Screaming Cycle (Infinite Flow) - Chapter 289
Lishan is not too far away from Ji Lu and their current location. If they take the official road, they will be there in about four days.
But now the south of the Huanghe River is all in the hands of the red-haired devils, and Ji Tuan and others must not be able to drive on their way with integrity.
Now they are weak and weak, and the second young master of the Dong Family is also an important figure on the hunting list of the Saint Court. Even if Ji Lu and Ren Jianmo are strong, they don’t want to head-on with Saint Court’s elite combat power.
So several people re-planned the route based on the map, and decided to go along the mountain and avoid the main towns along the way for safety, but it would take at least twice as much time;
On the first night, five people and two corpses stayed in the cave overnight, planning to leave at dawn.
In this “world”, Xia Country is in midsummer, and the highest temperature during the day is more than 30 degrees. Because it is in the mountains, the temperature at night is still relatively cool, and a jacket is needed at night.
Five people take turns to watch the night, plus two living corpses that don’t need sleep, but they can guarantee a minimum of vigilance.
In an unfamiliar and crisis-ridden environment, Ji Thrush sleeps very lightly.
He leaned against the entrance of the cave, half-asleep and half-awake, closing his eyes and squinting for a while, feeling movement around him, opened his eyes, brushed and sat up, his eyes were so clear that he had never fallen asleep.
Dong Jing, who passed by him, was taken aback.
Even in the middle of the night, the teenager still wore the clothes of a young woman, but the two braids were untied and tied loosely behind his head, which seemed more heroic.
Dong Jing didn’t expect Ji Yu to wake up, and smiled embarrassedly, “Wake you up?”
“No.”
Ji Yu naturally lowered his head and looked at the watch on his wrist-it was an important item that only those who participated in the show could see. The flashing cursor was on the far left of the progress bar, almost stuck to the starting point. It means that their experience in this “world” has just begun, but it is worthwhile to be happy that the color of the cursor is white, which proves that they are still safe.
“It’s your turn to watch the night?”
He asked.
“Um.”
The second young master of the Dong family nodded, “It’s almost ugly, I’ll replace Zhuzi.”
Ji Yuan looked back at Ren Jianmo.
The long-haired young man lay on his side facing the stone wall without seeing his face.
But Ji Lu really knew his family Ren Damei too well.
In the “Peach Blossom Spring”, when the two of them were feeling strong, they got along day and night and slept in a bed almost every night. Ji Xiaoniao had never seen Ren Jianmo really sleeping.
At that time, Ji Tuan felt very strange, but out of respect for his lover, he never asked why the other party was like this.
Thinking about it now, Ren Jianmo’s vigilance is actually very high.
As the top master in “Peach Blossom Spring”, climbing alone to the realm of the recognized strongest person, he will never allow himself to lose his guard, even in a safe environment, he will not sleep soundly in front of others, let alone In a “world” of SS level difficulty.
Ji Shun did not disturb Ren Jianmo.
When he stood up, he followed Dong Jing and walked out of the cave.
The young servant named “Zhuzi” was watching the cat at the entrance of the cave. Two living corpses stood beside him, standing straight.
In order to hide their whereabouts, they did not dare to light a fire, and the only lighting they could rely on was the shining galaxy in the sky.
Dong’s second major general Zhuzi switched in, sat on the ground, and patted his side at the same time.
Ji Shu also sat down.
As the second son of a family of cultivation, Dong Jing is much more easy-going than Ji Tuan originally thought.
He doesn’t have the squeamish energy of the son-in-law, not only eats and lives with the servants, sleeps in the wilderness, but also takes the initiative to ask for a rotation in the middle of the night, which can be regarded as quite hard.
Ji Xiaoniao’s favorability for Dong Jing silently increased by ten points.
“Specially accompany me to watch the night…”
Young Master Dong Er hugged his knees and looked at Ji Shu. The starlight reflected the small smile on the corner of the boy’s lips, “Do you have something to ask me?”
Ji Yu gave each other a smile.
He didn’t answer Dong Jing’s question directly, instead he turned his gaze away and moved to the two living corpses standing straight behind them.
The two corpses look like two javelins. They are even more stiff than standing in a military position. There is no half-line curvature of the knees and waist. The chin is slightly raised, and the eyes are wide open. A spell with red letters on a yellow background is almost indistinguishable from a living person.
Ji Yu stretched out his hand and gently squeezed the arm of one of the corpses.
The limbs under the sleeves are soft, the joints are not stiff, even with a trace of human body warmth, and the touch feels like alive.
“I remember you said that anyone killed by the weapons of the holy court soldiers can’t become a living corpse, right?”
Ji Xiaoniao turned to Dong Jing, “Then what happened to your two servants and the people who jumped into the col under your control before?”
Young Master Dong Er smiled again when he heard the words, but this time there was a little bitterness in his smile.
“Our Dong family has lived in Xijiang for many years and we intermarried with local clans, so we naturally understand some secrets of Western Xinjiang.”
He pointed to himself, “Like my great-grandmother, she is a Miao woman.”
With that said, the young man stood up, raised his hand and gently wiped the door of one of the corpses.
