Chapter 237 Communication and Subsequent Development, Blood Snake Followers
When Wang Chao came to the backyard, he saw a group of dozens of people wearing Ming Dynasty costumes. They were in a mess, with pale faces and thin bodies. They frowned nervously and looked out from time to time.
"Huh~? How could anyone live in the Shaman Mansion after such a thing happened?
Moreover, wasn't this place occupied by the Qing army? How could people from the Ming Dynasty come in?"
Looking at the group of people, Wang Chao was full of curiosity.
At this moment, a young man in his twenties sitting near the middle asked a middle-aged man in his thirties in the center.
"General, are we really safe hiding here?"
Seeing that everyone around him turned their heads to look, the middle-aged man smiled, patted his shoulder and comforted him:
"Don't worry.
According to my observation, as long as there is no big noise, the blood snake and its weird followers will not come near here."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huh~, that's good, that's good!
Finally, we don't have to worry about being killed by those weird things all day long."
"Alas~, but we can only seek temporary peace.
Without food, we can't hold on for long."
As soon as these words came out, everyone around fell silent, looking outside the mansion with some despair and desire.
When will they be able to leave this ghost town?
After listening to the conversation of those people, Wang Chao couldn't help but frown slightly.
What is this situation?
What blood snake? What weird dependent?
Blood snake, Wang Chao roughly understood, should refer to the blood python.
But, what is a weird dependent?
But suddenly, Wang Chao seemed to have thought of something, showing a thoughtful look.
Weird dependent
Could it be that he was like the Qing army general who escaped, who was contaminated with weird blood mist?
Looking at the silent crowd, Wang Chao really wanted to go up and ask directly.
But that was obviously unrealistic.
The projection illusion in the underworld, after being questioned by him, would probably fall into that strange attack state instantly.
After a slight hesitation, Wang Chao's mind moved, and the surrounding strange energy quickly gathered towards him, condensing seals, magical powers, and practicing qi.
Originally, Wang Chao wanted to raise the energy in his body to the realm of magical powers.
However, when the strange energy in Wang Chao's body approached the realm of magical powers, the surrounding space and projection illusions instantly rippled like reflections in the water, looking unbearable.
Wang Chao had to stop the gathering of strange energy, and even dispersed some of it slightly.
He almost forgot that these underworld spaces that were not suppressed by the power of the city god could only have the power of the Qi training realm at most.
Even those projection illusions
Wang Chao looked thoughtful.
Perhaps, those projection illusions can also only withstand the power of the Qi training realm.
Shaking his head slightly, Wang Chao's mind instantly spread out, covering the entire Shaman Mansion, mobilizing the surrounding strange energy, and began to erode the projection illusions in it.
As his mind went deeper, a little bit of mysterious information began to emerge in Wang Chao's mind, and his magical power of creating the world was subtly subsidized and improved.
Finally, Wang Chao felt that his mind had suddenly broken through some kind of barrier and obstacle.
In an instant, Wang Chao's mind began to fall rapidly.
Countless lights quickly retreated, turning into a brilliant and mysterious passage, just like the legendary quantum tunnel and space passage.
It seemed like a moment, like ten thousand years, Wang Chao's mind suddenly woke up, and there was no brilliant light around, but a dilapidated manor, and the midday sun shone down, bringing a touch of warmth here.
Wang Chao looked up and looked forward, it was the group of people wearing Ming clothes.
At this time, they didn't seem to notice him, and they were still doing their own things.
Looking at himself, the strange air around him was full, although it was nearly twice as weak as the strange air gathered in the underworld, it was much stronger than last time.
Sensing carefully, there was no blood-colored python in the manor this time, but it was filled with a faint strange atmosphere.
On the contrary, Wang Chao sensed a faint special connection somewhere in the west of the manor.
The blood-colored python. Didn't it collapse and die?
Wang Chao couldn't help but smile faintly.
In an underground cave in the west of the city, a blood-colored snake as thick as a bowl suddenly raised its two heads, one man and one snake, looking towards the east.
"Hiss hiss hiss"
"My lord, come."
On the other side, after some sensing, Wang Chao's face showed a smile.
