special living dead

Chapter 223 Adventure Mercenary
It is not difficult for me to find the mass graves. After leaving the city, I walked along a small road for about five miles, and I could already feel the strong Yin energy ahead.

I released Xiaomei from the soul urn, and as soon as Xiaomei came out, she immediately said: "Master, the yin energy ahead is very heavy."

I smiled and said, "I found it specially for you, let's go, let's go and have a look."

There is a mountain ridge in front, but it is not high. After turning over the mountain ridge, there is a small river ditch that has dried up. There is a strong yin in the ditch. When I walked down, I stepped on a human bone, and there were many more tattered clothes.

In the local area, it is called Sickle Bay. It is said that during the previous war, a tragic war took place here, many people died, and all the bodies were buried here. In some nearby countryside, women gave birth to children at home very early. Well, all the children who died young were brought to this sickle bay to be buried.

The strong Yin Qi made me feel a little uncomfortable, but Xiaomei liked it very much, breathing in the Yin Qi emanating from the ground.

The reason why the sickle bay is so cloudy is also because of the feng shui here. In front of it is a mountain ridge with overgrown trees, and the entire river ditch of the sickle bay is shaped like a sickle. Sickle Shade, all the yin energy from the surroundings gathered here, and in addition to the fact that many people had died before, the yin energy was naturally very heavy.

I was walking casually in the sickle bay, but I didn't go far, but I came across a ghost, which crawled out of a coffin next to it, and immediately opened its teeth and claws when it saw a stranger.

But he didn't attack me easily, probably because he knew that I was not easy to mess with, but Xiaomei didn't send him over, and rushed over all of a sudden, pounced on me.

Naturally, this ghost was unwilling to be swallowed by Xiaomei, and immediately resisted and fought.I didn't make a move either, with Xiaomei's skill, it's very easy to deal with this kind of ghost who has just become a climate.

After a few strokes, the ghost was eaten up by Xiaomei, and Xiaodouzi said, "Sister, why don't you eat everything."

Xiaomei stuck out her tongue at Xiaodouzi and me and said, "Master, devouring ghosts is better than absorbing Yin Qi. Please help me see if there are any ghosts around here."

I nodded and made a knot in my hand. Suddenly, more than a dozen ghosts appeared in the sickle dog. However, these ghosts were very ordinary and hadn't matured yet. They were probably people who had just died and found them from the city. Come to Sickle Bay and use the yin energy here to nourish yourself.

It's a pity that these guys met Xiaomei and me. Xiaomei was so excited that she rushed forward and devoured all these ghosts in a short while.

One night, the entire Sickle Bay was disturbed by Xiaomei, and Xiaomei found out many lurking ghosts and devoured them. The most obvious effect was that Xiaomei returned from a ghost body to a solid state. Looking at her, she can no longer see that she is a ghost, she is the same as a real person.

I looked at the time, it was past five o'clock in the morning, and the ghosts in Liandao Bay were almost cleaned up, so I called Xiaomei to leave Liandao Bay and return to Yili.

We went back to the hotel. After a short rest, we went to have some breakfast early in the morning. I planned to go out for a walk. First, I came to inquire about the news about Qianhun Peak, and I came to buy some necessary items after entering the mountain. take it with you.

I walked and walked, and I didn’t know how I came to a street that looked very special. There were no shops here, it was just a bare street, but on both sides of the street, some people were standing or sitting, and some stalls were set up. , a bit like the antique street I encountered in Dunhuang before.

I walked slowly along the street, looking at the things on the stalls, but I was very disappointed, I didn't see anything really valuable, the things that were blown up by peddlers were very common, and many of them were even counterfeit Fake, synthetic, I can tell at a glance.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion ahead, and I heard someone say: "Form a team to explore the Tianshan Mountains, recruit six companions, and sign up if you are willing."

I saw a lot of people running over to watch. I was squatting at a small stall at this time. I valued a sandalwood comb.

