Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Effect of the Demon Beast's Flesh Illusion
Yang Li threw the corpses of the three monkey kings on the city tower, feeling that this battle between the demons should come to an end, but he didn't expect that on the east city gate, the tragic battle between the demons continued, and there were even monkeys who dragged the corpses of the human soldiers everywhere, which was really unbearable.
Yang Li shouted: "Bold Demon Beast! Your leader's life has already been taken by me, how dare you be presumptuous here." Before he could finish his words, the man had already fallen on the battlements at the head of the city.
Seeing that it was Yang Li coming, General Lan's spirit was also lifted, he shook his spirits, forced a demon monkey back with a mountain opening knife, and then shouted: "Brothers, don't retreat! The person who came was the helper I invited, and he was the general who was personally sent by His Majesty the Emperor." ”
Then General Lan pointed at the three corpses of the Monkey King on the ground with the tip of his knife and continued to say loudly: "See! This is the fate of the sneak attack, brothers, follow me to kill all the demon beasts." "Although General Lan also knows that he and his subordinates don't have this ability, but when people come to sneak attack, you can't let them go, right?!
"Kill", "Kill!", "Avenge the dead brothers!" The shouts of killing suddenly resounded in the city gate tower, and the momentum was even comparable to the fierce battle in the front city gate tower.
Of course, Yang Li was not idle, he knew that although these defenders were all brave, they were just ordinary people, and they were really not enough to see in front of the demon beasts.
So he snatched spears and knives from the hands of the defenders, and without mercy strung all the monkeys on the shafts of his weapons, and then nailed them all to the city walls, waiting for the big fat man to come and receive them.
When Yang Li was doing all this, he was even thinking a little cruelly, I don't know how the barbecue on Zhu Da Fatzi's side is doing? !
At this time, the general had already heard the movement above the city tower on the stairs, and also heard the voice of the great savior Yang Li, so he let go of his courage and led dozens of his subordinates to rush up brandishing their swords.
When they came up, they didn't forget to put the spears they brought into Yang Li's hands, and then with the help of Yang Li's means, they pierced the monkeys one by one. The general and his subordinates had already seen Yang Li's methods.
But he was still shocked by the bloody killing in front of him, and saw that the monkeys were pierced by Yang Li's spear, as if they were lambs waiting to be slaughtered. No matter how fast they were, they couldn't dodge Yang Li's fatal puncture.
The blood of the demon beast bloomed all over the castle tower, and the pungent smell of blood diffused in the air.
General Lan and his subordinate General Zhong were also stunned. They hadn't been fighting the monsters for long, but they were already sweating and panting from exhaustion.
If it weren't for the weapons to support their bodies, I'm afraid they would all have to rest against the wall at this time.
Yang Li's body was so fast, it was like a wisp of green smoke floating between the various piercing monkeys. Although these demon beasts were killed happily and drank brains freely, they fell down one by one in front of Yang Li, and they were also very refreshing, and they did not drag mud and water.
After Yang Licai fought for a while, he felt that the surrounding monkeys had been taken down by him one by one, and only then did he stop his mysterious pace.
His face was not even more pale, and he quietly stopped in front of General Lan without breathing. "My lord is really skillful, and I admire him tightly!" Although General Lan was born in the royal family, he was a distant branch of the side, and at this moment, the blood of the soldiers flowing in his body was even more boiling, because he had only known that Yang Li was a pioneer who was "appointed" by the emperor to come to support, but he didn't know the other party's rank.
So it can only be replaced by a vague "adult", but it also fully expresses the reverence in General Lan's heart at this moment, what he usually admires most is a person with real skills, and he looks down on the verbal criticism of the civil officials above the temple, he thinks: Only people like Yang Li who are really fighting on the front line are real men and heroes in his mind.
"General Lan is too humble! You and I both serve the Great Wei State, regardless of each other, so don't call you an adult unfamiliarly. "Yang Li is not an arrogant person, so when people sincerely express their admiration, he is a little uncomfortable, so he asks General Lan to call him a bucket.
Through this matter, the two have taken a big step forward from being unfamiliar to being familiar, from an objective point of view, tonight it was Yang Li who really saved General Lan, if he hadn't come in time, the "beheading" method used properly, and the enemy's three demon monkey kings would have been destroyed in the initial time.
I'm afraid that at this time, these monkeys will attack other city gate towers, and the defenders will be overwhelmed, and sometimes when it really comes to that moment, I am afraid that General Lan will have to run around, exhausted, and may also die in the monkey mouth Zheng
"Father, are you alright?, someone is sneaking up on the castle tower I guarded, so I'm late!" the woman's voice came, of course, it was the daughter of General Lan with him. The place she was guarding tonight was the Castle Tower.
