Chapter 36 The Thirteenth Month (Please collect! Please read!)
Mo Yanqiu and Zhou Qingshan held weapons and looked at the source of the sound with vigilance.
Anyone who dares to attack Mo Yanqiu, the incoming warrior, must be a strange beast!
"Pah, pah!"
At this moment, the thing paused for a moment, as if it had noticed something, and then it suddenly ran towards the two of them at an extremely fast speed!
Accompanied by the harsh sound of bones rubbing against each other, a vague human figure appeared in the hazy fog and pounced towards Mo Yanqiu!
"court death!!"
Mo Yanqiu's eyes fixed.
The Zhenyue Spear in his hand was as fast as lightning and stabbed out in an instant!
boom!
The strange figure didn't dodge or evade, but crashed straight into the Zhenyue Spear.
The tip of the gun pierced in, and Mo Yanqiu frowned. She felt that the tip of the gun did not touch the expected flesh and blood.
"Roar--"
However, she did not have time to delve into this strange phenomenon. Even though the figure was pierced by the tip of the spear, it seemed to feel no pain and continued to rush forward madly, biting non-stop.
Although Mo Yanqiu was shocked, she reacted quickly. She increased her strength and shook the Zhenyue Spear violently. The powerful force instantly tore the strange figure into two halves.
Mo Yanqiu looked up.
I saw that half of the strange figure was actually a skeleton with human skin, the skin was tightly attached to the bones, there was no sign of life in the empty eye sockets, but it exuded a chilling breath.
Even though it was torn in half, the skeleton still opened and closed its mouth unwillingly, and its only remaining arm struggled on the snow to crawl towards Mo Yanqiu.
"What the hell is this?"
Seeing this, Mo Yanqiu raised her hand and stabbed a gun into his head. As her wrist shook suddenly, the force of the gun tip shattered his head into pieces.
Now the human-skin skeleton finally rested in peace, lying on the ground, no longer moving.
After Mo Yanqiu used the Zhenyue Gun to confirm that the human-skin skeleton would not move anymore, Zhou Qingshan stepped forward to take a closer look.
The human-skin skeleton was covered in tattered clothing and leather armor, and the inside of the remains was completely empty, with no flesh or internal organs. On the upper right corner of the remaining half of the leather armor was a word "Liu".
"Is this a person? A dead person?"
"This standard leather armor looks so familiar - isn't this the member of the Liu family's guard team?!"
Zhou Qingshan recognized the identity of the human-skin skeleton and his heart suddenly shuddered.
He had just seen the Liu family's guards some time ago, so how could they appear in Xipanling? !
And it turned into this?
He quickly stood up and checked the nearby wreckage. There was no blood on the snow, and no brain inside the head...
This person was actually just a piece of skin except for his bones...
What force supports it to run and roar?
At this moment, Mo Yanqiu looked extremely solemn. She suddenly remembered something. She raised her head, her eyes seemed to see through the fog and see the sun high above. She suddenly said in a deep voice:
"The thirteenth month!!"
"What thirteenth month?" Zhou Qingshan looked at Mo Yanqiu in confusion.
Mo Yanqiu looked at the wreckage on the ground and said seriously:
"Death and rebirth, nourishing all things, eclipsing the sun, the moon of eternal day."
"It can bring people back to life from the dead, breed the essence of the moon, and allow all things to evolve into strange beasts. It blocks the sun, creating a period of time with only daylight, independent of the twelve months, and is therefore called the 'Thirteenth Month'."
"I didn't expect that the 'God of Destiny' that Master Li mentioned actually exists."
Hearing this, Zhou Qingshan was shocked: "Resurrection from the dead? God of destiny? Eternal day? Why have I never heard of it?"
If there is such a strange phenomenon as the Thirteenth Month, why hasn't he encountered it once in the past ten years?
"This is my first time experiencing this, too. The thirteenth month doesn't appear every year." Mo Yanqiu explained, "According to the records of the Martial Arts Hall, the thirteenth month appears every thirty-seven years, and the duration of the eternal day varies from one month to ten years! Of course, the thirteenth month only lasts for a month most of the time."
"There was only one exception in history, and that was when the State of Zhao had just been established for a hundred years."
"Once, a 'Moon Worshiper' captured a city and sacrificed eight million true spirits to him, causing the eternal day to last for ten years. During this period, countless powerful beasts were born, and great demons swept through almost all the spiritual realms of the city. If it weren't for the blood of our ancestors who forged the 'Divine Martial Mandate' and swept the world, the State of Zhao would have perished long ago."
When Zhou Qingshan heard this, a strong sense of uneasiness swept over his body, causing his breathing to become rapid and cold sweat to seep out of his forehead.
There were more than 170 large cities in the State of Zhao, and each city covered an area of 20 to 30 fiefdoms and hundreds of villages.
There are countless spiritual realms like Shengfengling.
And the strange beasts and demons that were born under the cover of eternal daylight, not even the spiritual realm where the big city was located was spared, let alone his small Shengfeng Territory?
The wall of Black Cloud City is hundreds of feet high!
The city wall of Shengfeng Territory is only three meters high...
"Are you okay, young master?" Mo Yanqiu asked.
Zhou Qingshan took a deep breath to calm the uneasiness in his heart, then waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.
Mo Yanqiu nodded, looked at the wreckage on the ground, and continued:
"This guy is a human ghost!"
"You said he is a human ghost?!"
Hearing this, Zhou Qingshan frowned slightly: "But ghosts are not like this!"
Once the three yang flames on a person's shoulders and head are extinguished, they will be forever lost in the wilderness fog and will never find the way to the spiritual realm again. This lost person is a human ghost! !
But human ghosts are living things! They are people without consciousness!
"He is indeed a human-ghost, which is why it's even more troublesome..." Mo Yanqiu said in a serious tone.
A 'human ghost' is a person who is 'dead in spirit' but whose body is still alive and who retains his or her behaviors from his or her lifetime.
The flesh and blood will continue to be nourished in the thick fog.
Thus, over a long period of time, a second consciousness was born in the flesh and blood, with skin of steel and bones, bloodthirsty and disorderly. This is the human ghost!
It's the lowest level demon!
The higher the level of the warrior who gets lost in the fog, the more terrifying the 'human ghost' that is born will be. If a warrior from the second level gets lost, there may even be a great demon that is born with wisdom and strength far superior to that of humans.
The physical body is used to resist the spiritual soldiers, and the special powers of strange beasts!
That is a terrifying existence that can trigger a beast tide and sweep across more than ten large cities!
If the dynasty had not mobilized its elite troops to encircle and kill this great demon as soon as it was born, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Warriors worship flames so much because they do not want to defile themselves. After death, their bodies will turn into ashes in the flames, drift away with the wind, and return to heaven and earth.
A warrior who is lost in the thick fog of the wilderness will, when his consciousness is about to fade, ignite a flame in despair and burn himself to death.
Mo Yanqiu looked solemn and explained:
"The empty shell of flesh can be 'resurrected' because of the power of the Thirteenth Moon, but why is he now only skin and bones? There is only one possibility, there is a 'demon' in the nearby spiritual realm causing trouble!"
At first, she did not recognize that the human-skin skeleton in front of her was a "human ghost" because it was too fragile. Human ghosts have iron bones and bronze skin, are extremely powerful, and are invulnerable to ordinary swords and guns. They are also flesh and blood.
"What is a demon..."
Zhou Qingshan was about to ask the reason.
At this moment, a rustling sound suddenly came from the dense forests all around.
