Chapter 673: Insect Pest (Part 2)
The prairie barbarians were directly affected. Their enthusiasm for war increased and they once again sent a large number of barbarian soldiers to attack Yingyang Pass. The barbarian shamans and demon warlocks at the rear of the army also felt that their sacrificial blood witchcraft and black magic seemed to be easier to perform and more powerful.
Under the influence of the hallucinogenic power of the light blue smoke, they did not realize anything was wrong. Instead, they excitedly used witchcraft to support the soldiers and summoned powerful magic to attack the city. Without stopping.
A demon cultivator in black robes inside the camp seemed to have noticed something. He frowned and looked around, sniffed again, and muttered to himself, "It's strange, why is the evil aura in this battlefield so much stronger, and it seems that Something happened?"
A shaman next to him, who was covered in totem patterns and wearing animal skins and bird feathers, with a gloomy face, couldn't help but "quack!" Hearing this, he laughed strangely a few times and said in a voice like a night owl: "We are all on the grassland. This time the big tribe summoned most of the warriors to go south to attack the Song Dynasty, but they were blocked by Yingyang Pass for so long. They fought for many days, with more than 10,000 casualties, and the battlefield became more evil. Is it any wonder?"
After saying that, he recited a few incantations with strange syllables in his mouth, then dipped his hand into a bottle filled with dark red special blood on his waist and dipped some blood into it. He swung it forward and it immediately turned into a large cloud of dark red mist. , enveloped the prairie barbarians on the battlefield ahead.
These prairie barbarians who had absorbed the dark red mist immediately seemed to be on stimulants. Their faces were excited, their eyes were blood-red, and their bodies had even swelled by three points. They rushed towards Yingyang Pass with a frantic mentality and fought with the defenders.
"Gah ga ga! This 'Demonized Bloodthirsty Technique' that combines the essence of black magic and witchcraft is really powerful. Coupled with the blood essence of this powerful monster and the increase of the evil aura on the battlefield, the power is increased by three points." Shaman The wizard saw that the combat effectiveness of the barbarians in the prairie ahead was greatly enhanced with the blessing of his spells, and he suddenly smiled with satisfaction.
The Demonic Cultivator looked around again. Apart from the fact that the evil spirit on the battlefield had become more intense and a black-gray cloud had even begun to appear in the sky, he found no other abnormality. He also shook his head. Secretly thinking that he might just be paranoid, he immediately cast spells with the shaman to cooperate with the large-scale attack of the prairie barbarians.
They didn't realize that the clouds that they thought were the manifestation of evil spirits were slowly expanding at an imperceptible speed all the time. As more and more people were killed and injured on the battlefield, the color of evil spirits became more and more intense. , the core part has even seeped blood red, and is extremely evil.
And an extremely weak, but very evil spiritual wave also enveloped a ten-mile radius, constantly distorting the thoughts of all creatures inside. The more powerful the creature, the stronger the mental wave that enveloped its head, such as a shaman. and demon cultivators.
If you are an expert who has studied the evil gods of the universe here, you will definitely exclaim "evil fetal movement"! This is an innate skill that the fetal egg before the birth of the Evil God's kin can display under the instinct of self-protection. It can confuse and alienate all surrounding creatures. This "evil fetal movement" will not stop until the Evil God's kin is born.
This kind of mental distortion is slow and subtle, so they didn't notice it at all. Even under the influence of this fluctuation, they continued to make what they thought was the "right" move, sending batches of prairie barbarians into the battlefield, but they didn't know what they were doing after they died in battle. Turning a blind eye to abnormalities such as human corpses withering away and blood disappearing.
Time passed, and the battle under Yingyang Pass had lasted for seven days and seven nights in the blink of an eye. The casualties on both sides of the war were also very tragic. Under the influence of the "evil fetal movement", the prairie barbarians attacked like crazy, not caring about themselves at all. casualties. Even when they discovered that too many people and horses had died, the confused shaman chiefs continued to send messengers to summon other grassland tribes.
Under such a steady stream of attacks, regardless of casualties, although Yingyang Pass has the defensive advantages of a fortified city and a city protection formation, it is isolated and helpless, lacking supplies of materials and manpower, and is now on the verge of being destroyed. The garrison generals have received Feijian's message. Since barbarians from all directions have recently launched attacks on the Song border, it is difficult to mobilize manpower. However, as long as they persist for one more day, a group of retired priests from the front line of the battle with the Demon Legion in the northwest can be dispatched to support them.
Therefore, despite the fierce enemy offensive, the Yingyang Pass defenders were still gritting their teeth and persisting.
No one noticed that the bodies of both warring parties had undergone some degree of alienation. The soldiers of the Song Dynasty in the city were okay. Because they were protected by the city defense formation, they only had brown spots and pimples of varying sizes on their skin. However, the changes in the grassland barbarians who had no protection at all were even greater.
Since he has been under the influence of demonic magic for a long time, his body has already been demonized to a certain extent. Then he was infected by the magical power of this evil god-turned-devil insect. The two seemed to have some kind of special superimposed reaction, causing the prairie barbarians to appear all over their bodies. A large area of scales, a dark carapace appeared on the chest and back, and tentacles of different lengths sprouted from the top of the head. The fingers and toes gradually closed up and became arthropod-like. Even the eyes became several times larger, and there were many circles inside. The turbid blood streaks formed a grid.
Overall, it looks like a cross between an ant, a beetle, and a human.
The more alienated the prairie barbarians are, the stronger their combat effectiveness is, but the more they lose their sanity. Some even start to go crazy and attack their surrounding companions in the camp, causing a lot of chaos.
By now, anyone who could still maintain their sense would have realized something was wrong. Because not only the soldiers on both sides, but also the evil spirit in the sky has condensed into a huge black and gray face. The split mouth seems to be grinning, and as time goes by, it slowly descends to the ground, making people watch. All shuddered.
Unfortunately, the cultivation of the shamans and demon cultivators on the grassland barbarian side is not enough to withstand the pollution of "evil fetal movement". They have also been partially alienated and only know how to fight and kill. Although the worshipers and military masters in Yingyang Pass were not greatly affected by the protection of the defensive formation, they thought that these changes were caused by the other party's sorcery and magic, so they just continued to wait for help, without thinking of anything else. place.
Finally, it was midnight, the moon was setting, the stars were dim, and the world was plunged into darkness.
And a huge change also happened here.
