Chapter 35 Crit
"Every ten miles there should be a small team of frontier troops, ranging from a few to as many as 20 or 30. Each team should set up a beacon to keep watch over each other. Once the situation is discovered, the beacon will be lit, and the entire border will be warned."
The scout pondered: "We came all the way, but we didn't see a patrol team.
Sir, is there something wrong here? "
Xia Xin said: "There is a strong frontier defense, and you can't see the trail of the frontier troops along the way. There must be an abnormality. Is there a place where people live nearby?"
"There is a village more than ten miles east, and there should be a small group of border troops stationed for forty miles east. The city where the main force of the border army is located is a hundred miles away." The scout said.
Xia Xin: "Go to the nearest village to check first."
"No!"
The team re-mounted and left quickly.
A quarter of an hour later, outside a village in the Borderlands, Xia Xin Lema stopped.
The scouts in the team have entered the village to investigate the situation.
At this time, the morning light is beginning to bloom, and you can clearly see that there are more than ten houses in the village, which are built according to the terrain, and the heights are scattered.
The sky was bright, but the village was silent, and there was no smoke from the cooking.
The scouts who entered the village quickly came out of the village and reported: "There are corpses in the village, and they are all old people who died soon after."
When Xia Xin personally walked into a courtyard, he saw the corpse of an old man curled up in the house.
He walked closer and looked for a moment, then went to the next farmhouse.
There are also the remains of the old man in the house, and there are dead livestock in the animal pen.
There were sixteen corpses in the whole village, all of them old and livestock, none of them young.
"Like an enemy bandit, the old and infirm are killed, and the young men and women are kidnapped." The scout analyzed.
Xia Xin shook his head: "It's not a normal bandit looting the population, the Koreans have neither the courage to take the initiative to provoke me, Daqin, nor the means to break in, so that the border army can't even light the flames.
The two directions in and out of the village did not leave any traces.
And each corpse is skin and bones, withered flesh and blood, and broken when touched, indicating that the essence and blood in the body have been removed cleanly. Two of the corpses had hollow chests and their internal organs were pulled out. "
Xia Xin looked up at the mid-air: "The murderer's power is evil and powerful, did it come from the air?"
added: "Coming from Hanjing, he likes to eat human organs, and ingests essence and blood. Combined with these characteristics, the murderer is likely to be the eclipse teacher."
"How could it be so coincidental, when we first came to the border, the food phase teaching was one step ahead of us?" The scout frowned.
Xia Xin pursed his lips: "It's not a coincidence.
When the prince and the two deputy historians, Fan and Bai, were discussing the plan, they mentioned that we started from Xianyang and made a long-distance raid, and it was difficult to completely hide our traces. "
"Not to mention that other channels may also leak information."
The scout said: "So the eclipse sect received the news, and took the lead, and came to my Daqin to loot and harass."
Xia Xin said solemnly: "If it's really the eclipse, they are greedy for blood, and since they broke in, a village will never let them stop. Where is the nearest village, we will rush over there immediately."
The team set off again and moved laterally along the Daqin border.
On the chariot, Xia Xin suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared, the sound waves rolling like a thunderbolt from the blue sky.
One of the lieutenant generals following the chariot said in surprise: "The general invites the battle with a whistling sound. Do you want to start immediately with the people who teach the food phase? The deputy history of Baiyao has repeatedly told him to wait for him to come before acting."
"All the people from the eclipse sect have been killed, can't we hide on the side and let him come in and then withdraw?
If Vice-History Bai is held accountable, Ben will take it with all his strength. "
Xia Xin's voice became louder and louder and could be heard from far and near.
In the mid-air more than ten miles away, the eclipse teachers were hovering over another village at this time.
The black wind differentiated into strips of black aura, and spawned evil spirits between the virtual and the real, and hunted and killed the villagers in the village.
Those who are old and debilitated will shrink rapidly and die tragically once they are touched by black qi.
