Chapter 124: Son of the Ghost Mother
Following the human footprints, the more Ryan and the others looked, the more surprised they were, because there were more and more human footprints on the frost released by Wang Mumu, which meant that at least one human wild monster team passed by here a few days ago.
They chased for more than ten miles in one breath. This time, Wang Mumu didn't need to release frost to make an imprint, because they had already seen several figures running wildly in front, as if they were being chased by something from behind.
"Duan Kuan, Zhou Datou, you go ahead first. Song Dachui, Liang Ji, you take ten people and surround us from the left. Mumu, you follow me and hold the line at the back."
Ryan quickly gave orders and a group of people rushed forward. At this time, the figures who were running madly also discovered them, and immediately turned around and ran towards them, waving their arms and shouting something while running.
But Ryan and the others didn't care. With the strength of their exploration team, they were not afraid of anything as long as they didn't encounter the Ghost Lady.
"Run, run!"
As the two sides approached each other rapidly, Duan Kuan and Zhou Datou heard those people shouting frantically, but strangely, there was really nothing behind them. Only the terrified expressions on their faces proved that they were indeed being chased by something.
"Stop, what happened?"
Duan Kuan drew out his long sword, and Zhou Datou stood behind him holding a shield. Both of them were veterans and experienced, so they were very calm.
"Run, run!"
Those people were still running and shouting, heading towards Duan Kuan and Zhou Datou.
"I told you to stop."
Duan Kuan shouted again, but those men kept running, as if they couldn't hear him.
"Get started!"
Duan Kuan shouted, and a flash of knife light slashed out, separating the heads of the two leaders. The knife light flashed again, and the bodies of the two men were chopped into dozens of pieces.
It's not that Duan Kuan was cruel, but he knew something was wrong as soon as he drew his knife, because there was not even a drop of blood in the bodies of these two people.
"Big Head, retreat!"
Roaring wildly, the long sword in Duan Kuan's hand suddenly burst out like a scorching sun, and the dazzling sword light shot up into the sky. In just a few breaths, he slashed out hundreds of times, strangling the bodies of the two men into thousands of pieces.
Then Duan Kuan pulled away and retreated quickly more than ten meters.
On the other side, Zhou Datou decisively pinned the last two people to the ground with two consecutive steel javelins.
"retreat!"
Duan Kuan pulled Zhou Datou and turned around to run, while making a gesture to Ryan to retreat.
Although he didn't know why, Ryan did not hesitate and immediately ordered Song Dachui and Liang Ji to retreat, while he and Wang Mumu stayed where they were to support Duan Kuan and the other two.
Then, in just a few seconds, the corpse that was chopped into thousands of pieces by Duan Kuan in one breath began to slowly wriggle and returned to its original state in a moment.
The two men who were nailed to the ground by Zhou Datou's javelins also pulled their heads out of the javelins in an incredible way, and the bowl-sized wounds slowly healed.
"What's going on?"
Ryan was a little confused because this was the first time he saw it, and so were the others.
"I don't believe in evil!"
Wang Mumu roared, and rushed forward with the Bull Tower Shield in hand. With one shield, he knocked the four strange men into a pile, and then slammed them to the ground like rice cakes.
Until these four people smashed the rice cakes.
But when Wang Mumu picked up the tower shield, the big piece of rice cake came alive again and turned into four people, still shouting, "Run, run!", and then wrapped around Wang Mumu like crazy, as if trying to squeeze in.
“Go to hell!”
Ice burst out from Wang Mumu's body, and the four weirdos were frozen again. This time he hurriedly pulled back, obviously feeling guilty. What kind of monster is this that cannot be killed no matter what?
"Use fire!"
Fortunately, Ryan behind him had an idea. While the four monsters were frozen, he quickly piled firewood around them. After lighting it, there was a burst of ghost howling. However, from then on, the four monsters could no longer heal and were directly burned to ashes.
"What on earth is this?"
A group of veterans standing in front of the fire looked at each other in bewilderment, their previous confidence having been affected.
"It's the ghost mother's son!"
Wang Mumu suddenly spoke up, "I sensed it when they entered my body just now. Of course, I don't know what they are called. I only know that they also want to turn me into the son of the ghost mother. You all should be careful. If a piece of meat enters your body, you will be doomed. Maybe the lord may have a way, but I can't save you."
"Son of the Ghost Mother, are you saying that this is some kind of method used by the Ghost Lady?" Ryan asked. Wang Mumu nodded, then shook his head. "I don't know much. Let's just keep looking."
"Do you want to continue? I thought I was no longer afraid of these evil spirits now that I have the breath of cold air. What on earth is the son of the ghost mother?"
Song Dachui said with horror, this is too scary, too weird, it is not as comfortable and satisfying as a head-on fight.
"Don't be so long-winded. Ghosts, ghost assassins, ghost priests, and ghost ladies are mysterious and unpredictable. It's normal for them to have many evil and vicious methods. I think these ghosts are probably created by the ghost lady to deal with us. So, we must at least investigate the matter clearly. Otherwise, when we go back and the lord asks about it, how will you answer? Get ready to be kicked."
Ryan scolded.
