Chapter 259 Battle in Devil's Valley (Part 3)
In the current situation, it is difficult to guess from which direction the opponent will attack. Although from the simple map given by Demon Mansion, the three of them roughly knew that Bai Peng's camp should be in the due north, the two camps were not built on the edge of Devil's Valley, but relatively close to the middle. Zone, therefore, if the opponent makes a sneak attack, it may appear from any direction.
Hu Ruyan used a claw-shaped magic weapon to draw a simple sketch on the ground. Wu Yan and Zhu Junhao could recognize at a glance that there were two square camps on the north and south sides of the sketch. The circle in the middle represented the remnants of Mount King Kong. Mountain. From both sides of Can Mountain, Hu Ruyan drew two thin lines, connecting the two camps.
Then, she drew two lines from the circular remnant mountain, which also connected the two camps. She pointed at the two lines at the back with her claw-shaped magic weapon and said: "These two lines At the foot of Can Mountain, which is connected by a line, is Longxi, the only water source in Devil's Valley. The little girl thought that the old thief would definitely send Venerable Poison to poison Longxi, so Brother Wu still needed to take action in this matter. Solution, I wonder if Brother Wu has a good plan to deal with it? "
Wu Yan saw Hu Ruyan and Zhu Junhao both looking at him, so he patted his storage bag, took out three jade bottles, handed them to Zhu Junhao and said: "Master Zhu, this pill is the Moon Dew Pill refined by me. ', it has the effect of restraining most types of poison. Each of these three bottles contains 100 pills, which are enough for the other three combat masters and Mr. Zhu."
Zhu Junhao did not expect that Wu Yan had refined so many antidote elixirs in advance. When he saw him taking them out, he immediately looked overjoyed and reached out to take three bottles of "Moon Dew Pills" and four other "Moon Dew Pills" that he took out separately. " Then he laughed loudly and said: "Haha, Brother Wu is really a trustworthy person! At first, Zhu just mentioned this matter to Brother Wu, but he didn't expect that Brother Wu was so well prepared for this. Good reward again!”
"Young Master Zhu is serious. This matter is a matter within my department. By the way, after everyone has discussed the countermeasures, I will rush to Longxi to see if I can block the Venerable Poison. If I can get along with him easily, He will probably be able to solve some troubles after a bit of competition." Wu Yan smiled calmly.
"That's very good. With Brother Wu here, the water source must be safe. As long as the water source is not cut off, even if we cannot defeat them in a short time and end the duel, we can still spend three months with them. As long as we buy more time, we have a chance of winning." Hu Ruyan smiled and said to the two people, then pointed to the other two lines and said to them: "If the Shadow Demon attacks, it must take these two paths. But the problem now is that it is difficult for us to determine which way they will go, and setting up an ambush is difficult. If we set up an ambush on both roads, the camp will be empty, and it is not appropriate to make a decision. Mr. Zhu has made up his mind. However, the young lady’s suggestion is to set up an ambush on the road on the Longxi side. The young lady thinks that the two groups of soldiers who are poisoning and attacking are bound to go out together. "
Wu Yan nodded secretly, and Zhu Junhao also secretly praised Hu Ruyan's analysis. He was about to make a decision when he suddenly heard several voices coming from outside the fine iron gate wall a hundred feet away. There were roars and screams, followed by the sound of banging spiritual arrows. Originally it was only coming from one direction, but then similar sounds came from the other three sides.
For a moment, there was chaos outside the camp. The demon soldiers with spears who were cleaning up the camp all stopped what they were doing at this time, formed a guard formation one after another, and looked out with confusion and panic on their faces.
At this moment, there was a loud buzzing sound outside the camp, as if some kind of extremely powerful insect beast appeared outside the camp.
Zhu Junhao, Wu Yan, and Hu Ruyan stood up at the same time with greatly changed expressions, and rushed towards the northern camp gate. Before the three of them could rush to the door, Zhu Jiufu ran over anxiously. When he saw Zhu Junhao, Zhu Jiufu immediately exclaimed: "Sir, our crossbow team patrolling outside the formation has been attacked!"
"How is that possible? Less than an hour after we were sent in at the same time, we were attacked! What happened?" Zhu Junhao said angrily.
"Devil insect? Could it be that the insect demon released the demon insect!?" Hu Ruyan's face suddenly turned ugly and she lost her voice.
"Fairy Fox guessed right. It is indeed a group of black bugs that are causing trouble! Those bugs don't seem to be afraid of the devilish energy and ghost mist in the valley, and they seem to be able to absorb the devilish energy here. Their flight speed is as fast as lightning, and they can't escape at all. Unable to withstand the defense!" Zhu Jiufu continued with an embarrassed expression. After everyone entered the valley, in order to prevent fraud, they took off the masks and masks on everyone's faces. At this time, Zhu Jiufu's face was full of shock.
Based on his many years of fighting experience with Marshal Zhu of the Demon Mansion, he was surprised by the demonic insect that attacked the camp. From this, we can imagine how powerful the insect must be.
There were more and more screams, but the number of spiritual arrows seemed to be getting less and less. It seemed that the demonic crossbow soldiers on the periphery could not resist this insect at all. If this continues, it won't be long before a hundred-man team of demon crossbow soldiers will be reimbursed.
