"This elephant … is really big!" Ren Baqian muttered to himself as he looked at the giant elephants that were rushing over from a distance.
They were more than six meters tall and looked like a two-story building when they stood there.
Two of these elephants were pushing over as if a building was pushing over, not to mention their three-meter-long tusks, which were full of deterrence.
Moreover, this elephant's body was covered in rattan armor. Almost everything above the knee was wrapped in rattan armor. Even the elephant's trunk was covered with rings of rattan.
On the back of each elephant sat a person wearing a brightly-colored feather cloak. There were both men and women.
Ren Baqian looked from afar and saw that these two elephants weren't the only ones. It was just that these two elephants were in front like a wall that was pushing over, making it easy for people to overlook the fact that there were two similar elephants behind them.
Ren Baqian took out two flash bombs from his bag, weighed them in his hand, estimated the distance, pulled out the rings, and threw them forward.
Although it was daytime, the flash bombs were still quite powerful and could cause quite a lot of noise.
The rattan armor on the elephant soldiers could block swords, but it couldn't stop the flash bombs from blinding and deafening the elephants.
Even if a human was hit by a flash bomb, they would inevitably panic, let alone an animal. It was enough as long as the elephant soldiers couldn't distinguish the direction and run around.
"Lower your head and close your eyes!" Ren Baqian shouted as he threw the flash bombs.
"Be careful, Sir!" Ren Baqian heard the shout behind him just as he lowered his head. He didn't have time to think and took advantage of the situation to fall back. An arrow flew over him with a strong gust of wind.
He saw a man standing on the elephant with a bow and arrow in his hand, still maintaining his shooting posture.
In the next second, his eyes lit up and then turned black.
The loud noise made him dizzy and lose his five senses. He was shocked and didn't know what was going on.
Along with him, the two giant elephants and the controllers on their backs were blinded by the two flash bombs that were thrown one after another.
The giant elephants were shocked, let out a long howl, and immediately braked before running to both sides in panic.
Then, the two giant elephants at the back were revealed. On top of them was a monkey with long reddish-brown hair and a few Spirit Wheel experts sitting cross-legged.
Monkey first grimaced in pain and scratched his ears and cheeks. Then, he let out a strange cry and leaped high into the air with the other martial artists, pouncing towards the crowd.
"You've got guts, daring to come and intercept us. You've made me think highly of you. But since you're here, just stay here. You're going to die sooner or later anyway. The scenery here is picturesque. It's a good place to bury you. " Xi Wanya laughed heartily and blocked Monkey with his long saber while Qing Ping and Zong Shen blocked the other Spirit Wheel experts.
As the monkey and the Spirit Wheel experts fought, they lured the three of them to a distant place. Xi Wanya and the others also fell into their trap and followed them.
"Be careful of the surrounding forest and see if there are any monkeys!" Ren Baqian shouted as he grabbed two flash grenades in his hands.
The Insect Soldiers and Elephant Soldiers of the Six Doors had appeared, so would the Monkey Soldiers be far away?
At this moment, Ren Baqian had completely figured out the other party's plan.
First, they attacked with poisonous insects, forcing everyone onto the main road. They couldn't escape into the bushes and woods on both sides. Then, a few giant elephants pushed over like a wall. At the same time, they used experts to restrain Xi Wanya and the others.
Even if the Elephant Soldiers caused some casualties and confusion in the army, they couldn't cause too many casualties. After all, there were too few of them.
The road was too narrow, and only two elephants could pass in front. If they died, they would block the path of the elephants behind.
Therefore, only four elephants were used to create confusion and attract attention.
At this time, a real weapon was needed to cause casualties to the army and achieve their goal.
"There are a lot of monkeys in the trees on both sides!"
"Be careful!"
When Ren Baqian heard the sound of something piercing through the air, goosebumps appeared all over his body. He hurriedly flipped off the fork-horned cow and landed on the ground. After a few spluttering sounds, the fork-horned cow let out a blood-curdling shriek and fell to the ground.
Ren Baqian looked around and saw bone spears shooting out from the forest.
