Chapter 67: Collecting Corpses, the Witch

Early in the morning, at the east gate of Yuanwu City.

"drive!"

"drive!"

A young figure riding a big red horse galloped quickly eastward along the official road.

It was Wang Yuan who was heading to Daxing City.

The two cities of Daxing and Yuanwu are only a little over a hundred miles apart, and with the speed of a good horse, it would take less than an hour to get there.

If you're quick, you can leave in the morning and be back at noon or in the afternoon.

The road is very clean and empty...

Originally there should have been a lot of bones on both sides, but now there are none at all. I don’t know whether they were cleaned up by the people of Yuanwu City or dragged underground by the ghost soldiers. There is nothing but yellow soil and yellow sand.

It was not until we were almost at Daxing City that we saw scattered bones and tattered clothes on the road, and they were becoming more and more numerous and denser.

Too many people died during the three years of drought.

Except for a few who escaped first, perhaps some survived in Yuanwu City.

The rest are basically gone.

Especially when the temperature reversed at the end and the Jinta River dried up quickly, even though Wang Yuan was no longer here, he could imagine the situation at that time. It must have been horrific and tragic.

This place has become a dead place, there is not even a crow around.

All I saw were piles of dry bones, tattered flags and signs in the city, and broken walls and ruins, all in a grayish white.

"~~"

Wang Yuan didn't look any further and rode straight to the Wang family's old house.

The Wang family's old house was sold at the beginning, but after the original owner's sister died, in order to prevent his sister's body from being dug out and eaten by others, the original owner secretly buried her in the old house.

The family that bought the old house later disappeared.

Because this place is far away from the Jinta River, it has been abandoned.

Now it’s even more useless.

Wang Yuan came to the old house familiarly, dismounted and walked into the garden, quickly found the location, then squatted down and started digging with his hands.

After a while, they dug underneath and revealed a ball of brocade.

When it was taken out and opened, a small corpse was immediately revealed.

It’s too small, the skull is not even as big as a palm.

Looking at it, I seem to think of that little guy...

There is also a handful of yellow soil next to it.

"Wow—"

Wang Yuan quickly rewrapped the brocade, took out a box from the storage bag, put the brocade in, and then put it back into the storage bag.

Then he went out and headed straight for the cemetery on the northwest slope.

This was the burial place of his original body’s parents. He dug it out and treated it in the same way, putting it into the storage bag.

That's the end of it.

The main reason he came here was that he didn't want the corpses of his original parents and sister to be assimilated and driven by the underworld, and then fight with humans, be broken into pieces and scattered everywhere.

All he could do was to dig it up and bury it in a beautiful place.

That's it.

After the matter was settled, Wang Yuan returned.

He didn't want to stay in this place full of death for even a moment. He felt despair with every breath.

"drive!"

"drive!"

Return along the same route and gallop on horseback.

If everything goes well, we can return to Yuanwu City at noon.

Just when they were still more than twenty miles away from Yuanwu City, a red figure suddenly appeared in front.

The stunning red girl, short and thin, stood out on the endless loess road.

"Lv~~"

Wang Yuan quickly pulled the horse, slowly stopped, and frowned slightly.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
The figure appeared a little abruptly. I didn't notice it at first, but it suddenly appeared.

In a deserted place, a woman...

It was daytime, the sun was shining brightly, it couldn't be a ghost, so it could only be...

Witch!

Witch!

In short, it is highly likely that he is not a normal person.

However, the distance was several hundred meters and the system could not give any prompts.

"Brother~~"

Just when Wang Yuan was thinking about whether to turn his horse around immediately and move away or go around it, a charming voice suddenly came into his mind, the sound was lingering and captivating.

"Witch!"

Wang Yuan confirmed.

I don’t know whether it is a human or a monster.

The Vajra True Meaning in his mind moved, and that seductive thought disappeared.

"Brother~~"

The charming voice started again, with a hint of coquettishness.

