Chapter 211: Captain of the Second Team
Soon after entering the dense forest, there were traces of fighting in some places, and occasionally the corpses of one or two young spirit beasts could be seen, which were caused by the previous six officers and soldiers encountering the spirit beasts. *top*point*small* said.
However, the faces of the six officers and soldiers who walked forward began to become puzzled, it stands to reason that they had entered the area where the spirit beasts gathered, but they did not find a single living spirit beast, but kept seeing the corpses of the spirit beasts. The corpses of these spirit beasts are of different types and sizes, and although some have not yet reached mortal bodies, they are extremely large and by no means easy to deal with.
The strange thing is that these spirit beasts have no obvious scars on the outside, only some of the heads have a bloody crack, but no blood flows out, because the corpses of these spirit beasts are all shriveled and almost only a skin remains, as if they have been dead for a long time and have become dried corpses.
But the strong smell of blood that permeated the air meant that these spirit beasts had not been dead for too long, and the flesh and blood under their skin must have been sucked clean by something.
The deep valley, the dark dense forest, such a strange scene and the cold atmosphere around it, can't help but make people tremble.
"What happened here?" the bearded Captain He's face was solemn, and he unconsciously exuded a vitality shield to protect his body.
"These ...... We didn't do it, we hadn't been here before. The small-eyed officer and soldier said in surprise.
"You don't have the skills to do that. Yi Kaiming's face turned grim, and he looked at the bearded Captain He as he spoke, and the eyes of the two couldn't help but change.
"Brother Ming, are you trying to say...... It's that thing......" Captain He stopped talking and his face became nervous.
Sucking flesh and blood, the two of them almost simultaneously thought of the monster that had escaped from the spirit egg before. Yi Kaiming nodded, and couldn't help hugging Jin Yue'er in his arms and said, "It's not good to stay here for a long time, the sooner you go out, the better." ”
Seeing Yi Kaiming, the two suddenly became nervous. The six officers and soldiers were even more uncertain, and they unconsciously stopped and did not dare to move forward.
"Why did you stop, I didn't want to be like these spirit beasts and hurry away. Captain He suddenly shouted.
The six officers and soldiers were shocked, among which the small-eyed officers and soldiers were the most shrewd, just now he obviously heard Captain He mention something, and then looked at the injured Zhang Da and Jin Yue'er, and couldn't help swallowing saliva. Realizing that there was definitely something more terrifying than spirit beasts in the enchantment, Yi Zhengming and they must know something.
As officers and soldiers, they came here on a mission to find Li Ding. But when they entered here, they found that there were many dangers here, and there were many spirit beasts, which was very different from what was said in the previous intelligence, and they couldn't deal with it at all with the strength of their Ning Yuan Realm. If there is no help from high-level martial artists, there is only one way to die.
And the enchantment is an enclosed space. Even if they want to escape and exit the mission, the only thing they can do is to let the outside world know their situation and send reinforcements to help them get out of trouble.
But a few ordinary officers and soldiers didn't attract much attention at all, and they only heard that there were stormtroopers who came to carry out the mission together, and they originally only wanted to meet a team to follow, but they didn't want to meet the fourth prince Yi Kaiming.
If the people of the stormtrooper are life-saving grass, the fourth prince is a life-saving tree, not to mention Captain He beside the fourth prince. Even the strength of the four princes themselves in the late stage of the imperial spirit is enough to deal with ordinary mortal spirit beasts, not to mention if the outside world knows that the four princes are here. I will do my best to save it.
But seeing that there was only one person left of Captain He, who was the leader of the stormtrooper, and Yi Kaiming was obviously concerned only about Zhang Da and Jin Yue'er, the shrewd small-eyed officers and soldiers couldn't help but feel nervous. Because he only thought that leaning on the big tree of the fourth prince might be saved, but he forgot that the fourth prince was a ruthless master, and the fourth prince's most proud method was to burn people from the inside.