After receiving the order of the herald, her heart was like a white monkey scratching her heart, and she was in great pain, if it weren't for the sneak attack of Tang soldiers in the Houcheng Tower, she would probably have led people to come to support, and the so-called "father and son soldiers in battle, killing the enemy's own brothers" am afraid that it is this blood kinship.
But even if she rushed over in a hurry, she was still a step too late, and the dangerous scene had been suppressed by Yang Li. But then again, if Yang Li hadn't suppressed it here, I'm afraid that even if she came ten hundred, it would be impossible to force the demon monkey to retreat, which the general knew better, so he waited for the last moment, holding bundles of spears to climb the city tower, although his behavior was a little timid, but his wisdom was really good.
"There's nothing to do for my father! Thanks to my lord, oh, thanks to Brother Yang Li's life-saving feelings! If it weren't for my brother's timely arrival, I'm afraid my old life would have to be confessed here today! If I don't come to replace my father, thank you!" General Lan couldn't help but shudder in his heart when he thought about the extremely dangerous scene just now.
Not only did the other party suddenly descend in front of the Sword Pavilion, but also launched a siege battle on all sides overnight, which was so big that perhaps only the national teachers of the Tang Kingdom could think of it.
The most commendable thing is that he is never arrogant in his achievements, and can work together with the monarch of the Tang Dynasty to deal with such an external burden as the Great Wei Dynasty
General Lan often thinks that if the prince of his country can also do his duty as a courtier, then the strength of their national strength will definitely be above the Tang Dynasty, but sadly, he is just thinking about it in ordinary times, and it is impossible to find a confidant who can talk about it, even his daughter, he doesn't dare to tell her the true thoughts in his heart, and he can live a very aggrieved life.
"The woman thanked the general on behalf of her father!" After the female general hurriedly climbed the city tower, she was of course very happy to see that her father was still alive in front of her eyes, so when she thanked Yang Li on behalf of her father, her voice was also very sweet, especially the person who called the "general" was crisp in his heart, at least the general's heart had such a reaction.
The corners of Yang Li's mouth turned up and smiled slightly, revealing a charming expression that made the girl unforgettable, and then said: "It's all the result of the desperate survival of a group of brothers, I just happened to clean up the mess." It's not as exaggerated as General Lan, General Lan is serious!"
When General Lan heard this, he stroked his beard and laughed. He knew that Yang Li was saving face for his main general, and he was trying his best to clean up the mess, but he was trying his best; However, he was very satisfied with this answer, because in the future, he would still lead the troops to garrison here, and garrison the troops to prevent the Tang army from crossing here, if everything in Yang Li today was his credit, then how could he, the commander-in-chief, be in the army, and how could he lead the army to fight in the future?
Therefore, General Lan not only glanced at Yang Li more, but felt that this young man was dignified, and his cultivation was superb, and he should be worthy of his good daughter.
During the time period when they were talking, three or two of the monkeys who had been defeated in the battle quietly "slipped out" from the barrel of the gun, and of course they endured the severe pain.
Then they hid themselves in the shadows, and then, as soon as they turned, they descended over the tower, and after a few moments they were gone.
"Some demon beasts ran away with injuries!" General Zhong and the female general spoke at the same time, and General Lan himself also noticed it, but in view of their own strength, they could not pursue the demon beasts, and it was more likely that they would be captured and injured by the latter after intercepting the demon beasts, so General Lan did not give any orders, he just looked at Yang Li with his eyes, maybe here, in the Sword Pavilion City, only the handsome descendants in front of him had the ability to prevent the monkey from going back.
Of course Yang Li knew what General Lan meant, because he was not his superior, and even Yang Li had the background and identity of some of the big people from the city, when General Li came, he didn't ask Yang Li to obey the other party's dispatch after they arrived, so he was the only one present who could catch up and defeat the demon beast, but General Lan couldn't order him to pursue, so he could only watch and talk.
Yang Li waited for a moment and said, "General Lan, don't worry. Just a few hairy monkeys don't worry about going back. I deliberately let them go back to report the news, so that the commander on their side would know that the general's side was not something he could come if he wanted to.
He made a feint at the front door tonight, and the attack on the flanks was the main attack. Maybe General Blue doesn't know yet, just on the eve of the battle here, we have already made the same attack on the left thigh.
If I go after the Piercing Monkey, I'm afraid that several towers of the Sword Pavilion will be violently attacked. This time, if they retreated, if they want to attack the city again, I am afraid they will have to wait a ...... or two" Yang Li analyzed the situation of both the enemy and us, and General Lan also kept nodding yes, and his intention to take a son-in-law was also active!