"Hey, Ryan, the lord once told us that when we encounter something we cannot understand or defeat, we must first learn to give in." Song Dachui protested.
"Nonsense, what was the situation when the Lord said this, and what is our current situation? How can it be compared! I am the leader of the exploration team now, so I have the final say. Continue to track down and start from the direction where these four ghost mother sons ran from."
Ryan gave the order decisively, and Song Dachui just muttered a few words. Seeing that his three brothers remained silent, he also kept silent.
The direction in which the four sons of the ghost mother ran out was to the right. There was a big mountain over there, but the trees had basically been cut down, and large tracts of reclaimed farmland could be seen.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Ryan bent down and grabbed a handful of soil from the ground. After carefully examining it, he said, "Behind this mountain there must be the coal mine that the Lord mentioned. Look, there are fine black slags on the road."
"Everyone be careful. If the four ghost mother's sons just came out from here, then we will probably face a fierce battle next. Duan Kuan, take people to collect some firewood and place it on the road for our retreat. Mu Mu, you take people to scout."
Ryan was cautious.
Everyone followed the order.
Soon, Duan Kuan and his men collected several large piles of firewood and placed them in specific locations.
Wang Mumu also quickly led his men back.
"There is a large building on the other side of the mountain. I don't know if it is the orcs' coal and iron mines, but the lord certainly didn't have time to search here that day. In addition, I found traces of the ghost mother's children over there. There are almost hundreds of them, including humans, orcs, jackals and giant deer. It seems that we are no match for them."
Wang Mumu felt guilty for a rare time, but there was nothing he could do. The son of the ghost mother could not be killed by a knife or frozen, and could only be burned with fire. It would be much better if the lord was here.
Ryan hesitated for a moment. He also felt that dealing with hundreds of ghost mother's sons was very troublesome.
"Let's attack with fire. Go collect firewood and set up a big trap here. Once we lure those ghost mother's sons over here—"
Before Ryan had finished his arrangements, he heard a shrill cry. A black flame rose in the sky, continuously making shrill cries.
"It's the ghost priest. Oops, it's trying to lure in the ghost mother's sons!"
"Shoot it!"
Ryan and the others reacted quickly, but the ghost priest seemed to recognize their power and kept floating in the air about six or seven hundred meters high, constantly making strange noises, attracting the son of the ghost mother on the other side of the mountain.
"Form a formation, form a formation!"
"Light the fire! Let's fight with our backs to the fire!"
"Mumu and I will be in the front, with Kuan on the right, Dachui on the left, and Datou, you hold the fort! Just keep your eyes on the sky. If that ghost priest dares to get close, shoot its head. This ghost's cry is too ugly!"
"Everyone, be careful not to let these ghost mother's children penetrate your body. Try to chop them into pieces and throw them into the fire."
Ryan quickly commanded and dispatched the troops. It was too late to retreat now, and he would not allow retreat. This was the first time he led a team out as a leader. If he returned in disgrace, how could he face people?
Especially, he has Wang Mumu, who has the strongest fighting power under his command.
As they were talking, a large group of the ghost mother's sons appeared on the hill. They were howling and shouting. On the surface, they looked no different from normal people, except that they were extremely frightened.
If you are not prepared in advance, you will easily be pounced on by these ghost mother's sons.
In a blink of an eye, these ghost mother's sons had rushed to within dozens of meters. Wang Mumu took the lead and charged with a shield in hand. He rushed to a large group of people. Then, without waiting for the ghost mother's sons to pounce on him, a ray of ice burst out and froze dozens of them directly. With a round left and right, the huge bull tower shield was like playing golf, smashing the frozen ghost mother's sons directly into the fire.
This move made Ryan feel inferior. Wang Mumu's brain was a little slow, but he was stubborn and would not look back once he made up his mind about something. This was also the reason why he was able to advance quickly in the war. The fighting power of the King of Shield Soldiers was no joke.
Immediately, Ryan and the others felt relieved. They were so worried before because they had no idea how powerful Wang Mumu was, as he had two extraordinary attributes.
Wang Mumu has always been a taciturn person. If he doesn’t speak, others won’t know how powerful he is.
So when Ryan also rushed forward with the Stag Tower Shield, the battle was won. No one else had to do anything. They only had to throw wood into the fire and prevent the ghost mother's sons from escaping from the fire.
In less than five minutes, hundreds of the Ghost Mother's sons were all wiped out.
Everyone looked at each other, all with a look of disbelief.
"Don't be careless. Go pick up firewood. From now on, everyone will carry a large bundle of firewood. I have discovered why the lord always asks us to prepare firewood for each action. It turns out that firewood is really a good thing for home travel, murder and robbery!"
Ryan said with great emotion.
These words made everyone nod their heads repeatedly, including Wang Mumu.
Because if they hadn't prepared the fire in time, do you believe they would have been wiped out here today? How could they be killed so easily?
"Hey, are you one of us? I'm the village chief Wang Shun, your good neighbor. I recognize you, Wu Yu. I've collected his ashes. I'm a friendly force."
At this moment, a trembling sound, as if someone was extremely frightened, suddenly came from the hill ahead, and then a head popped up.
