Chapter 120 Bone Demon Army
After the discussion, the people who had been trekking for a long time took a good rest according to the skeleton barracks and followed the rules of the skeletons. After their energy was restored, they prepared and set off again.
So far, this team has conducted several practical battles and has accumulated experience in dealing with these monsters. Now they have to have more confidence and can maintain a complete formation without having to arrange them specifically. Through rest and treatment, those who were seriously injured can now join the battle.
Sure enough, according to the established plan, when encountering a whole team of spearmen and swords, the divine beasts forcibly disrupt the enemy's formation, and then the large army pressed over. The chaotic enemy rarely poses any threat.
As long as you keep your vigilance against archers who are still everywhere and lurking everywhere, Ye Zilan will give them enough lighting to prevent being attacked. When encountering them, the monsters will soon lose the threat.
The team's combat has been much easier and its speed has been greatly improved. According to Ye Zilan's calculations, they have eliminated nearly half of the skeleton monsters, and the Soul-loving Staff has become more vigorous and brighter.
But that powerful bone devil will never appear again, which will make them feel uneasy in their hearts and keep their actions very cautious. This idea is like a stone pressing on their hearts and cannot be removed. Fortunately, as they advance along the way, they are getting closer and closer to the finish line.
Just after He Ming quickly killed a skeleton archer who was falling behind and running away like a wind, he suddenly realized that the situation in front of him had changed again:
A bone devil with a more weird body shape and appearance will stand at the core. In addition to its red and white bones, it also has pointed long horns on its forehead, and its eyes also emit a stronger red light than the previous one.
Hundreds of skeleton skeletons were arranged in a row in front of it, forming a very stable square formation, and dozens of skeleton skeletons were each next to it, protecting the flanks of these skeletons and ghost generals.
What's even more terrifying is that they are standing behind them, at least more than a hundred skeleton archers scattered. Even Taoist priests with a short range cast spells and attack spearmen and swords, they will enter the range of these archers!
This is a large and orderly unit. The solemn atmosphere and the eye sockets flashing with skeletons made the courageous He Ming feel involuntarily creepy and gestured to his own people. He tried to attract the attention of these monsters to see if they could disrupt their formation.
However, when he quickly stepped forward, the spearmen and swordsmen did not move at all. The bone devil waved the hammer and a rain of arrows flew towards him! This time it was not the simple aiming at him and shooting, but a screen of arrows was laid at his place!
A strong sense of crisis came to his face. For a moment, He Ming burst out his entire speed to the limit, avoided the side, and knocked off a few arrows that were about to hit him. Finally, he escaped from the range of the barrage, but found that although he was not injured, he still left two arrows on his armor.
He quickly turned back and came to Ye Zilan, concisely giving them the enemy information there, and at the same time took off the arrow branches on his body. He found that these arrow branches were not just simple bone arrows, but also had complex barbs on the arrows. Once they were hit, a large piece of flesh and blood must be cut to remove them!
After hearing this, Ye Zilan, Qingshui and Ruyueying were immediately silent. They were thinking about countermeasures and worried about the existence of such an enemy.
Hundreds of skeleton elite soldiers who have already formed a formation and are difficult to deal with, and a ghost general who doesn’t know how to kill them, but it’s already so difficult here, let alone the mastermind behind the deepest?
But no matter how much I think about it, the skeletons didn't give them time to think so easily. As He Ming had already attracted their attention, the war hammer in the hands of the ghost generals danced, and the entire group of skeletons and hundreds of monsters remained unchanged. With it as the core, they moved steadily towards this side.
The entire cave is surprisingly spacious. They can keep the queue no matter how they walk. The current mood is facing the front and even the skeleton spearmen can't rush. The long-range casting spells must enter the archer's range before they can take action. It's a desperate situation!
The skeletons were as fast as the steps of hundreds of people, and the bone claws stepped on the ground and made a chirping sound, which made the people present creepy in the distance.
As the entire skeleton team approached step by step, they could no longer continue to procrastinate. Ye Zilan shouted, and everyone could only retreat step by step with the approaching rhythm of the skeletons.
Moreover, they did not clear out all the wandering skeleton monsters along the way. If there was any accident in the direction of retreat, they would definitely be attacked from both sides and be in danger.
Ye Zilan ordered everyone to speed up the retreat. After setting a certain distance, he released two firewall techniques on the road, which would somewhat interfere with the skeleton actions.
But even her firewall could not block the road in such a spacious cave. The Bone Devil swung the warhammer, and the skeletons easily bypassed the firewall and immediately re-arranged the queue. Although there were temporary formation changes, in the case of a commander, this subtle formation change did not affect their combat at all.
The problem is serious, especially as the soldiers retreat slightly accelerated, the pace of the skeletons also increased, and they can also ensure an extremely neat and unconfused formation!
