Chapter 195
More than half of the beasts had fallen to the ground not far from the woods, pushed from their charred skin
"The Moyun Elephant, the long-armed white ape, the two-horned rhinoceros, the wind-chasing wolf, the flying squirrel, and the scorpion dragon beast like you have not appeared, even if we can still occasionally see one or two in the past few decades guarding the border city. ”
Zhang Zhao didn't know what the previous beast tide was like, he looked at the sea of fire that had been connected under the city, and felt that even if those fierce beasts really appeared as Commander Guo said, it would not have any effect: "Uncle, the beast tide has broken through dozens of cities, have they all been killed by those people?"
Ye Qinghe nodded: "It makes sense, when we reject the beasts of the Nine Shadows, we all concentrate on killing the huge beasts first. When Commander Guo heard this, he also felt that it might be because of this: "I can't say for sure, I'll take a look." ”
He stared at it for a while and then turned his head: "Shaoxia, I still feel that something is wrong, the fire oil in our city is condescending, although it can only be thrown a few miles at the farthest, it should be enough to reach the woods over there." ”
"Look at those burning trees, why do I think this fire hasn't continued to burn to the west?" Commander Guo took a deep breath: "The smell of burnt wood is much lighter, and it stands to reason that the wind is not strong, so it should continue to burn." ”
Everyone paid attention to the beasts that kept rushing into the flames under the city, and no one paid attention to the distant woods. Listening to what Commander Guo said, Zhang Zhao really felt that the fire in the distance was smaller, and there were no more injured beasts on those beasts that rushed over again.
Several sect masters heard Zhang Zhao's reminder and disagreed: "There are hundreds of thousands of barrels of fire oil in our city, and if you throw them below, you will have to burn them for at least a few days and nights. ”
Until nightfall, the crazy actions of the beast tide moths to the fire did not stop. The ditches on the ground in front of the city were filled with oil, and in the darkness of the night the fire was as bright as day.
Worried that the beast tide would have some abnormal means, Aoki Castle kept throwing oil barrels, and all the soldiers and cultivators kept watch for a whole night, and when the sky was bright, the tide-like beasts continued to rush into the sea of fire.
Stretching, Yan Wuxi shook his head and sighed: "Although we have a lot of fire oil in the Nine Shadows, it is only used to separate the beasts, and it is really reluctant to throw it for a day and a night like you......"
Commander Guo looked up at the situation where the oil drums kept throwing out, and immediately shouted: "Ah, Shaoxia, you quickly ask them to stop throwing fire oil, if they are all ......" Zhang Zhao looked up, and sure enough, there were few traces of dense black smoke in the air.
"It's too late, it's gone. With his sigh, a sharp beast roar came from under the city, and the endless tide of beasts suddenly stopped their momentum and retreated, far away from the range of the flames on the ground.
"This ...... , are they just going to use up our oil?" Everyone in the city noticed the abnormal behavior of the beast tide, and then they all laughed: "In the end, it's still a beast, and it can be faster to rush in all directions?"
The ground fire oil stretched for miles and was mixed with countless beast corpses, and it should be very early before it was extinguished. The elders of each faction watched for a while, and were about to sit down to rest, when they felt a slight vibration, they immediately became vigilant and looked forward through the firelight.
"Boom ......" a low sound came out one after another, but there was no giant beast in front of them, and when everyone was full of doubts, the city wall under their feet trembled slightly, followed by a large cloud of dust and smoke rising into the sky, and no one could see what was happening.
When the dust cleared, everyone in the city was stunned, and only the smoke curled within a radius of several miles, and the billowing flames were all extinguished. Then they realized that the ground had sunk a lot, and that the burning oil and the charred black beast corpses had been buried under the earth.
"That's ...... , gnawing on the soil black porpoise, there are so many. Looking at the pointed monsters that burrowed into the black scales from time to time in the pit below, the cultivators who knew this thing came to their senses. The thick skin of the black dolphin can open a hole in the ground that is several miles long, and hundreds of thousands of heads gathered together, and they turned over this large area of land in an instant.
The smoke of the fire had cleared, and everyone could see the situation in the distance, from the city to the edge of the woods miles away, where the oil could be thrown, had been cleaned, and the burning trees had long since fallen to prevent the fire from spreading.
Seeing such a scene, Chang Qingzi and several sect masters all turned around: "Do the two city lords know how deep this aardvark can dig into the ground?" Of course, the city lord Xu in a green robe understood what they meant: "Rest assured, the aardvark is not a demon beast, five or six feet into the ground is already the limit, and the foundation of the green wood city wall is several zhang deep, and they can't drill through." ”
The ground was extinguished, and the distant beasts rushed up again, and seeing the overwhelming beasts quickly gathering closer and closer, some of the soldiers in the city turned pale and showed fear.
