Chapter 406: Demonic Troops Approaching

Chapter 406: Demonic Troops Approaching The third senior brother was also standing on the left side of Lin Jue. He had also learned fire magic and was about to cast a spell to burn the insects, but his fire magic was very mediocre. When he saw the blazing fire cloud pushed out by the junior sister next to him and Wan Xinrong blowing out countless sparks, he stopped decisively to save some energy. The soldiers on the city wall also put on masks. This is because Lin Jue had dealt with goblins, ghosts, and evil spirits that could control poisonous insects and spit black water before, so in the past few months, he specifically reminded everyone to be prepared. It can be used to repel insects at this time. However, I never expected that this black cloud, which came with great force, would disappear without a trace before it got close to the top of the city. All that was left was a patch of crawling insects on the ground, emitting a burnt smell. The soldiers on the city wall were surprised, but also immediately relieved. However, the other side did not give them any chance to breathe - "Kakaka..." The colorful cat on the city wall looked up into the distance with its eyes fixed on it. Its mouth moved up and down, making a popping sound.

Everyone looked over. As soon as the poisonous insects were killed, a black cloud immediately emerged from the surging fog. Before the black cloud came closer, a chaotic chirping and creaking sound was heard, as if countless mouths were speaking at the same time, which was both annoying and frightening. “Birds!” The junior sister shouted. Some soldiers have already drawn their bows. "Don't worry, everyone! Leave it to us!" Lin Jue shouted hastily upon seeing this, not wanting them to waste their energy and arrows - There were so many birds in this flock, so vast and boundless that the black cloud they formed almost blocked out the sky. Not to mention the small size of the birds, how many people could hit them with a bow and arrow? Even if they could hit them, how long would it take to shoot such a large flock of birds, and how much energy and arrows would it take? Some soldiers put down their bows and arrows and shouted: "Don't draw the bow!" "Master Lin has ordered! Do not draw the bow!" "Don't draw the bow..." Hundreds of voices echoed across the city walls. As the news spread, dark clouds were approaching. Even the birds were visible— There are eagles, falcons, kites, owls, hawks, vultures, as well as birds like crows and shrike, all kinds of birds of prey, and their number must be counted in tens of thousands. It is truly a dark cloud pressing down on the city! And this black cloud is really here to destroy them! Where had the soldiers ever seen such a scene? They all gritted their teeth and held their bows and weapons tightly, unable to resist the urge to draw their bows. But I only heard a loud shout from the front: "My fellow Taoists! You are originally birds and spirits of mountains and rivers in the mortal world. Why did you listen to the evil spirits, help the monsters to commit atrocities, and bring about a disaster that will kill you? Why don't you retreat immediately!" Everyone could tell that it was Master Lin's voice.

I thought it was just an ordinary exhortation, spoken to me out of habit and compassion by the ascetics, but I never thought that once this voice sounded, it would easily spread throughout the sky, and it kept echoing in the sky, forming waves: "Why don't you retreat quickly... "Retreat quickly... “Back off…” Something surprising happened - The black cloud in the distance was just like the previous black cloud, surging in with strong winds, but after it encountered the voice of Master Lin, it suddenly became chaotic. Everyone could clearly see that with just this one sentence, at least half of the black cloud split apart and dispersed in all directions. The dark clouds suddenly became much thinner. Lin Jue was not surprised to see this scene. People all have hearts, so don’t birds have hearts too? Although there are definitely monsters on the other side that can drive away birds, and they may even be bird monsters themselves, this kind of thing cannot be accomplished by magic power alone. Some birds can tell who is good and who is evil, who wants them to die and who values ​​their lives and wants them to leave, and they can make their choices naturally. On the contrary, some birds make their decisions based on kinship and race, and they naturally stay. "Most of those who stayed behind are falcons and crows. There must be monsters transformed from falcons and crows in the fog opposite!" The third senior brother looked forward. "Ok!" As they were talking, the falcon was approaching. Still the same as before—— Lin Jue swung his arm, and a large cloud of yellow smoke emerged from his robe sleeves. The junior sister pushed her hand and a blazing cloud of fire surged out. Wan Xinrong took a small Yuandan given by Lin Jue and recovered some of his magic power. He then raised the lantern high and blew out sparks like a river. The strong wind also comes to help! Whether it was yellow smoke, fire clouds, or Martian rivers, they were all blown away into the distance by the strong winds. However, these hawks, falcons and crows were much smarter than the poisonous insects before. When they saw the yellow smoke and fire clouds coming towards them, their bodies would become stiff as soon as they touched the yellow smoke, and they would crash into the city wall. They had not even touched the fire cloud, but the high temperature alone caused a large number of them to fall down. Sparks came surging, and if they touched one, there would be a bloody hole, and white smoke would rise from their bodies. They made prompt decisions, some flapped their wings in the strong wind to increase their altitude, and some flew to the left and right, in three directions, bypassing the yellow smoke, fire clouds and the Milky Way. However, the yellow smoke, fire clouds and the Milky Way are all under human control and change direction with them. Even the wind at this moment was on the Taoist's side. It would blow in whichever direction the Taoist wanted it to go. Only the fox is the most clever—— It also raised its head and spit out yellow smoke, but compared to the previous khaki-yellow smoke, this time the smoke was lighter, brighter and more psychedelic. As long as the raptor was touched by it, its head would start to feel dizzy. Looking around, its former companions would gradually become the prey that it often enjoyed in the past. Some birds of prey could no longer fly, had difficulty turning, and were blown down by the wind. Some birds of prey had their feathers blown off, or had bloody holes on their bodies from burning sparks, and fell down. There were also hawks and falcons fighting each other in the air. Falcons kept falling down.

