Chapter 72 Under the Mist Beast
"Is this?!" Lu Zheng seemed to realize the origin of this big dog, and his face that had always been calm suddenly changed color.
"Mist beast!"
"Fog beast?" Lu Zheng blurted out, but this was the first time Song Changming heard it.
What is a fog beast?
The surrounding patrols had already fired their arrows, targeting the ferocious big dog that suddenly appeared.
However, this big dog's body, flesh and even the hair on its body are extremely tough, and ordinary crossbows and arrows cannot break its defense!
It's no wonder that Lu Zheng's patrol masters all gave in.
This doesn't look like a flesh and blood body at all, it's simply a monster made of steel.
The big dog became more and more furious and wanted to pounce on the patrols who were shooting arrows at it.
But at this time, subtle footsteps came from the alley again, causing the big dog to retreat and protect the person walking out of the alley.
Wearing the same hat and raincoat, this man also held several normal vicious dogs in his right hand.
The left hand was covered with bright red blood, and the palm seemed to be holding an object. It was also soaked in blood, and it was difficult to see what it was.
"Kill my gang, you all deserve to die!"
The man murmured, and the object on his left hand suddenly lit up, and a piece of red and yellow smoke floated out from it, like a jumping flame burning dimly in it.
The smoke drifted and turned into wisps of smoke and arrows, sinking into the body of another vicious dog.
The next moment, large amounts of blood-red smoke erupted from the vicious dog's body, and its body underwent a rapid change as it twitched.
The hair on the body surface became thicker and longer, and the body became stronger several times. A pair of fangs were exposed, four sharp claws pierced out, and his eyes were gray.
Although this newly mutated vicious dog is much smaller than the big dog that first appeared, it still looks intrusive and difficult to deal with.
"Is this the fog beast?" After Song Changming saw the monster created by the other party, he couldn't help but become more curious about what the thing in that person's hand was, and it was so evil.
After that, the dogs held by the man turned into the fog beasts Lu Zheng said.
Five in total!
"Go, kill them all!" The man gave the order, and the five fog beasts instantly went crazy and rushed in all directions, as if they wanted to tear apart all the living people in sight.
"Group of five, advance and retreat together!" Lu Zheng shouted, instantly calming the panic of his men.
Song Changming asked Liang Zhaolong to lead all the patrols to retreat further, and a group of ten people resisted these evil beasts.
These were all actual combat formations that he had practiced at the headquarters before, and now it was time to put them to use.
Song Changming chose to act alone, focusing on the fog beasts that he had never heard of in the past.
There is always someone who needs to attack the enemy and deal with the toughest enemies!
Lu Zheng on the side had already set off, and he alone attracted the largest and most ferocious fog beast.
Perhaps he was the only one in the audience who had the strength to fight against this fog beast. Anyone else would probably be in trouble.
Song Changming suddenly looked at the man standing at the entrance of the alley, silently controlling the five-headed fog beast.
No longer thinking about it, he directly used the light body skill, like a flying swallow flying close to the ground, to reach that person.
However, as he was approaching, one of the fog beasts stopped in front of him, opening its mouth and biting as if it was crazy.
Song Changming stopped, raised his knife and swung his arm, his strength exploded, and the silver light flashed!
The Dragon Pattern Knife accurately struck the head of the fog beast.
Just hearing a click, he could clearly see that on the fog beast's head, the skin and flesh were torn open, and there seemed to be a sound of a skull breaking.
With the help of the rebounding blade, Song Changming grasped the long handle with both arms, stepped forward with one step, shouted loudly, unleashed all his brute force, and slashed out again!
The dark wind followed the long knife, as if it wanted to break open this space!
A shocking knife!
This time, Song Changming's dragon-patterned knife sank straight into the gaping hole in the fog beast's original skin, bringing with it a large amount of minced meat, broken bones, and the dog's head flying out.
Song Changming's forceful killing of a fog beast also made the originally calm beast summoner take a few steps back in shock.
He didn't expect that the Mist Beast would be killed so quickly and deftly with its iron bones.
He only felt that he had somewhat underestimated the combat strength of this group of patrols coming from the General Director.
In fact, this group of mist beasts with strange origins is indeed difficult to deal with. If the dragon-patterned knife in his hand was not strong enough and sharp with an ordinary blade, it would be difficult for Song Changming to deal with the mist even if he had no brute force and sword skills. The beast breaks through the defense.
This is the advantage of this high-quality sword. It is not incomprehensible for swordsmen to pursue famous swords with enthusiasm.
Sometimes, a good knife can significantly improve one's combat power.
Song Changming did not stop and continued to kill the man who summoned the beast.
As long as this guy is captured, these fog beasts that obey orders will probably no longer be a threat.
"Eat him for me!"
The man hid his body in the alley again and gave instructions to the other fog beasts.
So, except for the largest fog beast controlled by Lu Zheng, the remaining three pounced on Song Changming, trying to tear him to pieces on the spot.
