Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 527 Shang Sima is back!
When Shang Lu rushed back to the camp, he found that the battle was still going on.

Because of the thick fog, the county soldiers did not see the strange phenomenon in the sky, which luckily saved their eyes from disaster.

However, the mighty power of the heavenly fire still had a great impact on this place.

There were raging flames inside and outside the camp, and many places were on fire.

The fire brought scorching heat waves, roasting the county soldiers' bodies until they were shiny red, like cooked shrimps and crabs. They had to use all their blood and energy to resist the heat in order to avoid being scalded to death.

If there hadn't been a raging fire outside the camp and the continued attack of the strange Shen corpse, and if the camp hadn't been protected not only by the witch formation but also by the witch weapons cast by Zhu Quan, Tu Bin, Du Feng and others, which made it much safer than the outside world, I'm afraid this group of county soldiers would have dispersed and fled for their lives long ago.

Zhuang Fan, who was in charge of the command, endured the attack brought by the heat wave and issued orders one after another:

"Xu San, take your men and get to the east wall of the village! No matter what, we can't let those corpses set the wall on fire!"

“Ma Wu, Ma Wu, are you fucking deaf? I told you to take people to put out the fire! Can’t you see that the fire is about to burn to the stone fort in the center of the camp? If the military supplies and grass hidden inside are burned, even if you and I grow three or five heads like those Shen corpses outside, it will not be enough to chop off…”

"Archers, keep shooting arrows! Don't stop!"

Zhuang Fan not only had to organize people to resist Shen Shi, but also had to evacuate the wounded county soldiers in time, transfer the seriously injured to the stone fort, give the lightly injured a little bandaging and treatment, and then arrange to put out the fire.

Although there was a serious shortage of manpower, Zhuang Fan never thought of releasing the civilians in the stone fort to help.

In the current situation, the county soldiers are almost out of control, and the civilians' limited organizational skills will probably be disrupted once they are released.

By then, they will be unable to help and will only cry and flee in all directions, causing the county soldiers who are already at a critical point to collapse.

In addition to issuing orders, Zhuang Fan also loudly cheered on the county soldiers:

"Don't panic! The witchcraft curse on these demon corpses has dissipated, which means that the Chu witch who commanded them was killed by Sima! As long as we hold on, we can win! You can also see that these demon corpses are already on fire. We are uncomfortable, but they can't bear it even more. It won't be long before they will be burned to ashes, and then we can rush out of the fire..."

As Zhuang Fan was shouting, a county soldier who was hiding behind the wall and stabbing and hooking the corpses outside with a long spear suddenly had his pupils dilated and shouted excitedly:

"Sima! Sima is back!"

As he shouted, more county soldiers saw Shang Lu riding a black cloud rushing out of the thick fog, breaking through the blazing forest fire, and rushing straight towards Shen Shi outside the camp.

Suddenly, thunderous cheers broke out in the camp.

"Sima has not abandoned us!"

"Sima is back!"

"Sima is here to save us!"

The county soldiers' originally low morale recovered at this moment and quickly soared.

The Shen corpses that surrounded the camp also noticed Shang Lu's appearance and turned around.

Shang Lu was surprised to find that these Shen corpses were different from ordinary zombies and were actually quite smart.

After being struck by lightning and burned by the Thunder and Fire Poison-avoiding Umbrella, they knew to adjust their strategies and devoured each other in groups of three or two, turning into monsters with three heads and six arms.

The corpse qi also gathered as a result, allowing them to resist the thunder and fire caused by Zhu Quan and others.

It was not until the God of East appeared that raging flames burst out from the bodies of these evil creatures, causing their corpses to be damaged and their bodies to be injured. Otherwise, they would have already carried the thunder and fire, broken through the village wall, and charged into the camp.

At this moment, although the Shen corpses were still attacking, their situation was actually not good.

Because the flames burning on their bodies come from the sun, and contain extremely strong and masculine power. This power is a natural nemesis for evil creatures!

Even if the corpses devoured each other and strengthened their corpse qi to resist, they could only slow down the speed at which the corpses were burned but could not extinguish the flames.

That is why this group of Shen corpses did not leave here after the Chu Wu were completely destroyed, but instead continued to attack the camp.

He not only wanted to rush in, drink human blood and absorb human energy to replenish his own corpse energy.

He also wanted to drill into the body of a living person, borrow the vitality of the living person, put out the fire on his body, and escape this disaster.

Unfortunately, after Chu Wu was killed, Shen Shi lost the blessing of the spell, his strength dropped a level, and was burned by the heavenly fire, causing a further decline.

Even though his ferocious nature was still there, he could not break through the witch formation, nor could he break through the village wall that was covered with witch spells.

At this moment, they were overwhelmed by their desire for blood and flesh.

Seeing Shang Lu appear, the rotten heads didn't care whether they could defeat Shang Lu. They just opened their mouths excitedly when they saw a living person rushing towards them, spewing out black corpse gas and fishy yellow corpse water, which turned into poisonous arrows and shot towards Shang Lu.

"A bunch of corpse slaves. Your masters are dead, why are you still showing off your power and violence here?"

