Back Off, Let Me Come

Wu Xian didn't react at first.

The use of one's own corpses by the enemy is a basic battlefield operation. Some unscrupulous people will use the corpses of the enemy and our own as raw materials to cultivate and spread the plague. If the tank is stuck in a pit and there is no stone material for a while, the corpses can be used to fill it in.

It is only natural that the bodies of missing scouts are used.

Suddenly, Wu Xian reacted.

Pointing at the muddy corpse on the ground, he asked, "General Bai, do you mean...he was the one who delayed you just now?"

Scouts are elite soldiers with reconnaissance advantages, and a high proportion of them are brave warriors. They are the best in the army in terms of both combat effectiveness and mobility. However, this "best" is also compared to the level of the three armies, and individual soldiers are not very good.

Wu Xian carefully recalled the list of missing scouts.

"If I remember correctly, he is only at the fourth level?" Not to mention that he had been entangled with Bai Su for so long in the sky, if the two met, Bai Su might have cut him off in a few moves. "General Bai, do you mean that someone with extraordinary strength is secretly controlling the corpses to deal with us?"

Bai Su nodded: "Yeah."

Wu Xian paced back and forth holding the hilt of the knife, frowning. It was obvious that he was very anxious. "A while ago, I heard some rumors that General Bai had successfully killed the evil thought?"

Killing the evil thoughts can break the bottleneck between the fifteenth level and the sixteenth level. Wu Xian couldn't detect Bai Su's aura realm, but he was sure that she had either just broken through or was stuck in the middle and had not yet been promoted completely. No matter which one it was, the person behind the scenes was able to delay Bai Su for so long through a corpse that was only at the fourth level when he was alive. His true strength should not be underestimated.

She didn't announce the news to the public, and didn't even hold a celebration party.

How did Wu Xian know?

As a shrewd person, Wu Xian could read the doubt in Bai Su's eyes and explained, "General Bai, please don't blame Censor Gu."

Bai Su: "Did Censor Gu leak the information?"

She didn't remember how good Gu Chi and Wu Xian were, and they were even bad. They had a "deep hatred". Thinking back to the past, Gu Chi and Liao Jia were sent as envoys to Gao State. It was unknown what kind of humiliation he suffered in Gao State. When he came back, he prepared Wu Xian's pornographic novel and asked Qi Shan to come back and draw many "colorful, fragrant and delicious" illustrations. The plot was complete and the pictures were complete.

It was widely circulated among the people and was pirated countless times.

If Wu Xian had not become the Duke of Lu, and the pirated book club only wanted to make money and not lose their heads, they might have been able to get in front of the real owner.

It is said that Wu Xian knew about the existence of the pornographic book with himself as the protagonist, and he flew into a rage several times, vowing to catch the person behind it and chop him into pieces. Judging from the fact that Gu Chi is still alive and kicking, Wu Xian was just angry for a while.

Bai Su watched the original version out of boredom.

[Qi Zhongshu's paintings are indeed worth seeing, no wonder they can be sold at a high price.] Gu Chi, who was troubled by the trivial matters of the Censorate, suddenly raised his head and leaned over to take a look at the album in Bai Su's hand, with an embarrassed look on his face. Bai Su stroked the face of the handsome Censor with her fingers, and said with a smile, [It's just that the person who wrote the book doesn't understand romance, so the many absurdities really make it difficult for the protagonist in the book and the painter outside the book.]

Some moves are too difficult.

Only brave warriors with strong bodies can withstand it.

Bai Su: [Write something healthy, don’t mislead the students. ]

Prostitution is prohibited in the army, but soldiers are also human beings, and they cannot rely on training alone to relieve their excess energy. The upper echelons turn a blind eye to the soldiers' behavior of secretly bringing in pornographic books and pictures. Bai Su has no objection to this, but she hopes that the soldiers can read some knowledge.

Don’t learn a lot and then be dumbfounded when you actually put it into practice.

Gu Chi almost choked on his own saliva, and had the urge to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, but he said in a usual romantic way: [I don’t understand, General, can you be merciful and teach me something? ]

Bai Su: [……]

After so many years, I still can't beat the professional players.

Wu Xian couldn't do anything about Gu Chi.

He knew that Gu Chi had written his pornographic novel, but he couldn't confront him with evidence, and it was even more impossible for him to bring the matter to the court to accuse Gu Chi. If Wu Xian did this, all the civil and military officials in the court would know that such a pornographic novel existed.

The Duke of Lu didn't want to die in public, so he could only swallow the loss in silence.

In this situation, how can Wu Xian and Gu Chi have a good relationship?

Even if Wu Xian wanted to make things difficult for Gu Chi, he would not choose such a stupid way - Bai Su had a big mouth, and she would know the truth after asking Gu Chi. Wu Xian told the truth: "Gu Yushi is a tight-lipped person, but his hands are loose."