The more you drag it down, the more trouble it is! Qingshui wants to break this situation, commanding the divine beasts to try to rush directly to the archer's position, attracting the attention of the skeletons to break the deadlock.
But when the divine beast had just walked over and wanted to pass through the melee troops of the skeletons to rush towards the archers' team, countless bone arrows hit it without any mistakes. In an instant, it turned into a ball that had been leaking and turned into a red mist.
After Qingshui summoned the divine beast again, his face became much ugly.
He Ming was very unwilling to give up. Could this expedition end here? He followed the trained large army for the first time but encountered such a desperate situation. How could he be content with him?
Just when he was angry and unwilling to accept it, he was wondering what method to use to find an opportunity to break the situation with his own strength, he suddenly heard Ru Yueying ask:
"Ye Zilan, you released all the energy of the Soul-Love Staff. How many gathered skeletons can you solve?"
Ye Zilan replied to her: "You can't say that ghost general is also very strange and I can't figure it out. Besides, I will be killed by the archer before I go up and finish the magic."
Ru Yueying said: "We have not cleaned up all the enemies on the road. If we retreat like this, we will be done when we encounter the enemy Bao Cao! The magical beast, I, He Mingding, go up the shield, attract the attention of the archer as much as possible, and buy you the time to cast spells, but how long does it take?"
Ye Zilan said: "I can activate all the ghosts here first, but it will take at least ten seconds to complete the casting afterwards. The archers are too dispersed. If they focus on attacking those raiders and swordsmen, most of them should be able to be eliminated."
Ru Yueying said: "It's enough. The only variable now is how strong the bone devil will be. You can prepare first and tell us when you are ready. He Ming, borrow a shield to fight with me!"
Recalling the time when Ye Zilan summoned the flames of hell on the seventh floor of the stone tomb, even the stone wall could burn a pit. Hope suddenly surged in He Ming's heart. As soon as Ru Yueying finished speaking, he immediately carried the sword on his back.
A shield guard near him also cooperated and handed the shield to him directly, then drew out the long sword and retreated behind the other people's shields, ready to charge at any time.
Ye Zilan ran quickly to the tail of the team and began to activate all the souls devoured by the Soul-Devouring Staff. The soft chanting led to the wail of countless souls, causing violent fluctuations in the air across a large area, making the people around him feel that their spirits were greatly shocked.
Enduring the dizzy pain, people kept stepping slowly and took care of protecting Ye Zilan, while He Ming was waiting for Ye Zilan to give orders at any time.
But the skeleton monsters were not idle either. It was obvious that the bone devil general also felt the threat from Ye Zilan, the mage. It began to wave the war hammer and direct the skeleton army to advance at a faster speed!
Ye Zilan had no ability to move at all. The dizzy voice mixed with huge turmoil spread out from her as the center. Obviously she had no energy to pay attention to other situations.
And the skeletons have accelerated their pace and rushed towards them!
The plan cannot keep up with the changes, so no matter what, I can only stop them first and buy time for Ye Zilan to cast spells. Ru Yueying did not say a word, but did not retreat when the enemy approached, and she met with one sword and the other shield.
He Ming also carried the shield and rushed forward. The skeleton spearmen used their same tricks again, and the whole row slammed forward together, and the row behind them was about to be connected.
But He Ming did not intend to cooperate with them well. He clearly saw that he was rushing forward with his shield, but when the spear was about to stab the shield, He Ming suddenly retreated quickly, and the spear that was stabbing towards him was only a slight difference, as if he could pierce it immediately.
He Ming retreated quickly and immediately let the row of skeletons in front of him leave the queue.
These monsters were indecisive in their attacks. They tried their best to make the target in front of them suddenly sting far away but failed to hit them. They couldn't control themselves and rushed out of the queue, making it impossible for the skeletons and spearmen behind them to make timely replacements for assistance.
He Ming was not polite, and waved his shield in one hand and pulled out the thunder in his right hand, chopped down the two skeleton spearmen, and danced with sword flowers and chopped the rest.
Ru Yueying was not as fancy as He Ming. When his shield was about to hit the spear, he turned around and waved his full strength, and actually knocked off the spears of several skeleton spearmen's hands! This action made the people behind him frightened to see him. Is this guy really a human?
Ru Yueying's backhand was thrust his shield, but instead of being stabbed in front of him, he beat the seemingly unstoppable skeleton spearmen to pieces. The formation was in chaos. He turned sideways, passed the dragon-slaying sword, and the half-moon scimitar danced. In an instant, the skeleton spearmen flew around and became a mess.
At the same time, Qingshui and Qingluo commanded the two divine beasts to force themselves into the back of the skeleton queue, attracting at least two waves of archers' volleys, and buying some time for Ru Yueying and He Ming.
