Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 326: Night Attack

April 29th, the Rat Day clashes with the Horse, and the evil is in the south, so everything will be good.

On a desolate land, a team below was walking slowly in the yellow sand desert like hardworking ants.

"It's been a long time since I felt so relaxed like now!"

Luo Bingzhong was lying on an ox cart made of rocks, looking up at the sky, feeling quite relaxed.

He looked around at the strange ox cart below him and couldn't help but admire him: "Brother Lin, your skills are really admirable. You can actually turn a lifeless object into a stone ox that can pull a cart. It really helps a lot!"

Now all the soldiers of Zhenxi Army were lying on wooden boards, pulled by stone oxen. Although the road was a bit bumpy, it really made them feel a lot more relaxed.

"This stone cow has no spirit. If it is far away from me, it will turn into an ordinary stone again. It is not a big trick, just a small magic." Lin Beixuan explained.

All of these ox carts were created by him through the transformation of his divine essence into Qi. In essence, they were supported by just a wisp of his Qi.

Some of it is similar to the methods of Xun Shen, but it is much cruder than those used by Xun Shen. It can only barely maintain the appearance of an ox, and is not as vivid as the other party's enlightenment.

"That's clever enough!"

Luo Bingzhong shook his head and smiled bitterly, with a hint of envy in his tone: "Brother Lin, I don't think you know that in this world, there are many strange and tricky tricks, but most of them are just tricks to turn life into death, which are far inferior to your methods."

"I have only seen your skills in some secular temples. They are usually used for simple guarding, such as lamp-carrying oil boys, oil core butterflies, etc."

"This is the first time I've seen something like this used to carry people and things!"

Luo Bingzhong leaned his head on the cow's butt. The cow's butt was raised to the ground, but he did not feel any discomfort. Instead, he seemed quite comfortable.

"It's a pity that these stone cows are just stone cows after all. If we can transform them into spiritual war horses, it will be much easier for us to achieve great things in the future."

"Cavalry is always the sharpest blade on the battlefield."

Lin Beixuan smiled when he heard this, and thought to himself - you haven't seen the development of the evil spirits in Southeast Asia. They have already used firearms and even developed bullets specifically for dealing with evil spirits.

The military system of the old era is nothing more than a moving target in the face of the firepower of the new era.

However, he did not intend to tell Luo Bingzhong about these things for the time being. He would wait until Luozhou was captured.

At that time, he will add firearms-related configurations to the existing arms.

Today's secular world is somewhat similar to the period of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

The imperial court was corrupt and incompetent. Although it was the first country to develop firearms such as the flintlock, it gave up using them due to various problems.

In the end, doing this would actually benefit those people from Southeast Asia.

They brought the firearms developed by the previous dynasties back to their own country, and solved some problems left over from the firearms through inventions and improvements. With this, their national strength increased greatly, and finally they turned around to threaten the previous dynasties, occupied the two states of the previous dynasties through various means, plundered the wealth of the two states of Jiang and Min, and used the longevity cream to erode the spirit of the people.

Those Nanyang people really want to wipe out the nation of Lichao from the root.

Lin Beixuan could even guess what would happen to the prefectures and counties occupied by the evil spirits from Southeast Asia.

"Don't worry, there is still time for everything. I don't think those officials will just sit there and watch the situation." Lin Beixuan sighed softly.

"And the most important point is that the secular world and the real world are currently merging. There are too many variables in the future, and it is hard to predict what will happen in the end."

While Lin Beixuan was thinking, he heard Luo Bingzhong holding his hand and saying, "When our Zhenxi Army arrives at your territory, we will definitely help you train the new recruits and ensure that they can form a reliable fighting force within a month."

"Then I would like to thank General Luo here!" Lin Beixuan responded with a fist salute.

The two chatted while they were on the road, while Xi Xuan walked at the end of the team with four ferocious-looking zombies.

"My Lord, you must not be so reckless in the future and fight the enemy without caring about your own safety. Leave the matter of fighting the enemy to us."

The female Red Evil followed behind Xi Xuan at a distance of half a body, and advised him: "If you die too many times, it will have a great impact on your body. The most obvious one is that it will easily cause you to fall into confusion and madness, and you will be unable to control yourself."

"You don't want to wait until you meet the mistress and find that you have no memory of anything, do you?"

Xi Xuan lowered his head and listened quietly, but held tightly in his hand the booklet that carried his memories.

The female Red Evil continued: "Your ability is very special. No matter how strong the enemy is, you can forcibly improve to the same level as the opponent. It is very terrifying."