The heroines he writes about are becoming stronger and stronger.

Wu Xian could roughly guess the answer by counting on his fingers.

Gu Chi's hobbies are very easy to recognize. He keeps writing about the same few characters, and his characters are all ready-made. Who among the civil and military officials in the court has not been cricketed by him? You can tell who the prototype is after a few glances. As long as you find out that the prototype is Bai Su, you will know Bai Su's recent cultivation level.

Bai Su: "...I'll deal with him later."

I never dreamed that the secret would be leaked like this.

"Haha, General Bai, don't be angry. Censor Gu doesn't have bad intentions." He simply wanted to show off. He couldn't show off his relationship with Bai Su to his colleagues, so he secretly arranged various plots in the book. Ha, he was also pretending.

The relaxed atmosphere is short-lived after all.

The relaxed smile on Wu Xian's face gradually faded, and he said, "The enemy can exert such strength by controlling a corpse. His true realm is probably not lower than that of General Bai... It's even possible..."

The two of them knew what was left unsaid.

When the war has come to this point, all the cards have to be revealed.

It was said before that the 20th-rank Chehou were rare, but the active period was rarely recorded in history books. Who knows how many old guys who have the hope of being promoted to the 20th-rank Chehou relied on their survival to grind their way to the Chehou realm? Isn't Robert a typical example?

Those eighteenth-rank Great Shuzhang, nineteenth-rank Guannei Hou… as long as they can retreat bravely and not die on the battlefield, live in seclusion for a few decades, and their lifespan does not end, they have a great chance of becoming a marquis.

Maybe the one who caused trouble this time is also some So-and-So Che Hou.

Bai Su's fingertips stroked the cloud pattern engraved on the edge of the armband, her eyebrows lowered, suppressing the fierceness in her eyes: "If this is true, the previously missing scouts may have been used by the enemy."

As she spoke, an idea suddenly occurred to her.

"Have any of the missing scouts returned to the team?"

Wu Xian met Bai Su's gaze and understood what she meant.

The military doctor examined the black worms that had been forced out of Bai Su's wound and confirmed that they were all poisonous worms, but they were not capable of controlling people. However, when dissecting the scout's body, he found a "worm nest" at the Dan Mansion. The densely packed worm eyes made people's scalps numb.

"Quick, take it quickly——"

The military doctor also gasped when he saw the condition of the corpse's abdominal cavity.

Fearing that the eggs in the "insect nest" would be disturbed, he ordered people to bring containers to put them in. However, just as he turned his head, he caught a glimpse of movement in the corpse's abdominal cavity - a "black fog" composed of dense black insects swarmed over, which was extremely terrifying.

"ah--"

The military doctor was about to scream when a white sword flashed before his eyes.

This ball of "black fog" was frozen into a ball by the sword light.

It hit the ground with a crisp sound and ice chips were all over the ground.

Bai Su shouted, "Back off!"

The sword energy crushed the remaining insects into powder.

He grabbed the military doctor's shoulders and pulled him back, throwing him to Wu Xian who had hurried over. The military doctor barely stood still, and saw an extremely horrifying scene - the corpse he had disemboweled suddenly revived, with intestines dangling, a pair of translucent bat wings spread out on its back, a thick layer of putty-like white film covering its pupils at a speed visible to the naked eye, a heavy "ho ho" sound coming out of its throat, and black lines crawling across its pale face.

"Playing tricks!"

Bai Su kicked over the brazier.

The charcoal fire exploded into brilliant starlight and rushed straight towards the corpse.

The moment the flames licked the corpse, there was an earth-shaking roar under the feet of the military doctor, and the soldiers were panicked. Compared with visible enemies, invisible enemies are more likely to cause panic...

"What's going on?"

The dark shadow of the mountain in the distance suddenly rose higher.

"The mountain! The mountain has fallen!"

I don't know who shouted this.

Wu Xian cursed inwardly, "idiot", not wanting to admit that these were the soldiers he had brought with him. He immediately drew out the long sword from his waist and slashed at the mountain peak - not for the power, but for the momentum! Although the blade did not hit the mountain peak, it exploded in mid-air, illuminating half of the sky, allowing people to see clearly that it was not "the mountain falling", but the clouds in the mountain were surging like dragon scales.

It was heading towards the main army.

Wu Xian was also troubled by this. Turning his head, he saw Bai Su freezing the corpse into a lump of ice in anger and crushing it into powder with one foot, ensuring that it would not die again. Then he showed a look of disgust and said, "Duke Lu, order the army to retreat."

"It's the only way." We could have a fight if we were ready, but it was disgusting that the cat was playing dirty tricks in the dark.

As soon as the bronze bell sounded, Bai Su knew something was wrong.

With one sword, he cut off the bronze bell that was in charge of the nearest messenger.

"Who gave you permission to march?"

