Chapter 143 Breakthrough with heavy losses(1/2)

I don’t know if the flying sword destroyed the barrier around the hall when it left or the flying sword itself was the barrier. In short, the barrier disappeared as the flying sword left. A large number of rotten corpses mixed with a small number of skeletons rushed into the hall, and all Tianyou and the others could do was run away quickly.

"Damn!" Because of the fastest reaction and good physical fitness, Tianyou was almost the first to rush to the other side of the hall, but as soon as he stepped out of the area of ​​the hall, he was stunned. He saw an army running out of nowhere, all the soldiers were ghosts, and his translucent body was filled with various terrifying wounds, and some were even like hedgehogs and were covered with arrow feathers.

The crowd following Tianyou ran over saw that the ghost army in this array were all in a sudden stop, and everyone stopped at the edge of the hall. Someone turned around nervously, but found that the rotten corpse in front had entered the hall, and the ghost army opposite began to advance with the command of the ghost general in front of the formation.

"There are ghosts in front and corpses in the back, what should I do?" Many people were so anxious that they didn't know how to deal with this situation.

A student suddenly looked at the pillars beside him and reminded him: "Everyone is on the roof."

At this time, everyone was very panicked. When they heard someone shouting on the roof, many people instinctively started to climb up, but Tianyou raised his hand and shouted: "You can't go to the roof. Before the ghost army and the rotten corpse meet, everyone rushed over quickly, otherwise they would be really done if they were blocked on the roof!"

"How come so many ghost soldiers rush?" Someone retorted and began to climb up the roof on his own, while others also began to climb along.

Seeing that these people did not listen to the advice, Tianyou stopped talking, jumped out of the hall and looked back at the person who was still standing still. Guan Qingye was the first to shout: "Hey, follow Tianyou."

Guan Qingye shouted that the person who had originally planned to leave immediately jumped out. As for those who were originally planning to pass through the cemetery, they hesitated and divided it into two parts, and some also jumped down, and some began to climb up the roof like others.

Tianyou glanced at Guan Qingye and said, "You bring everyone behind, don't get too close to me, I'll try the strength of these ghost soldiers first."

Guan Qingye only reminded Tianyou to be careful and began to organize manpower to form a battle formation.

Tianyou left the team and rushed towards the Gui army. The stone hing had been replaced by him with a peach wood sword, and it was useless to deal with Guijun Stone hing and Ben.

The Ghost Army turned a blind eye to Tianyou's actions and continued to move forward straight until both sides contacted each other. Tianyou stood in front of the vanguard of ghost generals and prepared to fight, but he did not take action rashly. After all, he was a whole army, with a number of at least two hundred, and he was a little worried when facing so many dead souls alone.

However, Tianyou took a stance to prepare for battle, and the general of the ghost army riding a ghost horse seemed to have not seen him at all, and ran straight past him. Tianyou was stunned for a moment, and the ghost army infantry following him also came up, but at the same time, these ghost army infantry still ignored Tianyou and ran past him in an orderly array.

Tianyou's thinking has always been very active and does not stick to the form, so he immediately realized something, raised his head and shouted at the nervous Guan Qingye and the others: "Don't attack, the ghost army is going to deal with those rotten corpses, come over, run over quickly."

Seeing that Tianyou was not attacked at all, Guan Qingye and the others had already thought of something. Now that they heard Tianyou's shout, they immediately reacted and started running. When they contacted the Ghost Army, they were still a little scared and their speed slowed down significantly. But until the first row of Ghost Army ran past them and found that these Ghost Army infantry did not attack them, everyone immediately started running towards Tianyou excitedly.

Because the ghosts are completely empty when they do not attack, everyone does not even need to dodge these ghost troops. The two teams crossed through without any obstacles.

Seeing Tianyou and the others actually passed through, everyone who climbed onto the roof immediately regretted it. Some of the ones who reacted the fastest even jumped down from the side of the roof. However, as soon as he landed, he found a rotten corpse pounced on him. The guy quickly rolled over and rolled directly among the ghost army infantry rushing up.

