Early the next morning.

Yang Wanli and Dian Wei brought news again.

After midnight last night, the strange woman crying loudly in the valley frightened Hao Meng's troops, so they did not continue searching for the tomb at night, but all returned to the camp to rest.

Unexpectedly, when I woke up in the morning to check the numbers, just like Yang Wanli's previous experience, there were two people missing for no apparent reason.

Hao Meng immediately ordered people to search around, but found nothing.

In the end, the matter had to be left alone. Hao Meng publicly labeled the two missing soldiers as deserters. After soothing the soldiers' emotions, he ordered the troops to continue digging in various directions in the valley.

"Why do two people always disappear?"

"Could it be that the tomb guard has limited manpower and can only kill two people at a time silently?"

"Or maybe the tomb guard didn't want to go on a killing spree, so he just gave a small warning as a warning, just to scare off the invading enemies?"

Some things cannot be understood by just thinking.

However, Wu Liang did not easily shake his conclusion that "there are tombkeepers here". He just arranged for Yang Wanli and Dian Wei to eat and rest first, and then go to the valley to continue surveillance at night.

As for the daytime when the visibility is better, just two people can monitor the movements of Hao Meng's troops from a far away place.

It just so happens that Yang Wanli and Dian Wei take turns.

…

In the evening of the second day.

Hao Meng's troops did not find the mausoleum, but as soon as the genius darkened, they all returned to the camp in advance to repair it.

It can be seen that the strange woman crying at night and the disappearance of the two soldiers had a certain negative impact on their morale, making them feel a little scared.

…

Morning on the third day.

Two more people from Hao Meng's unit are missing, but nothing has been found.

Yang Wanli and Dian Wei still didn't see how the two people disappeared, and Yang Wanli once again expressed his theory of revenge for the tomb owner.

…

In the evening of the third day.

Nothing happened.

…

Morning on the fourth day.

Two more people from Hao Meng's unit are missing, and some people in the army have begun to spread ghost stories.

Hao Meng ordered his men to arrest the two leaders and whip them ten times in public as a warning to others, temporarily suppressing the rumors of ghosts.

…

The evening of the fourth day.

Hao Meng ordered many intricate ropes to be tied around the camp, and some light iron objects were tied to the ropes. If someone touched the ropes at night, they would make a jingling noise.

…

Morning on the fifth day.

The iron weapons were silent all night, and Hao Meng's troops finally had no more missing persons, and the morale of the army was determined.

…

…

…

The seventh day.

At noon, people were being carried back to the camp one after another. Some of these people kept vomiting, some had shitted their pants, and some even fainted.

The camp was in chaos, and there were soldiers everywhere who were weak and groaning in pain.

…

The eighth day.

The situation became more and more serious, and visual inspection revealed that at least half of the soldiers had similar symptoms.

After a small number of soldiers died, Hao Meng ordered his men to dig a large pit near the camp, wrap the dead in straw mats, throw them into the pit, and set them on fire.

The soldiers were so panicked that they knelt in front of Hao Meng and asked for an order to withdraw.

Hao Meng was caught in a dilemma, but still refused to withdraw his troops lightly. He personally led his men out of the camp to investigate, and soon found six badly decomposed corpses in the upper reaches of the creek.

These six corpses are the soldiers who disappeared in succession in the past few days.

The carrion was soaked in the stream and tied with ropes to the trees beside the stream to prevent the water from rushing downstream. It turned out that the stream water Hao Meng's men had been drinking recently was exactly the kind of water in which the carrion was soaked!

Hao Meng was furious and ordered his men to pull out the six rotting corpses and burn them to ashes. He returned to the camp and explained the reason to the soldiers, breaking the rumors of ghosts and ghosts circulating in the army, and strictly prohibited drinking raw water.

Later, they sent people to search the mountain again, but still found nothing.

…

The tenth day.

Symptoms of the disease are still spreading among soldiers, and more than half have died.

Hao Meng was forced to move out of the camp with the soldiers who had not yet shown symptoms. They were prohibited from contacting the soldiers in the camp. Once someone died, they were burned immediately to avoid future troubles.

At this point, less than a hundred people in Hao Meng's army were still standing, and everyone was in panic and morale was low.

However, that night, Yang Wanli and Dian Wei finally saw a mysterious man outside Hao Meng's troops. In the darkness of the night, the small iron weapons Hao Meng ordered to place around the camp suddenly made a noise.

At this time, Hao Meng's troops were like frightened birds, and immediately rushed out when they heard the noise.

As a result, a mysterious man was captured lying next to the rope and twitching as if he was suffering from epilepsy.

But after Hao Meng and others saw the mysterious man's appearance, there was a clear look of fear on his face, but in the end they managed to tie him back to the camp.

With the help of the firelight in the camp, Yang Wanli and Dian Wei finally saw the appearance of the mysterious man.

According to the two men, it is better to call it a "monster" than a human being.

The forehead of the "monster" is much larger than that of a normal person. There are not many hairs on the head. The eyes are one big and one small. The lips are only half long. Half of the gums and teeth are exposed, drooling all the time.

In addition, the "monster's" arms are also one long and one short. When he walks, he is stooped and swaying very uncoordinated.

What is this if not a "monster"?

After regaining consciousness, Hao Meng wanted to ask some information from the "monster", but the "monster" could only howl. Hao Meng ordered someone to pry open the "monster"'s mouth, and then he suddenly discovered

The "monster" had already had his tongue cut out.

Hao Meng believed that the "monster" had an accomplice, so he tied the "monster" on the river beach and tortured him continuously. He cut the "monster" with one knife after another, causing him to scream in agony.

After a while, the "monster's" screams actually attracted seven or eight similar "monsters".

Those "monsters" also had different shapes. They looked old and young, male and female. They held forks and scimitars in their hands and rushed toward Hao Meng and others desperately.

Unfortunately, there was a huge disparity in numbers between the two. After just a few breaths, all the "monsters" fell to the ground.

Death, death, injury.

After the battle, Hao Meng ordered people to inspect and discovered that these "monsters" had all had their tongues cut out. Not only could they not speak, but even if they were asked, they would not understand.

…

At the same time, these days, in the eyes of Cao Zhen, Dian Wei, Yang Wanli, and the soldiers of the Hu army, Wu Liang has become a magic fortune teller who can make calculations!

Because except for the "monsters" who suddenly appeared at the end, almost everything else was predicted in advance by Wu Liang.

Even the bodies of the six missing soldiers had been discovered by Wu Liang two days earlier when he sent people to the upper reaches of the stream. It should be noted that Hao Meng's army had not yet begun to suffer from widespread illness at that time.

!

But Wu Liang's attention is at this moment.
Chapter completed!
