The Blood Cloud Mountain was nearly a hundred miles high, and the round-shaped mountain was entirely red. The Blood Cloud Mountain stood in the middle of the mountain, and with its steep terrain, became the most important stronghold of the humankind's defensive line, which had a radius of nearly ten-thousand miles.
The Blood Cloud Mountain was hundreds of miles high, and was extremely steep. Not even a blade of grass could grow on the surrounding cliffs. A few extremely steep stone steps were dug out on the mountain, and were the only way to connect to the top and bottom of the mountain.
The mountaintop was flat and roughly round, with a diameter of nearly twenty miles. A large camp of the humankind was set up here, and tens of thousands of Senior Magi warriors had been guarding this place. With the help of the terrain, this camp seemed to be an impregnable fortress.
The human army had spent a great deal of effort on the Blood Cloud Mountain. They had excavated a great number of barracks and warehouses on the steep mountain, and had also set up an extremely powerful magic formation. The Blood Cloud Mountain was the most important and sturdiest magic formation core of this magic formation.
Looking from a distance, the Blood Cloud Mountain looked like a pair of long blades, and the mountains on both sides of the river had been shining with a blood-red light, resonating with the Blood Cloud Mountain, which was entirely red. The water of the river had been surging, and the sunlight had been shining on the surface of the river, making it look like countless dazzling beams of light. Even from a great distance away, one could sense a great sense of killing.
Tens of zhang in diameter metal plates had been swiftly flying in the air, and the eyes of Yu Clan warriors standing on those metal plates had been sparkling with a blood-red light, looking at the surrounding area of the Blood Cloud Mountain from hundreds of miles away.
As the Di Family had been ceaselessly sending troops to the Blood Cloud Mountain, more and more human armies had been gathering around the Blood Cloud Mountain. Normally, only twenty to thirty thousand human warriors were stationed in the camp on top of the Blood Cloud Mountain, but within the short span of two days, the scale of the camp on top of the mountain had increased by at least three times.
Other than the army stationed on top of the mountain, a row of simple wooden barracks had been built in the dense woods at the foot of the Blood Cloud Mountain. Every day, large numbers of people would come in and out of those barracks. A large field had been opened up in the woods, and large groups of human warriors had been practicing and fighting on it all day long. The heavy breaths of those warriors sounded like thunders, and could even be heard from hundreds of miles away.
Large groups of serpents and boas were faintly visible in the two great rivers that surrounded the Blood Cloud Mountain, and among them, silhouettes of flood dragons could be faintly seen. From time to time, dragon roars could be heard. Mounted on those boas were a large number of Northern Wasteland Senior Magi in black robes, all of them proud and arrogant.
On the mountains on both sides of the great river, large groups of flying battle beasts had been flying up and down ceaselessly. Countless archers from the Eastern Wasteland mounted on those flying beasts and flew all over the sky. Sometimes, some archers even drove their flying beasts and chased after those Yu Clan warriors who stood on those round plates. Both sides of the Eastern Wasteland and the Yu Clan warriors had been hovering in the air. Usually, even after half a day, the result of the battle wouldn't be decided.
A few hundred miles away from the Blood Cloud Peak, thirty-two Blood Moon Divine Towers were lined up in a row.
Every ten minutes, there would be a probing divine light shooting straight up into the sky from the Blood Moon Divine Tower, drawing an arc and falling in the direction of the Blood Cloud Peak. Before the probing divine light, which had left a long arc of light in the air, could land on the ground, two snow-white streams of sharp Qi soared into the sky from the rivers on both sides of the Blood Cloud Mountain, and fiercely collided with the probing divine light.
A series of clattering booms could be heard without an end. The probing divine light exploded, and countless thumb-sized blood-red spell symbols splashed out within the area with a radius of tens of miles. After those blood-red spell symbols exploded, a large number of twisted spell symbols suddenly lit up in the air, then quickly merged into the air.
