Chapter 275: Sacrificial Flag
By the time the sun rose, the monsters had divided their territories and camped like humans to rest.
Li Bochen asked the newly recruited soldiers to gather at the entrance of the secret realm and made them look outside. Now he has a battalion of men under his command, organized into a team of five hundreds. Zhao Bo and Teng Zhong led a front army of 200 people, and there were more than 150 young people under the age of 40.
The 100-person personal army team led by Fang Qi and a 100-person team led by Ge Xuanbai are the Chinese army, with about 100 young and strong people. Ge Xuanbai was also one of the first five ten generals who were promoted to cultivation, this person was originally not good at words, and Li Bochen didn't pay much attention to him. But last night he whispered beside Li Bochen and pointed out the banner of Sui Wujiao, and Li Bochen found that this person was calmer than others at that time. In the second half of the night, I found time to ask a few more questions, and learned that this person actually served in the army in Jiang Guo in the past, and he knew more about the military than others. Perhaps there are still many talents in this camp at the moment, but they can only be left to be discovered in detail in the future.
There were 100 people in the rear army, called Fang Junfeng as the commander, and Xie Yusheng as his deputy general. These two originally said that they would not succeed in the armor convoy and might leave, but now they have nowhere to go, so they can only stay. In fact, if Li Bochen hadn't taken them captive, I was afraid that they would have turned into pulp last night, and there would be no need to worry about indecisiveness.
These people sat cross-legged on the grass, and Li Bochen said: "You must know yourself and your opponent in military affairs, and I will tell you about these demon beasts today." ”
"These things can be treated as smart beasts. The intelligence of a first-order demon beast is comparable to that of a five- or six-year-old child, and we haven't seen it before—a clever dog can do this. It's just that there are more of them, maybe the leather armor is a little stronger, and it will spit poisonous spray. ”
"Demon beasts can spontaneously absorb Yuehua cultivation, and the slightly higher realm is like the peak of the spiritual comprehension realm or the qi cultivation realm of human cultivation, and the brain is more clever. In this category, it has become a second-order demon beast. Second-order demon beasts are very close to human intelligence. Generally speaking, a second-order demon beast has a command of five hundred—" he pointed to himself, "like I am right now." ”
Everyone's hearts were worried, and morale was extremely low. He said the latter sentence and wanted to make everyone's hearts feel more relaxed, but no one laughed. Li Bochen thought for a moment and pointed outward: "Look there." ”
"Now there are about a dozen battalions in the middle of our and Sui army camps. Who can tell which of these thousands of demon beasts is a second-order?"
Actually, it's not hard to see. The demon beasts have already set up camp, and about 500 of them are gathered in one place. At first glance, it is not as orderly as a human barracks, but some are arching on the ground, looking for blood food, some are screaming, and some are sleeping.
But a closer look reveals that they are actually grouped in groups from large to small, from the outside to the inside, according to their size, and there are several patrols that patrol back and forth, as if maintaining order. There is also a distance between the camps, forming a passage through the road, and occasionally there will be demon beasts hurrying through the passage, as if they are transmitting a message.
In the innermost part of the camp, there is usually a demon beast lying quietly on its stomach, occasionally glancing around gloomily, and when it sees that there is nothing abnormal, it will lie down again.
Fang Yan moved, as if he was about to speak, Li Bochen glanced at him, he was stunned, and understood his mind. So after a few moments, one of the soldiers said, "That...... That one. ”
Li Bochen said: "Which one?"
The soldier got up and said, "...... The innermost one in the pile, the one lying on the stone basking in the sun, with a fish head, a human body. ”
Li Bochen nodded and said, "Yes." ”
The second-order demon beast he was referring to was not far away, and he brought a battalion with him, and was stationed in the secret realm. This made half of the five hundred or so demon beasts behind the entrance and could not be seen, and the other half was only two or three steps away from them, and their armor and manes could be seen clearly. If this secret realm suddenly disappears, they will appear directly in the middle of this camp.
At first, when they sat here with their troops, many people were frightened and retreated. Fang Yan punished more than a dozen people before he forced them to sit down. It has been half an hour since they have been in close contact with the demon beasts, and everyone is finally not as afraid as before.
