Of our army of 40,000 men, only 463 people were killed and more than 6,100 wounded. Compared to the total annihilation of the 50,000 Giant Devouring Legion, paying such a price is absolutely acceptable.

After clearing the battlefield, the sky was already dark. I asked Qian Ying, "The corpses of these Giant Devourers are good things, can you refine them into skeleton soldiers or something? ”

Qian Ying shook her head and said, "We have already tried to refine the corpses of these giant devourers just now, but we can't refine them at all. ”

"Can't be refined, why?" I asked.

Qian Ying said: "Our ghost clan cultivates with death qi, and refining all dead things is also refined with the death qi on the corpses, and these giant devourers have no death qi on their bodies at all. ”

This answer surprised me: "They don't have death in them? What the hell is going on? Aren't all living creatures a little dead after they die?"

Qian Ying said, "Here's the problem, in fact, to be precise, these Giant Devourers have never survived at all. ”

"In other words, the Giant Devourer is more like a humanoid puppet made by the Demon Dao, can you understand it that way?" I asked.

Qianying nodded and said, "Yes, it can be understood in this way. It can also be used as if they were originally dead creatures, so they cannot be used again after being killed. Just like after the zombie we refine is killed, it can't be refined again with the corpse of the zombie. ”

I said, "Yes, I understand. Then burn all the corpses of these Giant Devourers with a single fire, and don't leave any scum behind. ”。。。

Seven days later, I led my army back to the army outside Luo Lan City, and Xu Zilan and their army returned a day earlier than us. Knowing that I had successfully returned with the army, Xu Zilan immediately gathered all the main personnel in the army and came to the camp for a meeting.

"Zilan, how did you get this harvest?" I asked, sitting in the middle of the camp and drinking wine.

Xu Zilan said with a smile: "Thanks to Brother You's clever plan, we ambushed the 80,000 Sacred Heart Sect regular army this time. Although more than 30,000 people eventually escaped, we got 45,000 skeletons this time. Moreover, the number of casualties of our army in this battle was only more than 2,000, which can be called a complete victory. ”

I smiled and said, "Okay, good, it's a pity that those Giant Devourers can't be refined, otherwise this time it would be enjoyable." ”

Jiang Lingsu smiled at me and said, "Daoist Chief, it's enough for you to achieve such a record. You know, 50,000 Giant Devourers would cost the Sacred Heart Cult to make them. This time it will definitely make the Sacred Heart Sect's flesh hurt for a while. ”

I put down the wine gourd and said, "Where is this?" It is estimated that the Sacred Heart Sect may not know the situation of Muling City until now, and when we finally take down the Luo Lan City in front of us, it will definitely make the Sacred Heart Sect vomit blood!"

"Speaking of Muling City," Jiuyuan said, "I already received news from my disciples yesterday, and it is estimated that they will be able to return tomorrow night with one million four hundred and twenty-two thousand dead soldiers. ”

I was surprised: "1,420,000?!Isn't that more than the total number of our army? ”

Jiuyuan smiled at me and said, "Don't be too happy, the combat power of this corpse soldier is actually not very good, it would be good to be able to exert one-tenth of the strength of those corpses before their death." The main reason is that the time is too urgent, if we are given three or four months to refine these corpses into zombies, the strength will be more than ten times greater. ”

Luochen said: "I'm afraid it won't work this time, but after defeating this Luo Lan City, there will be enough time for the Youluo Gate to slowly refine." ”

"Yes, that's right. Jiuyuan said to Xu Zilan: "There is another matter, according to the report of the disciples who went to Muling City, after the city was slaughtered by Hua Ruoqiu with voodoo in Muling City, there was indeed a small amount of voodoo left in Muling City. It doesn't have much of an impact on us, but it may have an impact on other soldiers in the army. Therefore, it is better to leave a wall for this army of dead corpses to attack alone. ”

Xu Zilan nodded and said, "Yes, since this group of troops came from Muling City to the east of Luo Lan City, let this army directly attack the eastern city wall." I'll deploy the army from the east to other places in a moment. ”

Jiuyuan nodded and said, "Okay." Since the day before yesterday, the barrier in Luo Lan City had disappeared. When are we going to attack the city?"

Luo Chen said: "After that barrier was dispersed, the waxy yellow barrier that appeared on the outskirts of Luo Lan City right now was the kind of defensive magic circle we saw in the middle of the city at that time. I already tried it yesterday, it should be because the scale of the arrangement is too large, and now this wax yellow defense circle is much weaker than the defense and recovery speed we have seen before. ”

Jiang Lingsu continued: "Not only is it the reason for the large scale, I think there must be also the reason for the weakness of the Heaven Covering Demon Lord. However, now there are many elders from our various parties who cannot participate in the siege of the city in the future. ”

Luo Chen's expression was a little gloomy and he said, "Yes, I sent Elder Shen to die, and Elder Li ran out of spiritual energy and it was difficult to recover in a short time. One of the Ghost Monks was seriously injured and one was exhausted. There were also two elders of Shenxiao who were also seriously injured. Then, there will only be nine people left in the strength of the Ning Dan Realm. ”

Jiu Yuan said: "We don't care about the other old demons, so let's leave that immortal Gu demon to us." ”

"Brother Jiuyuan, does he have a way to deal with that Immortal Gu Demon?" Jiang Lingsu asked.

Jiuyuan said: "That old demon's strength is indeed stronger, but I have also thought of a way in the past few days." Isn't he able to turn into countless insects and never die? Then I'll burn him with the fire of the dead!"

I asked, "I just learned about the Ghost Fire a few days ago, Senior Jiuyuan, what is this Hellfire of yours?"

Jiu Yuan looked at me and said, "The Hellfire is similar to the Ghost Fire, except that the Hellfire I refined this time is a hundred times stronger than the Ghost Fire." The power of the dark fire is great enough, but it is not easy to store it for a long time because of the trouble of refining, and after this dark fire is refined, it will be scrapped after five days of use. ”

Jiang Lingsu nodded and said, "Okay, then this time we will attack the city, and the nine of us in the city will act together, and if we encounter the immortal Gu Demon, we will hand it over to all of you." It's just that... ”

Jiang Lingsu looked at Luochen and asked, "Can the remaining six of us deal with the three old demons of the Thousand-Eyed Insect Demon, the Earth Brake Demon Lord, and the Heaven Covering Demon Lord?"

Luochen said with a firm look in his eyes: "It's okay to fight with your life." ”

Xu Zilan looked at me at this time and asked, "That... Brother You, why don't we deal with the Demon Lord of the Heavens?"
