Chapter 386: Hundred Days of Darkness, the Rat King Reappears! (Two in one)
This Niujiao City is naturally one of the twenty-eight cities on Cuibai Road.
In fact, Niujiao City is not the first big city to fall in the past three months!
Before this, two large cities had also fallen, and they have not been recovered even now. This shows how tense the situation of the Cuibai Dao human race is!
"Did another big demon appear?" Song Changming frowned upon hearing this.
The main reason why the first two big cities were captured by the monster clan was that the big monster suddenly appeared and forcibly destroyed the city with its supreme monster power.
As for the powerful masters in the main city of Cuibai, they have long been busy these days.
Those big demons are not vegetarians. During this period, there were also strong masters from aristocratic families who suffered defeats and were injured by the big demons and fled back to the main city to retreat for healing.
"No, this time it was captured by a group of monsters." Yang Zhen shook his head.
"." Song Changming was speechless for a moment.
Without the big demon taking action, the city would have been lost, and the army stationed in Niujiao City could only bear the full responsibility for this.
"Which army is so useless?"
"Twenty-ninth Army." Yang Zhen, however, was not in the mood to be sarcastic and accusatory, and continued: "The commander-in-chief of his army died in battle, and not even a single one of his soldiers remained."
This statement As soon as it came out, even Xing Tiexin changed his expression and fell silent.
Even the generals died in the battle, and the soldiers were almost dead. Under this situation, it was almost certain that this army had done their best, but the battle situation was really hopeless.
In this way, the Twenty-Nine Army has almost ceased to exist in name only.
“If I remember correctly, this should be the first one.” Song Changming suddenly asked.
Yang Zhen nodded, "Well, the first commander of the Cui Banner Army to die in battle!"
From the fall of the first city to the death of the first commander, these news The blow to their human camp was like a heavy hammer. It was frightening and desolate at the same time. It was a serious blow to morale.
A person as powerful as the Marshal will fall in this war with the demon clan, which shows how tragic the war is.
Even though their 41st Army has not yet lost a large city, the casualties of its soldiers are already a serious problem.
Now, the reserve army has been fully replenished, but it is still difficult to reach full strength.
Although the twelve generals have not been damaged, more than one general at the level of deputy general has been killed.
Loss of troops and generals occurs in almost every army!
“I don’t know when this vicious phenomenon will end.” Song Changming glanced at the lingering black light above his head and sighed softly.
Although he was able to obtain a large amount of demon blood essence on the battlefield, he also hoped that the invaded war could end as soon as possible.
He hopes to fight to his heart's content in the demon clan's territory, instead of tearing the human race's land apart like this and making the people miserable.
Song Changming knows that the key to the problem lies in this round of black light. As soon as the fierce phenomenon of the evil god swallowing the sun ends and the black light dissipates, the demon clan will naturally retreat like a tide.
"It's been a hundred days" Yang Zhen also sighed.
This sigh is for the human race and for myself.
Now even the commander-in-chief of the army has lost his life. God knows whether the army generals like him will survive to the end on the battlefield.
At the same time, outside Lei City.
There are many mountains and rocks. There are many mineral veins here, and jade can also be mined.
The spiritual crystal veins that Song Changming and his party were guarding back then were located here.
It seems that the first windfall of his fortune was also obtained during a mission here.
A team of human scouts landed on a bare mountain, their senses reached out, and they looked around.
"There seems to be some evil spirit left?"
After the scout looked around, his brows suddenly furrowed.
“The situation here is not right!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the mountains shook, and a group of ground rats rushed out.
With the thunder and light, the group of human scouts were swamped in just one encounter, leaving no chance for the scouts to escape.
"Delicious human warrior blood!" A golden rat demon sniffed the smell of human blood with an intoxicated look on his face.
"Idiot, this is for the king to recover from his injuries!" said the other golden rat demon.
"I know it, I just heard it. Why are you so anxious?" The golden rat demon muttered impatiently.
“This is just the blood of an innate warrior, but it is already so sweet when you smell it. The legendary blood of the grandmaster that can transform demons, I really want to taste it, even if it’s just a drop.”
"Hey, you really dare to think that every drop of the Grandmaster's blood contains great power. How can we covet it? Even if it is the king of our family, forget it and give this person's blood as soon as possible. Go over there."
A group of rat demons said, swept away the corpses of the human scouts, burrowed into the ground again and disappeared into the mountains.
