Chapter Forty-Eight: The Storm of the Ming Yuan (21)
In all battles, hand-to-hand combat is the most thrilling, exciting, and most basic fighting skill, and of course it is also the most brutal time in battle.
After Yao Nan pulled the spear out of the demon's head, he looked at the warriors on both sides, they were all fighting with their respective opponents, and the people behind were using bows and arrows to keep throwing at the demons in front of them, although this is now a forbidden area for demons, but this does not exclude the bow and arrow, the most primitive means of attack, after all, it uses physical attacks, not energy attacks. In this kind of melee combat, the huge body of the demon gives them a huge capital of natural melee combat, but it also makes them fall into a strange circle in this direct face-to-face battle, because their body size is too large, and the smallest demon can withstand the width of two or three people, and at such a width they have to deal with two or three expeditionary soldiers, and even worse, the level of the expeditionary force warriors is much higher than them, if it is placed in the absence of magic forbidden, the demons behind them can use a certain part of their body to directly cross their heads to attack the expeditionary force, or use magic to attack the expeditionary forceBut now, they can only stay behind, and there is no way to attack the soldiers of the expeditionary force in front with even a little force. As a result, something ridiculous that neither the article nor Lu Zhongyi thought of appeared. A large group of demons rushed over in a hurry, shouting and shouting to kill, to wipe out the expeditionary force, but only to know when they got close to that Mingyuan Island was actually so small. There is no magic, no spiritual power, and no ability to ride the clouds. Having lost some of the most powerful things in melee combat, they could only watch from behind as the demons in front of them continued to tear apart the warriors of the expeditionary force, and then, after one had died, they would go up and have the enemy behead the other. If there is no one who is the happiest on the battlefield, then neither side will admit that they are one of them, only the monsters in the sea are the happiest, and now they are almost unearned. The warriors of the expeditionary force killed the demon, and the demon, which had lost the support of its magical power, could only sink to the bottom of the sea, and then. They were eaten again, and then another demon rushed forward and was slain again. Then he fell into the sea again. Eaten again, of course, some of them were soldiers of the expeditionary force.
But just as the old man said a very common sentence, if you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts, and the practice of those demonic beasts makes the water surface more bloody, and this bloody scene undoubtedly makes those demons who are already unhappy in their hearts become more red. Bloodshot crept up quickly, and some demons even rushed directly into the sea. There is nothing wrong with starting to fight for food with demonic beasts, it is a fight for food rather than a battle, because the breath of those dead high-level demons makes it difficult for them to control themselves, just like a hidden gentleman smells drugs, where does it care about anything? The battle began in this love triangle-like fight.
"Damn!" Yao Nan stepped on the demonic beasts that were emerging from under the water to attack him, and shouted, these demonic beasts are really not things, kindly go to feed them and attack friendly forces!
"Head, this is not the way to go! we are attacking in front and fighting below, we are fighting against two armies!" said one of the warriors as he fought the demons.
"Yes, ah, head, think of a way, if it goes on like this, it doesn't matter if the demon in front of you continues, I'm afraid that the demonic beasts below will attack, and people can't stand it, we all found out after they were about to touch us, if there was a demonic beast similar to us, we would have to stop cooking." "Another warrior, a spear directly nailed a demon to death, and then when the spear was withdrawn, a demonic beast came out of the water, pulled the demon directly into the water, and almost let him follow.
"Ma, what can I do, kill more demons, they won't come to attack us, they don't have to hurry to eat, will they care about us anymore?
"Hemp, no matter how many, you can kill demons, but don't kill those demonic beasts, otherwise we will all be unlucky. Yao Nan came back to his senses and added, you know, the demonic beasts in the sea are very vindictive, it doesn't matter if you hit it, but if you kill it, other demonic beasts will soon find you, so it will really become the Three Kingdoms War, then it will really not be fun. At the same time, such a thing was going on around the entire Mingyuan Island, and all the people of the expeditionary force were given death orders, and the demonic beasts could only be expelled, not killed, or injured, otherwise they would be subject to military law. Although this order was given a little later, it finally stopped some momentum, and the soldiers of the expeditionary force could only dissipate the anger brought by this harassment in the battle against the demons.
