Chapter 42: Commanding the Horns
When the flames erupted, not only the entire lake, but also most of the mountains seemed to be enveloped in flames.
A terrifying heat surged from the void, like a surging river. Duan Tianlin, who escaped, was like a sharp arrow, almost exerting his internal strength to the extreme, but he couldn't escape the flames.
The fierce Black Dragon Army, the most powerful and elite army of the Xiqi Dynasty, is comparable to the Praetorian Guard of the Great Yan Dynasty. In the midst of this flame, like mustard.
In an instant, there was only a rushing flame left in everyone's eyes. The flames swept forward, silently, the rocks were burned to powder, and the trees were burned to char. When the flames dissipated, this spell actually burned out a vacuum area of more than 100 meters in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.
"Tianwei, this is Tianwei!"
Guo Tianwei, the only cultivator in the team, looked at the scorched land in front of him with stiff eyes.
Even if he exhausted his divine thoughts, he might not be able to cast a spell that was half as powerful as this firestorm. But Chu Jingtian came easily, which was simply beyond his imagination.
"Demons, demons!"
Luo Shengyu and Wang Chong glanced at each other.
Although Chu Jingtian had the intention of killing them all before, everyone was somewhat skeptical. After all, this is a hundred or so Black Dragon Army, if they flee desperately, can you kill them all?
But now Chu Jingtian ended up with a spell, burning the lake area into a wasteland, and let more than a hundred Black Dragon Soldiers die here, which is simply incredible!
How many hole cards does this young Master Chu have that they don't know?
"Who is it?!"
Just when everyone was shocked, Chu Jingtian frowned, turned his head to look at the mountains and forests, and shouted in a deep voice: "It's sneaky there, get out of here quickly!"
Anyone else?
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked ahead. I saw another mountain forest, slowly walking out of a team of people. However, this time it was not the Black Dragon Army of the Xiqi Dynasty, but the Praetorian Guard of the Dayan Dynasty.
A man who looked like a thousand men walked with a shocked face.
"Hong Mingguang, the commander of the Blue Dragon Regiment, meet Master Chu!" the man clasped his fists with both hands and said respectfully. "We are just following Zhou Hailong, and we have no intention of disturbing you, and we ask Master Chu for your understanding. ”
"Really?" Chu sneered.
This thousand-commander named Hong Mingguang was numb from being stared at by Chu Tiantian, and he couldn't help but kneel.
The relationship between the Qinglong Regiment of the Praetorian Guard and the King of Beiliang is relatively close, and he has also been to the Beiliang King's Mansion a few times, and he has seen a few shocking faces. At that time, Chu Jingtian was still a young master who was scolded by everyone, and Hong Mingguang was also coldly disdainful.
But who would have thought that the little-known little man would be so decisive.
"Master Chu, I don't dare to say anything. ”
Hong Mingguang's face turned pale, and he hurriedly explained: "We have spies who found that Zhou Hailong left sneakily with a team of people and horses, and there are sounds of fighting here, Master Wan is worried about what tricks the Black Dragon Army has, so let me come and take a look!"
"You don't dare!" Chu Jingtian waved his hand and stopped looking at him.
"It's time to go back!"
This time I went into the mountain for the red beads and golden fruits.
Although there was a small episode of the Black Dragon Army, he had already reached the stage of true qi, which could be regarded as a consummation. Next, only Xuanyin Grass remains, as long as you get him, you can refine the 'Tongxuan Pill' and step into the Xuanxuan Period!
Thinking of the Xuan Period, Chu Jingtian secretly shook his head.
The Firestorm he unleashed earlier was a second-order mid-grade spell, and although it was powerful, it was also very expensive. This one spell alone exhausted seventy percent of his divine thoughts, and if he could reach the Xuan Xuan Stage, no matter how powerful the spell was, he could also use it at will.
"Master Chu, please stay!" At this time, Hong Mingguang's voice came from behind him.
"Oh, do you want to disembowel me and take out the red bead golden fruit?"
Chu Jingtian stopped and looked at it with a smile.
Although he consumes a lot, it doesn't mean that he has become a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others. The Black Dragon Army is like this, and so is the Green Dragon Regiment of the Praetorian Guard, if it really annoys him, it will be a big deal to kill them all.
"Don't dare, don't dare! Master Chu, you have all the means, even if you give me eight more guts, I won't dare! The reason why I stopped you is to ask you for a favor!"
Hong Mingguang hurriedly explained:
In order to hunt down that person, the Black Dragon Army and the Praetorian Guard Army both gathered in this Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, and there were several frictions during this time, all of which were won less and lost more. And now the Praetorian Guards are about to be suppressed by the Black Dragon Army out of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain!
Not only did he not fight the Black Dragon Army, but he was afraid that he would not even be able to complete the task.
After seeing Chu Shocking's methods, Hong Mingguang realized that if there were more of these people in the Praetorian Guard, it would inevitably increase its strength greatly, and maybe it would be able to counterattack the Black Dragon Army.
"That's it, I'll do you a favor!" Chu Jingtian pondered for a moment and nodded.
The Praetorian Guards are in real power in the dynasty, and if they help, the Xuanyin Grass may be easier to get hold of, and there will be fewer twists and turns.
"Thank you, Master Chu!"
Hong Mingguang hurriedly thanked.
