The moment he stepped into the gate of Duke Xu's Mansion, Jiang Chen couldn't help but take stock of the strength and influence he currently had to help.

…………

In terms of strength:

The powerful power brought by the scavenger ritual, the two fates of "Defender" and "Han Ranger", as well as the new ability promoted from the entanglement of grass: Demon-killing vines!

Because he had just acquired it, Jiang Chen had no time to test the actual effect of this ability and could only apply it in actual combat.

…………

Power level:

The Hundred Generals of the People's Liberation Army, with ten Qingzhou soldiers as the core and eighty militiamen as their wings, formed a team. It has a high influence among the people's husbands.

…………

Level of assistance:

He had a close relationship with Zhang Longxiang's military officials at all levels.

Close relationship with General Feng Lebin.

…………

"Have I grown to this point without realizing it?"

Jiang Chen felt happy and cautiously walked into Duke Xu's mansion.

Behind him, the four men led by Gongsun Hu, all carrying shields, stone ropes, short spears, long spears and other equipment, as well as more than sixty Qingzhou soldiers brought by Feng Lebin, also carrying many spears and swords, were fully armed and followed closely.

Following Jiang Chen's footsteps, they stepped into the mansion together.

And everyone’s first reaction was—

"Does anyone really live here?"

Around the front yard, most of the valuable things have been taken away, dilapidated and empty, as if they had been looted by robbers a hundred and eighty times.

No one who comes here will think that there are still people living in this mansion.

but!

A trace of regret flashed in Yin Qiu's eyes, and he said decisively:

"All the Xu clan members live in underground secret rooms, because I arranged for people to send vegetables and meat there."

Jiang Chen understood and asked Yin Chou to continue leading the way.

soon.

Many soldiers strode into the back garden.

Yin Qiu walked to a rockery and gently knocked it a few times. Suddenly, a rockery suddenly cracked open, revealing a passage.

Feng Lebin held the knife and was ready to go in.

Jiang Chen stared at the dark entrance of the cave, his eyebrows stinging. He shook his head, stopped Feng Lebin's reckless action, and ordered his soldiers to collect feces and wet firewood and burn them at the entrance of the cave.

then.

Several more screens were found and made into oversized fans. The soldiers shook the fans desperately, and white smoke billowed into the cave door.

Just one stick of incense.

The thirty or forty Xu clan members inside could no longer hold back any longer. They covered their mouths and noses and ran away. When they saw soldiers holding hands at the entrance of the cave, they simply put down their weapons and raised their hands to signal surrender.

Feng Lebin was stunned:

"They surrendered before even fighting?"

Jiang Chen sneered:

"As for literati, a small number of them are loyal and worthy of admiration, but most of them may have resolutely jumped into the river a moment ago, preparing to drown and die for their country.

But the next moment, they will reply to you, ‘The water is too cold’ and turn around to join the enemy country. This is the nature of most literati.”

Feng Lebin deeply agreed. Scolding the literati Feila was always the most interesting topic among military generals.

Immediately afterwards.

Gongsun Hu then interrogated the many Xu clan members who had escaped one by one with a straight face. The more he listened, the more serious his expression became, and he quickly reported to Jiang Chen:

"Boss, those Xu clan members fled. On the one hand, they were filled with smoke and couldn't breathe. On the other hand, the corpse demon was out of control. When it realized that it had no way to retreat, it began to devour the Xu clan members, trying to

By taking this opportunity to recover from their injuries, under internal and external difficulties, everyone completely gave up resistance and chose to surrender."

Jiang Chen understood and asked:

"How many members of the Xu clan failed to escape?"

Gongsun Hu immediately said:

"There are about sixteen or seventeen people, which is enough for the corpse demon to fully recover from its injuries. How about taking advantage of the fact that the corpse demon has not yet recovered and go in in advance to catch it off guard?"

"Those Xu clan members confessed that the corpse demon's strength is related to its size. Last night it was still as thin as a human being, but it only needs to eat twenty or thirty living people to enter a mature state. If it eats more boys and girls, it will become mature.

Maybe even get stronger."

Jiang Chen shook his head.

He doesn't like to fight in unknown environments.

The unknown means danger and the possibility of failure. Instead of venturing into a narrow underground chamber, it is better to lure it out with flesh and blood.

As we all know.

In a narrow environment, it is best to defeat more with less, especially those with strong individual abilities.

"The Road to Shu is Difficult" once described a similar situation: "The sword pavilion is majestic and Cui Wei, one man is in charge of the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it. Those who are guarding or robbing relatives turn into wolves and jackals!"

And now,

Since we have the advantage in military strength, why use our own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths?

Jiang Chen ordered his soldiers to stop burning excrement. The corpse demon was not a normal life. It did not need to breathe and had almost no vital points. The smoke was of no use. On the contrary, it would obstruct the vision of many soldiers.

soon.

The smoke and dust cleared.

The soldiers carefully cut the throats of live chickens and ducks, bled them, and threw them at the entrance of the cave.

However,

But he never saw the corpse demon being tempted and running out of the underground secret room.

Feng Lebin sneered:

"It seems that this corpse demon has some brains and knows how to hide in a narrow environment so that he can have a chance to fight back."

Just then.

The current head of the Xu family begged Gongsun Hu for a long time, and finally got the opportunity to meet Jiang Chen. He walked over quickly, gritted his teeth and said:

[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, www. Install the latest version. 】

"This corpse demon was originally my youngest child, named Xu Hui. When hundreds of ghosts were walking at night, for some unknown reason, he suddenly turned into a corpse demon. As if being controlled by someone, he rushed out of the door and met with Gui.

Army battle.

But not long after, it was seriously injured and hurriedly fled back to Xu Gong's Mansion.

In the first day or two, whenever someone in the house was injured, it would be unable to control its desire and eat the person alive. In desperation, I had no choice but to put it in a cage and gradually lose weight.

But who would have thought that after its body shrank, it escaped from the gap in the cage, causing today's trouble..."

The head of the Xu family talked a lot, but the central idea was only one sentence:

"The smell of the blood of live chickens and ducks is not enough to attract the corpse demon."

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and asked:

"Do you have another child named Xu Ming?"

The head of the Xu family seemed to be glowing with green light all over his body. He nodded and said sadly: "Yes, but he died in the battle in the Hou Mansion."

Jiang Chen twitched the corner of his mouth and ordered his soldiers to immediately go to the mass graves outside the city, get some fresh blood and flesh, and place them in different places according to his plan:

At the cave entrance, ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters, forty meters outside the cave.

and.

In the process of searching for fresh blood and flesh, many soldiers were not idle, and quickly prepared several traps, inviting you to enter the urn.

It didn't take long.

The corpse demon in the underground secret room, Xu Hui, suddenly twitched his nose, his brain was suddenly controlled by the desire to devour flesh and blood, and then he ran towards the cave door crazily.

An indescribable fishy smell gradually wafted out from the cave door. This smell was like the smell of rotten seafood that was heated at high temperatures in a microwave oven. It was disgusting.

Yin Qiu clenched his fists and said angrily: "Yes, this is the smell. This was the smell when my daughter disappeared!"

"Master Jiang, please kill this monster!"

"I try my best."

Jiang Chen looked intently.

A huge and ugly monster figure gradually ran out of the dark passage, then greedily reached out and grabbed the delicious flesh and blood, chewed and swallowed it, and the blood dripped down the fangs and sharp teeth, which looked particularly terrifying!