The second-order demon beast that the soldier was referring to was only separated from Li Bochen by two toads, squatting on a big rock. It's not a good idea to say it's a fish head, it's just that the mouth is very large, and the nose has only two holes, which at first glance looks like a fish head. But in fact there are red fuzz on the top of the head and on the cheeks, which glisten in the sun.
But it is indeed a human body, covered with long hair, and tailless. At this time, while sitting, he was slowly knocking with the two gnawed bones in his hand, much like when a person is bored. But the thing's eyes were blood-red, and it turned very fast, and it looked here and there, and its expression was extremely vicious.
Li Bochen said: "This thing is called Changyou - demon beasts also have tribes, and the names of each tribe are different and difficult to remember, so there is no need to remember." We used to call it the Fire Monkey. ”
"Second-order demon beasts, they can spell. But people's spells are divided into six veins, and the spells of demon beasts are all innate, and there are only a few. This kind of fire monkey, the ability is to bury 'fire qi' in the body of the demon beast, and when the demon beast rushes into the crowd, the fire gas explodes, and it will be killed and injured immediately. ”
"But monsters and the like have weaknesses. Fire monkeys will make fire and terrible water. Li Bochen paused and said, "Do you want to see what it looks like in the water?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard what he said, and Li Bochen said, "Want to see it?" I'm going to go get it back. ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then their faces were relaxed, and even some people had the heart to laugh with him. Only Fang Yan frowned after being stunned, and was about to speak, but Li Bochen had already pinched his fingers, recited a few words in his mouth, turned around and strode forward three steps.
His spell was to open the entrance, and after three steps, he was in the midst of the beasts. When the rest of the people were still stunned, Fang Yan drew his sword and rushed over, shouting, "Junhou!!"
But he could not go any further until he reached the entrance, and even if he ran, he could only stand still. Everyone only reacted at this time, and several hundred generals also rushed to the front, and then a group of people pressed up, but they could only be blocked by an invisible barrier.
As soon as Li Bochen suddenly appeared, the two toads in front of him immediately used their thin claws to prop up their bodies, and a human head turned to look at him, his nose twitched, and the expression on his face was both fierce and confused, as if he couldn't figure out his identity for a while.
A few monsters farther away were slower to react, and at this moment they only began to turn their heads, looking for the source of the unfamiliar smell. The fire monkey behind the toad stared, crushed the two bone sticks in his palm with a click, and opened his mouth to scream.
At this time, Li Bochen had already pulled out the magic knife, and a knife qi slashed out from his head, and the two toads were immediately split in half, and he used his strength to rush into the two corpses. The toad was not small, about the size of a cow, and the blood in its body was poured on him, drenching him into a bloody man.
He already had the flesh and blood of a demon beast in his body, and he was drenched in this smelly blood, and the smell of humanity was suddenly covered. At this moment, the fire monkey cried out, and the voice was sharp and sharp, like a dozen people blowing willow whistles at the same time.
Listening to this order, the demon beasts outside got up and roared, but they couldn't find where the enemy was for a while, and only circled in place. At this time, Li Bochen had already rushed into the blood rain, and the fire monkey was extremely agile, and as soon as his legs were exerted, he was about to jump onto the nearest armored beast.
But as soon as he jumped into the air, a big lance suddenly appeared in Li Bochen's palm, and he pierced it all at once.
The brute was in pain, and swayed from side to side on the lance, but the wound cracked a little bigger. Because of this, not only did he not break away, but slid down the mallet, and he screamed in pain. When it slid into his hand, Li Bochen immediately put away the big lance, grabbed its neck and rushed back.
The fire monkey was also the size of a child, and although it was choked by the neck, it was still scratching with its legs and feet, but Li Bochen was wearing treasure armor, and the monster was only in vain. At this time, the surrounding demon beasts finally reacted and pounced on them with a loud bang. Li Bochen handed over the fire monkey to his left hand, and stabbed with a big lance in his right hand, and killed two or three more.
The demon beast was not afraid, and was still rushing forward. Li Bochen didn't love to fight either, so he took the big lance and grabbed the hind legs of a fallen armored beast, shouted loudly, and jumped back.
When the entrance to the secret realm was closed, the armored beast barely came in, and was immediately cut off outside. The rest of the demon beasts suddenly lost their smell and trace, rushed to the entrance and crashed into a ball, and because they smelled the bloody breath and lost the bullet pressure of the commander, they tore and fought with each other after a while.
