Chapter 257 Elite Troops Enter the Arena

The war of gods began, and the funeral tribes woke up from their slumber one after another. They dismantled the black tombstones in the back and rearranged them in the front.

This is also the fastest way to build a defense line.

The tombs formed an insurmountable barrier. Hundreds of black tombstones spewed ghost fire at the same time, making it difficult for the enemy to break through this layer of defense.

Even if there were occasional ones rushing to the front, they would be blocked and intercepted by the ghouls and eliminated with the help of ghost fire.

Yan Jiu saw all this.

The ghost world is waiting for the opportunity, but the strategic situation is not optimistic.

The enemy is not an ordinary person.

The attacking Zhulu Kingdom, the front-line vanguard main force is all bamboo beasts. They are composed of bamboo people, with different shapes.

The bamboo people are tall and slender, composed of bamboo tubes. Their bodies are extremely flexible and have strong resistance to blows. Their weaknesses are slow speed and insufficient damage burst.

But when facing the tomb group line of the ghost world, the shortcomings of the bamboo people are not a problem.

They have enough time to merge with each other and piece together into bamboo beasts. Some bamboo men become joints, some become spines, some serve as limbs, some become body bones, and some construct heads.

Many bamboo men interlock and cross each other, and fight in the form of bamboo beasts.

Each bamboo beast is like a two-story wooden house. They usually wear special bamboo armor. When running, their bodies make creaking sounds, but they are light and flexible when fighting.

They can stretch their bodies greatly, turn and detour in various incredible ways, making it difficult for the ghost fire of the tomb group to cross hit.

When burned by the ghost fire, the bamboo beast will shake off the bamboo armor on its back, or evacuate immediately, replace the bamboo man in the rear, and then charge again.

There are two ways for bamboo beasts to attack.

The first is the simplest brutal collision, through the sword horns, bamboo spears and bamboo thorns extended from the body, piercing and tearing the corpse ghosts at high speed, destroying the rammed earth, bricks and stones of the tombstones and even the ghost fire skeletons.

The second is to transport bamboo warriors.

Once the bamboo beast breaks through the fire net and reaches the inner circle, it can spit out the bamboo man in its stomach.

At this time, the bamboo warriors wearing armor and holding swords rolled out one by one. They would quickly dig the black tombstone with chisels and pickaxes and rush in to occupy it.

The ghosts had no power to fight back against the bamboo warriors. So once they were approached by the bamboo beasts, the ghosts had no choice but to abandon the tomb and retreat. However, not far behind, the funeral tribe would create a new black tombstone to continue to reinforce the defense.

The front line was deadlocked in the repeated tugs of war between the two sides.

The weakness of the ghost world's lack of mobility was gradually exposed.

Yan Jiu had been in the ghost world for many years and had a basic understanding of the situation here.

Although this kingdom of gods has a population of nearly 100,000, most of them are ghosts. The ghosts gathered together and lived in the black tombstone, which could increase the lethality of the ghost fire and continuously feed back to this wonder.

The ghosts were weak in combat power and lacked equipment such as ghost armor. Therefore, they were extremely dependent on the tombstone ghost fire and the tombstone guarding ghouls when fighting.

Once the two lines of defense were breached, the ghosts lost their ability to resist.

The core of the funeral tribe actually only had about 200 people. They were both superhumans and variants of ghouls. Their birth rate was always low and their life span was long, but they could not reproduce like ordinary people.

One less death.

The bamboo beasts also understood this. In addition to destroying the tombs, they specifically attacked the funeral tribe that appeared around the black tombstones to repair and build.

In comparison, the bamboo people were more numerous, with more diverse strategies and tactics, and they had the initiative.

After probing, the Zhulu Kingdom confirmed that the ghost world lacked means of counterattack, and then divided the bamboo beasts to attack and pull from different areas and fronts.

It seemed that the bamboo beasts in many places were defeated, but Yanjiu, who could move quickly with the help of sand, could see clearly that most of the bamboo beasts were feinting, and their real target of attack was the funeral tribe. They were willing to exchange their lives to consume the real core strength of the tombs.

If the war of gods could not be ended in a short time, it would become a competition of comprehensive strength between the kingdoms of gods.

Having personally witnessed the battle between King Wuji and God Bo, Yan Jiu already understood this.

But the ghost world is not completely at a disadvantage.