The rotten corpse behind stretched out his arms and wanted to chase him, but the ghost general in front waved a nine-foot long sword, slashed the whole rotten corpse in half with a crack, and then took the lead in killing into the army of rotten corpses. The infantry behind also began to accelerate at this time and rushed up to fight with the rotten corpses.

When the others on the roof saw that the first person who jumped down had succeeded, they immediately jumped down, but because their movements were too slow, the rotten corpses had already passed the hall and were fighting with the ghost army under the steps on the front of the hall. These people jumped directly into the battle formation and were sandwiched in the middle.

The Ghost Army still turned a blind eye to them as always, but the rotten corpse was ignored. When they saw someone nearby, they rushed up and bit them.

"Ah!" An unlucky guy jumped directly to a rotten corpse. The rotten corpse didn't even hesitate. He went up and bit the guy's shoulder. His two claws that had already exposed their finger bones pinched the guy's arms and inserted them into the flesh. The guy's screams changed in pain.

The rotten corpse wanted to bite a second bit, but a ghost army infantry rushed up, and he stabbed the rotten corpse with a short sword in his hand and picked it off. However, the corpse fell down, and its head was still hanging on the man's shoulder and kept gnawing. However, the surrounding ghost soldiers lost interest in the rotten corpse with only the head left and no longer cared about him.

There were many people like this unlucky guy. In the end, most of the seven or eight people who came down from the roof were bitten. They were so scared that they did not dare to jump down again.

Tianyou was too lazy to care about these guys who didn't listen to advice. After Guan Qingye brought the first person to follow them, he rushed towards him.

The first person who jumped off the roof saw the team leaving behind, and rushed to speed up and shouted: "Wait for me, wait for me!"

The team in front seemed to have not heard it. After rushing in, they did not approach the ghost houses on both sides, but just ran forward along the middle of the road. Sure enough, whenever they passed by a ghost house, there would be a number of ghosts in the gate or window of the ghost house. However, these guys had no substantial threat to Ben except to scare people with their own ghost appearance, because they could not reach the streets. As long as everyone did not get into the house by themselves, they could completely ignore these ghosts.

At first, everyone was a little worried, and soon found that Tianyou and Qian Ming's previous investigation was completely correct, so everyone was no longer afraid and carefully formed three columns and began to go deeper with Tianyou.

The guy who jumped off the roof first finally caught up when Tianyou and the others turned to the third intersection. No one said anything, and directly asked him to join the team. This man was quite polite and knew that it was right for others to wait for him, so he didn't complain. Thanks to him not doing that, otherwise Tianyou would definitely kick him into the ghost house and would never let him join the team so easily.

Outside the hall, under the cover of the ghost army, only four people ran out in the end, and two of them were injured, and three were surrounded by rotten corpses. They had no choice but to activate the teleportation scroll and automatically withdrew. In addition, the two people who were completely trapped on the roof were basically eliminated. They were obviously late to leave until dawn, so even if they were to hold on until dawn, it would be useless.

There were 26 people before nightfall, and now there were only 23 people left. Two of them were on the roof of the hall, four of them had just run in, and the other 17 were in the Tianyou team, and they had already run a long distance.

"Where are we going?" After entering, the four people immediately got lost. They were originally planning to break through the cemetery, so they had never even read the map, let alone remember the correct path. Except for the first intersection, they knew that Tianyou and the others went left, they didn't know any other information.

After the questioner finished asking, he found that no one answered. When he looked at the others, he looked confused. Knowing that everyone didn't know the right direction, the man simply suggested: "Since that's the case, we can only leave it to fate."

"Aren't you going around?" asked a student.

"What else can I do not walk around? In addition, it is useless for the four of us to get together now, so let's just follow us. I will not ask everyone for advice when I reach the intersection. If I am willing to follow me, I will follow me. If I don't want to follow me, I will find my own way. Anyway, this is still safe, it's just a big maze. Okay, let's leave me." After saying that, the man turned around and ran out without waiting for someone else's answer.