There were also falcons that swooped down on the city walls and attacked the soldiers' vital points with their sharp claws and beaks, as fast as lightning. However, the soldiers had already worn masks and avoided the vital parts, so they could easily defeat them by fighting them with swords and spears. Even at the feet of the junior sister, a colorful cat was pinning down an eagle and biting its throat tightly. Lin Jue began to feel fortunate that he had asked his fourth and seventh senior brothers to go to Jiguang County for help. If such a scene occurred in Jiguang County... Although the fire magic of the Seventh Senior Brother is average, in terms of magic attainments, he may be only about the same as the Third Senior Brother, and slightly better than the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Senior Brothers. However, he has made a lot of puppets here. He has the ability to control puppets with magic, and can even use puppet shows to make puppets spit fire. Plus, there is also a Mr. An who is good at fire magic on the side of the Southern Heavenly Master. I think he can stop those poisonous insects. Fourth Senior Brother’s method of gathering beasts and taming birds is even more profound than my own. I think he can also persuade these birds of prey to leave. But this is just an appetizer. It's just a waste of their mana and energy. The flock of birds had not yet died out, and there was still fighting on the city wall. A huge five-tailed white fox was jumping on the city wall, chasing the largest group of birds of prey, and a colorful cat was strangling the throat of the fourth falcon. However, in the distant fog that was like a sky wall, monsters were pouring out like a tide. Lin Jue saw soldiers wearing robes and even armor, who looked like humans, walking out of the fog. He also saw black bears two or three meters tall leaning over and running towards him, and giant snakes like dragons crawling on the ground. There are also giant tree demons with faces. There are giant rocks that are several meters tall. There was a huge tiger standing up, with ghosts floating behind it, followed by a wolf demon, and there were also bird-man soldiers with wings. There are even monsters riding on the backs of horses and cows! This time it's a real monster. Not only are these monsters more powerful than the fish and shrimp under the Alligator King and the monster soldiers and generals under the Leopard King, but they are also quite orderly. Some monsters are smaller in size, so they sit on other huge monsters, using magic to assist their power and cooperate with each other. Some monsters transform into human forms, with bodies similar to those of humans, and wear armor, or ride on the backs of cows and horses whose bodies are unknown whether they have become spirits, acting as cavalry. Some monsters have weaker combat power, so they follow the stone giants, giant bears and giant snakes. Even though the monsters have very different sizes, they can still be classified or walked together in groups, which really gives people a feeling of "soldiers and generals". Especially those monsters who have transformed into human forms and are wearing armor. Their armor is silver-white. At first glance, except for the lack of divine light, it is actually somewhat similar to the armor of the heavenly soldiers. They are probably the "heavenly soldiers and generals" used by the Queen Mother of the East to deceive believers and highlight her own divine majesty. "Rumble..." The fog was suppressed far away by the strong wind, but these monster soldiers were already rushing over, and the ground was rumbling with their footsteps. But the one who came the fastest was still the bird demon in the sky. Some changed into human form, holding bows and arrows, and some turned into their original forms, covering the sky and blocking out the sun. Looking at this formation, it was much larger than the soldiers and generals under the command of the Northwest Leopard King. Did all of Queen Mother of the East’s men come out in full force? The soldiers on the city wall were really scared this time. "Everyone, shoot arrows! “Shoot these harpies!

"Aim and shoot!" The third brother shouted. He first reached into his arms, took out a handful of beans, and scattered them into the sky. The beans swelled in the wind and turned into soldiers in heavy armor, who fell to the ground with various weapons in their hands. If you count them carefully, there are hundreds of them. Then he took out a small sword from his waist, which looked like an ornament. But as soon as the small sword came into his hand, it immediately turned into a big sword and swung it towards the distance: "laugh!" A bright sword light broke through the air. I don’t know how far the sword light flew, but I saw a huge falcon, flying the fastest in the distance, suddenly paused, as if it had been hit. A cloud of blood mist bloomed in the air, and then it fell down. The generals and captains on the city wall then shouted, "Archers are in command, halberd soldiers are in charge, draw your bows and release your arrows!" The walls were cluttered and filled with all kinds of noise. But the blood and energy on the battlefield also surged. Lin Jue also sprinkled a handful of beans with his left hand, which turned into soldiers. The previous forty, plus the seven new ones made in the past two months, a total of forty-seven, were like heavenly soldiers, crashing down on the city wall. This also gave the soldiers great confidence. Then Lin Jue still held a handful of beans in his right hand, staring at the ground below and the sky in front of him, and began to chant: "The sky is vast, the earth is boundless; the mountains are powerful, able to defeat dragons and tigers; the mysterious and yellow spirits are all out at this moment; turn into mountain gods, and help me!" As the spell was chanted, the remaining stones under the city wall began to tremble and roll, gradually accumulating upwards and forming two stone giants that were nearly three meters tall. Standing together with the previous four, there were six in total. "Prioritize getting rid of these giant monsters and don't let them damage the city walls!" "it is good!" The junior sister nodded heavily. As soon as he finished speaking, the six stone giants began to move. The ground was stepped on with rumbling sounds. Lin Jue was watching the distance to the flying bird demon, and when he felt it was right, he threw the beans in his right hand out. A clanging sound of sharp flying swords! "Get rid of the bird monster in the sky!" The flying swords automatically spun, adjusted their directions, found their targets, and shot away into the air. (End of this chapter)
