By the time the sun rises, the monsters have divided their territories and camped to rest like humans.
Li Boxen called the newly recruited soldiers to gather at the entrance of the secret realm and asked them to look outside. Now he has a battalion under his command, organized into five centurions. Zhao Bo and Teng Zhong led the front army of 200 people, and there were more than 150 young men under the age of 40.
A 100-man regiment led by Fang Yu and a 100-man regiment commanded by Ge Xuanbai formed the central army, with about a hundred young men. Ge Xuanbai was also one of the first five promoted ten generals with good cultivation. This man was not good at talking at first, so Li Bochen didn't pay much attention to him. But last night, when he whispered to Li Bochen and pointed out Sui Wu Jiu's banner, Li Bochen realized that this man acted calmer than others at that time. I found time to ask a few more questions in the middle of the night, and learned that this man had served in the army in Jiang State, and he knew more about the military than others. Perhaps there are still many talents in this camp right now, but we can only leave it to be discovered in detail in the future.
The rear army of one hundred people was commanded by Fang Junfeng, with Xie Yusheng as his deputy. The two people had originally said that they might leave if they wanted to wear an armored convoy, but now they had nowhere to go and could only stay. In fact, if Li Boxen hadn't kidnapped them, they would have turned into flesh last night, so there would be no need to worry about their unstable position.
These people were sitting cross-legged on the grass, and Li Bochen said: "In war, you must know yourself and your enemy. Today I will tell you about these monsters."
"These things can just be regarded as smart beasts. The intelligence of first-order monsters is equivalent to that of a five- or six-year-old child. It's not that we haven't seen it before - smarter dogs can also do this. It's nothing more than quantity. If there are more, maybe the leather armor will be stronger and it will spit poison spray."
"All monsters can spontaneously absorb the moonlight to practice. Those with a slightly higher level, like the peak of spiritual enlightenment or qi-nurturing realm of human cultivation, have smarter heads. This type of monster becomes the second-level monster. The second-level monster The intelligence of beasts is very close to that of humans. Generally speaking, a second-level monster can command five hundred people——" He pointed at himself, "Just like me now."
Everyone was worried and anxious, and their morale was extremely low. He said the last sentence to make everyone feel more relaxed, but no one laughed. Li Boxen thought for a while and pointed outward: "Look over there."
"There are about a dozen battalions standing between us and the Sui army. Who can tell which of these thousands of monsters is the second level?"
In fact, it is not difficult to see it. The monsters have set up camp, and about five hundred of them are gathered together in one place. At first glance, it doesn't look as orderly as a human military camp. Instead, some are burrowing on the ground looking for blood and food, some are roaring and playing, and some are sleeping.
But if you take a closer look, you will find that they are actually grouped in order from large to small, from outside to inside, and there are a few of them patrolling back and forth, as if they were patrols maintaining order. There is also a distance between the camps, forming a passage for passing. Occasionally, monsters will rush through the passage, as if sending messages.
In the innermost part of the camp, there is usually a demonic beast lying quietly. Occasionally it will glance around gloomily, and then lie down again when there is nothing unusual.
Fang Yu moved, as if he was about to speak. Li Bochen glanced at him, and he was stunned for a moment, understanding what he meant. So after a while, a soldier said: "That... that."
Li Boxen said: "Which one?"
The soldier stood up and said: "...the one at the end of the pile, the one lying on the stone basking in the sun, has a fish head and a human body."
Li Boxen nodded and said, "Yes."
The second-level monster he was pointing to was not far away. It led a battalion and was stationed in the secret place. This made half of the five hundred or so monsters invisible behind the entrance, while the other half were only two or three steps away from them, with their armor plates and manes clearly visible. If this secret realm suddenly disappears, these people will appear directly in the middle of this camp.
When the troops first came to sit here, many people were frightened and retreated. Fang Chu punished more than a dozen people before forcing them to sit down. Now that they have been in close contact with the monster for half an hour, everyone is finally not as afraid as before.
The second-level monster that the soldiers pointed to was squatting on a big rock with only two toads separated from Li Bochen. Calling it a fish head is actually inappropriate. It just has a particularly big mouth and only two holes for its nose. At first glance, it looks like a fish head. But in fact there are red fluff on the top of the head and cheeks, which shine in the sun.
