Chapter 42: The Eve of the Battle

Seeing that the locust chariot was about to smash to the ground, the newcomers wanted to jump out of the window in panic, Qin Han was hesitating whether to jump, and suddenly the momentum of the chariot's fall slowed down, and then immediately stopped, as if it was being held up.

After a few breaths, the chariot landed firmly on the ground.

"Wow, that general is so powerful! Tian An, who had never spoken, spoke.

Cai Erren poked his head out of the window to look, and Qin Han also took a look, only to see a three-zhang tall gold-armored giant standing behind the tail of the chariot, and the equipment on his body seemed to be the general of the emperor's ** team.

Zhou Li said in a loud voice: "It's so powerful, it's so powerful! I will also learn this kind of transformation technique in the future." ”

Cai Shixin said with a smile: "People have three zhang of transformation, do you have one zhang if you transform?"

"What's the matter," Zhou Li didn't care at all, "What's wrong with being short, you can just fight! You are a stupid big man with a big target, and others will stare at you and beat you in battle." ”

Cai Shixin was just about to retort, when the roar of the person in charge of the chariot shook the sky: "Quick! Prepare for battle!"

The newcomers have gradually regained their calm, and when they heard the yelling of the person in charge, they lined up in an orderly manner to get out of the car, and more anxious people jumped directly from the window.

Before the locust chariot came to the Dome Fortress, the emperor ** team and the mantis demon were evenly matched, and after the chariot came, the balance gradually tilted towards the human race, because the sect disciples flying near the chariot were strong in cultivation, and dealing with ordinary mantis demons was like chopping melons and vegetables.

There are thunderbolts in the fortress that continuously throw boulders, and the emperor ** team also continues to release various martial arts spells, and the momentum of the mantis demon's onslaught has gradually weakened, but there are still many mantis demons who have slipped through the net and jumped in from the city wall, and the newcomers are responsible for killing the fish that have slipped through the net.

Often, dozens of newcomers face a mantis demon, and it is effortless to kill.

Half an hour later, the tide of mantis demons faded, and the Terran warriors were finally able to rest.

A blue tiger flew from outside the fortress in the air, and jumped down a person, who was picking up stars.

The previous golden armor general had already returned to the size of an ordinary person, and greeted him and said, "The chief disciple of the Heavenly Yin Sect has made a move, presumably that terror has been wiped out, right?"

Xingzi had a serious face and said, "It has been eliminated, but the dinosaur is a nest guard, and there must be a mantis demon lair where it appears, and I have sent someone to search for it." General Fang, I'm afraid I still need your people to destroy the lair. ”

General Fang, the golden armor general, said: "No problem, will you leave tonight or wait until tomorrow morning?"

"The sooner the better, and it's best to set off as soon as there is news. "Pick up the stars and walk towards the newcomers near the city walls.

Qin Han heard the conversation between the two not far away, looked at Xingzi, and saw that the black clothes he was wearing were spotless, and it seemed that it didn't take much effort to kill the dire insects, and he couldn't help but admire the strength of Xingzi. The thirty-zhang tall dinosaur can be easily eliminated, is this the strength of the middle-level martial jue?

Xingzi walked in front of more than 10,000 newcomers and said loudly: "The plan has changed. It may be cruel to you, but you have no choice. After dawn, people below the third-level martial artist stayed to defend the fortress, and those above the third-level martial artist went out to search and destroy the remnants of the mantis demon. ”

The newcomers started talking, some were eager to try, others were complaining, and the response was different.

After picking up the stars and assigning tasks to the heads of the various sects, he walked to Qin Han's side and specially instructed: "The praying mantis demon is also very cunning, you must not be greedy for merit tomorrow, the highest reward of this competition is not to be taken, if you get injured for that reward, it is not worth it." ”

Qin Han glanced at Xingzi gratefully, and said respectfully, "Please rest assured, Senior Brother." ”

Ximen Guang stood behind Qin Han and suddenly said, "After dawn, there will be an elder of the Martial Dao Alliance to tell you the rules. The rule is to calculate the combat merits based on the head of the mantis demon, a small leader is equal to ten ordinary mantis demons, although Fan Minghui is not here, but he will definitely encounter it next, there are too many people under him, and the number of heads compared to ordinary mantis demons must not be compared, if you want to defeat him, there is only one way. We will help you hunt down large mantis demons and even mantis demon elites, so that you can surpass Fan Minghui in terms of combat merits. ”

"Okay!" Qin Han turned around.

Ximen Guang led more than a dozen subordinates, all riding all kinds of war beasts, and they looked like a rainbow. Riding mounts, that is, they are all low-level samurai and above.

Qin Han secretly praised in his heart, the Black Wind Cavalry Regiment was really good, and it deserved to be the faction with the least number of people and the strongest combat power.

"Then please, I'm confident that I will be able to break through the samurai realm after the Demon Hunting Tournament is over. Qin Han said slowly.

Ximen Guang's eyes lit up, and he whispered to his subordinates: "Let's go, let's go warm up now." ”

……

The first night spent in the Mantis Demon Territory was ordinary, and there was no expected mantis demon night attack.

The next day, the elders of the Martial Dao Alliance began to select martial artists above the third level. Qin Han felt a little familiar, because that elder was actually a woman, and she was a master in the Ulin Qualifiers.

