At this time, the monsters burning with demonic flames spotted me, and I don't know where a howl came from, and they hit even harder.

I ran with all my might, and the distance was getting farther and farther a little, but it was far from enough, and it was not enough for many cities to be ready to intercept and kill these things.

After two hours, I had squandered nearly half of my mana, but I could still feel the ice tremble slightly.

The flame beast is no more than four minutes away from me!

I'm in a bit of a hurry, even if I go back more than half a step like this, the preparation time for Duocheng will not exceed eight minutes.

These monsters can't deal with them the same way they can deal with ordinary monsters, and eight minutes is not enough to redeploy the city.

As long as they rushed to a position less than five hundred meters away from the city wall, all the armorers on it would be frozen to death, and they would not have a chance to fire even if they had crossbows in their hands.

In a hurry, my mind flashed with lightning, and I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have a few Mithril nuggets in my bag, and I only needed to cut Mithril into small pieces and throw them on the path of the flame beasts, once they stepped on them, they could not kill them, but also slow them down.

Mithril is a very special material, ghostly and evil, once it touches it, it will explode immediately, and it is something that specifically restrains them.

If it weren't for the fact that it was too expensive, the ghosts and evil in this world would have been extinct; The effect of stepping on the flame beast is the same.

Without saying a word, I immediately complied, took out the dragon's tooth knife and cut it on the palm of my hand, dozens of horizontally, dozens of vertically, and cut the mythril into small pieces as soon as possible, and after cutting, it was all over the sky.

The small clove-shaped Mithril was suddenly sprinkled everywhere like a handful of coarse sand.

Then I began to count silently...... Three minutes and thirty seconds later.

"Boom ......"

A dense and muffled explosion came from behind, and there was a slight tremor on the surface.

Mithril was stepped on, in other words, the flame beast was three minutes and thirty seconds away from me, shorter than expected.

Without a word, I immediately drew a scoop on the gourd and chopped the second piece of Mithril.

This time, the interval was really longer, reaching nearly five minutes.

I'm overjoyed, useful!

And the effect is not bad, I think it was the flame beast that was chaotic, so that the speed of the impact stopped.

Then I spilled all four pieces of Mithril that were left in my bag.

The final calculation took up to eleven minutes.

That's pretty much enough!

In addition, the next journey can be stretched for another two minutes or so, nearly fourteen minutes.

Three hours later, I finally saw the city, and in the distance, the city was fully armed and defended on the city walls.

But this didn't work at all, and as soon as the flame beast approached, the defense line would be destroyed immediately! The city guards didn't have time to fire their crossbow arrows before they had to freeze to death.

This is a trick that the one-horned ghost king has been holding back for several days, it must be prepared with both hands, and it can't figure out where it has confronted Bai Xiangyue by itself.

When it changes hands in more than half a step, it will be even more difficult for Bai Xiangyue to take it back. The flame beast looks inconspicuous, but it is a real killer move.

"It's a demonic flame beast, change the deployment!"

I roared with all my might, and with the blessing of my mana, the sound rolled like thunder.

This voice made the city head react, and the ghost of Meng Po rushed towards me, and I said in a loud voice: "It's the flame beasts that burn this demonic flame on their bodies, they will be frozen for more than half a step!" ”

Meng Po's face changed, and she immediately took out a sound tube from her arms and put it in her mouth and blew it, and a very subtle trilling sound came out.

Immediately afterwards, there was movement on the city wall, someone was shouting loudly, and the armor soldiers at the head of the city also began to mobilize and adjust the defensive deployment.

I breathed a sigh of relief and asked it, "What should we do?" ”

"The main force is handed over to the bed crossbow to fire a salvo and kill the demonic flame beast that has slipped through the net." Meng Po ghost road.

I nodded, and immediately threw a few tea leaves into my mouth and chewed them to replenish my mana, and at this time, a group of backbones of more than half a step also came out, most of whom I had seen during the battle in Mazhen.

There are thirteen in total.

The first person is a person dressed as a monk, with a round head and big ears, and a shiny head, but strangely there is no ring scar on his head. There was a demon and a ghost behind him, and the demon had three eyes, and his eyebrows were very prominent, as if he had horns inside; The ghost was covered in a cloud of black smoke, covered with a black robe, and walked like a floating one.

The second echelon behind is seven, five men and two women, some have ghosts, and even four can't tell which one they belong to.

But their strength is very strong, and the weakest one is on par with Aunt Hong.

