"How is that possible? I didn't see many people along the way."

"It's better to be careful. The security in Dragon Country is getting stricter and stricter now."

The people in the tent were Bill, a senior executive of the Jiu Tou Niao headquarters, and his men. Bill nodded and asked, "How far is it to Fengmen Village?"

The subordinate checked the electronic map and replied, "Boss, it's about 150 kilometers away."

Bill complained, "There's not even a good road in this shabby place." He shook his head and continued to make arrangements, "Everyone take a break, and the sentries continue to patrol. If anyone gets close..."

Before he finished speaking, a bell rang. Bill instinctively turned off the flashlight and looked over. Under the moonlight, a group of people wearing black hooded cloaks were slowly approaching.

"What's going on? Where's the sentry? Why didn't anyone report it?" Bill and his men were terrified. "These people appeared so strangely that we didn't even notice them."

Bill frowned as he looked at the group of people until they stopped to rest beside a large stone pillar. He waved his hand to signal everyone to keep quiet, and then whispered, "Everyone, be on alert!"

In another corner, Zhang Qilin caught a glimpse of a huge rock on the side of the road, so he slowed down his pace, turned around leisurely, and the soul-calling bell in his hand rang.

"Ring ring ring..."

The bell rings in the silent mountains, and the pale moonlight shines on every silent figure.

Zhang Qilin sang softly while shaking the soul-calling bell.

"Borrow the power of the Tiangang Beidou, draw the light of the Disha Nanxing, and obey my orders!"

"Stop!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Qilin shook the soul-calling bell again.

"Ring ring ring..."

Guided by the ringing sound, the ten figures behind him lowered their arms which were originally raised.

Zhang Qilin breathed a sigh of relief, bent down and peeled off the yellow talisman paper on his trouser leg, looked at it in the moonlight for a moment, and talked to himself.

"The magical talisman bestowed by Shopkeeper Zhang is indeed extraordinary."

"The speed of driving corpses has increased by more than ten times!"

"If we continue like this, we might be able to reach the military zone tomorrow."

He recalled the scene when a van turned around and fled in panic when he was walking on the road with these figures, and he couldn't help feeling helpless.

“Although walking on the road is faster, there are too many people and too many eyes.”

“In comparison, the mountain road is rugged but more stable.”

While thinking, Zhang Qilin suddenly shut up, moved his ears slightly, and caught the subtle footsteps around him.

He carefully put the magic talisman into his pocket and scanned the weeds and trees around him with a sharp gaze.

This footsteps...

Could it be that someone was secretly following him? Zhang Qilin sat on a boulder to take a short break, not taking the group of people seriously, because they were still far away and their aura was not strong enough to impact these figures.

He picked up a dead branch and started drawing on the ground.

Bill, who was lurking in the dark, frowned and stared at the group of people, with doubts in his heart.

Judging from their actions, it was obvious that they were not coming for them.

But how could such a group of people appear out of nowhere in the middle of the night in the wilderness?

Nowadays, people value their lives like gold, and few are willing to go out late at night for fear of getting into unnecessary trouble.

But these people...

"Boss, do you want to get rid of them?" Bill's men asked.

Bill narrowed his eyes and carefully observed Zhang Qilin and the figures beside him.

Zhang Hao once taught Zhang Qilin that when driving a corpse, the corpse should be covered with a cloak or other covering. If there is no cloak or other covering, wild grass can be used to cover it.

This can not only block the evil spirit emitted by the corpse, but also reduce the fright to passers-by.

Therefore, when Bill looked at the figure beside Zhang Qilin at this moment, he did not recognize that it was the killer of the Nine-headed Bird.

He shook his head and said softly, "These people are a little weird. Let's not alert them first and see what their purpose is!"

The men looked at each other and felt that Bill was being too cautious.

These people are eccentric, but nothing special.

The only puzzling thing is that I was completely unaware of their presence when they appeared near me.

At this moment, Zhang Qilin looked back at those figures, suddenly stood up, as if he thought of something.

"If we attach the magic talisman to these figures..."

"Will they go faster?"

Thinking of this idea, Zhang Qilin hurriedly took out a pen, yellow paper and cinnabar from his arms.

He quickly drew the symbol of the magic talisman on the yellow paper, nodded with satisfaction, and then pasted it on a figure.

