At this same time, a colorful distress flare also rose from the rear of the musket battalion and detonated in the air. But its power was so small that it was swallowed up by a blizzard in an instant. As if it hadn't seen it, the golden ball of light accelerated toward the northwest.

"Kill—"

The soldiers shouted loudly, brandishing their weapons and armor in their hands, and tried their best to fend off the attacks of the spirit beasts. The shield armor array has been completely dispersed, and nearly half of the shield armor soldiers have fallen, and even if they don't die, they can't get up. Sometimes crisp and sometimes dull clashing sounds come and go, but more often than not, the sound of human or animal limbs being cut or even severed, and increasingly terrible screams.

The regimental commander personally led several melee spirit divisions to rush to the front and fill the gap exposed by the casualties of the shield armor soldiers. His swordsmanship was like a fallen leaf flying in the autumn wind, and in just a few breaths, he killed the two relatively fastest spirit beasts. The winged blades of the three steel-winged birds landed on him at the same time, cutting through his armor and leaving several wounds on his arms.

The soldiers, who had almost been scattered before, re-surrounded themselves under the lead of the commander. Neither the fangs of a coyote, nor the claws of a cheetah, nor the iron-hard wings of a steel-winged bird could make them flinch, let alone bring them to their knees. At this moment, they have only one belief in their hearts: We are the great Cangling Army!

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Four purple-red lightning bolts as thick as tree trunks fell from mid-air, accurately hitting the row of spirit beasts that were closest to the spirit beasts that had been strangled with the soldiers. More than a dozen spirit beasts were hit hard in an instant, and they were either knocked to the ground or knocked away, and some even turned directly into charcoal. The flying snakes flying at low altitude didn't even have a scum left. The pungent smell of burnt paste instantly spread in the center of the battlefield, mixed with strong and somewhat disordered spiritual power fluctuations, shaking all the spirit beasts behind and pausing for several seconds.

At this moment, hundreds of fist-sized gray spiritual power balls suddenly appeared out of thin air above the bodies of the soldiers who were strangled with the spirit beasts at the front, and instantly turned into a robe-like spiritual power curtain, enveloping every ordinary soldier. The spirit beast's attacks instantly became useless, and all of them seemed to be in the air. Countless greatswords, axes, and spears left wounds on them at once.

"What?!" a few soldiers who raised their heads were the first to shout excitedly, as if forgetting the pain of their wounds.

"Reinforcements! Reinforcements are coming!" shouted a musketeer who had just finished firing a shot, and almost jumped out of his trench.

The small golden orb of light among the four balls of light suddenly accelerated, spun and fell at high speed. Dozens of arm-thick golden rays of light shot out from all around it, some of them shooting towards the group of agile spirit beasts in the center of the battlefield, and the other part scattering towards the large army of spirit beasts in the rear.

Almost every agile spirit beast was shot by the golden light, and let out a terrible scream. Generally speaking, except for top-level spirit beasts or some very special existences, most spirit beasts that are good at speed are not very good at defense, especially vulnerable spirit beasts such as wolves. The head of the regiment and several spirit masters quickly rushed forward and took the opportunity to attack with all their strength, killing most of the spirit beasts that were surrounded in the center within ten seconds.

The golden ball of light slowly disappeared. Xue Mengyi's delicate figure was revealed from it. She wears a golden mask and a goose-yellow women's amulet soft armor. The soft armor has a gold thread embroidered with the core of light, and several layers of clouds and waves are embroidered with white thread around it. The Colorful Bright Stone appeared around her body, shooting seven rays of colorful light in seven directions, hitting the heads of the remaining seven spirit beasts surrounded by heavy armor soldiers with unmistakable accuracy, piercing their brains. The seven spirit beasts fell in response, stirring up a wave of qi, snow dust, and blood mist.

Ye Hengyuan, Lei Xi and Li Wenxin also broke free from the ball of light and fell to the ground. The three of them automatically lined up in a row, blocking the way of the Spirit Beast Legion. All three wore masks that represented their respective spiritual attributes, covering their faces except for their eyes and mouths. The three of them were all wearing protective soft armor, Ye Hengyuan and Li Wenxin were wearing full-body armor, while Lei Xi was only wearing a breastplate that protected the upper body. Nineteen spirit circles were released from the bodies of the three of them, converging into a strong momentum, and the momentum released by the spirit beast army was forced* back into the forest.

"You ......" The head of the regiment was stunned for a moment, and he didn't react at once, and before he could put down the cross sword in his hand, the gray-brown blood on the blade of the sword flowed down in big drops, "You are ......"

"Sir...... We're here to help you......"

Xue Mengyi lowered her head and covered her mouth under the mask, trying not to look at the corpses around her, as well as the blood on the ground that was mixed together and couldn't tell what color it was. Growing up in the boudoir, she has only seen hunting spirit beasts, and has never seen this kind of corpse strewn everywhere, seeing the corpses of people everywhere and the mutilated limbs, her stomach is as uncomfortable as turning over the river and the sea, and she almost didn't vomit.

"I ...... We are reinforcements sent by the Spirit Core Valley. There will be reinforcements later. ”

Lei Xi's voice also changed its tone, but not much. She had also never seen a dead person, and she was also affected by the corpse and blood in front of her, but her willpower was obviously much stronger than Xue Mengyi.

