Chapter 175 Encountering the 'Ancient Troop' on the Road

After shouting these words, Xia Tao did not dare to stay in the village anymore, and strode out of the village following Liu Xiu.

And not long after they left, there were continuous explosions and screams from the direction of Xiaocun.

"Nah! This Gege is just a bunch of weaklings in the game! Why is this attack so powerful! It's almost like a mortar!" Looking back at the violent explosion in the village, Xia Tao couldn't help but feel I still have lingering fears, if he hadn't withdrawn with Liu Xiu, he would have been killed by those demons by now.

But the two of them were not safe for a long time, and soon the two demon sons chased them up from the air, and stopped them on a dirt road.

"go to hell!"

The two devil sons also knew that Liu Xiu and his skull beast were the most threatening to each other, so the first round of attack was launched against them. , stabbing fiercely at Liu Xiu and the skull beast under him.

Liu Xiu's reaction speed couldn't keep up with these two demons at all, so he could only hastily set up a bone shield in front of him to resist the opponent's attack.

And the skull beast under him raised its sharp claws and slapped fiercely at the steel fork stabbed by the demon.

After a bang, the bone shield in front of Liu Xiu was directly shattered, and then the demon's steel fork stabbed at Liu Xiu unabated. The speed was as fast as lightning, and Liu Xiu had no time to dodge.

At the critical moment, Xia Tao, who had always acted as a transparent person, rushed out from one side, then used the thrusting skill, and hit the devil's steel fork with the harpoon in his hand, causing the attack direction of the steel fork to shift. A little bit, and finally brushed against Liu Xiu's left shoulder.As a result, Xia Tao exhausted his last bit of energy and fell to the ground like a toad.

Liu Xiu looked at her right shoulder sleeve that was scratched, and was also angry in her heart, these demons really kicked their noses in the face!The reason why he retreated decisively before was because he knew that the opponent had reinforcements, but if it was just one or two demons, he was confident that he could still be killed by the large number of skeleton soldiers under him.

Under Liu Xiu's order, the skeleton soldiers immediately surrounded them, preparing to lay siege to the two demon sons.

However, these two demon sons were extremely cunning and did not bother with the skeleton soldiers at all. When they saw that they missed a hit, they flew into the sky again, so that Liu Xiu's skeleton soldiers could only watch each other do it. Stare.

Then, under the watchful eyes of Liu Xiu and Xia Tao, the two demon sons took out a compound bow obviously made of modern materials from somewhere, and shot at Liu Xiu and Xia Tao.

In order to resist these arrows, Liu Xiu had to let the skeleton soldiers stand in front of him as a shield.But in this way, the skeleton soldiers under him were consumed in vain. Seeing the skeleton soldiers under him being shot down one by one, Liu Xiu was a little anxious, but she didn't know what to do.He once tried to release bone spur magic to those two devil sons, but these two devil sons were extremely cunning. Once they found out that Liu Xiu was going to release magic, they would fly back and forth in the air quickly, making it impossible for Liu Xiu to lock on to this place at all. Two sons of demons.

And when the two devil sons were excitedly slaughtering the skeleton soldiers under Liu Xiu, two arrows flew out of the woods not far away almost at the same time, and hit the heads of the two devil sons precisely. , directly shot the two demon sons through the heads.

Surprised, Liu Xiu and Xia Tao turned their heads to look in the direction where the arrow flew out, but they found a well-equipped cold weapon troop coming out of the woods.All members of this army are wearing thick full-body plate armor, and their weapons are extremely complete, including swords for close combat and bows and crossbows for long-distance combat.The leader is riding a tall horse wearing a steel vest.

"Liu Xiu! These guys didn't come from ancient times, did they? Who still uses these cold weapons now!" Xia Tao asked his companion beside him in surprise.

But Liu Xiu denied his companion's conjecture. He reminded Xia Tao: "Probably not, look at the logo on the armor of these guys, it seems to be the logo of a shop in the city that specializes in imitating ancient weapons!"

At the same time, the group on the opposite side also had a large number of Liu Xiu and Xia Tao, and soon the leader lifted off his helmet visor, revealing a face as young as Liu Xiu and the others, smiling at the two The man said: "Don't be afraid, two children, you are safe now, follow us back to the castle!"

"You're just a kid! I don't think you're much older than the two of us!" Xia Tao was immediately unhappy when he heard the other party's address, and started to rant back.

"Haha! You little spearman has quite a temper, but this young master won't be as knowledgeable as you!"

Hearing the other party talk about his cheating professional inheritance, Xia Tao suddenly looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and asked the other party viciously: "What's wrong with the labor and capital gunmen, the gunmen eat your house?" White rice? Didn’t you just get lucky enough to get a knight job! Compared with my brother’s necromancer apprentice, the potential is far worse!”

"No! No! You are wrong! What I got was not a knight profession. I bought these equipments early in the morning. The professional inheritance I got is an archer!"

"Haha! Archer, you bastard...!"

When Xia Tao heard that the other party revealed that the professional inheritance he obtained was actually an archer, a low-level soldier who was not much better than himself, he immediately prepared to mock this arrogant boy like Liu Xiu mocked him before.But before he finished speaking, Liu Xiu who was on the side quickly covered his mouth.

The reason Liu Xiu did this was because he sensed that the other party was extremely powerful, even several times stronger than the two demons just now. He was completely untouchable by them. He was afraid that Xia Tao would anger others if he continued to mock like this. At that time, they are likely to be killed by others.After all, the demons have invaded and forbidden curses have washed away the land, and they are already in complete chaos. Even if the other party really kills them, it is estimated that no one will hold the other party accountable.