Song Changming felt chills all over his body. The feeling of fighting with animals was completely different from that of fighting with humans. Especially these crazy beasts, Song Changming had no doubt that if he was knocked down on the spot, there would be little chance of him breaking free.
Immediately, he used his light body skills to the extreme and jumped up to avoid the attack of the nearest fog beast.
The long knife was pointed out in the air again, using the flying swallow style. The blade was as sharp as a flying swallow, and it accurately pecked an eye socket of the second mist beast close to it, blinding it.
At the same time, he used his strength to stay in the air and narrowly avoided the third fog beast. He turned over and landed on the ground, and once again rushed into the alley to pursue the person who summoned the beast.
The three mist beasts roared, trying to squeeze into the alley, and then bit Song Changming.
Lu Zheng suddenly arrived at this time. With a tall figure of two meters and a long knife in his hand, Lu Zheng directly blocked the entrance of the small alley to prevent these fog beasts from chasing Song Changming.
Although it was the first time for the two to collaborate and they didn't say a few words to each other, their division of labor and cooperation were quite good.
Song Changming was responsible for pursuing them, while Lu Zheng and his men were responsible for fending off the remaining fog beasts.
Bang!
The largest fog beast directly hit one side of the alley wall, and forced the thick alley wall to collapse.
"I still want to go there!"
Lu Zheng stared. The ferocious aura around him was no weaker than that of these fog beasts. His two-meter height made him look like an upright humanoid beast!
With a sweep of the long knife, the long and generous blade swept out all the fog beasts that were trying to squeeze into the alley.
In fact, among these fog beasts, the one that really troubled him was the one that looked like a lion.
If the strongest fog beast hadn't been entangled, this battle wouldn't have been so difficult.
"How many people were killed and how much blood essence was used to create such a fog beast!" Thinking of this, Lu Zheng only felt more and more irritable in his heart.
At this moment, the roaring fog beasts suddenly calmed down and were no longer so crazy. They looked towards the alley with their gray eyes, spinning around in circles.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Lu Zheng looked back.
It was Song Changming who had chased him back.
I saw him dragging the beast summoner who was unconscious and covered in blood, and there was a severed arm hanging on the knife on the other side.
The palm of this arm is facing up, and the five fingers are bent. The miraculous thing that has been displayed before is still held in the palm of this severed arm.
Song Changming didn't know what it was, and out of caution, he didn't touch it.
Seeing that the person who gave the orders was gone, the fog beasts immediately settled down. There is no doubt that this wave of people who captured the beasts first was correct.
This person's strength is similar to that of the core members of the incense-burning gang just now, and he is not Song Changming's opponent at full strength.
"The person is not dead yet." Song Changming said, throwing the beast summoner in his hand out of the alley.
"Well done." Lu Zheng nodded, approving of Song Changming's calm response just now.
Song Changming then raised the knife in his hand and asked, "What is this?"
He was naturally referring to the strange object used just now in the hands of the person who summoned the beast.
Think about what Lu Zheng, a veteran in the general department, knows.
"This is matte gold." Lu Zheng's face turned cold, and he slowly picked up the object that was completely covered in blood and said.
It is a thin piece, irregular in shape, extremely hard in texture, and difficult to melt in the fire.
"Once the mist gold is activated, it will emit a phenomenon called burning mist. If ordinary beasts absorb the burning mist in this mist gold, they will become mist beasts like what you just saw.
The only way to control these fog beasts is to hold this type of fog gold. "
Lu Zheng said, spreading the fog gold on his palms flatly and facing the fog beasts.
"Listen to my order and lie down."
As soon as he finished speaking, the remaining four fog beasts obeyed Lu Zheng obediently and lay on the ground, not even daring to raise their tails.
They seem to be very afraid of this so-called fog gold, even though the fog gold itself is not aggressive.
"There are such weird things in this world." When Song Changming saw it for the first time, he felt that the mist gold might be more mysterious than imagined.
What kind of energy is the burning mist released that can have such miraculous effects?
He keenly observed that after these ordinary dogs became fog beasts, they not only had rough skin, thick flesh and lots of hair, but also seemed to have been enlightened and became much smarter, possessing some complex emotions and thoughts. No longer simply acting on instinct like an animal.
"Boss, this person is also one of the core members of the Incense Sect." A patrolman verified the identity of the person who summoned the beast and confirmed.
"Why does he have foggy gold?" Lu Zheng asked with a frown.
"Um, I don't know," the patrol shook his head. There were no relevant clues recorded in their previous investigation of the Incense Cult.
"Lock up all these mist beasts." Lu Zheng held the mist gold, walked up to several mist beasts, and ordered the other patrols to take them back first.
The emergence of fog gold makes this mission more complicated.
Due to the special nature of the mist gold, it will definitely attract more attention from the superiors, and there is a high probability that it will even alarm the county governor's office and even the county governor himself.
For no other reason, just because this mist gold has caused bloody storms in the Great Han Dynasty several times. Whether it is ordinary people or powerful warriors, batches of people have died because of this mist gold.
There’s no reason why they don’t pay attention!