"A bunch of cunning brutes, come, give them a taste of something awesome. Seeing that the morale was a little low, Mo Feng smiled and stood up: "Throw a few down, let everyone see the power of this thing." ”
The disciples of the Mo family agreed to hold a few Flame Divine Thunder and put them on the cart, and then they stood in a triangular position, their hands lit up with light and at the same time pressed several runes engraved on the Flame Divine Thunder.
When the black flame divine thunder silently revealed fine red and yellow light lines, the Mo family disciple stepped back and flicked the cart mechanism, and five or six dazzling round balls flew out of the city for dozens of feet, falling straight towards the beasts under the city.
"Puffy ......" sounded continuously, and the beasts under the city quickly dodged, and several balls that seemed to be of great weight all fell to the ground, and the runes on them changed color back and forth but there was no movement.
The crowd stared expectantly for a few moments, and even the beasts carefully rounded the ball on the ground. But to everyone's disappointment, nothing happened until the runes on several Flame God Thunders had dimmed.
"Is it over? This is a new gadget worth five immortal crystals?" Everyone looked at Mo Feng in surprise: "Elder Mo, did you let the family cheat?"
More and more beasts gathered under the city wall and roared in unison with their heads raised, the black balls were already submerged, and just as everyone was about to withdraw their gaze, a few dazzling lights suddenly shone out from the herd.
"Tom tom tom ......" seemed to explode a few brilliant fireworks on the flat ground, but none of the sparks flew upward, and the red and yellow flames all bent and shot out against the ground.
The countless fragments of runic light that burst out of the black ball were colorful and dazzling, and they screeched through one beast after another, and wisps of smoke immediately erupted from the whole body of the fierce beasts that were stained by the rune flames, and soon turned into a shriveled and curled mass of charred skin and dry bones.
In a few breaths, all the beasts within dozens of feet around the Flame God Thunder fell to the ground and died. Although there were no loud flames left, the rest of the living beasts were so frightened that they retreated far away, keeping a hundred feet away from the city wall, not daring to get any closer than half a step.
"The Essence Burning Talisman can destroy the essence and blood and dry up the flesh and skin of the whole body, you have a spell in your body to resist it, these beasts are not so good. Mo Feng was proud: "Although the rune is simple, but thousands of Dao gathered together to sense the explosion of the surrounding living creatures, five immortal crystals are still worth it." ”
Seeing that each ball could easily bring down thousands of fierce beasts, the hearts of the people in the city were full of encouragement. Although the fire oil was exhausted, these thousands of divine thunders were enough to kill and injure most of the beasts under the city.
"Tom tom ......" There was a faint sound of heavy footsteps shaking the ground in the distance, and Commander Guo suddenly turned pale and muttered to himself: "It's coming, it's really here this time." ”
Miles away, the branches of the dense jungle shook and their leaves fell, and hundreds of tall white elephants slowly walked out of the forest. Thousands of sturdy brown bears and apes followed, and there were tens of thousands of rhinoceros giant wolves, all sorts of things, no less than what Commander Guo had just said.
"Good guy, where are so many demon beasts here, no wonder those cities can't hold on. Everyone's expressions suddenly became solemn, and even the Yin and Yang cultivators who had lived for more than a hundred years could not be underestimated. Judging from the number of these demon beasts in front of him, it was enough to match the strength of more than 10,000 Yin and Yang cultivators.
"Don't worry, no matter how many demon beasts there are, they can't be as empty as us, not to mention tens of thousands, even if hundreds of thousands of demon beasts arrive, they can only stay in the city and be beaten to death. ”
The laughter of the cultivators of the various sects fell silent again before it could be fully heard, as if hearing their ridicule, countless falcons turned into a dark and dreary dark cloud in response, and in the blink of an eye, it had covered the sky above Aoki Castle.
"Young man, you tell everyone not to be scared, the beasts under the city can't come now, raise the crossbow arrows and aim them at the sky. Seeing that the people in the city were slow to react, Commander Guo hurriedly shouted at the top of his throat: "How many are shot, if you wait for them to reach our heads and then send crossbow arrows, you will hurt yourself." ”
Among the cultivators of various factions, there are not a few who have seen the beast tide, but when they were young, they were all dispatched to defend a city and had no command experience, not to mention that the number of beasts in front of them was a hundred times more than at that time, and when it came to improvisation, it was really not as good as Commander Guo, who led the soldiers to defend the border city for decades.
"Quickly raise the crossbow arrows......" When Zhang Zhao pulled Guo Tong to Changqingzi and a few people to explain the situation, the noisy hawk and falcon cries had sounded in everyone's ears, and the soldiers in the city were in a hurry to adjust the direction of the crossbow arrows, but they couldn't align the angle.
