Chapter 28 Heavy Casualties

With the war puppets clearing the way, everyone's journey was obviously much easier.

As we continue to go deeper, various ghosts appear one after another along the way, and more and more corpses begin to appear on the road.

Because Sun Shuming and the Yao Clan were leading the way, and there were war puppets blocking the way, Tang Jie and others were under much less pressure. Even so, Tang Jie still noticed something was wrong.

There are too many ghosts!

boom!

After blasting a rushing Xuanyin ghost horse with one punch, Tang Jie turned around and asked, "How far can we get to the place?"

Shen Tuyuan replied: "I don't know, I just know that you can get there by walking along the river. Damn it, when I heard them talk about this place, they didn't say there were so many ghosts here."

"Really?" Tang Jie whispered, raised his arm, and casually blasted a skeleton ghost rushing from the side, his eyes fixed on the ground not far away. The corpse of a demon general was lying quietly there. All the blood in its body had been sucked dry, and its death state was horrific. Looking at the corpse, Tang Jie said: "Did the person who told you about this matter mention the casualties?"

Shen Tuyuan shook his head and replied: "There are casualties, but not many."

"That's not right." Night Owl pointed to the corpse in the distance and said: "Those monsters are still behind humans, but now more than twenty people have died. This is not like the casualties that ordinary dangers can cause! "

Even Night Owl saw something was wrong here. Along the way, the dangers everyone encountered were obviously much greater than before. If it weren't for the mica warriors, whether everyone could still stand here easily is a question.

Tang Jie said solemnly: "There can only be two explanations for this matter. Either there was something wrong with the information Shentu got at the beginning. The exploration of Yunmoyuan was inherently dangerous. Or there was nothing wrong with the information, but this time something happened What changes caused the number of ghosts to increase suddenly, and the danger also doubled."

Everyone nodded together and agreed with Tang Jie's analysis. Ximen Changfeng said: "Which one does Brother Tang think is more likely?"

After thinking about it, Tang Jie replied: "As far as Shentu knows, black epiphyllum has been collected in Fengshan for thousands of years. If the danger is really so great, we shouldn't insist on it so much. And honestly, tell Shentu about this matter." There is no need for people to lie. If you want to use this to harm him, this method is too clumsy and less efficient. So I personally prefer the latter... There should be some strange change here. , leading to the current situation.”

"What change?" everyone asked together.

Tang Jie didn't answer either.

He just said: "Don't you think something is missing along the way?"

What's missing?

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Tang Jie was referring to.

Yiyi Bingxue was still smart and shouted loudly: "There are missing human corpses!"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Tuyuan and others' hearts lit up at the same time.

yes!

Why do I see monster corpses all the way along, but no human corpses?

Human beings are weaker than the monsters, and they are at the forefront, so they should be hit the hardest, and there should be more corpses left behind. But why haven't we seen a human die until now? This is really abnormal.

Binghuang blurted out: "Could it be Sun Shuming and the others who did this!"

Sun Shuming once came to Yunmoyuan to collect treasures for the royal family. Now that he is here again, it is unreasonable to be willing to move forward and open a way for the enemy regardless of the enemy's numbers. But if everything that happens now is related to him, then all the unreasonable things will suddenly become reasonable - Sun Shuming is using Yun Moyuan in a planned way to weaken the power of the demon clan.

No wonder he dared to drive in so boldly. In fact, he had a plan in mind.

Tang Jie let out a long breath and said: "It's not yet certain that all this is related to them, but they are indeed the most suspicious."

"Then what do we do?"

"Us?" Tang Jie smiled, shrugged and replied: "Of course we will continue to follow. As long as the demon clan is still holding up the front, the sky will not fall."

———————————

"This is wrong!" A violent roar sounded from the side of the dark river.

It's that big stupid bear.

Even as stupid as a bear demon, they are aware of the problem. Why are they following humans attacked by massive ghosts, but those humans don't even leave a single body behind?

At this moment, there are still a large number of ghosts emerging from the river beside them. Fog ghosts, rotting corpses, skeleton ghosts, dark horses, ghost generals, all kinds of ghosts swarmed in continuously. The water of the Blackwater River gurgled like it was boiling, boiling out one after another cold and dark figures.

The number far exceeded Tang Jie and the others. In fact, what Tang Jie and the others encountered were just some remaining ghosts after the battle between the demon clan and the ghosts. On the official battlefield of the demon tribe, the battle between demons and ghosts is unfolding with great momentum. Strong winds and flames dominate the battlefield, and waves of magic flames are everywhere.

In the most intense place of the battle, the violent arrogance burned everything around it. It was so powerful and the scene was so terrifying that even a strong man like Tang Jie would not dare to enter.

