About two-quarters of an hour later, a bright line of fire appeared in the northwest, advancing in the direction of Hou City and the camp, and half of the sky turned orange. Against such a large screen, the slender black figure of the third-order monster is particularly obvious, like some kind of machine without emotion or consciousness.
But what is more conspicuous than them are the zombies - twelve zombies with different shapes, which are much taller than the third-level monsters, and are really no different from the hills. Around them, hundreds of thousands of monsters covered the entire wilderness, and their roars set off waves after waves, making the grass at the entrance to the secret realm tremble.
Li Bochen knew that this meant that the Linxi Army should have been completely wiped out.
Under the advancing tide of monsters, the Linxi Army could not kill many people. Then the main "raw materials" that make up the twelve zombie bodies that are tens of meters high should be the corpses of those people.
At this time, he was standing at the entrance, with more than forty soldiers sitting on the grass behind him. Except for the people working further back, everyone else is here. Li Boxen wanted them to see the scene in the distance with their own eyes - no matter how scared they might be, the things there would have to be faced sooner or later. I only hope that after witnessing such a tragic scene like a fiery purgatory, these people will grow up quickly.
At this time, the Sui army in the camp also organized its troops. One battalion of 500 people galloped to the northwest, while the rest retreated to the east. Li Bochen knew that the people in that battalion were not going to support the Linxi Army, but were dead soldiers. These people will use their flesh and blood to buy even a little time for the army so that they can find a way to survive.
No matter what kind of person Sui Wujiu was, he was indeed able to get his subordinates to die. Li Bochen felt his eyes burning as he looked at the battalion of people speeding away amid the curtain of fire. He even had an idea in his mind - if I didn't have Beichen's luck and was just an ordinary cultivator, a commander in the camp... I would feel much more at ease.
But he knew that retreating eastward would be a dead end. Just now we learned that there were tens of thousands of monsters surrounding Xuantu City in the east. Zhu Hou led his army to defend the city but failed to hold it. At this time, he had fled into the mountains again, with only dozens of living dead and countless people around him. Baiyin soldiers.
And those monster beasts soon appeared on the horizon, stretching as far as the eye could see, covering the entire field of vision.
At this time, the main force of the Sui army stopped. After a while, another battalion of dead soldiers went eastward, and the rest came to the secret realm.
Sui Wujiu had previously gathered the Hou Cheng and Xuantu armies. Excluding those two battalions, the number of troops at this time was about 4,000. Those two battalions were undoubtedly soldiers brought by him. It stands to reason that even four thousand people can fight, but at this time, people's hearts are wandering, and it is impossible to impose orders and prohibitions. Even the God of War is still alive and there is nothing he can do.
Seeing the forward of this army getting closer and closer, a person beside him said: "Junhou, if they..."
Do you want to make a fuss about the local atmosphere or force your way in?
Li Bochen was not worried about this. Although his cultivation level is not as high as that of Sui Wu Jiu, as Beichen, his ability to mobilize earth energy is unparalleled. If Sui Wu Jiu really did that, it would only accelerate his demise.
Li Boxen said: "Don't worry."
After hearing him say these four words, the people around him no longer asked, but were obviously relieved.
These people behind him must really regard themselves as the backbone at this time. He originally thought that it would take several months of practice to achieve this step, but the monster's surprise attack made it possible for him.
After a while, the shining armor of the former army could be seen. Li Bochen suddenly said loudly: "Everyone sit down and don't make any sound!"
The people around him were stunned, but Li Bochen took a deep breath and held the handle of the knife.
After about ten breaths, the ground beneath my feet began to tremble slightly, as if a giant dragon was shaking gently underneath. Then the tremors became stronger and stronger, and thunder rumbled in his ears. Then, the pebbles on the ground began to dance, and the grass danced like crazy.
The Sui army's vanguard suddenly stopped, with despair on everyone's face. The orders in the army could no longer be heard clearly, so the soldiers abandoned their helmets and armor, turned around and ran back in a swarm. They rushed forward and backward, immediately trampling and killing countless people, but they did not retreat far.