Needless to say, one demon and one ghost, it is completely the strength of the eighteen Yin Shuai of the underworld, as for the bald "monk", I can't sense his strength at all, and he has never been worse than the four Yin commanders.

Finally, there were three people, they were wearing armor and embroidered with more than half a step mark, and at a glance they knew that they were people from the half-step city guard system.

The leader is a half-step city lord, called Gong Tianyang.

Its portrait Huang Da had collected for me, so I recognized it at a glance, but this was the first time I had seen it; Not a living person, but a scale demon with a very fine layer of scale armor covering its skin.

There are also two deputy city lords behind it I also recognize, one is called Sun Wanying, a living person, and the other is called Shangguan Gulong, it is rumored to be a ghost, and now when I look at it, it feels a little different.

In the past few days, I have been dealing with more than half a step, and I have a little more understanding of half a step.

Half a step was once the same as the Great Demon City, and they had been dormant for a long time, and Bai Xiangyue and her subordinates were asleep. Only the multi-city city lord palace Tianyang will wake up from time to time and ask about the affairs of the multi-city.

So most of the time, more than half a step is actually out of the direct control of Bai Xiangyue and her subordinates. The real power of day-to-day management is the three major city guard commanders of many cities and some foreign deputy city lords.

A few days ago, some of the deputy city lords were simply spies lurking or bribed in the Ghost King Palace, and most of the rest of them ran away with oil on the soles of their helms, and the only ones left were the two deputy city lords behind Gong Tianyang.

In a real sense, in the entire multi-city system, only Gong Tianyang is Bai Xiangyue's subordinate, and the others are all promoted or enshrined by the multi-city system. Neither strength nor Shou Yuan can catch up with Bai Xiangyue's subordinates.

It is also the stocking state that is more than half a step away, which gives the Ghost King Palace a chance.

Now that the war is about to start, the strategic position here is highlighted, and Bai Xiangyue has only re-incorporated more than half a step into the key defense area.

I compared it horizontally, and found that Gong Tianyang, the lord of the multi-city city, was not top-notch among the thirteen people under Bai Xiangyue, and was in a medium appearance, and it was estimated that the Dao line would not exceed seven hundred.

As for Meng Po Ghost, its strength is also not outstanding, but it is a think-tank existence, and it is used as the backbone when Bai Xiangyue is not there, and it has been commanding several times.

There are a total of fourteen existences, and if they are not missed, they are the backbone of more than half a step.

"Meng Po, what's the situation?" Thirteen people stepped forward, and the bald monk led by him smiled at me, and then asked Meng Po, although his strength was stronger than Meng Po's ghost, his tone was quite respectful.

The title of Meng Po made me slightly stunned, Meng Po ghost is my name, and I don't know its real name until now.

But he never thought that Bai Xiangyue's subordinates would directly call it Meng Po!

My heart moved, and my heart said Could it be that the ghost of Meng Po was really Meng Po?

Because when I was in Hongcun, he gave me a bowl of Meng Po soup, which is still kept in my stomach.

But at the same time, a new question arises, if Meng Po's ghost is Meng Po, then who is that Meng Po in the current underworld?

"The One-Horned Ghost King has unleashed demonic flame beasts, and there are thousands of them, and they must be killed five hundred steps away." Meng Po said ghostly, then looked at the three eyes, and said: "Three eyes Lang, you take the three of Gong Tianyang to the city to command." ”

"Yes, Mrs. Meng."

The three eyes answered, turned and jumped, and a bunch of wings grew from their backs, and they went straight to the city.

Gong Tianyang and the three of them also received orders at the same time, followed closely and turned back.

Then the ghost Meng Po looked at the ghost with a cloud of black smoke and said, "Zero brake, you pay attention to the surrounding situation, and warn immediately if there is an accident." ”

The black smoke ghost nodded, did not speak, and his body quickly and slowly turned into nothingness, and then a breeze rose and disappeared without a trace.

I was dumbfounded, so strong in concealment, I can't feel it at all, I'm afraid that the night wandering god can compare with it.

Meng Po Ghost finally looked at the bald monk and ordered, "Smiling Buddha, you lead the rest of the people to intercept and kill the fish that slipped through the net." ”

"Okay, Mrs. Meng." The bald monk laughed happily, and that smiling face really looked a bit like the smiling Buddha Maitreya enshrined in Buddhism.

I thought that the ghost of Meng Po would also give me orders, but I didn't want its body to slowly disappear and disappear without a trace as a gust of wind.

At this time, the ground tremor became more and more obvious.

The Flame Beast is coming!
