Chapter 463: Scattered
Haizi camp.
The air was filled with the smell of burning wood, clothing, and flesh. The clay barracks collapsed in pieces, and pits exploded on the ground could be seen everywhere, and the surrounding edges were completely blackened by flames.
The entire camp was quiet, and from time to time he saw clusters of gray dust on the ground, which made Chen Mu's expression change again and again.
Those are the ashes of Yin spirits after they die. Just looking at the light layer of white ash on the ground, you can tell that a large number of Yin spirits must have died and dissipated last night.
"It should be the Red-Eyed Water Ape who attacked at night." Shen Yan looked at the signs of destruction around him with a solemn expression.
At the edge of the camp, looking at the chaotic footsteps leading in all directions, Chen Mu looked in disbelief: "This huge camp just collapsed and dissipated?"
Those are hundreds of thousands of Yin spirits!
"A bunch of trash, they haven't organized any effective counterattack at all!" Shen Yan looked at the messy footprints on the ground, his face turned pale.
Although the auxiliary troops are not very powerful, they are not without resistance. As long as they block attacks, they can escape in an orderly manner, unlike now...
…
City of Thousand Lights.
Hong Xiu walked to Chen Mu's small courtyard. Before he entered, he saw Chen Mu's frowning face in front of the round table.
The face of the supervisor next to him, Shen Yan, was equally ugly.
Hong Xiu's heart skipped a beat, and he was about to turn around and leave, but was discovered by Chen Mu.
"Is something wrong?"
Hong Xiu had to bite the bullet and stepped forward: "There was a guy in Gengliu Banner who was a mason during his lifetime. He wanted some wood to come in and build barracks for everyone."
Chen Mu couldn't help but look into the distance.
After eating and drinking enough and staying away from the influence of blood and yang, the Yin spirits are no longer confused and despairing before. At this moment, groups of three or five were gathering together to chat and spank, and no one knew who said what, causing bursts of laughter.
Feeling the cheerful atmosphere in the distance, Chen Mu couldn't be happy at all.
"I will bring in some wood and stone when I have time." Chen Mu shook his head, but did not refuse. He had to find something for these people to do.
"You're busy." Hong Xiu responded, immediately cupped his fists and handed over his hands, turned around and left. If it could give supervisor Shen Yan a headache, something big might have happened, so he thought it would be better not to get involved.
"Can your method of returning to Yin Ming be accomplished with more than three hundred Yin spirits?" Chen Mu looked at Shen Yan with a hopeful look on his face.
"Remember my plan now? It's too late!" Shen Yan looked unhappy.
It seems not enough.
Chen Mu sighed.
He also didn't expect that all the hundreds of thousands of auxiliary soldiers in the freshman camp would disappear overnight.
"With those auxiliary soldiers, is there any chance of returning to Yinming?" Chen Mu asked again.
Shen Yan also sighed. In the current situation, all his previous plans came to nothing.
"People from the Medicine and Stone Department have been in contact with the Huangquan Department all year round, and they have a way to attract the power of the Wangchuan River."
"The Ministry of Armament has a lot of secret soul-leaving soups for crossing the underworld. As long as the guys from the Ministry of Works and Construction learn it and work together to cast it, and the Medicine and Stone Department cooperates to pull the Wangchuan River, there is hope that they can return to Yinming on their own."
"What a pity..."
It's a pity that a group of people only know how to fight among themselves.
Chen Muhen's teeth itched with hatred.
"Brother Chen, let's..." Shi Dechun asked cautiously.
"Chase..." Chen Mu shook his head.
"If you want to return to Yinming, you can't do it without the combined efforts of all the auxiliary soldiers. Let's catch up with the main force first."
…
With the decision made, Chen Mu immediately took action, leading Shen Yan out of Qiandeng City, and walked around the ruins of Haizi Camp to observe the direction of everyone's escape.
Looking at the chaotic footprints, Shen Yan's face was gloomy: "Hu Cheng from the Yinfeng Department should be thrown into Jiuyou Wujian and be burned!"
Yinfengbu?
Burning by fire?
Where is this?
Shen Yan's face was full of anger: "The Yin Wind Department has Yin Wind Flags, which are similar to flames and can attract the Yin Wind to fly on the clouds. They were originally used to transport Yin spirits when moving the camp."
"There are so many footprints on the ground, which means that the people from the Yinfeng Department didn't come to carry the auxiliary soldiers at all."
"A bunch of deserters!"
