Chapter 1172: An Unexpected Raid
The two daggers that stabbed Lin Qi's kidneys splashed a little spark, and the scimitar intercepted the two daggers when the daggers were still a foot away from Lin Qi's body. With a hideous smile, the short knife waved lightly, and two dark black blood spurted out, accompanied by a 'pop, sound, and the dagger fell to the ground with two palms clenched.
A dark elf with scarlet pupils let out a frightened cry, and the wolf appeared out of the air.
The dagger slashed towards his neck, but faster than the bumper were the day and the black brothers, who grabbed the dark elf's arms and thighs and tore him apart. But just as the brothers had used their strength and were about to exert their strength, Edithy's small hand had already lightly pressed on the dark elf's head.
Black flames buzzed out of the dark elf's body, and the viscous, demure flames burned the dark elf's soul clean, and the black fire flickered slightly, and the unlucky guy turned into a cloud of broken dust and scattered.
Day and night rubbed his head and looked at Etrith indignantly. This cunning girl, she actually robbed their prey.
Six black scorpion tails several meters long stabbed at Lin Qi's body with sharp tail hooks, Lin Qi snorted coldly, he didn't even bother to do it, just yawned lazily. A strange-shaped big mouth, like a dragon, a shark, a poisonous python and other strange monsters mixed together, there are more than a dozen layers of dense dagger teeth inside and outside the mouth cavity, and a circle of teeth is like a chainsaw Crazy spinning big mouth appeared out of thin air in front of Lin Qi, and then swallowed the six scorpion tails in one gulp.
With a click, a piece of land with a radius of more than 30 meters in front of Lin Qi disappeared without a trace, and a large pit several meters long and wide and more than ten meters deep appeared in place. Six highly poisonous abyssal giant scorpions were swallowed along with this piece of land, and they disappeared completely.
A muffled voice came from Lin Qi's side, and Uncle Donkey complained in a low voice with a hint of dissatisfaction: "What a stingy grandson, these damn grandsons, how can six scorpions be enough for me? And they are not even big-breasted girls!"
Just as the donkey complained, the earth suddenly trembled violently, and less than a mile in front of Lin Qi and the others, a cone-shaped piece of ground suddenly rose out of the ground. With a terrible roar, this cone-shaped hill with a height of 100 meters erupted, and a thick cloud of smoke mixed with black-red lava erupted, and countless stones the size of a human head erupted indiscriminately hundreds of meters high.
Flames rolled, black poisonous smoke mixed with the pungent smell of sulfur drifted in all directions, and lava boulders the size of a human head fell down one after another, covering a large area of the military camp near the castle where Arthur's headquarters was located like meteors.
The people in this barracks are the most elite troops under Arthur's command, they are well-trained, and their personal strength is extremely strong, at least the ordinary soldiers here are qualified human-level soldiers.
However, in the raid just now, a large number of middle and lower-level officers in these elite armies were attacked and killed, and a large number of casualties among the junior officers caused the soldiers to be leaderless, and when these lava fell, the camp was suddenly in chaos.
The small volcanoes that emerged from the ground were not just this one, but around Arthur's castle, and there were more than fifty of these small volcanoes popping up at the same time. Terrifying flames rolled in all directions, and as soon as the lava fell to the ground, it exploded rapidly. The flames from each explosion covered a radius of more than 20 meters, and it was impossible to tell how many soldiers were caught up in the flames, and there were no bones left.
It doesn't matter if these abyssal creatures don't launch, once they launch such a fierce offensive, the combat effectiveness of several main legions under Arthur is is amazing, but in the face of the volcanic attack that is almost the power of heaven and earth, they are also in chaos for a while, and the upper and lower command systems are completely out of control.
Mr. Mo casually pointed to the sky, and a thick blue curtain of water rose flat with his movements, surrounding everyone. Mr. Mo's own strength is amazing, and his instantaneous magic is actually the 'Hailan Sealing Enchantment' at the forbidden spell level, which has the special effect of canceling out fire magic below the level of a qiē forbidden spell.
Dozens of large and small lava blocks smashed on the blue waves, but it was like a match falling into a large lake, and with a few clicks, it disappeared without a trace.
Mr. Mo pointed to the red ripples that kept emerging on the ground and sneered, "These abyssal creatures have been prepared for a long time, and they have laid a permanent 'Lava Purgatory Magic Array' around this great lake in advance."
Two strange purple glows shot out of Lin Qi's eyes, he glanced around, and then nodded seriously.
That's right, these abyssal creatures have been prepared for a long time. Perhaps they also knew that this passage exit was a shortcut from the surface world to the Fourth Abyss, and although very few terrestrial creatures had been able to enter the Fourth Abyss through this passage in the long years, these abyssal creatures did not ignore it.
