Volume 1 Darkness Rising Chapter 5 Caught in the Jedi
After Taizhang's explanation, Lianghu not only did not blame Taizhang for not revealing his true identity when he was in the barracks, but praised him for his cunning.
When Angelina heard that Taizhang was the talisman master of the Twin Sacred Mountain Monastery, she frowned slightly, walked towards Taizhang, crossed her hands to her chest, and bowed her head slightly, "Hello senior brother, I'm Angelina from the Twin Sacred Mountain Seminary." β
Taizhang also saluted Angelina with one hand and said with a smile, "Angelina, I know you, your sister Angelina is a celebrity in our monastery. β
As they spoke, Zhou Chang and the fat man also walked over, but they were only recruits, and they were stopped by Lianghu's servants ten steps away.
The fat man stopped, pouted at Taizhang in the distance and scolded: "Damn, I thought this kid was a stone man, but I didn't expect to be crazy when I saw a beautiful and innocent girl." Fortunately, he didn't see my beautiful and innocent Xiaowei, otherwise where would Lao Tzu have robbed this tender little white face. β
Zhou Chang saw the fat man's sourness, so he could only smile bitterly, thinking that no matter his family background, spells, or appearance, he couldn't compare with others, so he had to compare with others, wasn't this his own guilt?
Zhou Chang ignored the fat man's complaints and bumped him on the shoulder, "The demon clan can't only have these four, now it may just be a refreshing mustard dun eaten by a rich family, which is used for appetizers, and the big meal hasn't been served yet." I think only Young Master Taizhang is more powerful here, so we'd better follow him, otherwise ......"
After a pause, he glanced at the bloody corpse hanging on the tree, and shuddered, "Otherwise, we may be the same as a few big brothers on the tree." β
Although the fat man is not used to looking at Taizhang, he always thinks that this kid is completely deliberately handsome in front of him, which is tantamount to cutting meat in the hearts of fat people, which is unforgivable. But who says they can't spell?
The fat man nodded, and suddenly said, "If this kid Taizhang is dead and we are still alive, the old man of his family will definitely make trouble for us if he has been an official in the royal capital, so we should indeed follow him secretly to protect him." β
Zhou Chang secretly laughed at the fat man and Young Master Taizhang, but since the fat man agreed, Zhou Chang didn't have the heart to say anything.
Lianghu ordered the team to be repaired on the spot, and he was not idle, and went to discuss the next move with Taizhang and Angelina.
Angelina meant that there would be more dangers ahead, and that their army had lost their morale and should be withdrawn to the barracks to recuperate and come back later.
Judging from the scene just now, it may indeed be very dangerous to rush forward to the army. However, Lianghu automatically ignored Angelina's opinion, and for this divine mage who couldn't see any effect, Lianghu basically didn't have any hope, and let her discuss it together, just out of respect for the Shuangshengshan Seminary.
Lianghu touched his beard and asked, "Young Master Taizhang, what is your opinion?"
Taizhang frowned, according to the few demons he killed, the demon level here is not too high, with his strength, plus the help of Angelina and the army, it should not be difficult to kill the demons on the mountain. So, seeing this, he continued his march to the top of the mountain.
Angelina seemed to be very resistant to continue advancing, and after Taizhang said that she wanted to continue the march, she said again, "No, even if you can really destroy the demon clan in Xishan, there will be a lot of deaths, or wait for the next time, I ask the mentor to send more god mages and ancient language masters to subdue the demon clan here." β
Hearing Angelina say this, Lianghu was quite moved, after all, the road ahead was full of unknown dangers, and with the help of powerful divine mages and ancient language masters, he could solve the big trouble without spending a single soldier.
Seeing that Lianghu was indecisive, Taizhang seemed to find Angelina's words very attractive, glanced at Angelina, and said coldly: "Your mentor Yalesa is peace-loving, how could he let you bring the divine mages and ancient linguists of the Twin Holy Mountains here." Besides, I see that you have the ability to kill a demon near you just now, and you haven't done it for a long time. I've also heard from your sister that you're a loyal follower of your mentor Aresa. How can you, a person who advocates peace and tranquility, kill demons. Isn't this a deception to the city lord?"