Then Zhang Qilin pointed at the figure with the magic talisman attached to him, and the corpse-driving bell in his hand rang again.

"Ring ring ring..."

"Use the power of the Tiangang Beidou and the light of the Disha Nanxing. Follow my command and rise!"

As the words fell, the figure suddenly opened his eyes and raised his arms.

"Move forward!" Zhang Qilin shouted softly.

The figure with the magic talisman on him immediately jumped forward after hearing the order.

However, this step was not as far as imagined. It only jumped about one meter towards the corpse-driving bell in Zhang Qilin's hand.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Qilin couldn't help but shook his head and thought secretly in his heart.

It seems that the speed of the figure's movement depends only on the corpse driver.

The faster the corpse driver moves, the faster the figure moves. This magic talisman has no obvious effect when stuck on the figure.

The experiment failed and Zhang Qilin reluctantly sat back on the boulder and continued to ponder the method of drawing talismans that Zhang Hao taught him.

The people from the Nine-headed Bird all breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Zhang Qilin's actions just now.

"The boss is either a weirdo or a charlatan. I think we are overthinking it!"

"Yeah, Boss, it's obviously not normal for this guy to ring bells and gongs in the middle of the night."

"Boss, should we deal with them directly? Otherwise, there will be more trouble!" At this time, Bill shook his head. Since he had confirmed that these people were neither from the military nor the police, he did not take them seriously.

And from their behavior just now, Bill didn't think these people could pose a threat to him, so he said, "Dealing with them is the trouble. Even if he is a lunatic, if his body is found the next day, we will be in a more passive position."

"Where do you think this is? This is Dragon Country territory!"

"Since he doesn't pose a threat to us, let's ignore him. Let's find a place to rest quickly. We still have to continue heading to Fengmen Village!" Bill waved his hand and gave the order.

The members of the Nine-headed Bird responded one after another, retreated quietly, and after maintaining a certain distance, they set up the tents with peace of mind.

Due to Zhang Qilin's presence, Bill led the team away from that area, making sure to keep a sufficient distance from Zhang Qilin just in case.

"Boss, I always feel that the person just now gave me an inexplicable sense of familiarity. It's really strange!" One of the subordinates couldn't help but express his doubts to Bill.

Bill didn't take it too seriously. He got into his sleeping bag and replied calmly, "How can a mentally ill person make you feel this way? If you're really worried, go back and check it out."

He then ordered: "Tell the patrolmen that smoking is strictly prohibited. Both light and dark sentries must stay awake and change shifts every hour. The password tonight is 'There is someone under the moon.'" After saying that, Bill closed his eyes, and his men muttered to themselves that he didn't want to provoke that seemingly crazy man.

As Bill's orders were passed on, peace gradually returned to the tent.

After an unknown amount of time, Bill felt a hand pressing heavily on his chest in his sleep, making him a little breathless. He opened his eyes and looked around sleepily, and was surprised to find that there was a person lying next to him, and this person was his old acquaintance - the boss!

Bill sat up in fear, a series of questions flashing through his mind. He had clearly heard that the boss had met with an accident in Fengmen Village, so how could he suddenly appear here?

Bill, who was always cautious and ruthless, kicked the boss hard, but it seemed that the kick was in vain. He suddenly opened his eyes and found himself still lying in the dark tent, and the boss' figure had disappeared.

"Huh" Bill breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that everything just now was just a dream.

"This boss is really not letting me rest in peace even after his death." Bill wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and prepared to continue resting. However, at this moment, he caught a glimpse of a tall black shadow appearing outside the tent.

"Who?!" Bill woke up instantly and looked at the dark shadow outside the tent vigilantly.

The moonlight shone on the tent, making the shadow look even more eerie. Bill pushed his subordinate next to him, and he woke up from his nightmare and looked at the shadow outside the tent in horror.

"Boss, what's wrong?" asked the subordinate.

Bill pointed at the shadow on the tent without saying anything. His men looked at the shadow in confusion, "Is this a patrol sentry?"

Bill signaled his men to go out and check the situation. The men carefully opened the zipper of the tent and stuck their heads out to check. However, what he saw was a strange figure in a black cloak standing there quietly.

The men immediately recognized this figure as similar to the strange characters they had encountered before. What surprised him even more was that the logo of their Nine-Headed Bird organization was revealed under the cloak of this figure!

