Chapter 169 Encounter on the Road
"Gee! Gee!"
"Run, run! The barbarians are coming!"
A man who looked like a gangster was galloping on a horse on a country road.
The fleeing man saw someone in front of him and shouted loudly.
"Swoosh~Swoosh~"
But the next moment, the barbarian soldiers chasing behind him drew their bows and arrows, and several arrows shot at everyone in an instant.
"Ding~Ding~"
The man on horseback immediately drew out a soft sword to block the arrows, but some arrows were still shot at the corpse collector and other disciples.
"These beasts!"
Seeing this scene, the man who was galloping on his horse couldn't help cursing inwardly, but he didn't dare to stop.
After all, the barbarian soldiers were numerous and powerful, and once surrounded, they would be hard to fight four hands, so he could only rush past the ox cart and continue to run forward.
However, the next moment, the corpse collector instantly took action, and a common hardwood stick in his hand turned to block the arrows, and then directly killed the barbarian soldiers.
Behind him, Shitou and Goudan, who had taken out the talisman to summon the gods, also lit the talisman one after another, and then a strange power descended on them.
"Ah~ Kill!"
The powerful sense of power directly shocked their hearts, and then they followed the corpse-collecting paper man and killed the barbarian soldiers without thinking.
The barbarian soldiers who were as fierce as wolves and tigers saw that there were still people who dared to rush towards them, and they immediately grinned, then drew out the scimitars at their waists and rode the remaining wolf beasts directly towards the three people.
"Puff~"
However, the next moment, the barbarian soldier who rushed to the front was directly blown away along with the wolf beast on him.
The bones of his body were directly broken by the powerful force, and blood spurted out of his mouth and nose. Then he fell heavily to the ground and lost his life.
Such a scene not only stunned the barbarian soldiers behind, but also made the man who had just escaped stare with wide eyes.
"Bang! Bang!"
"Ah~"
"Kill!"
"..."
Then a dozen barbarian cavalrymen were knocked away, and the less courageous barbarian soldiers were ready to turn around and flee.
"Tear~Puff~"
But then a hardwood stick flew from behind him and pierced his body directly!
The ordinary hardwood stick contained powerful power under the blessing of the corpse collector, and it could become a deadly weapon even in the hands of Shitou and Goudan who were not very skilled.
Because the power of Xigui was too special, their strength, skills, reactions, martial arts and even the control of danger were all very strong.
"Good kill!"
At this time, the man before also returned. He first praised and then dismounted and reported his origins to the corpse collector: "I am Zhang Shiyong of the Black Cloud Society. May I ask your names?"
"..."
However, after he clasped his fists, he faced several very vigilant disciples and the indifferent reaction of the corpse collector.
After dealing with these barbarian soldiers, the corpse collector began to take out the corpse bag to collect the corpse. He had no interest in the origin of this person.
And Shitou and Goudan were still in the state of being possessed by the power of Xigui, and they were also full of vigilance towards this person.
"Ahem, I just admire your martial arts, so I want to make friends with you, and I have no ill intentions."
Seeing the vigilant eyes around him, Zhang Shiyong found that he seemed to be a little reckless, so he spoke again to express his intentions.
"Now that the barbarian army is rampant, the country is in danger, and the people of Yunzhou are displaced, my Black Cloud Society has also led some people to retreat to the Leifeng Mountain area in the southwest of Yunzhou. If you don't mind, you can come here."
However, after he finished speaking, the people in front of him still had no reaction.
At this time, Shitou glanced at the corpse collector who was collecting the corpse and then replied directly to him:
"You go, my master is not interested in you!"
Where to go is always decided by the corpse collector, and they dare not agree casually.
"…In that case, I'll take my leave. If we are destined to meet again, we will meet again."
Zhang Shiyong was a little puzzled when he saw that the corpse-collecting paper man was just concentrating on collecting the barbarian soldiers, but he didn't dare to stay any longer and rode away directly.
"Huh~ I was scared to death just now!"
When the other party walked away, Goudan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the power of the summoning talisman on his body gradually dissipated.
"Hehe, it feels great to invite the ancestor to possess you, right?"
Shitou looked at him and said with a smirk.
"Great! Very great!"
"Hehe, it's just that I'm so cold now, I feel like I'm about to freeze!"
Goudan shivered, and then his teeth began to knock up and down unconsciously, and the whole person seemed to fall into an ice cave.
"You'll get used to it after a few more times, huh~"
Shitou also felt a little cold, but he was a little used to it now.
"What are you waiting for? Why don't you come and help? Do you want to tire our master to death?"
At this time, Xiao Hui's voice reached the ears of the two people, which made them startled and hurriedly picked up their own corpse bags to start working.
"Hey, this wolf is still alive!"
Suddenly, a wolf beast stood up shakily, scaring Xiao Hui who was collecting the corpse.
"Wait, don't kill it! Maybe you can use it to pull the cart!"
Seeing that Goudan was about to take action, Shitou quickly stopped him.
"That's nice to say, what should I do if this thing doesn't obey me? And this thing eats meat, right? How can we have so much meat for it to eat?"
Goudan clenched the hardwood stick in his hand and looked at the swaying wolf beast, still not daring to let down his guard.
"Why don't these barbarians have meat on their bodies? We don't dare to eat that stuff, so we can feed it to them!"
Shi Shi came to the other side of the wolf with a hard wooden stick to prevent it from running around or biting people.
"Master, should we keep it?"
Goudan was speechless, so he quickly asked the corpse collector.
"Kaka"
The corpse collector stood up and came to the wolf beast that had been hit on the head. It had to be said that this thing was quite alive. It had just woken up and dared to grin at people.
"Bang bang!"
The corpse collector patted it a few times, and then the strange power on its body exploded instantly.
"Woo~"
Immediately, the wolf was so frightened that it trembled all over, clamped its tail and began to whimper.
The corpse collector quickly retracted his hand and randomly found a rope to tie the wolf's mouth. The wolf remained motionless during the whole process, as if it was frightened.
Seeing how easily the master managed to keep the wolf beast in submission, Shitou seemed quite excited. It would be better to pull the cart with this thing than him and Goudan.
"Hahaha, it's done!"
"I will take care of it from now on. If it is dishonest, see how I deal with it!"
The extremely excited Shitou directly grabbed the reins of the wolf beast, and then took out a small paper man from his arms.
This was given to him by the corpse collector when he was apprenticed. If anything happened, he could just throw this paper man out to solve the problem.
"Okay, master agreed anyway, but you have to close it at night!"
Goudan was still a little worried. After all, the wolf beast was quite large and looked a bit ferocious.
Soon all the corpses here were collected, and the oxcart moved forward again "creeping, creaking".
Only this time the cart was pulled by a wolf. Although the two young apprentices sitting in the cart were scared, they were also more curious.
Others following the bullock cart were also more concerned about this newly added wolf. If this guy didn't bite people, it would be much easier to travel in the future.
