182 The beast did not die

Ordering and prohibiting has always been the ultimate goal of human countries in governing their armies, but when death really comes, even among the bravest soldiers of the Great Xia Kingdom, there will be people who are timid.

In the history of the war between man and demon, there are countless examples of defeat and destruction due to fear of death at critical moments, if the soldiers of the entire Great Xia Kingdom can be as bloody and brave as the people who committed suicide in Quicksand City, how dare the demons come to attack?

Perhaps, in the eyes of some, it is foolish for the people of Quicksand City to commit suicide in this way to fulfill others. They could have died in a more heroic way after the demon army entered the city, which would have been more valuable, and they would probably have dragged a few Blood Skull warriors to their own burial.

But Ye Haotian didn't think so.

The Blood Skull Warriors are the most elite regiment of the Demon Clan, in front of them, the ordinary people in the city have no chance to fight back at all, and they can't even do a sneak attack, on the contrary, once they fall into the hands of the other party alive, the next encounter will be countless times more terrible than death.

The high priests of the demon clan all have some terrifying witchcraft, among which there is a 'soul search technique' that can take away other people's memories, and the process of soul searching is long and painful, which is the direct destruction of the divine soul, which is a hundred times more cruel than the four tortures of the seventh uncle.

The suicide of civilians will give greater courage to the survivors, the power of grief can bring out the potential of the fugitives, and their corpses will shock and even terrify the demon army, even the Blood Skull Legion.

There are many dangers on the way to escape, no one can guarantee whether they will be caught up by the demon army, and the living must be prepared for battle, less than 500 war horses must be selected to leave a hundred good horses for the soldiers and cultivators who can fight, in case of accidents, they will use their lives to buy time for the clansmen to escape.

Standing on the empty quicksand street, Ye Haotian's mood gradually stabilized, and he began to think about the details of the escape, for fear that there would be any mistakes.

"Ye Gongzi. ”

Wang Wu's voice came from behind him.

Ye Haotian turned his head and cast an inquiring look.

"The brothers in the north of the city are in trouble. Wang Wu came to Ye Haotian's side and said.

"Huh?" Ye Haotian was stunned, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Is it a siege beast?"

Wang Wu nodded, "That's it." ”

......

......

The desert night in early spring was still a little cold, and most of the fire in the demon army camp had been extinguished, and the Blood Skeleton warrior who had been fighting for a day dragged his tired body into the simple camp tent and quickly fell asleep.

In a dark corner of the front camp, the red-clothed animal tamer sat motionless on a rock, looking at the quicksand city in front of him with a dull expression, the faint starlight shining on his young face, and the pain and despair in those pale yellow eyes could be faintly seen.

The beast tamer who has lost the giant beast is like a tiger and leopard with broken claws, which has no use value, and his next fate is likely to be thrown into the pioneer camp as an ordinary cannon fodder soldier, or he may be driven out of the military camp and left to fend for himself in the desert.

For an animal trainer with almost zero personal combat effectiveness, either outcome means that his time is running out. This is the Blood Skull Legion, and they never raise idlers.

Disaster seems to have struck sooner than expected.

A sound of broken footsteps sounded from behind the beast trainer, and he turned his head to see two ** blood skeleton warriors with wooden sticks in their hands, and they could see from the hideous expressions on the faces of the other that they had bad intentions.

The trainer reacted quickly, jumping off the stone and running, but stopped after a few steps. Directly in front of him, two other Blood Skull warriors surrounded him with a sinister grin.

"What do you want!" asked the trainer in despair, his voice trembling.

"What are you doing?" the tallest of the four Blood Skull warriors sneered: "Venerable Karui Beast Tamer, you used to rely on giant beasts, you always looked down on us, and now that Godzilla and Austria are dead, you will have no use value, before being thrown into the pioneer camp tomorrow to die, it is better to play with Lao Tzu first." As he spoke, he pulled off his belt, and the other three Blood Skull warriors also pressed forward with a lewd smile.

......

......

There is a large pit with a length of 12 meters and a width on the quicksand avenue about 40 meters away from the north gate in the city of Quicksand City.

The pit had been dug freshly last night, and at this time, more than two dozen soldiers with lanterns and knives and guns were standing around the edge of the pit, staring at the rolling mud inside.

In their line of sight, they could see a behemoth in the pit struggling in the muddy water, and as its body continued to rise and fall, the thick horn appeared and disappeared in the mud, and at the end of the horn, half of the head covered by a large net and two fist-sized yellow-brown eyes were exposed.

This is the siege beast that suddenly disappeared after entering the city - Godzilla.

If Zichuan Hiroshi and Ying Jiu could see this scene, they would definitely be shocked.

They would never have imagined that the supposedly invincible siege beast would be trapped in such a small quagmire and not die.

Hurried footsteps could be heard in the distance, and several figures became clearer and clearer in the eyes of the soldiers.

"It's Ye Gongzi. One of the soldiers shouted, and the crowd hurried around.

Ye Haotian walked through the soldiers who surrounded him, came to the earthen pit, and frowned slightly when he saw hundreds of sharp arrows and giant beasts with heavy snorts inserted in the mud in the pit.

In order to deal with the siege beast, Ye Haotian spent a lot of effort last night, this seemingly simple pit has been carefully calculated regardless of length, width or depth, the big net on the head of the giant beast, and the silt in the pit to prevent the giant beast from jumping out with the help of force, are the crystallization of many years of experience and wisdom of the hunters in the city.

This method has proven to be effective.

“...... The skin of the giant beast is too thick, and ordinary weapons can't break through its defenses, so the fifth brother invited you to see how to kill it to avenge the brothers. A squad leader with a knife approached Ye Haotian and said.

Ye Haotian didn't speak, quietly looking at the giant beast in the pit.

He almost died trying to kill another giant beast during the day's battle, and after the battle with Ying Jiu, his body was extremely weak, and it was fortunate that he could struggle to survive from the shadow of death.

After escaping the catastrophe, Ye Haotian awakened a new bloodline ability-Condensation. In order not to worry Zhuzhu, in order to prove that he had recovered, he endured the discomfort of using it once, and when he used it up, he realized that the newly comprehended ability would not only consume a lot of the power of the demon soul, but would still repel the divine blood.

There is only one consequence of this repulsion, and that is to reduce his longevity.

Escaping from Seven Star Island and coming to Quicksand City, Ye Haotian has encountered danger more than once in the past six months, but he has never used the power of the demon soul, and even endured it when he chased and killed Zhao Laoxi.

Of course, this is related to hiding his identity, but more importantly, the master has told him more than once that once the power of the demon soul is used, it will definitely trigger the divine blood, and then he is very likely to explode and die in an instant.
