The flames burned rapidly on the corpses of the ghosts, forming a wall of fire between the group of ghosts and Qin Zhibo.

Shocked by the light and heat, the ghost dared not go forward, and could only look at Qin Zhibo with hatred through the flames with bloodshot eyes.

At this time, the large army of ghouls also arrived.

Due to the need to go to the waking world through the ashes space all the year round, ghouls and ghosts, gug giants and other underground creatures are in a state of opposition.

The so-called enemies are extremely jealous when they meet, dozens of ghouls rush down from the steps one after another, and immediately roar at the ghosts through the flames.

Although the ghosts are more dominant in number, they are blocked by the flame wall, and Qin Zhibo, who has been possessed by the God of War, hacked and killed dozens of them. in the dark.

Qin Zhibo looked back at the group of ghouls behind him, and a familiar person came out.

"Mr. Qin, we meet again."

The person who came was Matsumoto Ryohei.

Now, compared to the last time he met, his appearance has become closer to a ghoul, and his mouth has become particularly prominent, more and more like a "dog".

Seeing Matsumoto Ryohei, Qin Zhibo asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Matsumoto Ryohei turned his head and pointed to the high steps behind, "It was the lady who found us and said that you were in trouble underground..."

Qin Zhibo looked in the direction of his finger, Koizumi Hongzi was standing there.

It turned out that after Koizumi Hongzi climbed up, he quickly found the ghouls living in Xin's tombs.

These ghouls brought people to Matsumoto Ryohei again. After Matsumoto Ryohei heard the ins and outs of the matter, he rushed over with a large number of ghouls to support.

"Okay, this is not a place to talk, let's go up quickly."

"Gu-guling!"

Matsumoto Ryohei said something to Qin Zhibo, and then greeted the ghouls, and the many ghouls turned around like a well-disciplined army and returned in unison.

……

Under the gray-green sky, ghouls came out of holes in the plain.

Two of the discordant figures were Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi.

The two followed dozens of ghouls and returned to the ghouls' camp.

It is said to be a camp, but it is actually a large cemetery composed of tombstones stolen by ghouls from all over the world.

This is an ancient custom of the traditional ghouls. If they take away the corpse in the tomb, they must bring back the tombstone of the corpse and erect it on the tomb of Xin.

Ghouls don't produce tombstones, they're just tombstone movers.

And now there are countless tombstones standing on this plain, which is enough to show how many corpses the ghouls, as the decomposers of nature, have digested.

In the camp of the ghouls, Qin Zhibo, who was exhausted, first proposed to take a good rest.

In the world of eternal daylight, he has gradually lost the concept of time, only knowing that his body is very tired now.

The ability of the Oath Keeping Sword to cut through demons and heretics is indeed powerful, but even in the dreamland, the consumption of physical strength is very huge.

In addition to meeting Satogua and seeing all kinds of secrets in the Temple of Enkai, the loss of will has never had a chance to make up.

Qin Zhibo put forward his appeal, and soon, Matsumoto Ryohei arranged a relatively clean burrow for the two.

If you ignore the small pile of bones left over from eating at the entrance of the cave and the stench it emits, this is already the most ideal living environment these days.

Koizumi Hongzi sniffed her arm, not satisfied with her cleanliness, so she asked Matsumoto Ryohei: "... May I ask if there is a place where I can take a bath?"

Matsumoto Ryohei showed an apologetic smile, "If you want to take a bath here, it's best to wait for the rainy day..."

"If you want to take a bath on non-rainy days, there is a reservoir underground here, which is a public bath for ghouls."

When she heard that she had to share the pool with the ghoul, Koizumi Hongzi immediately shook her head in fright.

Qin Zhibo himself is a rough guy, it doesn't matter whether he takes a shower or not, what he wants to do most now is sleep.

He chose a bed, which was actually a spacious coffin board covered with soft dry thatch.

Not long after, Qin Zhibo, who was lying on the coffin board, fell asleep.

In his sleep, he once again came to the long ladder into the dreamland.

Looking at the familiar stairs in front of him, Qin Zhibo was a little surprised. Could it be that people who have already entered the dreamland can enter the dream again?

Double dream?A dream within a dream?

What Inception?
But right now, I just want to get a better rest, and exploring the dreamland also requires energy.

Therefore, Qin Zhibo rejected the dream invitation from the dreamland, and fell into a deep sleep.