"I'll follow you." Another man called out and immediately followed.

The remaining two were hesitant and didn't know whether to chase after him. After hesitating, the two of them disappeared. When they wanted to catch up, they found that they could not find the target and didn't know where they were turning.

When Tianyou and the others were walking in the maze, they had problems first. Several skeletons climbed onto the roof. Because they did not find it in time, one of them was pushed down by the sudden attacking skeleton. After landing, the skeleton fell apart. He fell so hard that he could hardly move. He had no choice but to open the scroll back to the city and gave up the assessment.

Although the remaining man found the skeletons that were climbing up one after another, there was no place on the roof of the room to let him move around. Finally, he accidentally stepped on the roof during the battle, and had no choice but to start the scroll and exit the selection.

There are 21 left in 23 people at this time, and 4 people are not in the team.

The two students who had lost the two in front had no choice but to find their own way, but they were very lucky. They chose the wrong direction when they first chose the fork in their own way, and soon they encountered a dead end.

This dead end cannot be seen directly from the outside. When I first arrived outside, I could only see a seemingly normal street, and I could see a right-turn intersection at the end. However, when the two of them ran to that intersection, they found that the turning depth on the right was less than one meter, and at the end was the gate of a ghost house.

This ghost house is different from the ghost house along the way. Its door head is obviously taller, like the house of a wealthy family. Of course, the two of them would not care about the family income of the ghost house owner, but just as they turned around and were about to leave, the door suddenly opened.

Apart from the sound of the footsteps of the two of them, they could not hear any sound. They could be said to be quiet and terrible. The sudden sound of the door opening was like a thunder in the ears of both of them, which scared them.

Looking back suddenly, I saw a head of more than 20 people standing inside the gate as if waiting to take a family photo. But these were obviously not humans, but ghosts, because they all died in a very miserable way.

Although they knew that the ghosts here would not leave the house, they were still shocked by the two of them when they suddenly saw this scene, but this was just the beginning. Just when the two of them were about to calm down, more than 20 ghosts in the door rushed towards the gate at the same time, and then... they came out.

"Oh my God!" Tianyou and the others ran well and suddenly heard a scream, which scared them all. The sound sounded very close, as if it was just a room, but the screams were only a moment before it stopped abruptly.

"Someone was attacked there?" Someone in the team asked worriedly in the direction where the sound came.

Tianyou didn't care much, but he soon realized what the man said. The ghosts in this place would not leave the house. As long as people did not enter the house, the ghosts would not come out. Although the people who were thrown away by Tianyou and the others did not know the map route, they knew that they could not enter the house. And under this premise, they were attacked, which only means that a ghost left the house and came out on his own initiative.

"Did you say that your previous judgment was wrong?" Qian Ming also thought of the problem and asked Tianyou's opinion.

Tianyou shook his head and said, "I don't know. If our judgment is wrong, we shouldn't have been so quiet all the way."

Guan Qingye speculated: "Maybe it's a problem with the road. The ghosts on the right route will not leave the haunted house, but the ones on the wrong route will."

There was no way for Guan Qingye to verify the conjecture, so everyone could only be more vigilant and talk about it when they really encountered trouble. In fact, what they didn't know was that Guan Qingye's conjecture was actually very close to the truth.

Most of the ghosts in this are indeed unable to leave the haunted house on their own initiative, but there is another type of ghost in the haunted house, that is, the ghost in the last haunted house in the dead end. At the end of each dead end, there are a large haunted house. Not only are there many ghosts in it, but they are also fierce, and more importantly, they can come out.

Of course, these ghosts are not really completely free, otherwise they would have run all over the village long ago? The restrictions are slightly different from other ghosts. Although they cannot run out on their own initiative, as long as someone sees the haunted house in the dead end, the ghosts inside will immediately gain freedom. No one needs to go in, as long as they see it.