Young men, women or children will be bound by the black qi and lose their minds. Let the black qi lead them, fall into the black wind, and become captured prisoners.
On the wind group, the eclipse ghost king opened his mouth, and wisps of black gas were drawn into his mouth.
The living creatures in the village, their blood and essence were swept away by the black air, and they were swallowed up by them.
The messengers of Zhao and Han stood aside, looking on with a pale face on the evil deeds in the village.
The two of them knew about the ominous name of food and drink, but knowing it and seeing it with their own eyes are not the same feeling at all.
The mentality of the two messengers exploded: "These monsters really eat their mouths and swallow their flesh..."
At this moment, a thunderous roar resounded in the distance.
"The Qin people found our trail!"
The Han envoy shivered and looked in the direction where the roar came from.
"If you are besieged by the Qin army, it will be difficult to leave." Zhao Envoy also panicked.
The Ghost King looked at the two of them and mocked: "You two heard the voice of the Qin people inviting you to fight, and you are actually scared like this."
The envoy Han said in a hurry: "You have never seen a large-scale army confrontation, and you do not know the Qin soldiers. Go quickly."
The eclipse teaches everyone to laugh in unison: "Have you never seen the terrifying power of the suzerain to swallow thousands of living souls and change the world?"
The eclipse ghost king stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the direction where the whistling came from.
In the distance, a team of Qin troops in black armor had appeared at the end of the horizon, coming with lightning speed.
led the generals standing like a mountain on the galloping chariot.
"It's a team of less than 200 people." The members of the eclipse clergy looked down.
The messengers of Zhao and Han also secretly relieved, it would be good if it was not a large force of the Qin army...
Hoo!
The roar of Xia Xin on the chariot stopped abruptly, but the Ghost Head Hammer was thrown out of his hand and hit the black wind, rubbing against the air and making a low roar.
"I'll take this hammer."
An eclipse cleric stepped forward proudly, standing on the edge of the black wind, his abdomen swelled, and a ray of blood-colored airflow blew out of his mouth, rolling towards the ghost head hammer that broke through the air.
boom!
The blood-colored airflow was instantly penetrated, bursting and splashing.
The eclipse cultists were also affected, and with the screams, they turned over and fainted.
The Ghost Head Hammer spun around in the air and fell back into Xia Xin's hands.
"All will obey orders!
A chariot was given by the prince before he set off, just like the prince who came to supervise the battle in person, all the soldiers should fight bravely, and the **** war will come first. "
All will agree in unison.
And Xia Xin jumped up, and his body rushed upward like a cannonball to teach everyone about the eclipse.
"Looking for death!" The ghost king of the eclipse made a seal with his hands, and the villagers behind him were attacked by the black qi, and the villagers who were captured were rapidly shrinking, and the blood was eroded and absorbed by the black wind.
The black wind tossed, condensed a grimace, covered the sky, and opened his mouth.
There were countless resentful ghosts and evil spirits in their mouths, and they reached out and grabbed Xia Xin together.
At the same time, the power of the Ye Yufu tribe below intertwined, and a black bird totem rose in the air.
And Xia Xin was entrusted by the mysterious bird, and his breath was released, and he became one with it, as if he had received the strength of more than 100 soldiers.
He raised the ghost head hammer again, and there were thunder lights bursting out of the sky, attached to the hammer, and smashed head-on towards the ghost face evolved by the black wind.
This blow, which brought together the strength of nearly two hundred Ye Yufu generals, formed a critical strike that even the eclipse ghost king could not bear.
The black wind should be shattered by the hammer, and the resentful spirits scattered.
The eclipse ghost king's chest heaved and he choked out a mouthful of blood.
The disciples under his command jumped down from the air one after another and met the soldiers of Ye Yufu.
And in the sky, Xia Xin went straight to the ghost king.
At this moment, another whistle suddenly sounded from a distance, and a spell of light flew through the air.
