Daqin: I, Fusu, can summon the undead

Chapter 5: The Undead Appear
Time flies, time is like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, Fusu had spent more than half a year in the Yinshan Mountains.

During the past six months, Fusu's strength has grown rapidly, from being able to summon at most a hundred skeletons at a time and a maximum of two thousand skeletons a day in the beginning to being able to summon three thousand skeletons at a time and twenty thousand skeletons a day now.

Under Fusu's tireless summoning every day, the number of undead under his command increased day by day, reaching more than 1.5 million.

Among them are a large number of stronger undead such as skeleton cavalry, corpse cavalry, death cavalry, ghost cavalry, corpse wolf cavalry, zombie warriors, ghost killers, evil ghost warriors, death warriors, etc.

With so many undead souls gathering, the air was filled with gloomy and deadly energy, and this place had become an ice field of dozens of miles. It was extremely cold and had become a veritable canyon of the dead. Even the surrounding mountains were covered with thick snow.

Fusu named this place the Valley of the Dead.

In the Yinshan Mountains in autumn, at dusk, a team of Xiongnu cavalry transporting supplies back to the grassland stopped at the foot of Bayan Mountain to rest.

It is now autumn, the harvest season in the Central Plains, and winter is the time when grassland resources are most scarce, so now is the time for the Huns to move south to plunder.

"Ashina Sabi, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

In the resting team, a Hun man with a face full of flesh looked at the man in front of him, his eyes seemed to say, are you kidding me?

"Ashina Shacha, I swear by the Wolf God that I am definitely not seeing things. I have rubbed my eyes and looked several times. There really is a big snowy mountain inside. Maybe there are some treasures deep in that mountain range."

The Hun man who was questioned spoke with certainty and even swore with faith.

"You'd better understand the consequences of deceiving the Wolf God and deceiving me! Otherwise, you will suffer the consequences!"

Seeing Ashina Sabi was so sure, and even swore by the Wolf God, Ashina Shacha said seriously, and called a few people to climb up to the top of Bayan Mountain together.

It took a full half hour for Ashina Shacha and his men to climb to the top of Bayan Mountain, panting.

"Over there, what I said is true!"

Ashina Sabi said, pointing to the depths of the western mountains.

From a distance, you can see several frozen snow-capped mountains over there.

Although it is already autumn, it has not snowed yet, let alone the scene of heavy snow blocking the mountains.

Looking at the top of the snowy mountain over there, Ashina Shacha immediately said to his brother beside him: "Rest here for a day today. Ashina Shalu, take a hundred people to check after you go down the mountain. Be careful."

"Don't worry, big brother!"

--------

Ashina Sharu took orders and led a hundred cavalrymen to wander around the mountains for a long time, sometimes walking on horseback and sometimes riding forward, and finally arrived near the Valley of the Dead near dusk.

When we got here, the temperature dropped significantly, the wind was cold, and icicles could be seen hanging on the rocks everywhere.

"Shalu, our horses won't move forward. There's no point in fighting them!"

A young Xiongnu man said to Ashina Shalu that it was not just his horse, but everyone's horse was like this.

When they entered the canyon, their horses already seemed very uneasy, and it took a while to calm them down before they could get here.

At this time, no matter how much they tried to appease and drive them, the horses would not move forward, and some even almost turned around and ran away, as if there was some ferocious beast ahead.

This situation also caused unrest and tension among the Hun cavalry.

Ashina Shalu looked up at the snow-capped mountain and said to the others, "It's not far. Leave ten people to look after the horses, and the rest of you can go in with me."

Upon hearing this, all the Huns dismounted, holding their weapons and bows and arrows and continued to advance with Ashina Shalu.

After walking for more than half an hour, the group of Huns arrived at the corner of the canyon.

"this!"

After turning the corner and entering another larger canyon, all the Huns stopped and looked ahead in surprise.

The canyon ahead was already a winter scene, with increasing amounts of snow and icicles. The deeper into the canyon, it was completely covered in snow and ice, as if winter had arrived. No, it was as if we had reached the glaciers further north on the grassland.

As the sun was setting, the depths of the canyon became even darker.

"Are we still moving forward?"

A Hun asked Ashinashalu with some trepidation.

This kind of place looked ominous no matter how he looked at it, and coupled with the horse's previous performance, he immediately felt even more uneasy!
"Go forward, this is our mission!" Ashina Shalu said, and took the lead to step forward.

~~
Not long after walking, the Huns completely entered the icy land covered with snow.

"It's so amazing!"

Looking at the surrounding glacier scenery, Ashina Shalu sighed.

It was only the beginning of autumn and it was still hot outside the Yinshan Mountains. Even other places in the Yinshan Mountains did not see any snow or ice. Only here was there a scene of glaciers.

"There must be a treasure in here!"

Looking at the ice and snow around, a Hun walking in front spoke excitedly and reached out to grab a handful of a person-high snow pile next to him.

However, with this grab, a lot of snow on the snow pile slid down, revealing a skeleton dressed in tattered clothes.

Looking at the skeleton in the snow pile, the Hun who was grabbing the snow was suddenly dumbfounded and quickly threw away the snow in his hands.

The others also looked at this naughty guy in silence.

"Uh-huh!"

Suddenly, a white bone knife pierced through the chest of the Hun and came out from his back, and the bright red blood dripped onto the white snow.

The unruly Hun fell down slowly, and the murderer was the skeleton in the snow. At this time, blue flames suddenly ignited in the eyes of the skeleton.

Seeing this, all the Huns were suddenly horrified. They drew their weapons and looked warily at the skeleton that killed their companions.

Ashina Shalu immediately drew his bow and shot an arrow.

"Swish!" An arrow flew through the air and pierced through the skeleton's head. The blue flames that had just ignited in its eyes gradually went out.

"call!"

Seeing this, all the Huns breathed a sigh of relief, but now their backs were covered with sweat from fear.

"Shalu, let's get out of here!"

A Hun said, and the other Huns nodded.

It was scary enough to encounter such a thing. Seeing the glacier canyon full of such snowdrifts made the Xiongnu shiver all over. If there were such things inside, the scene would be unimaginable.

"Retreat, notify the army to come!"

Ashina Shalu pulled the bow, put an arrow on it, stared at the snow piles standing in the depths of the glacier canyon, and slowly retreated with his men, as if afraid that any loud noise would wake up the things inside.

He was sure there must be some incredible treasure inside, but seeing the piles of snow everywhere, no one dared to go in.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a roar sounded in the canyon.

In a snowdrift in front, a skeleton with blue flames burning in its eyes emerged from the snow holding a bone knife.

"call out!"

Almost as soon as the skeleton appeared, Ashina Shalu drew his bow and shot an arrow.

With his superb archery skills, the arrow accurately shot into the skeleton's head and extinguished his soul fire.

However, it was too late. The roar of the skeleton soldier was like a switch, awakening the entire canyon.

"Hoo~~~!"

In a breath, more and more skeleton soldiers broke out of the snow and roared. More skeleton soldiers crawled out of the flat snow, holding bone weapons and roaring.

"run!"

Seeing this, Ashina Shalu was horrified, shouted, and turned and ran away.

The other Huns were also frightened and turned pale, and fled.

The next second, countless roaring skeleton soldiers chased after the fleeing Hun soldiers like a tide.

Dense bone arrows rose into the air like a swarm of locusts, and fell towards the fleeing Xiongnu soldiers. A dozen Xiongnu soldiers running behind fell down in an instant under the dense bone arrows, and each of them had at least fifty bone arrows stuck in their bodies, like hedgehogs.
