Of course, we couldn't just go into the village just by going back to Huangshi Village. When we came out before, we knew that there were undead creatures everywhere, so we took a relatively safe method, which was to go around the outside of the village and then talk about it.

Compared with Shanxia Village, which has been burned to white land, Huangshi Village is much smaller, and it is more like a village. As for Shanxia Village, although its name is Shanxia Village, it is actually more suitable to be called Shanxiazhai or Shanxia Town. Whether in terms of scale or construction type, Shanxia Village does not look like a village. In comparison, Huangshi Village is much more worthy of its name.

We conducted a simple investigation around the periphery of Huangshi Village, with the purpose of finding where the zombies that surrounded us came from, but the result was very disappointing, because we searched all around and found any places where the corpses might be hidden. Besides, there are not only one or two zombies, and the hiding locations must be very large, or there are many. In theory, this kind of place should not be difficult to find, but we still didn't find any clues.

There are no traces of zombies near the village, which means that the zombies did not run out nearby. There may be three remaining surnames. One is that the zombies are hidden in the village, but this may not be a big surname. After all, Huangshi Village is basically half a ruin and nothing can be hidden. The second possibility is that the zombies are summoned. If this is the case, it means that there are one or more summoning enemies nearby. Of course, I guess they should be summoned by multiple enemies, not one, because if a single person is

The officer can summon so many zombies at once, so the power of this summoner is too strong, because at that time, Zhenhong and the other four acted together and only barely rushed out, and they couldn't do anything about those zombies at all. In other words, the strength of the other party has exceeded the sum of the combat power of the four of us. This is definitely too exaggerated, so the surname may not be large. The biggest possibility is that those zombies are summoned objects that belong to multiple summoners rather than one summoner.

The third possibility is that the zombies still exist directly, but they are not hidden in the village, but come from outside. However, this may not be a high surname, because the movement speed of the zombies before has shown that they cannot run for a long distance, and our appearance is an unexpected situation. The other party cannot move the zombies in advance and wait for us specifically, so naturally there is no possibility of the zombies raiding. Unless the other party has the ability to predict the future.

Taking into account many factors, the biggest possibility is that the other party is summoned by a group of summoners, and the summoner's movement speed is usually not slow. After all, it is very easy for the summoner to get a mount, so even if they cannot run fast by themselves, the summoner's movement speed will definitely not be too slow.

After roughly determining the source of the zombies, our next step is to wait, and I believe the system will not let us wait too long.

The facts were almost as we guessed. We just found some clues when we lurked around the village. At the beginning, we found the situation was Zhenhong, because a group of unknown creatures ran over from where she was hiding, and Zhenhong took the opportunity to hear a few conversations from the other party. Those unknown creatures seemed to be exploring the way, but did not enter the village after they arrived here, but left the area directly after a round of the outside.

After the foreign creatures left, a few people immediately came out of the village. Of course, the people mentioned here only refer to human-shaped creatures. As for what they are, I don’t know. Anyway, these guys obviously came out because of those unknown creatures just now. After running outside the village, these people paused at the place where the creatures stayed, then looked at the creatures that went away, and then returned to the village.

It was not until these people returned that Zhenhong moved carefully to us and asked me in a low voice: "Is this going to start a war?"

The gold coins first said: "It should be just a way to explore, and it may not be possible when the large troops behind will arrive."

Christina said, "Monsters are not humans after all, and their battles should not be as strict as human wars, right? Since they have even sent out the troops to explore the way, I guess they will be able to see the large army soon."

Zhenhong moved his hands and feet and said, "I hope! I'll almost rust if I squat down!"

"You have only been lurking for more than ten minutes, right?" Jin Qin joked.

"Do you know how to make a fortune? One day is equivalent to one year. I have been working for two or three days in these ten minutes, right? Isn't it normal for me to be a little tired after lurking for two or three days in a row?"

"That's an exaggeration, you're taking it seriously!"

We were having a verbal battle here, and suddenly we heard a violent sound of horse hooves rushing towards us, very fast, almost in the blink of an eye. I looked at the situation outside and then started to disguise it again. Just now, I could see the situation outside clearly at first glance.

The horsemen didn't intend to hide anything at all. A large group of cavalry rushed over along the road. Less than half a minute after the sound of horse hooves of the cavalry appeared, the village here immediately responded, and the first one was our old acquaintance, that is, the group of zombies covering their faces with cloth curtains.

