The second update! 4,000 words are presented! Then the style will change back to the previous more relaxed and pleasant mode, and it's really nerve-wracking to write these battle descriptions~~~~
———————————————————————————————
A few kilometers away from the city gate, the Black Scale Legion at the front collided head-on with the beast tide; Since the beast tide did not invade all, most of them did not keep up, resulting in the earliest beast groups that appeared this time were all demon beasts with relatively long-lasting movement agility and endurance, but weak defense.
The number is about 100,000, which is far from a threat.
Most of these monsters are wolves and other cats and canines, and their strength is generally not high, and most of them are hovering between one star and two stars;
These low-level demon beasts were driven by high-level demon beasts, and they had to keep desperately rushing forward, but with the words of these low-level demon beasts, they could not pose a threat to Kuroki City, which had such a city wall.
The Blackscales did not ride mounts, as they were faster than normal mounts for short distances; In an instant, I saw that this legion, which exuded infinite killing intent, was about to make contact with the beast tide army at the moment when it was about to turn into zero.
Scattered into dozens of black torrents, like black blades, fiercely plunged into the defense line of the beasts.
Almost none of the strength of these demon beasts is their unity, just like chopping melons and vegetables, easily dividing a large group of beast tides into dozens of parts; Then, every 100 or 10 people were in small teams, and they carried out a frenzied slaughter of the herd.
Tens of thousands of city guards with spears in their right hands and shields in their right hands arrived; They followed closely behind the Black Scale Legion, and when they saw the former's might, all of them couldn't help but boost their morale;
With the commander's order, every thousand people quickly formed a square formation, and steadily advanced side by side.
"Holding !!"
With a deafening order, all the men put their spears under their ribs in unison, and the tips of the spears were held flat in front of them; At the same time, the shield in his left hand was across his chest, and all the faces of all the people were extremely calm.
"Advance !!"
As the command sounded again, these city guards suddenly began to make a small-scale sprint, and at the moment of contact with the beast tide, they "stabbed !! With a final roar, the might of the regular army was suddenly revealed.
The offensive method of flowing water side counter is one of the most commonly used modes in the army; After the first round of standing in line stabbed a shot, regardless of the result, he quickly turned sideways to collect the spear; There are members of the second platoon who are responsible for parrying, defending and attacking, and like sophisticated instruments, they carry out the killing in an assembly line.
Patches of beasts fell like wheat, one after another; Even if he occasionally encounters a stronger demon beast, in the face of such a formation, he can only toss for a while, and then he has no choice but to fall down;
With the Black Scale Legion acting as a sharp knife in front of them, an area was cleared in an instant.
The members and mercenaries who followed the group of various forces, seeing that the city guard regiment were all mighty, couldn't help but be stimulated by the blood boiling, and screamed and pounced on the beasts; The difference between them and the army corps is that the former is superior in numbers and combined attacks.
Perhaps let these guards fight them separately, and few of them will be their opponents, but when they are combined, the result will be a different situation; The latter is that many of them are body refining cultivators, and the strength of the single body is strong, but they are all fighting on their own, and they can easily be surrounded and helpless to die.
There are pros and cons between the two, and it is almost impossible for these unruly mercenaries to have strict discipline and military discipline like the regular army;
If the regular army also had the general strength of mercenaries, then the Black Scale Legion would not be so precious, and the Terrans would not be so miserable.
For a while, the battle was in full swing, due to the general low strength of the demon beasts that were driven by high-level demon beasts as cannon fodder, the offensive of the human side was suddenly like a tide, and everyone in the four sides was full of pride.
But as the battle continued, some powerful demon beasts began to appear everywhere frequently; As time passed, the number of demon beasts that gradually rushed in also increased, and the casualties began to rise.
Among them, the most eye-catching are the powerful small teams; Liu Ming, along with the members of the Tianfeng Squad, fought all over the battlefield;
They understood that killing these low-level demon beasts had little effect on them, and if they wanted to get more combat merits, they had to kill stronger demon beasts.
