In the dim night, Wang Debiao was yawning in the shack next to the melon field. He was the farmer responsible for the night duty tonight, but he was only in the ninth rank and was not responsible for defending against incoming enemies.

The person responsible for guarding against enemies is an eighth-grade priest in the shanty next to him.

The weather in the southern wilderness is unpredictable. Wang Debiao's duty is to keep an eye on the growth progress of the 'Wuyuan melon' at night and prevent these delicate Wuyuan melon seedlings from being destroyed.

"Hoo~" The oil lamp on the table suddenly shook. But Wang Debiao didn't notice anything unusual.

In the shack on the other side, the eighth-grade priest Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and looked out of the shack in confusion.

He walked out of the shed and looked at the Wuyuan melon field with his bright eyes, but saw nothing.

But he didn't know that there was already a team of ghost warriors on the ridge of Wuyuan Guatian.

It's just that the spells of Morik and Qi Yuanzi were relatively advanced and were beyond Lin Yuan's detection range.

Lin Yuan only saw a straw man standing in the melon field, like a dead thing.

"I don't know what the function of Mr. Zhao's straw man is. It looks weird." Lin Yuan thought that the uneasiness in his heart came from this straw man.

Then he planned to go back to the shanty town.

Sudden--

"Shua~"

The still Soul-Jining Grass Man suddenly stretched out his right hand, with a vortex in his palm, and stabbed forward.

"Woo~" Although there was air in front of him, there was a wailing sound.

Others could not hear the sound, and Wang Debiao was unaware of it, but Lin Yuan heard it.

Because this is the cry of a ghost!

"What?!"

Lin Yuan's heart was beating wildly, and he decisively slid it into the palm of his hand, then closed his eyes and wiped it.

"The universe sweeps across the heaven and earth, and the true eyes of yin and yang open!"

The Priest's True Eye Technique!

Exhaust your efforts and use the True Eye Technique to enhance your insight into ghosts!

However, this method cannot last long. Once the blood stains dries, the temporary improvement effect will disappear.

After using the True Eye Technique, Lin Yuan finally saw where the abnormality came from.

"What? It's a hidden soul?!"

Lin Yuan saw a group of unique ghosts, ten in number. Their shapes were extremely illusory. Just like there are unique swordsmen among warriors, there are also ghosts who are good at hiding. Lin Yuan called them "hidden souls".

They are almost as difficult to detect as they are.

But what surprised Lin Yuan even more was that at this moment, this unique group of hidden souls panicked and fled in all directions.

One of the hidden souls was pierced through the chest by the straw man in Wu Yuantian, and his body shrank sharply. In less than three breaths, he disappeared wailing.

"No, it didn't disappear, it was sucked in!" Lin Yuan's scalp was numb. He was not very knowledgeable and had never heard of any kind of straw man that could suck souls.

Moreover, the hidden soul is difficult to detect, so how did this straw man detect it?

Could it be that all of this is part of Mr. Zhao’s plan?

"kill!"

After a brief shock, Lin Yuan immediately fulfilled the duties of a priest, holding the soul lamp, pulling out the soul-killing scimitar from his waist, and chased the group of hidden souls.

"What's going on?" Wang Debiao woke up. He heard Lin Yuan's voice. As soon as he walked out, he saw Lin Yuan chasing the air.

"Fuck!" Wang Debiao immediately understood what he was talking about, and immediately stepped back, closed the door of the shack, and put a talisman on it.

Mr. Zhao has ordered that if there is a ghost coming, farmers like them don't have much means to deal with the ghost, so they can just hide in the rune shack and don't come out.

Wang Debiao hid in a shack, shivering.

"It's over, it's over, the ghosts from the Holy Spirit Palace have all come to Tonghuo City."

"I, I won't die, right?"

"Well, I, Wang Debiao, have not yet married and had children. I am still a virgin after thirty years. I am really unwilling to die like this."

Wang Debiao felt uneasy. He had been fighting with the army for so long, and it had always been a smooth battle.

This is the first time he has encountered danger.

"Dong dong dong!"

