The Emperor is Above

Chapter 388: If You Don’t Listen, I’ll Dig a Hole and Bury You Alive

The people in the wilderness may have long been accustomed to migration, and even the elderly, the weak, women and children move very quickly.

Twenty-two thousand people, with their families, traveled the hundred-mile distance from the Jiliu tribe back to Cheying and arrived at dusk.

Just think about it, the tribes in the northern border were chased for thousands of miles by the Ghost Witch Army. Those who ran slowly had already died on the way to escape. The people left in front of us are of course the ones who ran fast.

Qing Yi did not ride the Great Wilderness Dragon Vultures. He let them patrol the sky and keep out foreign enemies, and capture some large prey to provide a snack for the migrating team along the way.

He himself, accompanied by Liu Yi, Fu Shou and others, walked with a group of more than 20,000 migrating wild people, which greatly improved his favorability.

When they were still more than ten miles away from the chariot camp, Qing Yi noticed that around the saltwater lake formed by the battlefield, thousands of private soldiers and militiamen were working hard to clean up the battlefield.

The vast snowfield was covered with white snow five or six feet thick, but the battlefield was covered with large areas of black mud, and the contrast between black and white was extremely strong.

Many private soldiers and militiamen were covered in mud and stains, but they were still digging enthusiastically, and from time to time someone would excitedly show off what they had found.

Gongsun Wu, who was leading people to dig the soil nearby, heard the cry of the Great Wilderness Dragon Vulture in the sky. He looked up and saw Qing Yi appear. He excitedly came to greet him and said, "Master, we have found a lot of good things."

Glancing at Dongmen Hu, Dongmen Bao, Chai Yong, Daniu, Mu Yi and others who were working hard in the distance, Qing Yi couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Brother Gongsun, last night Mr. Wu Liu fought with the Ghost King, and the entire battlefield with a radius of a thousand feet collapsed and was buried several feet or even dozens of feet deep. What on earth did you find?"

"Look, my Lord. We have dug out the skeletons of sixteen giant beast puppets and the bone altars used by the Ghost Witch Tribe, the Green Ghost Tribe, the Red Ghost Tribe and other vassal settlements."

Gongsun Wu's handsome face was filled with a sunny smile, which stunned Liu Xu behind him. He smiled unconsciously,
"The Lord went through so much trouble to defeat the powerful enemies of the Ghost Witch Tribe. They left so many good things behind. We have to find them all even if we have to dig 30 feet underground. Otherwise, won't it be easy for others to take advantage of it?"

Liu Yi did not notice that his cousin was being obsessed with him. He glanced at the huge beast skeletons piled up into a small hill and could not help but exclaimed in surprise:

"Master Gongsun, these things were buried deep underground and moved around. It's not easy to locate them accurately. How did you find them?"

Gongsun Wu smiled and pointed to the distance, where the fat little boy Tun Kejin was riding a round white pig, strolling around with a proud look on his face.

The baby pig's round butt kept twisting, its slender tail swinging back and forth, its chubby nose sniffing the fishy mud, and it occasionally let out a loud cry.

Someone came up and inserted a branch, and then other private soldiers and militiamen came over to dig, and soon their cheers were heard, obviously they had found good spoils again.

Seeing this scene, Qing Yi immediately understood what was going on. He smiled and said, "It turned out to be the credit of Baozhu. This is really making the best use of everything!"

The people of the Jiliu tribe led by Liu Yi and the people of the Great Wilderness led by Fu Shou did not understand what the treasure pig was all about. Qing Yi gave them a brief introduction of the treasure pig's magical abilities, which caused a burst of exclamations.

Gongsun Wu also smiled and explained to everyone: “Initially, the entire battlefield was completely turned upside down. Thousands of us started yesterday morning and it took a lot of effort to dig out a few broken bones.

Fortunately, the precious pig of the precious son of Master Gu Shangshi is very magical. It can quickly find the exact location of these things. As long as we dig according to the pig's guidance, we will definitely find good treasures.

As for being able to quickly excavate these giant beast puppets and bone altars in a short period of time, it was also thanks to the twelve giant warriors brought by Uncle Fish King.

They dug very quickly, and successfully dug out the skeletons of twelve giant beast puppets yesterday, and it was not until this morning that all the giant beast puppets were dug out. "

Qing Yi nodded slightly, and years ago he took Wangmang Fish King, Wangmang Qiji, and Wangmang Qubing to dig up the skeleton of the ancient giant beast. As a result, they dug up an ancient battlefield that dated back tens of thousands of years.