"Is this the armband of our Nine-headed Bird? Could it be one of our own?" The subordinate was full of doubts and uneasiness. However, when he tried to ask this strange figure, the corpse suddenly opened its eyes, revealing a terrifying face.

The men were so frightened that they screamed and fell to the ground. At this time, screams of terror were heard from other tents, and the whole camp fell into chaos.

Bill had an ominous premonition in his heart, and he quickly picked up his gun and prepared for battle. However, at this moment, he felt a dry, wrinkled, blue-black hand on his shoulder. Bill slowly turned his head and saw the boss's terrifying face.

"Ah!" Bill screamed in horror, "Ghost!"

When Bill witnessed the horrifying scene, his whole body trembled violently and the gun in his hand slipped out of his hand unconsciously.

Those figures are even more creepy than ghosts!

All of a sudden, everyone fled from the tent in panic, gathered together, and looked at each other. Someone said in a trembling voice:

"What a ghost! I just saw them in my dream, and when I woke up I actually saw these scary evil ghosts!"

"You had this dream too? I thought I was the only one having this nightmare!"

"I had the same dream. Is it the same for everyone? Are these things human or ghost?"

"Never mind, just shoot first!"

……

……

At the same time, Zhang Qilin, who was not far away, stood up quietly, glanced at everyone with a cold look, and said to himself:

"Anyone who violates the rules of my inn will be punished."

At first, Zhang Qilin noticed that these people quietly evacuated and did not intend to pursue them. However, the corpses he brought seemed to have some mysterious connection with them. Whenever these people approached, the corpses would become abnormally agitated.

This made Zhang Qilin deeply confused.

So he decided to release the control of the corpses to see what they wanted to do. As a result, the corpses led him all the way to Bill's camp.

The corpses seemed to have some kind of close connection with these people, and Zhang Qilin couldn't help but recall what Zhang Hao had said.

Although a corpse is a product of a person's death, if they have obsessions during their lifetime, it may cause the corpse to be incorruptible and can affect the behavior of the corpse according to the obsession.

For example, if a person who died of drowning has obsessions after death, it is easy for him to become a water ghost, waiting for the next person to fall into the water.

These people of the Nine-Headed Bird died in despair, waiting for rescue from the upper levels. This may be their obsession.

Now, they finally saw the people from the Nine-headed Bird, and the corpses naturally approached them.

This scene made Zhang Qilin certain that these people were members of the Nine-headed Bird.

Although they were wearing casual clothes, they were wearing special Nine-Headed Bird sweatshirts underneath, which had the Nine-Headed Bird logo printed on them, making them very easy to identify.

Zhang Qilin naturally had no good impression of the people from the Nine-headed Bird. After all, they had broken into his inn before.

The purpose of these people is obvious, they come to Yin Yang Inn to cause trouble!

Since they had come across this, Zhang Qilin would naturally not let it go. He couldn't let them cause trouble at the Yin Yang Inn.

Zhang Qilin reached behind his back and grasped the handle of the black gold ancient sword. But he hesitated for a moment and finally did not pull out the black gold ancient sword.

"Using the Black Gold Ancient Sword against you is simply an insult to it."

"Moreover, the shopkeeper said that corpse drivers must not kill innocent people while driving corpses, so as to avoid suffering karma..."

Thinking of this, Zhang Qilin raised the corpse-driving bell in his hand, shook it vigorously, and shouted loudly:
"Ring ring ring..."

"Tian Gang Bei Dou, Di Sha Nan Xing, obey my command!"

"Corpse, get up!"

Now, Zhang Qilin has been able to skillfully manipulate the corpse to perform some simple movements. Not only ordinary jumps and turns, but also the corpse can impact and slash.

During the boring corpse-driving journey, Zhang Qilin often studied these techniques during breaks. Now, controlling all the corpses to chase the nine-headed bird was very easy for him.

"Run! This is not a human!"

"It's the boss who came back to find us after his death!"

"I don't want to die, I don't want to be killed by a ghost...save me!"

When had the people of Nine-Headed Bird ever seen such a scene? They were so frightened when they saw the hideous corpses rushing towards them. Thinking that these people had been dead for a long time, what else could they be if not ghosts? (End of this chapter)
