Chapter 82: Ge Yan's Tactics

The sun at noon brought a scorching heat, shining on the yellow sand like gold with a little reflection. The reflected light stood on a ghost soldier that could drop rotten flesh at any time. The ghost soldier's body was covered with black air, and his movements were like cold machines. One after another, the ghost soldiers were in the yellow sand, using their bodies to cushion the yellow sand.

The ghost soldiers climbed up the wall made of yellow sand one after another. A man wearing a mask, with his left hand behind his back, held a black folding fan in his right hand. The breeze blew on Ge Qing's mask, and the black robe was like a flag.

There were more than twenty people around Ge Hao, all covered in yellow sand. They held a round shield in their left hand as if facing a powerful enemy. In the middle of the shield was a black and gold word "Shadow". When the sun shone on it, it emitted an aura as if they were about to overwhelm everyone and would not retreat.

Under the wall formed by yellow sand, a woman with black hair and twin ponytails was holding a chain in her hand, looking up at the sky, as if waiting for something good. She dodged to block the wind, and her black robe was blown by the wind, but it did not affect Ge Yan's goddess-like figure at all.

Twenty people behind Ge Yan were covered in flowing yellow sand, holding a spear in both hands. Five people were divided into four rows, with five people standing in each row like statues. A breeze blew the yellow sand under their feet and passed by them gently, as if it was succumbed to their momentum.

The breeze blew on a swordsman, gently fanning his black robe. Goffin stroked his sword with his left hand. There was a tree on the hilt, and two green snakes were entwined on the hilt. The sword was green like jade, and there was a faint white mist on both sides of the sword. A ray of sunlight shone on the tip of the sword, focusing a spot of light that made people unable to open their eyes.

Behind Goffin stood a spear as black as ink in his right hand, with some yellow sand on the outer layer of bones that seemed to be hugging his body. At first glance, it seemed that he had naturally golden skin, and under the sunlight, he looked like a golden warrior.

Behind the golden warrior stood a hundred black-robed skeletons in the yellow sand, holding spears in their hands, their black robes fluttering in the breeze. In the crowd, a masked man held a tiger-patterned knife in his left hand, with a black cloth wrapped around the handle, and a faint black aura coming out of it.

Ge Qing's eyes were looking forward like an eagle, and the dark mask could not block the dark air coming out of his eyes. The black robe on his body kept fluttering, and from a distance, he looked like a mysterious assassin. Ge Qing seemed to be holding a bamboo slip in his right hand, and the bamboo slip showed countless traces of time.

On the left side of Ge Qing stood a man with silver-white hair and purple flames in his eyes. There was a hint of irritability under his sword-like eyebrows. He was wearing green linen clothes and holding a faintly transparent sword in his right hand. It was impossible to tell what shape it was.

Long Yu's black robe was blown by the breeze, just like the restless expectation in his heart. Long Yu was waiting, waiting for a positive side that could prove that he was not afraid of death. Long Yu looked up at the 100 people standing guard on the rock. They were in groups of two, responsible for watching the front and back and supporting each other.

"Get ready," this voice reached Long Yu's ears, and Long Yu was like a chicken blood. On the yellow sand, a ghost soldier's head climbed up the sand wall, and the people around Ge Hao stabbed the ghost soldier's head with a spear, and it turned into white powder in an instant. Long Yu was a little excited in his heart, and also had a determination to fight a big battle.

A group of ghost soldiers climbed up, followed by another and another, and soon a ghost soldier jumped off the yellow sand wall. However, before he landed on the ground, he was stabbed into white powder by the people behind Ge Yan. As one ghost soldier jumped down, more ghost soldiers followed.

Long Yu couldn't hold back the sword in his hand, and he had an urge to run to the front. The sun in the sky had just passed noon. Finally, a group of ghost soldiers ran in front of Gofen. The ghost soldiers were like a flood breaking through the embankment, and countless ghost soldiers fell.

The ghost soldiers rushed to Goffin like a flood, and Long Yu looked at them curiously, wondering why they were not rushing towards him at the risk of their lives.

Long Yu turned around and glanced at Ge Qing beside him. Ge Qing didn't notice that Long Yu was looking at her. "Senior, why are they rushing towards us?" Ge Qing was stunned for a moment and looked at Long Yu's feet. "In the daytime, you are the only one with a shadow. You are like a piece of meat, so they will rush towards you. This is the order they received."

Long Yu was stunned for a moment. When did he become the target of these ghost soldiers? Long Yu shook his head helplessly. It seemed that two hours had passed when Long Yu looked at the sky. The sun in the sky was approaching dusk.

Long Yu was more helpless. The ghost soldiers in front of him still did not rush to him. They were all intercepted by Gofen. Long Yu took two steps. Gofen held Long Yu's body and shook his head at Long Yu. "Wang, you still have to wait when you are on the stage."

Long Yu didn't know when he had to wait, whether it was dawn or the next dusk, and he already felt restless. Long Yu glanced at Ge Qing, shook his head, and walked back to his seat. A dark shadow fell on the rock beside Ge Yan and seemed to say something.