"Boom!", from the battle between Yao Nan and the demon, a not very big demon directly fought with Yao Nan with one claw, because he had never encountered a battle of the same level before, he was defenseless, Yao Nan was hit at once, and he was repelled two or three steps, if it wasn't for the comrades behind him to resist him, he might have been taken farther.
"Thanks, numb, it's gone, it seems that the fight is too smooth. After Yao Nan spit out the blood in his mouth, he scolded, without the support of mana, he lost the detection of spiritual power, and he actually let a sage-level demon lean in front of him, and he didn't know it, it was really a mistake.
Yao Nan rushed directly to the demon who repelled him, after the demon repelled Yao Nan, he just wanted to attack the soldiers of the other expeditionary forces, where did he think that Yao Nan would rush up so quickly, hurriedly turned around and attacked Yao Nan with his claws again, where would Yao Nan be fooled? The strength of the demon's body was many times that of his, he flashed to the side, and slashed directly at the demon with a sword from one side. The demon was a little slow to react at this time, after all, it had lost its chance. Standing on the surface of the sea, it is rare to borrow strength, so I can only flash to the side, but. This is on the battlefield, there are almost people or demons in front and behind, and it is natural for Yao Nan to dodge a little bit, but where can the demon dodge? He can only hit the other demon, knocking the other party away, and there is no sword to dodge.
"Whew!" the sword cut a huge hole in the demon's side. The blood of the sage directly sprayed a piece of sea blood red, and Yao Nan hit it and immediately retreated. He didn't want to switch places with demons, in that case, he would fall into the demon surrounding, and it would be too late to cry. All of a sudden, the two returned to the opposite position. Yao Nan touched his shoulder. There is a long cut on it. This is the effect of the demon's counterattack. One sword for one injury, no one on either side took a bigger advantage, although it was said that the demon's wounds were more numerous on the scene, and a lot of blood was sprayed, but you must know that the demon is big and the human body is small, so it is actually about the same. Yao Nan posed again. Prepare for another attack if you don't take the opponent down. Then in this area, there are few people who are the opponents of this demon, and at that time, the whole team will suffer.
Obviously, the demon was not satisfied with the results of its own battle, and it was shocked several times, but there was no way to kill the enemy, and it was also very annoyed in its heart. Both of them were not satisfied, Yao Nan raised his sword, and was about to rush forward, when suddenly he saw a tentacle quickly stretched out from the sea in the corner of his eye, and then directly wrapped around the demon, the demon's original attention was focused on Yao Nan's body, where did he think that there was such a change, although there were some demonic beasts attacking it before, but it was just some small shrimp, standing and letting them fight, they couldn't beat it, let alone anything else. Where did you think that at this critical moment of confrontation with the enemy, a demonic beast actually came with such a hand, which really made it even more annoyed, but now it is too late to react, it is close at hand, where can it react? Now it can only dodge to the side to see if it can dodge this attack, but it is wrong, it directly crashes into another demon, and under the slow reaction and the demon's blocking, it finally did not dodge this attack. The tentacles wrapped around one of its feet and pulled it straight down. The demon tried hard to retreat, to find a fulcrum, so as to confront the monster, it knew that once it was in the sea, it would not be a matter of its mastery, when the time came, I don't know how to die, the unique instinct of the creature allowed it to avoid such an ending, but, if it is placed on the shore, it may still have a little chance, but above the water, where does the point make it stuck in a tug-of-war with the monster? It quickly grabbed the slippery tentacles with one of its claws and was about to tear them apart, but in this moment of life and death, it ignored its worst enemy, and there was a Yao Nan on the opposite side of it.
