"It's Flying Zombie, be careful!"
Iron Buddha Sect Yun Tong roared.
Needless to say, others were also alert.
Zombies are a major category of evil creatures.
There are many types of them and their causes are also different.
Some divisions are Blood Corpse, Yin Corpse, Flesh Corpse, Skin Corpse, Jade Corpse, Walking Corpse, Reanimated Corpse, Sweat Corpse...
Some are divided into Spirit Corpse, Gold Corpse, Silver Corpse, Purple Zombie, White Zombie, Green Zombie, Imperishable Bone, Flying Zombie...
Flying Zombie is undoubtedly the most terrifying one among them.
Some people say that this thing is a zombie transformed into a demon, which can kill immortals and swallow gods, walk like the wind, fly thousands of miles, and attract people within a hundred steps Essence Blood.
Some people also say that this thing can already be called Drought Demon.
There are many legends, but few have actually been seen.
Even these Demon Hunter are no exception.
"Quick, form back-to-back formations!"
Yu Qing was the most experienced and immediately gave the order loudly.
The other Demon Hunter understood the idea and immediately shrank inwards, holding crossbows and spears, leaning back, watching for movement in all directions.
"Round Formation!"
Centurion Liu also shouted loudly.
Although the soldiers in the guard station were all ordinary people, they were more well-trained. They immediately gathered together in a circle, with their spears and halberds like a forest, and their muskets pointed at the outside.
This is Round Formation in army combat.
<Sun Bin Art of War·Ten Formations> There is a saying, "There are ten formations: there are square formations, there are Round Formation...Round Formation ones, so 𣏢."
"𣏢(zhuan)" means "under the guise of forming a group", indicating that Round Formation is mainly a defensive formation, used to resist enemy attacks.
This formation is usually used to get into dangerous situations.
Standing back to back with their comrades and armed with muskets finally gave the soldiers a sense of security.
"Rooster Daoist, is there anything you can do?"
In the crowd, Yu Qing asked in a low voice.
The so-called well-informed, he is the most knowledgeable among Demon Hunter, but he is more aware of the power of Wang Dao Xuan, but he is not as shameless as Chen San Bang and others.
Wang Dao Xuan looked around and said in a deep voice, "This Flying Zombie is extremely fast. It was not discovered by us just now, which shows that it is good at hiding its aura."
"There are too many trees here, find an open space quickly!"
Yu Qing After hearing this, he frowned slightly and looked towards the entrance of the village.
As the sun sets, in a short period of time, the fog has risen there, making it difficult to see, indicating that the Entrap Dragon Formation evil has been fully activated.
If you use Restriction Breaking Step again, it will be difficult to escape.
"Let's go, form a formation and enter the village!"
He immediately gave the order without hesitation.
Centurion Liu, who was on the opposite side, also looked at Yun Tong, saw his nod, and ordered the soldiers to form formations and move towards the village.
Suddenly, the two soldiers stopped.
"Ho ho..."
Their faces were full of fear, and they made strange phlegm sounds from their mouths.
The people next to me turned their heads and looked terrified.
I saw these two people trembling all over, their eyes rapidly becoming bloodshot, their mouths open, and fine drops of blood oozing out from the tips of their tongues and from their eyes and nose.
There was a Yin Wind explosion all around, and these blood beads were also drawn away by a force and floated towards the depths of darkness.
"Over there, fire!"
Centurion Liu shouted angrily and immediately gave the order.
Boom boom boom!
Suddenly, the roar of muskets continued.
There is no comparison between them and the Shu King Residence Musketeers.
The musket is just the most common Archaic Firearm. These things were all eliminated by Daxuan Divine Mechanism Camp many years ago.
As new muskets became available, they were distributed to the garrison in various places.
The second thing is that there is no structure, just shooting randomly.
But even so, the dense muskets are quite powerful.
"Ho-!"
In the dense forest, an inhuman roar sounded.
Then, the sound of swaying branches faded away.
Thump thump! The two soldiers also fell to the ground, their faces pale, bleeding from their orifices, and no longer breathing.
"Go, go quickly!"
Centurion Liu looked at it with tears in his eyes and quickly ordered.
It's not like he hasn't seen zombies before. Weird things have happened on the battlefield.
But such a vicious one is simply unheard of.
Ignoring the two corpses on the ground, everyone continued to set off. Fortunately, after Flying Zombie was frightened away, they did not continue the sneak attack.
The journey was uneventful and we finally entered the village.
This village is built against a mountain, with many earthen slopes and stone steps. The houses, large and small, are all abandoned. It looks chaotic, but it seems to have some order.
They came to an open platform halfway up the mountainside of the village.
The terrain here is open and there are no obstacles around. The nearest house is also a hundred meters away. The ground is covered with bluestones. I don't know what means were used, and the grass is very sparse.
Everyone set up their positions and defended carefully.
At this distance, even the Flying Zombie sneak attack can be seen.
"Okay, let's wait here at the threshing floor until dawn!"
Centurion Liu looked around and ordered in a deep voice.
He already felt a little regretful at this moment.