Shang Lu groaned and raised his right hand.

A stream of energy flew out from his hand and pulled the Thunder, Fire and Poison-Proof Umbrella that was floating above the camp in front of him.

As the essence and energy were poured in and the witch spells were chanted, the Kuiniu on the thunder and fire umbrella immediately let out a deafening roar.

Countless lightning bolts flew out from the umbrella and headed straight for the Shen corpses, instantly destroying all the poisonous arrows they had shot out. Then, amid an earth-shaking thunder explosion, countless thunder dragons and fire dragons struck the Shen corpses outside the camp with unmatched force.

In an instant, all the corpses of Shen were knocked down.

Their strength was already much weaker than before, and their corpse qi was severely consumed. At this moment, they were hit by thunder and fire, and the remaining corpse qi was completely blown away.

When the county soldiers in the camp saw this scene, they cheered in unison.

At this moment, in their minds, Shang Lu was simply a god descending from the sky.

Majestic and unstoppable.

A personal soldier who was born as a thief was stunned by the scene of lightning pouring down like a rainstorm outside the camp. He was full of envy and couldn't help but sigh: "Zhu Junhou, you said that everyone used the lightning and fire umbrella to avoid poison, why doesn't this magic weapon have such power in our hands?"

Zhu Quan rolled his eyes at the man and said unhappily, "Nonsense, what is your level of cultivation? What are our strengths? We can make the Thunder and Fire Poison-avoiding Umbrella drop thunder and fire, which is already very good. How dare you dream of competing with your master? When you become a wizard and your level of cultivation catches up with your master, then you can have such unrealistic dreams."

Zhuang Fan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Shang Lu charging back, and then issued orders one after another, asking more county soldiers to withdraw from behind the wall and put out the fire inside the camp. At the same time, he ordered the archers to shoot arrows quickly to assist Shang Lu.

Among the military and witchcraft skills mastered by Shang Lu, there are means to guide and control the arrows of his soldiers, so he is not afraid of causing accidental injuries. Even the arrows shot will be blessed by witchcraft, thunder and fire, making them more powerful.

With the joint efforts from both inside and outside, the Shen corpses that besieged the camp were quickly wiped out. Under the burning of thunder and fire, they turned into charred corpses and became completely motionless.

Shang Lu rode his horse to observe and made sure that the corpse qi of these charred corpses was completely gone and there was no sign of regeneration, then he put away the thunder and fire poison-avoiding umbrella.

The county soldiers in the camp hurriedly opened the gate at this moment and welcomed Shang Lu in.

After riding his horse into the camp, Shang Lu did not ask about the situation of military supplies and food, but was concerned about the casualties of his men first.

"Old Zhu, General Zhuang, how are the brothers doing?"

Zhuang Fan strode towards Shang Lu, originally intending to report that the military supplies and fodder were all safe, and that they had not been attacked or affected by the fire. Unexpectedly, Shang Lu did not care about these things, but asked about the safety of the soldiers first.

Regardless of whether Shang Lu really cares or is just pretending to win people's hearts, it is quite touching.

After all, some generals who came from aristocratic families and big sects were too lazy to even pretend to be powerful and just treated their soldiers like cattle, horses and cannon fodder.

Zhuang Fan also noticed that many of the county soldiers who heard Shang Lu's question looked at Shang Lu with a look of loyalty in addition to admiration.

Although these county soldiers are not soldiers, they know what kind of people are worth their lives.

Shang Lu was not only generous in his gifts and rewards, but he also charged forward when faced with a strong enemy. After a great battle, his first concern was not the outcome of the battle, but the casualties of his soldiers.

Such a general is indeed worth fighting for.

While Zhuang Fan secretly sighed, he quickly reported the casualties without any hesitation.

After finishing, he licked his cracked lips and said, "The biggest problem now is that everyone is being burned by the sudden fire all around us, and we can't stand it anymore..."

Shang Lu also realized this. After returning to the camp, he put the wind and fog beads in his mouth and exhaled wind and fog again, using the strong wind to blow away the surrounding forest fires, and then used thick fog to suppress the fire.

Unfortunately, although he had intercepted a wisp of the power of the River God's messenger before, that power was too small. To this day, he could only condense some small water balls, which could not turn into heavy rain to put out the raging wildfire.

After hearing what Zhuang Fan said, he immediately gave the order: "Release the civilians, take them and the military supplies and fodder, and evacuate this place. I will lead the way! Lead you out of the sea of ​​fire! And take the bodies of the brothers who died in the battle with you. We can't abandon these brothers in the wilderness. We must bring their bodies home, along with the compensation, and hand them over to their families..."

After hearing this, not only the surrounding county soldiers, but even Zhuang Fan's eyes when he looked at Shang Lu changed.

He bowed, folded his hands, and responded solemnly.

He immediately went with Zhu Quan and others to convey the order, to lead everyone and follow Shang Lu out of the sea of ​​fire.

However, at this moment, a dark cloud flew over at an extremely fast speed and covered the top of the mountain.

Immediately afterwards, heavy rain poured down.