The undertaker can use his body to collect ghosts. After the bamboo man dies, the ghost will be taken away and transformed, becoming the living force of the ghost world, and the tomb group can be slowly strengthened.

So although the size of the tomb group is gradually shrinking, the individual strength is continuously improving. The front line is basically all second-level tombstones, and the third-level tombstones supporting the rear.

In three years, the war has intensified, and the soldiers of both sides have been killed, and their hidden strengths have also surfaced.

A fourth-level black tombstone appeared on the battlefield.

It has four layers, but the stone tablet is covered with blood. The left half of the face of the skull on it has rotten flesh, and the right half of the face is only bone, and there are two balls of green fire in the eye socket.

It bites and chews with its upper and lower jaws, making a weird laugh.

The ghost fire gushing out of the eyes of the half-faced skeleton has strong adhesion, which will ignite at a touch and quickly spread on the bamboo beast, with great lethality.

When the fourth-level tombstone first appeared, the two bamboo beasts were burned to black ash in the first fight.

The skeleton watched the prey struggling and wailing in the flames, and laughed harshly.

Before the people in the ghost world were happy, the half-faced skeleton sprayed the flames at its own people, burning the four ghouls to the ground, and finally turned into charcoal.

This crazy skeleton did not distinguish between enemies and friends. As long as others entered its attack range, they would be burned for fun.

The fourth-level tombstone transformed from a [black tombstone] to a [crazy tombstone].

Yan Jiu finally understood why the fourth-level tombstone was invisible.

This kind of uncontrollable thing is a disaster in peacetime.

And the hundreds of ghosts in the fourth-level tombstone were completely absorbed by the skeleton, almost sacrificing, and the cost was extremely high.

The Zhulu Kingdom immediately took countermeasures.

A bamboo beast that had never appeared before entered the battlefield.

They were like large pointed dragonflies, gliding in the air with thin and wide wings.

Yan Jiu was very surprised.

Zhulu Kingdom could actually control the high-altitude area, which was really the worst news for the ghost world.

He soon found that he had overestimated the bamboo people.

Bamboo birds cannot fly independently. They need to stop on the towering and continuous flying bamboo towers built by bamboo people, and then the flexible bamboo ropes formed by many bamboo people stretch the arrow-shaped bamboo birds and throw them out with great force.

The whole process is like archery.

The arrow-shaped bamboo bird is shot into the cloud, and then it will open its wings and begin to fly with the help of the high-altitude strong wind.

This process requires a tall and special bamboo tower, and also relies on the precise cooperation of bamboo people, as well as the precise control of bamboo birds, and the use of weather and wind.

Yan Jiu secretly observed and found that the success rate of bamboo birds taking off was not high, and they often failed to take off and fell. I think this is also the reason why Zhulu Kingdom did not fully deploy it at the beginning. Like the fourth-level tombstone, it has a large loss and is immature.

Even if it succeeds, the bamboo bird cannot fly for a long time. It basically circles around the battlefield, draws an arc, and then flies back.

If it does not return in time, the height of the bamboo bird will drop rapidly, making it difficult to control and it is easy to fall in the enemy-occupied area.

Although it cannot fly long distances, it is also a fact that it occupies the commanding heights.

The strategic significance of bamboo birds is huge. They can not only cross the tomb group line and clearly observe the tombstone layout of the ghost world, but also further survey the position of the funeral tribe in the rear.

They began to send bamboo people into the depths of the ghost world, destroying and assassinating the funeral tribe everywhere, making the crazy tombstone layout in front like a punch on cotton.

...

Yan Jiu was not prepared to take action.

This is a war between two gods, and a confrontation between two kingdoms of God.

In the final analysis, he is just an outsider. Apostle Buluo also told him not to participate in the war of gods.

But not long ago, a group of bamboo birds suddenly aimed at him.

Bamboo soldiers fell from the sky one by one, twisted their bodies and stood firm without any damage. They held bamboo swords and bamboo spears and launched a swift and unceremonious attack on him.

"Finally found you, a pagan spy!"

"You secretly collected our country's secrets in the rear, don't think about running away today!"

"You will die today!"

Yan Jiu was also a little helpless.

Originally, he just wanted to watch, but he was still involved.

When the war comes, no one can really stay out of it.

In this case.

Then enjoy the battle.

Yan Jiu's blurred sandy head restored his face, and he raised his hand and said: "Yancheng Yan Jiu, please teach me."
