Chapter 61: The Demon Sound Demon Bat I
Ye Hengyuan's body was shrouded in a faint blue light, and he held the Fang Tian halberd pole tightly with both hands, and stabbed straight towards a big black bear like a boulder. The dragon's howl became a few points higher-pitched, spreading forward in a ripple pattern along with the fluctuations of spiritual power that were stirring around him.
Another big black bear met the five golden balls of light launched by Xue Mengyi. Five balls of light hit its body at the same time, exploding on its thick black skin.
Almost at the same time, the tip of the dragon-patterned Heavenly Halberd and the tip of the Cross Longsword pierced into the bodies of the two black bears at the same time. The two black blind men let out a roar at the same time, and fell to the ground, never to move again. The remaining two black bears had also been pierced through their heads by Lei Xi's thunder gun.
A Tai Chi pattern appeared at Li Wenxin's feet, which looked exactly like the Tai Chi diagram that blocked the passage to the mother nucleus, but instead of black and white, dark gray and light gray. He walks in mid-air with a Tai Chi pattern, and his steps are sometimes swift and sometimes slow, making it difficult to figure out the pattern. With every swing of his palm, a green-skinned ape or steel-winged bird was knocked back. The palm technique he uses is the same as his footwork, it is difficult to see the pattern without looking carefully, at first glance it looks like he is chasing mosquitoes, and even the strength of the spiritual power fluctuations of each palm is uneven. But all the green-skinned apes and the few remaining steel-winged birds were temporarily held back by his palm.
"Boom, boom, boom—"
The Musket Battalion and the few ranged Attack Spirit Masters opened fire at the same time, concentrating all their fire on the green-skinned apes and steel-winged birds in mid-air. More than a dozen brilliant fires burst out in mid-air at the same time. More than a dozen spirit beasts fell from the sky at the same time, and the fur on their bodies was cracked in many places, and the smell of smoke and burnt paste was emitted all over their bodies. Although they are resistant to cold, they do not have any ability to withstand heat. When Chill Wind and Snowflakes no longer weaken Fire attacks, their defense is inadequate.
Ye Hengyuan pulled Fang Tianhalberd out of the corpse of the big black bear, kicked his right foot its corpse, and jumped into the air, his left arm raised over the sky, and his palm was open. A blue and white whirlwind pattern appeared in his palm. The gust of wind that was originally blowing towards the spirit beast group instantly contracted, rolling into a tangible whirlwind, mixed with countless snowflakes, and swept towards several wild wolves, wild dogs, and wild boars that were rushing over.
More than a dozen fist-sized blue-purple thunderballs broke free from the spiritual power fluctuations on Lei Xi's body, followed behind the whirlwind, and blasted towards a group of spirit beasts that rushed over after him, oppressing them so that they could not move forward.
"Hum—"
A louder chirp rang out from the depths of the forest. This time, the sound wave was no longer invisible, but tangible, shaking off the branches of many trees, and even cracking the skin of many tree trunks.
The more than 500 ordinary soldiers who remained on the battlefield all closed their eyes in pain, clenched their teeth, and shook their heads wildly, and many soldiers fell directly to the ground. Even several spirit masters with weaker cultivation fell to the ground on one knee, saliva drooling involuntarily from their mouths. Dozens of spirit beasts became even more excited, and they rushed through the whirlwind released by Ye Hengyuan.
"Oh no! it's the Demon Sound Bat!"
Li Wenxin let out a loud sigh and withdrew his hands to his chest. A huge gray curtain of spiritual power spread out from his body, enveloping everyone behind him. An identical large gray Tai Chi pattern appeared at everyone's feet, and instantly began to split, one into two, two into four, and it only took a few seconds to cover the ground under the feet of all the ordinary soldiers who had not yet withdrawn.
In the distance, several long blue-gray figures jumped up from the depths of the forest, waving their big wings like two guillotines, clinging to the top of the forest, and flying low towards Ye Hengyuan and the four of them. To them, cold winds and blizzards are like they are completely absent.
"Quick!"
Lei Xijiao let out a shout and rushed out of the gray spiritual power curtain. On her body, there is an extra layer of faint, transparent light gray protective film. The Thunderbolt's micro-spirit core broke free from her body, spun at high speed, emitting a purple-red glow. She threw the phoenix-patterned thunderbolt over her head and leaped directly above the herd of spirit beasts. A light purple phoenix pattern slowly took shape behind her, emitting clumps of crackling thunder and lightning.
Ye Hengyuan also rushed out from the other side of the gray spiritual power curtain, waving the Fang Tian Halberd with both hands, making a movement similar to drawing a circle in mid-air. His body was also covered with a protective film, but it was a little thicker and darker than the one on Lei Xi's body. A pale green whirlwind that was much wider than the previous whirlwind, but also much thinner, rose out of thin air from the ground, surrounding more than twenty spirit beasts at once.