What I regret is not coming here. Soldiers eat royal rations to earn military merit. They have no background and background, and they have to fight with swords and guns wherever they go.
What he regretted was that he was too anxious, fearing that the troublemaking monsters would escape, so he entered the village in the evening, but he did not expect to encounter these.
"My lord, this is not a threshing floor."
A small flag next to him raised his hand and said, "This is Discussion Ground."
"The little man comes from the Qiang Village. There is this 'Discussion Ground' in every village. Whenever there is a big event, the 'Village Chief' and the 'village elder' will call the adult men of each household to participate. Everyone can speak. In Qiang language, it is called 'Ermu Ziba'."
"Well, concentrate."
Centurion Liu frowned, obviously not caring.
He was so busy at the moment that he couldn't care about folk customs.
But Wang Dao Xuan in the rear heard it and was thoughtful.
This place is not suitable for building a village in the first place. There is no land for farming, let alone a threshing floor.
But if it can last for a long time, it must be supported by external materials.
Thinking of this, Wang Dao Xuan whispered to Yu Qing next to him.
Yu Qing nodded, came to the side of Centurion Liu, cupped his hands and said, "Lord Liu, Rooster Daoist wants to talk to this military master."
Centurion Liu frowned slightly, but didn't stop him.
Although he doesn't understand magic, he knows how to look.
He could also see just now that these Demon Hunter were very respectful to that Daoist and were willing to listen to his ideas.
After the little flag was brought over, Wang Dao Xuan smiled and asked, "I heard from this military master that this is a Qiang village?"
"Don't dare, I'm Wa Saji."
The small flag was quickly handed over.
Wa Saji is a common name among the Qiang people, which means a boy born in the Year of the Monkey.
Wang Dao Xuan nodded slightly and continued to ask, "Have you ever seen the customs of this place in your Qiang village?"
Xiaoqi looked around, shook his head and said, "We Qiang people have 'Spirit Medium', which in Chinese is Spirit Medium. It is said that you must be born toward the sun and live in a place where the sun shines, and White Stone God will bless you."
"Oh?"
Wang Dao Xuan asked quickly, "Can you tell me about this White Stone God?"
The little flag nodded and said, "'Spirit Medium' often tells us a story about Qiang-Ge War."
"We Qiang people are also descendants of Yan and Huang, descendants of King Da Yu. After the Shang Dynasty destroyed Xia, we were forced to move south. We fought with 'Geji People' here. Following God's instructions, we defeated 'Geji People' with a white stone. Since then, the white stone has been a sacred object."
"In every Qiang village, every household is Attendant White Stone God. We have a saying that, 'The foundation of a stone building is stable, and three white stones stand on it.' As long as there is White Stone God to protect you, you will not be disturbed by evil spirits."
"That's it..."
Wang Dao Xuan After hearing this, he felt even more confused.
He originally thought this was some kind of secret arrangement by the Dragon Worship Sect, but now it seems that it isn't.
An abandoned Qiang village was deliberately built here Yin Fiend Land, Dragon Worship Sect What are you doing here?
Wang Dao Xuan His heart moved, he looked into the distance and said in a deep voice, "On the way here, did you see the house Attendant Baishi?"
"That's what I'm going to say next."
Xiao Qi said solemnly, "This village is made of stone houses. It is indeed an ancient Qiang village, but there is no Attendant White Stone God. It is definitely weird that it is still built in this place."
"You don't have to say that."
Demon Hunter, a man next to him, listened in rapt attention and said speechlessly, "This is such a sinister place. Only ghosts would live here."
"It's just a ghost!"
The little flag swallowed, "I suspect that this is the legendary Ghost Qiang in the 'Spirit Medium' story."
"During the Qiang-Ge war, there was a kind of Geji People that was very scary. They were short and strong, with protruding eyes and long tails. Like monsters, they could use magic and turn into monsters after death."
"Some of the 'Spirit Medium' among the Qiang people united together and no longer were 'Attendant White Stone God', but turned into ghosts to suppress these 'Geji People' innocent souls."
"I have been to many Qiang villages and heard the story of 'Ghost Qiang', but no one knows where it is."
These words made Wang Dao Xuan even more confused.
The Qiang people are also an ancient tribe.
As Xiao Qi said, he is also a descendant of Yan and Huang, related to Da Yu, and attached to Xia. He was later attacked by Shang, and cooperated with Zhou to destroy Shang in the battle of Jian Shang.
Those ancient tribal grievances have become nothing but legends.
According to what this little flag said, Qiang-Ge War should have happened in the Shang Dynasty. It is estimated that an unknown number of years have passed since the Ghost Qiang family arranged it like this.
Why is it related to the Dragon Worship Sect again?
Bang!
At this moment, a roar suddenly sounded from the north of the village.
This shot immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Yu Qing quickly raised his head and said solemnly, "Chen San Bang They don't have guns, there are others here!"
"It must be the monster behind it!"
Centurion Liu's eyes also lit up, he walked over and gritted his teeth and said, "This is not the sound of an ordinary gun, it is a new type of musket!"
When he said this, his heart pounded.