Angelina was robbed of white by Taizhang for a while, and her beautiful face was blue and white for a while, which was very ugly, "Senior Brother Taizhang misunderstood my words, I didn't say killing demons, I just said to subdue them." β
After listening to the conversation between the two of them, Lianghu knew that he had been tricked by Angelina, and he was angry and angry. He finally wrote a letter to Shuangsheng Mountain to ask for the promise of the Dao Emperor and the Pope to send people to help, this kind of opportunity was missed, and it was impossible for him to lose his turn in this small city of the Yanxia Country in two or three years.
However, now he also regretted it, he knew that the seminary of the Twin Holy Mountains had sent Angelina, who was useless, so it was better to ask the Pope directly to write a letter to the tutor of the seminary in Rubi City, so that they could help him.
Due to his distrust of Angelina, Lianghu still chose Taizhang's opinion, although his life may be in danger, but if he doesn't go, he will be abandoned by the people of Luxury City, so he has to fight again.
After making up their minds, the team marched to the top of the West Mountain again.
The soldiers who had been recruited from all the villages were now like frightened birds, hoping that the city lord would let them go down the mountain, and they would never come to this western mountain again in their lives.
When they heard the order from the castle lord to continue advancing, some people couldn't accept the truth and fainted on the spot.
When some of the clever soldiers saw the soldiers who had fainted, they were so inspired that they lay down on the ground and pretended to faint in fright.
For a moment, the hordes of soldiers wilted like frosted leaves.
Of course, the fat man and Zhou Chang were among them, and the two of them turned their backs to the sky, burying their heads in the ground, and they couldn't move like stones.
The Pope and Dao Emperor of the Twin Holy Mountains are both supreme beings, judging from the fact that Lianghu can move them, he knows that he is not a stupid person, and he can see the Tao of this group of recruits at a glance, sneered in his heart, and ordered his subordinates, "Give the city lord a whip one by one until they wake up." β
The fat man and Zhou Chang were very close to Lianghu, and both of them listened to his words, and as soon as the words fell, the two of them took the lead in getting up. While no one was paying attention, he hid among the soldiers who did not pretend to be unconscious.
Soon, under the whipping, both the real and the fake faint people cried and crawled up.
After half an hour's repair, the team headed to the top of the mountain.
In the evening, the team finally reached the top of the mountain, and the top of the mountain was in sight, and many buildings resembling human houses could be seen on the top of the mountain.
These buildings are all large black domes with blood-red walls. Strangely, none of these buildings have doors or windows.
Lianghu was also suspicious, so he asked Tai Zhang, who was standing beside him, "The demon lives in this kind of house without doors and windows?"
Ever since he saw a group of buildings that looked like human houses, Taizhang's face began to become ugly, and when he heard Lianghu ask, he muttered for a moment, "It should be the place where the Banshee of the Crypt - Urged, I didn't expect that there would be her tribe here." β
"What kind of demon is the Banshee of the Crypt?" Lianghu didn't understand, and couldn't help but ask Taizhang again.
"The Banshee of the Crypt - Urged, she is the queen of all the creatures of the Crypt, she is humanoid on the upper body, serpentine on the lower body, has sixteen legs, and likes to eat the flesh of the living. Taizhang looked at the top of the mountain and said with a solemn expression.
When Lianghu heard Taizhang say this, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, "My good man, no wonder the people in Xishan are missing, it turns out that there is such a man-eating monster hidden here." β
"You'd better hope that this is only the dwelling place of the Γgerd clan, and if Γgerd were here, with the power of our people, I am afraid that none of us will leave alive. Taizhang's eyebrows were already furrowed, "Now we must hurry down the mountain." Otherwise, I'm afraid no one will survive tonight. β
Lianghu also panicked when he heard what Taizhang said so seriously.
At this moment, the cry of a snow eagle suddenly came from the sky, Angelina stretched out her right hand on her forehead and looked at the sky, and suddenly her face changed, "It's not good, Xiaoxue found that a large number of demons are approaching us." β
Before the words fell, there was a sudden 'smack' sound from the ground where they were, accompanied by a slight tremor of the earth.
"Not good, be careful underground. Taizhang said as he took out dozens of rune papers from the left and right pockets.