There was a rapid knock on the door of the shed. Wang Debiao retreated to the Changming Lantern, sweating on his forehead, and a wisp of cold wind surrounded him.

His Yin Wind Technique is only an intermediate level three, so it may not be able to kill ghosts.

But he only has this spell that can be effective on ghosts.

"Bang bang bang!"

The shanty door was smashed and banged, and Wang Debiao was extremely frightened.

It feels like evil spirits may break in at any time.

But after lasting for a minute, the sound disappeared again and became quiet.

Wang Debiao bravely approached the door, wanting to observe the outside world through the crack in the door.

As soon as I got closer, I saw a pair of green eyes with pupils that were like whirlpools.

There is actually grass growing around the eyes!

"Oh my God!" The strange scene frightened Wang Debiao so much that he stepped back and fell to the ground.

"This Wang Debiao is too good, how could he be so scared?"

Zhao Xing was floating high in the sky, directing the actions of the soul-grabbing straw men.

Since taking the Life Soul Pill, his ability to control straw men has been greatly enhanced, and the upper limit of the number of straw men he can afford has also been greatly increased.

Currently, there are a thousand soul-grabbing grass people on the move in the northern planting area.

Most of them are distributed in the four directions of the planting area, and a small number are scattered and rooted in different fields.

Knowing that his opponent was the Holy Spirit King's Court, Zhao Xing was naturally prepared for it.

And to deal with ghosts, the best spells are [Evil Wind Evil] and [Soul-Restraining Grass Man].

The Soul-Jining Grass Man has one characteristic when facing the ghost army, that is, the more he fights, the stronger he becomes!

They can trap one or more ghosts in the straw man's body and possess some of the ghost's powers.

For example, if the ghost warrior is captured, the soul-retaining straw man will become infinitely powerful. If the hidden soul is captured, the straw man's mobility will be greatly improved.

Every part of the body of the Soul-Guarding Grass Man is filled with vortexes of the Five Elements of Yin, including the hands, elbows, knees, head, shoulders...

Every part that touches a ghost can absorb the soul and imprison it.

Zhao Xing's soul-binding straw man has reached the intermediate level nine and can trap nine ghosts into the body.

Although there are only a thousand straw men, they are more than enough to deal with these two thousand hidden souls. They are innate restraint!

Coupled with [The Evil of the Wind], it's like shutting the door and beating the dog.

There is an altar on a hill thirty miles away from the northern planting area.

This group of ghosts is controlled by Qi Yuanzi.

At this time, he was suddenly startled and found that many charms on the altar spontaneously ignited, and the paper figures placed on the altar suddenly fell down.

"not good!"

Qi Yuanzi suddenly felt something bad.

"Dragon protector, what's going on?" Morik also noticed the abnormality, but he was not a spell caster, so he didn't know the specific situation.

Morik was holding a ghost-headed flag. He originally wanted to wait for Qi Yuanzi to explore the bottom. If the situation was good, he planned to turn a sneak attack into a large-scale attack.

Because there are five thousand ghost soldiers and eight hundred ghost generals inside the ghost-headed flag.

"It was discovered!" Qi Yuanzi looked surprised, "There are experts in Tonghuo City, and the ghost I sent over has been arrested!"

Qi Yuanzi was possessed by one of the Ding ghosts, and he could see the situation ahead.

I saw groups of straw men surrounding him from all directions, charging at his ghost warriors.

Wherever it goes, the eighth-level ghost warriors have no resistance at all. Only the seventh-level ghosts Ding, Bing, A, B, and Wu can block it.

"Is this... the straw man method? The soul-binding straw man?" Qi Yuanzi was extremely surprised, "Someone can actually practice the straw man method to this extent."

"Bang!" Qi Yuanzi controlled Ding Gui to attack a straw man in front of him, and he met each other.

The soul-binding straw man was pushed back three meters, but the Ding ghost he possessed also lost part of his soul power, but the straw man remained strong and unyielding.

"Hiss, it also combined with the giant shield straw man. This is not a pure soul-holding straw man."

Qi Yuanzi was also quite knowledgeable and immediately saw the extraordinary nature of the straw man's method.

"retreat!"
