Chapter 61: Embers of the Wildfire
The wind did not disappear as Ye Zilan stopped casting the spell, and the air flow driven by the spell continued to blow in the northwest direction due to inertia, and the originally boundless shrubs and jungles became less visible to the naked eye in the mountain fire and turned into ashes.
When the fire burns out these bushes, they make their way to the canyon, and they will face the legendary Akatsuki Demon for real! He Ming began to get excited, holding the giant sword in his hand tightly, looking forward to another epic battle with some trembling.
The wildfire is still spreading, and the team here is already moving forward while clearing the ashes, and I don't know who sighed: "Such good ashes, it's worth it to plant crops." ”
Ye Zilan said: "This is exactly what we have to do, the evil entrenched here has been eliminated, and there is no problem in planting whatever you want." ”
Everyone present felt a burst of excitement, and the efficiency of the action increased. The burnt bushes were mixed with the remains of many spiders who had fled in a hurry, burned to pieces, and scorched.
With the exception of a few spiders that reacted very quickly, most of them were burned by the incredibly fast spreading flames. This means that when they get out of this land of ashes, there won't be too many spiders in charge.
While clearing a path from the ashes, they hurried to move towards the direction of the canyon, infected by Ye Zilan, they were full of confidence and high morale.
I don't know how many ashes they have waded through, and when they got closer and closer to the Akatsuki Canyon, they suddenly found that with a line not far from the canyon as the boundary, the bushes there did not even have any traces of burning, and on their side, they were burned cleanly, and there was not a single plant left.
Just as they had used their magic to burn the entire bush, it had been protected by unknown magic and had not been damaged in the slightest, but fortunately, through the bushes in their field of vision, the Akatsuki Canyon could already be seen.
And the spiders that escaped in the jungle are undoubtedly hiding over there, how many can there be? No one dares to guess, only that if these guys still have any intelligence, they will definitely mobilize all their strength to take revenge on them.
Ye Zilan didn't dare to move forward rashly, she commanded people to attack the remaining bushes, trying to clear a way, but whether it was a fireball technique or a rune paper, flying over it was like hitting the air, directly through the bushes, failing to cause damage.
These shrubs don't seem to exist, but anyone with the slightest sense of crisis can feel that there are endless spiders hidden in them.
After looking down and thinking for a while, Ye Zilan chanted a spell, then raised her hands, and a brilliant rain of flames and fire came out of her hands, and a burst of fire rain sprinkled on the bushes over there, and then printed a piece of fire red over there.
Sure enough, the plants were not harmed by the magic, but they emitted all kinds of burning sounds and the terrifying sound of countless spiders moving around, and countless spiders poured out of the bushes with a commotion.
Most of these animals have been burned, He Ming doesn't know if they are full of hatred for the humans who set the fire, but now it is obvious that they will not live in peace with people, I can't tell if there are hundreds of spiders surrounding people, and at this time, Ye Zilan's voice made everyone hear it really:
"Stand back, spread out in the middle, skeletons in the middle of the warriors, and the beasts come forward, get out of the way and let them attack me! There is a Taoist priest who rushed over to attack first, and Qingluo is looking for a powerful individual to poison! ”
This time there was no more chaos, everyone performed their duties under the command of Ye Zilan, quickly found their positions, and cooperated with each other, there was no chaos, there was indeed no timid person present.
The spiders have been immersed in the magic of this Red Moon Canyon all year round, and they like to attack targets with abundant magic power, and Ye Zilan, who is full of magic power, is indeed their primary target.
Several spiders rushed towards Ye Zilan at once, but they were directly killed by the fire talisman on the road, and it was rare that two faster spiders still forcibly rushed in front of Ye Zilan through the gap deliberately left.
They were chopped up before they could make any attacks, and He Ming was extremely careful to defend by Ye Zilan's side.
Almost all the spiders gathered here, although their numbers are simply boundless, but there are too many of them, in front of the humans who are waiting for the battle, only a very few can enter the battle, so that the battle will be dragged on for a long time.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for some spiders to start leaving because they couldn't join the battle, and it seems that these animals don't have the organization of the army.
Just as the first batch of wolf spiders, the pattern spiders, left, some of the spiders began to stir. With the sound of staggering footsteps, a black-palate spider king appeared among several spiders.
This is a spider that can make people stand upside down just by looking at it, with a small front body, supporting two slender black palate teeth that are the length of its body, a red and black body, a tail bulging like a ball full of red tumors, and several spiders around him just blocked the line of people's attacks.
After the appearance of the Black-Jawed Spider King, these spiders were no longer separated, and even some of the spiders who had left the team returned to the encirclement.
He Ming realized that every time it raised its long palatal teeth and swung them down, several spiders would rush towards the human formation, and this time it would no longer only rush towards Ye Zilan, but directly pounce on the warriors in the outer circle.
The warriors and skeletons were attacking with all their might, barely blocking them, but such a frontal impact could cause some damage to the people every time, and once the battle line was opened, the people could not support it for long.
From time to time, there are also moon demon spiders with wings and poisonous gases rushing up and exploding. Although Ye Zilan accurately killed them every time to prevent its poisonous gas from spreading to the crowd, the current scene only relied on these people on the battlefield to fight against the spiders who had commands and had a huge gap in numbers, and I was afraid that it would not last long.
Ye Zilan tried to send out three magic attacks to hit the black-jawed spider king directly, but the thunderbolt technique avoided it when it cast the spell, and the fireball and the freeze were blocked by the spider next to it.
Watch as the Blackjawed Spider King commands the spiders to rush towards them again, this time as many as a dozen. Even Ye Zilan was a little anxious to watch the game.
