Traveling Becomes the Strongest

Traveling Becomes the Strongest
Ch. 67 ~ Jiangshi Village


"Do you remember the incident in Jiangshi Village, ten years ago?"


General Mui Wu tried to recall the events of a few years ago in Jiangshi village.


A few years ago, about ten years ago. General Mui Wu gets a task from the King of the Wind kingdom to solve the problem in Jiangshi village. Where the Village is located in the Wind kingdom, directly adjacent to the Fire Kingdom.


It can be said, this village is located in two royal regions at once.


Without refusing General Mui Wu accepted the task. Although he had heard from some rumors circulating that the village is famous for its strangeness. Where humans eat their fellow humans.


Even so, no word of the wind was ignored. Gathering some royal troops, General Mui Wu's entourage departed in the afternoon. About three days of travel, they had reached Jiangshi village.


There was no sign of life in it. Only rickety buildings are filled with cobwebs. Also the fog spread everywhere, making visibility blocked.


With a high level of vigilance, they walked into the village. While walking, they did not meet anyone there.


"Raw!"


From a distance, there was a sound like an animal. But after a closer look, there is no animal that sounds like that.


The silhouette of a person they could see from a distance. The person moved closer and closer towards General Mui Wu's entourage. Moments later, people appeared one by one from behind the fog behind the figure that was walking towards them.


Their steps are like a lackluster person, who has not eaten for several months. It was clearly visible from the head that lowered, the path slowly, as well as the hands that hung in front.


"What's wrong with those people?" ask one of the troops from General Mui Wu's entourage.


"Come away!"


"Raw!"


Back to that sound. But this time the voice sounded bigger and louder. It was then that General Mui Wu realized, as long as the voice came from those people.


Shortly after, a rumbling sound filled the air. All those people who were walking limp were calling out for the word "Rawwr!" simultaneously.


With heavy footsteps, everyone was racing towards General Mui Wu's entourage.


It was a bit strange for them to see those starving people running towards General Mui Wu's entourage.


General Mui Wu and his own entourage did not have time to take a stance. How not, the running pace of these people is too fast. Jump and pounce on the soldiers of General Mui Wu's entourage. One soldier was mobbed by several men who bit them.


General Mui Wu who saw one by one his soldiers being attacked by strange people, immediately drew his sword. Moving towards the soldier closest to him then helping to release those people from him.


General Mui Wu's return was shown with unexpected things. The soldier he managed to help was suddenly filled with veins all over his body. His pupils had now turned completely white. The soldier was like a possessed person, and without warning directly attacked General Mui Wu.


"Damn! What's going on?" General Mui Wu was slightly surprised.


He tried to get away from the soldier. It took some time for the man to kill the soldier who attacked him.


Then he got up and looked around. It seems like everyone has turned out to be weird. Only five people including General Mui Wu did not turn out to be strange.


The five men moved backwards. Together until they form a circle. While the freaks, or rather the zombies were walking slowly, surrounded them with both arms raised in front of the chest.


"General, you leave this place. It's very dangerous here, it's wrong you can be part of them." One of the soldiers said to General Mui Wu.


"Are you guys crazy? How could I leave you guys in such a crucial moment!" General Mui Wu felt a little annoyed at their remarks.


"General... Our lives are not so precious, but not with General Mui Wu! If you also die this time, it will have an impact on the work of the Wind in the future!"


Just as he considered, General Mui Wu finally agreed to their words. With a doubtful mind, he left behind four soldiers who were now sacrificing their lives for his safety.


A moment of running, General Mui Wu almost left Jiangshi village. Right at the gate, he could see the figure of someone who was also running about to leave the place.


Getting closer, he could see that the person was the general Wan Li. A General from the Fire kingdom who happened to also get the task of clearing up the matter in that place.


Just like him, Wan Li's army general had also been killed, leaving himself alone.


The two talked for a moment. Before finally separating.


***


"Owh, so you're General Wan Li?! Who used to be a famous general in his time, but instead became a royal fugitive?" General Mui Wu said with a full intonation of innuendo contained within.


Wan Li did not respond to the man's remarks.


"What a shame, this last meeting of ours. We have to be enemies."


"Wait on! If I hadn't guessed wrong, you should have become a fugitive of the Fire Kingdom, right? ... Did you come here to help us?"


Hearing that Wan Li put up a wide grin.


"Tch, in your Dream!"


Wan Li without too much ado instantly darted, with a sword ready to cut the opponent's neck.


Their fight was pretty much a draw a while. In a short period of time, there had been a hundred slashes that both of them had released.


General Mui Wu took some distance. The look on his face changed even more when he found out that Wan Li's cultivation was several levels above him.


He himself was currently at the first stage Earth level. Wan Li's cultivation was currently at the Third Stage Earth Rank. Plus the high-level technique Wan Li had, leaving General Mui Wu with no chance of defeating the man.


"I can't keep serving it . There is, my life will float later." Inner General Mui Wu.


He took something from behind his shirt, then threw it towards Wan Li. White dust was flying everywhere. Forcing Wan Li to cover his gaze from the dust.


"Don't you think you can run away from me, Mui Wu."


Using high speed, Wan Li then darted, chasing after General Mui Wu.


Amidst the large number of people fighting, Wan Li stepped in pursuit of General Mui Wu. But the problem was, the soldiers in the two camps who exchanged weapons were too blocking his way. Making Wan Li even more difficult in pursuing them.


"Damn! If it keeps this up, it's possible that he managed to escape."


Wan Li then decided to jump over each soldier's head.