However, Yang Li's heart was suddenly tightened at this time. He felt a demonic aura rushing straight into the sky, and it contained a strong aura of anger! This time, the demonic aura that burst out rushed into the sky, and even the condensing cultivators could feel its existence, and after Yang Li groaned slightly, he saw that near him, General Lan also looked up over there, his face was dull, as if he had seen a terrifying bloody scene.
What's even more thought-provoking is that this demonic aura actually rushed up from the direction of the opponent's enemy camp, in other words, in the opponent's camp, I am afraid that there is still a great demon king, and its strength is probably no less than Yang Li's current cultivation, in comparison, it should still be above the strength of the Thousand-Hand Demon King of the Phantom Sea, and it is not up to the attention of those who can observe Yang Liji in his presence.
General Lan grabbed Yang Li's shirt and was able to quickly walk to a corner, so General Lan asked with a slight expression: "Presumably brother, you have also seen that there is probably a terrifying demon king in the enemy camp, and with the current strength of our Sword Pavilion defenders, it is definitely not his opponent."
I don't know if you have a way to deal with it, brother?" Yang Li groaned slightly, then raised his head slightly, his eyes were cold, and his voice was cold: "I also feel this breath, it is indeed powerful, and there is endless anger in it." The piercing monkey we killed just now is probably inextricably linked to it.
But that's all I can think of, as for whether I can cope with it, and what happens after we see each other. ”
Yang Li is also telling the truth, what he feels now is only the huge aura of the demon king, but he has never met him, if he can deal with it, it is too early to say.
Just a moment after he and General Lan were talking, the demonic aura that rushed up suddenly disappeared without a trace, even if Yang Li's divine sense was strong, there was no way to find its trace. What's going on here?
General Lan looked at the demonic aura that suddenly disappeared in the sky, and suddenly patted the back of his head and said, "I'm afraid that this demon king has a magic weapon to hide his momentum, otherwise, with your brother's cultivation, I'm afraid that he would have been able to detect its strong aura in Bai a long time ago." ”
No wonder this demon beast was in the enemy camp, but he only noticed its breath now, and it was only a momentary breath, and then all his information was gone. Yang Li also had a feeling of sudden realization, feeling that the other party was prepared, maybe the real battle was still to come.
But now that the battle had subsided, Yang Li accompanied General Lan to the city tower on the left.
The battle scene here is still the same, there are corpses of human and demon people everywhere, the scene is extremely terrifying and bloody, if you don't pay attention, you are likely to be tripped by the stump and severed hand, and then the guts will cover their mouth and nose to the side to vomit.
What is extremely incongruous with the atmosphere here is that Zhu Da Fat Man and Yidao are surrounded by a bonfire, roasting the flesh of the winged demon monkey with fresh cumin, and the faint fragrance can really hook the gluttonous insects in the human belly.
General Lan looked at the battlefield carefully, except for some soldiers who were cleaning up here, the others were no different from what he had just experienced. General Lan raised his face and tilted his head, and it took him a long time before he was pulled back from his scattered thoughts by the noisy voices around him.
"Where does the smell of barbecue come from?" "You smell it, yes, yes." Only then did General Lan feel a strange fragrance in his snort, as if he had smelled it in some time period in the distant past.
He quickly took a few more sips, then screamed badly, and hurried around to feel the source of the fragrance. His daughter and Yang Li followed.
Because the bonfire built by the big fat man was not far from the cluster, General Lan came to the bonfire in three or two steps, and found the source of the aroma.
General Lan saw that on the fiery red tongue of fire, the body of a beast was being roasted to oil, and the aroma came from it.
General Lan raised his nose and sniffed it, and then without saying a word, he kicked up and kicked the delicious monkey that was about to be roasted and flew out.
While returning: "You still dare to eat such a demon beast body?" Zhu Da Fat Man was roasting vigorously, he saw General Lan and Yang Li coming to him together, and thought that they were here to fight tooth sacrifices together, so he stood up very high-chested, with a smile on his face.
However, his smile did not usher in a good response, and the person kicked away the delicious food he had worked so hard to bake, and suddenly his face was full of anger.
Yidao also felt very surprised by the side, he also stood up slowly at this time, and looked at General Lan with a serious face, I am afraid that if Yang Li didn't stop him with his eyes at this time, he would probably be like a young man, his blood was surging, and he would do something irrational.
Yang Lifang felt that the fragrance wafting from the roasted monkey meat was a little peculiar, and it was indeed changed to a bit of a psychedelic feeling, even after he, the auspicious cloud master, smelled the fragrance, he was also in a trance, let alone others.