Two golden-yellow inner arc-shaped walls of light tens of meters long and about three meters high suddenly appeared around the whirlwind, blocking the way of other spirit beasts that were not surrounded by the whirlwind, and even the dozens of long-range attacks they sent out were also followed. More than 500 soldiers felt the pressure and discomfort on their bodies disappear at the same time, and immediately regrouped and prepared to charge again.
"Thunder Bombardment!"
Lei Xi's right hand pointed to the sky, and her left pointed to the phoenix-patterned thunder spear that was spinning at high speed above her head. Her incandescent hair fluttered in the wind, along with the purple robes beneath her protective breastplate. The thunderbolt instantly turned into a huge purple and white thunderbolt wheel, rotating at high speed in sync with the micro-spirit core, spewing out seven purple and white thunderbolts as thick as a tree trunk towards the center of the whirlwind.
"Boom—"
A loud roar of thunder and lightning drowned out all sounds. Whether it was the sound of the wind, or the roar and screams of the spirit beasts, they were all covered by it. More than twenty ordinary spirit beasts and second-order spirit beasts were all turned into charcoal, and countless severed limbs flew everywhere.
"Whew!Whew!"
Several cyan celestial halberds condensed from the spiritual power of the wind attribute suddenly appeared above several spirit beasts that had not been swept into the center of the whirlwind, and fell at the same time, accurately inserting them into their heads or backs, stirring up several pieces of blood mist. Several spirit beasts fell to the ground suddenly, and the blood at the wound was instantly blown away by the wind, and the slimy fat and brain pulp flowed to the ground.
At this moment, those long blue-gray figures appeared in front of Ye Hengyuan and all the soldiers, flapping their wings and levitating above the forest. The rest of the spirit beasts, which had not been killed by the lightning and wind, all began to retreat and hide under them.
"It's five Demon Sound Demon Bats," Li Wenxin became calm again, "The one in the middle is about past the fourth order level, and the other four are all around the third order fourth level to the third order sixth level. The previous euphoric sound waves were all emitted by them. Behind them, there are larger groups of spirit animals. There are quite a few third-order ones. Waiting for an attack. ”
The regimental commander beckoned to the rear and signaled more than five hundred ordinary soldiers to retreat. He could feel the oppressive force brought by these five Demon Sound Demon Bats, and he could also judge that it was difficult for his soldiers to compete with these five Demon Sound Demon Bats with not weak flying ability and cold resistance. Even if the whole team is in its prime, it's hard. Not to mention that now the entire regiment has suffered nearly half of the casualties, and most of the soldiers are more or less wounded. For ordinary armies, mid- and high-level spirit beasts of the same rank are generally more terrifying than mid- and high-level spirit masters. People are rational, moral, and have a bottom line, while most of the spirit animals that are excited or even crazy are basically irrational at all. A fifth-order spirit beast that was good at attacking in a large area could destroy an ordinary group with a full blow under the madness.
Ye Hengyuan's four people and more than a dozen spirit masters led by the head of the regiment raised their heads at the same time. They all saw the whole picture of the five demon bats in front of them. The size of these five demonic bats was far larger than ordinary bats, and much larger than ordinary eagles. The smallest one has a wingspan of about three meters, while the largest one in the middle is more than five meters. They all have a large mouth about the size of an adult human face, and a pair of iron-gray fangs, even the mouth in the middle of the mouth is iron-gray. They have patchy blue-gray patterns on the top of their heads and on the tops of their wings, resembling dragon scales. Bursts of muffled sound waves emanated from their mouths, distraughting everyone when they heard it.
It is recorded in the textbooks of Cangling Academy: The Demon Sound Demon Bat is one of the most powerful sonic spirit beasts in the entire Cangling Continent, and it is also one of the top bat spirit beasts. There are only three places on the continent where they live, and one of them is the Forest of Magic Sound, which bears their name. Most of them are wind attributes, a small part are real attributes, and the main abilities are sound waves, as well as wind elemental control*. They are the largest population of spirit beasts in the Demon Sound Forest, and they are the undisputed rulers. All the other spirit beasts in the entire forest must obey them, or they will only become their food.
Their leader, the Demon Bat King, lives in the heart of the Sound Forest. Although it was not very powerful among all the Spirit Beast Kings, it was also a party overlord who had cultivated to the second level of the seventh order.
Under normal circumstances, the Demon Bat Swarm rarely attacks innocent humans, and almost never riots.
"They seem to be responsible. Ye Hengyuan's voice also cooled, but his eyes wandered for a moment.
"That's right," Li Wenxin said, "with their current cultivation and mental state, they can't listen to our explanation." We must kill them first now. In this way, the spirit beasts in the south can temporarily stop rioting. ”
"Well," Lei Xi nodded, "General Cao and General Bai have already gone to the middle of the forest. Let's see if they can convince the Demon Bat King. Before we do that, we need to do what we have to do. ”
"Sir. ”
Xue Mengyi turned around and faced the head of the regiment and the dozen or so spirit masters who were more or less injured.
"These Demon Sound Demon Bats are very dangerous, and they are likely to injure you by mistake. Please withdraw one after the other. They're up to us. ”
