"I don't know what happened last night." Feng Qianli's face was heavy.
"We were resting in the barracks as usual, and then we were awakened by a violent explosion. When we rushed out of the barracks, we saw flames all over the camp, and there were shouts and screams everywhere in the camp."
"Then we fled in panic. We were swept up in the crowd and ran north. Later, for some reason, we turned east and ran into other auxiliary soldiers."
"I thought it would be safer with more people, but I didn't expect that we would be chased continuously, and a large group of water monkeys would ambush and attack from the front. The team was immediately scattered."
"We could only choose a direction at random and escape on our own."
"Do you know which unit the auxiliary soldiers who joined you came from?" Chen Mu couldn't help but confirm.
"It was too far away, so we didn't have much contact, but I saw from afar someone driving the flame vehicle to transport supplies. It must be the Flame Vehicle Tribe." Feng Qianli said truthfully.
There's no way they can run away. Most of the auxiliary troops that escaped must be in this direction.
But...but this group of people was broken up!
Without these auxiliary soldiers, how can I return to the underworld?
Chen Mu's scalp suddenly felt numb.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 464 Gathering
Let Hong Xiu take Feng Qianli to settle the newly received Yin spirit, while Chen Mu takes Shen Yan out of Qiandeng City and starts tracking overnight.
With the Di Ting Fa, the dim light at night did not affect his investigation. Moreover, he and Shen Yan could hide in the breeze and easily avoid most of the dangerous monsters active in the night.
After a busy night, he gathered four scattered groups of evil spirits one after another.
When the bloody sun rose in the east, Chen Mu still couldn't find any trace of the large army.
In Qiandeng City, he couldn't be happy at all as he saw the increasing number of human-shaped spiritual fields.
"It's not like there are no evil soldiers in the auxiliary barracks. They can at least resist one or two of them. How can such a large group of people just disperse?" Chen Mu scratched his head.
Shen Yan looked at the ghosts that were gathered yesterday, frowning: "Five teams were gathered last night. Not to mention the Cai Yuan team, the two Yan Xing teams, the leaders were not ghost soldiers."
"It would be fine if the ghost soldiers ran away on their own, but I'm afraid they were deliberately withdrawn by someone with ulterior motives!" His face was solemn.
"Intentionally taking away all the powerful Yin soldiers?" Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Gather the elite troops, and then use a large number of ordinary auxiliary soldiers as bait to attract the water ape?"
Can't you?
Such a dog?
Chen Mu suddenly remembered that the team split up soon after they escaped from the camp, and a small group of people ran to the southeast alone. Could that be the Yin army led by the generals of the auxiliary troops?
They are clearly powerful Mingxin Yin soldiers, and their commander-in-chief is even a Yin spirit in the Divine Embryo realm.
Do this kind of thing?
So cowardly!
……
three days later.
Thousand Lights City, in the small courtyard.
Bai Qing was a tall and strong man with dark complexion. His upper body was wrapped in bandages with faint traces of blood. He sat respectfully at the round table with his back straight.
"Military Supervisor, there was indeed a military order to summon me, but I didn't go." Bai Qing shook his head, and then said sarcastically: "I can't pee in the same pot with those old soldiers from the city defense camp."
"These bastards are indeed deserters!" Shen Yan's face turned pale.
In the past few days, they have been tracking and collecting a lot of Yin soldiers from the three divisions of Yan, Xing, Gong, Zao and Cai Yuan, but there is no general flag of the Yin soldiers leading them. It was not until today that they met the general flag of Bai Qingbai who was besieged by three water apes in a small valley.
"Why can't I see the ghost from the Medicine and Stone Department?" Chen Mu asked curiously.
In the past two days, the most people who gathered the defeated soldiers were the Yinling of the Caiyuan Division, followed by the Gongzao and Yanxing Divisions. The Yinfeng Division flew away on the clouds, so it was normal that we didn't encounter them. But the people of the Yaoshi Division didn't encounter them either.
"He should have been taken away by the Yinfeng tribe. We didn't run into him." Bai Qing looked unhappy.
"Hu Cheng is a coward. He only dares to lead the Medicine Stone Tribe with a small number of people. He is afraid that too many people will slow down their speed and they will be tracked by the water ape." Shen Yan snorted coldly.
Chen Mu sat at the stone table with a grin on his face.
The Gongzao Yanxing divisions were defeated, but the Yinfeng Yaoshi divisions were still there, but they could fly and had disappeared long ago.
How long can we expect these bastards to return to the underworld?
……
Five days later, in Qiandeng City, in a small courtyard.
Chen Mu sat at the round table, carefully placed the hot grilled meat on a piece of dark green leaf, sprinkled some spicy seasoning on it, and swallowed it in one gulp.
"Aren't you anxious at all?" Shen Yan looked at Chen Mu in surprise.
After five days of searching, they only encountered small groups of ghosts, and as time went by, they could find fewer and fewer ghosts. Whether they were dead or had escaped far away, the more than 100,000 auxiliary soldiers of the three divisions of Cai Yuan Gong Zao Yan Xing were probably gone.
