Chapter 386: Hundred Days of Black Flame, the Rat King Reappears! (Two in One)
This Niujiao City is naturally one of the 28 cities of Cuibai Dao.
In fact, Niujiao City is not the first city to fall in the past three months!
Before this, two other cities had also fallen, and even now they have not been recovered, which shows how tense the situation of Cuibai Dao's human race is!
"Is there another big monster?" Song Changming frowned when he heard this.
The reason why the first two big cities were captured by the monsters was that the big monster suddenly appeared and forcibly broke the city with supreme monster power.
As for the masters of Cuibai Main City, they have been unable to do anything these days.
Those big monsters are not vegetarians either. During this period, there were also masters of the family who were defeated and fled back to the main city to heal their wounds after being injured by the big monsters.
"No, this time it was captured by the monster group." Yang Zhen shook his head.
"." Song Changming was speechless for a moment.
Even without the big monsters, the big city could be lost. This can only be the responsibility of the army stationed in Niujiao City.
"Which army is so useless?" Xing Tiexin, who was standing by, had just heard the bad news and could not help but snorted.
"The 29th Army." Yang Zhen was not in the mood to mock and accuse, and continued: "The commander of the army died in battle, and only one in ten of his soldiers survived."
After these words came out, even Xing Tiexin changed his face and fell silent.
Even the commander died in battle, and the soldiers were almost dead. In this case, it can almost be confirmed that this army has tried their best, but the situation is really powerless to turn the tide.
In this way, the 29th Army is almost dead in name only.
"If I remember correctly, this should be the first one." Song Changming suddenly asked.
Yang Zhen nodded, "Yes, the first commander of the Cuiqi Army who died in battle!"
From the fall of the first city to the death of the first commander, these news hit their human camp like a heavy hammer, which was shocking and sad at the same time, and it was a big blow to morale.
What a great figure the Marshal was. Even a strong man like him had to die in this war with the demons, which shows how brutal the war was.
Even their 41st Army, although they had not lost a big city, the casualties of the soldiers were already a serious problem.
Now, the reserve army has been fully replenished, but it is still difficult to be fully staffed.
Although the twelve main generals have not been killed, more than one deputy general has died in the battle.
Almost every army has suffered casualties!
"I don't know when this evil sign will end." Song Changming looked at the lingering black radiance above his head and sighed.
Although he could obtain a large amount of demon blood essence on the battlefield, he also hoped that this invaded war would end as soon as possible.
He hoped to fight to his heart's content in the demon territory, rather than tearing the human land into pieces and making the people live in misery as it is now.
Song Changming knew that the key to the problem was this round of black yon. As long as the fierce phenomenon of Tiansha swallowing the sun ended and the black yon dissipated, the demons would naturally retreat like a tide.
"It's been a hundred days," Yang Zhen also sighed.
This sigh was for the human race and for himself.
Now even a general in the army has fallen. God knows whether the next general in the army like him can survive to the end on the battlefield.
At the same time, outside Leicheng.
There are many mountains and rocks, and there are many mineral veins here, and there are also jades to be mined.
The spiritual crystal vein that Song Changming and his party defended back then was here.
It is said that his first windfall was also obtained in the mission here.
A human scout team landed on a bare mountain, sensed and probed, and looked around.
"It seems that there is a demonic aura left?"
After looking around, the scout leader frowned suddenly.
"Something is wrong here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the mountains shook, and a group of moles rushed out.
The lightning flashed, and the human scouts were submerged in just one encounter, leaving them no chance to escape.
"Delicious human warrior blood!" A Kangjin rat monster sniffed the smell of human blood, intoxicated.
"Stupid, this is for the king to heal his wounds!" said another Kangjin rat monster.
"I know it, I just smelled it, why are you in such a hurry?" The Kangjin rat monster muttered impatiently.
"This is just the blood of an innate warrior, and it smells so sweet. I really want to taste the legendary blood of a master that can transform a demon, even if it's just one drop."
"Tsk, you really dare to think that, every drop of the master's blood contains great power, how can we covet it, even if it's the king of our family, forget it, let's send this human blood over quickly."
A group of rat demons said, swept away the bodies of the human scouts, and burrowed into the ground again and disappeared on the mountains.
