Chapter 216: The origin of the ancient battlefield ghost, the fourth level strange appearance
"Xiangzi, you and the soldiers of the Azure Dragon Army will be responsible for escorting the more than 60,000 spiritual beasts and horses here back to the medium-quality spiritual grass pasture beside our Great Spiritual Lake."
"The spiritual grass pasture has been affected by the sudden increase in the spiritual veins of the island in the middle of the lake. It has undergone some changes and is expanding rapidly."
"It will probably not be long before it becomes a large spiritual grass pasture, which will be more than enough to graze tens of thousands of spiritual beasts and war horses here."
About a quarter of an hour after eating and drinking, the soldiers began to prepare for departure. Li Dingguo called Cao Yongxiang and gave him instructions.
The army will next head to the ancient battlefield thousands of miles away. It is inconvenient to march with so many spirit beasts and war horses.
Li Dingguo thought about it and decided to transfer Cao Yongxiang and his Qinglong Legion to take them back to the base camp of the Fuxing Army to settle down.
There were also a lot of various supplies seized from the two Tartar armies, which also had to be brought back to the base camp first, so as not to hinder the army's operations.
"Yes! Commander-in-Chief!"
Cao Yongxiang saluted Li Dingguo and then left.
About half an hour later, the Renaissance Army split into two and began to go their separate ways.
Among them, the three land battle corps led by Li Dingguo personally advanced towards the southwest, while Cao Yongxiang led all the soldiers of the Qinglong Corps under his command, escorting tens of thousands of spirit beasts and war horses back to the base camp in the south.
Less than half an hour later, the battlefield, which had been bustling with activity, was now deserted. All that remained were a few large pits covered with new soil, in which were buried the bodies of the Tartar soldiers who had come from afar.
I believe that by next year, the weeds growing here will be even more lush.
……
Ten days later, 30,000 soldiers of the Renaissance Army stood in front of a huge earthen basin filled with black fog formed by a large amount of Yin energy.
"Commander-in-chief, this is the legendary place where the famous general Geshu Han from the middle and late Tang Dynasty buried his bodies after killing a large number of foreign tribes on the grassland."
Wei Jinfan, the head of the Military Intelligence Bureau, reported to Li Dingguo, "At least more than 100,000 bodies of foreign soldiers are buried here. I don't know what happened later that it turned into a place of ghosts."
"Then a large number of evil spirits with great resentment were spawned, at least 40,000 to 50,000!"
"He Guang and I went in to investigate and found that there were dozens of Level 4 monsters!"
"There are still thousands of level three ghost generals, and the rest are all level one and level two evil spirits."
"The most amazing thing is that the evil spirits transformed from alien soldiers still vaguely retain some fragmentary memories of their predecessors and can actually use weapons!"
"The weapons they use are very crude. Most of them are incomplete weapons whose materials have been changed by Yin Qi. They are not spiritual weapons, but they are slightly better than ordinary weapons."
"Only the ghost king got a ten thousand year old Yin iron from somewhere, like a big stick. Its combat power has reached the limit of the fourth level. It looks difficult to deal with."
From her tone, one could tell that the burial ground of this ancient battlefield was home to a very powerful group of evil spirits.
This is also the first time that all the soldiers of the Fusion Army, including Li Dingguo, have to fight against a large group of evil spirits led by a fourth-level weirdness.
There are so many level four monsters that the number of Qi Refining Realm masters in the Renaissance Army has exceeded that of the others.
The soldiers of the three main combat corps of the Renaissance Army have at least trained their military killing arrays to a minor level of success, and have a natural restraint against all evil spirits and weirdness.
As long as there is no level 5 ghost king here, there is nothing to worry about.
"ah?"
Wan'er's eyes lit up when she heard this, "A huge stick formed naturally from ten thousand years of Yin iron?"
"My pair of Leigujingjinchui are becoming less and less useful as my cultivation level improves. I am worried that I can't find the right top-grade spiritual materials to upgrade and refine my Leigujingjinchui."
"Now that we have that big stick made of top-grade spiritual material Ten Thousand Years Yin Iron, it's just right."
This girl's extraordinary strength has been growing since the day her talent was awakened until now.
Li Dingguo guessed that the talent awakened by Wan'er should be the top-level innate divine power talent.
So far, in the entire Ming Dynasty, the only two practitioners with top-level natural supernatural powers are Cao Bianjiao and Lu Xiangsheng.
"It seems I also need to take some time to upgrade my natural divine power talent to the top level."
"Otherwise, let alone facing Cao Bianjiao in the future, once we face Aobai or Manggurtai, who are known for their natural supernatural powers among the Later Jin clan, we will most likely be crushed by them in terms of strength."
Li Dingguo suddenly became alert when he thought of Wan'er's incredible strength.
It is true that he is invincible among his peers now, but that will no longer be the case if he breaks through to the fifth level of martial arts.
