Chapter 443: Conspiracy
The blood-red sun was setting in the west, and the sky was gradually getting dark. The auxiliary soldiers of the Yanxing tribe rushed to the blood river under the urging of the general flags.
The strong smell of blood and burnt smell came to the face, and the billowing smoke could be clearly seen from several miles away.
In addition to the huge red-eyed water apes as big as high-rise buildings, there were many giant corpses three to five meters high on the battlefield.
Some of these giants were covered with scales, some had multiple hands and one eye, and some had horns on their heads. Although they were generally similar to human figures, they looked strange and different.
The more Chen Mu looked, the more frightened he became.
He suddenly found that his state after performing the five ghosts possession was very similar to these giants!
"So many ghost soldiers died, this is a big deal!" Shi Dechun's face turned pale and his voice trembled.
These giants are ghost soldiers, ghost soldiers who have trained ghost patterns? !
Chen Mu's heart jumped.
Are the giants transformed by his five ghosts actually some kind of ghost soldiers?
He stared at the giants with broken bodies, his eyes fixed on them.
At this moment, thick black smoke was floating out of the giant. As the black smoke rose into the sky, its body slowly faded and became transparent until it disappeared.
After a while, Chen Mu took a deep breath and suppressed his shock.
The five ghosts were actually five ghost paper figures, which were made of ghosts. From the memory of the Wangchuan River, the ghosts were a variant of ghosts. Both were made of ghosts, and it was not impossible for them to have similarities.
Even so, he still had many questions in his heart.
The inheritance of the Five Ghost Bag was recorded in the Qianshan Sutra, which is a long-standing and widely spread side door scripture. The scripture has long been incomplete, and the fragments passed down to the world are all fragments, and the secret methods recorded are mostly weird and evil. He didn't expect that such a left-handed scripture would involve the underworld.
"If I have the opportunity to return to the mortal world, I must find it to see what's going on."
...
The next day.
The camp of the third flag of the second flag.
Chen Mu sat against the wall and looked out of the barracks through the wide open window. Many auxiliary soldiers were gathering in twos and threes, talking and chatting in low voices with worried faces.
Not long after, Shi Dechun walked into the barracks quickly and came straight to Chen Mu.
"I found out that our Haizi Camp leader, General Lan Zhanglan, found the core water palace of the red-eyed water ape yesterday."
"The water ape resisted fiercely during the attack, which led to the death of a large number of Yin soldiers."
Chen Mu understood: "Did they break through the water palace?"
"I'm afraid not." Shi Dechun shook his head.
"General Lan has ordered a rest and preparation for war, and will go out again in three days."
"This time we are well prepared, and there is a high probability that it will succeed." Shi Dechun was excited.
Chen Mu was not so optimistic.
"The Yin soldiers are resting, and the red-eyed water apes are gathering. The final outcome is still uncertain."
"If we can win in one battle, it will be fine. If it becomes a protracted war, we will be the unlucky ones."
"The Hai Camp is protected by secret methods and is as solid as a rock. Do those red-haired monkeys dare to attack the main camp?" Shi Dechun was puzzled.
"Even rabbits bite when they are anxious."
"Even if they dare not attack the main camp, don't they dare to attack us auxiliary soldiers?"
"As long as a few of them jump out when we are carrying the water ape corpse, it will be enough to cause us heavy casualties!"
Shi Dechun's face was also solemn.
...
In the afternoon.
There are several rows of stone bungalows on the west side of the Hai Camp. They belong to the Hai Camp Armament Department. All secret magic treasures and medicines are exchanged from here.
In a stone house.
"Five military merits for one pot of Wangchuan River water." A young man in black in his twenties said without raising his head behind a half-man-high wooden counter.
Isn't it three military merits?
This is different from the price he inquired before.
Chen Mu frowned slightly, but still took out the ghost face bronze plate.
The battlefield was getting more and more dangerous. He wanted to improve the Huangquan Yin as soon as possible and transfer it to the Huangquan Department, so he could only take the risk of using the Feiyan Sutra to assist.
But this would require a large amount of Wangchuan River water. He couldn't keep up with the speed of refining it, so he could only use military merit to exchange it with the Armament Department.
Thanks to Brother Hong Xiu's generous gift, the secret Huangquan Yin didn't spend any military merit, so the more than 3,000 military merits he accumulated were not used at all, and now it was of great use.
The young man in black reached out to take the bronze plate, activated the Yin Ling divine power, gestured a few times, and pushed it to Chen Mu again.
Along with it, there was also a pebble. It was the size of an egg, blue-gray in color, slightly flat, and covered with silver lines all over.
This is...