Just now, it was because there was a strong enemy in front of him, and it was inconvenient for him to delve into this matter, but now that the battle had stopped, he picked up this thought.
After General Lan hurriedly kicked the roasted meat away, he didn't pay attention to the hostility that a knife and Zhu Da Fat Man naturally revealed, he only sighed, and then said slowly: "You are too young! I'm afraid I don't know some things yet." Then he recounted the past in a very heavy tone.
The story takes place five years before he has yet to become the master of the Sword Pavilion. At that time, he led an army to attack the Tang army camp, where he also encountered the Piercing Monkey, at that time, his cultivation had reached the initial level of Concentrating Cultivator, but the Piercing Monkey encountered was far less powerful than the one encountered now.
Although it was a surprise encounter, the troops he led still resisted, and the attack of more than a dozen monkeys was attacked, and when he returned, he also brought a corpse of a monkey.
At that time, they were still in contact with the Tang Dynasty for the first time, and the monkeys that were "trained" out of the Tang Dynasty did not understand anything, so as today, some soldiers even brought back a monkey-wearing palm from the battlefield out of curiosity, and then roasted it on the general's back.
This soldier was originally from a hunter like Yang Li, so he had the habit of bringing back prey, especially this kind of demon beast that he had never seen before. But strange things happened after he roasted the palm of the monkey's hand.
A rich and strange aroma, in the process of his roasting, inadvertently filled most of the military camp. Almost all the soldiers smelled the fragrance to a greater or lesser extent, and some of them hallucinated about it, and rushed out of the barracks crying and crying very irrationally.
Some even picked up knives and guns to harm themselves, and some climbed a big tree and looked silently in the direction of their hometown.
Of course, General Lan also smelled a strange fragrance at this time, probably because the flesh of the roasted monkey was not much at that time, although he felt a trance, but he was unable to control his body and mind by this fragrance, so he soon discovered the source of many soldiers' psychedelic hallucinations. At that time, as now, he decisively stepped on the body of the demon beast that was being roasted on Lin.
But everything happened too suddenly, and the measures he took did not wake up the soldiers who were already in a trance, but only to keep the soldiers who were still relatively awake for the time being. And at this time, the enemy army seemed to know their situation here, and actually counterattacked, killing General Dilan all the way and losing his armor and returning defeated.
Since then, the corpse of the demon beast cannot be used for barbecue, so he has become General Lan, and the unwritten military rules in the army under his command, if you have the right to dare to bake any part of the demon beast in front of him, you will get a severe punishment of beating two hundred military sticks first, and then discussing the disposal. If it weren't for Yang Libaocheng's meritorious face, I'm afraid that Zhu Da Fat would have been killed by General Lan on the spot.
There is no other reason, because Zhu Da Fat Man roasted the monkey like this, and the fragrance that wafted out will definitely spread in the city, and it will inadvertently make the army lose its combat effectiveness, and at that time, even if people don't come to attack the city, I'm afraid that the entire Sword Pavilion can be handed over to people, and you, General Lan, will be annoyed by such a result. So he stepped straight over, but he had already left enough face for Yang Li and them.
After listening to General Lan's words, everyone, including Yang Li, gasped. Everyone has heard of the meat of this demon beast, which tastes delicious, but they don't know that the aroma of the meat of this demon beast wafting out during the roasting process has the effect of hallucination, and it is very strong.
Although this effect varies from person to person, and the higher the cultivation, the more affected it is, the vast majority of soldiers will still wink
Everyone didn't expect that the other party sent such a demon beast to attack the city, and even counted the corpse left by the monkey as a plan, it seems that the other party's commander is not an ordinary person, he must want to finish the battle tonight, he has already expected that if he can't attack hard, he will use such a means to lure the defenders to be deceived, and then take it lightly.
Yang Li stepped forward at the moment when everyone was embarrassed and amazed, picked up the piece of monkey meat that had not been completely cooked, put it under his nose and sniffed, and then "Huh!", muttered a word that others couldn't hear, and then opened his mouth and bit down on the piece of monkey meat fiercely, causing the people around him to exclaim.
Everyone was very strange, didn't Yang Li hear General Fang Cailan's words, this is nothing to do.
And at this moment, in front of the city gates, the Tang Army, who were ready to go, opened their eyes wide.
When they saw the defeat of the monkeys sent out by their side at the head of the city, they did not panic, but waited patiently below, waiting for the defenders in the city to fall one by one, so that they could make a contribution.
Because they also faintly smelled a strange fragrance below, as if it were nothing.
