Chapter Twenty-Five: The Mountain of Corpses and the Sea of Blood
The space of the watchtower was narrow, and it was not conducive to moving around at all, and Xuanyi held a long knife and stared at the simple staircase below that could be climbed.
"Roar!" There was a roar in the darkness, and a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the shadows below and swooped towards Xuanyi, who did not dodge or dodge, and slashed at the attacker.
"Whoa!", the blade infused with internal force passed through the body smoothly, cutting off a part of the attacker's body, and the attacker fell from the tower with a wail, leaving only a dry arm-like stump in place.
Xuanyi lit a torch and threw it down from the tower, the firelight briefly illuminated the area, and a large number of humanoid monsters had gathered densely in the open space under the tower, and there were monsters pouring out of the forest in the distance.
Looking at it through the firelight, these monsters are similar to the zombies seen in science fiction movies in the previous life, with the appearance of a human, but they are extremely agile, and Xuanyi scanned a climbing monster and quickly obtained relevant information.
"Evil corpse puppet, male, undead creature, vortex country ghost and witch summoner, summoned from the corpse of the warrior through secret methods, with part of the ability of the deceased before his death, ability level B-, combat power value 13870, potential value A-, special attributes: devouring, strengthen their own abilities by devouring the flesh and blood of the living. ”
These things are actually monsters summoned by the people of the vortex country, Xuanyi was suddenly startled, and the cold sweat couldn't help but soak the back of his clothes, he thought that the battle a few days ago caused nearly a thousand warriors to be buried in the entire mountain, if these corpses were summoned by the ghosts and witches of the vortex country using secret methods, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The direction in which the evil corpse puppets poured out was the burial ground of the scout battle a few days ago, and the Juxian Pavilion and the Vortex Country scouts encountered a big battle in the forest, and dozens of people were killed on each side.
The torches were slowly burned out, and the vanguard of the corpse puppets was about to tear down the fence and rush to the station. Fortunately, Xuanyi's arrows warned him before, and the station was somewhat guarded, and Xuanyi slashed down the evil corpse puppet that was climbing up with a knife, and jumped down from the watchtower.
Xuanyi rushed in the direction of the station, and at this time, there was a sharp roar of arrows from the watchtower five hundred meters away, presumably Fang Yu was also attacked.
A few nearby evil corpse puppets smelled the breath of the living people, and pounced towards Xuanyi, from the appearance, except for the mud all over their bodies, the evil corpse puppets are almost no different from normal people, but because of their intelligence, the evil corpse puppets generally do not use weapons, and only rely on instinct to fight.
Dodging the two claws that attacked, Xuanyi cut off the wrists of the two evil corpse puppets with a knife and rushed to the station, at this moment, the entire station was already boiling, except for a few unlucky gangs who were scratched by the evil corpse puppets, all the gangs that could move took up arms and were fighting hard.
In particular, Xia Qingyu is particularly eye-catching, she is dressed in a tight-fitting suit, one move and one style is different from the general swordsmanship, and the dancing double swords seem to have a strange beauty, gorgeous but deadly, so that the audience can't help but think of the word "sword dance".
There are hundreds of evil corpse puppets besieging the station, and everyone can barely cope with them, these evil corpse puppets are transformed from the scouts of the two sides who died in battle, most of the fist and foot martial arts are sparse and ordinary, and after losing the advantage of weapons, their strength is often not fully exerted.
One of the gang slashed off the head of a corpse golem and then kicked it to the ground, and just as he turned to kill his first opponent, a loud bang was heard, and the corpse golem on the ground exploded violently, scattering limbs, bone fragments, and flesh and blood. The explosion affected several people who were fighting around them, and immediately several people fell to the ground in pain and wailed, and the power of such a close explosion was no less than a small grenade, and the broken bones were fiercely embedded in the human body like shrapnel.
"Bang bang!" There were several explosions, and the beheaded evil corpse puppets started the self-explosion mode one after another, and they had to drag a few pads on their backs when they were "dying".
