Chapter 90: Building an Army

~8 min read 1,453 words

The sky gradually darkened, and time passed in the blink of an eye.

It seemed that with winter approaching, the daytime was also becoming shorter and shorter.

However, this didn't hinder Lin Feng. At this time, he was on the mountain behind the graveyard, making a large number of heavy-armored Paper Men out of mulberry paper.

"Dong dong dong."

On a dark and windy night, the sound of cutting down trees kept coming from the mountain behind the graveyard.

However, for outsiders, such sounds were more like some kind of terrifying curse; not to mention getting close to look, even hearing it in their ears made their scalps tingle.

Especially since gravediggers had many taboos at night, and after nightfall, each one wished they could just sleep to death.

Of course, it wasn't that there were no people with enough guts, such as Bai Yuanlong, who used the pseudonym Yan Guard, and his two subordinates.

"My Lord, this movement is not small. Could something have happened?"

In the room, an oil lamp emitted a dim yellow light. This oil lamp was the ghost oil lamp that Lin Feng had once obtained, which possessed a certain ability to detect the approach of eeriness.

"Nothing, I'm afraid there is no safer place in Luohe City than here."

Bai Yuanlong, who knew some inside information, shook his head directly. In fact, he had noticed last night that the wooden men originally patrolling the periphery of the graveyard had turned into a group of heavy-armored soldiers he had never seen before.

Only that senior could do such a thing quietly. In his view, it must be because that senior's strength had become stronger.

"Hoo~ Ten Zhiren Colonels, I can't continue to increase them!"

On the mountain behind, Lin Feng had made all ten of those large Ghosts into Zhiren Colonels and had also changed their weapons to sturdier, stronger long spears.

But that was all he could do. He now had one large Ghost and two small Ghosts left, but these had to be kept as offerings for the Xi Gui.

"Swish swish!"

The ten Zhiren Colonels stood before Lin Feng, and inexplicable eerie power faintly spread between them, but it was not obvious under the condition of being released.

"Ten Zhiren Colonels, just right to organize into ten teams, each Zhiren Colonel leading one thousand heavy-armored Paper Men as a battalion, ten battalions of ten thousand people just right to form an army!"

While Lin Feng was making these ten Zhiren Colonels, other heavy-armored Paper Men, as well as the Tou Gui, Puppet Ghost, and Thousand-Faced Paper Ghost, were also continuously making more heavy-armored Paper Men.

A large number of trees were directly made into wooden men, then put on Paper Men, and then stained with the Tanshi Gui's ink and connected together by the Tou Gui's blood threads.

The mulberry paper he brought back during the day was more than ten thousand sheets, so now it was directly mass production.

Hundreds and thousands of heavy-armored Paper Men were batch-produced, to the point that the trees on the other side of the mountain were almost cut down.

Because the noise made by chopping trees was not small, it made the surrounding gravediggers terrified.

Lin Feng naturally didn't know about these situations, but he was increasingly satisfied with the hundreds and thousands of heavy-armored Paper Men.

Each heavy-armored Zhiren had the strength of a Grandmaster, while the Zhiren Colonels' strength was even stronger.

Although the Zhiren Colonels had not yet reached the level of a True Human, they possessed the essence of eeriness and could exert very strong effects.

Especially when the Zhiren Colonels and the heavy-armored Paper Men acted together to charge, he believed that very few things in this world could stop them.

"Ten thousand Paper Men can barely be considered a scale, but it's not enough. Next, I should also capture a Fierce Ghost to see if I can create a Zhiren General!"

Shadows flickered, and Lin Feng took all the Paper Men before him into the Ghost Domain; he would release them directly when needed.

"But before that, it's more important to strengthen my own strength!"

After finishing this matter, Lin Feng immediately came to the Xi Gui. The Fierce Ghost offered last time had been absorbed by the Xi Gui after these few days.

Thus, a large Ghost once again became the offering Lin Feng used to offer to the Xi Gui. Lin Feng felt the remaining two small Ghosts were really useless, so he simply let the Tanshi Gui eat them.

In this way, Lin Feng became a pauper again, not even having a single Ghost left in his hand.

"The wooden men sent out to find medicinal herbs didn't have much harvest; they only barely found some materials. I didn't expect these things to be really hard to find."

Lighting five sticks of incense and offering them to every Ghost except the Tanshi Gui, the consumption of Ghost-Raising Incense was also increasing rapidly as he had more and more Ghosts in his hand.

"If the harvest is still not big in a few days, just go and rob the Incense Temple's foothold!"

Because he knew the background of the Incense Temple, Lin Feng originally had such a plan, and now it had become even stronger.

After the Ghosts beside him finished absorbing the incense, Lin Feng prepared to leave here and go to a further place to use the Soul-Guiding Incense to catch Ghosts.

However, just at this moment, the wooden men he placed on Qianyuan Mountain in Xinglong Ling had a reaction again.

This made Lin Feng happy. At this time, it was clearly only Li Yanbing who had returned, and she must have found the items Lin Feng urgently needed now!

"Just in time!"

Saying this, Lin Feng immediately began to control that wooden man to crawl out of the soil on the top of the mountain.

"Senior Great Sage Equaling Heaven, this junior has found some more things you need recently!"

As soon as the Qianyuan Mountain wooden man stood up, Li Yanbing's voice came over.

"Click, click, click."

The wooden man nodded, but there was no extra expression.

"This is twenty shi of dragon vein grave soil, a thousand-year-old God-Offering Stele, and two hundred sticks of Ghost-Raising Incense. This Ghost-Raising Incense might be a bit too much. If the senior doesn't need it, this junior can take it back."

Li Yanbing noticed the wooden man's attitude and felt quite helpless in her heart, but she still took out all the items she had collected.

This time, the things she took out were far from the last time, but even so, this could be considered quite efficient.

"Click, click, click."

The wooden man shook his head and rejected her proposal. Now Lin Feng's Ghost-Raising Incense was being used less and less; how could he let the things in front of him go!

"Senior, recently the rebellion in Liuzhou has been very loud, breaking more than a dozen cities in two days, and even the Liuzhou Prefecture City is not safe."

"And the imperial court is arguing endlessly about who to send to suppress the rebellion, and the surrounding prefectures and counties are also unable to help because of natural and man-made disasters. This junior is afraid that it won't be long before the scourge of war sweeps to Jiangzhou. At that time, the entire Jiangzhou will probably be trapped in the flames of war..."

Seeing that the wooden man wanted these things, Li Yanbing's somewhat uneasy heart finally relaxed a bit.

Subsequently, she deliberated and began to tell Lin Feng about the matter of Liuzhou raising a flag to rebel this time, and stated the pros and cons.

"Senior, this disaster is not a ghost disaster, but a scourge of war, different from the past."

"So this junior implores the senior to provide some help, so that this junior can protect the entire Luohe City from the scourge of war, and let Jiangzhou be spared from this disaster."

Li Yanbing knew the situation in the capital clearly through the Ghost Suppression Division's news channels, so after deep thinking, she took this opportunity to try to persuade this Supreme Human senior before her.

According to her idea, since the other party used Xinglong Ling as a Daoist field and placed his disciple outside Luohe City, he shouldn't want the scourge of war to turn this place into a dead land.

"Click, click, click."

But to her disappointment, after listening to her, the wooden man shook his head not long after. It seemed that the other party had no interest in such things at all. ===== CHAPTER 91 =====
