Chapter 475: The Ghost Tide Strikes (44)
For the time being, regardless of going deep into the enemy's rear, or even forcing out the opponent's hole card - the sixth-level sail battleship Ghost Ship, and the battle maid Maria who has a sea and air confrontation with the enemy commander "Sea Ghost Queen".
Let's head back to the main battlefield on the Platinum Beach of the Isle of Blood and see how the battle goes......
At this time, there was no one left in front of the Dirt and Stone Pillar Forest Barrier, and according to the plan, there should be a first-echelon meat shield group in the exorcism team to be in front of the Earth and Stone Pillar Forest Barrier, responsible for attracting the attention and hatred of the enemy "Corrupt Fishmen" ghoul army.
It can protect the second echelon of the exorcism team and the armed townspeople of the Isle of Blood, so that they can form a triangle at the bottom of the triangle, and can rely on the barrier in front of them to calmly cast spells and fire output, clearing the flank threat for the meat shield group at the front; In this way, a solid triangular elastic line of defense with the apex angle forward is formed.
No matter how the triangular defense system moves forward and retreat, it must always be ensured that even if the pressure is great, the top corner cannot retreat through the central defense line of the earth and stone pillar forest barrier; Even if the enemy's army retreats and is defeated, the bottom edge of the triangular defense system cannot pass the barrier of the earth-and-stone pillars......
This tactical defensive formation layout was originally very good, but there were a lot of troubles in its execution - first of all, Sima Qiudao, who was originally the first echelon of the exorcism team and a member of the meat shield team, as the only spellcaster in the entire exorcism team who could manipulate the environment to quickly and efficiently arrange the physical barrier defense line, had to build a defense line in advance.
Originally, it was nothing to build a physical barrier defense line, but it couldn't stand the objective needs of the exorcism team to urgently arrange several Yin Barrier Walls to shield the infection and poisoning of the filthy miasma on their own fighters......
In this way, the meat shield group, which has not many manpower, directly lacks a main combat power; In addition, Maria's violent fighting style also caused everyone to be unable to cooperate effectively with her at all, so everyone could only watch Maria fly alone. In this way, the entire exorcism team, the first-echelon meat shield group, can't even get together three people, and Reiko Migami and Tang Long and Father Hiroshi alone can't form a solid triangle defense at all.
In desperation, everyone present had no choice but to completely abandon all the areas in front of the Earth-Stone Pillar Forest Barrier, and after all the members of the exorcism team retreated to this only barrier, they suddenly changed from the original elastic defense counterattack mode to a rigid and conservative rigid defense mode......
However, for the time being, relying on the efforts of everyone in the exorcism team, it seems that the form of defending the defense line of the Earth and Stone Pillar Forest is still relatively optimistic-
The physically weak Shikigami Imperial Envoy Miss Liudao Twilight hides in the No. 3 "Yin Protective Wall" located in the center of the battle line, and the overhead god Gubila (Zi Mouse) uses spiritual communication and visual sharing, and monitors the battlefield with the help of its super vision (perspective magic eye), becoming a humanoid battle line alarm.
(The body of the sub-rat - Gubilla, the body is like a green wolf's tooth mace, which is covered with spines, the hammer head has a large eye, and the handle of the hammer wrapped in a ring-shaped carapace is its tail, and the overall size is not large, and it usually rests on the top of the head of the six twilight after being revealed.) Its ability is to see through the Magic Eye, seeing through illusions and invisibility...... )
In addition, the six twilight also released other gods to assist, such as the god Basala (ugly cow) with its powerful ability to absorb and devour, arranged on a certain side of the earth and stone pillar forest (depending on the direction of the wind) to suck all the filthy miasma that flew over into the stomach, reducing the concentration of filthy miasma over the side, reducing the poison of this miasma pollution to the defenders of the side, when the Shikikshin god Basala (ugly cow) sucked up the filthy miasma, he found no one to expel all the filthy miasma, and then returned to the original position to continue to absorb, This reciprocating cycle allows all defenders on their side to stay out of the wall for as long as possible, increasing their defensive intensity and efficiency.
Because the filthy miasma is not a ghost and will not be digested by Basala, so it can be played like this. Moreover, with its ability to easily devour and digest the soul of the Yin Spirit, it is basically completely immune to negative corrosive evil qi and is not affected at all. After all, the death qi carried by the dead soul is no worse than the current mixed filthy miasma......
