Only after a rough look, Zhang Tie had determined that the total population of demon corps around Xiangshan City was definitely over 2 million. These demon corps were at least LV 9 fighters. Compared to such a lineup, the 100,000 demon corps in Waii Subcontinent was dwarfed.
The encampment of demon corps was in Xiangshan City. Looking from afar, Zhang Tie could see a lot of demon knights flying up and down in a region of Xiangshan City. In the periphery of this demon corps, over 100 wing demon knights were patrolling in the sky. Some demon knights were garrisoning inside the demon corps. On the ground, spider demons in the periphery were moving rapidly on the ground like scouts. The entire encampment of the demon corps was covered with scouts and knights of demon corps. Even human knights could barely invade the encampment of the demon corps.
Of course, the little black beetle that Zhang Tie incarnated could freely enter and exit the encampment of demons.
After applying a master-level hiding rune, the little black beetle's incarnation almost integrated into the night when it flew silently. Even in the knight's sense, it was almost like a piece of lifeless dust.
Zhang Tie directly flew towards Xiangshan City from over 100 m high above the ground over the heads and tents of demon fighters.
Not knowing why, at the sight of Xiangshan City, Zhang Tie couldn't stand recalling that old man who refused to leave Xiangshan City. Therefore, he wanted to take a look there.
Only after a short while, Zhang Tie had arrived at the street where the only ancient well in Xiangshan City was located. Many houses on this street had been demolished. A lot of iron-armored demons were garrisoning in the city. When Zhang Tie arrived at the courtyard where the old man stayed a few months ago, he found that the courtyard and the neighboring mansions had already been burnt black.
Although Zhang Tie knew that the old man had made up his mind to stay in Xiangshan City, he still felt a bit sad when he recalled the scene that the old man committed suicide by burning his hometown at the last moment when demons arrived at Xiangshan City.
For some people, this war was just some changing figures. How many cities had Taixia Country lost? How many people had sacrificed? How many civilians had been killed? However, behind each figure were numerous commoners' blood and tears.
A strong killing intent rose in Zhang Tie's heart.
With a boom, when Zhang Tie was hovering above the burnt ruins, he heard a boom from his back, which attracted his attention at once.
The sound drifted from the direction of that ancient well. Zhang Tie then turned around and flew over there.
Under the command of an iron-armored demon officer, a team of iron-armored demons was demolishing a building on one side of the ancient well. After that, they lifted a 2-m higher rockery out of the building and threw it into the ancient well forcefully, sealing it.
The ancient well in Xiangshan City was not covered by the army of Taixia Country; instead, it was covered by demons.
The officer of the Devil Race shouted loudly in the language of the Devil Race and passed down some orders.
To be honest, Zhang Tie couldn't understand demon language. After promoting to a knight, he only touched it occasionally. Additionally, he didn't study it hard. Therefore, he could only understand some words in demon language. However, he still couldn't make coherent sentences.
Take the current situation as an instance, Zhang Tie could only understand some words from the demon officer's mouth, such as "only", "problem", "forbidden to drink", "new water tank" …
Compared to the difficulty for humans to learn demon language, demons had a simpler way to learn human language — — eating human brains. Demons had a special ability. As long as a demon knight ate a commoner's brain, he or she would master that person's language ability. This ability was very terrifying. Given this point, all the demon knights who could speak human language could basically be determined that they had eaten humans.
Although Zhang Tie didn't fully understand the demon officer's words, given the current situation, Zhang Tie could almost guess it — — when the demon corps in Xiangshan City saw the only ancient well in Xiangshan City, they were afraid that the army of Taixia Country might do something to this ancient well. Therefore, they directly covered it up and forbade demon fighters to draw water from here. As over 2 million demons were in the surroundings of Xiangshan City, of course, they had to drink water. If they wanted to drink water, they could only open a new water tank.
Zhang Tie instantly recalled those water pools which were guarded by demon fighters on the way here. Those water pools were completely caused by knights' strikes. After being bombarded by powerful knights, they formed huge pits as deep as 10-20 m on the ground. After that, demon fighters casually dug and dealt with them. This was the most convenient way for demon corps to fetch water.
'Water tank!'
Zhang Tie's mind raced. In a split second, the fierce killing intent in Zhang Tie's heart disappeared as he suddenly thought of a method.