……

When Qin Zhibo opened his eyes sleepily, he was awakened by the noise outside the cave entrance.

Being interrupted to rest, Qin Zhibo, who was already exhausted, was in a bad mood, so he propped up half of his body and listened to what happened outside.

There seemed to be a lot of ghouls gathered outside the cave entrance, and they kept uttering the weird language of "Gu Ling Gu Ling", as if they were having a heated conversation.

Qin Zhibo got off the bed, first moved his body, glanced at Koizumi Hongzi who was still sleeping, and then walked out of the cave.

On the plain, dozens of ghouls gathered together, and three elder-level ghouls were sitting in the center, presiding over the overall situation.

Qin Zhibo found Matsumoto Ryohei, who was still quite eye-catching among the ghouls, patted him on the shoulder from behind, and asked, "Hey, what happened?"

Matsumoto Ryohei looked back at Qin Zhibo, a little surprised, "You woke up so soon?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't wake up, I heard your voices in the cave..." Qin Zhibo replied angrily.

Matsumoto Ryohei smiled awkwardly, and introduced the reason for the quarrel to Qin Zhibo.

"You should still remember that to go to the sober world from here, you must pass the tallest tower in the dungeon of the Gug giant?"

Qin Zhibo nodded, "I remember, what's wrong?"

Matsumoto Ryohei continued: "Just now, we got news that three ghouls were captured by the Gug giants when they passed through the territory of the Gug giants."

"The Gug giants have always been somewhat afraid of the ghouls, so this has never happened before."

"Now we are discussing what to do..."

Matsumoto Ryohei has listed ghouls as "we" in his words, and it is obvious that he has completely integrated into the life of ghouls.

But the focus of Qin Zhibo's concern is not this, but the word Guge giant, which he seems to have heard in Enkaili.

He quickly took out the notebook in his arms, flipped through and found a page, which recorded the potion formula that Satogua told him in messy handwriting to resurrect the corpse of the dead.

The eyeballs of the daughter of Ithaqua, the blood of ghouls, the milk of Ipoh Zter in the tail of the night-gaunt, the poison glands of the puffer fish... the nails of the Gugs.

At that time, Qin Zhibo was fully focused on distinguishing the hazy and rough voice of Satogua and recording the names of various materials, and he didn't even think about how to obtain various materials.

But looking at it now, it seems that a lot of materials can be obtained in this dreamland.

The potion formula needed the blood of ghouls, and there happened to be dozens of ghouls here, so a little blood donation would be enough.

And the last blind Guge giant nails are also owned by the Guge giants in the dungeon.

"Then what are the ghouls going to do now?" Qin Zhibo asked anxiously.

Matsumoto Ryohei was a little puzzled by Qin Zhibo's sudden change of attitude, but when he thought that Qin Zhibo and Koizumi Hongzi would leave here from the dungeon next, he understood.

"At present, there are mainly two factions, one is the main war faction, and the other is the main peace faction."

"The elders are still hesitating, mainly because they don't want to completely fall out with the Guge giants. After all, they will continue to use the passages of the dungeon in the future, and they can't drive the Guge giants away..."

Before Matsumoto Ryohei's voice fell, Qin Zhibo raised his own doubts.

"Is the ghoul capable of driving the Gug giants to extinction?"

Judging from the experience of smuggling into the dungeon last time, he felt that the relationship between the ghouls and the Gug giants was the hostess and Jerry the mouse in "Tom and Jerry".

It's okay for the hostess to be scared by the mouse Jerry, but if it's true, humans are definitely not afraid of mice.

But back to the actual issue, the size gap between the gug giant and the ghoul is an insurmountable gap in the combat effectiveness of the two sides.

But Ryohei Matsumoto smiled and shook his head, "No, no..."

"If it is a ghoul, it will definitely not be able to defeat a Gug giant."

"However, ghouls live in groups. They have experience in fighting in groups, and they form a battle formation with Night Dire. Their fighting power is enough to fight against Gug giants!"

Nightmare? !
Qin Zhibo heard a new term from Matsumoto Ryohei, and it was one of the potion formulas given by Satogua.

"What kind of thing is Nightmare? Are you familiar with ghouls?"

Ryohei Matsumoto rubbed his protruding jaw, "I don't know much about this, but the relationship between the Night Dire and the ghoul group is very good, and the two are similar to an alliance."