Still the same, with a gloomy face and short black hair tied back her head, the woman looked at the team of less than eight hundred people in front of her, and her eyes were a little disappointed.

With a rookie team of more than 10,000 people, it is impossible for a third-level martial artist to have only 800 people. The woman saw that some people didn't want to take the initiative to participate in the war, but it was normal for people to be afraid of death and injury, and she couldn't do anything about those newcomers.

"That's it......," the woman sighed.

There are less than 20,000 emperors in the Dome Fortress, and nearly half of them were sent to destroy the mantis demon lair last night, and it would not hurt to leave more newcomers stationed there. The woman did not continue to choose people because of this consideration.

The team of less than eight hundred people was divided into forty squads, each led by six older sect disciples. The six older disciples also have a division of labor, two of them are the main battle, two of them pass the news, and the two are responsible for using the formation technique to protect the newcomers.

Formation technique is a relatively advanced spell, using secret techniques to set up a formation, stimulating a mysterious power of the human body, ordinary people can get together to resist most of the martial arts spells of cultivators, and can have the power of a battle. Some masters of formation can also apply formations to dead objects such as buildings, rivers and seas.

When facing a master of formation art, it is possible that even an ordinary person who has no martial arts cultivation will not be able to kill him. The simplest and most well-known formation technique: the art of connection, a group of people are connected through some mysterious power, one person is harmed, the damage will be shared equally by this group, but there is also a limit, that is, this group of people cannot be too far apart.

The two major martial arts alliances, dozens of sects, only one sect is proficient in the formation technique: the Eight Formation Sect, some sects do not even have the formation technique, and there are a small number of them in the Tianyin Sect, but only those above the martial arts level are qualified to learn, and Qin Han only knows a little bit about it at present.

The gloomy woman began to speak again: "Newcomers, I hope you can come back unscathed, although it will not be easy. Today will be the first time you've actually faced the Mantis Demon, and I'm not asking you how many Mantis Demons you can kill, just how many you learn to work as a team. In the face of those cunning beasts, only cooperation can sail the ship of ten thousand years, and no one can sail smoothly by individual force alone. If there is no doubt, let's go!"

Forty squads set off from the Dome Fortress, divided into eight directions in a scattered manner, and the target mileage was set at 300 miles, and within 300 miles, regardless of whether they encountered the mantis demon or not, they had to return to the fortress within ten days.

Tian An did not join these newcomer squads, although Cai Shixin and Zhou Li participated, they were not in the same team as Qin Han, which made Qin Han feel a little boring, because as soon as the team came out of the fortress, people quieted down, and the atmosphere was very dull.

The procession marched unhurriedly, setting out early in the morning, and arriving at a mound at three o'clock in the morning. Along the way, all Qin Han saw were the corpses of mantis demons, on broken rocks, treetops and burrows, some of which were very small and seemed to be still in a juvenile state.

After seeing it with his own eyes, Qin Han realized that these extremely vicious looking things were not quite the same as those described in the classics. Basically all books mention mantis monsters in one sentence: they are indistinguishable from bloodthirsty beasts.

But what Qin Han saw was something else. Some praying mantis demon lives in trees, and they dig large holes in thick trunks, and they also decorate the holes with various animal bones, and the trees next to the holes are carved with various patterns. Some mantis demons live in burrows with gates, just like Terran caves. By all indications, the mantis demon has its own culture.

When Qin Han lowered his head and thought, the team suddenly stopped. The team of nearly thirty people lined up in a diamond-shaped formation, Qin Han was at the end of the line, and the leaders were two older sect disciples, but the older ones were also relative, and the six people were a few years older than many newcomers, and they had a little more experience.

The man at the front was of medium height, dressed in white, twenty-one or twelve years old, and was crouching down to check something.

"What's wrong?" "What's the situation?" Many newcomers were curious and gathered around.

Qin Han also glanced at it, it was footprints.

On the soft black soil, the footprints of the basin, about a few inches deep, and the two rows of footprints are one foot apart, which seems to be left by a rather large thing.

Two rows of footprints stretched from the black soil to the sand by the river before disappearing, and the white-clothed disciple stood up, looking a little nervous, and said to the two disciples who were transmitting the message: "You go back to the fortress quickly and inform the elders, there are underwater mantis demons here, I'm afraid they need reinforcements." ”

The messenger disciple answered the call. The newcomers asked, "What is the underwater mantis demon?"

The white-clothed disciple didn't answer, but shouted, "Maintain the battle formation, and be ready for the Connection Technique at any time!"

More than 20 people dispersed according to the words, and the white-clothed disciple motioned to everyone not to move, but he and another main battle disciple slowly approached the river to check.

Seeing the two main battle disciples clenching their big swords and moving in unison, Qin Han unconsciously swallowed his saliva and looked at them very nervously, faintly feeling that something would happen in his heart.

The white-clothed disciple stood by the river, slowly squatted down, picked up the water with his left hand and sniffed it, and the next moment his expression changed abruptly, and he said urgently: "Retreat!"

The bodies of the two main battle disciples had just made a backward posture when there was a loud noise in the river, and a huge black shadow broke through the waves.