"Interesting, it seems that some strange changes have occurred"
But soon, Wang Chao suppressed all his thoughts and turned to look at the group of people wearing Ming clothes.
At this time, they stood up and walked out in twos and threes while talking and laughing.
"Boss, we must find enough food when we go out this time."
"Yes, Boss."
"Don't worry, I will definitely lead you to find enough food."
"General, we still need to check the surroundings to see if there are any followers of the blood snake."
"Yes, we really need to check carefully.
You, you, you, follow this general to patrol the surroundings, and the rest of you, all have to go to search for food."
Wang Chao watched the actions of the crowd and couldn't help laughing.
"Hehe, if your legs weren't shaking so badly, it would probably be more like it."
The cold and gloomy words were heard by the group, making their bodies stiffen and their mouths twitch uncontrollably.
That damn thing seemed to realize they'd discovered him.
In an instant, endless fear enveloped my heart.
It's really dead now.
Looking at those people whose legs were shaking like chaff, the leader, who was called the general, couldn't help but curse in his heart a waste.
Although his legs were trembling slightly, they were much stronger than others.
"Gudong!"
Swallowing secretly, he suppressed the fear in his heart, his brain whirled rapidly, and suddenly an idea flashed across his face, and he twitched the corners of his mouth and cursed.
"You guys, you just haven't eaten for two days. Are your legs shaking from hunger?"
After hearing his words, the others gradually came to their senses and spoke one after another.
"General, we are really hungry."
"Yes, my body has become weak and I can't stand any longer."
"Look at my legs, they're shaking like that, I'm really hungry."
"Tsk, your reaction is quite quick."
Wang Chao looked at the leader and sighed slightly.
“However, you should stay for now.
Otherwise, haha."
The legs that everyone had just prepared to lift froze once again, and they all turned to look at the leader.
Facing everyone's gaze, Zhang Zhaoyi felt his scalp numb.
Damn it, what can he do in the face of these ghosts?
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Zhaoyi's eyes flashed with determination.
This ghost thing in front of me seems to be able to communicate.
If that's the case, let's give it a try.
Having made up his mind, Zhang Zhaoyi turned around sharply with a stiff smile on his face.
"Hey, this ghost, Mr. Ghost
What orders do you have? Even if you give them to me, I am a small bannerman of Gaizhou Acropolis in the Ming Dynasty. I still have some abilities."
Zhang Zhaoyi raised his head and glanced at the Dynasty, and he felt endless fear in an instant, as if he was seeing an endless hell and abyss.
In an instant, Zhang Zhaoyi lowered his head and stared at his toes, never daring to look up again.
Feeling the sudden power of fear that was several times stronger on the Ming army's Xiaoqi in front of him, Wang Chao couldn't help but raise his brows.
what's the situation? You just looked at him and were so frightened?
Involuntarily, Wang Chao looked at his body again.
It doesn't seem like there's anything special about it.
Well, except for the wisps of weirdness emanating unconsciously.
"Hmm~?"
Chao Chao reacted fiercely.
Could it be because of the weirdness?
It seems that the influence of the evil spirit on people's consciousness far exceeds his estimate.
It seems that students should be more cautious about allowing students to go to the underworld for trials.
But at the same time, Dynasty also noticed something.
That is, in this world, my control over power has declined a bit, and I am actually exuding strange energy unconsciously.
Moreover, the strange energy has become more active, far less restrained than in the underworld.
Perhaps this is also one of the reasons why everyone's consciousness has been so greatly affected.
Although there are all kinds of thoughts and ideas in my heart.
However, Wang Dynasty still moved his mind, and instantly contained the strands of strange aura that were unconsciously emitted into his body, and at the same time separated a ray of consciousness to seal them all in his body.
Then, Wang Chao looked at the little flag and asked:
"What's your name? What happened to this city?"
"Ghost, sir."
Hearing his title, Wang Chao frowned slightly.
What the hell kind of name is this?
"Well you can call me Emperor Hades!"
Emperor of Hades?
Zhang Zhaoyi couldn't help but raise his eyelids, and when he caught a glimpse of Wang Chao's toes, he quickly lowered his eyes again.
But in his heart, huge waves have already set off.