Even if Li Dingguo breaks through to the fifth peak level of martial arts in the future, it is estimated that in a battle of the same level, he will most likely not be a match for Abahai and Manggurtai.
This is mainly because the gap between top talents and advanced talents is too big.
There is simply no level between the two.
Looking at Wan'er now, you can tell that her strength is more than twice that of Li Dingguo, which is an insurmountable gap.
Wan'er's extraordinary strength is still growing, but Li Dingguo has long stopped the natural increase of his strength. Unless he achieves a breakthrough in his cultivation level, he will be able to drive his own strength to continue to grow.
I have a golden finger, but why am I still lagging behind others in this aspect?
This shortcoming must be made up as soon as possible.
It would cost sixteen points of luck to upgrade the high-level innate divine power talent to the top-level talent. Li Dingguo had already decided that he had to spend the necessary luck points.
As for unlocking the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell and the Human Emperor Cauldron, just take your time. There is no rush anyway.
"Before entering the pass to settle accounts with the big Jin merchant Fan family, you must first upgrade your own talents."
"It would also increase our chances of winning if we run into a master from the Fan family and fail to defeat him. That would not be a revenge, but a joke."
Li Dingguo immediately gathered his thoughts and said to Wei Jinfan, "Now that the situation of this ancient battlefield has been ascertained, we can safely launch an attack on this ghost den."
He turned to look at Hongmei and began to issue combat orders, "Pass the order down, have the soldiers get ready. In a quarter of an hour, 3,000 men from each combat battalion will form a military killing formation and charge into this ancient battlefield from all directions!"
"This time, we must wipe out all the evil spirits of the alien races here without leaving a single one behind!"
"These foreigners harmed us Han people when they were alive, and they want to haunt us even after they die? How can it be so easy!"
"This time we must make sure their souls are completely shattered, so that they can no longer harm the world!"
As long as there is no Level 5 Ghost King in this ancient battlefield, there will be no accidents in the upcoming war. The tens of thousands of soul beads of various levels harvested after the war can allow the Renaissance Army to use the existing treasure ships of various sizes, psychic cannons, and psychic crossbow carts without worry for a period of time.
According to the intelligence that the Military Intelligence Department has recently collected from all over the world, the most famous den of ghosts and lurkers in the current Ming Dynasty is Tumu Fort.
A thousand years ago, the Mongol Tartars led by Yesen Khan wiped out nearly one million elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop, which became an indelible shame for the Ming Dynasty.
The millions of elite soldiers who were killed by the Tatars and the civil service group of the Ming Dynasty were filled with resentment after their unwilling deaths.
Soon, the burial ground turned into a forbidden place for ghosts. It was said that there was even more than one level six ghost king in it!
These evil spirits evolved from military souls seemed to keep in mind the belief of defending the country from beginning to end. They have never left the battlefield area of Tumu Fort and are still firmly guarding the northern border of the Ming Dynasty!
This is a tragic, lamentable and moving real-life story that makes people with conscience sigh whenever they think of it.
After learning this information, Li Dingguo could not sleep all night. His heart was always full of respect for the millions of innocent souls of soldiers who were jointly killed by the Tartars and the civil service group of the Ming Dynasty.
This ghost domain located in Tumubao and the ghost domain in Changping formed by the millions of Zhao soldiers who were killed by the ancient god Bai Qi, are known as the two major forbidden ghost domains in the Ming Dynasty. No one dares to enter them.
Anyone who does not believe in evil will never return.
As Li Dingguo's military order was issued, a quarter of an hour had passed.
Military killing formations formed by three thousand warriors were distributed in all directions of this huge ghost domain.
"Seven Star Bagua Formation, start!"
"Kill all these evil spirits from other races and make them disappear into ashes!"...
As the command flags were waved, the military killing formations that the soldiers had already formed were activated, and huge smoke signals of blood and energy began to sweep towards the front of the military formation.
These mighty blood and wolf smoke, as the various military killing formations advanced, evaporated the countless black ghost mists that were spreading.
The soldiers advanced about three miles towards the ghost den. In this huge ghost domain with a radius of dozens of miles, the extremely thick ghost fog was evaporated by about 10% by the blood and blood smoke that swept in all directions from the army formations that advanced in unison!
This situation shows that the blood and qi smoke stimulated by the military killing formation has great destructive power against the ghost fog and yin energy, and can be said to be a natural nemesis.
The various combat battalions of the Renaissance Army were advancing in an orderly manner, with the aim of forcing the evil spirits here to take the initiative to come out and fight, so as to maximize the power of their own military killing formation.
As long as their side does not use the killing array magic more than twice during this war, the soldiers will not have to worry about not being able to carry out a protracted war.
Regarding this horizontal offensive, Li Dingguo has already issued orders that unless it is absolutely necessary, each combat battalion should try not to use their killing abilities.