"Hey......" A desolate warrior stepped forward, his arms vigorously lifting the heavy crossbow above his head, and his companions and cultivators of various factions followed suit, and nearly a thousand crossbows clicked and fired at the sky diagonally above.
Like a black snowfall, a large number of eagles and falcons circled and fell to the ground from the air, and the crossbow arrows shot in the air fell to the beast tide below the city and killed and injured many wild beasts, and for a time the sky and the earth were full of terrible beasts howling and birdsong.
"Rumbling ......" The thunderous sound came from afar, and although the eagle falcon in the air was temporarily blocked by the crossbow arrows in the sky, the fierce demon beasts behind the hundreds of Moyun white elephants accelerated and rushed towards them. The herd in front of them generally parted on both sides at low tide, and thousands of two-horned rhinoceros lined up in a horizontal line several miles long, gradually increasing their speed and advancing bravely towards the city wall in front.
This spectacular scene made the hearts of everyone in the city beat like a drum, and the crossbow arrows fired densely could not penetrate the thick skin of the rhinoceros at all, and the dust and smoke on the ground like waves were pushed to the bottom of the city wall in a blink of an eye, and then the heavy impact sounded in a row, and the entire Aoki Castle trembled slightly.
"Cast ......" Mo Feng issued an order to his disciples in time, and dozens of flame divine thunders flew down the city with runic light, and exploded one after another before the two-horned rhinoceros could retreat.
Countless flaming runes burst out in all directions, and smoke began to rise from the bodies of nearly a hundred rhinoceros, but these strong demon beasts forced themselves to retreat and line up, spraying pink blood mist from their mouths and noses and slamming into the city wall again.
After slamming three or four times in a row, the two-horned rhinoceros that had been hit by the Flame Divine Thunder gradually fell to the ground with exhaustion, seeing this situation, Mo Feng turned around with a gloomy face and waved his hand, and the ten mechanical figures stepped forward neatly, aiming their arms at the demon beasts that were rushing under the city.
Taking a deep breath in his mouth, Mo Feng stepped up to the city wall, a faint light flashed between the ten fingers of his hands and waved out to the left and right, and under his spiritual power, the twenty crystal rune cannons on the arms of the ten machine men emitted a cluster of white light and landed on the demon beasts below.
"Whoa......" The two-horned rhinoceros that was shot by the crystal rune cannon roared earth-shatteringly, seeing that their skin was open but they were not dead and still rushed desperately, Mo Feng's face trembled lightly a few times: "It's too far away, you can't die." ”
Hundreds of flame divine thunderbolts fell one after another, and the two-horned rhinoceros suffered heavy casualties, and the formation was scattered and unable to rush into the city wall again. Seeing that the falcon in the air could not break through the dense rain of arrows and gradually fell out of the range of the crossbow, the soldiers in the city raised their arms and shouted.
Hundreds of white elephants slowly arrived, raising their forefeet on the city wall in a tacit manner, waiting for the giant ape brown bear behind to jump on their backs, and then rolled up with their proboscis and threw them hard.
One after another ferocious demon beasts were thrown up and down high, this scene really made everyone jaw-dropping, in the previous beast tide, I had never heard of different kinds of demon beasts cooperating with each other, until dozens of giant apes struggled to climb the city before they fought back.
Surprise is surprise, the cultivators of all factions are merciless, the sword light and sword qi are criss-crossed, and most of the giant apes fall down in blood before they can stand on the top of the city, but the bodies of these demon beasts are indeed extremely strong, and it often takes several people to join forces to kill them.
As hundreds of Moyun white elephants continued to be thrown, the number of demon beasts in the city had gradually increased. After Mo Feng was engrossed in the crystal rune cannon on the body of more than 100 people and killed more than a dozen demon beasts in front of him, he shouted at the disciples next to the cart: "Thunder ......"
The cracking sound of the flame god thunder below continued to sound, but the demon beasts thrown into the city did not decrease much, and everyone felt strange in their hearts, and after struggling to kill a group of demon beasts, they looked at the city and couldn't help but exclaim.
The retreating beast tide has re-emerged, as long as you see the Flame Divine Thunder falling, there will immediately be thousands of beasts rushing up to block it with their bodies, hundreds of Moyun white elephants are surrounded by dry beast corpses, and the powerful demon beasts have not suffered much damage.
"What's going on, how did these beasts suddenly become shrewd?" Mo Feng saw that the number of Flame Divine Thunder was rapidly decreasing, and he faintly felt some danger in his heart: "Don't wait, everyone, quickly find a way to get rid of these white elephants below. ”
"Splitting the Stone and Splitting the Golden ......" Mo Feng took the lead in jumping out of the city wall, lightly flashed several demon beasts that flew up, stood in the air and pressed his hands weakly, and a round of yellow runes appeared faintly on the broad forehead of the Moyun white elephant that was throwing demon beasts below, and then exploded.
