The night was getting closer and closer, and a ray of sunlight slanted on the skull, and the white skull seemed to be tinged with blood.
Yes, skeleton.
The army came to the city, and a dense sea of skeletons was entangled in front of the city wall. It is a spectacle that would scare ordinary people even if they take a second look at it.
Mai Shiyu had never been to the front line and had never seen the opposing army. It was hard to estimate the size of the crowd. After scanning it, he thought: Are there ten thousand? Probably not tens of thousands.
The quality of the skeletons varied, and it was difficult to estimate. Some had complete limbs, while others were badly damaged. The queue could barely be described as orderly, and there were also huge ferocious beasts emitting black smoke that pressed down on the formation and obscured the team. It’s really hard to count. But the estimate is about 10,000 to 20,000 yuan.
Although it was so spectacular, Mai Shiyu actually breathed a sigh of relief—the number was smaller than she had imagined.
At the beginning, tens of thousands of people were buried in the ancient battlefield at one time. If you put together several mass graves, you can probably collect 100,000 people, but there are not that many enemies who attack.
I am afraid that what really limits the number of skeleton armies is not the stock of corpses, but the ability of the Death Charm or the Necromancer.
The Necromancer is not a popular commodity. Back then, it was a small minority within the Wei Lingguan system. Now, after so many years of hunting down them, there are not many powerful Necromancers left. Maybe there is only one in front of you.
A single spiritual organ can activate tens of thousands of skeletons, which is already very powerful. This person's strength is probably not inferior to that of a swordsman.
But from another perspective, since it is quantity, the quality will not be high. This is a common rule in the world. If there are so many skeletons, and all of them have knights, no, even if they have the strength of a strong man, truly comparable to an elite army, then the Necromancer is not a swordsman, he is probably even stronger than the swordsman, and is directly chasing the sword immortal.
However, the upper limit of the spiritual officer is not that high. The spiritual power of the spirit officer can only match the standard Gang Qi, but cannot match the quality of the sword element. Therefore, the ability has its limit. If divided into tens of thousands of parts, these skeletons may only serve as cannon fodder.
Mai Shiyu glanced at the skeletons in the row in front of him, and then fixed his eyes on a few of them, which were complete, unusually tall, and seemed to have the power to lead an army. He made an assessment in his mind and raised his head again.
Behind the army of skeletons, in the bright morning light, several huge black shadows stood like mountains. They were ferocious beasts. Each one was surrounded by black energy. It was almost impossible to tell what kind of beast it was. Only vaguely various kinds of beasts could be seen. Sharp fangs, sharp claws, and an ugly long mouth.
"Those general skeletons look powerful, but the power attached to them is limited, and I'm afraid they are nothing more than a cover-up. What you really need to pay attention to are those ferocious beasts. Do you see how much yin energy is wrapped around their bodies? They are not only polluted, but also specially blessed. Passed. Behind the Necromancer, there is at least one powerful Beast Spirit Officer."
Mai Shiyu observed the battlefield and told Jiang Shenyi his judgment.
"Look, the first wave of battle must be these ordinary skeletons. Just like those barbarian thugs driving the captured people ants to attack the city, they are just consuming our reserves. If you waste those big moves on them, you will be successful. It’s a plan.”
Jiang Shenyi nodded. Mai Shiyu was a dabbler. Is he just a stick? It would be better to listen to Mai Shiyu's instructions. Hearing this, he said thoughtfully: "That makes sense... but ants attack the city? These skeletons can do such a difficult task." Movement? They don’t seem to have any ropes or ladders, so wouldn’t they get stuck under the city? Or are they planning to knock down the city wall with their weight?”
Mai Shiyu was confused for a moment, but then she came to her senses and said: "Those skeletons may have come to step on the trap. You must know that our battle is not an ordinary war, but a battle involving swordsmen, spiritual officers, and talisman sword masters." We may set up many obstacles outside the city, such as your thunder talisman and my red formation. If they step on it, won’t it be triggered? As long as we step on a few rounds of traps, our home field advantage can be eliminated. These cannon fodder will A worthy death."
Having said this, Mai Shiyu sneered a few times and said: "It's a good idea. My Falling Red Killing Formation can only be activated if I trigger it. What's the use of an ordinary skeleton stepping on it? The same goes for your Thunder Talisman, right?"
Jiang Shenyi said: "No. It is passively triggered. It will explode as soon as you step on it."
Mai Shiyu:......
"Forget it, it's better to get the head start."
Seeing the skeleton army approaching the formation, and about to step into Jiang Shenyi's talisman formation, the team suddenly stopped.
When he said stop, the whole team stopped. Although the queue is not neat, the Skeleton Army can order and prohibit, and it is comparable to the elite iron army.
The group parted, and an ugly beast crawled out. The giant beast had a shell on its back and was covered in gray and greasy. Its two soft tentacles dragged the ground like a snail. Only it has one more fangs than ordinary snails.
Mai Shiyu didn't bother to laugh, "The turtles now only have snails. Do you think the ones with shells are turtles?" Instead, he stared at the person on the snail's back.
