After the Immortal Disappeared

Chapter 203 Each Has His Own Mission

When the ambush arrived, the Baling defenders of Weicheng also opened the city gates and rushed out, attacking the Dafeng army from two directions.

The fight in the night was particularly fierce.

Sun Duwei, Xiao Maoliang and others were also moved, because the number of ambushes set up by the Baling people in the wilderness reached an astonishing 30,000!

Including the nearly 10,000 people who intercepted and killed General Nan Ke, this time the Baling people actually dispatched more than 40,000 people, and their belief in achieving success in one battle was really firm.

This radical and fierce fighting style has never been used by the Baling people before.

Is it all because of the change of commander?

After a few rounds, the Dafeng army was divided into two teams, led by Sun Duwei and Liu Duwei, retreating from the south and north respectively. There were too many enemies, and Weicheng was already the territory of the Baling people. If the Dafeng army did not want to become a turtle in a jar, it had to withdraw before being surrounded.

At this time, the quality of the army was revealed. In the dark night, facing an ambush that was six times their own, the order to withdraw came suddenly, but the Dafeng Army was still busy but not chaotic, fast but not leaking, and slipped through the gap.

Looking at the "red" flag fluttering in the evening breeze, the Baling Army must of course muster up the remaining courage to pursue the enemy. The Dafeng Army is the most elite team in Panlong City. Although it is well-known, its number is actually limited. If these more than 5,000 people are killed, Panlong City will be seriously injured.

What's more, General Hong is here!

General Hong came from behind and became the backbone of Panlong City with his heroic record.

If General Hong can be defeated, then how long will it take for Baling to take over the entire Panlong City?

One fled and the other chased, and the smoke and dust went east.

The battlefield became quiet, and only the wounded were groaning in the mess.

Since the Dafeng Army had withdrawn, the Baling defenders in Weicheng had to come out quickly to clean up the battlefield.

This kind of logistics team is called Dushanying, and has a special uniform system. They were not responsible for fighting, and the enemy rarely attacked them.

After the battle, their task was to collect prisoners of war and transport the wounded.

There were not many Panlong prisoners of war, only 20 or 30. But because the Dafeng Army had just fired two rounds of rapid cumulation, more than 400 people in the Baling Fu Army were shot by arrows, 70 or 80 lost their ability to move, and more than 30 were seriously injured, not counting the dead.

All of them needed to enter the city for treatment as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Weicheng was close at hand, and the soldiers of Dushan Camp carried stretchers back and forth a few times and transported most of the wounded back.

In addition to the original Huamucuo Army in Weicheng, some of the logistics teams of the Baling Army brought by the new commander also joined the Dushan Camp to temporarily expand the manpower.

This resulted in the Dushan Camp being full of unfamiliar faces, and many soldiers in the same camp did not know each other.

A dozen logistics soldiers had just sent the wounded and prisoners into the city, and suddenly took out a glass bottle from their arms and smashed it against the city wall!

Nine huge copper talismans are embedded on the inner wall of Weicheng, more than ten feet above the ground. This is a large-scale defensive formation specially set up by the Baling people after they captured Weicheng, referred to as a battle formation.

As we all know, Yuanli can weaken or offset the opponent's magical powers, and can also be used to strengthen one's own magical powers. But if both armies use Yuanli to strengthen their own magical powers to attack the enemy during the battle, then the battle will be complicated and full of variables.

The battle has just ended. Of course, these nine copper talismans are infused with Yuanli, emitting a faint green light, and runes fly out, slowly rotating around the copper plate. They can ensure that the city wall is harder and more durable, and there is another wonderful use:

Spreading the "Purifying Heart Mantra"!

With the nine talismans as the center, the Baling people within a radius of three miles can keep their minds clear and not be confused by evil spirits.

It has only been three years since General Hong appeared. The Baling Kingdom still does not know the magical effect of the big square pot, nor can they see the existence of the three corpse worms, but they know that their soldiers suddenly went crazy and turned against their side on the battlefield, which must have been caused by the enemy's mind-confusing spell.

The Qingxin Mantra itself is not easy to perform, and it needs to be made into a large-scale, long-term array device, which requires a huge talisman plate to accommodate the complex array lines.

The talisman array master of the Baling Kingdom also took great pains. Although the nine-sided copper talisman is a set, it can actually operate normally without two or three sides, but outsiders don't know it. After all, anything can happen on the battlefield. If a few copper talismans are damaged, the rest can continue to defend against the enemy.

However, now that these dozen logistics soldiers have taken action at the same time, at least six talisman arrays have been hit.

The glass bottle was smashed, and the colorless liquid inside splashed on the copper talisman, which immediately sizzled and emitted a cloud of green smoke, and the delicate array lines began to deform, just like a candle being burned and melted.

The green light on the copper talisman suddenly went out. There was a soldier from Baling standing nearby, who was unfortunately splashed as well, and immediately rolled on the ground with his face in his hands.

The logistics soldier closest to the city gate climbed up the ladder silently, and the Baling city guards stepped forward to intercept him, but somehow he was shaken off.

The logistics soldier quickly stood beside the intact bronze talisman, and his speed did not slow down, but the figures of the city guards froze, and then they either fell down or fell off the ladder.