(The ugly cow, Basala, has the largest body in the Shikshami, black as a giant potato, with a head and body without neck or limbs, two small round glowing eyes, and small pointed horns on either side of the head.) Its ability is to absorb demons, and it can absorb energy and all kinds of resentful spirits, evil spirits, ghosts, remnants, etc., but although its belly is large, there is also an upper limit, and once it is almost full, the suction will weaken. )
Shikigami Shudora (戌狗), as the only existence in the audience that can be healed without consumption, naturally stays in the rear and is responsible for ambulance duties. (Shudora, a huge Akita dog with a pure white body, with a spell rope and a round jewel jade tied around his neck, is the one who looks the most similar to a normal animal among the twelve zodiac gods.) Its ability is the power of healing, and it heals any pain through ****. )
In addition, Shikigami such as Shikijin Anzira (Uto), Shikigami Ashira (Tatsunayu), Shikikami Shanzira (Snake), Shikigami Hela (Migo), and Shikigami Hela (Migo) are responsible for patrolling behind the entire Dirt and Stone Pillar Forest defense line, and if the "Corrupt Fishmen" ghouls cross the line, they will immediately carry out fire suppression and encirclement operations.
With the beauty god Reiko overseeing the overall situation, the riding god Ndala (afternoon horse) wields a blessed and full of spiritual power magic stick, like a fighting general, a fearless knight roams the whole field, fighting fires everywhere......
(The rabbit is like a short python, but it has slender limbs and sharp ears on the top of its head, which are two and a half meters long.) He has a pair of large eyes and is ochre-red all over. Obviously, the peculiarity lies in the pair of "ears". Its ability to cut and slash targets with ears that are far stronger and sharper than metal swords.
Chenlong, Azira, is a first-born two-horned lizard nearly one meter long, with a dark green body. Its ability is to breathe fire from its mouth and release petrified light from its eyes.
The snake - Sanzira, a python with a blue body and a thin arm. Its ability is to entangle and tether the target, and unleash a super current to shock the target.
The first born of the first horn is like that of a unicorn, but its body is smooth and hairless, and instead has large ring-shaped armor on the horse's neck and back to protect the vulnerable parts. The whole body is purple, even the nail pieces. Its ability to move at high speeds can reach speeds of up to 300 kilometers per hour.
Hela, a half-meter-tall ball of flesh covered in thick pale pink hair, has a pair of large eyes, and two sharp horns on the top of her head. Its ability is the ability to shoot needles and take people into the dream world. )
As for the remaining Shikjin in the zodiac, they will not all be released because it has little effect here, after all, every time a Shikjin is released to the present world, it is necessary to consume the spiritual power of the Shikin envoy, especially when Shikami fights, the spiritual power consumed will increase exponentially. Although this is not a big deal for Rokudo Twigko, who is known as the most powerful god envoy in Tokyo today; However, considering that what they are facing now is a genuine war of attrition, not a simple exorcism commission in the past, Tang Long and Father Hong still suggested that Liudao Twilight should do what he can, and try to avoid unnecessary consumption of power.
Therefore, the six paths of twilight changed the habit of appearing collectively in the 12 zodiac gods no matter what situation they faced, but only released these eight gods.
It can be said that just these Shikjin and the martial arts of Reiko Mijin are indeed enough to be a firefighting team.
In addition, there are also Tang Takashi and Father Hiroshi, the witch Emi Ogasawara, and Dr. Kasos are all good at long-range output, and if they are all at full strength, it should still be possible to hold this Dirt and Stone Pillar Forest defense line (as long as the armed townspeople of the Isle of Blood don't drag themselves too far).
Although after the fire test operation of the battle maid Maria, everyone knows that the real difficult test is actually the wave of charging of the skeleton sailor army led by the "Sea Ghost Queen", so everyone must save their strength in advance.
And the current attack of the "Corrupt Fish-Man" ghoul army is just the abandoned cannon fodder used by the "Sea Ghost Queen" to consume everyone's energy and combat power.
However, it is still the same sentence, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, but the number of "corrupt fishmen" ghouls is too much, and the original flexible defense tactical plan has been forced to give up, and everyone can only use all their strength to desperately maintain the integrity of the defense line of the earth and stone pillar forest, and they can no longer care about retaining their strength.
At such an urgent moment, Sima Qiudao stood in the middle of the Yin Guard, and did not help guard that vital line of defense. One reason is that it is really a loss to set up the position this time......
