Chapter 229: Behemoth
A loud bang shook the earth, like a thousand tons of golden thunder falling from the sky.
It was the entire valley, and the cliff wall that had collapsed could be said to have obscured the sky and the sun, blocking all the light coming from above the barrier, and the multicolored beam of light connecting the heavens and the earth was also cut off in an instant, and even the strange fluctuations that filled the space seemed to become chaotic.
The peculiar fluctuation came from the Heavenly Array, and the change meant that something was wrong with the formation that made up the formation, which made Yi Ruxue and the others, who had experienced continuous changes, shocked.
Some of the officers and soldiers who participated in the Blood Yuan Fire Array had been injured by the power of the backlash before, although they immediately took the pill as soon as the formation was dispersed, but they had not had time to recover, and they saw the entire cliff wall fall down, with earth-shattering might, their frightened faces changed, and they rushed towards both ends of the valley.
As a result, some people simply don't have time to take care of their immobile companions, and they just hope that they can escape.
"Boom ......"
The collapsed cliff wall disintegrated in the air, and the rock broke with a loud noise, and the collapsed debris on the side near the cliff wall hit down like a river, setting off waves of dust that were several feet high.
For a while, screams and shouts were intertwined, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
When Yi Ruxue and the others rushed out of the valley, the entire valley was quickly filled with huge rocks more than ten zhang high.
Looking at the high slope, Yi Ruxue's eyes are complicated. The multicolored light on the Spirit Exploration Treasure in her hand had weakened, but it remained flickering, and it seemed that she could still sense the whereabouts of the spiritual objects in the black water just now, so that she could continue to chase down the person who had escaped from the monster that had been turned into black water.
If this person is really Li Ding. She couldn't accept the man's escape from under his nose anyway.
She is the princess of Nanming Kingdom, and she is the only one in the royal forbidden army who sits on the throne of the forbidden army with the strength of the Imperial Spirit Realm, and she was not in charge of this mission. In terms of her identity, there is no need to participate in this type of task, and the reason why she insists on coming here is entirely because of one person, and this person is none other than Li Ding.
Li Ding might not have thought that when he recognized Yi Ruxue as the one who led people into the Jinguangmen Barrier that day. His name had been pronounced countless times by Yi Ruxue long before that.
No one knew what Yi Ruxue was thinking in her heart, because when everyone rushed out of the valley with palpitations. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a huge figure suddenly appeared on the other side of the collapsed rock wall.
It was a gigantic bear-shaped spirit beast, with a huge body standing behind the broken cliff wall, a huge head. A pair of eyes glowed with green fire, radiating a strange and powerful coercion, and it was obvious that the cliff was toppled by it.
The bear-shaped spirit beast is more than ten zhang high, indicating that this beast can never be a mortal spirit beast, and the thought that this spirit beast is likely to have reached the spirit body immediately made everyone stunned. Fortunately, this bear-shaped spirit beast did not immediately overcome, but just stayed there motionless.
"Whew......"
Suddenly, the bear-shaped spirit beast opened its mouth and roared, and it actually brought a hurricane in the air and swept downward. And with this beast roar, hundreds of spirit beasts of different sizes and different types jumped along the collapsed cliff wall, some of which were obviously mortal in size. And the number is more than 100.
After all the spirit beasts crossed the cliff, they all gathered on the valley that had just been filled, surrounding the bear-shaped spirit beasts, and for a while, the beasts roared one after another, and this time everyone was even more frightened.
The great change just now suddenly caused Yi Ruxue and them to lose almost thirty or forty people, although most of them were stragglers and wounded soldiers, and they seemed to be calculated. An important person like Lu Sanshi was brought out safely, and the losses of the officers and soldiers of the royal forbidden army were not large. It should still be more than 100 people, but because the people were scattered at both ends of the valley when they fled, there were only about 50 people around Yi Ruxue at this time.
The number of beasts is huge, and it is condescending, once the beast herd hits down, the result is not optimistic, not to mention that there is a spirit beast that is likely to reach the spirit body here.
Yi Ruxue's eyes were solemn, and a strong sense of crisis filled her body. Before entering the enchantment, in order to get this mission opportunity, she had already made a military order, and finally got the news of Li Ding, but she missed it, which already made her angry, if she continued to lose troops and dismantle generals, even if she was a princess, she would definitely be punished a lot.
For a while, Yi Ruxue was in a dilemma, if she wanted to continue to pursue Li Ding, she had to pass through the collapsed cliff, so she had to directly face the terrifying beast herd, which would inevitably bring a lot of casualties. If you choose to retreat and choose another path, once the Soul Exploration Treasure fails, it is likely to lose the only clue.
Suddenly, just as Yi Ruxue hesitated, a roar came from the other side of the valley, and when a black shadow flew up in the air, a huge lightsaber slashed down towards the beasts in the dazzling white light.
That black shadow was the middle-aged officer and soldier from before, at this time, the vitality on his body was surging, and the vitality shield gathered by the light attribute vitality shrouded him like a white flame, and the extremely powerful coercion showed that his strength had been raised to the Ming state of mind by the vitality array.
"Not good!" Here, seeing this, Yi Ruxue shouted loudly, and had to lead everyone to rush towards the beasts.
The slope that had just been piled up by the rocks was uneven, and everyone could only jump forward, but when Yi Ruxue just saw the officers and soldiers who had formed a vitality array on the opposite side, just when the huge lightsaber was about to fall on the heads of the beasts, the bear-shaped spirit beast that had stayed behind the cliff without any abnormal movement suddenly raised a palm, and although the movement was slow, it gave birth to a violent wind blowing directly towards the lightsaber.