The demon released zombies to cause trouble, and New Style Firearm...
This is a big fish caught!
When Yu Qing heard this, he frowned and shook his head. "They probably encountered Flying Zombie. That thing is a threat. We'd better not move around."
Centurion Liu When he heard it, he felt a little unwilling.
Everyone can see the horror of Flying Zombie just now.
He knew that without the help of these Demon Hunter, going to arrest people rashly would only lead to danger.
Maybe if the person is not caught, many lives will be lost.
But soon, he smiled.
Boom! Boom!
Only two more gunshots were heard in the distance.
And the distance is getting closer.
"Quick, set up an ambush and prepare!"
Centurion Liu quickly ordered.
Both the soldiers and Demon Hunters should disperse and hide immediately.
The power of New Style Firearm is now well known to everyone.
No one dares to fight head-on, so it's best to set up an ambush.
Sure enough, not long after, dense and messy footsteps could be heard in the distance, there were flashes of fire, and screams continued.
Soon, these people appeared on the opposite side.
There are more than thirty people in total, and they are very mixed.
There were monks and Daoists, people with sinister faces, and even seven or eight hunters dressed as villagers.
Chen San Bang and several Demon Hunter who were trapped here were also in the team, but their weapons were taken away and their hands were tied with hemp ropes.
These people did meet Flying Zombie.
In the flickering light of the fire, Wang Dao Xuan and others finally saw clearly.
That Flying Zombie was not tall, with disheveled hair, dark skin, and rotten clothes, turned into messy strips of cloth, mixed with mud, and his appearance was completely indistinguishable.
This evil thing moved at an alarming speed, its body was stiff, and it was emitting billowing black smoke as it flashed back and forth on the ruined walls.
Every time it passes through the sky, someone will be picked up and torn to pieces.
Among these people, there were also warlocks who were holding Divine Firearm, but they couldn't catch any trace of Flying Zombie, so they could only fire randomly.
"There's an ambush ahead!"
One of the Daoists suddenly shouted.
Obviously, he has discovered everyone through Divine Ability.
Without escape techniques and formations, and with so many guardsmen, it was impossible to hide it from the warlock with Divine Ability.
One of the men with a scarred face immediately put a knife to Chen San Bang's throat and shouted, "Listen up front, if anyone dares to move, I will kill this kid immediately."
They were being chased by Flying Zombie and had no way to go. Even if there was an ambush, they could only run quickly and reach Discussion Ground.
This place is open and more suitable for defense.
These people also formed formations back to back.
Among them was a lama who held a Vajra Pestle and suddenly stuck it on the ground. Then he sat cross-legged, made a mudra with his hands, and kept chanting in his mouth.
The sound of chanting was extremely deep and echoed in the night sky.
"Tongue Mystical Power!"
Wang Dao Xuan immediately became vigilant after seeing it.
Tongue Mystical Power has cultivated to a high level and can have a blessing effect on mantras. This lama should also be of the third level of Daoism.
And Iron Buddha Temple's Yun Tong's eyes instantly became sharp.
"It's Demon Monk Duoji!"
Centurion Liu quickly asked, "Who is this person?"
Yun Tong said in a deep voice, "He is a Tibetan Buddhism flower sect monk. He was born in Sakya Monastery. He came to Shu to cause trouble because he violated Precepts's apostasy. He has been wanted by the Enforcement Hall."
"A while ago, the Southwest Evil Sect caused trouble in Dujiangyan, and this person was also involved. No wonder there was no news later, and he came here to cause trouble!"
Centurion Liu seemed to understand these words, but he understood one thing. The big fish caught this time could eat them accidentally.
The monk Dorje chanted a mantra loudly, and although no one could understand the language, Flying Zombie was affected and roared as well, seeming to be in some pain.
Boom! Boom!
Two people in the team immediately opened fire.
The new musket was extremely powerful, and only a roar was heard. Flying Zombie couldn't dodge, and his right arm exploded and scattered.
"Ho--!"
With a shrill roar, Flying Zombie quickly disappeared into the darkness.
"Shoot!"
As soon as Flying Zombie left, Centurion Liu immediately gave the order.
The surrounding soldiers were already ready and started firing.
Bang bang bang!
For a moment, fire exploded.
Chen San Bang and his brothers were quite clever. When they heard the shot was fired, they immediately fell to the ground.
But these people did not expect that even though they had captured hostages, the soldiers at the Imperial Guard still did not hesitate to shoot.
Immediately, seven or eight people were shot and fell to the ground.
"Om Banjarsa Bang!"
The monk suddenly roared loudly.
The soldiers who were shooting around suddenly felt their ears roaring, their vision blurred, and their hearts tightened.
Those people took advantage of the situation and fled, jumping off Discussion Ground one after another and landing on the still intact Stone Blockhouse below.
At this moment, the cloth bag behind one of them was shot by a crossbow arrow released by Demon Hunter.
BANG DANG DANG!
An object fell down.
It was a strange gold mask, quite old, with two eyes that protruded outward.
If Li Yan is here, you will find that this object is very similar to Sanxingdui Golden Mask...