As long as demons could drink water, it would be easy for them.
Because Zhang Tie had four fat and strong double-headed parent puppet worms in Castle of Black Iron. The four double-headed parent puppet worms were gained in Pingsha Valley, Longxi Prefecture, Zhongzhou Province. Since he gained the four double-headed parent puppet worms, Zhang Tie had not used them. The massive eggs that the four double-headed parent puppet worms laid every day were kept in Castle of Black Iron for research.
As long as Zhang Tie stealthily put the eggs of the double-headed parent puppet worms into those water tanks of the demon corps, he would be able to kill a lot of demon fighters easily.
Of course, it was almost impossible for others to do such a trick. However, Zhang Tie could easily do it with the combination of the incarnation of the little beetle and Castle of Black Iron. Those who had grasped the secret skill of incarnation of the "Great Wilderness Sutra" or Castle of Black Iron couldn't do it. He had to combine the two skills to exert a great power.
As he thought about it, Zhang Tie directly flew towards the nearest water tank.
The water tank of the demon corps was over 200 m away. The powerful knights caused a huge pit whose diameter was over 30 m and whose depth was over 10 m. At the bottom of the huge pit, a water tank was built.
Torches were lit around the water tank. Over 10 iron-armored demons were standing on sentry duty with their backs facing the water tank. Nobody was allowed to approach the water tank. Demons might be afraid that humans might poison their drinking water; therefore, they assigned people to watch over the water tank of the demon corps.
A human water pipe was deep in the intake pool. Some demon fighters were rocking a common manual water pump above it and constantly pumping water from the intake pool into a water trough above it.
Teams of demon fighters were queuing up around the cistern to draw water. There were two fish in the cistern. This was the simplest and most reliable method to check the water quality in the war. If the water quality was fine and had not been poisoned, the fish in the cistern would not have any problem.
The fish in the tank would respond to the poison in the water; however, they would not respond to the eggs of the parent puppet worm. Even demons might not have imagined that they could be poisoned by the eggs of the parent puppet worm one day.
Soon after Zhang Tie arrived there, some demon fighters who were fetching water near the cistern had almost started a fight with each other due to queuing up to fetch water, causing a bit uproar. A demon commissioned officer on one side rushed forward with a whip. After roaring twice, he ferociously whipped those demon fighters, causing their skin and flesh to break. Not until then did the uproar come to a stop. Those demon fighters then continued to fetch water.
However, even demons might not have imagined that someone could give them an unforgettable lesson in the water tank tonight.
The little black beetle easily descended from the sky and landed at the bottom of the water tank.
When the little black beetle landed at the bottom of the water tank, its body became a transmission channel that connected to Castle of Black Iron. Closely after that, the little black beetle released a transparent viscous liquid from Castle of Black Iron into the water.
The transparent viscous liquid was the eggs of the double-headed parent puppet worm in Castle of Black Iron. Each drop of the liquid contained tens of thousands of tiny eggs.
In less than 1 minute, the water in this water tank had been covered with numerous eggs of the double-headed parent puppet worm. Closely after that, the little black beetle flew out of the bottom of the water tank and continued to fly towards another water tank.
Above the water tank, those demon fighters who were rocking the hand-operated pump and those demon fighters who were on sentry duty didn't notice that the water in the water tank was still being pumped into the water tank above. The two fish were still vivid in the water tank. Teams of iron-armored demons were still queuing up to draw water. Many iron-armored demons started to drink water at the edge of the water tank. Even those demon corps who had whipped those demon fighters just now directly walked to the edge of the water tank and had a few mouthfuls of water as if they were thirsty. When this officer finished drinking water, the little black beetle had already landed at the bottom of the second water tank and released a lot of eggs of the parent puppet worm into the water like before …
Then, he released the 3rd, the 4th, the 5th, the 6th …
Parent puppet worm was a special war tool of demons. Demons didn't use it on humans until the end of the last holy war. Although this holy war broke out for a few years, demons and Three-eye Association had already caused a lot of demon disasters and terrors in continents and subcontinents using parent puppet worms. Even demons themselves might not have imagined that they could be attacked by parent puppet worms one day. To be honest, demons didn't prepare for such a strike at all …
This retribution came too quickly.