There are many mountain wolves in the luxury mountain, Zhou Chang will go up the mountain to chop firewood, hunting will carefully observe the surroundings, so as to develop a habit of observing the surrounding environment, and find the trembling earth, he feels bad, and subconsciously looks at Taizhang.
Zhou Chang saw Taizhang take out a large handful of rune paper from his arms, and remembered that in the forest halfway up the mountainside, Taizhang took out four rune papers, there were just four demons, and now he took out so many rune papers, how many demons are there?
Thinking of this, Zhou Chang's scalp was numb, he pulled the fat man's sleeve, and said in a trembling voice, "Fatty, something big is going to happen, something big is going to happen." β
The fat man didn't have Zhou Chang's alertness, he still thought that he might camp on the top of the mountain at night, and he didn't bring any dried meat from home up the mountain, and the dry food he sent was very unpalatable. I thought that when I would set up camp, I would catch a pheasant and beat my teeth.
Suddenly being pulled by Zhou Chang like this, the fat man came back to his senses and asked Zhou Chang in a low voice, "What are you pulling me for?"
Zhou Chang saw that the fat man was still confused at this time, and couldn't help but hurriedly say: "Look at Young Master Taizhang's hands." β
"What are you doing with this kid's hands?" the fat man muttered and looked at Taizhang's hand, and didn't care when he saw the large amount of rune paper in Taizhang's hand, "Isn't it just a few rune papers......
As soon as he said this, the fat man suddenly thought of something, and shouted, "There are a lot of monsters." β
As soon as the words fell, the ground suddenly cracked through countless cracks, making a crisp 'click' sound, like the sound of breaking dry branches.
First there was the fat man's exclamation of 'there are so many monsters', and then there were countless cracks in the ground, and it was harder to believe that you told these soldiers that there were no monsters than when you told them that the sun was actually square.
The soldiers, to be precise, the mountain people, turned pale with fright, and looked at the winding and cracked ground, and did not know where to put their feet. Many people cried out loud, crying and calling the names of their parents, and some fell to their knees crying and begging for God's protection.
At this moment, there was a loud 'boom' from the crack underground, and a behemoth with two elephants broke through the ground.
Everyone stared in horror at the monster that broke out of the ground, only to see that the upper half of the monster was in the form of a human, and the lower half of the body was in the shape of a snake. The monster's snake has four legs, not much different from a human's legs.
With the rumbling sound one after another, more and more half-human, half-snake monsters came out of the ground, and without them making any attacks, their strange bodies and hideous faces frightened these soldiers into disarray, and they collapsed on the ground, and many of them even wet their crotches.
After this group of monsters appeared, they casually hugged a nearby tree, and before the soldiers could react to what was going on, they saw this group of monsters let out a loud roar one after another. With a loud roar, the big trees were uprooted.
The monsters waved the big tree in their hands and swept towards the soldiers, and the soldiers, who had already lost their determination to resist, completely collapsed and fled around with their heads in their hands as if they were crazy.
But the monsters have already formed an encirclement, and as long as the fleeing soldiers run to the sideline, the monsters will smash down the uprooted trees and smash people into pulp.
It didn't take long for the soldiers to be killed, trampled to death, or scared to death by monsters, and there weren't many of them left.
Except for Angelina and Taizhang from Shuangsheng Mountain, Lianghu and his entourage, there were only hundreds of regular soldiers in military uniforms left. Of course, Zhou Chang and the fat man, who had been following Taizhang, also saved a small life for the time being.
All of them together were less than two hundred, and in the face of this behemoth, they had only the share of being slaughtered.
The monsters in the big circle were slowly retracting, and at this time, they all carried the big tree on their shoulders, and they didn't seem to have any intention of attacking again, as if they were trying to force these people who were still alive to one place.
At this time, the rune paper in Taizhang's hand had already drawn the spell and covered it with the talisman seal, he glanced at Angelina, and saw Angelina with her head down, her hands wrapped in a wide sleeved robe, holding the staff tightly, looking like this, she didn't plan to make a move.
Taizhang frowned, except for himself, other people here can only take turns to furnish when they encounter such a powerful demon clan, and the only one who can help is Angelina.
"Angelina, are you just going to watch these demons kill our kind without asking?" Taizhang was very annoyed, now that it was an emergency moment when her life was at stake, this girl could still make an indifferent look, and couldn't help but shout loudly.