The rat demons drilled all the way down, and the black spikes on their heads emitted buzzing electromagnetic waves, which could easily shatter the compact rock and soil under the ground, making them seem to have no obstacles when drilling into the ground.
In a blink of an eye, they went deep into the ground.
There, there were more moles entrenched, and they unknowingly dug out the ground in this area, like an underground kingdom.
"My lord, we have brought the blood of the innate warriors." Several Kangjin Rat Monsters presented the bodies of the human scouts like offering treasures.
In front of them, on a tall jade platform, the huge body of the Kangjin Rat King was lying on it.
The spikes on his back were directly against the top of the rock, and his pupils slightly opened a slit and glanced.
Then he stretched out his long tongue feebly and rolled it, and put the bodies of the human scouts into his mouth and swallowed them directly.
"More, I want more human blood and spiritual ore!" Kangjin Rat King shouted.
"Yes, yes, my king!"
The rat demons knelt down tremblingly and responded, and hurriedly ran out to find supplies for their king.
Kangjin Rat King was panting, and his huge body was still covered with scars and bloodstains.
Even its breath was very weak, and it looked weak, obviously it was seriously injured.
"Damn it, if you don't let me go back, staying here will undoubtedly lead to death!"
Kangjin Rat King closed his eyes again, but his heart was not calm, full of anger and hatred.
It not only hated the human master who had repeatedly injured it, but also hated the powerful existence of the demon race who forced it to stay in Cuibai Road.
It knew very well that it was repeatedly used by the other party and was constantly squeezing its surplus value.
The other party didn't care about the life and death of a little mouse like it.
"Damn it! Damn it!" It was furious, and the more it thought about it, the angrier it got.
But it felt powerless and could only lie down underground, unable to do anything.
The other party's strength was deeply rooted in the demon's heart. If it disobeyed the other party's orders, it would have no choice but to die.
And now, it was obedient and stirred up trouble on the Cuibai Road. As long as it ran fast enough, it still had hope of surviving.
But the premise of wanting to survive was that it had to heal its wounds as soon as possible. If it continued to be so weak, it would not even be able to protect itself.
A pair of rat eyes were filled with uncertain colors, and it suddenly made up its mind. The demonic aura around it rolled up and pulled several rat demons to its side.
"Let me ask you, which is the nearest human city?"
"Reply to the king, yes, it is Leicheng, not far away, just 200 miles to the west." The rat demon replied hurriedly.
"How many people are there in the city, and are there any human masters in charge?" The rat king asked.
"There should be several million people. According to investigation, there is no master guarding the city at present, and only a few human armies are stationed there." The rat demon was well-informed and answered one by one.
When he heard that there was no master, the rat king's small eyes suddenly burst into a bit of ferocity.
"Notify the little ones, we will break into the city and eat human flesh today!"
As soon as this was said, the rat demon was shocked and hesitated: "But, but isn't the king recuperating?"
It knew that its own king was seriously injured now, and it was somewhat irrational to attack the human city now.
Although there was no master guarding Leicheng, it did not mean that the human master would not come to support after receiving the news.
Once the human master ran into him, the seriously injured rat king would definitely be defeated.
"Humph, recuperating requires a lot of human flesh and blood. How can the little blood you secretly got be enough for me? I will never get well with only this little supply!" The rat king said coldly.
It wanted to attack the city, just to have a chance to devour a large amount of human flesh and blood in the city, so as to recover from its injuries as soon as possible.
It had enough of hiding from place to place with its seriously injured body.
Even if this move might attract the attack of the human master again, he could not care so much.
At worst, it could break the city defense formation, grab a few big mouthfuls and run away.
As long as it is not greedy, it can always beat Qiu Feng and get away smoothly.
"Go quickly!"
"Yes, yes."
The rat demon hurriedly prepared, not daring to anger its own rat king again.
In the evening, in the camp of Leicheng.
A large pot was set up, a bonfire was lit, and meat soup was stewed. The soldiers gathered in a circle to eat big meat.
For warriors, big meat is indispensable for every meal.
The more you consume, the more nutritious food you need to eat.
Of course, these are not the meat of monsters, but the flesh and blood of ordinary livestock or wild beasts.
