In the darkness, which was so dense that it was almost indissoluble, the lights at the top of the city only illuminated about ten feet away.
"Brother, in my opinion, open the city gate. I will take the brothers down to the city and form a formation first!" Xiong Wancheng put his armor in place, holding a huge drum half a man high in his left hand and a five-foot-long drum like an animal bone in his right hand. drum hammer, said in a dull voice.
"No~" Xiong Wanlin directly rejected Xiong Wancheng's proposal without thinking about it.
"General, may I take my thirteenth brother to investigate?"
Xiong Wanlin looked up and saw that the person speaking was the eldest son of the Lang family. Lang's eyes were firm and he was carrying a long bow that was half taller than his body. He also had a moon-shaped scimitar that was more than a foot long in his waist.
"Yeah~" Xiong Wanlin nodded, "Take Lang Shisan with you. Remember to return immediately as soon as you see traces of the demon army, and don't fight!"
"Your order~" Boss Lang saluted and waved to a lean man with short beard behind him, "Thirteenth brother, follow me!"
After saying that, Boss Lang jumped down to the city like a big bird, followed closely by Lang Shisan, and the two figures quickly disappeared into the dark night.
Xiong Wanlin turned around and looked at the Lang family brothers and Xiong Wancheng behind him. His mouth moved, but he didn't know what to say.
Xiong Wanlin knew that every move he made was in the eyes of his brothers, and he could not show even a little bit of cowardice at this moment.
Following the Immortal Saint for hundreds of years, he has experienced countless battles, big and small. Even when he faced an enemy several times stronger than himself, Xiong Wanlin had never been afraid. But at this moment, looking at the soldiers all over the city, Xiong Wanlin felt retreat for the first time. meaning.
The next moment, Xiong Wanlin looked to the distant west. Before, he could still see the lights of the people heading west outside the city, but now they could hardly see them.
Lang Shiyi knew what Xiong Wanlin was thinking, and said loudly, "General, the people have safely exited the city under the escort of Lao Qi and Lao Ba. In one hour, they can retreat to Beixiao Mountain and follow the mountain road to From the south, you can enter Beixiao Mountain!"
"Okay!" Xiong Wanlin nodded heavily, turned back and looked outside the city.
The generals at the top of the city were all confidants who had fought with Xiong Wanlin for many years. Seeing how abnormal Xiong Wanlin was today, their hearts felt as if a stone had been pressed down on them. They wanted to hear him roar, and everyone rushed to the city. Regardless of whether he was a demon or a monster, they wanted to kill him first. After a while, I relieved the suffocation in my heart.
Unfortunately, the enemy never showed up, and even at night, there was not a single wild beast under the city.
There was only a full moon in the sky, half covered by a thin mist, hanging there godlessly.
Ouch~, a long wolf howl came from far outside the city, and the sound was full of urgency.
"It's brother!" Lang Shiyi couldn't hold back at first, "He's in danger!"
Xiong Wanlin held down Lang Shiyi, who was about to jump down the city, and reached out to grab the long bow from Lang Shiyi's back.
Xiong Wanlin's archery skills are far inferior to those of the Lang family, who are known for sneak attacks and speed, but his brute strength is unparalleled by anyone in the demon clan for hundreds of years.
He took an arrow, dipped it in the thick fat in the big pot next to him, and lit it. Xiong Wanlin set the arrow on the arrow, and the giant bow squeaked under Xiong Wanlin's strength. Whoosh~, the sound of breaking through the air sounded, The feather arrow flew straight to the outside of the city a hundred feet away with flames.
"It's the eldest brother!" Lang Shi had the strongest eyesight. Under the light of the arrows, he first saw a giant wolf with a hunchback and a man on its back, running quickly towards the city. The man on its back was motionless and did not know whether he was alive or dead.
As the giant wolf ran, he kept looking back and howling.
Everyone couldn't help but wonder. The arrow sent by Xiong Wanlin flew very far until it landed five or sixty feet behind Boss Lang, and then slowly fell. However, no pursuers were found in the firelight. Lang Shisan was Lang. The most talented youngster in the family for more than a hundred years, in terms of speed and ability to escape danger, he is not weaker than the elder brother Lang.
