Chapter 157: Dead Corpses in the North
The northern part is mostly hilly and has more rain.
At this time, under the cover of night, it was drizzling, and the raindrops hit the many tents in a camp, making a tapping sound.
Inside the tent, Zhou Zhilu was meditating with his eyes closed. It had been more than ten days since they came to the northern border, and during this time they had been searching everywhere for the whereabouts of Shopkeeper Liao.
During this period, Zhou Zhilu kept trying to contact Wu An, but he also failed, and he couldn't help feeling worried.
The place we are exploring now is already the edge of the northern border. If we go further north, we will reach the territory of the Demon Alliance, and the danger level will increase dramatically.
"well……"
Zhou Zhilu sighed thoughtfully, his mind immersed in the "Heavenly Star Four Symbols Technique" he had acquired earlier.
If the "Liang Yi Xuan Qing Gong" focuses on achieving a balance between blood and spiritual energy, and is more of an auxiliary type, then the "Tian Xing Si Xiang Jue" strengthens the body and soul, and is more of an offensive type.
What is more fitting is that this "Celestial Star Four Symbols Secret" has a certain degree of compatibility with the previously obtained soul-assisted cultivation method "Six Spirits and Souls Record", and the deified Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise can assist each other to make their power even greater.
At this moment, in Zhou Zhilu's introspection, at the position of the heart, a green power was constantly condensing and spreading with the beating of the heart.
His soul also sank into his heart, constantly imagining the appearance of the Azure Dragon, and gradually formed an illusory dragon shadow that wrapped around his heart, but the dragon shadow at this time was still quite blurry.
However, just when Zhou Zhilu was immersed in his practice and his mind was extremely tense, he suddenly heard some noise amid the noisy sound of raindrops.
"Tick, tick, tick."
Zhou Zhilu opened his eyes quickly and hurried out of the tent. He found that in addition to himself, Jing Zhan, Taoist Jiuyun, Yan Sanniang and Huike's two senior brothers had also come out.
Everyone looked at each other, and then Taoist Jiuyun frowned and said, "It's footsteps."
Upon hearing this, Jing Zhan immediately took out his spear, smashed it to the ground, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, get ready, stay alert!"
As Jing Zhan finished speaking, the soldiers in the camp quickly picked up the weapons around them, gathered together in groups of three or five, and formed a simple military formation.
Huike was also woken up, rubbing his eyes in confusion and crawling out of the tent.
Suddenly, Taoist Jiuyun jumped onto a tree and waved his hand towards the sky. Countless falling raindrops stopped in the air instantly and then shot towards the direction where the sound came from.
These raindrops were harmless, but they were a good means of reconnaissance. As Taoist Jiuyun closed his eyes and felt the shapes of the objects the raindrops touched, his expression changed and he shouted to the crowd below, "There are at least two or three white people!"
Jing Zhan immediately shouted, "Mount your horses! Form your troops!"
Yan Sanniang also decisively drew out the long whip from her waist and swung it violently into the air. A fierce flame shot out from the whip into the sky, instantly dispelling the darkness around her.
Zhou Zhilu jumped onto the treetop, his eyes gleaming with gold. With the help of Yan Sanniang's flame, he gradually made out the face of the person approaching from afar. He shouted urgently, "It's a demon! The demon tribe is coming... Wait, that's not right!"
Zhou Zhilu suddenly denied it, and Jing Zhan below frowned and shouted, "What on earth is it?"
Zhou Zhilu looked at the group coming from a distance...for a moment he didn't know what to call them.
All of these "people" were wearing standard armor, and were obviously soldiers on the front line. But if you look more closely, you can see that their eyes were rolled back, some of them had their necks cracked in half, and some had a hole in their heads, with their white bones exposed. They were obviously dead!
But what made Zhou Zhilu's scalp tingle even more was that these dead "people" all had various demon parts growing on their bodies.
Some of them had a monkey tail on their buttocks, some had a tiger head suddenly grafted next to a human head, and some even had two eagle claws emerging from their tattered stomachs, waving constantly.
Very weird! Very weird!
"It's... a monster that's a hybrid of human and demon!" Zhou Zhilu explained, suppressing the nausea in his heart.
Jing Zhan and others were a little confused at first, but when the monsters came closer, they completely understood what Zhou Zhilu meant.
When these monsters saw Zhou Zhilu and others, red light flashed in their eyes, and they roared one after another. The sounds of humans and animals mixed together, and suddenly they ran towards the crowd frantically.
"Attack!" Jing Zhan jumped on his horse, pointed his spear forward and shouted. Although he didn't know where these monsters came from, since their hostility had already appeared, he would crush them with his iron hooves first!
Taoist Jiuyun on top of the tree took the first step. The gourd on his waist grew bigger in the wind, and countless raindrops turned into streams of water that wrapped around the huge gourd. Taoist Jiuyun jumped onto the wine gourd floating in the air, stepped on the gourd and pressed down on the monster below.
Following closely behind was Zhou Zhilu. An armored warrior emerged behind him, holding a knife in both hands. The biting cold turned all the rain around him into ice, blocking the advance of some monsters.
As he swung the sword, a hint of a dragon's shadow was faintly hidden in the bright light. This was Zhou Zhilu's attempt to apply the Four Symbols Secret to his swordsmanship.
Zhou Zhilu had a feeling that when he mastered the Four Symbols Technique, he might really be able to cut out a dragon with one sword!
Yan Sanniang's flaming whip and the golden body of Buddha appeared one after another, and Jing Zhan also led the hundred cavalrymen behind him to shuttle through the monster army.
The battle lasted for half an incense stick of time, and when everyone stopped, the ground was littered with broken bodies.