I don’t know what he did. The corpse immediately looked like a puppet with a broken line. The knees were soft, and he fluttered forward. With the door facing down, the body fell to the ground.
The other corpse next to him was still motionless, standing straight, unaware of the “companion” abnormality.
Ji Yu was taken aback, and immediately jumped up.
“it’s okay no problem.”
Dong Jing quickly explained, spreading out his hands, revealing what he had in his palm.
It was a big fleshy bug, about knuckles long, and dark gray all over, except that there were two snail-like tentacles on each side of the head and tail that were white, and they were still synchronizing with the worm’s squirming rhythm. Stretch out.
“This is a type of Miao Family Gu technique in Western Xinjiang.”
The second master of the Dong family explained:
“The servants I brought out this time are all planted with Gu worms. Not only can they ensure that they will not betray me, but I can also know their location through Gu worms regardless of life or death.”
As he said, he knelt down and broke the face of the fallen servant.
Then Ji Xuan saw that Dong Jing stuffed the squirming gray worm into the corpse’s mouth.
About two seconds later, the corpse shuddered suddenly, and the whole body twitched twice like an electric shock.
The second young master of Dong’s family moved his fingers together, pinched a magic trick, and whispered “Get up!”
The corpse really turned over and sat up, his knees twisted like a spring into an angle that a living person would never easily make, and jumped up on the spot.
“Look, that’s it, what I control is actually the undead Gu worm in their body.”
Dong Jing smiled and said, “If you don’t have these Gu worms, even my spells can’t control them.”
“I see.”
Ji Shu nodded.
He said that this “world” is not only very similar in geography and history to his original world, but also in humanities.
There are also Miao people in Xijiang here, who are good at using Gu worms as in the legend, and there are people who really know how to drive corpses.
Young Master Dong Er asked the corpse to stand by his side and sat down again.
Then he turned his gaze to the direction of the cave.
“You and your brother…”
Dong Jing said as if chatting:
“You two, don’t you have a good relationship?”
Ji Lu didn’t expect that as soon as the boy spoke, he would mention Ren Jianmo, and subconsciously looked towards the entrance of the cave.
In the darkness, he could vaguely see Ren Jianmo’s back lying on his side, his actions were the same as before.
“Okay……”
Ji Xiaoniao pursed his lips, “My brother is more unique.”
Dong Jing let out a very soft laugh, noncommittal.
He did not continue to entangle on the topic of the feelings of the two brothers, but instead said:
“Actually I envy you.”
The boy said: “Because you both are very strong.”
He turned his head and stared at the two corpses standing behind him, with a faint sadness in his eyes, and laughed with a hoarse voice characteristic of the changing voice period:
“In this way, at least I can go back…to your division.”
Ji Shu: “…”
Dong Jing constricted the smile on her face:
“I am the best of the younger generation in my family. At the age of twelve, I had already surpassed my eldest brother in corpse control, and I often thought that I was invincible in the world… I didn’t know myself until I left the Dong family. It’s just a frog at the bottom of the well.”
He lowered his head and shook his right hand in the air, “Even the person who came out with me can’t even bring it back…”
“You fought with the people in the holy court, right?”
Ji Tuan sits upright with a serious expression:
“Can you tell me about their intelligence?”
The boy nodded:
“We have fought those red-haired devils three times in total.”
Dong Jing told Ji Lu that the Dong family in Xijiang received a distress letter from old friends in the rivers and lakes, saying that the Xiyi people went east in the name of “jihad” and invaded Xia country from the southeast coast. All the way north, they had already occupied half of the country and burned. Killing, looting, and abuse, the lives are overwhelmed, and the people do not live.
Although the imperial army struggled to resist, because there were a large number of magicians in the Xiyi army, they often used the “Holy Light” for blessing on the battlefield. Even the most common infantry soldiers were far more powerful than the soldiers of the Xia Dynasty. The resistance army was retreating steadily, and had to rely on the Huanghe sky moat to maintain the front line, seeing that even the last line of defense could not be defended.
So the Dong family sent Dong Jing to use the corpse control technique to create an immortal army of zombies to support the imperial army.
But the second young master of the Dong family traveled all the way and soon discovered that the “Holy Light” was precisely the nemesis of the Dong Family’s secret technique. As long as the corpse died under the holy light weapon, he could no longer be controlled by him.
As a last resort, he could only take his servants all the way to Lishan, intending to rob the people buried in the tomb of the former court.
Along the way, Dong Jing and his party have encountered three waves of chasing and killing.
The first two visits were only ordinary Saints sergeants, and they used ordinary weapons blessed by the Holy Light.
In fact, the servants accompanying the Dong family were not bad at fighting. The first two waves of soldiers were killed by themselves.
But the holy court quickly sent a third wave of chasing troops-a small team of elite paladins.
The combat effectiveness of the Paladin squad is not at the same level as the previous two waves, and Young Master Dong Er almost died before he took the initiative.
“I think those red-haired devils…know where we are.”
Dong Jing touched his chin:
“On this road, no matter which road we take, or how carefully we hide our whereabouts, it will take two or three days for those Xiyi lackeys to find us accurately.”
He looked at Ji Shu:
“I suspect that the red-haired devils must have some kind of tracking spell that we haven’t noticed yet!”