The rat demons burrowed all the way down. The black spines on their heads emitted buzzing electromagnetic waves, which could easily shatter the tight rock and soil beneath the ground, making it seem as if there was no obstacle for them to burrow into the ground.
In a blink of an eye, we were deep underground.
There, there are more burrowing rats entrenched, unknowingly hollowing out the ground in this area, like an underground kingdom.
"Your Majesty, we have brought the blood of the innate warriors." Several golden rat demons presented the corpses of the human scouts as if they were offering treasures.
In front of them, on a tall jade platform, the huge body of the Golden Rat King was lying on it.
The spikes on his back were standing straight against the top of the rock. His pupils opened a slight slit and glanced away.
Then he weakly stretched out his long tongue and put the corpses of the human scouts into his mouth and swallowed them directly.
"More, I want more human blood and spiritual mines!" King Kangjin shouted.
"Yes, yes, your king!"
A group of rat demons knelt down and trembled in response, and hurriedly ran outside to find supplies for their king.
The Kangjin Rat King was breathing heavily, and his huge body was still scarred and stained with blood.
Even its breath was very weak, and it looked weak, obviously it was seriously injured.
“You bastard, if you don’t let me go back, staying here will definitely lead to death!”
The Kangjin Rat King closed his eyes again, but his heart was not peaceful, full of anger and hatred.
It not only hated the human master who injured it repeatedly, but also hated the powerful monster existence that forced it to stay in Cuibai Road.
It knows very well that it is being used repeatedly by the other party, which is constantly squeezing its remaining value.
The other party doesn't care about the life or death of such a little mouse.
"Damn it! Damn it!" It was furious, getting angrier as it thought about it.
But it felt deeply powerless and could only lie under the ground, unable to do anything.
The opponent's power goes deep into the demon's heart. If it disobeys the opponent's orders, it will only die.
But now, it is obedient and stirring up the wind and rain on the cypress road. As long as it runs fast enough, there is still hope that it can survive.
But if you want to survive, you must recover from your injuries as soon as possible. If you continue to be so weak, you can't even protect yourself.
A pair of rat eyes were filled with uncertainty, and he suddenly made up his mind. A wave of demonic aura swept around his body, pulling several rat demons to him.
"Let me ask you, which is the nearest big human city?"
"Back to your Majesty, yes, it is Lei City, not far away, just two hundred miles to the west." The rat demon quickly replied.
“How many people are there in the city, and are there any human race masters sitting in charge?” The Rat King then asked.
"There should still be several million people. According to the investigation, there is currently no grandmaster guarding this city, and there are only a few human troops stationed." The rat demon was well informed and replied one by one.
As soon as he heard that there was no grandmaster around, the Rat King’s tiny pupils suddenly burst out with a bit of ferocity. "Notify the young ones that today we will destroy the city and eat human flesh!"
As soon as these words came out, the rat demon was shocked, and said hesitantly: "Yes, but isn't the king recuperating?"
It knew that the king was seriously injured now, Nowadays, it is somewhat unreasonable to attack a large human city.
Although there is no grandmaster guarding Leicheng, this does not mean that the human grandmaster will not rush over to support after receiving the news.
Once hit by the human grandmaster, the rat king, who is currently seriously injured, will definitely be invincible.
"Hmph, it takes a lot of human flesh and blood to recuperate the body. How can this little human blood you secretly get be enough for me? I won't be well if I only rely on this little supply!" the Rat King said coldly.
It wants to attack the city just to have the opportunity to devour a large amount of human flesh and blood in the city so that it can recover from its injuries as quickly as possible.
It has had enough of hiding in hiding while dragging its seriously injured body.
Even if this move may lead to another crusade from the human race master, he can't care so much anymore.
The worst case scenario is that if the city defense formation is broken, grab a few big bites and run away.
As long as it is not greedy, it can always catch the autumn wind and escape smoothly.
"Hurry up and go!"
"Yes, yes."
The rat demon hurriedly prepared, not daring to anger the rat king again.
In the evening, Leicheng camp.
Large pots were set up, bonfires were raised, broth was stewed, and the soldiers gathered in a circle to eat the meat.
For a martial artist, big meat is indispensable every time.
The more you consume, the more you need to eat highly nutritious food.
Of course, these are not the meat of monster beasts, but the flesh and blood of ordinary livestock or wild beasts.
