LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 55 Human Advantage
When the ghost tide breaks out, don't fight recklessly.
The ghosts rolled in like a tide, and the warrior team quickly retreated.
After Jing'an Captain Jiang Ren chose to cut it off himself, he gathered his spiritual energy and released a large-scale lightning strike, leaving a knife mark of constantly churning electric arcs on the ground of the street.
Although the knife marks could not stop the ghosts from advancing, the unique paralysis effect still slowed down the movement of the ghosts in the front row.
Under the influence of the diversionary skill Thunder Strike, the warrior team successfully escaped the pursuit and quickly returned to the city gate cave.
But the ghosts who were attracted to hate would not give up the pursuit. There were many of them, pushing back and forth like a tide towards the city gate.
"Let's go, leave the secret realm, and find another way."
Faced with the attack of a large number of ghosts, the gains outweighed the losses in the battle.
Under the command of Captain Jing'an, Zhou Yuan and the warriors contacted the dungeon portal one after another and returned to the dark and narrow shaft.
The moment they left, the violent ghost ghosts also lost their target of hatred. After lingering in place for a while, they dispersed one by one.
Compared to the undisciplined ghosts, the warrior team is much more united.
In a literal sense of unity, twelve people squeezed and stepped on each other, congested in the wet shaft.
Captain Jing'an, who was at the bottom, supported the well walls on both sides in a 'big' shape to prevent anyone from being accidentally squeezed back into the secret realm of ghosts.
"Damn it, don't step on my head, hurry up and get up quickly, there are still several people crowded down there."
"Why is the craftsman's office so slow? I have to dig this well into a big hole when I get up there."
The warriors probably forgot that although the construction plans of the County Department's Craftsman's Office were very reasonable, they had just started construction, and they couldn't wait to enter the secret realm to explore.
This is really how exciting you are when you enter, and how embarrassed you are when you escape.
Bang, bang, bang...
With the sound of several heavy objects falling to the ground, the narrow shaft finally became quite clear.
The warriors used their strength to jump out of the dry well one by one. Zhou Yuan was thrown by Cheng Fei, the captain of Shanle County, and used his strength to climb up the edge of the well.
Seeing the warriors appear, military doctors from the camp stepped forward one after another and asked if they needed emergency bandaging and sutures.
The farce of one side complaining and the other side asking for help was finally over when Captain Jing'an appeared with a dusty face.
The group of people first went to take a hot bath to get rid of the cold feeling in their psychology, and then one by one they entered the camp hall to have a drink and discuss matters.
Captain Jing'an changed into loose linen clothes, with wet hair hanging down his shoulders, giving him a bit of a bohemian celebrity look.
"County lieutenants, although this exploration of the secret realm did not go smoothly, we have gained a lot of useful information.
Come, drink this cup to the full, congratulate us on our triumphant return, and wish us a happy return. "
"Shan, it's freezing in the Yin nest, and I was about to borrow some wine from the captain to warm myself up."
Luo Xing, the ghost mother accompanying the banquet, looked at the scene in front of her of changing glasses, talking and laughing, and suddenly she was relieved of her anxiety about gain and loss.
Yes, demons have no wisdom and are immortal, while humans have wisdom and short lives. On the surface, it seems that yin and yang complement each other and have their own advantages and disadvantages.
But people can retreat and rest. No matter how difficult the secret is, they can drink and talk freely and be full of hope.
When the secret realm is easy to conquer, they can clear out the demons and celebrate their success; when the secret realm is difficult to conquer, they can quit midway to reward themselves and think of other ways.
But the monsters in the secret realm will never be able to taste this kind of celebratory wine, and they can only wander around in a limited space.
Therefore, the ghost mother Luo Xing was relieved. She would rather sit among the crowd and accompany the banquet than stay in that cold lair.
"Mr. Luo, why don't you drink, but this wine is so spicy that it's hard to get into your throat.
The gentleman has done a great service and is my distinguished guest. Jiang was negligent.