"!!!"

Wang Yuan knew he couldn't escape.

Hundreds of meters away, the sound reached his ears clearly...

It is impossible for a seventh-grade person to have such magical powers, at least a sixth-grade person would be impossible.

Experts above the sixth rank have integrated the spiritual power of heaven and earth and can control their energy to fly. With this in mind, there is no way he can escape, so he can only face it head-on!

"drive!"

Wang Yuan approached slowly on horseback.

When he got closer, he realized that this was actually a girl who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, with red lips and white teeth, an exceptionally delicate appearance, and narrow, somewhat coquettish eyes.

Her feet were bare, and a small golden bell was hung on each of her wrists, ankles and neck.

He looks quite clever and lively, a bit like a little Nezha, a stunning version of a 484 or 1090-year-old. "~!"

Wang Yuan's scalp felt slightly numb. It turned out that he was not a normal person.

It could be a human, a peerless genius!
It might be a monster, a sixth-grade incarnation!
No matter which one, he has to deal with it carefully.

"Brother, I want to go to Yuanwu City, can you take me there?"

The witch looked at Wang Yuan, her narrow eyes sparkling, and smiled sweetly.

"Go to Yuanwu City?"

Wang Yuan's heart moved and he dismounted from his horse.

"Sure, you get on the horse and I'll lead you."

"Just take me with you on horseback. I'm very light."

The temptress promotes herself.

"There are differences between men and women. Hurry up and get on. There are still 20 to 30 miles left. It will take us an hour to walk."

Wang Yuan smiled and remained persistent.

"Okay, help me up then."

The witch stretched out her hands.

"~~"

Wang Yuan patted the horse's back.

"Red Rose, get down."

"Pfft~~"

The red horse snorted, then bent its limbs and slowly lay down.

"Go up."

Wang Yuandao.

"..."

The witch was speechless. She walked up to him and sat on him.

"Red Rose, get up."

Wang Yuan stood up, leading the red horse.

"Let's go."

"You big red horse are quite obedient."

The witch was surprised.

"I borrowed it from someone else."

"Such a spiritual horse should be worth a lot of money."

"I don't know. I've never been in the horse business."

"Brother, are you a warrior?"

"Ah."

"What grade is that?"

"Eighth grade."

"Wow, brother, you are already at the eighth level at such a young age, so amazing!"

"..."

"elder brother……"

"My name is Lu Sheng, just call me by my name! Don't call me brother."

"Why? Brother, do you have a sister?"

"Yes, yes."

"Then where is she? In Yuanwu City? I want to meet her..."

"died."

"..."

I don’t know if he is a natural chatterbox, or wants to get information, or has other intentions.

The witch kept asking questions all the way.

Wang Yuan wanted to stop him many times, but he was afraid of his strength and could only restrain himself until he saw Yuanwu City.

"elder brother……

"Shut up!"

"Brother, you are so mean to me!"

The witch was angry and pouted.

"Yuanwu City is just ahead, come down and walk on your own."

Wang Yuan stopped his horse.

"We are still some distance away from Yuanwu City. Why? Aren't you coming with me into the city? What are you afraid of?"

The witch asked doubtfully, a sharp tooth faintly visible under her red lips.

"We are strangers to each other. We just met by chance. It is not appropriate for us to have too much contact. It is appropriate for us to separate here. We should go our own way and not interfere with each other."

Wang Yuan asked the horse to lie down again.

"Brother, you are so cold-blooded! Humph!"

The witch jumped off the horse with an unhappy look on her face.

"Yes, I am a heartless monster."

Wang Yuan took a hat from the horse's back and gave it to her.

"Wearing this can save you a lot of trouble."

"Shh-"

Wang Yuan jumped on his horse.

"Drive! Drive!"

“Lu Sheng! Humph, this princess will remember you!”

The witch gritted her teeth, put on a hat, and walked barefoot towards Yuanwu City step by step.
