After the loud explosion, peace finally came to those trapped in the array.
Zhu Xinglong took the lead in cheering, "That's great, it's really great, we finally eliminated all those ghost zombies!..."
Damn! Zhu Xinglong shouted so happily, as if he was the contributor of the credit.
I curled my lips, glared at Zhu Xinglong, and said disdainfully: "Well, you better quickly count the number of living ghost officials, so that we can find a way to leave the trap. Do you want to stay in the trap for the rest of your life?"
In fact, although the ghost zombies were eliminated, I was a little unhappy. Just now, I released a dry talisman to break the formation, but it had no effect at all. Combined with the previous immobilization talisman, I thought to myself, it seems that talismans are not very useful in this trapped formation.
Zhu Xinglong took the lead in making two torches. The burning materials on the torches were the clothes of the ghost officials. When the clothes burned, they crackled and emitted a pungent smell.
When I saw Zhu Xinglong walking towards me with a gloomy face, I knew that there might not be many ghost officials left.
"How is it? How many ghost officials are left?" I asked.
Zhu Xinglong shook his head helplessly, sighed, and said: "There are only nine ghost officials left, the others are dead! ... And several ghost officials are injured!"
Damn, there were more than 20 ghost officials who came together, and now there are only nine people left including Zhu Xinglong. The casualties are really heavy. If Zuo Weiran knew this, I wonder what he would think. But when those ghost officials and zombies rushed up just now, it was really dangerous.
Seeing my cold expression, Zhu Xinglong asked tentatively, "Young Master Yang, do you have a way to break the trap? Don't worry, we will listen to you this time. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would have died in this trap a long time ago."
Zhu Xinglong's eyes were full of eagerness and expectation. He probably thought I would have a solution.
But what can I do
Not wanting to disappoint Zhu Xinglong and the ghost officials behind him, I licked my lips, squinted my eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I'll find a way!"
However, my answer still disappointed these ghost officials.
There was more loneliness on their faces.
I thought about it and encouraged them, "Okay, don't be so disappointed. As long as we are still alive, this trap will not be a problem for us. Now let's work together to find a way to break the trap. Maybe we can find it."
"How about this, everyone spread out first and look for flaws in the trap. Also, pay attention to those broken limbs and the heads of those ghost zombies. Maybe they are not completely dead yet."
The ghost officials nodded and said nothing more.
At this time, outside the trap, dozens of ghosts were suspended in the air, looking very powerful.
The ghost floating in front turned out to be the heavy smoker with smoke coming out of his mouth.
The big smoker was staring at the trap with a solemn expression.
The trap is just a black film of light, not very noticeable from the inside. But from the outside, it is quite conspicuous, just like a black bowl turned upside down on the ground. However, it is impossible for the ghosts outside to see the environment inside the film of light clearly.
However, the sudden explosion in the trap just now made the big smoker feel uneasy. But even so, the big smoker still felt that it was impossible for the ghost officials in the trap to survive.
Not far from the big smoker, there was a corpse lying on the ground below.
That's a ghost.
The corpse belonged to the ghost official that Zhu Xinglong had previously sent to guard the opium addict.
Next to the smoker, there was a ghost who was dying of bloating floating in the air. Its soul was round and plump, and it was wearing a white sweatshirt. The ghost's belly looked like it was about to burst the sweatshirt.
The Ghost Who Died of Stuff looked at the Smoking Ghost and asked respectfully, "Master Military Advisor, it's been so long, the ghost officials trapped in the array should all be dead, right? If they are dead, please open the array, and I will go in and feast on them. You stopped me before, so I didn't get to eat those corpses, but this time, I must eat my fill."
The heavy smoker glared at the guy who was dying of stuffiness next to him with displeasure.
It said angrily: "You have nothing to do with anything! We don't know the situation inside the trap yet. What if those ghost officials are still alive?"
"You're dreaming of opening the trap! Let me tell you, Xu Ziqing, if you dare to run into the trap, don't blame me for being rude."
The ghost was embarrassed, but with a smile on his face, he said, "That's right... How dare I disrespect the words of the military advisor?"
However, Xu Ziqing, the opium addict, cursed the heavy smoker's ancestors in his heart.
Just as the big smoker was floating in the air with a group of ghosts, a man was lying on a mound in the distance.
The man was wearing a black robe, had thick eyebrows, small eyes, a small mustache on his chin, and a dry white mouth. He was staring solemnly in the direction of the trap.
If Zhu Xinglong was here, he would definitely recognize that the man was actually a captain of the Gongyang Pavilion. It was Zhang Rong, the ghost official with a mustache that Zuo Weiran had arranged to follow me.
"They were lured into a trap by a big smoker. What a bunch of idiots!"
Zhang Rong muttered in a cold voice.