Then, a large black shadow suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes at the entrance to the secret realm, roaring forward with thunder. At this time, they couldn't even hear what they shouted close to their ears - the monster beasts rushed out of the valley behind the secret realm and rushed towards the Sui army's formation. But they seemed to be trapped in the herd of beasts, and they could see the huge The ferocious appearance of small and large monsters and the smell of smoke and dust. Although they were not worried for the time being in the secret realm, seeing this scene with their own eyes at such a close distance made everyone's faces pale and horrified, and some even had a seizure. He screamed, but the scream was also muffled.
The Sui army is no longer in sight. They were drowned in the waves and smoke.
The tide of beasts rushing out of the valley lasted for two quarters of an hour and must have numbered in the tens of thousands. Li Bochen stood upright with the knife in his hand, feeling chilled in his heart.
The demon spirit that leads this wave of demonic beasts is extremely smart. Divide the army of more than 100,000 into three groups, and toy with the Linxi Army and Sui Army like driving livestock, giving people a glimmer of hope, but it is immediately cut off. Is this the demon spirit that destroyed Wuliang, Wanyou, Maitreya and other cities before?
The tide of beasts pushed past, slowly revealing the broken armor and flesh and blood crushed into mud and water.
Li Bochen and everyone stood there blankly for a while, feeling weak all over, and whispered: "Okay, let's go back."
At this time, north of Hou City, they should be the only ones hiding in the secret realm still alive.
He turned around and just took two steps when he heard someone exclaim: "Look, Lord!!"
Li Bochen turned around and saw the soldier raising his hand and pointing in the direction of the camp, with a strange light shining in his eyes. He immediately turned around again and looked over there——
Sui Wu Jiu's large banner was erected in the camp.
Did he take the remnants of the army and retreat into the camp? ?
Then I saw that the flag almost fell down several times, but was raised several times. Fire slowly appeared in the camp, and the monster beast army surrounded it layer by layer. The monsters in the sky were falling down like dark clouds, but the fire, lightning, and sword-like golden light on the wall swayed one after another, and the monsters also fell like a heavy rain.
Then a third-level demonic beast moved over there, and the beasts around it surged like a tidal wave, and two more zombies pounced on it.
The wall erected by Li Boxen was nearly ten meters high, but it was originally intended to block the stragglers of monsters. But those two zombies were thirty to forty meters long, and for them, they could cross the village wall in one step.
At this moment, a ball of light suddenly burst out in the camp, briefly illuminating the entire world. Then a white light shot out, hitting the head of the third-level monster.
The slender black figure swayed, and its upper body spread out like clouds, but it slowly gathered again after a while. A second ray of light immediately shot out from the camp, and the monster's body finally collapsed.
As soon as the third-level monster died, the two menacing zombies also stopped and suddenly disintegrated. The surrounding beasts also roared and fell into chaos, and the monsters in the sky were swept in all directions like strong winds.
As a result, the offensive outside the camp weakened a bit, and Sui Wujiu's banner finally stood firmly. After a while, the fire in the camp gradually faded away, and it was time to kill the monsters in the camp.
Li Boxen didn't know how many remnants there were in the camp, but he saw that the second wave of white light that completely killed the third-level monster was much weaker than the first wave. If Sui Wujiu sent it, it must mean that he was also exhausted, right?
But even so, his cultivation is really shocking - he can still protect some people among the tens of thousands of beasts, and he can even retreat to the village!
At this time, a loud scream suddenly came from the wilderness, and the beasts all stopped in response to the sound, retreated one after another, and gave way to the camp. There were two third-level monsters coming further away, and they stopped at this time.
Is it that demon spirit? ?
Because he saw Sui Wujiu killing a third-level man with two strikes, he didn't want to attack?
As he expected, after a while, no monsters went to attack the stronghold anymore, only surrounding them. The remaining third-level commanders wandered south, gathering the corpses and gathering them into zombies.
Li Bochen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and felt a little cold on his face. When he raised his hand and touched it, his eyes were already wet. He was stunned for a moment, then sighed again. Sui Wujiu brought the monsters into this place, and it was his own fault. But the way those people in the camp stood firm reminded him of the time in Wuliang City.
Before tonight... they were still rivals who plotted against each other. But after tonight, they are just humans.
