Chapter 384: Blood Poison
Could it be that these miscellaneous beards in the Western Regions really have the ability of "infinite anger" similar to the Hulk, and the more angry they are, the stronger they become?
It is unknown how this ability came about, but in short, Bai Yuqi knew that they were in big trouble! This is not a Hulk, but a special group!
If it is said that the original appearance of the Western Regions Zahu like a homeless person is their most basic and only form that is easy to kill.
Then the black hair, fangs and claws that grew all over their bodies, and the slightly atavistic form already made it difficult for them to be killed directly.
When they are stimulated by blood and fall into a state of frenzy, ordinary attacks will no longer be able to hurt them, and they can only be killed with a battle qi slash.
If they are injured again in the state of madness, they will be stimulated to enter a secondary state of madness, which is simply called a state of rage, at which point they are basically unmatched.
The Western Regions Zahu in a state of rage has basically completely lost his mind, and although the destructive power is very amazing, he fights without distinguishing between the enemy and me, and even kills each other.
This instead allowed the dragoons, who had successfully converged with the Tang cavalry, to seize the opportunity, urging the battle qi fighting array to cover the Tang cavalry to rush out of the encirclement and quickly retreat towards Yumen Pass.
Fortunately, the Tang army only carried out a tentative attack on the edge, and did not alarm all the Western Regions Zahu.
In addition, the other party was extremely scattered in order to forage for food, and it was difficult to gather all of them for a while, which gave them a chance to break through.
Those red giants are powerful, but it's a pity that the brain evolution is crippled.
As long as there are moving objects around them, they will instinctively attack each other, but they will not pursue the retreating Tang army.
And those who still have a little consciousness and know how to distinguish between friend and foe are also good at fighting, but their speed is obviously not fast.
Just relying on a pair of big feet to run, they can't catch up with the Tang army on a war horse, so after getting out of a certain range, they will slowly return to wandering after losing their goal.
Although he failed to defeat the other party and almost trapped himself in it, Tang Jun finally tried to find out the abnormalities of these Western Regions miscellaneous hues.
"Exile, strengthening, atavism, madness, and rage" is Bai Yuqi's name for the five stages of the Western Regions Zahu, but I don't know if if I continue to stimulate them, will they enter a stronger state?
Judging from the situation of these miscellaneous people in the Western Regions, they did not invade Datang with a purpose, but seemed to have lost their minds and wandered to Datang after being infected with a virus similar to rabies.
There is a precedent for alien meteorites to bring planarian cells, and Bai Yuqi is not even surprised that this mutant virus will break out in the West.
Because of the strange blood mist that erupted from their bodies, Bai Yuqi temporarily named this unknown virus "Blood Poison".
Judging from the tattered clothes and appearance of the other party, the members who make up this Western Regions miscellaneous beard are obviously all the nationalities of the Western Regions.
It can be seen that this "blood poison" is extremely widespread in the West and has been spreading for a long time.
Without knowing how the blood poison was transmitted, Bai Yuqi did not dare to rashly send the Tang Army to attack again.
The retreating Tang cavalry and dragoon guards did not dare to let them enter the Yumen Pass easily, but let them temporarily be stationed in the urn city outside the city.
At the same time, they were examined by the disciples of the [Holy Gate of Medicine], and any injured members were to be isolated and observed.
Fortunately, although there were many injured members, none of the Tang soldiers were infected with blood poison, but many of the Tang cavalry's horses went crazy.
After inspection, these Tang Army war horses seem to have been bitten.
It seems that this blood poison is infected through blood, and the Tang soldiers were not affected, obviously thanks to the well-sealed armor on their bodies.
In this case, Bai Yuqi can't take care of the broom and cherish himself.
summoned the "Heavenly Soldier Series" Spirit Cultivation Intelligent Weapon Armor to equip the Tang Dynasty soldiers.
At the same time, the eliminated "Wuji Series" Constructed Knight Armor and Steel Scale Dragon Pattern Armor were also distributed to the mercenaries participating in the battle to improve their defense as much as possible.
The Tang Army's temptation of these miscellaneous Hu in the Western Regions not only alarmed them, but also attracted them.
As a result, Zahu in the Western Regions, who was originally wandering aimlessly in the Western Turkic steppe, began to gather on the front line of Yumen Pass and tried to attack the Tang army.
It's just that the thirty-meter-high city wall blocked their attack, and they obviously did not have the ability to attack the city with their bare hands, so they could only wander under the city like a group of wandering zombies, roaring at the Tang army on the city wall frantically.
After observation, the Western Regions Zahu in the state of "exile" is extremely aggressive.
But they should still retain a certain sense of self, and even have a certain ability to think, which can be seen from their attempts to climb the city wall.
But once you enter the "strengthened" state, the ability to think is gone, and only the animal-like instinct remains, not to mention the "atavistic" state, which has completely become a beast.
Since the more they are stimulated, the stronger they will be evolved by the blood poison, so it is definitely not cost-effective to fight them.
Therefore, Bai Yuqi ordered the Tang army not to attack it rashly, and only guarded the city wall to prevent them from secretly climbing up, and at the same time captured some prisoners and came back to study it quickly to see if he could find a way to remove the blood poison.
But as more and more miscellaneous beards from the Western Regions converged in front of the Yumen Pass, the situation became worse and worse.
Because of the lack of food, these miscellaneous beards in the Western Regions began to kill each other impatiently.
It can be seen that although they are infected by blood poison, they are not out of the category of living things, and still need food to replenish their energy.
It's not like Bai Yuqi imagined, they have become an existence similar to zombies, although their current appearance is not stronger than zombies.
When they couldn't find food, they took each other as prey and began to eat each other, and with this cannibalism, they began to evolve continuously.
As a result, the miscellaneous beards of the Western Regions who gathered in front of the Yumen Pass gradually lost their original humanoid state and transformed into the form of the red giant in the fifth stage.
The most terrifying thing is that they are very susceptible to blood, and often the killing of two hungry individuals will affect an entire population like a contagion.
Although this has led to a significant decrease in their numbers, more and more individuals have evolved into the form of Red Giants, and they have even begun to have the ability to climb the city wall by brute force!
When the first "Blood Fiend" to evolve to the sixth stage appears.
The battle that had been temporarily suppressed finally broke out, and it went straight into its worst state.