Li Bochen jumped back to the secret realm, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the demon beasts roaring last night, everyone felt frightened. Today, even if he explained the habits of demon beasts to everyone, he felt that there was no hope in his heart. But this time he suddenly jumped out, and it took more than a dozen breaths to capture the leader of the beasts, as if he was probing for something, and everyone was dumbfounded. When he saw that he had really dragged the fire monkey back, he was startled and avoided at first, and then burst into a roaring applause, almost leaving all his previous fears behind.
Li Bochen's hand was extremely strong, and the monster could still struggle when he was outside, but after pinching his neck for a while, the fire monkey could only breathe out and couldn't go in, and he was about to be strangled to death.
Li Bochen listened to their applause, and saw the excited and somewhat fierce expressions on their faces, knowing that these people were actually related to the death of the Sui army last night - after a night's hard work, under such a stormy baptism of fear, their impression of those dead Sui soldiers was only one word "people".
He shouted, "Bah!
As he spoke, he jumped into the river with the monster. Those aquatic plants immediately avoided them, and the river was dyed red when they landed. As soon as the fire monkey entered the water, the red fur danced as if it had exploded, and a small patch of mist on the surface of the river seemed to boil.
After this stimulus, the monster regained some vitality, yelling and kicking around. Li Bochen wiped his face indiscriminately, then let go of it and jumped ashore.
He went ashore with his front feet, and the fire monkey climbed up with his hind feet, and everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they saw this scene.
Li Bochen drank: "Fang Qi!"
Fang Yan squeezed out of the crowd and said, "Yes!"
"Get a gun!"
Fang Yan was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what he meant. He snatched a gun from one of the soldiers beside him, strode to the monster's side, and before it could leap up, he plunged it into the back of the heart and pinned it to the ground.
The monster was wounded again, but he did not die. As soon as the cheeks were bulging, the mist on his body steamed, and a cloud of red mist erupted. Li Bochen had been wary of its move, and as soon as the fog came out, he immediately shouted: "Beast!
Stepping past, he slashed at the red mist with a single sword. Then I heard a loud sound, and the mist turned into a flame, and it burned around for a long time before it dispersed.
He flew up again, kicked the monster's head with a clattering sound, and said, "See, this is what I said about fire - buried in the body of the demon beast, as soon as its mind moved, the demon beast turned into a pool of blood and exploded." ”
Then he shook the magic knife and took two steps away, and said in a loud voice: "When this thing is outside, lead a battalion." But now that I'm here, I'm flesh and blood like you. Except for it, the other beasts were like this—organized in a group, and they seemed unstoppable like they did last night. But they have an army of more than 100,000 people, and they always have to eat and drink, and they can't stay on our side for long. ”
"When the army passes, there are only a few hundred or thousands of these goods left, and then scattered, what is there to be afraid of? I jumped into the herd just now, and this thing is alert, but the group of beasts outside is still dizzy—if someone comes to us now and wants to assassinate me, will you be like a demon beast?"
Everyone shouted: "Naturally not!"
Li Bochen said in a deep voice: "Those five hundred demon beasts will never be the opponent of our five hundred people. When the land of the six countries south of Tu Mountain, hundreds of millions of living beings, how could they die at the hands of these stupid things?"
"Even if we are here, as long as we are here, these beasts will be slaughtered sooner or later. Now, pull out all your swords—and sacrifice this to the souls of last night's dead!"
He took three more steps back, and the troops around him were already enthusiastic by him, and they rushed up and scolded him. After two quarters of an hour, the people dispersed again, and the fire monkey had no scraps left, and a large area of grass had been cut bald.
At this time, everyone was tired and out of breath, but there was light in their eyes. Li Bochen said: "Go back and sit down, and then tell you about the habits of other beasts outside!"
When he spoke again at this time, the crowd became extremely enthusiastic, and many people even took the initiative to ask. After most of the hour, he said that his mouth was dry, but he also talked about all the demon beasts that he could see at the entrance.
After a few more words, he asked the five hundred generals to bring people back as a team. But Fang Yu stayed, waited for the people to go away, and said in a low voice: "General, you suddenly went out just now, if they find ......"
Li Bochen said: "Found something wrong here?"
"Yes. ”
He smiled: "They've already found out. ”
He hasn't slept since last night, calling himself out of his body. In addition to camping, these monsters also branched out to do a strange thing - destroying the forests in the surrounding mountains.
