Chapter 36: The Fierce Battle (1)
"How dare you trick me!" The facial expression of the Yanshi who believed that it was Qi Lu's troublemaker instantly became extremely hideous. "Don't even think about leaving tonight!"
"So, do you want to kill us?" In Qi Lu's fingers that were pinched into a sword trick, the golden spirit rune was blown by the wind.
A cold light shot out of Yanshi's eyes, and his body flew into the air with a "whoosh". I saw him raise his hands and shout: "Come out, my slaves!" ”
The earth shook, the rocks tossed, the dust flew up, and many skeletons with weapons emerged from the ground, some riding tall skeletal horses.
Qi Lu suddenly felt that something was wrong, and while reciting the incantation, the spirit rune in his hand also hit the Yanshi in the air!
Before the spirit rune could reach the Yanshi's body, it was destroyed by the invisible force that enveloped him, and a wicked smile hung on the Yanshi's lips.
"These skeletons were brave warriors in life, so I made them my loyal puppets after death." The Yanshi laughed wildly and said, "You all give me death!" ”
"Ah, there are so many skeletons, what should I do?" Ding Xiaolan in the magic circle screamed, and as far as he could see, there were dozens of skeletons. It was the first time in her life that she had seen so many enemies, and her heart suddenly panicked.
"Don't be afraid, I'll take care of it here." Lao Wu was full of confidence, "The god kings of the five directions collected the evil spirits, the thunder and the demons retreated, and the spirit runes were followed!" ”
He once again used the Kunlun Fixation Technique, a housekeeping skill, and countless spirit talismans flew up from his hands, directly hitting the rushing skeleton soldiers.
"The same trick has no effect on me!" The Yanshi sneered, pinched his hands in his hands, and as the incantation in his mouth was pronounced, the spirit runes that struck the skeletons exploded into scraps of paper before they could reach them.
"Damn, he'll have a way to crack it so soon." Lao Wu scolded secretly and said to Qi Lu: "Let's go up together and defeat these skeletons." ”
The fierce battle broke out in an instant, and those skeletons also launched a charge towards Qi Lu and the others under the manipulation of the Yan Master.
In an instant, Qi Lu and Lao Wu were surrounded by blade-wielding skeletons on all sides, and their bones and hands rolled like a sea, reflecting a terrifying cold light. Qi Lu heard a loud bang suddenly erupt behind him, it was Lao Wu who used a heavy punch to knock down a skeleton soldier who attacked him.
Qi Lu's situation was not much better, after he put down a few skeleton soldiers with his fist, he was slashed with a long knife by the skeleton in close proximity, and a slender wound opened on his arm, and blood burst out. However, it wasn't until he put down three more skeleton soldiers that Qi Lu felt the pain coming.
But Qi Lu didn't dare to be careless, and flew down a skeleton soldier on horseback. Then, when he hit the ground, he kicked the front hooves of the skeleton horse with a sweeping leg, and the lame horse neighed uncontrollably, crushing the ribs of his master's chest, and the skeleton suddenly fell apart, and could no longer return to its human form.
Without time to think about it, Qi Lu leaned over to dodge the slash of the ghost-headed broadsword in the hand of the skeleton cavalry that followed, and pulled the samurai long knife from the skeleton that had fallen apart just now.
At the same time, the newly rushed skeleton cavalry waved a sword flower and gave Qi Lu a second blow smoothly. Qi Lu raised his knife to meet him, and sparks burst out where the blades collided.
Another skeleton cavalryman also targeted him, and struck Qi Lu with a mace from the side and back, Qi Lu dodged and dodged, watching the mace graze his shoulder blades, and the iron thorns on the stick tore through his clothes and cut his skin.
Qi Lu's right hand was suddenly extremely painful, and the blade of the knife was also crooked, barely resisting the rider's third knife attack, but it was difficult to deal with the enemy behind him.
"Xiao Qi, bow your head!"
Hearing Lao Wu's shout, Qi Lu instinctively tightened his head and neck, and the mace rushed forward like a meteor, piercing the chest of the cavalry in front of him, and then penetrating out. Fortunately, Lao Wu reminded Qi Lu in time, otherwise this stick would really kill him.
The mace had been drawn from the hollow in the skeleton of the skeleton that had fallen to the ground, and then smashed towards Qi Lu's head. Qi Lu hurriedly swung his knife to block, the rapid blow made him unable to withstand this brute force, and the injured hand was shocked by the mace and fell straight down, the blade deviated to one side, and the long knife also fell to the ground.
But the skeleton cavalry couldn't take advantage of the victory to pursue, and at the critical moment, Lao Wu flew up and cut off its neck vertebrae with the short knife in his hand. The skull's head lost support and fell, falling to the ground with it.
Another sword-wielding skeleton soldier lunged towards Qi Lu, all the teeth on its skull and mouth were lost, was it just knocked out during the fight, or did it lose its teeth before its body decayed? Qi Lu didn't know that all he could do was to pick up the fallen long knife with his almost paralyzed right hand to face the incoming momentum, and slash off its sword-holding bone hand, and the sound of the blade cutting through the bones was extremely uncomfortable to hear.
Soon, under the joint attack of Qi Lu and Lao Wu, the aggressiveness of the skeleton soldiers was greatly reduced, and more and more skeleton soldiers were broken up by them and fell to the ground no longer posing a threat.
The sound of the fight gradually subsided, and Qi Lu's confidence also grew. Blood was running down his forehead and was almost dry, and he tried to wipe it away, but his hands were covered in blood.
