Weird cultivation of immortality starts with possessing a mysterious book

"The twenty-third corpse."

After retracting the long knife stained with dark red blood and using his true energy to drain away the blood, Gu Xing looked at the corpses on the ground and thought to himself.

After temporarily joining the team, they tracked the corpses with great success.

Moreover, everyone in the team was very strong. When they encountered a corpse, they almost chopped melons and vegetables. They swarmed up and chopped the corpse into pieces.

Of course, there are naturally a lot of injuries. After all, there is almost more than one corpse every time we encounter it.

Moreover, without them actively looking for it, the corpses almost swarmed around them.

This situation made Shan Shaoyu and others suspicious, but they could not guess the reason for this change.

Gu Xing was thoughtful, but did not express his guess.

It's probably about them after all.

Either him or Chen Erniu.

Of course, he couldn't judge the specific situation.

In addition, Gu Xing also discovered some problems along the way.

The soldiers in this team are very skilled in various martial arts, and their styles are very similar to those of the corpses.

In this regard, Gu Xing did not pretend not to know, but asked directly.

Shan Shaoyu didn't hide anything, and said bitterly after being silent for a while.

"These are our brothers. They unfortunately got lost while fighting the blood mist. In the end, they turned into corpses and ran to the Zhennan Pass to help the blood mist spread its power."

"What about the others without armor?" Gu Xing asked curiously.

"Most of those are practitioners from Zhennanguan, and they are almost all guys who want to make a fortune in the chaos." Shan Shaoyu was a little disdainful of these people.

Just like the wilderness hunters, there are also many guys in Zhennan Pass who do not care about life and death just to make a fortune.

Because there are often strange groups attacking Zhennanguan, but they cannot capture it, so they can only leave countless corpses and retreat.

Most of the materials on the strange corpses will fall into the hands of the Zhennan Army, but a lot of them can also leak into the hands of these guys.

Even though there are very few materials, almost all of them are valuable because they come from outside the Great Zhou and are scarce.

Of course, it is impossible for these guys not to pay the price. They also need to assist the Zhennan Army in guarding the city, so that they can have a chance to get their hands on these spoils.

It's just that this assistance is also watery, and many of them are sneaky guys, which is why Shan Shaoyu is so disdainful.

I was working my ass off, but someone was paddling next to me, watching, and finally came to make a fortune. Who would be angry if I saw this?

There were also many powerful people among the practitioners, so the Zhennan Army could not bear to expel them.

After all, with them here, the soldiers can sacrifice less.

In constant exchanges, Gu Xing also had an initial impression of Zhennanguan.

Although it is a border crossing, it can also be said to be a place of opportunity.

For the children of big families, there is no benefit at all.

But for ordinary practitioners, it is a place where a carp can jump over the dragon gate and soar into the sky.

Needless to say, you can make a lot of money just by fishing for a weird material.

The most important thing is that the Zhennan Army also has a military merit system.

The military merit system is not only available to soldiers, it is also provided to practitioners, but there are some restrictions and restrictions, but in fact it is not much different.

Practitioners can obtain military merit by killing weirdos, and exchange them for various skills and techniques that are only available within the Great Zhou Dynasty, as well as cultivation resources and even heavenly materials and earthly treasures for breakthroughs.

For ordinary practitioners, this is something more worthy of their pursuit than wealth.

Therefore, many people were attracted to help guard Zhennanguan.

Gu Xing was not interested in the dispute between the Zhennan Army and the casual cultivators.

What he cares about is when will this blood mist attack end.

Faced with this problem, Shan Shaoyu just shook his head.

"The blood mist is very special. We don't know much about it. We haven't seen its body, and we don't even know its strength. The so-called death level is only a rough assessment of it."

"Its ability that has been exposed so far is similar to what you see now. It can spread endless mist. In the mist, it can control the corpses of various creatures, whether they are human or strange. It can even retain Part of their strength in life.”

"And this attack, it brought countless strange things and caused heavy losses to Zhennan Pass."

"This is also the reason why the power of the blood mist has invaded Zhennan Pass, and only our team was sent here."

"In order to deal with this attack, there are no more manpower available in Zhennan Pass."

After listening to his words, Gu Xing was a little silent.

This is not good news.

The blood mist is coming fiercely, and naturally it cannot retreat easily.

What's more, Zhennan Pass can't even find the body of the blood mist, let alone kill it.

This made Gu Xing a little worried. If he wanted to leave Zhennanguan now, he didn't know how long it would take.

In the end, he could only helplessly sigh in his heart and tell himself to take it one step at a time.

Next, naturally, continue hunting the corpses.

Corpses fell into pieces under their hands.

In the process, Gu Xing also discovered that the scarlet in the mist was slowly fading, and the smell of blood was almost inaudible.

The fog will disappear soon, he thought.

Finally, after killing another corpse, the surrounding fog suddenly changed, and the scarlet color disappeared completely, turning into the gray fog that Gu Xing saw at first.

Seeing this, Shan Shaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense mind relaxed. Then he said to Gu Xing.

"Those scarlet mist are the most critical. Without the scarlet mist, these gray mist will be like rootless duckweed and will dissipate automatically soon."

"What about these corpses in the mist? I remember that their strength is not very high. Do they need to be removed?"

As soon as these words came out, Shan Shaoyu's excited mood dimmed instantly, and then he sighed and said.

"Those corpses are from nearby villages."

"Village?"

Although he had already guessed, Gu Xing was still surprised.

Shan Shaoyu continued.

"There are several villages near Zhennanguan. Almost all the people in them were lost in the blood mist."

Speaking of this, Shan Shaoyu fell into silence.

But without him continuing, Gu Xing could guess the result. Otherwise, where did those corpses in the gray mist come from?

Time passed in silence.

Not long after, the gray mist dissipated, revealing an unfamiliar scenery.

The surroundings were very quiet, and there should be something strange in the wilderness. It was not known whether they were dead or escaped. They did not encounter any strange corpses in the fog along the way.

Shan Shaoyu didn't know why this happened, just like he didn't know why the corpses swarmed towards them.

But now that the blood mist has been driven away, we have to rush back to Zhennanguan.

Shan Shaoyu identified the direction and quickly led everyone there.

Gu Xing took the cow and continued to follow closely behind them.
