Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 368 Who is the prey?
It was a dark and windy night, and Feng Tietou's soldiers took advantage of the darkness to surround Liu Mazi's camp.

They all had white cloth wrapped around their arms to distinguish themselves from Liu Mazi's troops who were wearing the same uniform.

The first team quietly climbed over the camp wall and killed the patrolling guards silently. The camp was completely quiet, with only snoring sounds coming from the audience, apparently without any awareness.

So they quietly opened the camp gate and let a large group of soldiers pour into the camp.

As soon as the soldiers entered the military camp, they automatically dispersed and rushed straight to their original barracks...where the soldiers under Liu Mazi were sleeping.

However, when they rushed into the barracks and hacked and stabbed at the large bunk beds, they were horrified to find that there was no one under the quilt, but rather huge oil-paper bags.

When the oil paper bag was pierced by a sharp blade, the yellow powder inside sprayed out, and the strong fishy smell immediately suffocated people. Moreover, if a little powder got on the skin, a purple spot would appear, which made people itch unbearably and lose their fighting power. Moreover, if they were not treated in time, the whole person would die from blood coagulation.

It was exactly the 'Purple Spotted Corpse Mushroom Mist' that Lord Tu had placed in the bamboo forest.

Although this poison was not particularly powerful, it was frequently used by both armies during the Six Prefectures Uprising because it was easy to prepare and had a large enough dosage to satisfy one's hunger.

Even if Feng Tietou's men had never suffered any loss, they had all heard about the power of this poison. Seeing this, they quickly covered their mouths and noses and rushed out of the barracks.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the sound of bowstrings rang out above their heads, and countless sharp arrows shot down from the roof. The soldiers of Feng's army were caught off guard in panic and were shot down with screams.

It turned out that Liu's soldiers had hidden on the roof in advance and launched a counter-attack on the attacker from a high position!
However, Feng's troops had more soldiers and were tough. They immediately raised their shields, braved the enemy's rain of arrows, jumped onto the roof, and fought fiercely with Liu's soldiers.

Liu's troops were also based on the Six Garrisons. The soldiers were highly skilled in martial arts, well-coordinated, and equally fearless of death. The two sides fought fiercely, with shouts of killing shaking the sky!

City Shoufu.

Feng Tietou also led his men to fight against Liu Mazi.

Looking at Feng Tietou who was showing his fangs, Liu Mazi sneered: "I told you that you are not so generous. You will definitely come tonight!"

"Stop talking nonsense," Feng Tietou couldn't say that it happened suddenly and I wasn't prepared. He simply stopped pretending and said with a grim smile, "If you dare to take my position, you should expect this end!"

"Give me your life!" He roared and turned into a black lightning, striking Liu Mazi in the chest.

"I'm afraid you don't have the ability!" Liu Mazi sneered and used all his strength to fight with Feng Tietou.

Feng Tietou slapped his head and his soul left his body!

His yang spirit is six feet tall and wears the same armor as him, but his eyes are bloodshot and murderous. Even without speaking, he is nine points more majestic than the original body!

Feng Tietou's Yang Spirit flashed in front of Liu Mazi, raised the gilded copper hammer in his hand, and smashed it down with black and red evil spirit, and the copper coins on the hammer head hummed and vibrated - there were tens of thousands of lives that he had refined over the years of fighting on the battlefield and slaughtering villages and destroying villages. The resentment was so heavy that ordinary Yin Spirits could not move when they heard it, and could only obediently accept the death.

With one hammer strike, the surrounding blue bricks several feet in diameter were shattered, and a large hole several feet deep was smashed into the ground.

However, Liu Mazi was already in mid-air and barely avoided the attack.

Before the smoke and dust settled, seven dark dragons of Yin Fire suddenly emerged from the pit! The dragons were formed by the resentful souls of the dead, and wherever they passed, the bricks were burned to ashes. The seven black dragons pounced on Liu Mazi together!
But Liu Mazi was not going to give in for nothing. He waved his hand and released twelve bronze puppets - they were all the 'Yin Fu Armor Soldiers' he had forged over the years by imprisoning the souls of government army generals in bronze armor.

Twelve bronze puppets stood in front of the seven Yin Fire Black Dragons. The Yin Fire of the black dragons could melt the bronze armor of the puppets, but the weapons in the hands of the bronze puppets could also cut the scales of the black dragons.

One side had more numbers than the other, and the other was stronger individually, so the battle ended in a draw.

Seeing that the Yang God was attacking him again, Liu Mazi slapped his Baihui acupoint, and released a silver-shining, 18-foot-tall Yang God, wielding a golden mace to fight with Feng Tietou's Yang God. Even their original bodies were not idle, and they also raised their weapons to fight each other to the death.

Not only are the two Nine Aperture Supremes equally powerful, their subordinates are also evenly matched. They both risk their lives to fight each other, and it is difficult to tell the winner for a while.

~~
However, Ren Yuan and his party were neither in Liu Mazi's military camp nor in the city defense office at that time. Instead, they took advantage of the fierce infighting between the two rebel forces and quietly sneaked into Feng Tietou's camp.

Feng Tietou's troops have all come out, and the camp is empty with no one in sight.

"Search!" Ren Yuan ordered in a deep voice, "Bring the person to us immediately if we find him. If there is any problem, alert us immediately."

"Yes." Song Jingxiu and others responded in a low voice, and then began to search separately in the camp.

Ren Yuan stood in the center of the camp, looking around vigilantly while waiting for the search results.

Suddenly, a quick copper whistle sounded from a barracks in the northeast corner, which was a warning signal.

Ren Yuan immediately went straight to the barracks with Song Jingxiu, Yu Tianmin and A Yao.

When he got closer, without entering the door, Ren Yuan directly split the roof of the barracks with a knife, and with a wave of his left hand, the entire roof was blown off.

The situation in the room made his pupils shrink suddenly——

Xiao Zong was indeed there, but standing next to him was a handsome middle-aged man with graying temples.

Ren Yuan walked to the ghostwriter who had just given the signal. Just as he was about to speak, the ghostwriter's arm suddenly turned at an impossible angle and the saber in his hand suddenly slashed towards his neck.

Ren Yuan was shocked by the appearance of the middle-aged man and was unable to react for a while. Fortunately, A Yao always put his safety first. The Ziwei sword shot out with lightning speed and knocked the sword away with a clang.

With a snap, the ghostwriter's arm was broken by itself...

However, he had a blank expression on his face, and it was obvious that he had become a puppet in the hands of the middle-aged man.

"Xiao Baoyin." Ren Yuan whispered the man's name.

"Yes, it is me." Xiao Baoyin nodded slightly and said, "So you are Ren Yuan?"

"Your Highness actually knows my name. Should I be flattered?" Ren Yuan smiled faintly.

"Yes, it's remarkable that you can remain calm at a time like this, even if it's just superficial calmness." Xiao Baoyin nodded approvingly, but then changed the subject and said, "But the person I'm waiting for is not you."

Then his eyes passed Ren Yuan and fell on A Yao who was standing beside him. His eyes instantly became fanatical and he said, "It's her!"

"Uncle, don't be so perverted." Yu Tianmin sneered and said, "My eldest sister has a boyfriend."

"You don't have to interrupt." Xiao Baoyin smiled and said, "Then Lord Zhui is my subordinate. Now you understand what I mean, right?"

"..." Ren Yuan and the others felt a pang in their hearts. They had been chasing prey, but they didn't expect that they themselves were also the prey.