With the huge bodies of the Wangmang giants, they have a great advantage in digging out the skeletons buried deep underground, and they are also quite experienced.

Gongsun Wu introduced and led the way: "Ever since these giant beast puppets were dug out, Yang Hu, Zhu Zhiwu and other imperial students have almost gone crazy. They took the initiative to clean them up, fearing that people like us who don't understand runes would damage them."

Now Fu Shou and other leaders of various tribes could not help laughing. Xiong Zhong even grinned and said, "It would be great if the giant beast puppets were so easy to damage. We had several battles with the Ghost Witch Tribe in the past, and we rushed to them at the risk of losses, but we couldn't damage them at all." On a wide open space outside the car camp, the cleaned giant beast puppets were piled up like a hill. Yang Hu, Zhu Zhiwu and the other 65 imperial students were extremely excited.

No matter they were talisman masters, mechanical engineers or weapon refiners, they all rushed over with shining eyes, carefully exploring the secrets of the giant beast puppet, and would suddenly let out a burst of exclamation, attracting the attention of other imperial students around them.

Yang Hu was the calmest among the students of the Imperial Academy. He asked Xizi, Huaimu, Shitou and Mengzi, a group of young men, to bring out more than 20 captured puppet masters and interrogate them one by one.

When Qing Yi strode over with Gongsun Wu, Liu Yi, Fu Shou and others, they heard the leading puppeteer earnestly answering the questions of Yang Hu and others about the giant beast puppet.

In fact, Qing Yi had long been curious about the true identities and origins of these puppet masters, and he wanted to know the status of their Puppet Beast Division in the Ghost Witch Division.

There were a total of twenty-four captured puppet masters, each of them was extremely skinny and severely malnourished, with dull and bewildered expressions, but no sign of fear.

“You are indeed puppeteers that the Ghost and Witch Department highly values. You are adept at the comprehensive use of runes, mechanical arts, formations, and puppetry.

You don't have to worry about being executed as prisoners of war. I will ask the Lord to spare your lives. Many years of research on giant beast puppets cannot be easily interrupted."

Yang Hu said this sincerely, and then he realized that Qing Yi and others were behind him after being reminded by Zhu Zhiwu. He bowed and said, "I wonder how the doctor will deal with them?"

Qing Yi smiled softly: "Didn't we agree on this the night before last? We will try to capture them alive and interrogate them later. If they don't behave, we will just dig a hole and bury them alive. Maybe if we water them a little, we can harvest a bunch of puppeteers next year."

Many puppeteers remained expressionless under Qing Yi's threat, as if they hadn't heard anything. Only a few of them had a flicker in their eyes, but they didn't dare to say a word.

"Ugh--"

Finally, the puppeteer who explained to Yang Hu stood up. He was about sixty years old and extremely thin. He sighed with a sad face,

"We have been researching giant beast puppets for more than 30 years, but even if we have developed a giant beast puppet, what can we do?

We risked being cursed by the world and worked hard to successfully research the giant beast puppet under the Ghost Witch Department, but when the time came, we were still vulnerable.

Just ask whatever you want to know. We don’t have many years left to live anyway. It’s just that the power of the giant beast puppet is too disappointing.”

The puppeteer's sad look made Qing Yi want to laugh. He guessed that the other party was frightened by the battle the night before.

During the battle, Qing Luo materialized three thousand giant warriors of the Wangmang clan, which not only shocked many wilderness people in the chariot camp, but also had a great impact on the puppet masters who were facing the giant army.

The fruit of their decades of hard work, especially the largest behemoth puppet that made them so proud, was simply vulnerable to the siege of the giant army.

In just a moment, before they could react, dozens of totem warriors on the giant beast puppet were all killed, and the entire giant beast puppet was torn into pieces.

Only Qing Yi himself knew that, because the Wangmang clan giants had lost their inherited martial arts skills in the past few thousand years, they had always been regarded as being comparable to fifth-grade warriors after adulthood.

However, the army of giants that Qing Luo materialized through illusion, each of them had the powerful strength of a third-grade combat master. Facing such a powerful army, even a first-grade grandmaster could be exhausted to death.

The behemoth puppets studied by puppeteers are truly suitable for the battlefield where they are used to attack large-scale ordinary armies. They can be called powerful weapons of war.

Qing Yi thought about this in his heart, but there was no smile on his face. He suddenly shouted, "You passed by the Fuhu tribe 20 years ago, and said you came from Weiguo south of the river. But there are no people like you in Weiguo. Where did you come from?"