Ge Yan glanced at Long Yu and nodded to the shadow. A shadow came to Long Yu and knelt on one knee in front of Ge Qing. "Report, the ghost general has not appeared yet. Prepare to retreat into the rocks and wait until dawn to fight again."

Long Yu looked at Ge Qing beside him with a confused look. "Why retreat? Can't we stop the ghost soldiers?" The man kneeling in front of Ge Qing waved his hand, turned around and looked at Long Yu, "King, I know you want to fight, but it's dark, and the strength of these ghost soldiers has become ten times stronger. We can't stop the ghost generals from appearing." Long Yu looked in front of him with reluctance in his heart, and threw his left hand on his thigh, "Forget it, we'll fight again tomorrow."

Ge Qing grabbed Long Yu's arm and jumped up, trying to stand on the rock. He looked at the densely packed ghost soldiers with ears under his feet, looking for something like headless flies. People kept jumping on the rocks around him.

Long Yu waited for a long time. Ge Yan walked to Long Yu with a trace of fatigue, holding a pot of wine in his hand and threw it to Long Yu. Ge Yan sat next to Long Yu and took the lead to look at the sky. "Wang, do you believe in the past and present lives that Buddha said?"

Long Yu took a sip of wine. He didn't know whether Ge Yan's wine was strong or Long Yu just couldn't drink. Long Yu's face flushed as he looked at Ge Yan beside him. "I don't know what my past life was, and I don't know what my future life will be."

Ge Yan took off the mask with her right hand. There was a purple lotus between her eyebrows. Her long black hair was blown by the wind on her face. Ge Yan lay flat on the rock with her hands on her chest. Long Yu took a look at Ge Yan. She looked like a beautiful fairy, with a white baby face and big eyes.

"King, do you have a dream?" When asked by Ge Yan, Long Yu looked up at the sky and took a sip of the wine in his hand. "Dream, I don't seek immortality, nor do I seek fame in the world. When I was first driven down the mountain, my dream was to be a salted fish. Later, something happened and I wanted to become stronger. Until something happened between Zong Ling and me in the black fog space, I wanted to take Zong Ling back to the blue star he mentioned."

Long Yu took a sip of wine and felt that Ge Yan beside him looked very much like Jian Chen. He didn't know if it was Long Yu's illusion or if he had drunk the wine. "I don't know what other dreams I can have. Maybe after a while, I will forget that I wanted to be a salted fish."

Ge Yan sat behind Long Yu, holding his hands on his thighs, looking up at the stars in the sky, "Yes, dreams are too easy to be changed by things that happen. We are just humans, not as good as some ferocious beasts. Who knows what our dreams are."

Long Yu handed the wine to Ge Yan. Long Yu stood on the rock. There was no one around. Long Yu turned around and glanced at Ge Yan. "These people are all controlled by you. You are not as controlled as you seem."

Ge Yan looked at Long Yu with a smile and stood beside him. "Actually, you will know everything after you get out. You just need to know that we can definitely get out and you can rescue your friends. As for the process, it's just what we go through next."

Long Yu had a good impression of Ge Yan. He didn't know why, but he had a feeling of trust. Just like a patriarch, Long Yu sat next to Ge Yan. "Do you know where the Azure Star is? I want to know how to get there. I'm curious about what's there."

Ge Yan told Long Yu every detail of the Blue Star all night. From what Ge Yan said, there are oceans and flying dragons there, and most importantly, there has been no invasion by foreign races there, and the people living on the Blue Star are a group of wise people.

Long Yu listened to the story for a whole night, and he had a dignified liking for Ge Yan. The sky was filled with a confused white mist, and he had a yearning for the blue sky. Long Yu really wanted to go out right now and walk on the ancient road of the void to find the peaceful blue planet.

Ge Yan stretched and stood beside Long Yu, wearing the mask of Ying on his right hand. "Wang, they are awake. Remember not to get close to these people at night. They are not our friends." Long Yu turned around and glanced at Ge Yan in front of him, nodded and watched Ge Yan disappear.

Long Yu walked in front of Ge Qing and sat cross-legged on the ground. Ge Qing seemed to wake up from his sleep and patted Long Yu's shoulder. "King, wake up, we are ready to fight." Long Yu opened his eyes with a smile on his face.

His eyes were blazing with purple flames, and he nodded to Ge Qing. Everyone around him stood up. For some reason, he had always had a resistance to Ge Qing in front of him. Long Yu tried to shake his head to control himself. Ge Hao appeared in front of Long Yu, and the folding fan in his hand seemed to have never been opened before.

Long Yu bowed to Ge Hao in front of him. As for Ge Hao's character, Long Yu still felt that Ge Hao was a man who valued friendship and loyalty. "Senior, when can we set off?" Ge Hao patted Long Yu's shoulder, turned around and looked at the sky in front of him, "When a ray of sunlight appears in the sky, it will be time for our next move."
