The dense forest started to collapse, forcefully opening up a path filled with smoke and dust.
The beasts that were slower were directly killed by the violent demonic aura.
The birds that were lagging behind fell from the sky.
Even more birds and beasts rushed past Qingye City like a tide, scrambling to escape into the distance in fear. Not only outside the city, but inside the city, some of the less intelligent spirit beasts and livestock were also frightened by the aura of the beasts and fled, joining the fleeing army outside the city. Only some of the more intelligent and stronger spirit beasts barely managed to stay on the city wall under the comfort of their masters. However, it was impossible for them to leave the city and fight the beasts head on!
"Activate the City Defense Formation!" Shi Huzi could only hope that the formation set up by his sect was powerful enough to defend against the beasts.
"Yes!" More than ten elite disciples led the outer disciples to occupy the four directions of the formation.
Activate the Heaven and Earth Qi.
Gather at the heart of the formation.
Then, using the defensive artifacts that the seniors in the sect had long refined, they activated a golden round city-defense formation, covering the entire Qingye City within it.
The formation could only cover the main city of Qingye City. Outside the city, the gardens, the scenic spots, and other places could only be abandoned. Even so, it was definitely not the way to defend for long. That was because the Grand Defensive Array could only last for six hours at most. The longer it lasted, the weaker the golden barrier's defensive power would be. After ten hours, even if no enemies attacked, the golden barrier's energy would run out and it would automatically disappear. The next time the formation would recover would be a month later. It was impossible to wait until then.
It would be fine if the beasts did not attack, but if they went berserk and attacked fiercely.
They might not even be able to last for six hours.
"Send more people over to support. If anyone can't hold on, rotate them. On top of the city wall, form the Six Void Sword Formation. Without my command, no one is allowed to attack, and no one is allowed to leave the round shield to fight! "Shi Huzi knew that with the standard of his disciples, if they forced themselves to fight, it would be like sending food to the beasts.
"Roar! Roar! "
As the billowing smoke and dust gradually settled.
The black beast inside finally revealed its true appearance.
It had the head of a dog and the horns of a rhinoceros. It had huge eyes and sharp fangs. Its sharp claws were burning with raging flames, and its long blood-red tongue was dripping with poisonous saliva that corroded the earth.
The black fur was like needles. On its back, there were two rows of sharp spikes that looked like bone spears and blades. On the joints of the fierce beast's legs, there were also barbs that were similarly curved like blades. In the darkness, there was a strange bloody light …
"It's a Unihorn Demonic Mastiff!" After the Green Leaf Sect disciples on the city saw it clearly, they emitted waves of exclamations of surprise, and fear appeared on their faces.
"It's actually this kind of Vicious Beast!" Lin Dong naturally recognized the Single-Horned Demon Mastiff.
This ferocious beast.
He had met and fought with them before.
If not for the Martial Madman, the entire treasure hunting team would have been devoured by the Demonic Unihorn Mastiff.
The Single-Horned Demon Mastiff was not the strongest Vicious Beast that Lin Dong had ever encountered. When it came to Vicious Beasts, there were simply too many that were stronger than the Single-Horned Demon Mastiff. However, when it came to being cunning and suspicious, there were very few beasts that could compare to the One-Horned Demon Mastiff, who was born greedy and had extraordinary intelligence. Among the many Vicious Beasts, the One-Horned Demon Mastiff was also one of the few Vicious Beasts that lived in groups.
Usually, they did not necessarily live together, but when two One-Horned Demon Mastiffs encountered each other.
They would not fight with each other like other Vicious Beasts.
They would compete with each other.
Instead, they would cooperate with each other.
They would test each other to see if they could live together.
Even if they could not live together, they would get along happily for a period of time. Through the power of the group, they would hunt more prey.
In addition, the One-Horned Demon Mastiff also had a very terrifying ability, and that was transformation. They would accumulate the power that they usually absorbed from their prey and store it in the depths of the Neidan in their abdomen. Cultivators without special magic eyes would not be able to see through their true strength. When the target was large, or when they encountered a strong enemy, they would erupt the energy accumulated in the depths of their Neidan, turning into a behemoth that was at least ten times larger.
Through transformation and eruption.
The One-Horned Demon Mastiff could often launch surprise attacks and heavily injure enemies that were stronger than it and hunt larger targets.
Before Lin Dong entered the Nine Hells Forbidden Grounds, he was once ambushed by the One-Horned Demon Mastiff and almost lost his life on the spot. Fortunately, the beauty Ling Xiao saved him in time, and the Martial Madman desperately held onto the One-Horned Demon Mastiff's tail, allowing him to narrowly escape …
"Not simple! When it awakened, it dyed half the sky blood red, and its Demonic Qi was still so strong even after concealing its aura. This proves that it is an old demon. "Lin Dong carefully estimated in his heart," Three thousand years old, hmm, maybe five thousand years old demon! On the surface, it is disguised as a young Vicious Beast that is less than a thousand years old, but in reality, it is a hundred percent old! "
"Close to six zhang tall, according to its size, it is a thousand year Vicious Beast!" On top of the city wall, a protector of a merchant group from another sect could not help but exclaim.
"A thousand year Vicious Beast?" There was an uproar on top of the city wall.