With this large lake as the core, they laid a huge lava purgatory magic array here, attracting more than a dozen volcanic veins to ambush underground, and once activated, they could completely turn the small half of the lake into a sea of fire.
"Speaking of which, that demonic castle is also a nail that they deliberately placed here. The main function of this castle is to attract enemies that may invade the surface world here, and when the number of enemies gathers is large, then launch a magic circle to strike a fatal blow. ”
Yun wrenched his fingers and laughed leisurely on the side: "It is said that the devil is treacherous and cunning, and it seems that this is indeed the case." ”
Lava continued to erupt, and a large amount of lava covered Arthur's castle and a large area around it. The demon castle was also within the range of the eruption of the flaming lava, but when the herald sent by Arthur issued the ultimatum, they had already raised a magic barrier to protect the entire castle, so they did not suffer any losses.
Compared to the state of the Demon Castle in the slightest, Arthur's military camp was simply a mess. Countless tents were caught in the fire, especially those that stored grain and grass, and burned like brick kilns, and the flames rose into the sky, and a large number of livestock stored in them for rations rushed out of the corrals with terrible howls, and the animals covered in smoke and fire ran not far away, and fell to the ground in convulsions.
"I'd love to see, who are these abyssal creatures in command?" Lin Qi narrowed his eyes.
When he was at Arthur's headquarters just now, he saw that the abyssal creatures' brigade still had two hours to arrive, and two hours was enough for Arthur to mobilize his troops and send troops to prepare for battle.
It should be said that this is a psychological blind spot, and no one, including Lin Qi, thought that the abyssal creatures would launch such a fierce attack at this time. This attack caught Arthur off guard at all, and made Lin Qi and Mr. Mo feel a little helpless.
The military order that Arthur just gave was to prepare for a large-scale field battle with the creatures of the abyss, the army was gathering, and those middle and lower officers in the army were completely exposed, and they were shouting loudly to gather the soldiers under their command one by one, so once they encountered a large-scale assassination of assassins, those assassins did not make any effort, and selected these middle and lower level officers from among the soldiers for targeted assassination.
The soldiers who gathered together became the best targets for volcanic magma.
If the soldiers were scattered around the barracks, a single piece of lava could kill and wound only two or three soldiers. But when these soldiers gathered in a neat, dense line in the barracks, and a piece of flaming lava fell, it was likely to be dozens, hundreds of casualties!
"This is not a tactic that demons are used to. Mr. Mo looked at Lin Qi thoughtfully: "It seems that there are people who are proficient in the art of war and battle formations behind the scenes." ”
Lin Qi nodded, and he motioned for everyone to follow Ziba back to the camp of the Longshan family.
The camp of the Longshan family was only a dozen miles away from Arthur's castle, which was a matter of a few minutes for Lin Qi and the others. And this camp is extremely strong, and the earth magicians have spared no effort to raise the heavy rock wall, which is more than 20 meters high, and the rock wall is tens of meters thick, effectively resisting a foreign attack.
Arthur's elite legion was frantically attacked by the Lava Purgatory Magic Circle, and the newly recruited battalions on the outskirts were attacked by some strange abyssal poisonous insects and beasts.
Scorpions, poisonous snakes, all kinds of highly poisonous worms, spiders, bats, ants that can devour metal, etc., all kinds of strange insects and beasts appeared out of the holes that suddenly appeared in the ground, and rushed into the camp of recruits to carry out indiscriminate attacks.
Needless to say, the combat effectiveness of these recruits has been perfectly illustrated by their heavy losses along the way.
In the face of these highly poisonous insects and scorpions, as well as the bats flying all over the sky, and the poisonous spiders jumping around, these recruits simply could not cope.
One by one, the soldiers fell under the attack of the poisonous insects, they convulsed, moaned, and struggled frantically on the ground, and their lives left their bodies as fast as they could.
Even more surprising was the terrible blow to the soldiers who were close to the lake.
I don't know when thousands of huge abyssal demon octopuses gushed out of the huge lake within a radius of hundreds of miles, they stretched out their long wrists and feet, and their wrists and feet with a length of 100 meters frantically whipped the tents and soldiers by the lake, their attacks were so abrupt, so fierce, at least tens of thousands of soldiers were beaten into meat sauce by these thousands of octopuses for a while.
Nearly a thousand strange creatures, half-human, half-fish, emerged from the lake, chanting incantations and using the power of the lake to inspire countless ice arrows to pour down on the camp. The piercing power of these ice arrows was stronger than that of ordinary arrows, and in an instant, a large number of soldiers fell in pools of blood.
Surprise attacks were everywhere, and Arthur's legion was thrown into total chaos.