There are spirit beasts that have reached the mortal body in the front, and there are ruthless four princes in the back, although the small-eyed officers and soldiers are unwilling, they are helpless, and they can only ask for more blessings to have the opportunity to follow Yi Zhenglin to the exit.
After hesitating for a moment, the small-eyed officer and soldier were about to take the lead and walk forward, when a strange cry suddenly came from the depths of the dense forest.
"Woo......"
The cry came from far and near, like the roar of a beast from the ground, which was extremely low, causing everyone to look into the depths of the dense forest with a look of surprise.
"This is called a statement that is very far away, but it can shock the mind, what level of spirit beast is it!" Captain He was stunned for a moment and said.
"I shouldn't have come to a place like this. Yi Kaiming's face was a little timid, and he couldn't help but immediately urge the officers and soldiers in front: "Hurry up and open the way." ”
The officers and soldiers had to risk their lives to continue to advance, and they didn't know whether they were afraid of Yi Kaiming or the ** stronger in the face of the unknown spirit beast surviving, and the speed of several officers and soldiers was significantly accelerated, and they gradually got closer and closer to the slope.
However, there were more and more corpses of spirit beasts encountered along the way, accompanied by the faint roar of beasts, which made everyone even more suspicious, until the woods in front of them suddenly became sparse, and an upward mountain road appeared in front of them, everyone's hearts were slightly relaxed, because the slope that could go up to the highest part of the valley was at the end of the mountain road.
But when the officers and soldiers who rushed to the front were about to rush out of the woods, a shocking beast roar suddenly came, causing everyone to stop again.
Yi Kaiming, who was only bent on getting out of the enchantment quickly, looked at the direction of the slope with a solemn face and said, "There is actually a fluctuation of vitality, could it be that someone is fighting with spirit beasts." ”
Hearing this, several officers and soldiers couldn't help but be surprised, and they closed their eyes one after another to feel it, and the small-eyed officers and soldiers exclaimed: "If it is really a fluctuation of vitality, if it weren't for the fourth prince's reminder that we wouldn't be able to sense it at all with our strength, so all the spirit beasts here were killed by someone." ”
Along the way, there were hundreds of spirit beast corpses they encountered, although there were no big guys who reached the mortal body, but if they wanted to kill so many spirit beasts, if they were not superior in strength, they must be a large number of people, and everyone became more and more suspicious for a while.
"It's true that it's a fluctuation of vitality, but why didn't you feel it before, I don't know if it's our people?" said the bearded captain He in confusion.
"It doesn't matter if he's friend or foe, go up and talk about it. Yi Kaiming said, the exit is in front of him, and he doesn't want to give up halfway.
What everyone didn't expect was that although the mountain road was very long, it was unusually flat, and it was passed in an instant, and when everyone turned over the mountain road and looked at the opposite slope, they were all stunned by the scene they saw. Quickly lower your body and hide.
I saw that at the end of the mountain road was a small semi-circular valley, which was covered with the corpses of spirit beasts, and it was at the bottom of the slope opposite the semicircular valley. A large group of spirit beasts were rushing towards a small circle like crazy, and the number of spirit beasts was three or four hundred.
And there were four people in the small circle sitting cross-legged on the ground, although there were not many of them, they didn't care about the impact of the spirit beasts, because the four of them were in a light shield that emitted a faint red light, and those spirit beasts couldn't break through the light shield at all.
But the terrible thing is that at the outermost periphery of the herd. Three strange-looking huge spirit beasts seemed to be commanding the spirit beasts that were impacting the light shield, and two of them had red eyes and long fangs in their mouths. The eyes of the other tiger-shaped spirit beast glowed blue, and there was a single horn on its head.
These three spirit beasts were obviously more than ten times larger than the other spirit beasts next to them, and just by looking at their body shapes, they could tell that these three spirit beasts had reached mortal bodies, and bursts of beast roars emanated from the mouths of the three spirit beasts. It was the beast roar that Yi Zhengming and the others had heard before. It's just that it seems to be getting more somber at the moment. But because they got closer, the breathtaking feeling became stronger, and you can imagine how terrible it would be to be targeted by these three spirit beasts.