Everyone who saw this scene gasped, thinking that they had suddenly seen a ghost at night.

The logistics soldier drew his sword and cut the talisman in one go.

When he put away his sword, a huge "X" had already appeared on the bronze talisman plate.

The talisman array engraved on it was completely destroyed.

The two torches beside the bronze talisman were also cut off, and darkness suddenly enveloped the place.

At the same time, his companions also threw two whistling arrows into the sky, and the dark night sky suddenly burst into two dazzling lights, one blue and one red.

The incident happened suddenly, and before the Baling defenders could react, someone on the inner street was already shouting, "Close the city gate, close the city gate quickly!"

In order to facilitate the entry and exit of the logistics team, the gate of Weicheng was always open.

The Baling defenders were in a hurry to close the city gates, but the dozen logistics soldiers and the prisoners from Panlong City rushed back to stop them. One of them grabbed a bow and arrow from his back and shot down four Baling soldiers with three consecutive arrows.

One shot hit two people in a row.

The torch illuminated his face. It was Hu Min, an old acquaintance of He Lingchuan!

The logistics soldier next to the copper talisman also took out a small blue pot and opened the lid.

The pot had two handles and was very delicate. There was a ruby ​​embedded in the middle of the pot.

No one else could see, hundreds of three corpse insects poured out of the pot and pounced on the nearest Baling people!

¥¥¥¥¥

He Lingchuan jumped into the cave and was bounced up by the spider web.

It felt like playing on a trampoline.

He used the force to roll down layer by layer, making sure his head and face did not touch the spider web.

Although the world was spinning, he could still see many discordant figures on the brocade - they were all big spider monsters, chasing him relentlessly.

If he hadn't rolled too fast, he would have been caught up by others.

As soon as He Lingchuan came down, he found that the space inside the nest seemed terribly large.

When he rolled to the second-to-last spider web, he barely stopped his body, but the mud on his hands was almost scraped off.

Looking around, the huge stalactites grew bigger and bigger in the endless years, connected up and down, and finally formed stone pillars that could support the underground world.

There were at least dozens of such stone pillars, some long and some short, perhaps growing, and there was no pattern to be seen, but there was a sense of beauty of supernatural craftsmanship, making the cave extremely layered.

The space supported by the stone pillars was like the inside of a honeycomb cake, with one large or small, semi-open stone chamber after another connected, with dense stalactites hanging from the top, and a thick layer of black humus on the ground, piled with dead branches and leaves.

There were also moss-like plants growing on the soil, green or purple, dense and compact, like a thick carpet covering the stone chamber.

In short, he was facing a huge, three-dimensional, magnificent underground maze with at least thirty or forty floors!

Even if there were no spiders chasing him, He Lingchuan didn't think he could figure out the maze.

Of course, there were glowing spores everywhere on the mountain walls and in the stone chamber, illuminating the huge spider queen's nest.

So He Lingchuan could clearly see that directly below him, and only directly below him, he was facing a terrible abyss!

This huge cave, only the center was empty.

Because there were still glowing spores at the bottom of the abyss, it looked as far away as the stars in the sky. He Lingchuan roughly estimated that he was about... fifty or seventy feet (between one hundred and sixty and two hundred meters) away from the bottom of the abyss?

If he fell straight down like this, he would definitely turn into meat paste, right?

Obviously, this is also one of the spider queen's defense methods, so that intruders cannot easily invade its maze, especially when there are spider guards coming from all directions.

He Lingchuan was surrounded by spider guards from the beginning of his tumble.

They came so timely, probably because they were angered by Sun Jiayuan before.

He Lingchuan also found a broken arm on the spider web under his feet. Judging from the remaining cloth, this should be the remains of Sun Jiayuan. I think he fell to this position before, and was pressed down by the spider group before he could even draw his bow.

He Lingchuan looked around and found that the spider web was full of bloody remains. It was obvious that the explosion just now was quite powerful.

The worst thing was that the spider guards came again.

In this spider web world, He Lingchuan could not be more agile than the spiders. When he stabilized his body and half-crouched up, the web lines leading to the rock wall were all occupied by spider guards.

He couldn't get through.

And in at most ten breaths, the spider guards would pounce in front of him.

He certainly couldn't bear the anger of hundreds of elite monsters. Ordinary people would probably be scared to their legs when facing such an eight-legged torrent.

Zhu Erniang's nest is really a pit!

He Lingchuan had no time to complain. He bent his bow and aimed at the largest and closest stone chambers, firing four consecutive arrows!

Although the cave was empty, the temperature was not very pleasant, and it smelled a bit musty.

To be more precise, it smelled like fermentation.

At this time, He Lingchuan welcomed all combustion aids.

All four command arrows hit the target accurately.

Bang, bang, bang, four explosions, and flames shot up to the sky!

This constant temperature, quiet, and orderly space ushered in the first noise.

There were both plants and dead leaves in the stone chamber, all of which could be ignited at a touch. After the gunpowder carried on the command arrow exploded, sparks flew everywhere, and wherever it fell, it burned.

Four command arrows could ignite twelve or thirteen stone chambers at once!

There were also spiders left behind to guard the stone chambers, and they were all scared and flew around like headless flies.
