Chapter Twenty-Eight: Jiuli War Drums

In the darkness, so thick that it could barely be dissolved, the lights at the head of the city only shone more than ten feet away.

"Big brother, in my opinion, open the city gate, I will take my brothers to the city, and line up first!" Xiong Wancheng's armor stopped, holding a half-human-high giant drum in his left hand and a drum hammer more than five feet long like a beast bone in his right hand, and said in a muffled voice.

"No~" Xiong Wanlin directly rejected Xiong Wancheng's proposal without thinking about it.

"General, I'll take my thirteenth brother to investigate?"

Xiong Wanlin looked up and saw that it was the boss of the Lang family who was speaking, Lang Boss had a firm gaze, a longbow half a section higher than his body behind him, and a round moon-shaped scimitar more than a foot long was pinned to his waist.

"Hmm~" Xiong Wanlin nodded, "You take Lang Thirteen with you, remember to return as soon as you see the traces of the demon army, and you can't fight!" ”

"Order~" Boss Lang saluted, and beckoned to a lean short-bearded man behind him, "Thirteenth brother, follow me!" ”

After saying that, Lang Boss's body jumped towards the city like a big bird, followed by Lang Thirteen, and the two figures quickly disappeared into the night.

Xiong Wanlin turned his head and looked at the brothers of the Lang family behind him, as well as Xiong Wancheng, his mouth moved, but he didn't know what to say.

Xiong Wanlin knew that his every move was in the eyes of all his brothers, and he couldn't show even the slightest bit of cowardice at this moment.

Following the immortal saint for hundreds of years, he has experienced countless battles and battles, even in the face of enemies who are several times stronger than himself, he Xiong Wanlin has never been afraid, but at this moment, looking at the soldiers all over the city, Xiong Wanlin has retreated for the first time.

The next moment, Xiong Wanlin looked far west, and he could still see the lights of the people going out of the west of the city outside the city before, but he could hardly see it at this time.

Lang Shiyi knew Xiong Wanlin's thoughts, and Lang said, "General, the people have safely withdrawn from the city under the escort of the seventh and eighth children, and in another hour, they will be able to retreat to Beihuan Mountain, and go south along the mountain road, and they can enter Beihuan Mountain!" ”

"Good!" Xiong Wanlin nodded heavily, turned his head again, and looked out of the city.

The generals at the head of the city are all henchmen who have followed Xiong Wanlin for many years, seeing Xiong Wanlin so abnormal today, their hearts are like pressing a stone, and they want to hear him roar, everyone rushed to the city, regardless of whether he is a demon or a demon, cut and kill first, and let go of this sullen breath in their hearts.

It just so happened that the enemy never showed his head, and even at night, not a single beast was seen under the city.

Only in mid-air, a full moon, half-hidden by the mist, hung there godlessly.

Whew~, a long wolf howl came from far away from outside the city, and the voice was full of urgency.

"It's big brother!" Lang Shiyi couldn't hold back at first, "He's in danger!" ”

Xiong Wanlin held down Lang Shiyi, who was about to jump down the city, and reached out to snatch the longbow from Lang Shiyi's back.

Xiong Wanlin's archery skills are far worse than those of the Lang family, who are known for their sneak attacks and speed, but his brute strength is unmatched by the demon clan for hundreds of years.

took an arrow, dipped the viscous grease in the cauldron beside him, lit it, Xiong Wanlin took the arrow, and the giant bow squeaked under Xiong Wanlin's strength, whoosh~, the sound of breaking the sky sounded, and the feather arrow flew straight out of the city with flames.

"It's big brother!" Lang Shiyi's eyesight was the strongest, and he first saw that under the light of the feather arrow, a giant wolf was hunched on its back, and it rushed towards the city, and the person on its back was motionless, not knowing life and death.

The giant wolf couldn't stop looking back behind him as he ran, and his mouth couldn't stop howling.