It takes at least a few minutes to make the most ordinary earth talisman at home, and this westward exorcism trip, calculated, the land talisman alone consumes no less than 200 pieces, and almost empties the original inventory~! This kind of deficit requires five or six hours of continuous drawing just to replenish it, so it doesn't count the consumption of materials and mana. It's even more painful to calculate the loss of other props, so it's time to control the cost anyway......
The second reason is that these "corrupt fish-man" ghouls in front of them are not as good as the soul of the Yin Spirit, even if they are all killed, they can get four or five lower-level origin crystals, and as for the rewards, there are very few, so it is really not worth it to do it yourself, anyway, none of the people present will collect the soul, even if it is to chant the mantra and surpass the soul, in the current situation, no one can have this leisure effort.
Then, if you sit here and sit quietly, you can effortlessly absorb all the remnants of the battlefield and scatter them, so why bother to do it again~?
You know, there are really not many opportunities for this kind of justifiable collection of souls without attracting the attention of the gods and demons who are the guardians of the world.
Otherwise, if you dare to run to the battlefield of any conflicting country to rob your soul with some Taoist secret arts, you will definitely be treated as an extraterritorial demon who has invaded this world and is chased to death by gods and demons.
Just as no matter which main material world will not welcome the arrival of the old ruler or the evil god of the outer land, once the clues are found or the horse's feet are exposed, they will face the greatest malice and murder from the world~!
If there are gods and demons as guardians, it is those gods and demons who are responsible for guarding the land to take action personally, and if there are no gods and demons as guardians, it is the world itself that descends heaven and earth to kill and rob you endlessly......
In this world, Sima Qiudao didn't dare to make a mistake at all......
If you are attacked, and you fight back in self-defense and kill your opponent, it is natural to take their souls; However, once the large-scale soul harvesting mode is turned on, not to mention a stowaway traveler like himself, even the original gods and demons of this world will be responsible for retribution~! Souls, or souls, are the most precious resources in the multiverse, and they are absolute for any world.
BESIDES, IN THE CURRENT SITUATION, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT EVERYONE ELSE CAN STILL HOLD IT, SO SIMA QIUDAO MADE A FORTUNE IN A MUFFLED VOICE WITH PEACE OF MIND AND ACTED IN A LOW-KEY MANNER.
On the battlefield, the armed townspeople of the Isle of Blood are obviously not as brave as they were just now after they did not have the GS master of the exorcism team to use their meat shields to attract the enemy's hatred and attention......
The momentum of the "Corrupt Fish-Man" ghouls is really beyond the reach of civilians like them, and the lethality of shotguns and shotguns is indeed not comparable to that of regular military weapons, and this gap is not only manifested in terms of destructive power, but also in the efficiency of reloading ammunition......
In many cases, these armed civilians are not shooting with shotguns and shotguns, but more often using temporary cold weapons to fight head-on with the "Corrupt Fishmen" ghouls who rushed through the earth and stone pillar forest, which means that they are all Blood Daywalkers, and they are supported by the secret treasures of the Blood Clan buried underground, so they can carry out the "Bloody Splitting Friends" league activities with a meagre number of one hundred and fifty thousands of "Corrupt Fishmen" ghouls on the opposite side......
Every scene of brutality continues to be played out on the front line of the Pillar of Earth, with mutilation, flesh, blood, reddened eyes, curled weapons, gunshots, and the cries of the living and the undead against each other. Occasionally, someone slashed and fought to the point of selflessness, and pursued deep into the crevices of the earth and stone pillar forest, and then of course, surrounded by claws far greater than their own (there were not many gaps, too many ghouls could not squeeze in, so they had to stretch their arms and paws through) surrounded on all sides, dragged, torn, and even pounced and bitten.
Fortunately, the whole front is not too long, and there are always some comrades who find out about the crisis, and several people rush forward together, desperately injured, and desperately drag the unlucky guy who is not sober in his mind back, avoiding the terrible fate of being divided and eaten......
The flesh and blood are not only paid for unilaterally, but the new situation arises from armed civilians. Exhausted, exhausted, overspent and poisoned by the foul-smelling miasma, there were more than one people who suddenly fell to the ground in battle. Some have even been trampled by their companions as fallen ghouls, and their clothes dyed bright red and stained with flesh and mud are not easily distinguishable in the night, resulting in an unfortunate temporary death.