But it is indeed a human body, covered with long hair and without a tail. At this time, while sitting, he was slowly tapping the two clean bones in his hands, much like a person who is bored. But the thing's eyes were blood red and turned very fast. It looked here and there, with an extremely sinister expression.
Li Bochen said: "This thing is called Changyou - monsters also have tribes, and the names of each tribe are different and difficult to remember, so there is no need to remember them. We used to call it the Fire Monkey."
"Second-level monsters can use magic. But human magic is divided into six channels, and monsters are born with magic. There are only a few types. This kind of fire monkey's skill is to bury fire in the body of monsters. ’, when the monster rushes into the crowd, the fire explodes, causing immediate death and injury.”
"But monsters and beasts all have weaknesses. The fire monkey can make fire, which is scary to water." Li Bochen paused and said, "Do you want to see what it looks like in the water?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard what he said, and Li Bochen said: "Want to see it? Okay. I'll go and catch it right away."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then their faces relaxed, and some even had the intention to cooperate with him and laughed twice. Only Fang Yu frowned after being stunned. Just as he was about to speak, Li Bochen already made a decision, whispered a few words, turned around and took three steps forward.
His spell was to open the entrance. After these three steps, he was among the beasts. While the rest of the people were still stunned, Fang Bao drew his sword and rushed over, shouting: "Your Majesty!!"
But once he reached the entrance, he couldn't go any further. Even if he ran, he could only stay in place. Only then did everyone react. Several hundred generals also rushed forward, and then a group of people pressed forward, but they could only be blocked by an invisible barrier.
Li Bochen suddenly appeared. The two toads in front of him immediately raised his body up with their thin claws. A human head turned to look at him, its nose twitching non-stop. The expression on his face was both fierce and confused, as if for a moment Can't figure out his identity.
The monster beasts farther away reacted slower, and at this moment they just started to turn their heads, looking for the source of the unfamiliar smell. The fire monkey behind the foot toad stared, crushed the two bone sticks in his palm with a click, and opened his mouth to scream.
At this time, Li Bochen had already drawn out the magic knife, and a sword energy was slashed out of his pocket. The two toads were immediately split into two halves, and he used his strength to rush into the two corpses. The toad was not small, about the same size as an ox, and all the blood in its body was poured on him, turning him into a bloody man.
He already had the flesh and blood of monsters and beasts in his body, but when he was drenched in the smelly blood, his human taste was suddenly covered up. At this time, the fire monkey called out, and the sound was sharp and sharp, like a dozen people blowing willow whistles at the same time.
The monsters outside listened to this order and stood up one after another and roared, but for a while they couldn't find the enemy and they were just spinning around. At this time, Li Bochen had already rushed out of the bloody rain. The fire monkey's movements were extremely agile, and he would jump onto the nearest armored beast as soon as his legs exerted force.
But as soon as he jumped into the air, a large spear appeared in Li Bochen's palm and pierced it all at once.
The beast was in pain and swayed left and right on the front, which made the wound even wider. Because of this, not only did he not break away, but he slid down the pole, and he screamed in pain. When it slipped to his hand, Li Bochen immediately put the big tree away, grabbed its neck and rushed back.
The fire monkey was also the size of a child. Although it was strangled by the neck, it was still scratching and scratching with its legs and feet. But Li Bochen was wearing precious armor, so the monster's efforts were in vain. At this time, the monsters around him finally reacted and rushed towards him with a coaxing sound. Li Bochen handed the fire monkey to his left hand, and stabbed randomly with the big spear in his right hand, killing two or three more.
The monster is not afraid and is still charging forward. Li Bochen didn't want to fight anymore. He put away his big spear and grabbed the hind legs of a fallen beast. He shouted loudly and jumped back.
The entrance to the secret realm was closed, and the Hunjia beast barely managed to get in, so it was immediately cut off from the outside. The remaining demonic beasts suddenly lost their scent and traces, rushed to the entrance and collided into a ball. Because they smelled the smell of blood and lost the control of their controllers, they bit each other and started fighting after a while.
Li Bochen jumped back into the secret realm, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Last night everyone saw the monster beast raging and roaring, and everyone felt terrified. Even though he explained the habits of monsters to everyone today, he still felt that there was no hope for the future. But this time he suddenly jumped out, and in a dozen breaths of time he was able to capture the leader of the herd, just like picking something out of a bag, and everyone was dumbfounded. When they saw that he had really dragged the fire monkey back, they were all startled at first, and they all moved out of the way, and then they burst into loud cheers, almost forgetting all their previous fears.