The messenger is the most critical link in mobilizing the three armies, responsible for accurately delivering orders to various places. The basic requirement for a messenger is that he cannot make a single mistake. Every order must be memorized by heart to ensure that there are no mistakes during the chaotic period. How could such a low-level mistake occur at this time? It would not be excessive for Bai Su to kill him on the spot.

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Su saw the soldier's face.

His skin was pale and bloodless, and his eyes were covered with white film.

When Bai Su interfered with his movements, he didn't react for a moment, and then he let out a low beast roar, opened his mouth full of fangs and intended to bite. Puff puff puff - the sound of several sword blades entering the flesh, the messenger was nailed to the ground, his limbs twisted and struggling.

Seeing this horrifying scene, she stepped forward and grabbed the messenger's right hand.

The palms were dry and thin, with iron skin and bones, and there were insect eggs hidden under the black claws. She cut the messenger's mouth with a sword and found that the other party's teeth were also hiding insect eggs: "It takes ten days or half a month for the parasitic insect to hatch and lay eggs. It seems that-"

Our side had long been infiltrated by the enemy.

Bai Wu placed his palm against the corpse and circulated his martial energy.

The corpse was frozen into a lump of ice and shattered into pieces with a single punch.

"Don't spare any messenger who delivered the wrong message." Bai Su had just stood up when Wu Xian's deputy general suddenly moved forward and struck Bai Su's back with a palm that had been brewing for a long time. As soon as the palm wind touched Bai Su, a head rolled to the ground. Wu Xian's move was more decisive.

Bai Su said: "... Duke Lu, please accept my condolences."

Wu Xian's face didn't look very good, but he still managed to suppress his sadness.

He said, "I was careless."

Wu Xian had no time to feel sad for the murder of his long-time deputy general. He was furious at being played by the enemy. The conflict of military orders led to small-scale chaos in various parts of the army. When the soldiers questioned this, they were shocked to find that their comrades suddenly attacked them.

The attack method is almost beast-like biting and gnawing.

The good news is that these "monsters" are not invulnerable.

The bad news is that after the "monster" falls, the eggs will quickly devour the flesh and blood until the body is only a piece of human skin wrapped around bones. The eggs hatch from the flesh and blood into a mass of black moths, which fly into the sky and gather into a black mist.

The black fog merged with the "mountain mist" that permeated the mountains, gradually stretching to outline a tall black shadow.

"This is so delicious, it really whets my appetite."

A strange, hoarse old male voice came from the dark shadow formed by the black moth, and a greedy red light flashed in the eye sockets of the skull.

After a while, the shadowy hand as big as a mountain waved towards Bai Su below, and said in fascination: "It has been a long time since I have tasted... young flesh with such vigorous blood..."

The hand brushed past Wu Xian's head but did not catch Bai Su.

The palm strike missed, leaving a palm print nearly ten feet deep on the ground.

Dust rose several feet high, and hundreds of dense water columns broke through the air. A giant fish covered in black and white metal scales soared into the sky. Bai Su stepped on the fish and passed through the black moths that shot at her. She cut off one of the enemy's arms with her two swords. The cold sword energy mixed with the cold sea water instantly froze the cut part into pieces of ice.

Bai Su yelled, "Find someone who can set a fire!"

These poisonous insects are afraid of thunder and fire.

Wu Xian also chopped left and right, the anger in his chest growing stronger and stronger.

Don't ask why, the answer is that half of the dozen people he just killed were his soldiers. If Bai Su had come a little later, Wu Xian suspected that he would have been killed silently: "Where can I find someone who can set the fire? Damn, does my anger count?"

He is on fire now!

He kicked the green-faced, fang-toothed monster that rushed over and swept the long sword in his hand. The air wave that burst out with martial energy shook the crowd several feet away. Wu Xian broke through the encirclement: "Form a formation and attract the thunder!"

He took a gamble - ordinary thunderclouds couldn't kill the soldiers in a short time, but they could kill these damn bugs!

The black shadow wanted to rescue Bai Su, but he had been trying for a long time without any success. No one knew what kind of practice she was doing, but her movements were more slippery than a loach.

In a rage, he sent out dozens of illusory overlapping palm prints.

It can be eaten even if it is mashed into meat paste.

In a flash, Bai Su's position was replaced by the strange fish covered in heavy scales. The strange fish was madly absorbing the energy of heaven and earth, making its body expand like a balloon, while accumulating all its strength in its tail and attacking head-on. Bai Su flashed to the position above the black shadow's head, and swung out with two swords dragging long white chains, aiming at the black shadow from the left and right, and lightning and fire fell at the same time.

I feel like I need to pray to God recently and pray for peace and blessings. Today, I suddenly received a text message on my phone. I thought it was because I hadn't logged in for a long time, but later I found out that my account was hacked... Fortunately, the valuables were not on the account, otherwise I would have cried to death.