Except for Song Changming and a few warriors with strong resistance, the demonic energy remaining in the flesh and blood of the monsters is a great hazard to most warriors. Swallowing it will do more harm than good.
"After eating, go to hand over the shift. Brothers at night should keep a close eye. Although the monsters rarely attack at night, they do happen."
A general officer walked through the camp and reminded loudly.
"Yes!" The soldiers responded one by one.
After eating and drinking, night fell, and each of them went to the top of the city to change shifts and keep an eye on the city.
Until late at night, suddenly a signal flare flew up in the distance and exploded in the night sky.
Even if there were dark clouds and haze, it was difficult to stop the fire from flashing in the sky.
"There is a situation!" The soldiers on guard on the top of the city were shocked.
"Prepare to sound the alarm, I'll go and see!" Several generals immediately flew to the distance to find out the situation.
From a distance, they soon discovered that several outposts built outside the city had been destroyed.
There was no news from the patrolling troops outside the city. All signs proved that something went wrong tonight!
"There is a demonic aura!" A general suddenly sensed a trace of demonic aura, and his heart was alarmed.
The next moment, the calm ground below suddenly broke into many large holes, and countless figures rushed towards them in the air.
"Die!" The rat demon's voice was sharp, laughing wildly, and the claws in his hands burst into a sizzling electric light, and the speed of his jump was quite fast.
"Not good!" Several centurions were shocked and felt familiar.
"It's a rat demon!"
"Go back and inform the commander!"
Buzz!
The city defense formation of Leicheng, surrounded by mountains and rocks, was activated at the first time.
A layer of light curtain covered the entire city, isolating the inside and outside, and the demonic aura could not enter at all.
"Hmm!" Inside the city, Song Changming stopped his Qi training and took back a high-grade spirit crystal that had not been used up.
"What happened?" Song Changming asked.
Outside the door, Rong Jiang's voice floated in.
"The city defense formation is open, General, I'll go check it out."
"Hmm."
Soon, Rong Jiang flew back and brought back the news.
Rong Jiang's voice was a little hurried, reporting: "General, the situation is not good, there are monsters outside the city attacking!"
Song Changming heard the words, his face was stern, and he immediately stood up and strode out.
There is no black glow at night, and the monsters are mostly active only during the day, but it is not ruled out that the other party is cunning and does the opposite.
Song Changming has encountered such a thing in the past.
If the war preparations are not timely, it is indeed easy to suffer losses.
On the high wall in the distance, there was a bang, and a lightning strike broke through the sky, hitting the light curtain above the city, making a crackling sound.
Song Changming looked up, his vision widened and he instantly locked onto that figure.
The familiar aura of the demon clan made him think for a moment.
"Kangjin Rat Demon?"
The distance was too far, Song Changming was still a little unsure, and Xing Tiexin on the other side had already stabbed out with a gun, and the gun energy instantly hit the demon clan.
The demon clan was hit hard and transformed back into a demon body, which was the Kangjin Rat Demon covered with spikes.
This rat demon was also an old acquaintance for Song Changming.
The last time the rat tide retreated in Xiguang City, now it met again.
Song Changming was not worried about the ordinary Kangjin Rat Demon. What he really cared about was whether the Rat King had also arrived!
On the city wall, Marshal Wang Tianshuang obviously had this concern, staring at the mountains and rivers outside the city with a serious face.
Usually the Kangjin Rat King appeared by breaking through the ground and hiding underground.
And this time, it was no exception!
A huge figure emerged from the ground, it was the great demon Kangjin Rat King!
Old friends, meet again
"Marshal, I have contacted the main city and the Grand Marshal!" Wang Shifu completed the contact as soon as the Kangjin Rat King appeared.
Next, we just need to wait for the supporting masters to arrive at the battlefield!
"Send all the inventory of spiritual crystals to supply the operation of the city defense formation!" Wang Tianshuang ordered.
"Yes, yes!"
The city lord not far away wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, responded repeatedly, looked at the great demon in the distance, and left in a hurry.
"Marshal." Song Changming landed beside Wang Tianshuang.
"This rat king was seriously injured, and his aura is far less than before. You and I should be able to 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 with a great demon, even a seriously injured one.
Without the cultivation strength of the innate perfection realm, even approaching a great demon is impossible.