If the demon and the demon beast are allowed to fight like this, he doesn't know when it will end, so he rushed over directly, the distance of more than ten meters is not a distance at all for the sage, a sword slashed, the demon's eyes suddenly protruded, and a stream of blood rose directly into the sky, and when it was dying, it didn't believe that it died here like this. As soon as it loosened, the tentacles sensed, and directly dragged the demon into the sea, and disappeared without a trace. Except for some fluctuations in the water, as if the battle had never happened.
Yao Nan retreated and took a breath, sometimes the confrontation between masters can be a long time, a few days and nights are not much, but sometimes it is solved in such a moment, only a few moves, and all the essence is condensed into a few moves. However, these few moves drained the strength of his body, after all, he can only rely on his physical strength to fight now, which is completely different from fighting with mana at other times, so once he uses all his strength, he can only rely on his body to recover on his own.
It can't go on like this, if you don't have enough body, it is difficult to fight with demons under such conditions, you must know that he is a saint himself, and the battle between saints is still like this, not to mention the battle of other people, Yao Nan looked at the left and right sides, and sure enough, the warriors there fought extremely hard, and they didn't have much reaction when fighting with low-level demons, but once they fought with demons of the same level, this physical disadvantage was revealed. Many of the warriors of the expeditionary force flashed directly behind after the battle with the same level, allowing other warriors to move forward to fight the demons. And they can only stand on the water to rest, and fortunately, there is such a thing as a battle formation in the expeditionary force, so that these exhausted soldiers can take a small rest. With a little bit of strength, this situation is completely enough for ordinary low-level demons, but if you encounter the same level of demons again, it will be very dangerous.
After thinking about it, Yao Nan beckoned, and a sage later immediately resisted his vacated position and asked him to rest in the back.
"It's not a way to go on like this!" Yao Nan said. The Sage Lin Qi, who was standing in front of him, asked as he eliminated the demons that rushed up, "What's wrong?"
Yao Nan told him the situation in the least words.
"It's really not an option, but it's better now. Ahead, outside the Demon Forbidden, our warriors are destroying those demons, leaving far fewer demons rushing in. Plus the underwater monsters join the fight. It also lightens our burden, but if we are still exhausted like this, we are still very dangerous, after all, there are only half of the Sages in our team now, and there are many people of the sixth or seventh level, and they will soon face the point where they will not be able to participate in the battle because of their lack of strength. At that point, we are in danger. Lin Qi said as he fought.
"There's nothing wrong with that. But what is the solution to this problem?" Yao Nan said, not knowing that the question he was asking at this time was the same problem that many races in places covered by demon bans when fighting demons were facing. And different races have different solutions to this kind of problem.
Needless to say, the monsters are not much different from the demons in a certain way, the demons are not forbidden or not, and the impact on them is as great as the impact on the demons; It can be said that all races have their own tricks, and the words of human beings are commonly used in the body lì recovery agent, this medicine, so that you can fight for a long time in this environment, but it is very helpless that the expeditionary force that has never encountered this situation does not prepare this kind of thing in its hands, although this kind of thing is very cheap, but at this moment, there is not even a bottle of life-saving in the entire expeditionary force, which is a matter of old life.
"Or maybe I've come up with a solution, but it's a bit of a problem. Lin Qi said, as a Sage, his head turned faster than others.
"What way?" was like walking in the desert and encountering a sweet spring, Yao Nan hurriedly asked.
"Let those who have lost their strength return to the magic circle and use magic to restore them! This is the only thing that can be done at the moment. Lin Qi said that this is the only way that can be used at present.
"That's a good idea, I think it's okay. Yao Nan finally breathed a sigh of relief, this solved a big problem, that is, the problem of the protracted battle of these expeditionary force soldiers.
In less than ten minutes, the news reached the headquarters of Mingyuan Island, and Lu Zhongyi hurriedly sent those life elves, water systems, and light systems, all magicians or monks who had the function of restoring the body to the magic arrays at the front of the front, where they continued to restore the body of those warriors who had returned from the front line and exhausted their physical strength, and only this method could temporarily solve this dilemma.