"There's no use in being anxious." Chen Mu shrugged and slowly stuffed a piece of barbecue into his mouth.
He had never had a peaceful day since he started practicing. Facing this kind of uncertain situation, he was more experienced than the three-hundred-year-old ghost in front of him.
Now he has Qiandeng City to hide in and has no worries about food and drink. It is just a little difficult to return to the underworld, but it is not dangerous at all.
Small scene!
"Besides, you are still here." Chen Mu glanced at Shen Yan and laughed.
He was shocked by the collapse of such a large camp and was influenced by Shen Yan, so he ran around all day to collect evil spirits.
He had some free time during these two days and gradually came to his senses.
Following the main group might save time and effort in returning to the underworld, but if we really can't find those people...
As long as they tied up the knowledgeable Shen Jianjun by their side, they would always find a way to return to the underworld. The only thing left was a matter of time and difficulty.
Thinking of this, Chen Mu felt more relaxed.
……
After meal.
Chen Mu prepared a cup of Huiyuan Soup for himself and a cup of... Yulu Water for Shen Yan.
There is not much deer antler and black sheep meat stored, so I dare not eat it carelessly.
"With these three thousand evil spirits, combined with your Yumen Curse, can you summon back the gates of hell from a distance?" Chen Mu glanced at Shen Yan, raised his chin and asked towards the crowd of evil spirits in the distance of the courtyard.
"They are not ghost soldiers. Most of them are new ghosts from the Caiyuan Department." Shen Yan shook his head: "Besides, I don't know where the Ghost Gate was taken by Lan Zhang. If it is too far away, or if it is imprisoned..."
It seems that it is still useless.
Chen Mu took a sip of Huiyuan Soup.
"The Yinfeng Tribe must continue to search, and the Yin spirits must also continue to search."
"But... it's not good to run around like a headless fly."
Shen Yan frowned slightly: "Do you want to stop?"
"The Yinfeng Medicine Stone is hard to find, and the Gongzao Yanxing is scattered. If we want to return to the underworld, we can only rely on ourselves."
"The more evil spirits we gather, the easier it will be to call back the Ghost Gate. How can we stop?!"
Chen Muhun waved his hand without caring: "The surviving ghosts have either hidden themselves or run away. I still have to practice martial arts, so I don't have the energy to track them down."
As he said this, he raised his chin towards the ghost outside the courtyard and said, "We have so many auxiliary soldiers. It would be a waste if we don't use them."
Compared to running around, he prefers to stay at home in Qiandeng City.
Searching the mountains for someone?
Then we still have to let these auxiliary troops take action.
In fact, it would be best if Shen Yan could take the lead, but unfortunately there is no way to implant the devil's spirit seed in this old ghost, so he can only keep him by his side all the time, which is a waste of a great master.
……
The next morning.
Countless soul-guiding lanterns were lit one by one, and the Thousand Lanterns City was now worthy of the name Thousand Lanterns.
A group of ghosts skillfully came to sit not far from the courtyard and began to chant the Three Paths Curse at the same time. A huge and secret energy immediately filled Thousand Lights City.
Chen Mu was lying in a rocking chair, the Peaceful Heart Sutra flowing through his body. His Yin Spiritual Power was vibrating and changing qualitatively, like a net, probing into the source of the Wangchuan River.
Wisps of weak water aura were intercepted and taken out, then flowed into the secret acupoint between the eyebrows and disappeared.
In the distance, general flag officers such as Bai Qing, Hong Xiu, and Feng Qianli also hurriedly organized their men to collect jade dew to store food for their three thousand Yin spirits for one day.
Qiandeng City was suddenly filled with various curses.
With the sound of dripping from the bamboo tube, the morning passed in a flash.
hum!
The air vibrated slightly, and a dazzling white light suddenly shone from the small courtyard, then slowly disappeared after a moment.
The numerous evil spirits were not surprised at this, so they collected their spells and, under the leadership of their respective chief flags, moved away from the courtyard.
"It's improved a little bit." Chen Mu looked at the prototype of the divine fetus with satisfaction. It was still bumpy, but the hollow gaps were indeed a little smaller.
Immediately afterwards, densely packed needle-sized demonic spirit seeds flew out from it.
"Giving birth again?" Chen Mu was quite speechless: "This Cloud Mirage Sky Demon, wouldn't it be that all its abilities are focused on giving birth?"
Because spirit seeds are fragile and extremely difficult to achieve symbiosis, and the clumsy ability to confuse gods doesn't work, so just create as many as possible, then cast a wide net and try your luck, taking it as one as you can get?
Tsk! This kind of weak, helpless, and struggling temperament is a bit silly.
Fortunately, I have the Yama Emperor's Order, which can make the Yin spirits obey unconditionally and swallow voluntarily, otherwise...
Humph! Crappy demon!
……
In the afternoon.
After implanting the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed into the last Yin Spirit, Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, except for Shen Yan, all the ghosts in Qiandeng City have become their own people, eliminating the possibility of gathering together to cause trouble. However, the transmission of the Three Paths Curse is still a big project.
