Chapter 356: Second Spine

As soon as this protector with the wings of a high-level demon clan gave an order, the sect leader immediately pushed the boat down the river.

Not only did he no longer let the air fleet meddle in his affairs, but he even moved the ground forces away, and when defending, he was just putting on a show, not really trying to fight.

Anyway, the Dharma Protector's order was to "let them in, and Midi and the others will be handed over to me to deal with."

Although the actual meaning of this sentence should be that the Dharma Protector wants to kill the leaders of Midi, Fina, and Alice, it shouldn't matter much if the four thousand troops below are put in together, right?

Immediately, the pressure on Midi's side suddenly lightened, and the speed of progress suddenly became much faster.

Midi was even a little skeptical that there was some trap waiting for him, but judging from the scouts' rewards and the snooping of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, he was completely overly worried.

Ready for any surprise attack, Midi did not hesitate to order his troops to speed up their march.

This army of 4,000 men soon reached the first spine of the Heavenly Veil Behemoth.

From the point of view of these tiny humans on the back of the behemoth, it is a hilly site with mountains, rivers, and a large number of watersheds, and in the distance the ethereal mountains, where the second spine is located.

Similar to the Treant Jungle, this first spine also contains a large number of demonic beasts raised by the Mind Flayer.

Even if the Sect Master had transferred all the troops, these monsters would not be affected by the orders, but would stick to their own territory, ready to attack any intruder at any time.

Among the Warcraft, in addition to a large number of demonized War Ancient Trees, the most powerful is the One-Eyed Demon.

Not the Hundred-Eyed Lord, but another subspecies, known as the Overseer's Eye.

The Overseer's Eye is the most dangerous of the eye-like creatures known.

It was born with several times the power of ordinary eye demons, and its appearance was deformed and strange beyond words.

If you can barely describe it, it can be described as a large fleshy tree, but it has a mouth on its trunk and eyes at the tips of its branches.

Unlike its sibling, the Hundred-Eyed Lord, the Overseer's Eye is extremely resistant to psychic abilities, and is the equivalent of the Eye Hunter, for example.

Midi's invincible psychic abilities are of little use here.

The Overseer's Eye is also extremely strong, both physical and magical.

In normal times, as long as Midi's golden-red sword is lightly sharpened, not to mention a magic weapon, even the armor of a battleship has to be worn off. But at this moment, under the continuous attacks of the golden-red sword, the black torso of the Overseer's Eye did not even suffer much damage.

Fina's terrifying magic projectile attack, which was enough to pierce the battleship, was also deflected by the Overseer's Eye with a series of defensive spells cast in succession, and could not accurately hit the target.

Not only that, but even Alice's attack became a little pale this time.

The Red Devil "Rose Hound" has always been invincible, not because of its attack power and devouring ability, but because it barely takes any kind of damage.

Physical attacks can't hurt the mist-like body, and magical attacks are instead devoured as nourishment, which allows the "Rose Hound" to walk sideways in any environment.

But this time, it met a nemesis.

Since the Overseer's Eye is an Eye Demon, it is natural that the Eye Demon's signature skill "Eyeball Ray" will be used.

Moreover, unlike the Scout-based Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, the Eye of the Overseer, who is good at combat, can shoot five eyeball rays in a split second!

This eyeball ray is not a physical attack, but it is not a magical attack, but a "ray" that dissociates all matter and energy.

Alice's most powerful summoned beast, the Red Devil "Rose Hound", is not able to devour the ray, but is disintegrated by it.

Five eyeball rays pierced the crimson blood mist in an instant, leaving five huge blank traces in it.

At the same time, the huge red wolf under Alice's seat immediately trembled all over, and then let out a terrifying roar.

For the first time since birth, it hurts!

Negative emotions such as pain, fear, and anxiety that had never been tasted before poured into the heart of the "Rose Hound", causing it to almost lose control for a while.

Not only that, but this violent emotion was also fed back to Alice, causing the summoner girl to be hurt to a certain extent.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

"Attack!" Midi suppressed the churning emotions in her heart and gave the order in a categorical tone.

The well-trained Hayabusa warriors swooped in desperately, and under the leadership of Midi, they attacked directly from the Overseer's Eye.

The torrent of steel unleashed charge after charge, launching wave after wave of attacks.

The warriors slashed at the Torso of the Overseer's Eye, a heavily armored cruiser that was as defended as the Eye's weapon, even if it only left white marks on it.