"It's not good. It seems that Master and General Cao's predictions were correct. This level, this scale, this level, is no longer an ordinary riot. ”

Li Wenxin's voice did not change at all, and he was even a little too calm, it seemed to be colder than the wind and blizzard that had not stopped. The gray eyes exposed under his mask seemed to have become a little deeper, like the vortex of spiritual power that Wu Hai released from the air, making it impossible for ordinary people to see a little emotional fluctuation from it.

Ye Hengyuan didn't say a word, just clenched the dragon pattern Fang Tian Halberd in his hand. The dragon pattern on Fang Tian's halberd rod began to glow, gradually turning from pale green to turquoise, and the dragon head part seemed to come to life, emitting a low dragon roar. The turquoise wind attribute spiritual power fluctuations gradually turned into ripples, spreading out in circles and circles towards the spirit beast army in front of them.

The spirit beast corps, which was extremely excited a moment ago, unexpectedly restrained a lot of arrogance under the oppression of this dragon pattern. Some of the spirit beasts with slightly smaller physiques even took a few steps back, and the cries in their mouths became much lower.

"Spirit...... Spirit Core Valley......?"

The regimental commander didn't believe his ears a little, his eyes blinked several times in a row, and he shook his head vigorously to make sure that he had heard correctly. He was a spirit master, and he was the commander of an integrated infantry regiment with the rank of lieutenant colonel, so he naturally knew what kind of place the Spirit Core Valley was. The people who could come from the Spirit Core Valley, except for the twelve spirit generals and their personal disciples, were only members of the elite spirit master group. And the equipment on Ye Hengyuan's four people is obviously not the equipment of the elite spirit master group.

"That's right, sir," Ye Hengyuan spoke, "please let the wounded soldiers retreat first." It's up to us to withstand it here. It's good for you to cooperate with us. Follow-up reinforcements will arrive soon. ”

"This ...... Is this an order from above?" said the regimental commander with a hint of suspicion in his tone. He knew that although the sum of the strength of the two fourth-order spirit masters and the two third-order spirit masters was stronger than the combined strength of the spirit masters in their entire group, the spirit beasts that rushed to the south were not just the dozens or hundreds in front of them. Of course, he didn't understand the power of the twelve spirit cores and their micro spirit cores.

"No," Ye Hengyuan shook his head, "This is our suggestion." ”

"Good!"

The head of the regiment shouted excitedly, took off the right arm armor torn by the claws of the spirit beast, raised the long sword in his hand, stepped over the corpse of the spirit beast that fell to the ground, and stood behind Ye Hengyuan and the others. Several melee spirit masters followed him, forming an inner arc battle formation.

"Third Battalion Commander! Lead the Third Battalion to cover the retreat of all wounded soldiers! First Battalion Commander, Second Battalion Commander! Reorganize the Shield Armor Formation!"

"Roar—"

"Whew-"

The spirit beasts that had been suppressed by the momentum of Ye Hengyuan and the others did not dare to move roared in unison again. The roar was so loud that it seemed to drown out the wind.

Five big black bears that were more than three meters tall and covered like black charcoal were the first to rush out of the spirit beast group, and rushed towards the three Ye Hengyuan who were at the forefront from five directions. Several green-skinned apes hiding in undestroyed trees jumped high from their trunks, their fur shining blue, their claws raised above their heads, and each threw out a cloud of cyan spiritual power in the shape of wild fruits.

Ye Hengyuan and Lei Xi moved at the same time, one rushed forward, and the other jumped into the air. Li Wenxin stood still, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and released his martial spirit, urging the gray spiritual power fluctuations around his body to ripple around like water waves. His martial spirit is a pair of Tai Chi gauntlets, which appear on his palms, the whole body is silver-gray, and there is a black and white Tai Chi ball in the palms and backs of the two gauntlets.

Several gray spiritual power curtains appeared out of thin air again, intercepting the spiritual power balls thrown by the green-skinned ape, "swallowing" them like a few big mouths, and then disappeared directly.

"Brush-pull-"

A blue and white crescent-shaped blade of light slashed out from the dragon-patterned Heavenly Halberd, stirring up a huge wave of qi, slightly deflecting the wind direction of the entire battlefield. A long and narrow pit instantly appeared on the ground in front of the five big black bears. The five black blind men were just in the state of rushing forward, and they didn't have time to stop, and they fell down one after another. Three of them fell on their horses, and the two slightly smarter ones shrunk their bodies into a ball and rolled forward with the thick skin on their bodies.

Lei Xi's figure just appeared above a big black bear that had fallen down. She twisted her slender waist and hands, turned her jade arm, held the phoenix pattern thunder gun in her hand, and stabbed it out. The tip of the spear flashed with lightning and stabbed the relatively fragile back of the big black bear's head with unmistakable accuracy.

Li Wenxin's figure flashed, and he instantly shifted to the middle of the two falling green-skinned apes, and struck out with both palms to both sides, knocking the two apes into the air. An arc-shaped gray spiritual power curtain appeared in front of him, swallowing all the ranged attacks sent out by the spirit beasts behind him