Therefore, they constantly wandered around the battlefield, looking for suitable targets, and took the route of elite soldiers;
Liu Ming broke through the Triple Heaven of Body Refining, and his strength has leapfrogged again, even if he faces Huayu directly, he will not feel struggling, recalling the shock and helplessness of encountering this kind of strong person at the beginning, he can't help but sigh in his heart.
In today's team, the strongest ones are him and Huayu, and the top strength of the team has increased a lot; Especially Liu Ming, who is holding a sword of residual blood, has a lethality far above Huayu;
At this time, Liu Ming could clearly feel that every time he killed a demon beast, the remnant blood sword in his hand would tremble slightly after drinking blood, and then a subtle pure aura would pour into his body, allowing him to maintain a steady stream of power.
At this time, Liu Ming was even more sure that the extraordinaryness of this remnant blood sword must have some kind of mystery in it; However, this is beneficial to him, and of course he will not refuse, and he will accept it all.
So far, there are four three-star-level demon beasts that have died in their hands, and there are even fewer three-level demon beasts;
It can be said that it is a good harvest, the battle at this time is not the time of individual heroism, when encountering these powerful demon beasts, everyone gathers to besiege and end the battle in the shortest time.
At this time, Hua Yu, who had been paying attention to the overall dynamics, shouted: "Everyone, pay attention, a big fish has missed from the Black Scale Legion in front, it seems to be a red-striped demon lion, good guy, this is a five-star level demon beast!" ”
"It's coming in our direction!"
"Captain, shall we avoid it?"
Liu Ming looked intently, and sure enough, following the position pointed by Hua Yu, he could see a monster beast with a huge body, covered with red hair, and a mouth full of sharp teeth, just like the same bulldozer, frantically "fleeing" in their direction?
Yes, that's right! is fleeing; Liu Ming could see that this demon lion's body was scarred, and the blood was constantly flowing from its body, obviously although it was under the focus of the Black Scale Legion, although it had broken through their defense, it was also seriously injured.
Liu Ming turned his head and glanced at Hua Yu, and they both saw madness in each other's eyes; "Do you want to do it?" Hua Yu's lips were a little dry and asked; All the members gathered to look at Liu Ming, and their breathing gradually became shorter.
Everyone knows in their hearts what this seriously injured demon lion represents, a five-star level demon beast! What is the level of merit that can be redeemed? This was originally a powerful demon beast that they could only dodge from afar, but at this time, it was a chance to fight.
As long as it succeeds, the benefits are enough to make anyone feel red!
Liu Ming, as one of the two strongest in the team at this time, his personal opinion is obviously extremely important; Looking at the eager eyes cast by everyone, Liu Ming smiled evilly: "Why not? We can't miss the credit for the door! ”
Liu Ming's eyes flashed with fierce battle intent, he had been slaughtering low-level demon beasts, which was too boring and boring for him; He longs for a showdown with the strong, and this is the path that suits him best! This high-level demon beast Crimson Demon Lion that appeared in time was undoubtedly a good choice.
This red-striped demon lion was originally a hegemon-level demon beast, and the first wave of attack of the beast tide this time, that is, its strength was the highest;
But before it could wreak havoc, it finally encountered the resistance of the Black Scale Legion; Facing the resistance of several hundred-man teams and the incompatible Black Scale Army, even with its strength, it could only flee in embarrassment, and finally escaped narrowly after being seriously injured.
After the stomach was full of resentment, after breaking it out of the encirclement of the Black Scale Army, it suddenly vented its anger in a frenzied manner; Along the way, many people died under its rage; All of them had no choice but to retreat, avoiding the killing of this high-level demon beast.
"Run, with our strength, we can't compete with it at all!"
"Damn, how did this red-striped demon lion appear?"
Just when all the people were encountering it and scattering and fleeing, several figures faced each other and fiercely blocked the mad pace of the demon lion.
"Look, isn't this Tianfeng Huayu and his team members? How dare they provoke this demon lion? The members of the group of forces and mercenaries who were thrown around couldn't help but stop at this time, looking at the figures facing the red-striped demon lion in shock.
