Spirit Ruins

Chapter 255 Gathering the Soul

Yanhai said, "You and I now lead a team and station here. If we can't cooperate with each other, the monks we are not familiar with will be further divided, which is quite unfavorable for us to resist the attack of the ghost clan."

"So, I have a proposal. How about the team led by you and me to combine into one team and give orders uniformly?"

Lin Xiao sneered and said, " Elder Yan is a good idea. I don't know who should be the leader of this team after the merger of you and me?"

Yan Hai pointed to himself, "Of course it's me!"

"What are you?" Lin Xiao asked.

Yan Hai explained: "Before you purple monks came to support, I have led my monks to stay here for a long time. Speaking of how familiar I am with this 'Zhu Jianglin', I am much more familiar than you. And I know more about the movements of the ghost army than you, and I will naturally take the position of leader.

Lin Xiao originally wanted to refute Yan Hai when he heard the words and asked him to obey his orders under Yan Hai, but he was very reluctant.

But before the rebuttal was said, Lin Xiao was silent again and thought about it carefully. In fact, what Yan Hai said was indeed reasonable. If he commanded this coalition army, without knowing anything about the surrounding environment and the ghost army, every decision he made would involve the life and death of the monks below, and he could not play.

In the end, Lin Xiao still decided to put the overall situation first, so he said to Yanhai, "I can promise to give you the command of the Purple Gate monk, but I have one condition."

Yan Hai was overjoyed when he heard the words, and then hurriedly said, "What are the conditions?"

Lin Xiao said in a low voice, "I want to serve as the deputy commander of the coalition army. My deputy commander is not under your command. At the same time, I have the direct command of the Purple Gate monk. If I think there is something wrong with your command, I have the right to tell the Purple Gate monk to disobey you!"

Yan Hai was furious when he heard the words, "How can this be! How can there be a soldier who doesn't listen to the commander's orders?

Lin Xiao said coldly, "You don't have to be so excited. I'm just in case. If there is nothing wrong with your order, I will naturally let the purple monks obey orders. However, if you have no intention and give orders randomly, I don't want the purple monks to be used by you as cannon fodder."

Yanhai was extremely angry at this time, but Lin Xiao always insisted on his conditions and did not let go, so he even gave up his intention to form an alliance with Yanhai.

In the end, in order to reach an alliance, Yan Hai had to agree to Lin Xiao's request.

After the two sides discussed some details of the alliance, Lin Xiao turned around and left to gather the monks of Zimen.

After witnessing Lin Xiao leave, Yan Hai showed a sneer at the corners of his mouth, and said to himself, "Well, do you think you can be fine if you are careful? Lin Xiao, this time, I'm going to kill you!"

...

With the strong promotion of Lin Xiao and Yan Hai, the original garrison of Zimen monk and 'Xu Jianglin' was quickly reorganized into one by two different teams. The leader of this team was Yan Hai, and Lin Xiao served as the deputy commander.

After more than ten days of getting along, the Zimen monks and the original garrison of 'Xu Jianglin' gradually became one, and the monks also began to become familiar with the surrounding environment.

These days, the ghosts have been sending some scattered ghost soldiers to sneak into the vicinity of the 'Shu Jianglin', trying to secretly destroy the array towers arranged around the 'Shu Jianglin', but they have been resolved one by the defenders in the 'Shu Jianglin'.

In order to prevent the night attack of the ghost clan, Yanhai ordered several teams of monks to take turns patrol the periphery of the 'Xu Jianglin' every night. Once the ghost clan's traces were found, they immediately issued an alarm to the defenders in the forest.

On this day, late at night, a panicked monk suddenly rushed in in Lin Xiao's tent and told Lin Xiao in fear, " Elder Lin, it's not good! Yes, there is a very powerful ghost clan who will kill all the purple brothers we patrol outside the 'Xu Jianglin'!"

"Calm down! How many ghosts does the other party have? What does it look like?" Lin Xiao frowned and asked.

Lin Xiao's words contained a trace of spiritual power, which came into the monk's ears, which suddenly made him wake up a lot and his timidity gradually faded.

The man stammered and said, "The elder, there is only one ghost. The ghost is so fast that I can't see his face at all. I used to patrol with those brothers. Those brothers were in front of me, and I stayed behind. Suddenly, I only saw a flash of blood, and those brothers were immediately dismembered by the ghost. ! I narrowly escaped because I stayed at the end..."

Lin Xiao was shocked when he heard the words and thought that he could kill several Taoist monks in such a short time. Is the ghost a ghost?

So Lin Xiao immediately stood up and said to the monk, "Take me to the place where the brothers were killed immediately!"

Not long after Lin Xiao left the camp, a shadow quietly turned out of the jungle far away from his tent. After confirming the direction Lin Xiao left, the shadow immediately unfolded its body, passed through the dense forest like a ghost, and ran in the other direction.

After a moment, the shadow stopped in front of a huge tent. At this time, Yan Hai's voice suddenly came from the tent, "Lin Xiao has passed?"

The shadow stood outside the tent, nodded and whispered, "Speak to Elder Yan, as you expected, Lin Xiao has gone to 'that place'."