Everyone couldn't help but wonder, the arrow sent by Xiong Wanlin flew extremely far, until it fell fifty or sixty feet behind Boss Lang, and then it slowly fell, but there was no chasing soldier in the firelight, Lang Thirteen is the best qualified child of the Lang family for more than a hundred years, in terms of speed and ability to escape, he is not weaker than the eldest brother Lang Boss.

The two of them were discovered less than a cup of tea after they set off, and it looked like Lang Thirteen was seriously injured.

Xiong Wanlin fired several arrows in succession.

The giant wolf incarnated by Lang Boss saw the arrows sent by Xiong Wanlin in the city, and his heart was a little relieved, but the speed under his feet did not decrease, and he had already come to the city with a few breaths of work, and turned back into a human form, and grabbed Lang Thirteen, who was unconscious, with one hand, and grabbed a protruding stone on the city wall.

"How?" Xiong Wanlin saw that Lang Thirteen was covered in blood, but he didn't find any wounds on his body, but he had been dead for a long time.

"Thirteenth brother!" Lang Shiyi screamed softly, his eyes were about to erupt with fire, and the other brothers around him also gritted their teeth and gurgled.

Boss Lang knew what Xiong Wanlin meant, so he didn't even take a few breaths without explaining anything, grabbed the giant bow, and a feathered arrow with fire flew into the distance.

Lang Lao's strength was much worse than Xiong Lin's, but this arrow also shot a distance of seventy or eighty zhang.

Xiong Wanlin looked at the beacon fire group flying in the air, and just when he was puzzled, the fire group had been extinguished before it fell to the ground.

"What is this?" Xiong Wanlin was shocked, the fire oil on the arrow was not ordinary oil, but a fire melting beast taken from the ground, and the torch made of this beast's grease would not be extinguished even if it was lit on a rainy day.

There must be something in the darkness.

Boss Lang's face was painful, "I don't know what it is, I didn't see it clearly!" I only felt a buzzing sound, and the thirteenth brother rushed in front of me, and when I heard the sound, the thirteenth brother had already fallen! ”

Battlefield experience such as Xiong Wanlin didn't think of what it was for a while, he stepped forward, half-squatted on the ground, and touched Lang Thirteen's body.

"Is it a ghost bat!?" Xiong Wanlin was taken aback.

Decades ago, Xiong Wanlin once encountered several pure black bats more than a foot long in the deep mountains of the extreme north, the sound of this kind of thing is extremely small, ordinary people can't hear it at all, but this kind of sound has a great impact on people, the higher the cultivation, the greater the impact on people, this sound can make the true qi in the human body boil instantly, at least crazy, or at worst the true qi explodes and dies.

Fortunately, Xiong Wanlin did not face these bats at that time, but was touched by them passing by, after returning to the beast city, Xiong Wanlin visited the fox mother-in-law, and then learned from the fox mother-in-law that this kind of thing is called ghost bats, which is a different species among bats, and the number is extremely rare.

In fact, it is not difficult to break the influence of ghost bats, as long as you use your own rest to make whistling sounds or other sounds, as long as you can cover the sound waves of ghost bats, but the difficulty is that if ordinary people find the sound of ghost bats, they have been affected, and it is not easy to mention cultivation again.

"War drums~" Xiong Wanlin roared.

"I'm coming!" Xiong Wancheng put down the drum in his hand, stepped over, snatched the sledgehammer in the drummer's hand behind him, roared, grabbed the thick bone stick in his hand, and hit the giant drum that was more than twice as tall as his body.

Boom~

A crisp drum sound shook people's ears, but under the beating of the peculiar bone stick in Xiong Wancheng's hand, although the sound shook people's ears numb, there was a fierce battle intent in the sound, which made people's blood boil and their fighting spirit soared.

Xiong Wanlin nodded, at this time, the people at the head of the city saw that Boss Lang was unfavorable, and he came back defeated in a cup of tea, and Lang Thirteen, who had always been very loud, died directly, although everyone didn't say it, but the momentum was greatly affected.