The two of them were discovered before they had even had a cup of tea, and it looked like Lang Shisan was seriously injured.
Xiong Wanlin fired several arrows in succession.
The giant wolf transformed by Boss Lang felt a little relieved when he saw the arrow fired by Xiong Wanlin on the city, but his speed did not slow down. In a few breaths, he had arrived at the city, changed back to his human form, and grabbed the unconscious Lang Shi with one hand. Third, he grabbed a protruding stone on the city wall with his body, and with force, he fell directly to the top of the city.
"How?" Xiong Wanlin saw that Lang Shisan was covered in blood, but he didn't find any wounds on him, but he had been dead for a long time.
"Thirteenth brother!" Lang Shiyi shouted softly, his eyes blazing with fire, and the other brothers around him also gritted their teeth.
Boss Lang knew what Xiong Wanlin meant. He even took a few breaths without explaining anything. He grabbed the giant bow and flew a flaming arrow into the distance.
Lang Laodao's strength was much inferior to Xiong Lin's, but the arrow still shot a distance of seventy or eighty feet.
Xiong Wanlin looked at the beacon fire ball flying in the air. Just when he was confused, the fire ball was extinguished before it fell to the ground.
"What is this?" Xiong Wanlin was shocked. The kerosene on the arrow was not ordinary oil, but a fire-melting beast taken from the ground. A torch made of the grease of this beast would not be easily lit even on a rainy day. extinguished.
There must be something in the darkness.
Boss Lang had a pained expression on his face, "I don't know what it was, I didn't see it clearly! I just felt a buzzing sound. The thirteenth brother rushed in front of me. When I heard the sound, the thirteenth brother had already fallen down! "
Xiong Wanlin, who was experienced in the battlefield, did not think about what it was for a moment. He took a step forward, squatted on the ground and touched Lang Shisan's body.
"Is it a ghost bat!?" Xiong Wanlin was shocked.
Decades ago, Xiong Wanlin once encountered several pure black bats more than a foot long in the mountains of the far north. The sound produced by such things is so small that ordinary people cannot hear it, but this sound has a great impact on people. The higher the level of spiritual practice, the greater the impact. This sound can cause the true energy in a person's body to boil instantly, which can cause one to go crazy or, in severe cases, cause one's true energy to explode and kill one's body.
Fortunately, Xiong Wanlin did not face these bats at that time, but was just touched by them passing by. After returning to the Beast Fighting City, Xiong Wanlin met with Granny Fox, and then learned from Granny Fox that this kind of thing is called a ghost bat. Alien species among bats are extremely rare.
It is actually not difficult to get rid of the influence of ghost bats. You only need to make whistles or other sounds on your own, as long as they can cover up the sound waves of ghost bats. However, the difficulty lies in that if ordinary people notice the cry of ghost bats, At that time, it was already affected, and it was not easy to mention cultivation again.
"War drum~" Xiong Wanlin roared.
"I'll do it!" Xiong Wancheng put down the drum in his hand, stepped over, grabbed the sledgehammer from the drummer behind him, yelled, grabbed the thick and long bone stick in his hand, and pointed it toward him, which was taller than his body. A huge drum that was more than double the size was beaten.
Boom~
A crisp drum beat made people's ears hurt, but when struck by the strange bone stick in Xiong Wancheng's hand, although the sound made people's ears numb, there was an intense fighting spirit in the sound. It makes people's blood boil and their fighting spirit surges.
Xiong Wanlin nodded. At this time, everyone in the city saw that Boss Lang had a bad start. He came back defeated after just one cup of tea. Moreover, Lang Shisan, who had always been a loud voice, died directly. Although everyone did not say anything, their momentum was was greatly affected.
Although the third brother Xiong Wancheng does not have the tactics of his elder brother Xiong Wanlin, he has followed his elder brother for many years and obeys his orders 100%. He knows that the most important thing is to stabilize the morale of the army at this time, and this is when his weapons come in handy.
