Chapter Twenty-Six: Slaying the Demon
Yan Zheng wanted to give a warning, but there were also black shadows around him that broke through the ground and launched a fierce attack on him, in the turbid rain curtain, Yan Zheng couldn't even see what was attacking them, he could only vaguely see the dark fur of those demon beasts and the sharp bone spurs that flashed away, and the sentry just now was pierced through the throat by these sharp bone spurs.
Yan Zheng waved the spear in his hand to block the bone spurs from a demon beast, and then took a step back, stabbing the demon beast with the tip of the spear, he wanted to pull out the spear, but he used too much force just now, the tip of the spear was too deep and was stuck by the bone spurs on the back of the demon beast, and he couldn't pull it out for a while, and the other demon beast had already pounced on Yan Zheng's back at this time, stabbing Yan Zheng in the back of the head with a bone spur, Yan Zheng had to throw down the spear in his hand, and pulled out the three-foot long knife behind his back, the cold light flashed, and the demon beast was cut in two.
A piercing gong sounded suddenly, it should have been a sentry who gave an early warning, but this gong sound did not last too long and stopped abruptly, it should be that the sentry who gave the warning also encountered an accident, but for a while the sound of the gong was completely enough, most of the soldiers had already woken up from their sleep, they quickly put on their armor and picked up the weapons around them.
The other black shadows rushed towards the tent, but they were slashed by the soldiers as soon as they broke through the tarpaulin, and in the light of the fire, the forms of these monsters were revealed, covered in inky black fur, and their backs covered with bone spurs, which looked eight points like hedgehogs, but their faces were more hateful, and their open mouths showed their undeveloped canine teeth.
Most of the demon beasts that rushed into the tent were killed, their corpses were scattered on the ground, the warm blood was seeping into the ground, only a few of them were more tenacious with their backs, and they wanted to die with the spikes on their backs, but they had been surrounded by soldiers, and they lost the possibility of escape, except for the ability to hide their bodies with the help of the night, these monsters themselves were not strong, only the sharp bone spurs on their backs were somewhat threatening, and the size of these monsters seemed to be just a group of underage young beasts, under the order of the chief, The soldiers raised their swords and slashed several demon beasts.
A terrible howl sounded without warning, the ground under the soldiers' feet began to collapse, a huge black figure opened the thick soil, drilled out of the ground, the two soldiers couldn't dodge, and were stabbed by the sharp thick bone spurs behind the huge demon beast, the sharp bone spurs penetrated the armor of the two and hung them on it, the other soldiers quickly dispersed, dodging the attack of the huge demon beast, this demon beast looked similar to the young beast, but its size was more than ten times their size, its open mouth was full of sharp canine teeth, The bone spurs on his back were like spears, emitting a miserable white light in the dark night, obviously the mother of those young beasts, I really don't know how it gave birth to so many young beasts.
The mother beast arched her back and shot the bone spurs at the soldiers, the bone spurs were extremely fast, like arrows coming out of the string, Shi Chang blocked in front, waved the long sword in his hand to block more than a dozen bone spurs, but there were still several bone spurs passed by his side, and shot straight at the soldiers who could not dodge on the side, the bone spurs of the mother beast were much sharper than those of the young beasts, even if they were wearing armor, they could not resist, the bone spurs passed through the chests of several soldiers, they lay on the ground, obviously not alive.
Suddenly, a blazing stream of fire erupted, and the volume of the stream of fire suddenly shrank in the middle, forming a thin line of fire towards the huge female beast, whose seemingly bulky body showed extraordinary agility, and it jumped to the side, avoiding the attack of the line of fire, but then more lines of fire shot at it.
It was Lin Xiaotian who came, he was still as steady as ever, in fact, the exercises he practiced were not suitable for fighting in such a densely populated area, but under his control, the Dao Fire Flow turned into a line of fire, avoiding the baggage and the tent, and accurately shooting at the huge female beast.
When the number is small, the female beast can barely avoid it, but when the dense line of fire hits, the mother beast immediately becomes a live target, several lines of fire hit its body, leaving burning marks on it, the thick fire flow compresses into a thin line of fire, the temperature doubles, the mother beast feels a strong pain, and the idea of revenge for the young beast suddenly turns into a desire to live, it fights with a few more wounds on its body, breaks through the soldiers besieging it, and then runs with all its strength, trying to dodge the attack of the line of fire, And the place where it rushed was the tent where the doctors lived.
Yan Zheng kicked the corpse of the young beast in front of him, and then chased after the several young beasts that escaped, the demon beasts in the netherworld are extremely fierce, and they are particularly vindictive, if these young beasts successfully escape, then they will definitely breed into a larger group in the future and make a comeback, and when they see humans in armor again, they will definitely attack without hesitation, which will bring a lot of trouble to the team that enters the netherworld behind, so these young beasts must be cut down and eradicated.