Qin Zhibo nodded, he understood.

If so, then we have to fight.

……

In the camp, all the ghouls are discussing whether to attack the Guge giants.

The ghouls "Guling Guling" below were discussing and expressing their opinions, while the three elder-level ghouls sitting on the tombstone looked down calmly.

Although the discussion below was intense, it was the three elder-level ghouls who finally made the decision.

At the moment they are still hesitating.

Although the combat effectiveness of ghouls in cooperation with night-dire troops is stronger than that of Gug giants, it is possible to completely tear apart the faces of Gug giants, making every subsequent outing extremely dangerous.

Moreover, the Guge giant will not sit still, and the dungeon is likely to have stepped up its guard at this time.

While the three elder-level ghouls were thinking about how to deal with it, a human-skinned arm was suddenly raised from the edge of the ghouls.

The three elder-level ghouls froze for a moment, staring at the unusual arm and its owner.

"Gurine?"

"Cuckoo..."

Two of the elder-level ghouls exchanged for a while, and decided to let the human say what he thought.

"Ling! Lingguguling."

Under the elder's order, all the ghouls booed one after another, making way for Qin Zhibo to go forward.

Qin Zhibo and Matsumoto Ryohei walked to the front together.

Under the watchful eyes of many "dog heads", Qin Zhibo made a human voice, and Matsumoto Ryohei, as an interpreter, spoke out his thoughts.

"Although I am an outsider, as the saying goes, those who are in power are obsessed, but bystanders are clear."

"I can tell you a story... In the history of mankind, there were seven kingdoms, one of which, Qin, was stronger than any other kingdom, but as long as the six kingdoms unite, they are enough to fight against the mighty Qin. "

"But there are some weak and incompetent monarchs in the six countries. In order to bribe the Qin State not to attack them, they cut off five cities today and ten cities tomorrow, just to sleep overnight."

"In the end, Qin used this method to gradually erode the land of the six countries, and became stronger and stronger, defeating and annexing the six countries one by one."

"The lesson that human beings have learned from history is that in the face of this kind of evenly matched collision, the weaker you are, the easier it is for you to be bullied by the other side, slowly eroding and consuming the strength of the weak side."

"Today the Guge giants dare to arrest three of you, tomorrow they dare to arrest five, the day after tomorrow they dare to arrest seven, and finally..."

Qin Zhibo's words stopped abruptly at this moment.

Because he saw that all the ghouls below were staring at him blankly, and the green eyes on the dog's head were wide open.

amount……

Qin Zhibo tilted his head and asked Matsumoto Ryohei next to him in a low voice: "Am I talking too deeply? Or do you have a problem with the translation?"

Ryohei Matsumoto: "Translation is a bit difficult, I have tried my best..."

As a human being, Ryohei Matsumoto knew that Qin Zhibo was talking about the history of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, but in the history of ghouls, there was no concept of country or land.

Therefore, Ryohei Matsumoto simplified the translation a bit, simplifying the seven countries into seven ghouls, and cutting the land into cutting the flesh.

The last six ghouls had nothing to eat and had to submit to the most powerful ghoul...

Just when Qin Zhibo felt as if he was "playing the piano to the dogs", a "goo" suddenly sounded from the "dog group".

Afterwards, dozens of ghouls responded one after another, making deafening "goo" calls.

Qin Zhibo quickly tilted his head and asked, "What happened to them?"

Matsumoto Ryohei breathed a sigh of relief, and replied with a smile: "It's like they are applauding your words."

Qin Zhibo was dumbfounded, is this tm okay?
At this time, an elder-level ghoul who was entrenched on the tombstone also stood up, walked to Qin Zhibo's side, grabbed Qin Zhibo's right hand and raised it above his head.

"Mi bah! Gulinggu——"

Qin Zhibo hurriedly asked Matsumoto Ryohei, "What is he talking about?
Matsumoto Ryohei translated: "He is saying that what you said is very reasonable, and the elders have also decided to crusade against the Gug giants."

Elder Ghoul: "Bahhhhhhhhhhh..."

Ryohei Matsumoto: "Since you're smarter than 'us'..."

Elder Ghoul: "Migumigugu—!"

Ryohei Matsumoto: "You will lead the ghoul army."

Qin Zhibo: "???"