I asked, "Brother, what are they doing?"

The stall owner was a middle-aged man in his 30s, with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a high nose bridge. He said, "Listen to your accent, are you from out of town? This street is called Adventure Street. In our place, those of us Everyone has a special title called Adventure Mercenary."

"Adventure mercenary?" This title is a bit new. I've only heard of mercenaries, bounty hunters, and so on, but I haven't heard of adventure mercenaries yet.

The man said: "Adventurous mercenaries are a major feature of the Western Regions. Judging by your appearance, you also know something. The Western Regions have been extremely mysterious since ancient times. There are 36 countries in the Western Regions, there is a dead Lop Nur, there is a fantasy ghost city, and The mysterious Tianshan Mountains is a paradise for adventurers and explorers. I don’t know when adventure mercenaries appeared in the Western Regions. At first they just formed gangs, went exploring, and robbed tombs, and later evolved into mercenaries. Holiday If you are an explorer or archaeologist, and you are worried about encountering unknown and terrifying things in the mountains, then you need to use our adventure mercenaries."

When I heard this, I probably understood the meaning of adventure mercenaries. They are similar in nature to bounty hunters and mercenaries. They are to protect these archaeologists and explorers and collect commissions.Or form a team by yourself and go to Lop Nur or Tianshan Mountains to explore. After all, one person's power is limited, and there are many people with great strength.

I smiled and said, "So, you are also an adventurous mercenary?"

The middle-aged man smiled wryly and said, "I can barely count." As he spoke, he pointed to a five-pointed star badge on his chest and said, "I am the lowest-level one-star adventure mercenary, and these things are from the last few expeditions. The team went to dig an ancient tomb, so I shared this little thing. The higher the star rating, the more powerful the adventure mercenary, and the higher the reward. But now most adventure mercenaries choose a minimum reward, and then The things obtained from the expedition shall be distributed proportionally."

I asked a little casually: "Then who evaluates your so-called star rating?"

The middle-aged man said: "Of course it was assessed by the Adventure Mercenary Union, why? Are you also interested in being an Adventure Mercenary?" I waved my hand and said, "I'm not that interested, by the way, I'll ask you something, you know Is the exact location of Thousand Soul Peak?"

When the man heard me mention Qianhun Peak, his face immediately changed, and he lowered his voice and said, "Why are you asking about Qianhun Peak? This Qianhun Peak is the main altar of the Moon Worship Sect, and the Moon Worship Sect dominates the Western Regions." , often bullying ordinary adventurous mercenaries like us, what we are most afraid of is to go to Tianshan to explore, meet people who worship the moon, good luck, hand in things, can get back a life, bad luck, people and things can't be saved The Moon Worship Sect can be said to be the enemy of our adventurous mercenaries."

I smiled and said, "I'm just curious. As you know, I'm not a local. I've heard of the Moon Worship Sect in Qianhun Peak, so I just asked casually."

The middle-aged man said: "This Moon Worship Sect can't be mentioned indiscriminately. As for the specifics of Qianhun Peak, I don't know. Some senior adventure mercenaries should know."

After I nodded, I bought a sandalwood comb for 800 yuan. Originally, the comb only cost 500 yuan. I gave the hawker 300 yuan more. He said: "Brother, I can see that you are not a simple person, but I advise you not to think about Qianhun Peak. There are many treasures there, but it is a forbidden place for adventurous mercenaries."

I nodded and said: "Thank you for reminding me." I combed the sandalwood to Xiaomei, but Xiaomei was so happy that her face turned red, which made Xiaodouzi laugh beside her.After I gave her the comb, I quickly walked forward, and Xiaodouzi said, "Daddy, aren't we going back to the hotel?"

I nodded and said, "Don't go back yet, Dad has already figured out how to get to Qianhun Peak."

With that said, I led the two of them towards the crowded crowd ahead.