Along the way, Hong Mingguang also knew everything and said everything, and told everything that had happened in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain in the recent period.
"The person that our Praetorian Guard and the Black Dragon Army are hunting is called Zhang Hang, he only has true qi stage cultivation, but he somehow blended into the royal family of the Xiqi Dynasty and stole the 'Command Beast Horn'!"
"Just blowing that 'horn' can move the herd, from dozens to hundreds. During this time, the beast tide in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain was caused by Zhang Hanhang!"
"The mission of our Praetorian Guard is to prevent the Black Dragon Army from getting this horn!"
Chu Jingtian nodded.
Dayan and Xiqi were originally hostile, and it was normal for them to make such a move.
"Is there really such a magic weapon?" Wang Chong couldn't help but exclaim.
Aren't the magic weapons of the cultivators all auxiliary release spells? How can they still command the beasts?
If in a large-scale war, the Xiqi Dynasty used such magic weapons to control thousands of demon beasts to kill into the army, who else could resist it?
"Why not? It's just that you haven't seen it. Chu Jingtian said lightly. "In my estimation, this kind of magic weapon should be made from the horns of some powerful demon beast, and then refined by some special means. Able to control hundreds of demon beasts, this beast horn is at least taken from the body of a third-order demon!"
"That's right!" Hong Mingguang glanced at Chu Jingtian in astonishment, he didn't expect the other party to actually deduce the origin of this beast horn from his own words.
"This beast horn was taken from a third-order Yin snake, and at the beginning, the Black Dragon Army sent nearly 10,000 people just to hunt it, and more than seventy percent of them were killed or wounded!"
"If we can get this beast horn, it will be equivalent to weakening Xiqi's strength, of course, if we can get it, it will be even better!"
Hearing Hong Mingguang say this, Chu Jingtian suddenly lost interest in commanding the beast horns.
With his current methods, although he can't control the beast herd as easily as commanding the beast horns, once he reaches the Xuan Xuan stage, with the ancient dragon language, he can do it to the level of commanding the beast herd.
To him, the horns of the beast are just chicken ribs.
Led by Hong Mingguang, everyone came all the way to the camp of the Praetorian Guards.
The entire camp was heavily defended, and a majestic and majestic green dragon banner fluttered in the wind, and they came directly to the location of the Chinese army's big tent, where the captain was located, where a group of people were studying the map.
"Captain Wan, I have already found out Zhou Hailong's whereabouts. It turned out that he was for a red bead golden fruit, but all of them had already been killed. It was this ...... who shot."
Hong Mingguang was about to introduce Chu Jingtian, when Captain Wan glanced at him, and suddenly showed a hint of great joy.
"It turned out that the head of the Wang Dajiao was here in person, and with your help, we can be regarded as a tiger with wings!"
The majestic man who was held by the stars and surrounded in the center hurriedly greeted him in person and bowed his hand to Wang Chong.
"The head of the king!"
The seven or eight commanders present saw that Wang Chong also stretched their brows, and hurriedly bowed their hands.
This Wang Chong, they all know each other, is one of the newly appointed leaders of the Blue Dragon Regiment.
The strength of the Praetorian Guard of the Blue Dragon Regiment was similar to that of the Black Dragon Army, but because the Black Dragon Army came to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain early and occupied the favorable terrain, they were defeated and retreated. Don't look at Wang Chong alone, but for them, it is not only a big help, but also can stabilize the morale of the army and improve morale.
"Lord Bai Xun......"
Wang Chong stood to the side with an embarrassed face, and secretly glanced at Chu Jingtian.
Captain Wan, named Bai Xun, patted Wang Chong's shoulder with a smile, and said with the posture of an old friend:
"Sect Leader Wang, I know that you have not yet received a letter of appointment and have not yet officially taken office. But with your strength, this is already a certainty. And you are personally appointed by our commander, who dares to disagree?"
"Come, come, come, take a seat!"
"It is worthy of being the great sect leader favored by the Great Commander, and as soon as he came to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, he helped us so much. That Zhou Hailong was the youngest commander in the Black Dragon Army, and his strength had reached half a step of True Qi, and he would be able to step into the True Qi Stage in less than three years! You killed him this time, which can be regarded as a contribution to our Great Yan Dynasty!"
The commanders around them also congratulated each other.
"The head of the Wang Sect really deserves his reputation!"
"With your help this time, we will definitely beat the Black Dragon Army to the ground!"
"That week, the sea dragon was too arrogant, relying on his high strength, he killed many of our soldiers of the Blue Dragon Regiment. As soon as you made a move, you killed him, it's so relieving!"
Listening to the congratulations around him, Wang Chong's face was full of sincere fear.
This is not his credit, and he does not dare to attack!
Hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"Lord Bai Xun, you have tormented me. It wasn't me who killed Zhou Hailong, but someone else!"
"Oh, who is it?, please hurry up and introduce me!" Bai Xun knew that he had made a mistake, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, but after all, as a captain of ten thousand, he was used to seeing big scenes, and he quickly returned to normal.
His gaze kept sweeping over Wei Zhicheng, Guo Tianwei, Ma Dongxue and others, and at the same time, a trace of doubt arose in his heart.
The strength of these people doesn't seem to be strong, so how can they kill Zhou Hailong?
Just when everyone was puzzled, a voice came slowly:
"It's me!"
