Chapter 21: Bat Demon Beasts

After Qingyun opened his eyes, he quickly pushed open the window and found that the sky had already dawned. Looking up to the southwest, I couldn't help but feel a tingling on my scalp.

I saw thousands of demon beasts with spears flying densely in the sky. All of them had two wings, their faces were hideous, and their mouths kept emitting piercing howls, which blocked the entire west gate of Yungang City. One of the extraordinarily large demon beasts was constantly using the spears in their hands to send out bursts of monstrous black mist to impact the city protection array.

Many monks have also been flying over the city. Led by a majestic old man in a purple robe, he stared fiercely at the army of demon beasts in front of him, without anger or joy.

"Lord of the City, there was a change in the wilderness a month ago, could it be ......?" a middle-aged man in a red robe asked respectfully.

"Yes, the old man has already felt it. These batmons were driven here from the Savage Forest. Their purpose is nothing more than to snatch resources, cross the Fog Demon Sea, and arrive at the island on the border of the continent, just like the scene a hundred years ago. As soon as the purple-robed old man said this, his face suddenly changed. I saw that the monstrous black fog was getting thicker and thicker, "click...... Squeak...... "The first layer of protective light curtain of the city protection array gradually cracked......

"Yang Hu, immediately pass the old man's order, and the six commanders of the city protector quickly assembled. ”

"Yes. Lord Castle. The red-robed man named Yang Hu immediately took out a jade slip and injected spiritual power. Yu Jian was suspended in the air, and Yang Hu immediately transmitted: "All commanders listen to the order, Lord Gao Zhi has an order, and orders you to quickly assemble at the West City Gate." After doing this, Yang Hu was a little weak, and it was obvious that the spiritual power consumed by this sound transmission was not small.

With a loud "bang", the second layer of the light curtain of the city protection array was also completely defeated, and only the last third layer of light curtain was still supported.

In a moment, six red shadows flew from the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, which was none other than the six commanders of the city protectors. "I've seen the lord of the castle. ”

"You and the other six quickly open the inner city protection array. It seems that a fierce battle is no longer inevitable. The long-bearded purple-robed old man Gao Zhi said in a deep voice.

The six of them knew that the situation was urgent, so they didn't talk nonsense, and flew directly to the inner city and quickly set up a formation. After Yang Hu did not wait a while, he gathered many masters in the foundation building period in the city. All of them had solemn faces, and the monks of a hundred years ago would not be unfamiliar with this scene in front of them.

Qingyun is also the first time to see this kind of scene, although several life and death crises have made his heart a lot firmer, and his mentality is much calmer, but he still feels his heart beating faster. Being despised and ridiculed since he was a child made him develop the character that more is better than less. Even though he had a passion for it, his current thinking was how to escape to the sea.

"Young Master, it seems that there will be a fierce battle soon, which gives us the perfect opportunity to leave this place. Of course, Suotian also witnessed the scene in front of him. Qingyun didn't speak this time, he was thinking in his heart that if a war broke out, there would definitely be a lot of dead and wounded monks. It's better to wait for the army of bats and demon beasts to attack and enter the battle first, follow those who are not highly cultivated, and then grab a storage bag. This thought couldn't help but make Qingyun himself startled, what happened to him lately? Addicted to grabbing? Since he learned that this spirit stone could quickly improve his cultivation, he was like a demon, and he wanted to collect it like crazy. This change made him faintly uneasy.

"Roar...... With an earth-shattering howl, the last layer of protective light shield was finally breached. The black-pressed bat monster roared and rushed into the city. The city lord Gao Zhi immediately gave an order, and all the monks greeted him, and a bloody battle began. Most of these bat beasts are fourth-order demonic beasts, and a spear in their hands keeps emitting black mist, plus their flesh is hard, and the monks in the late stage of battle foundation building are not left behind.

Those monks below the end of the Dan stage rushed in and were completely cannon fodder. After a while, I saw that those monks in the foundation building period began to flee frantically towards the inner city, and the bat demon beasts followed behind and chased after them. The monk who fled slowly was soon swallowed up by the black mist that gushed out of the spear, and a scream came from the black mist, which made people shudder to hear. And although the city lord Gao Zhi stepped into the realm of spiritual void with half a foot, a large number of bat demon beasts perished in a single move, but the number of bat demon beasts was too huge, and after a while, he was surrounded by thousands of bat demon beasts.