"Calm down!" Shi Huzi already knew that it was a One-Horned Demon Mastiff that was close to a thousand years old. Even if it wasn't, it should be close. After he came back, he did not say anything because he was afraid that if he said it, the people would panic and no one would dare to stay behind to defend the city. Now that the disciples had seen it, there was no way to retreat. If he did not do this, he reckoned that more than half of the disciples on top of the city wall would run away in fright. As for the people from the other sects, not a single one would be left. "We have no way out. For the old, weak, women and children who have not gone far, for the Qingye City that we built with our own hands, we must fight this One-Horned Demon Mastiff to the end! Everyone, do not panic. This Vicious Beast has just awakened from a deep slumber. Although it is close to a thousand years old, its power is not even half of its peak. As long as we can withstand the first few waves of attacks, it will retreat! We have the City Defense Array and the Six Skies Sword Array, which complement each other. We will definitely be able to win! "
Shi Huzi encouraged the disciples loudly, and with some difficulty, their morale was restored.
Actually, his words were not only for the disciples of his sect to hear, but also to intimidate and advise the other sects. If they worked together, then after defending the city, Qingye City would definitely reward them handsomely. If they were to cause trouble at the last minute, the Six Skies Sword Formation of Qingye Sect was not to be trifled with!
While saying this, Shi Huzi's gaze was still on Lin Dong. At the same time, he hinted to the disciples beside him to pay attention to Lin Dong's every move.
This was because the person he suspected the most was Lin Dong, the foreign cultivator who "happened to pass by".
That One-Horned Demon Mastiff.
Facing the golden round cover, it circled a few times.
Tentatively, it spat out a ball of pitch-black Demonic Qi.
The Demonic Qi was like ink, and it flew towards the huge golden round cover like a cannonball, causing a terrifying impact. The people on top of the city wall felt a fishy wind blowing on their faces. Their faces felt like they were being cut by knives, and they could not see anything.
Fortunately, the City Defense Array was very powerful. In an instant, the golden light shone brightly, and the black Demonic Qi was successfully neutralized.
After the strong wind blew.
The golden round cover was still as good as before.
Seeing that the City Defense Array was so effective, the disciples of the Liukong Green Leaf Sect couldn't help but cheer thunderously, and their morale soared.
"Defend! Everyone, defend the spell formation! If there's anyone who's tired, immediately replace them. We have to ensure that the City Defense Array is always full of True Qi. " Shi Huzi really wanted to be the eye of the array and take charge of the City Defense Array, but there were cultivators from other sects and forces on top of the city wall. If there was an enemy traitor lying in ambush, and if there were no elders guarding the city wall, the disciples would definitely suffer heavy casualties, and the Liukong Sword Array might completely collapse.
Shi Huzi was burning with anxiety, but he couldn't split himself. He could only hope that the beasts would quickly retreat, and the people of Liukong Green Leaf Sect would avoid a great disaster.
The One-Horned Demon Mastiff wasn't anxious.
It had finished testing.
It slowly circled the golden round cover, as if it was trying to find an opening that it could break through.
Shi Huzi cursed in his heart, but he had no choice but to lead the disciples on top of the city wall.
"Who's that?"
"Someone's outside the city!"
"So fast, is that our reinforcements?"
Outside the city, a dark figure suddenly shot over at high speed, heading straight for the One-Horned Demon Mastiff. At first, the disciples on top of the city wall thought it was reinforcements, and they were all pleasantly surprised. But who would've thought that the dark figure didn't directly fight the One-Horned Demon Mastiff. Instead, when the beast roared in anger, it slowly threw out an item, and then used a spell to flash away, using Fulgurating Shadows to teleport away.
Lin Dong saw it clearly.
It was the inner core of a Scarlet Bull Behemoth.
The Scarlet Bull Behemoth looked a bit like an ox, with four horns, and a blood-red body. Its fur was extremely long, and it had a gentle and kind personality. Although it lived on the grassland, it didn't have any hostility towards other creatures, including humans. Sometimes, this kind Scarlet Bull Behemoth would even protect the weak. Often, injured cubs would run to the belly of the Scarlet Bull Behemoth when they were chased by their natural enemies, or when they were separated from their parents. The Scarlet Bull Behemoth would often treat them as its juniors, and give them strong protection.
Righteous cultivators rarely killed the Scarlet Bull Behemoth.
They believed that the Scarlet Bull Behemoth understood human nature.
It was a kind spirit beast.
The Scarlet Bull Behemoth.
Normally, it would only form an inner core in its belly after living for five hundred years. Compared to other spirit beasts, it was much slower to form an inner core.
However, the inner core of the Scarlet Bull Behemoth was also relatively big. A normal spirit beast's inner core was as big as a fist, but the inner core of the Scarlet Bull Behemoth was as big as a basketball, and the energy stored inside was also much bigger than a normal inner core.
"That's the inner core of the Scarlet Bull Behemoth. Not good, it's purposely making the beast go berserk!" Shi Huzi reacted, and his face turned pale.
The inner core of the Scarlet Bull Behemoth had a very strong fire energy.
It was like blood boiling.
If it was eaten directly without refining, the spirit beast would easily lose control due to the hot breath.
Spirit beasts would lose control after eating it, not to mention fierce beasts. Once the delicious inner core of the Scarlet Bull Behemoth entered its stomach, it would definitely go crazy, and its bloodthirsty nature would be unstoppable …
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
After the One-Horned Demon Mastiff swallowed the inner core of the Scarlet Bull Behemoth, it enjoyed it for a while, and its blood-red killing intent slowly emerged.
Its eyes gradually lost its rationality.
It waited for it to lower its head.
After a series of strange gurgling sounds, when it raised its head again, its demeanor had completely turned into that of a bloodthirsty, violent, and mindless beast. The Six Void Sword Array and the golden round cover of the city-guarding array set up by the cultivators on top of the city wall could no longer intimidate it. In its eyes, there was only food to hunt, only hunger, and the desire to kill that urgently needed to be satisfied!
