Chapter 324: Night Attack

Although Bai Yuqi didn't say much.

But Qin Qiong still realized from his words that there might be something wrong in this Hengshan City.

While ordering people to gather the surviving Goguryeo people for detention, they also arranged for personnel to be on duty and patrol in case anything happened.

Although the disciples were psychologically dependent on Bai Yuqi because of their following, they always felt that there was a star monarch who couldn't fall in the sky, so they relaxed their vigilance a little.

But the basic military literacy is still there, and Qin Qiong, who was the general of Zuo Wuwei and the general of the sect wing of their father and even their ancestors, was reprimanded, and suddenly jumped up in shock, cheered up and began to act in accordance with the military order.

However, after inspecting the dilapidated Hengshan City again, he still didn't find anything abnormal, and Qin Qiong also subconsciously looked at Bai Yuqi with some puzzlement.

But Bai Yuqi still only smiled, and after instructing Shi Xuanzang and the disciples of the [Medical Holy Gate] to practice holy arts, he closed his eyes and meditated.

Qin Qiong knew that he had made up his mind to test his disciples, so he quietly reminded Wei Chi Baolin and the others, but secretly raised his vigilance and personally supervised the disciples to act in strict accordance with the rules of the army.

As the night deepened, except for the members of the Infinite Knights who were on duty and patrolling in shifts, everyone else was already asleep in the warm marching tents.

Bai Yuqi still sat cross-legged by the campfire in front of the tent and closed his eyes and meditated, unaffected by the cold wind and low temperature.

He seemed to be cultivating, but in fact, his consciousness had already been projected to the arcane laboratory on the side of Yingzhou.

During this time, with the assistance of Zhenweis's Engineer Corps, he not only developed large-scale mines everywhere in Yingzhou, but also collected various natural resources.

Moreover, various laboratories have been opened in the Flame Tower, and many arcane experimental projects have been opened at the same time, which is too busy to be opened.

So he seems to be moving with the team during the day, but in fact, his consciousness has been busy with projection illusions on Yingzhou's side, which is why he rarely participates in battles.

Not to mention other projects, just the recent whimsical start, the "Armor Design and Upgrade Project" and the "Spiritual Network Virtual Mana Pool Skill System" have taken up a lot of his energy.

Experiments or something, although they can be completed by relying on Zhenweis, but the changes to the rune spell need to be completed by him himself, and the construction of intelligent machines cannot completely replace the role of the spellcaster.

By midnight, the fog of negative energy that had been dispelled by [Flash Blast] was shrouded again.

Although it was far less dense than before, it still made the moonlight and the stars in the sky hazy.

The temperature seemed to have begun to drop again, and even the originally roaring bonfire seemed to have become less warm under the cold, and the flickering flames were suppressed and could only flicker on the firewood.

The campfire is only used to keep warm.

Each tent in the camp has a [Staff of Light] in front of and behind it, which can both dispel the fog of negative energy and illuminate the darkness.

This seemed to have caused a lot of trouble to something in the darkness, and there was a squirming sound around the Tang army camp.

From time to time, you can even see vague black shadows, flashing between the dilapidated houses of Yokoyama Castle.

However, the patrol team of four and the holy light in the camp were as bright as day, but those things in the darkness were afraid to approach easily.

After five watches in the night, until the darkest period before dawn, the campfire in the camp was only faintly embered, and the [Holy Light Staff] was gradually extinguished due to the depletion of energy.

The things that lurked in the darkness dared to approach the camp in a desperate way, sneakily trying to get into the tents of the army.

"Who's there!?"

Suddenly, there was a loud explosion, shattering the dead silence of Hengshan City.

A patrol team slammed the [Holy Light Staff] in their hands towards the place where they found the movement!

I saw the two-foot-long staff spinning in the air, slamming into the wall of a dwelling, and the bright ball of holy light on the head of the staff suddenly exploded into a shining light.

And in this flickering light, the patrol team saw what was hidden in the darkness...... Hordes of people lurking in alleys, houses, and even rooftops!

"Enemy Attack !!"

The [Wujimen] disciple of the patrol team shouted loudly, reached out and pulled out a fist-sized sphere, slammed it on the breastplate, and threw it into the sky.

"Boom!" An explosion like thunder woke up the [Wujimen] disciples in the entire camp, and at the same time, a bright ball of light exploded in the sky, just hanging in the sky to illuminate the four fields.

Combined with the [Sonic Boom] + [Daylight Technique] Rune Array, the alchemy product [Sonic Boom Flare] refined has both the two major effects of night warning and lighting.

I saw that under the light of the [sonic boom flare], a large group of ragged Goguryeo people rushed towards the camp in a frenzied tide, and they continued to let out a beast-like roar while running at an astonishing high speed.

The members of the Infinite Knights were only a few hundred in total, and they were divided into five batches for different time periods, and each batch of twenty patrol squads was only eighty people.

In the face of the crazy surging Goguryeo people in the dark, the leading disciple who was in charge of this period pulled out the sword behind the knight's armor and shouted, "Formation!"

What they have to do is to buy time for their companions who wake up in the tent to put on their armor.

The diamond-shaped quadruple arrays in the form of the front one, the middle and the second and the back are adjacent to each other, standing in front of the camp like a piece of hard reef.

The large crowd of Goguryeo people, like the waves that swooped up, slammed into the defense line, and were cut into splashes by a burst of arc-shaped sword light.

After the two sides took over, the disciples of [Wujimen] saw clearly, what kind of Goguryeo people were there, and these were all the "corpse demons" they killed along the way!

Although he was still wearing tattered clothes, his muscles and skin had long been dry and black, and even his hair had fallen out.

The shriveled lips shrank so much that the gums were exposed, making their pale teeth look extraordinarily long.

The enemy was exposed, and the disciples of the [Wuji Gate], who didn't know how many of these ghost things they had killed along the way, calmed down.

In order to buy time for their companions, they didn't care about saving their battle qi at this time, and brandished their huge ship slashing knives to release a series of fierce battle qi blades, slashing the surging corpse demons back.

But what surprised them was that they had repeatedly inspected the entire Hengshan City before camping, and they didn't even find the body of a mouse.

The negative energy creatures around Hengshan City have all been wiped out in a [flash explosion] from the star king, where did these corpse demons come from?