Seeing this scene, everyone had to hold their breath and concentrate, for fear that one of them would be accidentally discovered by the spirit beast below.
"That's ...... Lu Sanshi, did this guy participate in this mission?" Although the distance was very far, Yi Kaiming recognized a middle-aged man with sharp-beaked monkey gills in the small circle at a glance.
"It turned out to be this guy who started to see the strange corpses of these spirit beasts. I thought it was...... It turned out to be him, this guy was from the Divine Beast Sect. The means of dealing with spirit beasts are really vicious. The Yuan Qi array they formed was also a bit strange, it seemed to be able to block the fluctuation of Yuan Qi, no wonder they didn't sense it until they arrived here. Ruling out the possibility that the monster in the spirit egg caused the death of the spirit beast, Captain He exhaled as if relieved.
Hearing the words of Yi Kaiming and Captain He, the six officers and soldiers also remembered something, nervously raised their heads and looked down, and the small-eyed officers and soldiers swallowed their saliva and whispered: "Lu Sanshi, is he the most mysterious captain of the second team in the stormtrooper team? ”
Captain He said with a look in his eyes: "Fortunately, you haven't seen him in person, otherwise you wouldn't have survived until now." ”
These words made the body of the small-eyed officer and soldier tremble, and an officer and soldier next to him immediately exclaimed: "Could it be that the rumors are true, he really fed the spirit beast he domesticated with a living person?"
"This ...... You can go down and ask him personally. On the side, Captain He sneered, causing the officer and soldier to break into a cold sweat.
"This person is extremely arrogant, I want to see how this guy can be, why can he directly sit in the position of the captain of the second team of the stormtrooper, and he doesn't even care about me. Yi Kaiming said, with a faint hatred in his words.
The vanguard general Wang Yue's assault battalion has a total of eight teams, as the name suggests, it is used as a charge at the most critical moment of the battle, and it is a team used as a sharp knife, so whether it is the cultivation resources or the supply of pills, it is much better than that of ordinary officers and soldiers.
The martial artists who can enter the stormtrooper are at least in the late Ning Yuan period, and they are all officers and soldiers with extremely rich combat experience. The captain of the stormtrooper team is naturally one in a hundred, not only must the realm reach the late stage of the Imperial Spirit to be qualified, but combat experience is the most important criterion.
Except for the special case of Yi Kaiming, Yi Zhenglin, Zhu Qing, and Captain He did not go through nine deaths to achieve the position of captain, but only Lu Sanshi is a special case. This person was born in the Divine Beast Sect and did not have any meritorious achievements, but as soon as he entered the army, he directly sat in the position of the captain of the stormtrooper team, and rarely showed up in peacetime, and ordinary officers and soldiers had never seen him in person at all.
When Yi Kaiming was transferred to the captain of the fifth team of the stormtrooper, the captains of the other teams, the in-service generals, and the officers all went to congratulate him and give him enough face as the fourth prince, but only this Lu Sanshi did not show up, and the few times Lu Sanshi met Lu Sanshi never looked at Yi Kaiming, let alone said hello, which has always made Yi Kaiming angry.
Hearing Yi Kaiming's words, Captain He said with a cold face: "Brother Ming, you must not underestimate this Lu Sanshi, haven't you noticed that on the surface, it is these spirit beasts that are impacting Lu Sanshi's vitality array, but in fact, it is Lu Sanshi who has restrained these spirit beasts, even the three mortal big guys." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was taken aback, the small-eyed officers and soldiers couldn't see the name, but Yi Kaiming saw the clue at a glance. I saw that the three mortal spirit beasts seemed to be impacting inward, but they were actually trying their best to break free, their huge bodies seemed to be bound by an invisible force, and they were trapped around Lu Sanshi's Yuan Qi array.
