Chapter 43: Ghost Head Mountain
Su Mu’s punch killed one of the Black Armored Cavalry, scaring the other nine Black Armored Cavalry into turning their horses around and fleeing in panic.
He had thought that he was just an ordinary First Rated Warrior, but who knew that his combat strength was so strong!
If he didn’t escape, he would lose his life!
Looking at the fleeing backs of these Black Armored Cavalry, Su Mu’s eyes flickered, but he didn’t chase after them.
This place wasn’t far from the military camp, and they would probably reach the enemy’s base camp in a few moves.
Moreover, there was no point in killing these black-armored cavalry. It was better to bury Liu Gaotian as soon as possible.
Otherwise, when the enemy caught up again, he would probably be exposed in the wilderness.
“Yue Qing, time is of the essence. Let’s quickly find a place to bury your father.”
“Yes!”
After crying for a while, Liu Leqing became stronger.
Although her eyes were still red and swollen, she no longer cried.
Su Mu took a piece of armor from the Black Armored Cavalry he had killed and used it as a shovel.
He found a remote place and dug a big pit to bury Liu Gaotian.
He did not dare to make a tombstone. He could only move a large stone and place it on the tombstone as a mark.
“Brother Mu, what should we do now?”
Liu Leqing stood on his father’s grave. He almost couldn’t stop his tears, but in the end, he held them back.
“Let’s leave this place first. I will definitely take revenge for this!”
Su Mu’s eyes narrowed slightly, already thinking of what to do next.
The Prince of Beiling’s great plan to refine the corpse should be the key to this simulated world.
As long as he could figure out the secrets within, he would be able to find the best path to evolution!
As for the Beiling King, he must have been an enemy on his way to clearing the dungeon, so he decided to take revenge.
After coming up with a rough plan, Su Mu didn’t stay here for long and left with Liu Leqing.
Not long after they left, hundreds of black-armored cavalry charged over.
Unfortunately, Su Mu and Liu Leqing were nowhere to be found.
They could only leave resentfully.
※※※※※※
A month and a half later.
In a restaurant in Jizhou, it was crowded with people.
With such a prosperous scene, no one could imagine what kind of terrible famine would happen in Jizhou in ten days!
Sometimes, disasters came so suddenly.
In the corner of the restaurant sat a muscular man with a dusty face.
This person looked ordinary, and it was difficult to find him in a crowd.
He ate the meat in big mouthfuls as if he was in a hurry.
At this moment, the conversation of a few Jianghu people at the table next to him attracted his attention.
“Have you heard? Recently, a mysterious expert has appeared, and he specifically attacked and killed the Black Armored Cavalry under the Beiling King’s command!”
“What is it? He even dared to provoke the people of the Northern Mountain King? Who was this person? This courage is so big that it can swallow the sky!”
“Isn’t this audacious! In the Ji Prefecture, the King of Beiling was the heavens! However, that person came and went without a trace. After making a move, he immediately fled thousands of miles away. Until now, no one knew his true identity.”
“Good ability! He must be at least a Postliminary Realm expert, right?”
“It might be more than that! A few days ago, a Pre-Sky Realm martial artist under the Beiling King’s command exchanged blows with him and was seriously injured!”
“Good heavens, is that a Xiantian warrior? This is really a good show!”
“Hehe, he’s just a Xiantian Realm martial artist. Can’t the Beiling King handle him? It was said that the Beiling King had been angered. A few days ago, he sent ten Xiantian Realm martial artists and a martial arts grandmaster to capture this person. He was afraid that it would not be long before he lost his life!”
“Hiss! Such a big deal? It seemed like the Northern Mountain King was truly furious!”
“Exactly! It was said that that person was still spreading rumors, saying that the Beiling King used the blood of his soldiers to feed the zombies. Wasn’t this nonsense? Which superior would do such a thing? Was he crazy?”
“That person probably has some deep hatred with the Beiling King. He wants to bite off a piece of meat from the Beiling King even if he has to risk his life. It’s just that this rumor is a little lacking. If it were me, I would make it up like this…”
“Cough cough! He didn’t dare to spout nonsense. Be careful that the walls had ears!”
“Ahahaha, let’s not talk about it anymore. Come, drink, drink!”
Hearing the conversation between the two martial artists, Su Mu narrowed his eyes and continued to bury his head in the meat.
That’s right, this ordinary-looking muscular man sitting in the corner was the disguised Su Mu.
During this month and a half, he practiced martial arts while investigating the Beiling King.
As for the black-armored cavalry that he killed and the ‘rumors’ that he spread, it was all done in passing.
Su Mu knew that these actions wouldn’t shake the foundation of the Beiling King, so he decided to do something along the way.
His real goal was to figure out what the Beiling King was doing and what the purpose of refining the corpse was.
The hard work he had put in during this period of time had allowed Su Mu to reap a bountiful harvest!
The first was martial arts.
In terms of realm, Su Mu didn’t improve.
The few ordinary martial arts he practiced were unable to cultivate Gang Qi, so he was unable to advance to the Pre-Sky Realm.
However, Su Mu’s battle prowess was constantly increasing!
After completing body refinement, it was not as if there was no room for improvement in a martial artist’s physical fitness.
However, the speed of improvement was greatly reduced, and he needed to use Stellar Energy to temper his body more effectively.
However, Su Mu was different. With his 12 points Constitution and [Heavenly Widow], he could still continue to improve.
Now, although Su Mu was still a First Rated Warrior, his combat strength was already stronger than ordinary Pre-Sky Realm warriors!
Such a situation was extremely rare.
After all, a martial arts genius like Su Mu, under normal circumstances, how could he possibly lack high-grade martial arts techniques?
Let’s talk about the progress of the investigation.
After half a month of investigation, Su Mu found that there was a problem with the place called “Ghost Head Mountain”!
This Ghost Head Mountain was often visited by large numbers of black-armored cavalry and some other experts.
The security was terrifyingly tight!
Other than that, there were also some huge cages covered in black cloth coming in and out every day.
Seeing this kind of cage, Su Mu couldn’t help but think of using it to transport zombies.
Therefore, Su Mu concluded that there was something wrong with this place!
However, Ghost Head Mountain was heavily guarded, and even Su Mu found it difficult to approach.
He had never found a chance to sneak in before.
However, recently, the angered Northern Mountain King had sent many experts to hunt him down.
This caused the defensive forces near Ghost Head Mountain to be greatly reduced.
Su Mu’s chance had finally come!
The Northern Mountain King probably never thought that there would be such a fearless person in the world who would sneak into his lair when he was being pursued!
Little did he know that Su Mu was not afraid of death.
After eating his fill, Su Mu silently left the restaurant and blended into the crowd.
Mount Ghosthead was near the city.
Su Mu planned to sneak in late at night to see what secrets were hidden inside!
This trip was extremely dangerous, and Su Mu had even made preparations to reopen it.
But no matter what, he was determined to break through this Ghost Head Mountain!
As night fell, the flow of people in the city decreased.
After all, this wasn’t Beijing, so it wasn’t as lively at night.
As for Su Mu, he had left the city early and was heading towards a remote area.
Along the way, there were countless hidden sentries, but he dodged them all.
After carefully sneaking around for nearly four hours, Su Mu finally arrived at the vicinity of Ghost Head Mountain.
It was a tall, twisted mountain that looked ferocious in the darkness.
As he approached, Su Mu could even smell a faint rancid smell.
This was the smell of zombies!
They could smell the scent of zombies from two kilometers away.
How many zombies were hidden on this Ghost Head Mountain?
Su Mu couldn’t help but be shocked!