The battle continued, and Yao Nan returned to his place once again after a moment of magic recovery.
"How's it going?" asked Lin Qi.
"The effect is not bad, now that all the strength has been restored, it is not a problem to kill another demon sage. Haha, this method of yours really works. Ah, you seem to be very relaxed?" Yao Nan smiled, and then he looked ahead, and a scene that stunned him appeared, the demons in front of the current expeditionary soldiers were actually only a few, and above the sea, the battle was more between demons and demonic beasts. And it is overturning the river and the sea, the water is splashing, the rain and fog cover the sky, and the scene is violent and extremely exciting. It's as if the entire forbidden demon is full of demonic beasts fighting demons.
"What the hell is going on?" Yao Nan gasped and said, this phenomenon is too amazing, but in just a few minutes, the two sides of the battle were actually replaced by demons and demonic beasts, but one of the expeditionary forces had nothing to do.
"I'm not sure what this is all about, but one thing is for sure, there are more and more demonic beasts involved in the battle now, and within two minutes of you leaving, many demonic beasts have come out of the sea and bite directly at the demons, and there are more and more, and now you can hardly see a few demons rushing over. Lin Qi shook his head and said, he didn't understand what was going on, there were demonic beasts and beasts in it, although many of them were of very low level, and even those beasts did not have any level at all, but even this low-level demonic beast and beast dared to fight with the demon, this situation completely subverted the two of them, and even before Yao Nan came, Lin Qi had always been surprised, but fortunately, now most of the demons are fighting with demonic beasts, and few of them rushed over, which also gave him a lot of leisure to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight。
Yao Nan didn't take the words, he was also watching intently, thinking about what was going on. He saw that there were similar low-level demonic beasts that wanted to pick off a piece of meat from the demon's body, and then sank directly to the bottom of the water, and he also saw several first-level demonic beasts that usually looked extremely weak, directly facing the wound of a bleeding demon, so they bit down directly and ate the flesh on the demon's body, but then let the demon turn around and kill it directly. Of course, there are more monsters that are bigger than demons and are fighting fiercely with demons, and they are constantly tearing each other's flesh and blood with demons, and even eating them directly, without chewing at all. And most of them are the little beasts, some of them the size of a man's palm, that is thousands, they can't leave the water, but once that demon falls on the water, they swarm up, and in a short time the demon becomes a pile of bones.
"I know what's going on!" Yao Nan said.
"What's going on?" Lin Qi was also strange.
"Hehe, the demon is cocooning itself!" Yao Nan sighed.
"How?"
"Originally, when there was no demon forbidden, the most people who fought with demons were those low-level monsters and beasts, because of their low intelligence, or even only instinctive reactions, so they did not have a clear understanding of the strength and number of demons, so they were the only ones who participated in our battle with demons. However, at that time, demons had magical powers, and they could easily kill large areas of demonic beasts and beasts with their magical powers. But now, in order to avoid being killed by us from above the sky, they directly adopt the method of magic forbidden, yes, they are forbidding our superiority in the sky, but at the same time, they also forbid their superiority in magic power over monsters and beasts, they forget that we are not the overlords of the sea, we are just passers-by here, and the monsters and beasts in the sea are the overlords here!" Yao Nan sighed.
There are always a variety of different situations in the battle, some situations are common, some situations are uncommon, and some situations never appear, and at this time a commander is required to deal with these things correctly, because these things no matter whether its impact is big or small for a while, if you don't deal with it, then you will find that at a certain time, they are almost one of the decisive factors affecting the battle. And these situations, especially those who study military history, like to educate younger generations with the example of such things that are not dealt with.
After an hour of fighting, reinforcements from Uobuchi Island finally reached the outskirts of the island and began to attack the demons in the western part of the island. (To be continued......)