The drum he was holding was called the Jiuli War Drum. It was made from the skin of the Chongming Beast. The huge bone was the leg bone of the Chongming Beast. It could be used as a weapon or as a drum hammer. In conjunction with the Xiong family's martial arts, there were It has the magical effect of boosting spirits and boosting morale.
Although Xiong Wanlin knew how powerful the ghost bats were, there were war drums every ten feet or so on the city, and these war drums were also the nemesis of the ghost bats.
Taking a step back, even if there are no war drums, the ghost bats will only affect a small area and will not have much impact on the battle situation. What he hates in his heart is that the demon world actually uses ghost bats. It can be seen that it is to do With enough preparation, this battle may be inevitable.
Xiong Wanlin slammed the sledgehammer to the top of the city, causing the ground to shake. He shouted into the darkness, "You bastards from the demon world, we, the demon world, have always been at odds with you. Today, you actually invaded my city. What's wrong with you?" Show your face as soon as you plant it, and let your Grandpa Bear see your whole body!"
Xiong Wanlin shouted with tenfold force, and his voice shook the valley and spread far away. Even the unmelted snow on the top of the city fell with it.
"General Xiong said it well~"
"Yes, the bastards from the demon world came out to meet grandpa~"
"Kill you back to the ghost cave~"
There were shouts of killing from the top of the city, and morale improved a little bit.
Phew~
There was a breeze blowing at the top of the city, and Xiong Wanlin was keenly aware that there was a faint smell of blood in the wind, but this bloody smell was not the smell of fresh blood.
Before Xiong Wanlin could react, Boss Lang exclaimed, "In addition to the ghost bat's voice just now, there was also this bloody aura. The blood spots on the thirteenth brother's body are due to the influence of this aura!"
Xiong Wanlin felt that all the hairs on his body stood upright with the smell of blood, and he felt a sense of disgust in his trance.
He was startled, "This is a trick from the underworld, Wan Cheng, don't stop!"
Xiong Wancheng didn't need his elder brother's reminder. He roared, picked up the Chongming war drum on the ground, waved the Chongming bone in his hand, and banged on the drum surface, "Warriors, beat the war drums!"
Under the influence of Xiong Wancheng's war drums, the pain that had just risen on the faces of the people in the city was once again covered up by the fighting spirit. It was not known whether it was the light of the fire or the influence of the war drums, but everyone's face was covered with a layer of red.
Looking further away, the soldiers on the distant city were not so lucky. Although there were animal skin war drums beating constantly, the effect was obviously much worse than that of Chongming war drums. Some monsters with weaker strength were beating. The clan warrior had already bent over and started vomiting.
"Rocket array!" Xiong Wanlin greeted.
After giving the order, tens of thousands of archers on the top of the city fired their arrows into the darkness.
The night sky was suddenly reflected as bright as day.
Xiong Wanlin looked forward and felt a sudden shock in his heart. He saw groups of ghost bats hovering in mid-air more than a hundred feet away from the city wall. As the ghost bats made a harsh cry, a figure appeared in front of the ghost bats. The shadow of a beast.
Xiong Wanlin suddenly understood. No wonder not to mention monster beasts, not even ordinary beasts, have been seen in the city in recent days. It turned out that they were all killed by people from the demon world, and at the same time they were refined into spiritual bodies using the technique of the underworld.
No wonder there is blood smell in the air, the underworld has joined forces with the demon world!
The ghost bats reacted very quickly, and because their bodies were black, the tens of thousands of feather arrows had no impact on them. On the contrary, the demonic beast spirit bodies in mid-air advanced several tens of feet, and they were at the front. We are approaching the city head.
Xiong Wanlin has no problem charging and leading troops. Unfortunately, what he is facing today is this kind of ghostly thing. Even if he is given ten heads, he can't think of a way. But Xiong Wanlin knows in his heart that if he has no way, then the soldiers behind him will They and the people in the city who were not out of danger could only be slaughtered.