The rain was so heavy that it seemed as if a hole had been poked in the sky again, allowing the Milky Way to fall onto the earth.

The torrential rain immediately put out the wildfires inside and outside the camp.

Everyone's bodies, which were burned to ashes, were also moisturized and relieved.

Those flower fairies and grass elves who sensed the danger when the sky fire appeared and hid underground came out one after another as the heavy rain fell.

Without being told by anyone, they spontaneously ran to the injured county soldiers and helped them heal their wounds.

There were also some flower demons and grass spirits that secreted black mucus and signaled the county soldiers to smear it on their bodies.

Some county soldiers tried it and were pleasantly surprised to find that although the mucus did not look or smell very good, it actually had an extremely good nourishing and restorative effect on skin and flesh that had been cracked and burned.

In an instant, these flower demons and grass spirits were surrounded by people.

If people didn't know that they were monsters raised by the herb, I'm afraid some hot-tempered people would forcibly grab them and rub them on their bodies.

Seeing this, Zhu Quan and Zhuang Fan quickly found Shang Lu and asked him whether they should continue walking down the mountain.

Shang Lu thought for a moment and said, "This is reinforcements coming to help us put out the fire. Let's rest here and wait for the reinforcements to come and join us, and then make follow-up arrangements."

At this moment, with his keen hearing, he had already heard the sound of horse hooves appearing at the foot of the mountain, galloping towards their camp.

Shang Lu put away the Tiger Wind Dragon Mist so as not to interfere with the reinforcements and make them lose their direction.

After a while, the heavy rain stopped.

The county soldiers in the camp heard the sound of hurried horse hooves.

A group of cavalrymen galloped on the muddy mountain road. In an instant, they arrived outside the camp and stopped.

The leading general had a strong build, and was wearing a black armor covered with dark red witchcraft spells, and even a bust of the military lord Chi You.

This made Shang Lu very jealous.

The black armor exuded a witchcraft aura. It was obviously not an ordinary protective gear, but a witchcraft weapon blessed by the Lord of Arms.

No wonder the shadow of the Lord of Arms appeared on the arrows shot before. It was probably due to the power of this magical weapon.

The leading general threw out a badge, activated it, and hovered it in the air so that everyone could see it to prove his identity.

At the same time, he said loudly: "I am Fan Changsheng, Lieutenant of Xingshan Guard. Which county are you from?"

Shang Lu also offered his fake Sima waist badge and said, "General Shang Lu, I am honored to meet Captain Fan. We are from Baiyi County..."

"Baiyi County?"

A hint of curiosity flashed in Fan Changsheng's eyes.

The other wizards in military uniforms behind him also showed gossipy looks on their faces and looked Shang Lu up and down.

In other words, they had other important matters to attend to, which made them suppress their curiosity and not inquire about the affairs of Baiyi County.

However, Shang Lu relied on his sensitive ears and still heard the whispers of several wizards:
"It turned out to be the grain transport team from Baiyi County."

"Didn't they say there were borers in Baiyi County who were robbing grain? How come this grain team wasn't robbed and made it all the way to Xingshanwei?"

It is true that good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. The recent incident in Baiyi County has even spread to Xingshan.

Shang Lu smiled bitterly and sighed, finally figuring out the reason behind the gossipy expressions of these border army wizards.

After confirming the identity of the friendly forces, several border army wizards dismounted and entered the camp to help treat the wounded.

They have been in the border area for a long time and are very good at treating various external injuries. They have been dealing with the Chu army for many years and are also proficient in breaking the corpse poison.

After a few witchcraft spells, combined with the abilities of flower fairies and grass spirits, the effect was very quick.

Fan Changsheng also asked the cavalry he brought to assist the county soldiers and transport supplies and grass to the official road at the foot of the mountain.

Shang Lu expressed his gratitude repeatedly and used his eloquence to bring him closer to Fan Changsheng.

After a conversation, Shang Lu learned that the troops led by Fan Changsheng were not the troops stationed on the official road, but an elite force transferred back from the front line.

In recent months, the Chu army has sent out several grain-robbing teams, which have slipped through the jagged front-line positions and come to the grain route of the Ba State to cause trouble.

Several grain transport teams were ambushed and slaughtered by the Chu army troops, causing great shock to the Xingshan camp.

General Yan Man and Chief Priest Li Xuan were so furious that they simply pulled elite cavalry from the front lines and ordered them to patrol along the grain routes, looking for and killing the Chu army.

Fan Changsheng even told Shang Lu:
"Just a few hours before you, a grain transport team from Guling County was attacked. From the general leading the team to the wizard accompanying the team, as well as the soldiers and civilians below, all were killed without exception. The blood of the people was sucked dry, their souls were chewed up, and the military supplies and grass were burned.

After we learned about this situation, we concluded that the Chu army would not withdraw, because given their character, after their success, they would become arrogant and domineering, and would definitely look for more prey to expand their victory.

So we searched along the official road.

When he saw the alarm talismans you had released, he rushed over here at full speed.

In the end, I saw the good tricks of Shang Sima! He actually forced these Chu witches to sacrifice themselves and die with you! "