She suddenly asked He Ming beside her, "How fast can you be in the fastest situation?" ”
He Ming said: "To be honest, I haven't tried. ”
Ye Zilan asked, "Then can you rush to the side of that spider king with all your strength?" ”
He Ming said: "It's not a big problem, but I don't think the ones around it will let me rush to its side at full speed." ”
Ye Zilan said: "I told you to rush at you, don't worry about anything else, can you do it?" ”
He Ming replied without hesitation: "Yes!" ”
When he saw the disgusting black-jawed spider king raise one of his palatal teeth high again, Ye Zilan said, "He Ming, go on!" At the same time, he threw two large fireballs.
He Ming was already ready to go, just waiting for this order. Hearing the sound, he immediately imitated the feeling he felt when facing the Vorma Sect Master, and then ignored everything and rushed towards the black-jawed spider king, swinging a thunderbolt and crashing into it with a gust of wind.
The Black-Jawed Spider King had just raised his palatal teeth and once again commanded a group of spiders to rush into the crowd, but he didn't give other instructions in time, and the two spiders in front of him had been burned by Ye Zilan's fireball at the same time.
He Ming bumped into it in a matter of seconds, almost hitting its terrifying black fangs himself.
Fortunately, this black-jawed spider king, who was as timid as a mouse in people's eyes, was not frightened by He Ming's swift charge, not only did it not flee in a panic, or summoned the spider to besiege He Ming, but took a step forward to attack He Ming with its palatal teeth, otherwise He Ming's impact could only be in vain.
Maybe at this time, its request for help will destroy its prestige and cause the other spiders to be dissatisfied, but no matter what, for the time being, there is no spider king to command the spider army to attack Ye Zilan and them.
He Ming thought that he was already very strong, and when he entered the all-out battle and forgot all foreign objects, his speed reached the level where he could not catch it, but when he slashed out, he was blocked by the black-jawed spider with a bang, and he Ming was shocked back several steps.
He Ming tried to attack it on the side, but found that it once again took the first step to block the way with one side of the palate tooth, and the blade-like palate tooth slashed over, He Ming suddenly sped up a section this time, dodging these two attacks, but still failed to find a chance to attack.
He doesn't have a chance doesn't mean that the spider will give him a chance, the spider who reacted finally surrounded him, there was no point in any tricks, He Ming gave up everything, and split it head-on with all his might, hoping for a miracle in his heart!
With a bang, his earth-shattering sword was more effective than the previous ones, and the black-jawed spider king blocked a blow with both teeth, but he was still repelled a little, but he was unharmed, and the other spiders also surrounded him.
He Ming's mind was running fast, and when he was thinking about how to deal with this situation, suddenly a one-man thick lightning hit the Black-Jawed Spider King, and the terrifying current swept He Ming and the Spider King into it together, and even the nearby spiders who were preparing to support the Black-Jawed Spider King were affected, and the brush was shocked by the current for a long distance.
Under this devastating electric shock, one of the pair of palatal teeth of the Black-Jawed Spider King was burned to a brittle, and then it was crushed by He Ming.
He Ming didn't stop doing anything, went up and cut his upper body directly into two pieces with a sword, and while turning around and rushing back to the crowd, he showed two rows of snow-white teeth on his black face:
"Ye Zilan, I succeeded! Kill the Spider King! ”
In a burst of "Wow, he's still alive!" "You won't be so quick to cheat the corpse to seek revenge!" "The last time I saw a zombie in the mine, I didn't have a face as black as his." In the noisy voice, He Ming ran to Ye Zilan's side with a happy smile:
"Ye Zilan, you really live up to your reputation, and even I know that I have an unexplained anti-demon physique!"
Ye Zilan's eyes flickered, and he said to He Ming with some embarrassment:
"I really didn't mean it this time, that guy is ADHD, it's rare that you held it up so that it couldn't move, I just thundered over, and I forgot to control it in a hurry."
If you control the strength well, I'll be miserable if you don't kill it! He Ming muttered in his heart, and then said, "It's good that the problem is solved now, it's awesome!" You see more and more spiders are running away! ”
The spiders that survived the wildfires were originally incomplete, with various burns. And now these humans are obviously not cost-effective prey for predators, and once the black-jawed spider king who commands it dies, there are very few spiders that can continue to attack them at any cost.
After two more rounds of defense, there weren't many spiders left between them and Akatsuki Canyon now.
Sweeping away the ashes, they rested on the ground, there were quite a few Taoist priests present, injuries and poisoning were not a problem, and it was easy to solve them.
Ye Zilan said: "Although the spiders have mutated, most of the spiders are still natural creatures and will not attack us in an organized manner. And the black-jawed spider, steel-toothed spider, and the poisonous moon demon spider we killed just now have completely different breaths. ”
He Ming said, "They should be completely controlled by the Red Moon Demon, so those terrifying steel-toothed spiders will gather over there to attack us in groups." ”
Ye Zilan nodded: "Tianzun has told us very little information, and the demons in the canyon can mutate the spiders in the entire canyon, but they have not expanded towards the White Sun Gate until recently, and there are many things that are not clear here." I guess I'll have to go into the canyon to figure it out. ”
Qingluo said: "The canyon is right in front of us, we are completely obedient to your command, Master Ye Zilan!" ”
Ye Zilan said: "Everyone, if you have rested, you will be ready to go, and I can't make any guarantees when I get here." The enemies in the canyon may not force their way to attack me like the spiders, and the formation remains the same, but you must be flexible and deal with it carefully. ”
Everyone stood up, and He Ming, who had already wiped his face clean, stood beside Ye Zilan as usual, and Ye Zilan, who didn't see the slightest difference in his face, suddenly asked him: "If I let you perform a dangerous mission again, will you still go?" ”
He Ming said resolutely: "Yes!" ”
Ye Zilan looked at him and turned his head towards the Red Moon Canyon: "Let's go!" ”