"But you also have a fatal flaw, which is that you don't know any magic or martial arts, and you can only rely on brute force to defend against the enemy. As a result, you are still no match for the opponent in the same realm."

"Then what should I do?" Xi Xuan asked, moving his eyes.

"Piaohong and I will teach the master the magic, and Baimang and Qingcang will help the master master martial arts." The female Hongsha said hurriedly.

"If you learn what we teach you, you won't have to worry about the enemy's strange tactics in the future."

Xi Xuan was silent for a while after hearing this, then nodded: "Okay, I'll trouble you guys in the future."

"It's not hard. This is all we should do. Only when our lord becomes strong can we survive." The white-haired villain Bai Mang said excitedly.

What it said was true. These zombies, which had been infected by Xi Xuan's aura and become stronger, were closely related to Xi Xuan. Once anything happened to Xi Xuan, they would die as well.

Bai Mang looked ahead, at the figure walking at the front of the team.

Since this person came, everything seems to have gotten better, even these zombies have changed.

……

As the sun sets, the last ray of sunlight in the sky fades away, and the whole world falls into darkness.

As the cold wind blew away the sand, voices that did not belong to humans began to appear.

Wu Huo stood on the top of Bi County. After the ray of sunlight disappeared, in the last ray of light, he saw the starving ghosts rushing towards him like a wave.

Seeing this scene, Wu Huo's heart suddenly sank and goose bumps appeared on his body.

The starving ghosts, as densely packed as a swarm of locusts, can awaken a sense of fear deep in one's soul.

"Too much!"

"There are more starving ghosts than those who attacked Bi County yesterday!"

Wu Huo sucked in a breath of cold air, and the veins on his two big hands that were supporting the top of the city wall were exposed, and the joints were pale.

These starving ghosts jumped and ran in the darkness, their figures looked even more hideous and terrifying in the dim light, their shriveled skin stuck to their bones, their sunken eyes emitted a faint green light in the night, their fangs were sharp, and low and shrill roars came from their throats.

These roars merged together, creating a terrifying wave of sound that penetrated the sky and earth of the night.

As the first scattered rays of moonlight illuminated the earth, the starving ghosts' movements became faster, as if driven by an invisible force, and pounced straight forward.

Wu Huo puffed up his chest and instantly drew out the long sword from his waist, his palms full of sweat.

He yelled, "Form a formation!!"

"Zheng..."

Long swords were unsheathed, the cold blades combined with the chilly moonlight filled the air with murderous intent.

Behind Wu Huo, there were tens of thousands of soldiers lined up in neat rows under the city wall. They seemed to have been waiting under the city wall for a long time, with their brows frowned and ready for battle.

Everyone's breathing was very heavy, and many people's hands were even shaking involuntarily. The drums in their chests beat out a rhythm, which was the sound of the strong desire for survival and the fear of death intertwined together.

However, despite this, no one chose to retreat, because they had no way to retreat, and their only chance of survival was to defend the city.

If they flee from the city in all directions, they will die faster.

Ahead is a tightly closed city gate, which is the first line of defense.

Move your eyes upward.

Five hundred elite soldiers armed with swords and guns stood on the city wall.

There are captains who previously led the training of new recruits, as well as new recruits who have achieved good training results and have extraordinary skills.

They are the second line of defense and the most important one.

Standing on the top of the city wall, they will face the first wave of starving ghosts.

"Old Xing, do you think we can live to see the sunrise tomorrow?"

Zhang Luo tightly gripped the long knife in his hand, turned his head and said to Xing Liang beside him.

"Yes!" Xing Liang answered without thinking.

"But hundreds of us died yesterday." Zhang Luo looked bitter and lowered his head to look at the wound on his wrist.

That was caught by the starving ghost.

Not long after Lin Beixuan left, they had not been training for long when they were attacked by a large wave of starving ghosts one night. The number of starving ghosts increased every night afterwards.

At first the patrolling ghost soldiers were able to resist, but the number of starving ghosts was too large, and it was inevitable that they would escape from the cracks and jump into the crowd, causing a lot of casualties.

Among them, there are quite a few gluttons and nightmare monsters, whose strength is equivalent to that of humans at the level of summoning gods, and are extremely difficult to deal with.

The Taochan has a huge body with thick skin and tough flesh, while the Yanchan has strange methods that make it hard to guard against, causing them a lot of trouble.

