From Zero to Hero in the Doomsday - Chapter 1118
Chapter 1118 Coffin Mountain Night Walk
Early in the morning, just as the rooster began to crow, teams after teams of Corpse Collectors went to the streets and gathered in front of the city gate on the north side of Sand City. After a full three days of rest, the hundreds of thousands of Corpse Collector Warriors had fully recovered. They rubbed their palms together and did not forget to talk and laugh.
“Have you arranged everything…”
Chen Guangda slowly walked to the gate of the city on his black horse. Brother Gou nodded and said, “We have arranged everything. We sent twenty thousand people to Xi Xia. The rest of them stay here to maintain the basic operation of Sand City. The heads of those oases also gave them false titles to go back. We will take time to deal with them when we come back!”
“The family has finally settled down. It’s time for us to go and risk our lives for Black Cloud Demon Cave…”
Chen Guangda took a deep breath and waved his hand without saying anything. The heavy city gate immediately opened with a creak. However, there was no celebration this time, nor was there any sound of blessings. The moment the city gate opened, the soldiers almost instantly quieted down. They all silently walked out of the city.
Everyone knew what they were about to face. Looking at Chen Guangda’s expression, they knew how dangerous this battle was. Now that the enemy’s plot had become a conspiracy, they could only choose to fight until the end. Therefore, if they did not succeed, they would die. Whether they won or failed, it would be their last battle.
“Little girl! How do you feel…”
Chen Guangda suddenly looked at Qiu Yu who was not far away. Qiu Yu was wearing a sun hat and a veil. This was to prevent Li Gong from recognizing her. Qiu Yu shook his head and smiled, “I am very good. I have never felt so good. As long as I am with you, I am not afraid of anything!”
“That’s good. There are still nearly ten days left. I should be able to catch Old Monster Lingxi…”
Chen Guangda withdrew his worried gaze and became serious. Qiu Yu was forced to swallow Old Monster Lingxi’s poison. If there was no antidote to temporarily slow down the poison, he would definitely become a mutated living corpse above three bars. However, only a ghost would know where Old Monster Lingxi was now.
“There should be no problem with Master Qiu, right?”
Chen Guangda slowed down and fell behind. Master Qiu was the key to their trip. If this Feng Shui master could not find the entrance to the demon cave, whatever he said would be useless. However, Master Qiu, who was riding on the camel, smiled and said, “It’s okay! I have long been accustomed to eating and sleeping in the wind. However, even if I throw my old bones in the desert, it will be fine. Just take it as my insignificant contribution to mankind!”
“No! You must live. We will all live…”
Chen Guangda shook his head with great force. He looked as if he was swearing to himself. However, what he was worried about happened very quickly. After walking for half a day, there was a sandstorm. The vast army walked for a full three days before finally arriving near Coffin Mountain in the evening.
“Didn’t you say that Coffin Mountain looked like a coffin? Why can’t I see…”
After licking his dry lips, Wang Dafu stood up from his horse and looked around. However, the guide beside him smiled and said, “Lord Fatty!” Coffin Mountain is the collective name of this area. The real Coffin Mountain is still a distance away. Moreover, Old Monster Lingxi and the others are not above Coffin Mountain. It is said that strange things often happen around Coffin Mountain. Even they dare not approach him! ”
“How evil is it? Is it as scary as a female ghost handing over toilet paper…”
Wang Dafu curled his lips in disdain. The people around immediately laughed. Brother Gou shouted directly, “Fatty, don’t believe in evil. The more you don’t believe in evil, the more evil things you will encounter. Do you still remember Forbidden City’s old tree spirit? That thing is scary enough, right?”
“Tsk ~ No female ghost to hand over toilet paper, it’s not scary…”
Wang Dafu shook his head nonchalantly and took out another handful of peanuts to eat as he walked. However, the sky had already gradually darkened. Chen Guangda waved his hand and shouted, “Go and scout ahead with a group of light cavalry soldiers. Then go to Old Monster Lingxi’s nest and check if anyone is staying. Be careful of traps!”
“Yes!”
The hundred light cavalry soldiers answered in unison. They immediately led a guide and rushed away. Soon, they disappeared into a valley. Although there were no tall mountains here, there were almost endless hills. There were not many decent trees on the bare mountains. When night came, they were as scary as the ghostly claws on the ground.
“Damn! The temperature in this damn place is dropping really fast…”
Wang Dafu trembled as soon as he entered the valley. He quickly put on his little mink. The soldiers also took out their lanterns or flashlights to illuminate the place. The last glimmer of the sun had disappeared from the ground. Chen Guangda lit a cigarette and said, “When the scouts come back, find a place to set up camp. This kind of place is not suitable for walking at night!”
“Master Guang! Our speed is actually very fast. In the past, there were lizards everywhere in this area, but I did not see a single one when you came…”
The guide looked at Chen Guangda with a smile. There was still an indescribable admiration in his eyes. Chen Guangda smiled and did not explain. Not to mention that he and Cong Xiaowei were both wearing a full set of Sand Lizard King Armor. Their queen was still a little pet to Li Damei. The Sand Lizards wished they could stay as far away from him as possible.