Unfortunately, Tianyou and the others drew the road map in advance, so they kept running on the right road and never entered a dead end. So only a large haunted house has been opened so far.

Unfortunately, the two unlucky guys who opened the large ghost house only had stone hammers and stone spears. The peach wood sword was in the hands of Tianyou and the others. These people originally planned to go to the cemetery, so they naturally did not equip peach wood swords, but now they have no chance to fight back. The two ran for a while and found that they were completely crushed in speed. Finally, they could only start the return scroll in despair and exit the selection.

There were only 19 people left in all the test personnel. Tianyou and his party had already run halfway through the fastest, but now there are more than twenty evil spirits who can run around. What's more unfortunate is that after killing most of the rotten corpses, the body of the ghost army began to fade, and slowly disappeared outside the hall as if the energy was exhausted.

The Ghost Army seemed to be particularly restraining the rotten corpses. In the battle, it was like cutting melons and vegetables, so more than 200 ghost soldiers blocked countless rotten corpses and skeletons. However, as the Ghost Army disappeared, more rotten corpses rushed in. These guys began to move in all directions. They could not track them, but they could try all routes with their number advantage. A large number of rotten corpses even rushed directly into the ghost house and passed through the hall.

Unlike those ghost troops who resisted corrupt corpses, the ghost ghosts who are also ghosts have no response to corrupt corpses. They allow these corrupt corpses to transfer through houses and quickly approach Tianyou and the others. Compared with Tianyou and the others who need to turn left and right in this maze, the corrupt corpses directly pass through the front and back doors of the ghost house, just like cheating through the wall. This speed is indeed much faster than Tianyou and the others.

Tianyou, who didn't know what was going on, was still running along the right path, and what they didn't know was that they had made the wrong route from the beginning. It was not that they had walked on the wrong fork, but that they shouldn't have gone along the right path from the beginning.

The best way to travel through time is actually not to follow the maze path, but to travel through the haunted house like a rotten corpse when necessary.

There are actually not many ghosts in these ordinary ghost houses. Although there are not necessarily only one or two, except for those large ghost houses that exist as traps, there will be no more than 7 ghosts in ordinary ghost houses. With Tianyou and their strength, they can be easily broken through.

Although traveling through the ghost house requires fighting with the ghosts inside, passing through the front and back doors of some ghost houses can help them take a shorter circle of paths. As long as they plan the route in advance and rely on the method of moving forward and crossing some ghost houses on the right path, they can completely shorten the distance to one-fifth of the current one, and there are only seven or eight haunted houses in total.

Unfortunately, Tianyou and the others were walking along the route, wasting too much time that they did not run more than half of the journey until the ghost army disappeared and the rotten corpses poured in.

There were too many rotten corpses, and they quickly approached the vicinity of Tianyou and others. In the cemetery behind the hall, the ground suddenly collapsed, revealing a huge hole. More than a dozen coffins appeared at the holes. As the moonlight shone on the coffin, the coffin lids on the rows suddenly flew out one by one.

"Ha..." With a low roar, in the first coffin, a dead body in an official robe suddenly bounced up, stretched out his arms forward, and his toes a little at the edge of the coffin, instantly flew three or four feet away, and landed in the hall.

As the first zombie flew out, more than ten zombies wearing official robes jumped up one after another in the coffin behind. Unlike the previous rotten corpses, these zombies could not walk, their bodies were stiff and they would jump forward with their toes. But they were all full of muscles and neatly dressed. In addition to their blue-pure complexion, their mouths had fangs, and their nails were particularly sharp and slender, they were almost the same as living people.

Although they could only jump forward, these zombies were like martial arts masters, jumping four or five feet apart, and their speed was many times faster than those rotten corpses. After a few pauses, the zombie in front sucked his nose a few times, then suddenly howled, jumped again, jumped past the roof of the haunted house in front of them, and actually chased towards Tianyou and the others.