Although the third brother Xiong Wancheng does not have the strategy of the eldest brother Xiong Wanlin, he has followed the eldest brother for many years, and he obeys the eldest brother's orders 100%, knowing that at this time it is important to stabilize the army's heart, and his own weapons are when they come in handy.

The drum he took was called the Jiuli War Drum, which was made of Chongming animal skin, and the huge bone was the leg bone of the Chongming beast, which could be used as a weapon, and could also be used as a drum hammer.

Although Xiong Wanlin knows the power of the ghost bat, there is a war drum every ten zhang in the city, and these war drums are also the nemesis of the ghost bat.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if there are no war drums, the ghost bats are really going to affect only a small area, and it will not have much impact on the battle situation, what he hates in his heart is that the demon world actually uses the ghost bats, it can be seen that he is fully prepared, and this battle is probably inevitable.

Xiong Wanlin slammed the sledgehammer to the head of the city, shaking the ground as well, and roared at the darkness, "Cubs of the Demon Realm, my Demon Realm has always been with you well water and river water, but today I actually offended my city, and if there is a kind, I will show my face, let your Grandpa Xiong see the whole body!" ”

Xiong Wanlin's shout used ten heavy strengths, and the sound shook through the valley and spread far away, and even the unmelted snow at the head of the city also shook down.

"General Xiong said it well~"

"Yes, the cubs of the demon world came out to meet grandpa~"

"Kill you back to the ghost cave~"

The city was full of shouts and killings, and the morale was raised a little.

Call~

There was a breeze blowing through the city, and Xiong Wanlin was keenly aware that there was a faint smell of blood in the wind, but this bloody breath was not the taste of fresh blood.

Before Xiong Wanlin could react, Boss Lang exclaimed, "In addition to the sound of the ghost bat just now, there is also this bloody breath, and the blood spots on the thirteenth brother's body are because of the influence of this breath!" ”

Xiong Wanlin felt that the hairs all over his body stood upright with this bloody aura, and there was a sense of disgust in his trance.

He was taken aback, "This is a trick of the underworld, Wancheng, don't stop!" ”

Xiong Wancheng reminded him with his eldest brother, roared, picked up the Chongming war drum on the ground, waved the Chongming bone in his hand, and knocked it on the drum surface, "Soldiers, the war drums are fighting!" ”

Under the influence of Xiong Wancheng's war drums, the pain that had just risen on the faces of the people in the city was once again covered by the battle intent, and I don't know whether it was the fire or the influence of the war drums, and everyone's faces were covered with a layer of red.

Looking further away, the warriors in the distant city are not so lucky, although there are also animal skin war drums that are constantly beating, but the effect is obviously much worse than the Chongming war drums, and some demon warriors with slightly inferior strength have bowed and begun to vomit.

"Rocket Array!" Xiong Wanlin greeted.

At the sound of the order, tens of thousands of archers on the city fired their arrows into the darkness.

The night sky was as bright as day.

Xiong Wanlin looked ahead, and his heart was sudden, only to see that in mid-air, groups of three or five ghost bats were hovering in the air more than 100 zhang away from the city wall, and with the ghost bats making a piercing cry, the phantoms of beasts appeared in front of the ghost bats.

Xiong Wanlin suddenly knew in his heart, no wonder he had come to the city in recent days, not to mention demon beasts, even ordinary beasts could not be seen, they were all killed by the people of the demon world, and at the same time, they were refined into spirit bodies by the art of underworld.

No wonder there is blood in mid-air, the underworld and the demon world have joined forces!

The ghost bats reacted extremely quickly, and their bodies were black, so these tens of thousands of feather arrows did not have any effect on them, but the demon beast spirit body in mid-air advanced dozens of zhang again, and it saw that the front one was about to approach the city.

Xiong Wanlin has no problem rushing to kill and lead the troops, but unfortunately he is facing this kind of netherworld thing today, even if he is given ten heads, he can't think of any way, but Xiong Wanlin knows in his heart that if he has no way, then the soldiers behind him and the people of a city who have not yet escaped from the danger can only be slaughtered.
