Tomb raiding: The awesome life that started from Ganggangyingzi

When Ji Qiankun and his two companions left the camp, they arrived at the campfire a hundred meters away.

The men looked grave and their faces were extremely grim, because in the firelight ahead, less than a hundred meters away, a force of no less than two hundred Yin cavalrymen stood motionless.

Leading the group was a general riding a tall horse, wearing heavy armor, and wielding a halberd. His body was surrounded by a swirling aura of yin energy, exuding an imposing presence.

Such a grand display caused the surrounding temperature to drop to freezing point, and a layer of frost to form on the grass and trees. Ji Qiankun and his two companions knew that they were likely in trouble today.

Although the Yin Cavalry lacked the intelligence of living people and behaved rather rigidly, their sheer numbers were far beyond what a few could withstand.

Just as both sides were staring at each other, a sinister shout rang out.

"Empress Dowager Chengtian has arrived..."

Then four burly men emerged from the darkness, carrying a strange-looking sedan chair.

Two older-style canes followed on either side of him, an old woman and an old man, both holding walking sticks.

However, there was only one skull, no smaller than a football, with eerie flames flickering in its two eye sockets.

The sedan chair of Empress Dowager Chengtian slowly came to a stop beside the Yin cavalry, and the general actually dismounted and saluted.

"Your subject, Yelü Xiezhen, greets the Empress Dowager."

The voice was stiff, hoarse, and sinister, yet it possessed a powerful and resonant quality.

"My dear minister, there's no need for such formalities. I merely wish to see what kind of traitors dared to destroy my palace and kill my personal guards and beloved generals."

A voice, full of authority yet tinged with chilling indignation, came from inside the sedan chair.

The old woman respectfully bowed to the Empress Dowager inside the sedan chair and said in a high-pitched voice:

"Your Majesty, it was these people who blew up your palace, but the boy who killed your personal guards and my Huang family should be in the village outside."

After we kill everyone here, we'll wipe out that entire village, leaving not a single chicken or dog alive.

"Hmph! These lowly barbarians from the south have destroyed my palace; they deserve to die! My dear minister, go and kill them for me!"

As the order was given from inside the sedan chair, the general responded and immediately mounted his horse.

"Your subject obeys the imperial decree."

Seeing that the Yin cavalry was about to charge, Ji Qiankun immediately drew his Tang sword from his back and charged forward without saying a word.

In the blink of an eye, a faint golden aura suddenly appeared on his body, even enveloping his longsword.

The general spurred his horse to intercept, but Ji Qiankun had no intention of fighting him. He flashed into the midst of the cavalry.

He needed to disrupt these monsters; otherwise, if they were organized and launched an attack, it would be a nightmare.

Seeing that his fifth uncle had made a move, Ji Haoran and Ji Tianyou quickly followed suit and attacked as well.

However, they did not possess any golden aura, though the same type of Tang sword did, albeit much weaker.

These golden flames are extremely harmful to the spirits; they are actually their vital energy.

Unlike Ji Haobo, whose qi and blood were formless and invisible, their qi and blood, due to their bloodline, appeared dazzling and stunning.

Surrounded by the Yin cavalry, Ji Qiankun charged left and right, his blade flashing, making it impossible for the general to catch up.

While cavalry is formidable, that power is based on charging into battle. In the current situation, things have become somewhat chaotic.

If these were all living people, they would definitely have the ability to adapt, but unfortunately they are not. The Yin Cavalry have little intelligence, which allowed Ji Qiankun to seize the opportunity.

Although he killed some in a short time, the general quickly brought the situation under control. Its intelligence was extraordinary, and it was no less than that of a living person.

"spread"

With a cold shout, the Yin cavalry immediately scattered, and a halberd whistled as it slashed down at Ji Qiankun.

The force was so great that the air itself emitted a sharp, piercing shriek, forcing Ji Qiankun to evade its attack and fall into a bitter struggle where he was suppressed.

Ji Haoran and Ji Tianyou were not much better off. Their strength was not as great as Ji Qiankun's, and they were struggling to cope with the encirclement and attack of the Yin cavalry.

Seeing that the three of them were being held back, the old woman and the old man also began to move, and they let out a sharp shriek.

"squeak…"

As the sound spread, countless weasels darted through the grass in the surrounding mountains and forests, surging towards the camp like a tide.

At the same time, hundreds of other spirits appeared and drifted past, mixed in with the others.

The soldiers, who had received orders long ago, had already set up defenses, with the first line positioned a dozen meters away from the campfire.

There was no other way; it was pitch black at night, and the only way to see clearly was by the light of the fire, which allowed us to see a range of about thirty meters.

Faced with the swarming weasels and those ghostly spirits, the soldiers opened fire wildly.

"Da da da…"

At the same time, at regular intervals, a soldier carrying a flamethrower would spew scorching flames at the ghosts.

Gunfire erupted everywhere, and flames danced wildly, turning the area into a scene of constant warfare.

Fortunately, these soldiers were from a special forces unit, and their purpose was to assist Bureau 94. Otherwise, ordinary soldiers would have been terrified to the point of collapse upon seeing those ghosts.

The battle here has reached a stalemate, and the weasel cannot break through the barrage of bullets;

As for those wraiths, they were stopped by the flames of the flamethrower, although it did not kill them very effectively.

However, some spirits perished as their yin energy was evaporated by the high temperature of the flames.

In view of this, the old woman and the old man stopped watching and, as a plume of black smoke spread out to conceal their figures, slowly approached the defensive line.

The soldiers were just ordinary people and had no idea that a crisis was about to strike.

About ten meters away from them, several eerie flames suddenly flew out, instantly exploding into scattered sparks of fire.

The anomaly happened so suddenly that some soldiers were caught off guard and engulfed by the sparks, instantly letting out shrill screams and turning to ashes in the blink of an eye.

This isn't some kind of magic; it's just phosphorescent fire collected by weasels. It burns at an extremely high temperature and cannot be extinguished by water.

The deaths of some soldiers created a breach in the defenses, and weasels began to swarm in.

The first line of defense quickly collapsed, and the remaining soldiers immediately retreated.

The second line of defense was at the junction of the firelight and the camp lights, where the visibility was better, so most people were on high alert there.

If we can't hold them off here, then we'll have no choice but to fight to the death in the camp.

The bullets rained down, becoming even denser, and the old woman and the old man dared not approach, and the battle once again reached a stalemate.

But the situation on the other side was not good; Ji Haoran and his group began to be injured.

Fortunately, the blood that flowed out restrained the Yin cavalry, preventing them from collapsing, but the excessive blood loss made their bodies weak.

Just as the two were filled with despair, a figure appeared, wearing a black hoodie, with fiery red flames rising from his body, and holding a straight knife.

His arrival greatly reduced the pressure on Ji Haoran and the other person, and they breathed a sigh of relief, but they weren't particularly happy.

Although the Zhang family arrived in time, they did not play a decisive role in the overall situation.

There were simply too many Yin cavalry appearing tonight, along with the overwhelming number of weasels; the situation remains far from optimistic.