One-third of the troops have to be lost before the battle has officially begun. This is not only a huge blow to the strength, but also a huge blow to the morale of the soldiers. If all the demon soldiers lost the courage to fight, there would be no need to fight this battle.
Zhu Junhao made a prompt decision and ordered with an ugly face: "Order all the demon soldiers to return to the camp and form a circular defensive formation. These demon insects will be dealt with by the experts in the field of combat! Brother Wu, Ruyan, and Uncle Fu, this battle depends on us. ”
Zhu Jiufu nodded heavily immediately, and with a solemn look, he quickly conveyed Zhu Junhao's military order to all directions. Wu Yan looked at the black demon insects in the air outside that were gradually gathering towards this side, and touched his chin with a strange expression.
After a while, all the people who were not injured or were slightly injured in the periphery withdrew to the center of the camp. Because the military order was issued in time, when all the demon soldiers returned and counted the number of people, the number of casualties had reached more than 30 people. Fortunately, no demon soldiers died.
All the demon soldiers followed the unified command and formed a round shield-like protective formation, with archers inside, spearmen offering shields outside, flag formation soldiers behind the archers, and five Jindan-stage masters who had already offered their own magic weapons in the center.
Everyone gathered together to guard, and just as they formed a protective formation, they saw the black demon insects covering the sky and the sun, which had already surged over.
Those demon insects were only the size of a thumb, and their bodies were shining with black iron light. They flew close to the dark demonic mist more than ten feet high, as if they had melted into the demonic mist, making it difficult to distinguish their number and reality.
In all directions of the protective array, there were such demon insects, of which there were more than a dozen species, some shaped like beetles, some shaped like centipedes, and some shaped like giant flying ants, all of which were the size of a thumb. If these demon insects were placed outside, their flying speed would not be considered very fast, but in this Devil Valley, with the help of the demon clouds above and the magnetic force below, their flying speed reached a terrifying level.
Seeing the large group of demon insects, at least nearly ten thousand of them, gathering around, everyone felt their scalps exploded, and they didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Yuan Honglie seemed to have dealt with this group of demon insects just now. He used his magic weapon to attack the demon insects that kept flying down to attack the demon soldiers in the formation, and said to Zhu Junhao anxiously: "Young Master, these demon insects are extremely strange. They are not afraid of the power of magic weapons, the burning of true fire, or the freezing of ice and frost. They are very difficult to deal with!"
The faces of everyone changed again at the same time, because at the moment when Yuan Honglie was speaking, a group of more than a thousand black flying ants swooped down, knocked Yuan Honglie's magic weapon away, and fell straight into a group of demon soldiers in the formation. With the buzzing sound, the group of demon soldiers rushed into the formation, and they didn't even have time to scream. In the blink of an eye, they were swallowed into a pile of dry bones.
Everyone was horrified and crowded towards the center, and the formation became scattered.
Zhu Junhao roared loudly, ordering the demon soldiers who were in disarray to quickly return to the defensive formation, but at this moment in this chaotic battlefield, who could hear it?
Suddenly, everyone felt that the core of the formation suddenly emanated a terrible demonic aura, and then, a more thrilling buzzing sound rang out in the center of the protective formation.
Everyone was shocked, thinking that another demon insect had descended, and they looked towards the center involuntarily, but saw that a young monk with ordinary appearance had a small spiritual insect bag floating above his head. At this moment, fist-sized golden shell monster insects with a half-foot long black mouthparts were excitedly rushing out of the spiritual insect bag.
As soon as those golden shell monster insects rushed out of the spiritual insect bag, the young monk raised his hand and pointed, making a strange buzzing sound, and seemed to rush towards the large number of demon insects in the air with extreme excitement.
Everyone was speechless at this amazing scene, staring blankly at the sky. The strange situation happened when the strange golden shell monster insect that suddenly rushed out pounced on the overwhelming demon insects.
However, the half-foot-long black mouthparts of the golden shell monster insects were all split open at this time, as if they were fist-sized beetles, but with half-foot-long big strange mouthparts. The situation was indescribably funny and weird. What was even more weird was that this group of golden shell monster insects that suddenly rushed out actually unceremoniously swallowed up all kinds of magic insects in the air with their wide-open strange mouthparts.
Under the crazy swallowing of these monster insects, those magic insects had no strength to fight back, and even had no chance to escape, and were swallowed up in large numbers.
Even later, the more than 100 golden shell monster insects that had just rushed out actually sprayed out black strange lights that were several feet wide and several feet long from their black mouthparts. All the magic insects covered by the light were drawn into the mouthparts of the golden shell monster insects. As the golden shell monster insects chewed and swallowed, most of the magic insects in the air were almost eliminated in a moment.
Everyone stared in amazement, feeling that this scene was too bizarre and horrifying. It was hard to imagine that a golden shell beetle, the size of a fist, devoured so many demon insects, and its body did not grow at all.
Most of the demon insects were lost in this moment, and the man who controlled the insects seemed to be shocked and hurriedly summoned the insects to flee back.
The young monk who released the golden shell monster insects sneered, pointed his finger, and more than a hundred golden shell monster insects chased after them with a roar. In a few breaths, they caught up with the fleeing demon insects and devoured them crazily again.