Come, please give Mr. Luo some fruit wine. How can such a joyful banquet make Mr. Luo uncomfortable? "
"There is no need to change. I entered the camp to offer sacrifices just so that I could sit here and drink with all the heroes.
For such a grand event, the stronger the wine, the better. Please wait a moment and enjoy your drink. "
Ghost Mother Luo Xing raised the wine glass in her hand, took a few sips, then closed her eyes, opened her mouth, and downed the strong wine in one gulp.
The spicy and burning liquor went straight to its head, then entered its stomach and rolled, and finally hit its mouth and nose as its esophagus hit it, causing it to burst into tears.
"If you like wine, you will want to join the army and drink strong wine as a person."
"Okay, I don't think you, a thin scribe, are not only ambitious, but also able to drink well. Come, come, come. I won't come back until I'm drunk today."
Luo Xing, the ghost mother, was drinking and weeping, but the bodyguard who was bringing food to the table laughed secretly.
A good man, how could he drink some liquor and make himself cry? He is indeed a sensitive scholar, and it is difficult to be generous.
They didn't know that Luo Xing, the ghost mother, was bidding farewell to the past and preparing to join the army, overlooking its former nest from a high place.
It can't go back to the ghost nest, and it doesn't want to go back; it wants to become a warrior, conquer other secret realms, sit and talk about Taoism, and drink happily.
A banquet ended successfully with the laughter of the warriors and the tears of the lean scribe.
The warriors are preparing to wait for the reinforcements from the state capital to arrive before exploring the secret realm of Yingui.
The ghost mother Luo Xing is waiting for a reward from the court to see what position she can get in exchange for her contribution to the nest.
Everyone present has gained something, and naturally drinks with confidence to get rid of physical and mental fatigue.
Early the next morning, Captain Jing'an woke up and ordered his guards to summon Zhou Yuan.
He trusted Zhou Yuan's strength and knew that using Zhou Yuan could speed up the attack on the secret realm.
Therefore, he planned to temporarily change the attack rhythm in the camp and replenish the spiritual inventory of the arsenal as soon as possible.
After Zhou Yuan was led into the camp, Lieutenant Jing'an did not hesitate to speak out his purpose.
"Zhou Yuan, it will cost a lot to deal with the ghost plague and explore the secret realm this time.
When the warriors from various counties leave, we need to give them spiritual objects and treasures to reward them for their merits."
"The reinforcements from the prefecture should arrive in the next few days. During this period, it is inconvenient for me to return to the camp to supervise the battle.
You and Cai Cheng will return to the camp with my orders first, and try your best to attack the secret realm in the camp and replenish the spiritual objects for the camp's arsenal."
"Yes."
Zhou Yuan just lacked experience, so he naturally didn't mind returning to the camp to brush low-level dungeons. He just didn't know how Cai Cheng was doing. After all, his mother was also a ghost with painted skin.
When Zhou Yuan saw Cai Cheng again, the military commander was not depressed, but as calm as ever.
"Brother Cai, I have heard about your family's situation. Please accept my condolences."
"Zhou Yuan, I am not sad about the death of that ghost. I am just afraid that my mother will be hurt. I hate that I was not there when she asked for help.
Let's go back to the camp and fight. Only fighting can relieve my grief."
Cai Cheng never thought that he would encounter so many things just after returning to the city on vacation.
Fortunately, his wife and children were fine, otherwise he really couldn't bear it.
When Cai Cheng returned to the military camp with grief and indignation, the secret realm attack war started again.
It's just that this time it was an emergency expedition. All the black armor soldiers and divine arm soldiers had to reduce their rest time and urgently participate in the secret realm blood battle.
Fortunately, there was Zhou Yuan, an extraordinary archer, otherwise even if they were elite soldiers, they would suffer considerable damage.
"Black armor, stand up and advance, hook and sickle spear ready."
"Zhou Yuan, you have the tiger-shooting bow, see if you can shoot the demon leader directly.
This time we won't hide, just kill the enemy quickly."
"Okay, I'll kill him."