It is obvious that zombies have intelligence and at least have the hunting instinct like beasts, while the thinking pattern of rotten corpses is more like a bug. Only when they discover prey can they know how to fight.

Although Tianyou and the others were completely unaware of it at first, they began to find something wrong after running for a while, because the movement of the large group of rotten corpses entering was not small, and they could be discovered at first.

"This is..." Guan Qingye hesitated and asked, "Has the rotten corpse entered the village?"

Tianyou's five senses are much stronger than ordinary people, of course he had heard them a long time ago, but he just didn't say them out because he was afraid that people would get lost when they heard this news. In fact, he has been speeding up since the beginning, but unfortunately, he can't escape the rotten corpses who have been passing through the walls and passing through the walls.

Tianyou didn't say much, just reminding everyone to hurry up and get faster, but doing so was obviously futile. Just as they were running on the street, a fight suddenly came from the haunted house on the left, and then someone screamed.

Everyone turned around almost instinctively and looked at the gate of the ghost house. The next second the door was knocked down from inside, and a figure flew out with the falling door panel.

The crowd who was about to attack suddenly found that this was actually one of the students who had been on the roof before. Someone hurriedly helped him up, but Tianyou suddenly shouted: "Go away."

The sudden scream made everyone unconsciously look up to look inside the door, and saw that a large group of rotten corpses inside had reached not far from the door. At this moment, behind and in front, the gate of the entire street on the left side of the entire street suddenly opened at the same time, and countless rotten corpses instantly rushed out.

"Road forward quickly." Guan Qingye yelled and asked for wisdom to rush over.

Tianyou shouted from behind: "It's too late, retreat to the haunted house behind and let's go through it."

Guan Qingye reacted after just a little hesitation. This method is indeed feasible. The threat to everyone by the haunted house is indeed not high, at least far lower than that of the rotten corpse group.

Soon the crowd moved again, and the man on the ground was carried up by two people and ran away. Pang Dahai, Qian Ming and another outstanding student formed a vanguard and entered the ghost house. Follow-up personnel entered one after another, Guan Qingye was in the middle to command. Dashan was responsible for intercepting the rotten corpse because he was afraid that the ghost and Tianyou would cut off the back together.

Although Tianyou and the others are not considered cultivators, they are not civilians. Once they decide to attack, their combat effectiveness is still remarkable. The forward quickly cleared the evil ghosts in the house, and the team quickly passed through the haunted house and finally threw away the rotten corpse on time.

In fact, as long as you keep moving forward, Tianyou and the others are much faster than the rotten corpse. The movement speed of these things is not as fast as that of ordinary people jogging. As long as the distance is equal, they obviously cannot catch up with Tianyou and others.

However, there are many rotten corpses, but the combat power is not high and the speed is slow. But now it is not the only rotten corpses. The twenty or sour ghosts finally chased after them. Tianyou, who was resisting the pursuit of the rotten corpses, felt a chill behind him. When he turned around, he found a ferocious ghost face pressing on him. But the next second, the inexplicable flame rose again, and it was still at one point, burning all the evil ghost in an instant.

"Be careful and clean up the front."

Tianyou thought that the person in front had not cleaned it up and there was a fish that had escaped the net, but immediately loudly reminded the evil spirits that were running out from other places, and the crowd in front had been scrambled by these flying evil spirits.

These evil ghosts are different from the ghosts in the ghost house. They can fly and are very fast. Although Guan Qingye was trying hard to command, the crowd was attacked by the evil ghosts and ran away. Tianyou slapped the mountain and asked him to follow him to support him. As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard a thud. A zombie in neatly dressed down from the sky and was smashing at the door of the ghost house to block him, Dashan and two other students who were preparing to pick them up.

After discovering the zombie, Dashan didn't say a word and threw it over. Anyway, the zombie turned his back to them at this time. When will he not take action if he didn't take such a good opportunity?
To be continued...