The evil corpse puppet broke into the camp to hunt the living, the ordinary people were almost powerless, and the chased and killed scattered and fled, and Xuanyi organized the gang to protect the wounded while resisting the attack of the evil corpse puppet, and the battle was deadlocked.
"Whoosh!" A sound broke through the air, and a dense rain of arrows fell from the sky, this was not an ordinary rain of arrows, the arrows were tied with lit tarpaulins, and the arrow shafts were hollow, and they were also filled with flammable materials such as fire oil, and the entire station instantly fell into a sea of fire.
Whether it was a simple tent or a wooden fence, everything was set on fire in an instant, and many of the wounded who had not had time to withdraw from the tent were instantly engulfed in flames, and the wails and screams were endless.
The raging flames lit up the entire station like daylight, and in the face of the baptism of flames, Xuanyi was helpless, at least in the face of the menacing flames at his current martial arts stage, he could only retreat. The enemy's indiscriminate attack enveloped the Gathering Pavilion gang and the evil corpse golem who launched the attack, the evil corpse golem had no pain and was not afraid of flames, as long as the head did not explode, some limb damage did not affect it greatly, they were still attacking with their lives.
Xuanyi decapitated an evil corpse puppet with a knife, kicked it away before it exploded, and then covered the retreat of two people carrying a stretcher, on which lay an unconscious Shi Peng. The entire station was already in chaos, Xuanyi and the others could only give priority to rescuing some of the high-ranking people in the gang, and the rest of the ordinary gang members could only temporarily slow down.
Xia Qingyu gathered a small group of people, and rushed out of the station together with Xuanyi, there were enemy archers in the dense forest under the mountain, everyone just ran a few steps, and immediately a rain of arrows roared, and the direction could not be identified in the dark night, Xuanyi gritted his teeth and fled with everyone to a nearby hill.
The people of Juxian Pavilion ran wildly all the way, gradually moving away from the place of fighting, and the sound of wind and shouting was inaudible, and everyone was paralyzed on the ground and gasped in embarrassment. Counting the number of people in the team, in addition to the two protectors of Xuanyi and Xia Qingyu, there are only six people left in the gang, in addition to eighteen people, eight wounded, and only one-tenth of the team of nearly 300 people is left, and the group is frightened and depressed.
The enemy attack was relatively sudden, and Xia Qingyu rushed out of the tent to fight before he had time to put on his coat and veil. At this time, she stood aside with a long sword in her hand, and her bumpy body was stained with a mixture of blood and soot, giving people a strange beauty.
"THIS GIRL IS REALLY TALL, IT'S ALMOST 175CM!" XUANYI SECRETLY LOOKED AT HER AND CAME TO A CONCLUSION, SEEING HER STUNNED APPEARANCE, THINKING THAT SHE WAS FRIGHTENED, SHE COULDN'T HELP BUT COMFORT: "XIA PROTECTOR, THE ENEMY'S ATTACK HAS ENDED, AS LONG AS WE HOLD OUT UNTIL DAWN, AND THEN ASK THE PRESIDENT FOR HELP, DON'T WORRY." ”
Xia Qingyu nodded slightly, but what she was thinking about was not these, this time escorting the wounded down the mountain for treatment actually messed up the matter, not only did she not have any credit at all, but she would also be punished by the gang, and she would be blamed in vain.
At this time, far away from the battlefield in the mining area dozens of miles away, countless coalition forces composed of evil corpse puppets and various snakes quietly approached the camp of Juxian Pavilion, still led by rockets in the sky, and the entire camp of Juxian Pavilion sounded a piercing scream, and the rain of arrows in the sky did not seem to have a good effect, and was gradually extinguished by the Juxian Pavilion gang that had been prepared for a long time.
At the same time, a large number of gangsters roared out of the garrison to fight the incoming enemy, and several huge bed crossbows also set up their brackets after simple adjustments, and roared back, firing back in the direction of the rocket.