"Damn humans, they must have done it!" The Ghost Faced King also gritted his teeth. He is currently fighting side by side with King White Eyebrow and Queen Xiao Tao, but there is only one enemy. It was a ghost with black aura lingering all over its body, wearing black armor full of barbs, and a cloak behind it. It also wore a bone crown on its head, and rode a Xuanyin horse on its crotch. Ghost horse. The Xuanyin ghost horse is also much taller than ordinary ghost horses. It has horns on its head and feet on the underworld. Wherever it goes, there are endless yellow water waves flowing. Any demon or person who touches it will be strongly corroded.

With three against one, Ghost Faced King and the others couldn't take any advantage.

The ghost king kept swinging the white bone sword in his hand, and there was a little bit of phosphorus fire on the sword. Every time he waved, a large amount of phosphorus fire would be scattered out. As long as these phosphorus fires are contaminated even a little bit, even with the strength of the demon king, large chunks of flesh and blood will be corroded.

"It's useless to say this now, it's better to think of a way to rush over first!" said the Huali Demon King.

All ghosts have their own way, and it is not easy to break through. But if you don't rush over, you can't stop Sun Shuming, let alone get the Black Epiphyllum.

"Let me do it!" The one-horned rhinoceros demon king strode over and leaned down, turning into a huge rhinoceros more than four feet tall, with a long horn facing forward and mouthing a human voice. : "Everyone follow me!"

As he spoke, he lowered his head and rushed forward.

The power of this charge is extraordinary. The big rhinoceros charges forward at high speed with an indomitable attitude. Wherever it goes, no matter how many ghosts are blocking it, they all disappear in one rush, instantly rushing into the endless sea of ​​corpses. Make a way. However, the big rhinoceros was not in good shape either. During the wild dash, its soul was severely damaged by the attacks of those ghosts and ghosts. Even with his soul-transformation level cultivation, he felt like he had a headache and was about to die. He wailed and fell to his knees. land.

"Hurry!" I don't know who shouted.

All the demons have followed the bloody path that the big rhinoceros has broken out to kill. Ghosts came from all directions, and in just a moment, several screams were heard from the demon group. It was because several demon generals failed to block them and were poisoned by the ghosts.

"Death!" Accompanied by a wild cry, a red bloody paw print suddenly appeared on the ghost's head. He snapped it in the air and killed countless ghosts with just one claw.

At the same time, the ghost-faced king also activated his real fire, and his ugly face like a demon suddenly twisted. When he opened his mouth, a blue light spurted out from his mouth. When he sprayed it towards the ghost king, the ghost king suddenly let out an earth-shattering howl. Yelling, the figure that was so powerful just now shrank in an instant, and died just like that. A red bead as bright as blood fell down, which was Gui Yuan. The Ghost Faced King who spit out this blue light was also exhausted, and his face turned pale. At this moment, when he saw the ghost element appearing, he grabbed it with his hand and said with a smile: "Finally, it was not in vain."

All the demon kings showed off their skills one after another and finally killed the ghosts, but they also consumed a lot of energy. The demon generals lost more than twenty more, and even the major demon kings were forced to resort to desperate measures, and their strength was greatly reduced.

The treasure suffered such a setback without even seeing it, which made the demon kings feel very angry. They all made up their minds that when they caught up with Sun Shuming, they would peel off his skin and cramp his bones, crushing his bones and scattering his ashes.

With this idea in mind, the demon kings ran wildly, and finally broke through the obstacles of countless ghosts, and their eyes suddenly became bright.

The dense mist disappeared without a trace, and the demons saw a large black river rolling down from the sky above.

It just appeared directly from the void, rolling down, and flowing towards the front endlessly. Through the mottled space in the void, one could vaguely see the endless whistling and wailing sounds behind him, as if there were thousands of ghosts wailing.

Suddenly, there was a flash of light and shadow in the sky, and a ghost general fell out of the void. It screamed, fluttered in the river, and rushed downwards along the river, rushing to the place where the monsters came before.

Sure enough, these ghosts came from the underworld.

But I had never heard of so many ghosts living in the underworld before.

If you look carefully at the place where the Blackwater River appears, you will find that something seems to be shining there.

A hawk demon looked at it and suddenly screamed: "Star crystal! It's star crystal! It's really these humans who used star crystal to expand the exit of the underworld and put in a lot of ghosts!"

Using star crystals to expand the passage to the underworld, so that ghosts can enter here more easily and in greater numbers, is indeed a simple and practical method.

When they thought of being tricked by Sun Shuming, the demons were filled with anger and hatred. Just looking around, there was no sign of Sun Shuming and others.

I looked around, but I didn't see Sun Shuming and others. I was confused, and suddenly a demon pointed at the Blackwater River: "Look!"

I saw the waves rolling in the black water river, and there seemed to be countless fish jumping in them. If you look carefully, you can see small snakes as thin as thumbs swimming down the river, meandering across the river, and suddenly jumping up, so that hundreds of black lights and shadows suddenly appeared on the Blackwater River.

Black water demon snake!