There are two people on the snail's back, one sitting and one standing. Sitting was an old man with white beard and hair, and standing was a beautiful woman. Her facial features seemed to have been carefully carved, without any flaws. She was holding the old man's head with her hands. The old man closed his eyes and seemed to be lost. consciousness.
Mai Shiyu couldn't bear it any longer and shouted: "Guardian Envoy——"
"boom!"
The sudden iron fist hit the chain, causing the chain to vibrate and almost collapse.
not good!
Is it a surprise attack from the demon in the empty cave? !
Tang Zhao was stunned and immediately activated the talisman and tightened the chain.
The original seven chains were thickened at the same time, and seven more chains were drilled out of the jade and wrapped around the space again. The blockade immediately became tighter, as if all the gaps had been sealed with sealing strips.
Bang-bang!
His fist hit the chain. Although the chain still vibrated, it was no longer as dangerous as before.
"Come on, keep fighting. There's not enough. Let me see how many chains you can shake?"
There are seven or forty-nine chains hidden in this star stone, which can be released together, or seven by seven. After placing a total of 7,749 star stones, they were completely scrapped.
Although this magic circle is non-renewable, because it is a gift, it is considered free. Tang Zhao does not cherish it so much. He is waving chains one by one. If the demon inside is still strong, then the seven or forty-nine chains will be pressed together. It doesn’t hurt to go up.
In any case, at this critical moment, the demon must not come out.
The demon punched dozens of times, but the momentum became smaller and smaller, and then he stopped.
Suddenly, two big hands came out, inserted into the gap in the chain, grabbed the links of the chain, and opened it, as if to expand the gap in the chain!
Tang Zhao raised his eyebrows. This time, he clearly saw ten fingers!
The fingers were thick, twice as thick as his hand, but the joints and nails clearly looked like human hands. Moreover, the action of picking off the chain shows that the other party is still rational despite being violent. I know that this action is labor-saving, and my fingers are flexible, so I can do it like a human being.
It wasn't that he was making a fuss, it was that he had only seen one demon, that dragon. The dragon-shaped devil is powerful, but I don't think it is very smart. At most, it is somewhat spiritual. In battle, it is just instinctive and reckless, no different from a cunning beast.
If that demon had been willing to think like a human being, Xing Ji and Tang Zhao might have become cold.
So, are the demons of a different species this time?
Tang Zhao thought like this and couldn't help but look at his hands again. Sure enough, because he pulled the chain too hard, the veins on the back of his hands popped out, and the veins moved like human meridians. Looking at the details, the finger joints were thick and there were calluses on the knuckles. , with a slight body hair, looks like a thick and strong man who has practiced martial arts.
Something moved in his mind: I have long heard that the Phantom is the spiritual official of another world, and the Heavenly Demon is the native of another world. Have you seen the Heavenly Demon? What is the name of the humanoid race in another world, the demons?
This devil is really manic. Jiaolong was not so manic before. He only became mad after being beaten. He looked as if there was a wolf chasing behind him and he was in a hurry to escape from the devil's cave.
However, is it okay to reach out to other worlds and just use your strength?
Tang Zhao's heart moved, and two more chains flew out and entangled the hands. The hands felt restrained and immediately reached back to hold them. Two more chains were wrapped around them in reverse, tightening their fingers and then wrapping around their wrists. Four chains were tightened at the same time, cuffing the hands to the chain railing.
This time, it was really hard to move!
This was Tang Zhao's moment of mercy, otherwise if he had tightened his grip just a little bit, it would have been the same as a torture tool, and he would have given the devil a taste of how it feels to have ten fingers connected to one's heart!
After fixing his hands on the chains, Tang Zhao felt a little more at ease and looked through the vague entrance to the space, wanting to see what this demon looked like.
The exit of the space is like frosted glass. The light is distorted when it passes through. It is impossible to see the specific scene on the opposite side. However, you can vaguely see that the demon is tall, but it is only as tall as a person. It is comparable to the space exit. The height is higher, and the hands are Chained to the railing, he seemed to be struggling and roaring, but no sound could be heard.
With this guy's ability, he can't get out once he's locked up!
Tang Zhao confirmed that he had the situation under control, and gradually focused on the outside of the city. He heard the roar in his ears, and it seemed that thousands of troops had arrived outside the city, and he took out Lord Turtle with his backhand.
"Oh... what is this?" Master Turtle first shrank his head when he saw the tug-of-war of space barriers, and said, "Where did you find the devil?"
Tang Zhao hurriedly said: "Master Gui, let me give you something. Now there is a big enemy attacking outside the city, but I have to watch the devil's cave here without being able to separate myself. This is not possible. You take this concentric jade, We can communicate, and then you..."
Turtle Master said in shock: "You want to go to the front to support me and let me watch this ghost thing from behind to prevent it from coming out? Do you think too highly of me?"
Turtle has many advantages, certainly not including his outstanding fighting ability. Let him watch this devil alone until the devil can't move. If something goes wrong, Lord Turtle's life may not be enough for these two hands to break him.
Of course Tang Zhao knew what it was worth, and said: "On the contrary, I want you to go outside the city and watch for an opportunity for me! If I stay here, I can still kill the enemy at the front!"
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he meets someone he knows, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possessing the memory of a previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