The young beasts moved very fast, under the cover of the pitch-black fur, they appeared and disappeared in the trees at night, Yan Zheng clenched his bite, after passing through a few bushes, he noticed that something was wrong, there was only one young beast in front of him, and this young beast did not run deeper, but took him around in circles between several bushes, and the other young beasts had long since disappeared.
After passing through the bushes in front of him, Yan Zheng found that he had come to a tent, this is the other side of the camp, if I remember correctly, it should be the tent where the doctors lived, Yan Zheng's ears suddenly heard a sound of wind, he turned sideways without thinking, the long knife in his hand slashed towards the wind, the blade cut into the middle of the leather, he slashed down hard, directly disemboweled the young beast that attacked him, and the other young beasts could not escape death, Yan Zheng waved the long knife in his hand, cut them off at the waist, the demon beast did not give birth to much spiritual wisdom, It's essentially no different from a beast, so all that can be thought of is this botched sneak attack.
Yan Zheng rushed to the camp, where he still needed his help, he just entered the tent, he came across a bloody scene, several doctors lying in a pool of blood, their bodies had several terrible holes, as if they had been pierced by a thick needle, Yan Zheng hurriedly rushed out of the tent, the huge female beast was opening its bloody mouth full of sharp canine teeth, and the next moment it would devour the little doctor who was sitting on the ground.
Lin Xiaotian, who came on the gourd, did not dare to make a full attack because of the existence of the little doctor, and the blazing fire line he spit out would definitely kill the mother beast, but the aftermath of the spread would also inevitably make the little doctor Xiang Xiaoyu die.
"Drink!"
Yan Zheng broke through the tent, jumped high into the air, the three-foot long knife in his hand slashed down, and the broken steel technique was launched, and the tide composed of scarlet blood and qi set off a terrifying wave in his body, and the meridians of his whole body were immediately destroyed and quickly rebuilt, a huge force rushed from his heart to the hundreds of bones of his limbs, the skin on his arms cracked, and his bones were broken inch by inch under the powerful countershock.
The knife slashed firmly into the body of the mother beast, cutting through its thick fur and leaving a huge wound on the body, the mother beast let out a more terrible howl in pain, it arched its back and shot more bone spurs at Yan Zheng, but Yan Zheng rolled close to the ground to avoid most of the bone spurs, only a small part of the bone spurs that passed by left several blood marks on his body, scarlet blood oozed out of the wound, repairing Yan Zheng's injuries intact, he quickly got up, picked up the little doctor who was sitting on the ground with both hands, and ran towards the bushes.
Fire-Swallowing Spell.
Lin Xiaotian in mid-air had also pinched the trick, the lid of the gourd under his feet opened by itself, and the fiery red liquor flowed out of it, Lin Xiaotian spat out a blazing fire stream from his mouth, and the fiery red liquor was ignited instantly, forming a river of fire, sweeping the huge female beast into it, and the female beast wrapped in the blazing flames let out a terrible howl, struggling in pain in the flames, but all this was to no avail, under the burning of the flames, it quickly stopped struggling and turned into a charred black dry bone.
"Are you alright, did you hurt anywhere?" Yan Zheng walked out of the bushes where he was hiding, put down the little doctor he was holding in his arms, and asked her about her situation with concern.
The little doctor was shocked, still immersed in the fear of death, she was originally just a doctor who studied medicine in a small medical hall, and wanted to use exploration actions to improve her reputation, and earn more money by the way, but she didn't expect the ghost realm to be so dangerous, if it wasn't for Yan Zheng's timely rescue, she would have died in the mouth of the demon beast by now.
Her whole body twitched uncontrollably, and she replied tremblingly, "No...... It's okay, I'm okay...... OK. ”
This is a normal reaction of a person encountering life and death, not to mention that she is still a person who has never been to the secluded realm, let her calm down first, don't continue to disturb it now, Yan Zheng picked up a sleeve from the ground and wiped the long knife in his hand, after two fierce battles, the blade of the long knife is still sharp, but it is always consumed like this, the edge of the knife will roll up sooner or later, and it is not enough to wipe it, if there is enough time in the future, it still needs to be thoroughly maintained.
The loss of the guard this time is not small, but the loss is even greater, is the morale of the soldiers, the high-intensity march, coupled with the attack on the way and failed to rest well, this time it was not easy to set up camp, but again encountered the attack of the demon beast, in a row, the soldiers' spirit has always been in a state of high tension, if this state accumulates, to reach a limit, then a little carelessness will lead to collapse.
After the battle was over, the soldiers began to help the wounded and clean the camp, and they should have spent a peaceful night, but now there was only a mess, and the rain in the sky was still falling, and it seemed that it would never stop.