After a while, Shen Yan suppressed the anger in his heart and said calmly: "The three departments of Huangquan, Junbei, and Caiyuan are on the west side of the camp. The four departments of Yaoshi, Yanxing, Gongzao, and Yinfeng are on the east side of the camp."
"To find medicine, stone and engineering, we have to go east." Shen Yan suggested
Chen Mu immediately activated the Five Elements Escape Technique, blended into the breeze, followed the chaotic footprints on the east side of Haiziying, and walked with the wind toward the east.
After chasing for more than ten miles, the tracks on the ground began to branch. A large number of footprints are facing northeast, while a small number are facing southeast.
"Sure enough, they fled in a panic. Only a short distance away, they were already panicking and collapsing." Chen Mu couldn't help but shake his head as he looked at the few footprints heading east.
He immediately turned around and headed northeast.
After chasing for another thirty miles, the messy footprints on the ground appeared to diverge again. Chen Mu ignored the small branches and followed the footsteps of at most one team.
The pursuit lasted seventy or eighty miles, and along the way we could occasionally see traces of small groups of people escaping from the large army.
Not long after chasing, a large number of footprints from the southwest gathered together in a hillside woodland.
"Did they agree to gather in this direction, or did they just happen to meet?" Chen Mu was confused.
"They probably bumped into each other by chance." Shen Yan looked at the footprints on the ground carefully and analyzed: "Such a large number should be the auxiliary soldiers of the Caiyuan Department. The Gongzhao Yanxing and other departments don't look down on those new Yin spirits, so naturally they don't Maybe take the initiative to gather with them.”
"As long as you are following the wrong direction." Chen Mu became more confident and followed the chaotic footsteps along the woods at the foot of the mountain.
But as he chased after him, he realized something was wrong.
As the team moved forward, more and more small groups of people dispersed in all directions.
When the sun was setting, Chen Mu followed the wind and escaped from the low mountains and entered an empty dark green grassland.
Accompanied by a large area of dense water ape attack traces, the huge team collapsed. In all directions, there were chaotic footprints of these people fleeing.
Chen Mu's face suddenly changed.
"Ambush by water apes? The entire camp auxiliary troops completely fell apart?"
"Then what's the point!"
...
In the evening, the setting sun was like blood.
On the vast grassland, a large patch of weeds as tall as a person suddenly shook violently, and more than a hundred ghosts in gray shorts were walking in the grass.
They were in a panic, and each of them rushed to the distant hills desperately.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, faster!"
"As long as we rush into the distant dense forest, everyone can survive!" Xin Twelve Banners General Feng Qianli shouted loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a roar suddenly came from behind him.
Feng Qianli's face changed, and he turned his head suddenly. He saw a three-meter-tall red-haired ape standing up not far behind him, staring at them with blood-red eyes, as if he was looking at a group of lambs to be slaughtered, his eyes were full of coldness.
Feng Qianli's pupils suddenly contracted, and he shouted loudly with trembling: "Run!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his whole body tense, and a cold chill suddenly hit his heart.
Looking closely, he saw that the red-haired ape landed on six limbs, and crossed a distance of more than 500 meters in two jumps, like a fiery red meteor, wrapped in a hot scarlet light, falling and hitting his head.
"Move the mountain!"
He slapped the ground with both hands, and the Yin Spirit's divine power rushed out. The soil in front of him suddenly bulged, like a wave, surging away into the distance.
The next moment.
Boom!
The three-meter-thick soil was like a carpet, suddenly rolled back to the sky, and slammed towards the red-eyed ape.
Bang!
The mud splashed.
The thick and hard mud wall was broken by the ape in the blink of an eye, and the ape itself was forced to fall to the ground, but despair instantly filled Feng Qianli's heart.
The previous blow had emptied all his divine power, but the result was only that the ape shook its head and body, as if it had just been splashed with a basin of water!
Not only did it fail to cause any damage, but it also attracted the angry sight of the ape.
With a deafening roar, the ape's body suddenly enlarged and came in front of him in almost the blink of an eye.
Two fists wrapped in fiery red light smashed down like scorching shells. Locked by the fierce energy of the ape, Feng Qianli was stunned on the spot.
Seeing that the fist was about to hit the top of his head, his hair was even twisted by the burning fist wind.
But the next moment, he only felt a flash of light in front of his eyes, and the red-haired ape that occupied all his sight suddenly disappeared.
Bang! Bang bang bang!
With a series of ground tremors, the fierce water ape was sent flying a hundred meters away.
After landing, it rolled all the way, the grass and soil were shattered and splashed, like a meteorite impact, and a long gully was plowed out.