While the two parties were bickering, the group of demons had already killed everyone in the village and chased after them.

"Kill them!" The leading boy looked at the chasing demons and immediately ordered to his men.

Following his order, the dozens of well-equipped men under him immediately changed into a battle formation, among which those melee soldiers holding swords and shields and carrying javelins were at the forefront, and those crossbowmen were at the front. In the rear, everyone drew their bows and nocked arrows, preparing to shoot.

The demons were a little stunned when they saw such a well-equipped human army appearing here. Then, before they could recover, the human crossbowmen shot deadly arrows at them.These crossbows are made of modern materials and are very powerful. In the hands of these professional soldiers and mercenaries, their power was fully demonstrated. With a round of volley, most of the demons were shot over on the spot. , only the two semi-formed horned demons with rough skin and thick flesh were still barely standing.

"javelin!"

Amidst the boy's roar, those melee soldiers with swords and shields strode forward to the two half-formed horned demons who were still stubbornly standing upright, and threw the javelins in their hands towards them fiercely.

The strength of this javelin is much stronger than that of a bow and crossbow. Under such a close-range attack, the two half-formed horned demons were impaled into hedgehogs, screaming and flying upside down. Completely out of breath.

"So strong! Are these guys real soldiers?" Xia Tao couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw how easily these demons were dealt with by them.

And the young general who was the leader also heard Xia Tao's exclamation, and couldn't help showing a smug look on his face, and replied with a smile: "Almost! Most of my subordinates are elite veterans dug from those reconnaissance companies soldiers, and there are also some foreign mercenaries!”

Hearing the boy's explanation, Xia Tao and Liu Xiu became more and more afraid to be presumptuous in front of each other. After all, this is an army composed of real professional soldiers!The fighting power is definitely very strong, which can be seen from the fact that the opponent has just easily eliminated this team of demons.

And because they knew the strength of the other party, the two did not resist after that, and obediently followed each other back to the castle.

"I'm going! I thought they were just kidding! Who knew they were serious, and actually built a castle in this wilderness! Could it be that they all have the ability to predict and know that demons are about to invade, so in advance Such a castle was built here!" After arriving at the destination and seeing the castle in the other party's mouth, Xia Tao couldn't help exclaiming, after all, in modern society, it is too big for such a large-scale castle to appear. It was against the rules. In his impression, except for those film and television cities, such ancient buildings could no longer be found in other places.

It can be seen that in addition to the two of them, some other rescued civilians have also been escorted to the castle. At this time, these civilians are also looking at this place as curiously as Liu Xiu and Xia Tao. A castle.

This castle was naturally built by Shi Aimin, and those troops who went out to save people were naturally led by his young students. This is all he can do now, try to save some nearby human survivor.

At this time, Shi Aimin was explaining the current situation to Zhang Xiaoqing, who was still in shock. At this time, there was no need for him to hide anything from the other party.

Zhang Xiaoqing was speechless for half a minute after listening to Shi Aimin's explanation.She really didn't expect that this matter would be so complicated, and even related to gods who only existed in legends in the past.

When Shi Aimin saw the other party's appearance, he didn't bother him, and chose to let the other party slowly digest the news, while he came outside and began to visit the rescued refugees. Many of them were affected. After diagnosing the wounded, Shi Aimin took out some pills to heal the refugees.

Fortunately, these refugees are just ordinary people, so the healing pills only need to be of the lowest grade. If a gold elixir master like him is injured, the healing pills that need to be used are extremely precious. I don't have many in hand now.

In the process of healing these refugees, Shi Aimin heard another piece of news, which was obtained from a former urban management captain.

The urban management captain happened to be leading a group of men to drive away a group of peddlers who were illegally occupying land. During the chase, the demon's forbidden curse fell, and he and a group of men jumped into a nearby artificial road in a hurry. hide in the river.As a result, even so, after the explosion, several city management officers were scalded to death by the scalding river water, and the captain of the city management team was also scalded in many places. If he hadn't had a relatively tenacious vitality, he might not have survived until Shi Aimin The rescue of the students under his command.

And according to the urban management team member, just before he left the city center, he seemed to see a group of demons teleported directly to the original city hall, and then began to build a black minaret there.

After Shi Aimin heard the news, he immediately became vigilant. After handing over the task of healing the refugees to his apprentice Ye Tianlong, he quickly returned to his room and took out a small book that recorded various knowledge about demons. books.Naturally, he got these things from his wife, so in order to avoid forgetting, he wrote them all down in this little book.

He just felt that the black spire seemed to have been heard of before, and now he searched a little bit, and he found the record about the black spire.It turns out that this spire is called the Soul Gathering Tower, and its function is to automatically absorb the souls of intelligent creatures that die within a radius of [-] kilometers into the tower for storage.And it will also absorb the free dark energy in the air, slowly transform the surrounding environment, and finally transform it into the same environment as the abyss demon world.In this environment, the demons will definitely feel like a fish in water, and their combat power will increase greatly.On the contrary, the human side will certainly be greatly restrained.

"We must not let those demons build this soul-gathering tower!" After figuring out what this thing is for, Shi Aimin immediately made this decision.

Then, without calling anyone, he put on the Tianshi armor and rushed towards the ruins of Y City alone.

At this time, in the downtown area of ​​City Y, thousands of demons are busy here, piles of building materials prepared in advance were moved by those coolie devil boys, and hundreds of powerful middle-level demons It is releasing magic power on the side, carefully enchanting the towers that have been built.There must be no mistakes in this step, because once a mistake is made, the final effect may be the opposite of the original one, causing huge damage to the demons.So it's not up to these demons to be careless.