The magic formation that was set up with the Blood Cloud Mountain as the eye of the magic formation was a permanent magic formation that was built on the defensive line of the humankind. A great amount of rare and precious materials were used to make the magic formation, and the magic formation was carefully built according to the surrounding terrain. A magic formation like this was like an iron wall. Under the probing divine light, this magic formation couldn't hide, therefore, the Di Family easily found out the existence of this magic formation.
However, it was easy to discover the existence of this great magic formation. In order to break this great magic formation, the Di Family had to either cut off and evaporate the two great rivers, which were hundreds of thousands of miles long and hundreds of miles wide, or flatten the Blood Cloud Mountain. Apart from these, no ordinary method could work on this magic formation at all.
"Yo hoo ~ yo hoo ~!"
Hundreds of non-humankind slaves, who had dark-brown skins and large patches of green spots on their skin, were yelling with weird voices. They were wearing ragged leather armors, carrying broken wooden shields and machetes and spears while rushing towards the Blood Cloud Mountain.
After rushing for over ten miles, they stepped into the coverage area of the Blood Cloud Mountain magic formation, which was discovered by the probing divine light just now.
The two rivers suddenly roared, and large numbers of drifting spell symbols suddenly lit up in the air. The watery mist in the air condensed into thousands of fist-sized, shining ice blades, swiftly descending along with an ear-piercing swishing noise.
Hundreds of non-humankind slaves howled out hoarsely. Those shining, especially sharp ice blades cut them into pieces. Broken limbs fell all over the ground, and blood ceaselessly seeped into the soil.
The soil covered by the magic formation was as greedy as a hungry ghost. The blood and flesh of those non-humankind slaves were quickly swallowed by the slowly squirming soil. An extremely faint stream of blood-red mist flashed across the surface of the Blood Cloud Mountain. When a fierce gale blew across the Blood Cloud Mountain, large amounts of blood-red light spots rose into the air, condensing into a faint blood-red cloud on the mountaintop!
As long as someone died within the coverage area of the Blood Cloud Mountain magic formation, a blood-red cloud would rise from the Blood Cloud Mountain. This was the origin of the name of the Blood Cloud Mountain.
"Hey ~ Ha ~ Hey ~ Ha ~"
Ji Hao was bare-chested, his entire body soaked in sweat. He carried a city-destroying demon crossbow on his shoulder, and carried it with great difficulty. Through the narrow path inside the Blood Cloud Mountain, he moved this especially heavy and deadly weapon into an arrow-room.
The four walls of the arrow room were reinforced with metal spell symbols. On the north wall, there was a narrow hole, which allowed arrows to be shot out.
Normally, a hundred archers were stationed in this arrow room. If any enemies attacked, they could freely shoot arrows out from the arrow room. The arrow-room was located tens of miles high from the ground. Arrows shot out from this height would have a great destructive power. In previous wars, countless non-humankind warriors had fallen under the rain of arrows from the Blood Cloud Mountain arrow-room.
But today, there were no archers in this arrow room. Instead, there was a city-destroying demon crossbow.
Not many people among the leaders of the allied human army knew about this city-destroying demon crossbow. Ji Hao and a few of Si Wen Ming's trusted subordinates had carried this damn heavy crossbow all the way to here with great difficulty.
The few of them moved the city-destroying demon crossbow while gasping quickly, adjusted it to the most suitable position, then pressed a large spell symbol on the shell of the crossbow. The city-destroying demon crossbow, which was shaped like a giant box, began to glow with a bright light. Six sharp anchors darted out of the crossbow, thudded heavily into the ground and firmly fixed the crossbow on the ground.
After gasping for a while, Ji Hao and the others quickly walked out and carried another city-destroying demon crossbow out from the storage room.
There were a total of forty city-destroying demon crossbows, and Ji Hao and the others had just set up twenty-three of them. Abruptly, a long and resonant horn came from the outside.
Muffled footsteps came along with puffs of dust. The Di Family's army had launched the first wave of attack.