“Report!”
Not long after, the light cavalry galloped back. The leader directly said loudly, “Master Guang!” Old Monster Lingxi’s sect has been burned to ashes. There is not even a grain left. We also found many corpses in the pit. They should be slaves who work for them. All of them have been killed! ”
“Humph! Liu Hao is really desperate. He doesn’t even leave a way out for himself…”
Chen Guangda snorted with a gloomy face. Then he waved his hand and said, “The front team will guard the entrance of the valley, and the back team will guard the entrance of the passage. The patrol team will send two guards to patrol the surrounding area. Someone must keep an eye on every mountain. The rest of the people will follow me to camp in the front!”
The soldiers immediately spread out in an orderly manner. The dense crowd soon covered the entire valley. They brought more than four thousand strong workers to this expedition. The strong workers were responsible for setting up camp and cooking. Fortunately, Coffin Mountain’s valley was big enough. Otherwise, it would not be less than a hundred thousand people.
“F*ck! It really looks like a big coffin…”
When everyone slowly walked to the center of the valley, they were surprised to see a dark and narrow mountain. The middle of the mountain was concave and the two ends were upturned. No matter how they looked at it, it looked like a giant coffin that fell from the sky. But when they approached it, they found that it was not the stone on the mountain, but a thick layer of wood ash.
“How many times do I have to burn to have such thick wood ash…”
Chen Guangda frowned in confusion. The thick wood ash almost covered the entire mountain. There was not even a single weed on the mountain, but there were a large number of burnt black trees that were crooked in it. They looked like many evil spirits, stretching out their arms as if they were struggling out of the mountain.
“I don’t know! Anyway, since I can remember, this place has been like this…”
The guide shook his head gently and said, “I heard that this is a magnetic mountain, so it is very easy to be struck by lightning. The lightning strike is the easiest to cause a mountain fire. The whole mountain is gone after being burned, but the grass and dust are very good fertilizer. In the coming year, many flowers and trees will grow, so this place is burned long and burned long. In the long run, it will become like this!”
“Old Monster Lingxi established the sect in this damn place, will there be any intention…”
Wang Dafu frowned thoughtfully. Chen Guangda also took out his flashlight and shone it back and forth. Soon, he found a row of irregular depressions on the hillside. So he shone it there and said, “Do you see the depression on the hillside? I guess someone went up the mountain recently, and many people went up together!”
After saying that, Chen Guangda took the horse and went up the mountain. Chen Quan and others also followed without hesitation. Only Wang Dafu hesitated and refused to come down. But Cong Xiaowei turned back and sneered, “Fatty! Are you afraid that the ghost will give you toilet paper?”
“Tch ~ What’s so scary about this? I’ll go up and show you now…”
Wang Dafu raised his head and jumped off his horse. He arrogantly walked to the middle of the group. The leader, Chen Guangda, also stepped into the thick layer of grass and dust. Who knew that this foot actually went past his ankle. Even his calves and stomach were almost gone. It was much thicker than they had imagined.
“Be careful of your feet. You can’t see anything here…”
Chen Guangda carefully walked up the hill. Fortunately, they were all wearing desert military boots. If they were to change into ordinary shoes, they would probably be filled with grass and dust. However, just as they reached the halfway point of the hill, Wang Dafu suddenly froze. His face was pale as he said, “Something… something is grabbing my feet!”
“Fatty! I say, how scared are you…”
Brother Gou did not know whether to laugh or cry. He bent down and directly pulled out a withered tree branch from his leg. Wang Dafu’s old face immediately swelled into the color of a pig’s liver. He even shouted in extreme anger, “I am not even afraid of Fat Corpse King. How can I be afraid of ghosts? If you don’t believe me, I will shit alone for you to see!”
After saying that, Wang Dafu rushed to the front and picked up an open space to remove the dust. As expected, he angrily took off his pants and squatted down. Cong Xiaowei immediately cursed out in shame and anger. He quickly brought Chen Quan and the others and ran up, following the traces on the ground to find something suspicious.
“Old Dong! Jianghu emergency, hurry… hurry up and order some paper…”
With a series of “crackling” sounds, Wang Dafu suddenly groaned in pain. Brother Gou could only curse and walk over. He held his breath and handed the paper to him. Unexpectedly, just as he turned to leave, Wang Dafu grabbed him and said in a trembling voice, “Old Dong! Squat down! Squat down!”
“Squat your sister, I don’t shit…”
Brother Gou kicked him and wanted to leave. However, Wang Dafu held him tightly and did not let go. He even pointed forward with trembling fingers. When Brother Gou turned around in confusion, his face turned green. He squatted beside Wang Dafu and did not dare to turn his head back. He even swallowed hard.
“Say something. Am I seeing things again…”
Wang Dafu wanted to cry but had no tears. He pulled Brother Gou, but Brother Gou pushed him away and said seriously, “Don’t you want paper?” He must have sent paper to you, so even if this is a thing, it is still a gentle thing. You stay here and pull well, I will retreat first! ”
“Retreat your sister, run quickly…”
“Help…”
