Chu Tianxing punched his fists slowly. When the fists were in motion, his muscles and bones all over his body made faint rumbles like grinding, and he said leisurely with a calm expression:
"Well, I've seen it."
Xue Ziwei was a little nervous and clenched her hands into fists:
"So what was it that passed last night? It couldn't be a ghost, could it?"
Chu Tianxing laughed and said:
"Ziwei, you are not afraid of ghosts, are you?
"As the third-generation disciple of Dianyin Tathagata, isn't it your special skill to practice the magical skills of the Tathagata's lineage and transcend ghosts and ghosts?"
Xue Ziwei said confidently:
"My line of kung fu has a strong restraint effect on evil spirits and other foreign demons.
"But I'm a girl!
"Isn't it natural for girls to be afraid of ghosts?"
Chu Tianxing said:
"Okay, you're right.
"Based on the current situation, there should indeed be 'ghosts' in this world.
"It's not the ghosts here. It may not be the same thing as the ghosts we usually recognize. They have physical existence, and they may be more similar to the legendary zombies."
Xue Ziwei asked curiously:
"Then, will the ghosts here also suck blood and eat people like zombies?"
Chu Tianxing said:
"This... After I finish punching this time, let's go and see the cavalrymen I killed yesterday."
After finishing the Bone Forging Chapter, Chu Tianxing wiped off his sweat with a towel, went back to the cave, packed his luggage into the brass ring, and, together with Xue Ziwei, plundered towards the position where he killed the cavalry yesterday.
It didn't take long before the two arrived at their destination.
"I smashed the heads of five cavalrymen yesterday. The bodies of the other cavalrymen are relatively intact."
Looking at the five frozen headless corpses on the ground, Chu Tianxing said slowly:
"The relatively complete corpses are gone, only these five headless corpses are left...Ziwei, tell me, why?"
Xue Ziwei pursed her lips and pointed to a mark on the snow.
"Here, there used to be a corpse lying here. Now, the corpse is gone, there are traces of hands supporting it, and in front of the traces of the corpse lying, there are new footprints..."
While speaking, she simulated the situation at that time in her mind.
A corpse lying quietly suddenly sat up on its back, put its hands on the ground, stood up slowly, took big strides, and walked forward.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help shivering.
Looking at the marks left by the disappearing corpses around, he murmured:
"All the intact corpses have become 'ghosts'?"
"Not bad." Chu Tianxing nodded:
"The five headless corpses have no abnormalities, they have maintained the same appearance as when they died yesterday, and there are no signs of gnawing on their bodies.
"It means that the ghosts here don't eat people—at least they don't eat corpses.
"The intact corpses disappeared, and there were signs of getting up and walking around on their own, indicating that they all became 'ghosts'.
"It seems that the 'ghosts' in this world have the ability to transform corpses into their own kind."
He looked at the direction of the large footprints and said:
"The direction these ghosts are going is exactly the direction that the cavalry team came from yesterday. According to this reasoning, the cavalry team yesterday may be scouts who came here specifically to investigate the movements of the 'ghosts'."
Xue Ziwei was surprised:
"Then we killed all the scouts, wouldn't those ghosts who passed by last night not be found?
"Then if these ghosts enter the human territory and create more ghosts...
"Isn't this our sin?"
Chu Tianxing disagrees:
"Those scouts are looking for death, but they can't blame us."
In fact, according to the information Serena obtained from reading her memory, most of the main members of these troops who serve in the extreme north to guard against the "Winter Ghost" are scumbags and villains who have committed serious crimes.
They should have been sentenced to death, but they were dispatched to the extreme north just out of waste utilization considerations to prevent the annual "winter ghost" disaster.
Although the middle and high-ranking generals in the entire Far North Legion can be regarded as normal people, there are also some frustrated people who just failed in the struggle and were exiled here, as well as volunteers who voluntarily came to defend with noble feelings, but such people are a minority after all. .
Like yesterday's scouting team, none of them were good people, they were all habitual offenders with numerous crimes.
The reason why he didn't become a deserter was because his body was branded with an indelible spell. Once he escaped from the extreme north, he would immediately die from the spell.
So no matter how reluctant they are, they can only guard the extreme north honestly, and obey orders to do some extremely dangerous sentry work.
However, this does not mean that they will become good people.
They reveal their villainous nature when given the chance.
Of course, such details, Chu Tianxing can't tell easily.
After all, on the surface, like Xue Ziwei, he is a stranger from another world who has no information source, so he can only take Xue Ziwei and slowly deduce based on the clues.
Chu Tianxing had no feeling about killing those scouts, and Xue Ziwei didn't care about their life and death at first—although she is a Buddhist disciple, the Dianyin Tathagata lineage has never avoided killing, and killing enemies in self-defense is a matter of course.
But not avoiding killing and not feeling guilty for killing enemies in self-defense does not mean that she can turn a blind eye to certain disasters that may lead to the loss of innocent lives.
"Heavenly."
Xue Ziwei clasped her hands together and made a prayer:
"Let's go and see!
"Although these scouts deserve to die, if those 'ghosts' hurt innocent people because of their death... I will always feel a little bit sorry."