Li Bochen's hand was extremely strong, and the monster could still struggle when it was outside. But after squeezing its neck for a while, the fire monkey could only breathe out and could not go in. It was about to be strangled to death.
Li Bochen listened to their cheers and saw the excited and ferocious expressions on their faces. He knew that these people were actually concerned about the death of the Sui army last night - in one night, they were baptized by such a turbulent wave of fear. , their impression of those dead Sui soldiers probably only had the word "human" left.
He shouted: "Bah! Smelly blood all over me!"
After saying this, he grabbed the monster and jumped into the river. Those aquatic plants immediately gave way, and the river suddenly turned red. As soon as the fire monkey entered the water, its red-skinned hair started to dance as if it were exploding, and water mist was seen rolling on a small area of the river, as if the river water was boiling.
After this stimulation, the monster regained some of its vitality, roaring and kicking its hands and feet wildly. Li Bochen wiped his face randomly, then let go of it and jumped onto the shore.
When he stepped ashore with his front feet, the Fire Monkey also climbed up with his hind feet. Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene.
Li Boxen shouted: "Fang Yu!"
Fang Yu squeezed out of the crowd and said, "Yes!"
"Get the gun!"
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment and immediately understood what he meant. He grabbed a gun from a soldier beside him, strode towards the monster, and before it jumped up, he shot it into its back and nailed it to the ground.
The monster suffered this injury again and was still alive. His cheeks puffed up, the mist steamed from his body, and a cloud of red mist came out. Li Bochen had been wary of this move for a long time. As soon as the fog came out, he immediately shouted: "Beast! How dare you!"
He stepped over and struck the red mist with one strike. Then a roaring sound was heard, and the mist turned into a ball of flame, burning the surrounding area for a long time before dissipating.
He flew up again, kicked the monster's head with a cracking sound, and said: "See clearly, this is the fire I am talking about - buried in the monster's body, if its mind moves, the monster will turn into a pool of blood. The heat is on."
He then vibrated the magic knife and took two steps away, and said loudly: "When this thing was outside, it commanded a battalion. But now it is here, and it is made of flesh and blood like you. In addition to it, other beasts are also It looks like this - they are organized in a group, and they look unstoppable like they did last night. But with their army of hundreds of thousands, they always have to eat and drink, so they can't stay with us for long."
"When the army passes and only a few hundred or thousands of these things are left, and then they are scattered, what is there to be afraid of? Just now I jumped into the herd of beasts. This thing was alert, but the group of beasts outside were still dazed - —If someone comes to our side now and wants to assassinate me, will you act like a monster?"
Everyone shouted: "Of course not!"
Li Bochen said in a deep voice: "Those five hundred monsters will never be the opponent of the five hundred of us. How could the lands of the Six Kingdoms and the billions of living beings south of Dangtu Mountain die in the hands of these stupid things? "
"Even if we are here, as long as we are here, we will kill all these beasts sooner or later. Now, pull out all your knives - use this thing to sacrifice the souls of last night!"
He took another three steps back, and the troops around him were already excited by what he said, and they rushed forward, shouting and cursing. When the people dispersed two quarters of an hour later, there was not even a scrap of flesh left on the fire monkey, and a large piece of grass had been chopped off.
At this time, everyone was panting from exhaustion, but there was light in their eyes. Li Bochen then said: "Go back and sit down, and I will tell you about the habits of the other animals outside!"
When he spoke again at this time, everyone became extremely enthusiastic, and many people even took the initiative to ask questions. After more than half an hour, his mouth was dry as he talked, but he also told about all the monsters within sight of the entrance.
After saying a few more words, he asked the five hundred generals to form their own teams to bring the people back. But Fang Yu stayed, waited for the people to go away, and whispered: "General, you suddenly went out just now, if they find out..."
Li Boxen said: "Did you find something wrong here?"
"yes."
He smiled: "They have discovered it long ago."
He hasn't slept since last night, causing his spirit to leave his body. I have noticed that in addition to setting up camp, some larger monsters are doing a strange thing - destroying the trees in the surrounding mountains.
