Chapter 701: Fierce Battle Drinking Horse Ditch (4)
Kan Hu felt that the monster's behavior was a little strange, and he only knew that the fierce generals who fought were aware of the abnormality, which meant that this matter might be a conspiracy, a big conspiracy.
That's really it.
On the hill at the corner of the west and north corners, a tall tree, a strange thing the size of a human head attached to the treetops, and there lay a man lying under the tree, who was unconscious.
And the monster beasts that died in the west exuded a large amount of death qi, and were gathering towards this strange thing in a form that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and after the collapse of those monsters in the north, a large amount of evil energy was also generated, and they also gathered there, and finally they were all absorbed by this strange thing, it rotated rapidly, and it shrank rapidly, and finally it was only the size of a fist, but it was condensed like a black bead, just a little bigger.
The effect is that the temperature drops around you, making it feel like it's a cold night.
The soldiers of the Qin army, who were relatively low in cultivation, felt drowsy and sluggish.
Kan Hu was also affected.
"Wake up. ”
Kan Hu burst into a shout, and he who was a divine master cultivated, this sound was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and the people on his side shivered and regained their clarity.
Here, Kan Hu shouted loudly to wake up the mentally affected people, but there was a crisis in the west.
People pay attention to the large demon beasts rushing in, but ignore the small demon beasts below.
Like a foot-long pit viper, gopher, man-eating ant, etc., quietly emerged from those dead monsters, approaching the crowd unnoticed, and the first to notice the anomaly was the wolf hunter soldiers.
"Watch your step. ”
But it's a little late.
The soldiers in the front row of the Qin army were attacked by pit vipers and screamed, and then jumped up and fell and rolled, looking poisoned, while those gophers, beetles, man-eating ants, etc., avoided the pit vipers and marched into depth.
There was an abnormality in the front row, and the people in the back were surprised before they could react, and they were attacked by these little guys, these little things bit through the leather armor and drilled into people to gnaw and bite people, although they did not bite and poison like a pit viper and died, but it also made the people who were tightly wrapped very uncomfortable, but they couldn't quickly take off their armor to solve the problem, so they jumped around and scratched with their hands, and the formation was completely messed up.
Because there are large crossbows and shield players in front, this chaos will go terribly wrong, and a large mutated monster bee chrysalis will enter, and a disaster will inevitably occur.
The west was broken by demon beasts, and the Qin army suffered a large number of casualties, and General Cheng and Xiao Jing were shocked.
They are not afraid to deal with those large demon beast wolf hunters, but those dense pit vipers on the ground make them helpless, and they are extremely threatening.
Zuo Xuan, who was standing on the watchtower, saw it and knew that the situation was serious, and the soldiers were fearless in charging into battle, for fear of encountering evil events, such as encountering a tide of demon beasts, evil spirits and demon spirits, and the powerful Qin army's encounter was also quite a headache, and on the Xianyue Continent, there are many places where demon beasts and evil spirits haunt the place, and the more rare the interpersonal situation, it is the place where these demon beasts and evil spirits gather, even if the great monk enters by mistake, it is also a life of nine deaths.
"Lord Zhang, how is this good?"
"Order, abandon the first line of defense, retreat three hundred paces, sprinkle cooking oil to arrange a line of fire, and transfer strong bows and crossbows from the south to support the west. ”
Zhang Xian didn't have any good strategy, after all, this was not a fight with people, and he had to take a shrinking defense, using the methods commonly used by the Qin army, burning a line of fire with cooking oil to block those small demon beasts, most of the crossbow archers in the west were poisoned and seriously injured, I am afraid that it would be difficult to rescue them, and the crossbow was crawling with pit vipers and man-eating ants, etc., no one dared to go over and pull it back, and only abandoned it in pain, so I had to mobilize people from the south to come and support.
Zuo Xuan quickly asked the herald to give the order, fortunately, this camp is not too big, there are also bonfires lit in the camp, lanterns and torches are lit, ordinary soldiers walk without hindrance, the herald gives orders very quickly, the military quality of the Qin army is very high, and soon Zuo Xuan's orders can be implemented.
At the cost of the loss of thousands of men by the Qin army, the second line of defense was arranged.
The firing line ignited by the cooking oil stopped the demon beasts, and the large demon beasts roared and wandered in the face of the raging fire, but they did not move forward.
Just as they hesitated, reinforcements from the south arrived.
The Qin army's strong bow and hard crossbow were very strong, of course, in the case of comparison with different Xia armies.
After the reinforcements arrived, they quickly opened their bows and released arrows, and the arrows rained down on the demon beasts that entered the camp, and the large demon beasts were killed by arrows, but the small demon beasts on the ground did little damage, but they were also temporarily blocked, and those flying in the sky were threatened, and they did not dare to come down.
The spirit beast that was originally roaring in the woods to urge the attack also stopped urging for the time being.
"Command, throw oil cans outward, attack with fire. ”
Sensing that the wind was very small, Zhang Xian had the confidence to suggest to Zuo Xuan that he use the method of fire attack to drive the demon beast out of the camp.
Zuo Xuan quickly adopted it and passed the order.
The west finally withstood the attack of the demon beasts, and there was a tendency to drive the demon beasts out of the camp.
But the serious thing, Zuo Xuan and the others didn't find out, it was the weird thing on the tree in the northwest corner, the thing was getting smaller and smaller, becoming the size of an egg, but it was getting more and more solid.
The bead went from the size of a human head with a grayish-black sheen to the size of an egg, black as if it didn't exist in the dark night.
It devoured a large amount of dead qi and evil energy, and threw out a kind of cold impurity energy, which had a great negative impact on the surrounding people, animals and plants.
But this is not important now, what matters is that it has evolved.
It evolved from a monster called a demonic spirit.
Demon spirits like to not decompose the corpses of powerful people, after a certain period of fusion, if it is not for the encounter of powerful human monks, he blends into the crowd, it is really difficult to distinguish, some demon spirits can achieve their goals, they will enjoy human life in a low-key manner, but most of the demon spirits can't bear to be lonely, they will continue to devour the essence of people, intending to evolve again, become a demon god, to that level, they dare to be on an equal footing with human powers, but that is not easy.
The fusion of demon spirits and corpses is the best, and the only one who knows is Luo Zhu's puppet Tian controlled with the spirit control card.
There were multiple coincidences that time, plus the demon spirit was too weak.
And now this demon spirit is much stronger than that one, because this is obviously deliberately designed by someone, so that it swallows too much dead air, and too many demons destroy the evil energy generated, and it is forced to be born into the strongest demon spirit.
The unconscious human monk under the tree was the vehicle for him.
But it doesn't want the carrier now, because it thinks he's too weak.
It took a fancy to a powerful demon who had been sent to the door.
The big demon who sent it to the door was Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng is patrolling here, and he always feels that there is 、。。。。。。。 here :::。