The magicians took turns to unleash indiscriminate bombardments, squeezing every trace of magic in their bodies.

Despite the fact that the bullets were always deflected, Fina continued to bombard, if only to distract the Overseers.

And Alice also endured internal injuries and changed her strategy. She no longer summoned summoned beasts with traits like "Rose Hounds", but instead summoned high-level elemental spirits and others, and cooperated with the large army to directly attack them.

Twenty minutes later, the Overseer's Eye finally fell in the face of such a costless attack.

However, for this, Midi's side also paid nearly one-fifth of the force as a price.

A whole 800 fresh lives were simply buried in the depths of the starry ocean.

Looking at the corpses all over the ground and the blood-stained ground, Midi once again deeply felt the cruelty of war.

And he also remembered that in the previous life, when crossing the first spine, it was a giant sea monster that was guarding the place, not the Overseer's Eye.

The Kraken was just as powerful, but not as powerful as an abyssal monster like the Overseer's Eye.

Reminiscent of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord who suddenly appeared in the starry ocean, at this point, Midi can assert that in this life, history has changed to a considerable extent.

However, not to mention sadness, he didn't even have time to sigh, and even the doubts in his heart could only be temporarily suspended, rather than scrutinized.

Because this war has not yet achieved the most decisive victory.

Until then, any action is superfluous and a waste of time.

Since so many lives have been filled here, the only thing that can be done is to walk one path to the end, and never stop until you reach the end of victory.

After a short rest and regrouping, the vanguard army once again embarked on the path of advance.

The small hills of the First Spine, along with the massive corpse of the Overseer's Eye, had been left behind.

Next, Midi will face the second spine of the Heavenly Veil Behemoth, which is composed of lofty mountains and mountains, and the core of the Blue Truth Sect.

When it comes to this place, the large army is basically useless.

Because in the deep mountains, the formation cannot be spread out at all, and the passage that can be used for action is only a narrow sheep's intestine path. As long as a few strong men stand in the way, the troops of several thousand people will be trapped on the spot, and may even be wiped out completely.

Not only that, but based on the demon veins under the entire mountain, there is also a forbidden sky magic circle that unfolds silently.

Above this forbidden air array, there was a strong wind flowing, not only the people on the ground could not fly, but also the warships far away in the sky could not come down.

If you try to land directly in the mountains, or bombard it with artillery fire, the wind will be enough to crush everything it blows into powder.

If you want to use an analogy, it is as if the impassable "seabed" between the sea of clouds in the sky and the continent of Arad has been moved over.

The only way is to lead a few elites and break into the mountains.

The large force of more than 3,000 people was left behind by Midi, and they were not stationed in place, but were directly sent to other areas of the Heavenly Veil Behemoth to cooperate with the air warships to attack.

Midi herself, along with Fina and Alice, marched into the depths of the second spine with a most elite force of thirty men.

These thirty people have all received the inheritance of the Mind Catcher brought out by Midi from the mind labyrinth, plus a sufficient amount of resources have been accumulated, at least at the level of intermediate mind catchers, and several of them are captains, and they are even close to the level of high-level mind catchers.

And Fina and Alice, not to mention the two women's incomparably strong will, the mind-shielding earrings they wear, have proven their strong performance in actual combat.

Even the psychic attacks of the temple master can be resisted, and from the perspective of defense alone, the psionic resistance of the two women has reached the level of a top-level contemplator.

As for Midi himself, with the support of the Sea Emperor Inheritance, he has even surpassed the top mechanists.

Suffice it to say, this is a squad to fight against psychic abilities.

However, it wasn't until he actually set foot on this mountain path to the temple where the Supreme Powerful Man was located that Midi realized that he was still thinking too simply.

The spiritual power of the supreme powerhouse was far beyond his imagination.

For the first kilometer, everyone was able to move forward normally, but as time went by, the distance approached, and the oppression of the psionic energy from the surroundings became stronger and stronger, as if it were substance, which made people feel suffocated.

This psionic oppression is very pure, without any psychic attacks, no illusions, no temptations, just the power of the psionic energy itself.

But even so, Midi still felt as if she was walking at the bottom of the deep sea, and every step out of the sea was met with great resistance.

Even with him, Fina and Alice naturally felt more pressure.

Not to mention the thirty memorializers they had brought, after a kilometer of walking, they seemed to be enchanted, they just stayed where they were, unable to move even a step.

In desperation, Midi had no choice but to send these people back, leaving only herself, Fina, and Alice to continue to the depths.