Except for Song Changming and a few warriors with strong resistance, the evil spirit remaining in the flesh and blood of monster beasts is a great danger to most warriors, and swallowing it is harmful but useless.
"After eating, go to hand over the shift. Keep an eye on the brothers at night. Although there are fewer raids by the demon tribe at night, it is not impossible."
A general walked through the camp and reminded loudly. .
“Yes!” The soldiers responded one by one.
After eating and drinking, as night fell, everyone went to the top of the city to take turns and watch.
Later late at night, suddenly a signal flare flew into the sky in the distance and exploded in the night sky.
Even if there are clouds and haze, it can't stop the fire from shining in the sky.
"There's something going on!" The soldiers on guard at the top of the city suddenly looked shocked.
"Get ready to sound the alarm, I'll go take a look!" Several generals immediately flew away to find out the situation.
From a distance, they soon discovered that several outposts set up outside the city had been destroyed.
There has been no news from the troops patrolling outside the city. All signs indicate that something went wrong tonight!
"There is a demonic aura!" A general suddenly noticed a hint of demonic aura coming from him, and his alarm bell rang loudly.
The next moment, many large holes were suddenly opened in the calm earth below, and countless figures rushed toward them in the air.
"Suffer death!" The rat demon's voice was sharp, and he laughed arrogantly. The sharp claws in his hands burst out with sizzling lightning, and he jumped very fast.
“No!” Several centurions were shocked, but they only felt familiar.
“It’s a rat demon!”
"Go back and inform the commander!"
Buzz!
In Lei City, which is surrounded by mountains and rocks, the city defense formation was activated immediately.
A light curtain covers the entire city, isolating the inside and outside, and the evil spirit cannot enter at all.
"Yes!" In the city, Song Changming stopped his Qi refining practice and took back an unused high-grade spiritual crystal in front of him.
"What happened?" Song Changming asked.
Outside the door, Rong Jiang's voice floated in.
"It's the city defense formation that has been opened. General, I'll go check it out."
"Yes."
Soon, Rong Jiang flew back and Brought back news.
Rong Jiang's voice was a little urgent, and he reported: "General, the situation is not good, there are monsters outside the city attacking in large numbers!"
Hearing this, Song Changming looked stern, and immediately stood up and strode outside. go.
There is no black light at night, and most monsters are only active during the day, but it does not rule out that the other party is cunning and does the opposite.
Song Changming also encountered this kind of thing once in the past.
If you are not prepared for war in time, it is indeed easy to suffer losses.
On the high wall in the distance, there was only a bang, and an electric shock cut through the sky, hitting the light curtain above the big city, making a sizzling sound.
Song Changming raised his eyes, widened his vision, and instantly locked onto the figure.
The familiar aura of the demon clan made him think for a moment.
"Kang Jin Mouse Demon?"
The distance was too far, Song Changming was still a little unsure, but Xing Tiexin on the other side had already stabbed out, and the gun air instantly hit the demon clan.
If the demon clan is hit hard, it transforms back into a demon body, which is the golden rat demon covered with spikes.
This rat demon is considered an old acquaintance to Song Changming.
The rat tide retreated in Xiguang City last time, and now we encounter it again.
Song Changming is not worried about the ordinary high-gold rat demon. What he is really concerned about is whether the rat king has also arrived!
On the city wall, Marshal Wang Tianshuang obviously also had this concern, staring at the mountains and rivers outside the city with a serious face.
Usually the King of Golden Rats appears by breaking out of the ground and hiding underground.
And this time, it is no exception!
A huge figure emerged from the ground, it was the big demonic Golden Rat King!
Old friends, we meet again
"Commander, we have contacted the main city and the generalissimo!" Wang Shifu completed the task as soon as the golden rat king appeared. contact.
All we have to do next is wait for the supporting masters to arrive on the battlefield!
"Transport all the spiritual crystals in stock to fully support the operation of the city defense array!" Wang Tianshuang ordered.
“Yes, yes!”
The city lord not far away wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, responded repeatedly, looked at the big monster in the distance, and left in a hurry.
"Commander." Song Changming fell to Wang Tianshuang's side.
"This rat king was seriously injured, and his breath is far worse than before. You and I can deal with it." Wang Tianshuang said.
Song Changming nodded.
He and Wang Tianshuang are the only ones in the army who are qualified to fight against the big demon, even the seriously injured big demon.
Without the cultivation strength of the Innate Perfection Realm, one cannot even get close to the big demon.
