Chapter 1227 Howling Forest

The Yao Kingdom was a bit slow to react. It only started to move after seeing the Pixia people being beaten up.

It also sent food and weapons to Pixia, hoping that the latter could stand up again. At the same time, it met with several forces that were preparing to join the war and gave them some sweet treats, hoping that they would give up the attack.

The less attacking forces, the less pressure on the Pixia people.

Under its sugar-coated offensive, one force finally gave up joining and retreated to its own territory.

On the other side, Situ He actively ran around, lobbying for alliances and explaining the benefits and disadvantages. Under his strong persuasion, one force joined the alliance and officially declared war on Pixia.

There were two other forces wavering.

Situ Yu was also powerful, and at the critical moment, he captured another pass fortress.

So far, half of Gaopu Kingdom's former territory has been recovered.

It seems that even without help from others, the allied forces will soon be able to recover the remaining lost territory.

So, the last two forces quickly announced that they would join the battlefield.

This war full of chaos, game and hatred finally developed in the direction that He Lingchuan expected.

At this time, the power behind the Situ family, the Yangshan Islands, also began to enter the vision of all parties.

Situ Yu was originally beaten by the Bixia people and huddled in his territory. Even his son was captured and almost executed. As a result, he turned the tide in just one month and made great strides to recover the old country.

There must be a reason for this, right?

The spies of the Yao Kingdom and various forces are not vegetarians, and the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce did not hide itself and entered the game so openly.

But as He Lingchuan said, the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce only does business with the Situ family, with money and goods delivered on one hand, and does not involve other things on the surface. Therefore, all parties initially learned that a new island force had emerged on the sea, which was far away from the Shanjin Plain and very rich. I don’t know how the Situ family got in touch with them and got a large amount of money and grain loans on credit, so they were vigorous when fighting.

Of course, this was the news released by the Yangshan Islands and the Situ family themselves.

There are also several unreliable rumors circulating in the market, such as the Yangshan Islands seem to have taken away the famous fierce armor on the plains. The Pixia people and the Xuanlu Ghost King wanted to snatch it, but they returned empty-handed.

But the authenticity of this matter cannot be verified, so it can only be "said".

Not only Situ Yu, the Yangshan Islands also do business with Pengguo, Xiaoyao Sect and local areas, and buy the most valuable mountain and sea rights.

Such an external force has entered the game. Although it has not shown any aggressiveness except for business for the time being - defeating the Pixia people in the Rolling Stone Valley can only be regarded as self-defense - all parties must list it as a key focus.

Some people are wary of it, and some people want to contact it.

In the eyes of local people, the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce accidentally made a name for itself through a war and proved its strength. But don't forget that it has no foundation in the Shining Gold Plain and cannot cause damage to the ecology and pattern here.

What is the Shining Gold Plain? Even the powerful Mou Kingdom couldn't get involved, so how could an unknown chamber of commerce from the far sea stir up trouble?

Therefore, all forces were wary of it but did not reject it. Instead, they sent envoys to prepare for contact.

After all, it looked really rich.

Who would refuse a rich man?

The business of the Yangshan Islands in Peng Kingdom and the territory of the Situ family soon became prosperous.

…

The outside world was in turmoil and smoke was everywhere. He Lingchuan, Dong Rui and Fu Liushan had just arrived at the Howling Forest.

After Situ Yu captured Jucheng, he specially interrogated the county magistrate and learned that the death squad sent by the Xuanlu Ghost King in the city had also lost control, and the time was basically the same as He Lingchuan beheaded the ghost king in Mian Village.

In addition, when the Situ family's army fought with Bixia later, they did not encounter the vanguard troops composed of the death squads of the Xuanlu Ghost King.

The role of this kind of troops is to penetrate the enemy formation like a blade, tear open the opponent's defense, cause the greatest damage, and then the ordinary soldiers of their own side rushed forward.

Without this kind of opponent, the difficulty of the battle dropped sharply.

The Situ family recovered the lost territory of Gaopu so smoothly, which was also closely related to the retreat of the ghost king Xuanlu.

It would be fine if it was really killed, but He Lingchuan and others already knew that it was just faking its death to deceive people.

"Xuanlu has abandoned its allies again." He Lingchuan gave it a verdict, "What kind of person he was in life, what kind of ghost he is after death, it has not changed at all."

The ghost king Xuanlu faked his death and let the Bixia people stand up to the swords and guns of the Situ army alone. Isn't this selling out teammates?

Not to mention that there is an agreement between Xuanlu and the Bixia people. The Bixia people provide it with living souls, and it provides combat power to the Bixia people.

It doesn't even abide by the agreement. This character, no, ghost character is really not worth mentioning.

No wonder the Situ family is unwilling to join forces with it.

"Isn't this good?" Dong Rui laughed, "It abandoned its allies, and now no allies will come to save it, so we can do whatever we want."

Although they are all 100,000 mountains, the famous Howling Forest in front is obviously different from the mountains and fields they passed by.

The mountains here are like screens, not as broad and solid as other mountains, but long and narrow. Looking down from a high place, they look like the back of a crucian carp, and like sails moored in a harbor.

These ridges block the sunlight unceremoniously, and the valleys under the ridges are very deep, and the dense plants block the sunlight tightly.

Even at noon, few rays of sunlight can penetrate the branches and leaves to the ground.

But even if there is not enough sunlight, the plants here are unusually tall.

The wind rustles through the woods, as if there are thousands of words.

He Lingchuan has been listening attentively: "There are only forest sounds, no insects and birds."

It is not the cold winter now, the chirping of insects and birds is the standard of every forest, and occasionally there are beasts roaring to sing.

But the sound of the Howling Forest ahead is terribly monotonous, with only the wind blowing the leaves!

He Lingchuan has seen this situation before, and is even very familiar with it-

Before he arrived, wasn't the Yangshan Islands also like this?

There are several types of Yinsha land, either barren land, or extremely lush vegetation, showing as a miasma forest. The Howling Forest is the latter.

"It's almost noon, the time is just right." Fu Liushan looked up at the sky, "The Earth Sha is the weakest at this time, we will go under the trees with the most sunlight."

It is worth mentioning that all living people know that the Ghost King lives in the Howling Forest, but they don't know the exact location-

Those who are unfortunate enough to know are probably dead.

There are Yinsha, corpse puppets and evil ghosts in this forest, and even practitioners are unwilling to get close.

Even the human allies of the Xuanlu Ghost King will only send captives and sacrifices to the edge of the forest, and will not take a step further inside.

Living people are not allowed to approach, this is the rule of the Howling Forest.

"How far is it from where you were chased by the corpse puppet last time?" The Howling Forest is so large, the corpse puppets will not chase people everywhere for no reason. Therefore, the last time Fu Liushan entered this forest, he was probably not far from the ghost king's habitat, which is why he was driven away.