He had no intention of saving anyone. He hid in the dark and wanted to see what those ghosts were going to do. After all, in the territory of the Gongyang Pavilion, it was rare to see ghosts that dared to besiege the ghost officials. And there were so many of them!
Zhang Rong did not report the situation here to Zuo Weiran. He also had his own little thoughts in his mind.
He knew that things would not be that simple now.
And if he could find out the specific information, he would get a handsome reward.
Thinking about the precious ghost objects and precious elixirs, Zhang Rong was naturally very tempted. Therefore, he didn't care about the life and death of the ghost officials in the trap. All he had to do was to hide.
However, unfortunately, an hour later, a group of people appeared in the northeast direction of the trapped array.
There were only six people in that group, all wearing black robes, riding on paper horses, the transportation tool of Gongyang Pavilion. No need to look, it was a group from Gongyang Pavilion.
"Damn it! Someone is coming at this time!"
Zhang Rong muttered unhappily, but he did not move and remained lying on the mound.
The group of ghosts waiting around the trap soon discovered the existence of the team.
The team was indeed composed of people from the Gongyang Pavilion, and the leader of the team was called Woody.
The task that this team received from the Criminal Law List was to find out the news about the money and food in the Supply Pavilion and the disappearance of those ghost officials.
Gathering information is one of the simplest tasks in the Reward and Punishment Hall.
At this time, Hu Di didn't know that their team had accidentally run into the ghosts who robbed money and food and killed the ghost officials.
Woody was sitting leisurely on a tall paper horse, introducing his own experience to a young ghost official who had just joined their team, and he couldn't stop bragging about it.
"Lu Xiaodong, you don't know that we are supporting the
The ghost officials are the most powerful among the ghost officials in the underworld, and they are also the most blessed group of people. It is really a blessing for you to be able to join our ghost official team in the Gongyang Pavilion."
"You don't know, in our Offering Pavilion, the ghost officials eat well and sleep well. If someone completes the task, they can get a ghost weapon or elixir from the Reward and Punishment Hall. Haha, those are all good things. Look at this iron rod in my hand, it's a mid-level ghost weapon."
"This underworld weapon is one of the best in the Offering Pavilion. It is rare even in the hands of the captains."
"Let me tell you, it wasn't easy for me to get this Dark Qi. Back then, I chased a vicious ghost for 49 days. I fought with that vicious ghost for more than 3,000 rounds. Finally, at the last moment, I used my trump card and killed it with one move! Only then did I get enough points to exchange for this Dark Qi Iron Rod."
"Haha... You are a new ghost official, so don't envy me. But as long as you follow me, I promise that you will be able to thrive in this Gongyang Pavilion."
While bragging, Woody, the captain of this ghost squad, couldn't help feeling complacent.
On the other side, the new ghost official's eyes were filled with envy and admiration for Woody.
This made Woody feel very comfortable.
But just when the six-man ghost team had just turned a gray hill on their paper horses, suddenly, a pitch-black ghost flying knife came flying towards the team.
Woody was just spitting and bragging when the ghost flying knife flew straight towards his chest.
The flying knife was not big, but it was very fast, and it was surrounded by a rolling ghost aura.
"***, be careful, there is a ghost weapon!"
A ghost official who was in charge of observing the situation reminded Hu Di urgently.
When Woody came to his senses, the flying knife had already flown towards him.
He quickly blocked it with the iron rod in his hand.
With a "bang", the flying knife hit Woody's iron rod hard.
There was a paper horse under Woody's feet. When the flying knife hit him, his body was unstable and he fell off the paper horse.
With a "splash", the ashes on the ground were splashed up by Woody.
The other ghost officials were also panicking, shouting: "Enemy attack, enemy attack..."
The ghost officials jumped off the paper horses one after another and hid to the side.
Hu Di fell to the ground, his buttocks hitting a protruding stone, the pain made him sweat coldly. In addition, the shouting of his ghost officials frightened him so much that his shoulders trembled.
Woody rolled and crawled, hiding behind a rock.
At this time, the group of ghosts, led by the big smoker, had already rushed towards Woody and his group of ghost officials.
Woody, who was hiding behind a rock, saw so many ghosts flying towards them. Cold sweat broke out on his face and his heart was pounding so hard that it almost jumped out of his throat.
He shouted quickly, "Defend, defend quickly! Otherwise we will all die here. Those ghosts are not simple. They dared to attack us by surprise. It must be premeditated."
At the same time, Woody quickly took out the reward and punishment order from his waist.
Injecting the dark energy in his body into the reward and punishment order, Hu Di shouted for help: "No, no, we are being attacked by ghosts, please help, please help..."
The Reward and Punishment Order is only available to the captains of the Reward and Punishment Hall, or those powerful ghost officials. At the same time, the Reward and Punishment Order is also a communication tool for transmitting messages.