The purpose is self-evident, which is to use this war to test the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in killing the enemy using normal means, so that each combat battalion can grow up as quickly as possible, so that they will have the confidence to face the increasingly complex situation in the future.
With the huge blood-qi smoke enveloping his own soldiers, there is no need to worry about his own soldiers being taken advantage of by evil spirits.
With the current strength of the various combat battalions of the Renaissance Army, before the military killing formation is disbanded, it will be impossible for any evil spirit below level five to devour the souls of the soldiers.
Although large groups of evil spirits are terrifying, they have one major flaw: except for those military souls who were skilled in military formations during their lifetime and turned into evil spirits after death, any other groups of evil spirits will not form formations to kill the enemy.
They were like a pile of scattered sand and could not stop the soldiers of the Restoration Army from advancing.
As the ten combat battalions of the Renaissance Army formed a battle formation and pushed forward, the countless black ghost fogs in this ghost domain were swept away quickly by the blood and wolf smoke emitted by the military formation and evaporated.
Seeing this situation, all the evil ghosts hiding in the ghost realm could no longer hide.
If they continue to hide, their combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened after the negative energy of this ghost land is evaporated by the blood and smoke of the human army.
At that time, under the sweep of the blood and blood smoke triggered by the military killing formation, they still had nowhere to hide and did not even have the strength to resist.
All the evil spirits in this ghost domain rushed out from their hiding places, emitting bursts of piercing and eerie howls, and under the leadership of dozens of level four weirdos, they pounced on these invading humans!
"Sure enough! These evil spirits are all dressed like Hu soldiers!"
"The rumors are indeed reliable. The intelligence work of the Military Intelligence Department is very thorough. All the evil spirits entrenched in this ancient battlefield were killed here by Geshu Han, a famous general in the middle and late Tang Dynasty!"
"Kill all the evil spirits transformed from the wronged souls of the Hu people! It's not enough that they harmed us Han people when they were alive, and they are not at peace even after death. We must make their souls fly away!"
"All soldiers, listen up! You must hold your ground and maintain the military killing formation at all times. Don't let the evil spirits break you apart!"
"The number of these evil spirits is greater than the number of our soldiers. We must not be careless!"...
Seeing countless evil spirits pouring out from all directions of this ghost domain, and then rushing towards them madly under the leadership of a group of level 4 weirdos, the commanders of the combat camps began to issue battle orders calmly.
"The Seven Star Bagua Formation rotates and moves!"
"It goes on and on, forever!"
Under the command of the Qi Refining Realm generals, the military killing formations immediately began to operate at full capacity.
The figures of the soldiers were pulled by the Qi of the Qi Refining Realm general who presided over the military formation. They kept turning and changing, and rushed towards the densely packed evil spirits that were attacking!
"Archer! Three shots!"
"preparation!"
"put!"
The first to show their power were the large number of archers in each combat camp. They held second-level magical bows and arrows, and in an instant they shot out magical arrows one after another, like a violent storm, covering the dense evil spirits that were attacking them head-on.
These magical arrows wrapped in the power of qi and blood are extremely lethal to these evil spirits.
"Ow..."
Thousands of evil spirits charging in the front were immediately covered by a rain of arrows, and fell to the ground in large numbers!
After they died, they turned into ghost mists, which were evaporated by the blood and energy shrouded in the magic arrows, leaving only black soul beads in their place.
This wave of arrow rain killed only the first and second level evil spirits, and those that fell to the ground were all low-level soul beads.
The soldiers launched a wave of arrow rain attacks, killing about 10% of the low-level evil spirits, and achieved great results.
There were suddenly ten empty areas where the densely packed and madly rushing evil spirits were, making the fourth-level monsters who were holding the rear in the rear so angry that they started screaming one by one.
They led a large number of evil spirits and rushed towards the camps of the Renaissance Army at an increasingly rapid speed.
The Ghost King, whose intelligence is no different from that of ordinary people, knows very well that only by rushing into the enemy's formation can he cause casualties to the enemy.
Once we allow these human warriors to launch waves of arrow rain and covering fire at us, it is estimated that it won't take long before tens of thousands of low-level evil spirits will be shot dead!
Under the command of the Ghost King in this ghost domain, dozens of level four strange figures flashed, like black lightning, and pounced swiftly on the oncoming human army!
These fourth-level monsters are different from the demon beasts, monsters, and human warriors of the same level. Because of their special racial talents, they have all awakened their innate magical powers. Their bodies look no different from ordinary people, and their pitch-black bodies are as solid as substance.
The violent counterattack launched by this group of evil spirits came so suddenly that the soldiers were frightened.
Everyone was on high alert and did not dare to let their guard down. Under the command of the Qi Refining Realm generals, they quickly prepared for the battle.