Looking into the forest, he saw a few monkeys with short brown fur, about half the height of a human, appearing on the branches. Each of them had a few bone spears tied to their backs, and they were throwing them down as they jumped on the trees.
Ren Baqian didn't know what species these monkeys were, but they were extremely strong. The bone spears they threw could directly penetrate the fork-horned cow from dozens of meters away, and even one-third of the spears were embedded in the soil.
"As expected!" Ren Baqian understood and threw two flash bombs in front of the elephants. He then pulled over the backpack that was hanging on the fork-horned cow, took out a handful of flash bombs, and threw them to the guards at the side. "Throw them into the forest!"
More than twenty flash bombs were thrown out, blinding all the monkeys in the forest. One by one, they lost their balance and fell from the trees while squeaking. The rest of the monkeys were also shocked and quickly ran away while squeaking.
"Captain Gong, don't let the winged cavalry enter the forest. Use bone spears!" Ren Baqian shouted.
The bone spears that the monkeys threw were shot back at their original owners, piercing the blinded monkeys to the ground.
Ren Baqian quickly rushed to the front of the empress's carriage and saw that there were many broken bone spears that were made by the guards.
Ren Baqian raised his voice and asked, "Your Majesty, are you alarmed?"
Hong Luan pulled the curtain aside and saw the empress lying in a reclining position with a wine cup in front of her eyes. The sunlight shone on the cup, forming a lifelike phoenix on the wall.
The empress looked down at Ren Baqian and said, "How could anything happen to me in such a situation? Go and do what you need to do. "
There was some appreciation and joy in her eyes.
Ren Baqian was no longer the weak chicken that needed protection and couldn't even truss a chicken.
He had begun to be able to take charge.
"Yes!" Ren Baqian replied. He naturally knew that nothing would happen to the empress, but he still had to show the proper attitude.
Ren Baqian then asked his men to do a headcount and found that there were very few casualties.
Although these monkey soldiers were pretty strong, they were only a lot stronger than ordinary people and were far from the strength of a Man Wheel expert.
If the troops were in chaos, they could still take advantage of the situation. However, the poisonous insects were reminded by someone, and the elephants were dealt with with a few flash bombs. Ren Baqian reminded them that the monkeys were facing an intact army.
Following which, a large number of them were blinded by the flash bombs, and the rest fled. There seemed to be a lot of bone spears, but only a dozen or so unlucky fellows were pierced by the spears. There were also some abrasions, but they didn't suffer too much damage.
After understanding the situation, Xi Wanya and the others returned one after another.
"Damn, they ran so fast!" Qing Ping cursed.
"None of them survived?" Ren Baqian asked casually. He looked at the three of them and found that they didn't have any injuries.
"That giant snake from last time was also there, and I was almost bitten!" Zong Shen said.
"It was Mangshan!" Ren Baqian corrected Lin Qiaole since she wasn't around.
"Haha, that girl!" Upon hearing this, the others also thought of Lin Qiaole and burst out laughing.
"Protector General Xi, Her Majesty said that it's time to set off!" Hong Luan landed beside them in a flash and said in a crisp voice.
After walking for more than two hours, everyone arrived near a hill.
"Sir, there are traces of elephant soldiers. There are at least 200 of them!" a baihu came up to report.
Ren Baqian followed the baihu to the back of the hill and saw a large area of messy footprints. It seemed that they had stayed here not long ago and were ready to launch a surprise attack when everyone arrived nearby.
However, the army in the forest was almost unscathed, so these elephant soldiers had no choice but to retreat.
Ren Baqian looked at the traces and pondered.
This kind of elephant was huge and powerful. If 100 or 200 of them were to charge at the same time, it would be like a collapsing mountain.
If the two armies were to confront each other, with these elephant soldiers as the vanguard and the main army following behind, the aboriginals would suffer heavy losses even if they won.
Fortunately, he had a lot of flash bombs on hand, which were enough to restrain these elephants.
However, after eliminating the Six Doors in the future, he would have to get his hands on their method of nurturing elephant soldiers.