The ghost in front of me, um, the Emperor of the Underworld, actually calls himself the Emperor of the Underworld.
Thinking about the situation when I saw him before, I felt like I saw the endless hell and the Nine Nether Abyss.
Maybe, the existence in front of you is really the Hades Emperor.
Thinking again about what happened in Gaizhou Acropolis during this period, maybe Emperor Hades came to this world just to solve the current situation?
For a moment, a touch of fire suddenly rose in his heart.
Perhaps, this is not only a crisis, but also a huge opportunity.
Involuntarily, his tone became a little more enthusiastic.
"Your Majesty the Underworld Emperor, my name is Zhang Zhaoyi, and he is a small flag officer of the Ming Dynasty Army."
"Well, tell me what's going on here?"
"Yes, Lord Hades."
Zhang Zhaoyi respectfully agreed, then paused, recalled what happened during this period, organized his words, and then said:
"About a month ago, Gaizhou Acropolis was captured by the Qing army.
Then, a giant bloody snake suddenly appeared here. It first massacred the Qing troops here, and then massacred the Qing troops who came here to support them. Only a few people survived."
As Zhang Zhaoyi narrated, Dynasty gradually gained an understanding of what happened here after he left.
After the bloody python slaughtered the Qing troops who came for support, it wandered around the city, spreading fear with its devious aura to maintain the balance of power in the body.
However, although the number of people in the city was large, they were relatively scattered, and the strength and body of the bloody python were constantly dissipating.
In the end, the military camp with a relatively concentrated population became its main target.
In addition, following the stories of the Qing troops who escaped, many Qing troops and generals have determined that there is a strange demonic snake in the Gaizhou Acropolis.
So, as the blood snake shuttled and raged, when people felt the cold breath, they instinctively thought of the blood snake.
In this way, there will always be someone who resonates with it at the end and sees the existence of the blood snake.
Then, there was a massacre.
After killing again and again, the Qing army finally gave up Gaizhou Weicheng. There was really no way to occupy and garrison it because of the existence of the blood snake.
However, they also blocked the entrance and exit of Gaizhou Weicheng at the same time, fearing that the people who left would attract the blood snakes in the city.
In this way, the people in Gaizhou Weicheng could only survive in the city.
However, even if the blood python would be discovered from time to time, and then attract a massacre, it would be supplemented by a powerful force.
But in the end, it still became only the thickness of a bowl.
But at this time, it did not shrink again.
It seems that the number of people in the city is now enough to maintain the balance of its power dissipation.
Moreover, when the people in the city were struggling to survive, they gradually discovered some rules.
That is the attack of the blood snake, and the blood snake needs to make sure that humans see it.
Therefore, the people in the city began to disguise themselves and pretend that they could not see the blood snake to avoid the attack of the blood snake.
At the very beginning, although some people in the city still suffered from time to time.
But overall, life has indeed improved a lot.
However, about ten days ago, some people who used the power of the blood snake suddenly appeared in the city.
They claimed that the blood snake was the willow fairy of the upper world, and those who were killed by the blood snake were those who disrespected and blasphemed the willow fairy.
And now, they have obtained the blessing of the willow fairy and controlled the strange air and the power of the willow fairy.
As long as the people in the city join them, they can get the protection of the willow fairy and will not be harmed again.
At the beginning, there were indeed many people who joined them with doubts.
And they can also protect the people from the attack of the blood snake through their own power.
After being covered by their power, it seems that the blood snake thinks that they are part of themselves, and then the blood snake will not attack.
However, later on, the minds of those people gradually became twisted and violent, killing people at will, and even began to sacrifice living people to the blood snake.
In this way, people began to gradually stay away from them.
In the end, they became a being that everyone wanted to kill.
However, they who mastered the strange energy and blood mist abilities were naturally not something that ordinary people could resist.
I don’t know how many people were killed by them during this period.
In the end, they had completely lost their minds, wandering around the entire city, killing humans they met and devouring the essence of flesh and blood.
They could even use their own power to pollute other people and turn them into blood snake followers.
As time passed, there were more and more blood followers, and the people in the city could only desperately look for places to hide and wait for death.
And Zhang Zhaoyi and his group were one of them.