Yan Hai asked again, "He went alone?"

The shadow nodded, "In addition to him, only the Purple Gate monk who was released by his subordinates led him."

Yan Hai laughed when he heard the words, and his voice made people feel creepy. He only heard him whisper, "Very good, you did a good job. This time, no matter how great the ability Lin Xiao is, he is desperate to fly!"

The shadow hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Eternal Yan not only laid a 'soul array' in that place, but also let his subordinates kill several insensitive purple disciples, leading him into a trap. Elder Yan is so thoughtful to deal with Lin Xiao. Is it possible that he really has an feud with you?

Yan Hai snorted coldly when he heard the words, "You shouldn't ask this kind of question, do you?"

The shadow was stunned when he heard the words, and then whispered, "I'm just a little curious."

Yan Hai seemed to be in a good mood, so he smiled and said, "In this case, for the sake of your efforts in this matter, I will satisfy your curiosity a little!"

He then said in a low voice, "Yes, I do have some hatred with Lin Xiao, but to put it bluntly, these hatreds are just a struggle of spirit, and it won't make me try so hard to kill him. In fact, the person who really wants him to die is not me, and I just follow orders!"

The shadow was shocked when he heard the words and subconsciously asked, "I don't know who that person is?"

Yan Hai's face darkened when he heard the words, "Do you seem to have more questions tonight?"

Black Shadow hurriedly said, "It's my subordinates who are reckless. Please forgive me!"

Yan Hai was silent for a while, and then said lightly, "That's all."

Then, Yan Hai suddenly changed his mouth and asked, "Do you know why I told you that there was actually another master behind the scenes?"

The shadow was stunned and then said, "It must be because Elder Yan looked up to his subordinates and regarded them as his confidants."

Yan Hai shook his head, "You're wrong."

The shadow subconsciously asked, "Am I wrong?"

Yan Hai explained to himself, "The reason why I tell you so much is not because I regard you as my confidant, but for a dying person. Instead of letting him die confusedly, it's better to let him be a ghost!"

The dark shadow was shocked when he heard the words and subconsciously wanted to escape, but it was too late to wake up. Suddenly, a golden light came out of the camp and penetrated the black shadow's chest in an instant!

The shadow stared at the golden short sword on his chest, and never thought that Yan Hai would choose to take action against himself before he died.

The shadow was originally a monk at the peak of the Taoist fetus. When he attacked those purple monks, he killed his opponent almost instantly, which showed that his strength was strong.

However, the shadow was caught off guard and still couldn't escape the full blow of Yanhai.

He stared at the figure of Yanhai in the camp unwillingly, and the shadow finally slowly closed his eyes and died.

...

On the other side, Lin Xiao, led by the young monk, quickly came to the place where the Purple Gate monks were killed.

This is an open space in a dense forest, located on the edge of the 'Shu Jianglin'. When Lin Xiao came here, there was no one around him, only a few mutilated corpses distributed on the ground. A pool of blood on the ground had been pentted into the soil, and a bloody breath came to his nose.

The young monk behind Lin Xiao asked about the pungent smell of blood and immediately covered his stomach and began to vomit. Lin Xiao also frowned slightly and felt that the smell of blood seemed to be too strong.

Suddenly, Lin Xiao's heart moved and suddenly realized what was wrong!

It's just a few bodies that have just died for a long time. How can they emit such a strong blood? It is estimated that only the blood pool can emit this concentration of blood!

After realizing that something was wrong, Lin Xiao's consciousness was 100 meters away and began to investigate the abnormal situation around him inch by inch.

Suddenly, Lin Xiao's consciousness came back and found an abnormal place.

Lin Xiao quickly took a hundred steps in the direction of his left hand, then stretched out his right hand and grabbed the ground.

One side emitted a strong smell of blood, and a palm-sized bloody flag suddenly shot out from the ground and was caught in the palm of Lin Xiao's hand.

Lin Xiao checked the flag and his face suddenly changed, "It's not good! It's the flag of the 'soul array'!"

Lin Xiao hurriedly turned around and wanted to ask the young monk to leave this place, but when Lin Xiao saw the monk, he was suddenly stunned.

The monk stood there motionless, with a frightened expression on his face.

In the monk's chest, a pale bone hand was revealed, and the bone hand was covered with blood stains, which was the monk's blood.

Behind the monk, there was an inhuman laughter, and the voice was like coming from the nine hells, "Hey, what a delicious smell of blood. I didn't expect that there was a 'soul array' in the stronghold of the human race!"

The voice stopped abruptly, and the monk's body flashed with blood, and his whole body burst with a bang, turning into countless flesh and blood, scattered everywhere.

Then, Lin Xiao saw a huge skeleton covered with bone armor and two meters tall standing where the monk had stood. Two dark ghost fires burned in a pair of empty pupils and stared at Lin Xiao motionlessly.

Lin Xiao was stared at by the skeleton, and suddenly there was a cold war all over his body, and a strong sense of crisis surged from his heart.

"Ghost general..." Lin Xiao muttered.
