Chapter 251 Giant Beast
Hu Qing looked at the chaotic battlefield below. He released his spiritual sense to investigate. The strength of the invading demons this time was not strong. Most of them were demons in the foundation-building stage to the core-forming stage.
Their attack methods are relatively simple, basically hand-to-hand combat with their own soldiers. However, after all, the alien demons have thick skin and flesh, and they have a far greater advantage in close combat than humans.
Although there were occasionally a few magical demons hiding in the sea, they were easily killed by the archers who were on the side.
Zheng Su and Elder Yan did not go into battle either. Instead, they stood under the city wall with dozens of captains to provide support. Since the demons were not strong, they treated them all as soldiers for training.
The battle was over quickly. Since these demons had no intention of escaping, they fought with humans until they were all killed.
Led by Zheng Su, the soldiers slowly retreated to the city wall to rest.
On the beach, the corpses of the demons piled up like a mountain, emitting a disgusting smell of blood.
Elder Yan took some captains to count the casualties, and finally learned that dozens of people were slightly injured and three people died.
Although this number is not tragic, the loss of every life is like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang stood on the city wall, overlooking the beach below.
Their hearts were filled with complex emotions, including joy for victory and sorrow for the fallen soldiers.
They saw soldiers cleaning up the battlefield, blood flowing down the beach into the waves and then disappearing into the sea.
The dark clouds in the sky also covered the moon, and the sea was pitch black, making it impossible to see where the demon was.
Elder Han just jumped off the city wall and stood with Elder Yan after the battle was over. Now the two of them and Zheng Su were looking at the sea and no one knew what they were talking about.
Apart from some archers, there were only Gu Yang and two others left on the city wall. Hu Qing's spiritual sense was not far enough away, so he didn't know what the next attack of the alien demon would be.
"These damn demons come and go quickly." Gu Yang whispered, with a hint of doubt in his voice, "What on earth are they thinking?"
Hu Qing shook his head. He also couldn't understand the demon's intentions.
Their invasion strength this time is not strong, and they feel like even less than cannon fodder.
Cannon fodder at least contributes to the subsequent team. Their death seems useless. I just don’t know what the demons are thinking.
The invasion ended so quickly that both Hu Qing and Gu Yang were a little surprised.
"Perhaps this is just a test from them," Hu Qing mused, "They are testing our strength and preparing for the next attack."
Gu Yang looked at Zheng Su at the foot of the city wall and said, "I don't think so. They have been fighting for so long, they can't still be testing each other. I always feel something is wrong."
"That's right, I just used the Jindan secret skill, but I didn't have any premonitions, so there shouldn't be any danger." Hu Qing said helplessly.
He originally thought that his foresight could play a huge role on the battlefield, but he didn't expect that until now, he had no premonition at all.
……
The sea breeze was howling, mixed with a faint smell of blood, and the beach was in a mess.
Zheng Su stood at the edge of the beach, staring at the sea with sharp eyes.
The demons that had just been pouring in like a tide now seemed to be dispersed by an invisible force and disappeared without a trace.
The demonic aura that emerged from the sea also completely disappeared at this moment. All this was too unexpected.
"General, the demons seem to have retreated." A deputy general stepped forward, his tone filled with a hint of confusion and joy.
Zheng Su frowned, feeling a sense of unease. The sudden retreat of these demons seemed quite unusual.
He said in a deep voice: "Don't let your guard down. The demons are cunning and cunning. Maybe this is just one of their tricks."
At this moment, a captain came running over, his face full of panic:
"General, this is bad! The sea surface has suddenly calmed down, but the detection array indicates strong movement on the seabed!"
Zheng Su was startled and immediately gave the order: "Pass the order down, all soldiers immediately retreat to the foot of the city wall, and archers are ready to respond to any emergency at any time."
The soldiers acted quickly and the beach suddenly became filled with a tense atmosphere.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang were attracted by the sudden chaos. They looked down but still didn't find anything unusual.
Zheng Su flew to a high place, staring at the sea with an eagle-like gaze.
Suddenly, the sea began to roll violently, as if some huge monster was waking up.
"Look!" a soldier exclaimed.
Suddenly, a huge crack appeared on the sea surface, and streams of black fog poured out of the crack and quickly spread.
Zheng Su's heart sank. This was definitely not an ordinary vision. It must be a conspiracy of the devil.
"Archers, prepare to shoot!" Zheng Su shouted sternly.
Since I don't know what it is, I might as well take the initiative and test it out.
The archers quickly drew their bowstrings and shot arrows into the black fog like rain.
However, as soon as the arrows touched the black fog, they were scattered by an invisible force and could not penetrate at all.
At this moment, a deafening roar suddenly came from the black fog, and then a huge figure slowly rose from the sea.
It was a giant beast that was dozens of feet tall, covered with black scales all over its body, and its eyes were like two burning charcoal flames, emitting a faint green light.
There are two huge right angles on the bald head, and some twisted tentacles are wrapped around the body.
"What kind of monster is this?" the soldiers whispered in horror.
Zheng Su's heart trembled. What on earth was this thing? Its strength was far beyond those of the previous demons, but why was it only in the late Nascent Soul stage?
He shouted in a deep voice, "Everyone, don't panic. Follow my command! Archers, keep shooting and cover the other soldiers as they retreat back into the city walls!"
These soldiers have little impact on the battle situation now. If they stay where they are, the losses may be even greater. It is better to let them withdraw in advance.
"The lieutenant general and the other seven captains, protect the city walls and don't let this behemoth destroy any buildings."
"Yes, General!"
However, just as Zheng Su was about to give the order for the archers to retreat, the huge demon suddenly opened its mouth, and a stream of black air gushed out of its mouth, instantly sweeping across the entire beach.
The archer felt dizzy and his body seemed to be restrained by an invisible force, unable to move.
"What kind of magic is this?" The archers were horrified. Their hands and legs were completely controlled and they couldn't move.
Zheng Su looked at the archers behind him. If they couldn't break the spell in time, they would be in desperate situation.
Zheng Su said nothing, and quickly took out a transparent bead from his arms, with lightning and thunder inside.
He muttered something and poured all his spiritual power into it.
The wind and thunder bead suddenly emitted a dazzling light and turned into a flash of lightning, rushing straight towards the black airflow.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the black airflow was blown away and the soldiers immediately regained their ability to move.
"Quick, now! Retreat to the city walls!"
