0235 Battle of the Holy Mountain: II
"Attention! The enemy is approaching! All shoot with bows and arrows! ”
The first person to hear the sound and spot the enemy was none other than the Nest Scale that had reached the Green Steps.
Because they didn't reach the Blue Rank, Da Lang didn't take them away, but left them in the slaughterhouse.
Now that Jia Chao has brought them to the battlefield, he naturally hopes that they can gain more soul power in the real killing.
With a command from the nest scales, people began to shoot wildly into the darkness.
Screams were heard in the darkness, but the frequency of the screams was clearly not equal to the arrows fired.
This frightened them, after all, the unknown is what scares people the most.
Not knowing when to attack or where the enemy was, they had to light a bonfire on the walls and throw torches below them to get some visibility.
But in doing so, they exposed themselves to the eyes of the enemy, and a large number of spears flew up the walls.
Fortunately, people who have awakened the power of the elements are stronger than ordinary people even in the realm of forbidden spirits.
Therefore, the enemy's throwing weapons did not cause any casualties, but it was the counterattack of the nest scales that caused a large number of enemy casualties.
Soon, Chao Liang and the others summed up some experience.
They used spears to pluck the bonfires down the walls, forming a wall of fire under them.
This will not only illuminate the underside of the city walls, but also create some obstacles for the enemy.
But there are also clever people among the enemy, especially those who have lived in Brownstone Mountain.
They covered the flames with earth to extinguish the fire, and covered the tree shields with earth to prevent them from being ignited.
This scene of offensive and defensive duel shocked Jia Chao, who had been hiding in the shadows and watching.
It seems that what primitive people lack is really not IQ, but experience.
It's just that experience is something that can be passed on through books or words and deeds, and can also be summarized from practice.
Obviously, when you feel the pressure of life and death, the potential of a person is endless.
Jia Chao watched the nest scales fall into a disadvantage, and naturally didn't want the small flames he brought out to be extinguished.
So he pointed with his halberd, and an object flew up out of thin air.
It turned out to be a "ceiling lamp" from the Wuqi Cave!
The thing hung over the mountain path like a miniature version of the moon.
Although the lighting area is limited, it allows the group to see the enemy's movements.
"Look! It was a gift from the Divine Fire God, and the Divine Fire God was helping us kill the enemy! Someone took the opportunity to shout.
This change made the defenders of the city happy, and the besieging side complained bitterly.
Especially those who have developed faith believe that this is an unjust war.
Otherwise, why don't the gods of fire and heaven help themselves and help each other?
With the illumination of the "ceiling lamp", the trend of light and darkness is immediately reversed.
The scales above the walls became more and more violent, and the people besieging the city below fell into passivity.
Even many people retreated and silently stopped moving forward.
It's just that tens of thousands of people are crowded on the mountain road that is not spacious, and it is not up to anyone to advance or retreat.
As the ranks of the rear overseers pressed on, those who wanted to flee the battlefield were still squeezed towards the city walls.
So the whole battlefield once again turned into a noisy slaughterhouse.
Although the Senluo coalition army has adopted a lot of "clever methods", these tricks are still a bit unsightly in front of the brownstone mountain coalition army, which has learned a lot of common sense.
As a result, the outside of the second level was quickly filled with corpses.
They poured down several large cauldrons of animal fat, set a fire, and quickly retreated to the third level.
Their retreat once again inspired the Sen Luo elders who were watching the battle outside.
Although they also saw the "ceiling lamp" that looked like a star, they thought that this thing had little impact on the battle situation.
However, it didn't take long for the elders to react.
"Could that thing be a magic weapon in the Valley of Creation?"
"Huh! When you say that, it's quite similar! If the magic weapon can be used in the Forbidden Spirit Realm, wouldn't those stone walls be a little threatened? ”
"Who has the magic weapon that can destroy stone walls?"
"Are you stupid? It's so far from here to Brownstone Mountain! Who can control the magic weapon to fly that far? ”
"Then how did the other party hang the magic weapon in the air?"
"It could be a treasure that doesn't require soul power to drive! Should have someone get it back! ”
"How? Poke with a wooden stick? ”
“……”
Jia Chao, who was silently observing the battlefield in secret, was wrapped in black fog all over his body at this moment.
The power of the cathode made him feel like a fish in water at night, and he even had time to cultivate the Returning Mystery Technique.
In the Forbidden Soul Realm, all elemental spirits are restricted.
Only the inheritance of Gui Xuan Jue, which was judged to be an immortal method by the simple system, can be operated.
Jia Chao didn't find anything special about Guixuan Jue at first, but just regarded it as an earth-attribute immortal art.
It wasn't until he noticed that those who had climbed the first level seemed to be in trouble, that he discovered the problem.
It turned out that Gui Xuan Jue could actually absorb those corpses, just like absorbing those white bone skeletons in the dense forest of the Ancient Dao of Shenyi!
This discovery surprised Jia Chao.
He silently floated to the foot of the Brownstone Mountain, and sat in the pile of corpses at the foot of the mountain to run the Returning Mystery Technique.
Under the cathode vision, he saw those flesh and blood bodies visibly turn into dust, and then be absorbed by themselves!
[Dust to dust, dust to dust!] I see! This immortal art is to let those dead return to dust!
Xuan, the original meaning of the color of red black, is the color of dust. The meaning of returning to the mystery is that the fallen leaves return to the roots! 】
With this realization, Jia Chao suddenly felt that the stagnation in the meridians in all parts of his body suddenly disappeared.
There is no need to forcibly urge the Gui Xuan Jue anymore, and it actually works on its own.
Within five meters of his reach, the corpse instantly turned to dust.
Within two meters, dust turned into gas, surging towards him like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.
In just a moment, he cleaned up the corpses under the cliff, leaving only weapons and various items in the ground.
Jia Chao also noticed that Gui Xuanjue only seemed to absorb organic matter, including those animal skin clothes, bone knives and so on.
As for stone knives and spears, they will not disappear.
So he simply cleaned the battlefield more thoroughly, and put away all the weapons that were left on the ground.
At the same time, the third level on the mountain trail has been mired in brutal hand-to-hand combat.
Enemies rushed towards the walls of the city with the corpses of their companions, forcing the Nest Scale and the others to face it head-on.
They tried to retreat to the fourth level, but found that there were no bows or throwing weapons left.
So they simply engaged the enemy in close combat, and fought on the city wall.
"Brother, be careful!"
The scales that had just pushed an enemy off the wall suddenly felt his heart pounding.
He subconsciously looked in the direction of his brother Nest Scales, only to find a tall black shadow rushing towards Nest Scales.
