The sturdy man with thick eyebrows said helplessly: "I am Fei Yong from the Jia Er Banner!"
Chen Mu: “…”
Did you get the upper hand over the real owner?
This is so fucking embarrassing!