"Is the one standing with Huayu the little white-faced Liu Ming?" Wow!!! At this time, everyone couldn't help but be in an uproar, and their eyes were full of disbelief;
I saw Liu Ming, who was called a little white face by them, like a swift cheetah, wielding the pitch-black bloodless sword in his hand, and fiercely collided with the demon lion.
Under the shocked eyes of everyone, the almost unstoppable demon lion couldn't help but howl in pain, and its body suddenly retreated, roaring angrily at Liu Ming;
On its small truck-like body, a long wound deep into the bone marrow appeared on its back, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
This is a rush between Liu Ming and Hua Yu, Hua Yu and the other members attract the attention of this demon lion head-on, and Liu Ming relies on his more and more amazing speed, and suddenly explodes ruthlessly;
Because of the repeated battles and the heavy injuries, the Demon Lion has reduced a lot in all aspects such as reflexes and strength.
In the next battle, the demon lion frantically counterattacked Liu Ming, but in view of the contrast between the two figures, and Liu Ming's increasingly ghostly and fast speed at this time, he couldn't even touch his shadow;
seems to hate Liu Ming very much, even if the demon lion is like this, he will let other people attack, and recognize Liu Ming to pursue him to the death.
But this doomed it to a tragic end, how could the extremely injured Demon Lion withstand this siege, a large amount of blood loss can make it fatal, and how can Hua Yu and the other members of the Tianfeng Squad be mediocre?
After a while, countless wounds were added to its body, and its body gradually swayed.
In the end, Liu Ming was embarrassed and dodged for a long time, and finally found this opportunity, and in the flash of his body, the black long sword in his hand stabbed into the neck of the demon lion; Between the backhand turns, the sharp blade directly rotated in a circle, cutting off the huge head of the demon lion.
Suddenly, the huge body of the demon lion fell to the ground with a bang, and Feng Huayu took out a small knife, and after tinkering with the corpse for a while, he dug out an egg-sized demon pill, and under the gaze of everyone, he took it into his arms.
Then everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at the field, Liu Ming, who stood proudly in front of the huge corpse of the demon lion with a sword, and his shocked eyes kept flashing from their eyes;
I didn't expect Liu Ming's strength to be so strong, which seemed to have greatly improved when he fought with the red scorpion.
Presumably, after this battle, Liu Ming will once again become a hot topic in people's mouths and become the object of more people's attention.
Looking at the huge corpse of the demon lion falling to the ground, everyone couldn't help but feel a burst of hot eyes; understand what an amazing interest this represents; But after Liu Ming's calm gaze looked around for a week, he couldn't help but feel a tingling on his scalp, dispelling this unrealistic idea.
"Humph!" Liu Ming let out a cold snort, wanting to snatch food from the tiger's mouth, weigh his own strength, and then talk about it!
"Boy Liu, good job!" Hua Yu excitedly came over and patted Liu Ming's shoulder; This time, the income can catch up with the total income they made when they went to the Hengduan Mountain Range, and the higher the level of the demon beast killed, the more abundant the harvest!
"Let's get out first!" Liu Ming looked around for a week, and couldn't help frowning. He didn't like to be watched like a monkey.
At this moment, a sound of clapping hands sounded in the clear, and Liu Ming looked back and saw a group of people walking straight towards them;
At the head was a young man dressed in black and a gorgeous girl, followed by a group of guards dressed as guards, surrounded by a strong aura on their bodies.
The young man at the head slapped his palms, and a handsome face that seemed to be full of smiles was full of smiles, and after seeing that he had attracted the attention of Liu Ming and others, he couldn't help but smile even brighter:
"Wonderful! Wonderful! You must be members of the Skywind Squad, right? Sure enough, it is a group of masters with good strength! But even if that's the case, you shouldn't snatch the prey in your hands and put it in your own pocket, right? ”
A trace of coldness flashed in Liu Ming's eyes, although he expected that the benefits would attract people's eyes, but he didn't expect that after he and others showed their strong strength, they still didn't give up, and someone really rushed to find fault!
Look for death! I can't blame myself for this!
