It was an indescribable feeling, as if something heavy was lingering in one's heart, making one feel depressed, but no matter how hard one tried, one could not figure out what it was.

Is the pressure from this war too great? Li Jing thought to himself.

There is no invincible general in this world, and the honor of being a god of war does put a lot of pressure on him.

And at this time.

Suddenly, the sound of soldiers screaming was heard not far away.

"What happened?" Li Jing frowned.

"General, some soldiers spoke nonsense in the army, so they were punished." The deputy general replied with a bow.

Li Jing nodded slightly and said nothing more.

In such weather, even a soldier with sufficient energy and blood might not survive the night if whipped.

However, orders must be obeyed in the military.

If you make a mistake, you must be punished. Li Jing has always been impartial in this regard.

He turned around and returned to his resting tent. After hesitating for a moment, he did not take off his armor, but rested in the cold armor.

And on the other side.

The soldiers were tied up and whipped with cow whips again and again. They screamed in agony but still shouted: "It's unfair! We really saw Xu Daniu and we dare not say anything nonsense!"

"Stop talking nonsense, don't you want to die?" The centurion was obviously very angry. "Xu Daniu has already died in the battle. You saw it with your own eyes. Half of his head was chopped off by a Turkic sword. Did you see a ghost?"

"But we really saw it." A soldier's lips were purple, his whole body was shaking, and his voice was trembling. "Xu Daniu really only had half a head, blood was dripping, brain matter was splattered, and his one eye was glowing green. He kept asking us why we didn't find his half head back and why we abandoned him."

His voice became weaker and weaker. He just stood there with his eyes wide open, motionless, as heavy snow continued to fall on his body and hair.

A soldier walked up and touched it.

A shiver.

"Sir, he, he's gone."

"How is it possible! Hasn't he already reached the blood coagulation stage? Why has he only hit me a few times?"

The centurion couldn't help but take a deep breath, walked forward a few steps, reached out to touch it, but couldn't help but retract his hand.

Cold, too cold.

I have seen many dead bodies in the army, but I have never seen one as cold as this.

Looking at that person's wide-open eyes, they actually seemed to be reflecting a faint green light.

Even though he was a centurion, he felt a chill in his heart.

He reached out his hand, touched the man's eyes, and helped him close his eyes.

But the hand just left.

Suddenly.

The dead soldier's eyes suddenly opened again.

"ah."

There were several screams from the side, and some people even took a few steps back and collapsed in the snow.

This scene is really creepy.

Coupled with the words the soldier said before his death, a chill swept over everyone.

It seemed as if there really was a ghost with only half a head left wandering around them.

Even the centurion felt a little scared at this time.

But he knew better that military regulations were strict.

He turned around and said viciously: "What are you afraid of? What is there to be afraid of? Don't you think about where this place is? What kind of evil ghost dares to come into my army!"

"But, but this is a military ghost," a soldier trembled, and before he could finish his words, he was glared back fiercely by the centurion.

"Stop talking nonsense. Military rules are strict. If you don't want to be punished and die, just shut up!" The centurion suppressed the commotion with just one sentence.

But then, several punished soldiers died one after another.

Even the caning was not completed.

Normally, this level of punishment would not be life-threatening.

all of a sudden.

"Have you heard? There is a ghost in the army!"

"Those who were punished all died in vain."

"Someone really saw that Xu Daniu, whose head was half chopped off, came back again."

"The military ghosts are not afraid of the evil spirits in the army at all."

“.”

The soldiers were discussing in private.

Shen Yi saw all of this.

Normally speaking, in ancient armies, especially in an army that had fought many battles like this one, the mere talk of ghosts and gods would not cause much of a stir. After all, each of these soldiers had been killing enemies at close range on the battlefield, and they were accustomed to life and death and fighting.

But at this moment.

Invisible fear is spreading continuously.

This is obviously not normal.

What is even more abnormal is that the blood, or spiritual energy, of these people is constantly gathering together along with this fear, gathering on a group of erratic souls and gradually condensing.

The night gradually deepened.

It was snowing heavily, but the moonlight was getting brighter.

Some soldiers opened their eyes in a daze.

I found a strange shadow reflected on the tent.

This shadow only has half a head!

"ah--!"

A shrill scream was heard.

Even Li Jing was awakened.

"What happened?" Li Jing asked in a deep voice.

"Reply, reply, General!" His deputy general, a true veteran of hundreds of battles and a martial arts master, could not suppress the fear in his voice at this moment, "There, there is a ghost! There is a ghost in the army!"

It was at this moment that screams rang out again, and it was not just the screams of one person.

Even shouts of fear could be heard.

Li Jing could no longer sit idly by. He had been sleeping with his armor on, so he picked up his sword and rushed out of the tent.

And at the moment of going out.

Cold. Very cold.

The heavy snow had not stopped yet, but the moonlight was shining on the snowy ground. The extreme cold continued to spread, as if penetrating into the bone marrow.

You know, he is a top-level expert in the realm of transformation! Even if he rolls naked in the icy river, he won't feel the slightest bit of cold.

But at this time, there was not much to worry about. The screams became more and more frequent, and the entire military camp was in chaos. Countless soldiers even thought it was an enemy attack.

"Pass the order down, all soldiers leave the tents and perform their duties! Don't panic! Follow me!" Li Jing gave the order decisively.

After all, he was the military god of the Tang Dynasty and was well-known for his power. When he stood up at this moment, the frightened soldiers around him felt like they had found their backbone.

They followed Li Jing and ran towards the place where the scream came from.

The closer you get, the colder it gets.

Some soldiers were horrified to find that some soldiers had fallen to the ground, their bodies stiff as ice sculptures.

And they finally saw the culprit.

Ghost! It really is a ghost!

A blood shadow, whose entity was unknown or not, had a hideous face, with only half a head left, and was covered in blood. Its body was constantly shaking, like a giant snake wriggling and running around in the blood-red ghost energy.

And the moment I saw it, great fear surged in my heart.

Not under control at all.