"Boom ......"
With a loud bang, the lightsaber where the strong wind passed instantly shattered, turning into a piece of white light and dissipating into the air. At the same time, a green light suddenly shot out from the eyes of the bear-shaped spirit beast, hitting the middle-aged officers and soldiers, and the speed was so fast that the middle-aged officers and soldiers could not dodge.
Immediately, the vitality of the middle-aged officers and soldiers surged, and the white vitality cover surged in front of them and turned into a white shield in front of them, but at the moment when the green light was approaching, the white shield shattered instantly, and the green light directly penetrated through the chest of the middle-aged officer and soldier. A blood mist splashed, and the bodies of the middle-aged officers and soldiers fell with a bang.
Only one hit. The blow that could not be resisted at all showed the strong strength of the bear-shaped spirit beast.
Yi Ruxue's forward figure froze suddenly, and there was nothing but shock in her eyes. The officers and soldiers behind her stood on the spot as if they had been electrocuted.
The same was true of the officers and soldiers on the other side, all of them had thought that the strength of this bear-shaped spirit beast must be extremely strong, but they couldn't imagine that it was so strong.
That blow is unstoppable here, even if it combines the strength of everyone to form a vitality array, because that blow contains a unique powerful coercion, and that coercive power goes straight into people's minds and shocks people's souls. That's soul pressure, that's the unique force that only the powerhouses of the Human Soul Gathering Realm have.
A spirit animal. The attack actually contained soul pressure, which showed that this spirit beast had already opened its spirit and had wisdom, and it also showed that it was a spirit beast.
Suddenly, the roar of the beast in the herd became inspiring. It turned out that there were more spirit beasts that crossed over from the other side of the cliff, but a few of these spirit beasts were obviously different, not only were they much larger than the original mortal spirit beasts, but they were also babbling something in their mouths.
Yi Ruxue's side immediately saw that what those spirit beasts were talking about was the four-sided copper tripod that they had formed a heavenly magic array, and there were five copper tripods that were brought in, indicating that five array eyes had been destroyed, and those officers and soldiers who guarded the array eyes were likely to have become food for spirit beasts.
This made Yi Ruxue's heart tremble, and when she looked up, she saw that the colored streamer above the enchantment had become much thinner. The huge colored cyclone that was originally slowly rotating overhead had also disappeared in a few places, and remembering the fluctuations and changes of the Heavenly Magic Circle that I had felt before, this array was actually considered invalid.
"Whew......"
Suddenly. The bear-shaped spirit beast roared again, and all the spirit beasts around it lowered their heads and stopped making any sound, as if they were bowing down to their king.
The officers and soldiers on both sides lost no time in converging together, and in their eyes, it was an incredible thing that a mindless spirit beast should be in awe of a powerful existence like a human being. But this incident really happened in front of their eyes, giving them a new understanding of spirit beasts.
"Bell. Bell ......"
The crisp sound of a few metal knocks suddenly sounded, and it turned out to be several deer-shaped mortal spirit beasts smashing those square copper tripods flat with their wide hooves. The hooves of these deer-shaped spirit beasts were extremely hard, comparable to steel, and they were infinitely powerful, and the copper tripod was deformed and shattered in just a few strokes.
This made Yi Ruxue's eyes become cold, and her whole body trembled, the copper tripod was a medium-grade spiritual weapon, and the spiritual source filled with it may have already been devoured by these spirit beasts, but as long as the spiritual weapon is not destroyed, it can be used again.
Such an important spiritual weapon was destroyed like this, and Yi Ruxue couldn't feel at ease, but at the moment she was helpless.
Suddenly, a powerful invisible coercion came, making Yi Ruxue's whole body tremble, and then a dull voice seemed to fall from the sky to the depths of her mind.
"This is the Beast Realm...... Mankind...... Retreat immediately...... Re-Damage ...... Creatures...... No mercy...... Kill....... ”
With this intermittent sound, the body of the bear-shaped spirit beast suddenly stood up, reaching nearly twenty zhang, as if it had reached the top of the enchantment. Not to mention the powerful coercive force, even the huge body also gives people a strong visual impact and makes people frightened.
"It'...... It's talking. Yi Ruxue's eyes widened, and her body trembled more and more.
It's not that Yi Ruxue hasn't heard of the legend that the spirit beast can speak when it reaches a certain level, but that only stops at the legend. She had heard that Gu Wanshan, the sect leader of the Divine Beast Sect, had a spirit body spirit beast, and she had even heard that the spirit beast had defeated a martial artist in the early stage of the Soul Gathering Realm, but she had never heard that spirit beast could speak people.
This bear-shaped spirit beast can actually speak, what level it has reached, Yi Ruxue didn't dare to imagine for a while.
For these officers and soldiers who have experienced too much life and death, being threatened by a spirit beast can be said to be a joke, but in the face of the threat in front of them, no one can have a trace of resistance.
It seems that this is the beast world, the world of spirit beasts, and this bear-shaped spirit beast is the king here.
There is a terrifying thing hidden behind the powerful power of the Heavenly Array, when the formation is running, it will continue to suck the vitality of the surrounding creatures, which is not obvious to humans, but the spirit beasts are strongly sensitive.
Yi Ruxue couldn't believe that this king of spirit beasts was just here for this, in the face of a huge threat, even if she had the heart to fight, but she had no power to fight, maybe it would be a shame in her life, but she had to choose to retreat.
"Withdraw ......" Yi Ruxue almost gritted her teeth and said the word, but the officers and soldiers next to her seemed to have been unable to wait, and immediately rushed towards the valley. (To be continued)