These zombies still have the same old style. After they appeared, they began to walk along the road at a very slow speed, and the speed was very slow. It felt like they were going for a walk instead of going to war.

The cavalry on the opposite side did not care about the situation here. Those who rode on horses looked humanoids, and most of them were no different from humans. Only a few were wearing the armor made of bamboo strips that were very common in Japan. Most of the weapons were Japanese knives, and the few used the giant samurai-like naginata we encountered before. Of course, the naginata of these cavalry were all normal proportions, with no more than two meters in length, and were mainly lightweight when used.

The galloping cavalry was very fast, and they rushed to the front of the zombies almost in the blink of an eye. Of course, there was no suspense. The zombies were slow and stiff, and they had no combat power at all, which was a large number of them. However, the problem was that there were also a large number of cavalry, and the cavalry in the rushing magnitude was too fast, and the impact of the horses was strong. The zombies could not stop the galloping horses and could only be knocked down. Once they fell, they would be stepped on by the cavalry behind them in turn, and eventually turned into a pile of rotten meat.

The battle between the two sides was basically **, and the zombie brigade was completely defeated with one charge, but there was no bloody situation in the battle. There were almost no casualties on the cavalry. Except for some cavalry who fell into the bushes on the side of the road because the grading route was too close to the edge of the road and fell into the bushes on the side, most of them rushed into the village smoothly. As for the zombie team on the other side... although they were almost wiped out, these zombies had been dead for a long time. Anyway, even if they were chopped up, they could not see any trace of blood. At most, they were just some pieces of meat.

Although I had known that the system would not let us wait too long, I didn't expect the speed to be so fast. Before I could react, I had already rushed in.

As the cavalry brigade entered the village, we naturally jumped out and started to touch the village.

When the cavalry team just passed by, I roughly looked at it. The total number of cavalry was only about one hundred. However, according to General Qiman, there were more than two hundred monsters in the village there. In other words, in terms of number, the wave of monsters in the village had an absolute advantage. Of course, this was just a numerical advantage. The group of foreign monsters who dared to challenge the owner here must have a certain understanding of the other party's strength, and in this case they dared to launch an attack, which means that the opponent's strength is actually not much worse than the monsters here, otherwise they should not dare to launch an attack at all.

We followed the cavalry and easily touched the periphery of the village. Along the way, we did not encounter any trouble except killing a few zombies who were not dead.

"Come back!" As soon as I touched the village, I grabbed Zhenhong, who was about to stretch out and look around, said: "Are you discovered your golden head when you look up?"

Zhenhong looked down at her hands, then thought for a while and asked, "What should I do?"

"Of course, it was Christina who came on." Jin Coin said.

Christina didn't say anything nonsense, she opened a mirror of water element in front of us, and then released another wizard's eye. This time we can directly see the situation in the entire village.

In fact, Christina's Wizard Eye is equivalent to an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, and it is also invisible. In addition, this water element mirror is equivalent to the video monitor output port corresponding to the unmanned reconnaissance. Of course, this thing only has the ability to receive videos, and it is necessary for Christina to control the Wizard Eye to complete it himself. However, with these two things, we are basically the same as having our own unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.

In Christina's magic, we soon discovered that the personnel of both sides had entered a full-scale combat state in the central area of ​​the village, and the people on both sides seemed to have similar strengths, and there was a stalemate. The number of demons that originally occupied Huangshi Village was large, but the new group of demons had a higher single combat power, so the two sides would not be able to decide the winner for a while. However, as far as I look at it, it is estimated that the final victory will probably belong to the invader side, because the latter has stronger single strength.

In fact, when the overall strength of both sides is not much different, the side with higher single combat power will often win the final victory. This phenomenon has been proven many times in the real battlefield. The most obvious evidence is that in the era of battleships, the battleships with thick armor and large caliber can completely defeat several times the number of naval guns with the same caliber and higher speeds, but the only battlecruisers with thinner armor have been heard. Although most Chinese people have heard famous sayings such as "no firmness cannot be broken, only fast cannot be broken", in fact, the speed gap between the two sides in combat is often not too large. Therefore, although they will indeed have an advantage after the speed is fast, the advantages generated by everyone's speed can often not offset the advantages brought by heavy armor.