In less than a single pillar of incense, the entire sky was dyed blood red. Large swaths of minced flesh, black blood floating over this Yungang City. Locked the sky into the sword, Qingyun's strength was fully opened, and he rushed into the ranks of monks. At this moment, the gravitational technique, which he usually worked hard to cultivate, was brought into full play. As the monks continued to die, one by one the storage bags quickly flew into Qingyun's hands. He didn't go head-to-head with those bat demons, but kept interspersing among the monks. The speed of the Heaven Locking Sword couldn't help but make Qingyun stunned at this time. Before those bat demons could raise their spears, they were stabbed into the head by the Sky Locking Sword and exploded to death. But there are too many demon beasts to kill.

Qingyun has no other moves except the ground spike, but the ground spike in this high altitude has no effect at all, he has to rely on his strong body, while resisting the attack of the demon beast, he raises his sword or splits, or stabs, but he also has more than enough to protect himself. An hour had passed, and the demon beast army had been reduced by half under the combined attack of those Yuan Infant Commanders. Gao Zhi wielded a double-pointed pestle, like a god of war, and the floating corpses of the bat beasts under his feet had been piled up into a high mountain. Qingyun had also collected nearly 100 storage bags at this time. Even the storage bracelet of a Yuan Infant Master who was besieged and killed was lucky enough to get it. Looking at the bat demon in the sky with fewer and fewer people, he felt it was time to retreat.

He pretended to be seriously injured and flew directly to the east gate. Although some people also saw his actions, they didn't have time to think about it under the attack of the fierce demon beast. When Qingyun arrived at the east gate, he found that the city gate was closed, and most of the guards had already gone to fight the bat demon, and the guards were weak. He didn't talk nonsense, he knocked the guards unconscious and flew up the city wall. It's easy to get to Yungang.

Yungang was a very important treaty port for the Qingyun Empire and the Red Moon Empire. There are many large and small ships here, and the largest ships are even tens of feet high. In the beginning, the ships of the empire were developed by excellent mechanics, and later, with the mixing of monks and mortals, a large number of formations were added to these ships, and the solidity and shipping ability of the whole ship were greatly improved.

Although Qingyun grew up by the sea, he had never seen so many majestic huge ships. And when he heard the conversation between the city lord Gao Zhi and his subordinate Yang Hu before, he learned that those bat demon beasts were also coming for these ships. The fifth-order demon beast had not yet opened its wisdom, but why it could attack the city in such an orderly manner made him puzzled.

He slid down the half-foot thick anchor chain to the hull of the ship. After a few flights, they passed through these large ships and found some small boats moored in remote corners. These boats, about ten zhang long and two zhang wide, were exactly what he needed. The ship is too big to maneuver, too small to go out to sea. This small boat is a fishing boat for fishermen to operate in the offshore waters, which is suitable for going south along the offshore road and returning to Jishan Village.

Qingyun found a ship with a head and a tail from the south to the north, quietly touched the cabin, found the power plant of the whole ship, and after studying it, he entered the spiritual power in it, and a roar sounded, and the big oars behind the hull quickly rotated. Then he quickly flew into the wheelhouse, the highest level of the hull, and pulled the mechanism that controlled the oars. Immediately summoned Suo Tian out of the sword body and threw him some low-grade spirit stones.

"Suo Tian, you go to the lowest level of the cabin now, and take the spirit stone to continuously replenish the spiritual power where I just injected it. Without any hesitation, Suo Tian went straight to the bilge. After a while, Qingyun saw the numbers on the bridge jumping rapidly, and immediately flew out to quickly cut off the iron chain tied to the shore. Turning back into the wheelhouse, he steered the left micro rudder to steer the boat away from the shore. Waiting for the ship to enter the offshore channel, Qingyun set the compass, straightened the bow of the ship, and breathed a sigh of relief. With the spirit stone to provide power, the ship flew towards the south.

"Young Master, send a few more spirit stones down, I will set up a small formation here, and the spirit stones will automatically replenish the spiritual power into the power unit. Suo Tian said to Qingyun. Qingyun went down to the bottom cabin and handed over the spirit stone to Suotian, who told Qingyun some knowledge about the formation he knew while arranging it. Qingyun almost didn't know anything about the formation, and when he heard Suotian talk about it, he immediately became interested.