Only then did he have time to look back and see how Ding Xiaolan and the professor were in the array. Lao Wu's magic circle is indeed powerful, although from time to time there are skeleton soldiers who want to take their lives, but once they reach the edge of the array, the skeleton soldiers stand still, or go straight back, as if there is an invisible barrier that prevents these evil creatures from advancing for half a minute.
The balance of victory had tilted in favor of Qi Lu, but the Yanshi floating in the air did not have the slightest hint of anxiety, and he still manipulated the remaining skeleton soldiers to launch a new attack on Qi Lu and Lao Wu.
Qi Lu laughed and said, "Don't you still admit defeat?" ”
"It's time for you to show you the power of my puppetry." The Yanshi smiled in return and recited the mantra again.
I saw him raise his right hand, and several black rays flew out of his sleeve between the palms. These black mangs landed in the grass, wrapping around the skeletons that had been broken up by Qi Lu and Lao Wu.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
A series of voices rang out, and the scattered bones began to gather together, and finally put together a complete skeleton, and all the skeletons that had fallen to the ground stood up again.
Qi Luben, who was waiting for the battle, was smiling, but after seeing the vision in front of him, like Lao Wu, his smile suddenly condensed, and was replaced by a wry smile.
"Damn, they're all immortal!" Lao Wu looked a little depressed, and the fighting spirit in his heart was gradually weakening.
"Capture the thief and capture the king first!" Qi Lu flew up, crossed the heads of many skeleton soldiers, and struck straight towards the Yanshi with several spirit runes in his hands.
The Yanshi instantly changed the balance of power on the battlefield, and Qi Lu had to give him a sharp blow to have a chance to turn the tide of the battle.
A five-pointed star lit up in the sky under the feet of the Yanshi, and the cold light flashed from the star array, and then enveloped the Yanshi's whole body, and the enchantment opened silently around him, and the spirit rune attacked by Qi Lu was destroyed by the power of the enchantment before it approached the Yanshi's body.
As soon as Qi Lu's feet hit the ground, a skeleton soldier raised his knife and slashed at him. Qi Lu's heart was shaken, and he subconsciously retreated, but he took less than two steps back, and there were skeleton soldiers attacking him behind him. Fortunately, Lao Wu had already rushed over to defuse the danger for him, and the two worked together to repel this wave of attacks.
"Are you going to force me to use the Golden Rainbow Sword?" Qi Lu's hand unconsciously touched the pendant on his neck.
"It's not time yet." Lao Wu hurriedly reminded him that after all, Ding Xiaolan and the professor were still on the scene, Qi Lu's early use of divine weapons would expose himself, and the clever Yanshi would also know Qi Lu's true identity.
Qi Lu asked helplessly: "Do you have any good ways to get out of the predicament in front of you?" ”
"Nope."
"What then?"
"If you can't beat it, run, thirty-six strategies are the best policy!"
"You want to be a deserter again!" Qi Lu was extremely angry, and as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lao Wu turn around and run in front of the professor, and without saying anything, he picked him up and ran down the mountain.
At this moment, Ziqi's road was weak, and his fighting spirit suddenly disappeared, so he had to learn from Lao Wu to pull Ding Xiaolan and run lifelessly along the winding mountain road.
"It's all cowards!" The Yanshi sneered and said, "Do you think you have a chance to escape from the palm of my hand? ”
As soon as he gave the order, all the skeleton soldiers chased straight towards Qi Lu and the others. At the same time, the figure of the Yan Master had turned into a long rainbow and swept into the air, and he wanted to cut off their retreat in front of Qi Lu.
The skeleton soldiers finally caught up with Qi Lu and his party and surrounded them.
Lao Wu put down Jiang Wenhao and said dejectedly: "Damn, I can't escape." ”
Although these skeletons are evil creatures, they are inanimate and are manipulated by the Yanshi, so the spell does not work on them.
If they want to destroy them as soon as possible, Qi Lu and Lao Wu can only fight against them with their skills. But the battle just now had consumed too much energy from the two of them, and now their physical strength had already been seriously overdrawn, and if they were not careful, they would die under the blades of the skeleton soldiers.
What's worse is that these skeleton soldiers can't be killed, as long as they have a spell from the Yanshi, they can be resurrected at any time.
"Are we going to die here?" Ding Xiaolan was very scared in her heart, she didn't want to be unjustly buried in this desolate mountain.
Qi Lu frowned coldly and said, "Don't talk about this discouragement, we must have a way to win this battle." ”
"Really? I don't think so. ”
The figure of the Yanshi appeared above their heads, and the cold light in his eyes became more and more intense.
"Qi Lu, you quickly find a way to destroy these skeletons!" Ding Xiaolan pinned her last hope on Qi Lu, and in a trance, she remembered the boy who had a crush on her when she was studying.
Maybe there will never be a chance to see this boy again in the future, Ding Xiaolan suddenly regretted rejecting him in the first place. Otherwise, she is now a good wife and mother, and she would not be guilty of waiting here to die.
"I told you I would win this battle!" It was not so much comfort as calmness, and Qi Lu's face reappeared with a confident expression.
"The law of the jungle is the truth of eternity." The Yanshi looked down at the crowd as if they were all fowl in a cage to be slaughtered.
He set his eyes on Jiang Wenhao and said leisurely: "Hand over the ghoul resurrection technique, I can consider sparing your lives." ”
The photo was inexplicably burned, and now Jiang Wenhao is the only one who knows the ghoul resurrection spell.
"This"
Jiang Wenhao hesitated and sacrificed himself, maybe he had the courage to do it, but if Qi Lu and the others also gave their lives for this, the professor couldn't bear to see this tragic ending.
As his mind turned, he made up his mind, so he looked at the Yan Master in the air and said in a deep voice, "Okay, as long as you let them go, I will recite the contents of the incantation to you." ”