Feng Qianli turned his head instinctively and saw a giant with indigo skin at least five meters tall, with black smoke all over his body.
Yin soldiers?
Saved!
With a sense of relief, he immediately sat down on the ground, without the strength to get up.
…
Unharmed? !
Chen Mu couldn't help but squint at the water ape shaking its head in the distance.
Roar!
The dizzy red-eyed water ape discovered Chen Mu's existence at the same time, and immediately opened his mouth and roared, with his fangs exposed and his eyes full of ferocity.
A living red-eyed water ape!
Ha!
Chen Mu grinned, revealing a row of fine and sharp teeth: "Let me see what you, a little red-haired monkey, are capable of!"
As if sensing Chen Mu's provocation, the red-haired water ape immediately landed on all six limbs, with muscles all over his body tense, and red light surging on his fiery red fur.
Buzz!
A beam of red light suddenly spurted out of his mouth.
Come on!
"Qi Ban!"
Buzz!
The rapidly approaching red light suddenly seemed to fall into the mud, and its speed suddenly decreased.
Chen Mu's eyes were scarlet, his right hand was clenched into a fist, and disappeared like lightning. When he reappeared, he was already above the red light.
Boom!
The slender red light was hammered by the fist, but it suddenly exploded into a scarlet fireball with a diameter of three meters.
The hot air flow scattered, and the surrounding weeds that were as tall as a person were blown dry and fell down by the scorching air waves.
Bang!
A pair of big hands broke through the fireball, swung left and right, and shattered the fireball into sparks.
Feeling the slight burning pain on his palm, Chen Mu laughed.
"Too weak, too weak, too weak! You don't even have the strength to fight, how can you come out to make a living, come again..."
Before he finished his trash talk, he found that the water ape more than a hundred meters away had disappeared!
Six or seven hundred meters away, a fiery red figure was on the ground with six feet, trying to hide himself in the grass, and moving quickly with a sneaky look.
Fire a shot and run away?
The male monkey never looks back at the explosion?
Weren't you very fierce just now? !
Why are you so cowardly!
Chen Mu looked unhappy and wanted to chase him immediately.
As if he had noticed Chen Mu's intention, he saw the monkey's whole body flashing red, and a ball of fire exploded behind its butt. The whole monkey was like a baseball, and was blown away by the explosion for several miles.
Then it bounced up and down with its charred butt, and disappeared into the dense weeds in the blink of an eye.
Chen Mu: "..."
You are so cruel!
...
In Qiandeng City, the small courtyard is brightly lit.
Feng Qianli bowed slightly and carefully responded to Chen Mu's question.
"Don't be afraid, once you enter Qiandeng City, you are one of us." Chen Mu tried to make himself look gentle.
Feng Qianli nodded respectfully, but his expression became more and more reserved.
He still hadn't forgotten Chen Mu's excited expression when he pulled the fireball with his bare hands. Looking at the gentle young man now, he was completely different. He felt that the ghost soldier in front of him... might be a little sick.
Chen Mu shook his head helplessly. The true form of the demon was different from practicing Qi, not so peaceful and upright.
Although he didn't have the crazy desire to devour when the five ghosts were possessed, once he used it, he still had a little bit of blood boiling, and his behavior was a little bit... wild.
Tsk! This is not the style I want.
Chen Mu hesitated for a moment and was attracted by what Feng Qianli said.
"I am Feng Qianli, the general flag of the 12th flag of the Caiyuan Department."
"Last night..."
"I don't know what happened last night." Feng Qianli looked heavy.
"We were resting in the barracks as usual, and then we were awakened by a violent explosion. When we rushed out of the barracks, we saw flames all over the camp, and there were roars and screams everywhere in the camp."
"Then we fled in panic, and we were swept up in the crowd and ran to the north. Later, for some reason, we turned east and ran into other auxiliary soldiers."
"I thought it would be safer with more people, but I didn't expect that we would be chased continuously, and there were also a large number of water apes that ambushed and attacked in front, and the team was scattered immediately."
"We could only choose a direction to escape."
"Do you know which unit the auxiliary soldiers who joined you are from?" Chen Mu couldn't help but confirm.
"It was too far away, so there was no contact, but I saw someone urging the flame car to transport supplies from afar, and the flame unit must be involved." Feng Qianli said truthfully.
Then there was no escape, and most of the escaped auxiliary soldiers must be in this direction.
But...but this group of people was broken up!
Without this group of auxiliary soldiers, how can I go back to the underworld?
Chen Mu's scalp suddenly felt numb.