The strong players in the team were all sent to deal with the Tao Minions and Yan Minions, which caused the formation of the new recruits who had not been trained for long to be scattered. The appearance of a random hungry ghost could disrupt the defensive formation they had set up.

This is also the reason why hundreds of them died in the past few days.

"After so many lessons, you should have known that running away is useless. Our only way out is to kill all the starving ghosts that appear before us."

Xing Liang held the knife to his chest, his eyes firm and sharp.

Zhang Luo sighed and imitated Xing Liang's knife-holding gesture, holding the long knife in front of his chest.

"Roar!!"

"Shout!!!"

……

The sounds of the starving ghosts were getting closer and closer, and everyone could already hear the sounds of running and noise outside the city.

"Boom, bang, bang..."

The starving ghosts in the front banged against the city gate, and dust and gravel kept falling from the gaps in the gate.

Through the slightly opened window, one could see pairs of green eyes passing by quickly outside.

"coming!!"

Everyone's heartbeat was quickening, and the starving ghosts outside the city wall began to scratch the city gate frantically like a pack of hungry and ferocious wolves.

The starving ghosts at the back gathered together and pressed those at the front down. Gradually, the pile of starving ghosts became higher and higher, like crazy and irrational zombies in a biochemical movie, with their hideous hands on the top of the city wall.

"kill!!!"

Seeing this, Wu Huo raised his sword and roared, then pounced on the first starving ghost who climbed up to the top of the city wall like a wild beast.

With the general leading the way, the rest of the people felt a sense of ruthlessness in their hearts.

Men are the creatures that are most easily infected by emotions, especially when many men gather together to do something. Emotions are like water in a cup, and only a slight movement will make the water ripple.

"kill!"

The swords danced in the moonlight, reflecting a captivating brilliance. Five hundred elite soldiers guarded the top of the city, trying their best to resist the attack of the starving ghosts.

There were also people waiting on the steps on both sides. If any of the people guarding the city walls were unfortunately killed, they would immediately fill the gap.

Under the disaster, even Liu Shimao and others who originally had ill intentions towards Lin Beixuan had to passively work together and abandon his previous conspiracies and calculations.

"Squeaky..."

The city gate began to make noises as if it could not bear the heavy weight. Finally, after another severe collision outside the gate, the city gate that Bicheng had defended for several days was finally destroyed and collapsed.

As the city gate fell, pairs of hungry and ferocious eyes lit up outside the dark city gate.

Countless starving ghosts rushed in through the narrow city gate like a black tide, with their mouths wide open and sharp claws open, and pounced forward without any hesitation at the long swords that were chopped towards them.

Xing Liang took a deep breath, and the gate of the mansion appeared behind him.

It was a prison-like mansion, not very big, with two red lanterns like eyes hanging in front of the door, from which a sinister wind blew out at an angle.

"bring it on."

Xing Liang slowly raised the long knife in his hand upwards and pressed his elbows and arms back, like the chopping posture of an executioner about to strike.

"Now that you're here, no one can leave."

Like Xing Liang, there were many people who had a master and had learned the ways of the martial arts world on their own. Now they no longer hid their strength and showed it off without hesitation.

The phantoms of mansions appeared in the dense waves of starving ghosts, exuding a unique charm that belonged to the city and the world. Among them, there were even a few masters in the realm of summoning gods who had summoned gods to possess them.

outside the city.

Tens of thousands of ghost soldiers are not idle at this moment. It can be said that they are the main force to stop the wave of starving ghosts tonight.

They are responsible for diluting the power of the starving ghosts entering the city from outside and blocking most of the gluttons and nightmare ghosts here.

At this moment, the two Yinbing generals Wang Chao and Ma Han were already blood-thirsty, facing a Tao Minor and a Nightmare Minor respectively.

The Tao and Yan minions they faced seemed to be the leaders of the Tao and Yan minions who attacked Bi County this time. Their strength had actually reached the level of summoning gods. If calculated using the ghost system, they were equivalent to two monsters.

But they are still one step away from being monsters, and strictly speaking they can only be considered evil spirits.

"What is going on? Why have the starving ghosts been attacking us crazily these days as if they had received orders?"

Ma Han gritted his teeth to resist the attack of the Tao minions in front of him, and took the opportunity to look behind the Tao minions. Under the faint moonlight shrouded by gray clouds, he saw the dense figures of the starving Tao minions.

Among those starving ghosts, there was a figure with extremely long legs and a bloody body standing and looking in its direction.

Just one glance and Ma Han felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.