This phenomenon can be seen everywhere in reality. Light tanks can only serve as infantry support firepower, and the casualties ratio of heavy tanks can be scared to death. Most light fighters are multi-purpose auxiliary attack aircraft. If they really fight against heavy fighters, they will basically be killed by being abused. The same is true at sea. The combat effectiveness of heavy warships is often beyond imagination, while light warships can only fight. Among these physical objects, the light side often has advantages in speed and flexible surnames, but they cannot beat bulky heavy units as a result. The reason is that the speed gap between the two sides has not actually reached the point where they can reverse the situation.

Although the situation in the village is not entirely a matter of speed, the more elite invaders have an absolute advantage in single combat power. Therefore, the personnel exchange ratio between the two sides will definitely not be one to one. Once the guard starts to die, their overall strength will begin to decline, which will lead to a decrease in lethality to the stronger side. This innate weakness will cause the battle situation to be gradually guided to a more favorable state for the stronger side, which means that the strength of the invader side will decline very slowly with the battle, while the guard side will quickly lose its combat power. If this continues, the combat power of both sides will inevitably become larger and larger, and then the guard side will have to wait to die obediently.

Of course, this kind of battle situation is actually beneficial to us, because we can take this opportunity to destroy the legendary soul collector.

To be honest, the most worrying thing about our team in this mission is not the infiltration problem, but how to find the soul collector, because we still don’t know what the soul collector looks like so far. The soul collector of the demon king is hidden very thoroughly. The monster bought by General Qiman only knows that their boss has such a thing that can absorb souls in large quantities and use them to strengthen their own strength, but none of them have seen what this thing looks like. No one of them knows what this thing looks like, so General Qiman naturally doesn’t know. Needless to say, we outsiders, we must have never seen it before.

However, although we don’t know what this soul collector looks like, I personally think it is not too difficult to identify. The key is that this thing will absorb soul energy, so it will definitely carry a certain amount of soul fluctuations. As long as we use this point, it is not difficult to find this thing. After all, dead objects should not have soul fluctuations, because they have no souls, while this soul collector carries soul fluctuations, which is the most obvious sign.

After confirming that the monsters had started fighting, we started to act. Although the inner protected person whom General Qiman had never seen the specific appearance of the soul collector, he knew where this thing was, so we just need to search for the designated location.

Based on the map of Huangshi Village that we had seen from General Qiman before, we quickly touched the back of one of the very ordinary houses. The front of the house had collapsed by more than half, but the yard behind the back is still there, and the location we found is in the entire yard. In fact, there is a row of rooms behind the yard, and compared with the room in front, the room behind the back is much more complete, with almost no obvious damage.

The destination of our trip was in the middle of the room in the back row. Since the room in front collapsed halfway blocked the door to enter, we could enter the room in the back row with a big swing. Anyway, there was a row of houses in front that blocked them and couldn't see this side at all.

After the room in the middle was opened, there was obviously a lot of people entering and leaving, because both sides were not dirty at all, but were extremely clean, and it could even be said to be spotless. The ground was a marble floor that was completely inconsistent with the outside of the house. Although the walls were still the structure of thatched houses, there was a watermelon-sized metal ball suspended on the ground in the center of the room and slowly rotating on the ground. Although it was not high from the ground, the ball was indeed suspended and did not land.

"This shouldn't be that collector, right?" Zhenhong asked uncertainly as he looked at the golden sphere on the ground.

In fact, we have similar ideas to Zhenhong. Although this thing looks special, it does not have any soul fluctuations. I can even use spiritual scanning to scan this thing through the penetration. If this thing can really absorb the soul, then even if it cannot absorb the souls of us, then I should be able to absorb some of the spiritual energy I took the initiative to explore the past? But the fact is that this thing has no response to our soul energy at all, which means that this thing cannot sense the existence of the soul.

After waiting for a long time without hearing our answer, Zhenhong simply stepped into the room. Before, because the ground was special, we were actually standing at the door and not walking in. But now, as soon as Zhenhong stepped in, the metal ball on the ground immediately responded.

Originally, the golden sphere was always at a very low height and was rotating at a very slow speed. However, as Zhenhong stepped on the marble ground, the sphere's rotation speed began to suddenly increase, and the sphere's own height was also rising, but the speed was very slow.

Seeing this situation, Zhenhong immediately stepped back, and the metal ball immediately began to slow down and slowly fell back to its original height.

"Can this thing sense someone approaching?" Jin Coin asked in surprise as he looked at the metal ball that had quieted down again.

Christina pushed away Zhenhong and Jin coins, who were blocking the door, and walked in directly, and said, "The energy fluctuations just now were space-based. This thing is mostly a teleportation array or something. Come up together and let's see where it will send us."