"You haven't seen Wangchuan Stone?" The young man in black glanced at Chen Mu and said, "It seals a spell inside. Go back and activate it with the Yin Ling divine power, and you can summon a cauldron of Wangchuan River water."
Wangchuan Stone? The Yinming version of the talisman?
Chen Mu raised his eyebrows and played with the blue-gray stone in curiosity.
He still knew little about the Yinming.
The Five Ghost Bag was not easy to use casually, and the Breath Bag was too small. Before coming, he was afraid that the volume of the Wangchuan River water was too large to be transported secretly, so he planned to buy only one cauldron.
Now...
"Excuse me, give me another two hundred of this Wangchuan stone." Chen Mu pushed the ghost face bronze plate back and smiled.
"How much?"
"Two hundred!"
"Are you going to take a bath with this thing?" The black-clothed young man who had always been calm and indifferent couldn't help but raise his voice.
Hey!
Guess what?
I really want to take a bath with this thing!
Chen Mu smiled.
...
In the center of the Haizi Camp, deep in a tall stone hall, Lan Zhang sat lazily on a gray-white stone chair.
He wore loose white clothes with his hair loose, his elbows against the armrests, and his right fist casually supported his right face.
His narrow eyes, with distinct red and white features, stared intently at the dividing line between light and shadow at the door.
A tall and thin figure in black walked slowly into the room, stepping on the dim light and shadow.
The other party walked to the stone table, put his hands in his wide sleeves, and stared at Lan Zhang condescendingly.
"You broke away from the Yin soldiers and broke into the water palace alone to attack the water ape king. General Lan, you are really brave." The man in black sneered and mocked.
"Don't you know that once the core of the water palace is destroyed and the water ape king is killed, the red-eyed water ape tribe will immediately fall apart and flee everywhere?"
"We are here to capture enough red-eyed water apes, not to let you show your personal bravery!" The man in black said coldly.
Lan Zhang's eyes turned slightly, and his blood-red pupils glanced at the tall and thin man in black. His voice was calm and cold: "Shen Yan."
"What do you want to teach me, General Lan?" The man in black, Shen Yan, remained calm and looked directly into Lan Zhang's eyes
"You are blocking my light."
"You..." The man in black changed his face.
Just when he was about to open his mouth to reprimand, he could not help but tense up when he met Lan Zhang's calm blood-red eyes. He involuntarily moved his feet and stood beside the stone table.
Lan Zhang's blood-red eyes slowly turned back and stared at the light and shadow at the door again.
Shen Yan in black suddenly felt his chest rise and fall violently. After a long time, he took a deep breath and tried to suppress his anger and continued to persuade.
"General Lan, you are originally cultivating the water ape Dharma."
"Only by killing enough red-eyed water apes and perfecting the spiritual power on the root stone tablet can your Yin Shen Dharma have a chance to reach the top."
"The most important thing is that this move is related to the city lord's avenue. If you disobey the order and ruin things, the Haizi Camp will be finished."
"By then, you and I are afraid that the soul-summoning flag will drain our essence." Shen Yan's face was cold.
"Prepare the soul-summoning altar within three days." Lan Zhang's voice was flat.
"You want to draw the power of the Yin spirit? You...you still want to trouble the water ape king?!" Shen Yan's face was immediately filled with anger.
Lan Zhang rolled his eyes and glanced at the other party.
Shen Yan's body froze.
"Okay, okay! I'll prepare the altar!" He gritted his teeth: "But it's my duty. Everything that happens in this Haizi Camp will be recorded and reported truthfully."
"Which way to go? You decide for yourself!" Shen Yan glared at Lan Zhang fiercely and left the stone hall quickly.
The stone hall returned to silence again.
"The top? A big red-haired monkey? Ha..." Lan Zhang's left index finger lightly held the handrail, with a playful smile on his face.
"Are you sure you want to practice blood nerves? Aren't you afraid of going crazy?" A clear and crisp child's voice suddenly sounded in the empty stone hall.
Buzz!
In the shadow on the left side of the room, a dense crowd of eyes suddenly appeared.
On the ground, walls, and ceiling, strange eyes almost occupied half of the room. Their eyes were large and small, and they opened and closed and turned, as if each had its own consciousness.
"Isn't this what you want?"
Lan Zhang still sat lazily on the stone chair, staring at the changing light and shadow at the door, and didn't even look at the weird eyes in the room.
"We give secret methods, we give resources, we just equally welcome all outsiders to become one of us." The repeated crisp children's voices were calm.
"Yes, yes, you help me grow stronger, you wait for me to go crazy, and then you can swallow me into your stomach?" Lan Zhang chuckled.
"That's right!" Countless innocent children cheered at the same time, and their eyes kept blinking, full of excitement.
"Heh!" Lan Zhang's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a slightly crazy smile.
"Then come on!"
