Volume 1: Rebellion in Chang'an Chapter 114: Torrent
…
A silver-grey light flashed, and the vague figure of the Western Rat King appeared in front of the Yinhu team.
"Lu Qingshan, your demon pet is quite magical. Not only can it speak human language before it transforms, but it can also walk freely in Zhenjiang City full of magical beasts..." Xiao Zhi couldn't help but marvel at it.
Lu Qingshan chuckled and did not comment.
After advancing to the second-grade demon beast, the Western Rat King not only awakened new talents, but also enhanced his original abilities.
Once he uses his enhanced sneaky talent, the Western Rat King will hardly be detected by the monsters in Zhenjiang City as long as he does not actively attack.
Most importantly, one of the newly awakened talents of the Western Rat King actually enables it to keenly sense the spiritual creatures around it that are beneficial to the evolution of its own bloodline.
This kind of perception cannot be blocked by formations or talismans because it is an instinct that comes from the blood.
The blood-red crystals in the Shura Blood Transformation Array are exactly this kind of spiritual objects.
This is undoubtedly great news for the Yinhu Squad.
Naturally, the King of Western Rat became an important member of the Tiger Team in this operation with his unique abilities.
The King of Western Rat glanced at Lu Qingshan, shook his head and said to everyone, "No."
It did not sense the existence of the Shura Blood Transformation Array point nearby.
Lu Qingshan frowned, "It seems that the second mission target is not a cultivator from the underworld."
"After all, this is just intelligence that was hastily sorted out, so it is inevitable that there will be some mistakes. Without further ado, we should quickly head to the third target!"
Xu Hao looked up at the barrier that had been weakened a bit and said, "It seems that the operations of the other teams are also progressing smoothly."
Lu Qingshan did not respond. He had a vague feeling that things would not be that simple.
Since the underworld would launch the corpse puppet rebellion in advance, how could it not make timely adjustments and respond when faced with the situation where the Shura Blood Transformation Array points were constantly destroyed?
"Why are there so many demonic birds gathered there?" Li Zu suddenly spoke, interrupting Lu Qingshan's thoughts.
Lu Qingshan looked up and saw flocks of demonic birds gathering in the sky not far away.
"What is that place?!" Lu Qingshan was shocked.
Because he had been to the place where the demonic birds gathered.
…
…
puff!
The black-feathered eagle's claws, shining with metallic luster, were like sharp iron hooks, easily piercing the flesh and bones of the monkey-faced demon crow and turning its heart into a pool of meat paste.
hiss!
With another flap of its wings, like a blade passing by, the several magic crows around it were immediately cut into pieces by the black-feathered eagle.
One after another, the magic crows fell from the sky.
The ground was already covered with bloody corpses of monkey-faced crows.
But even though so many magic crows have been killed, the number of magic crows in the sky still shows no sign of decreasing.
What's even more terrifying is that the Black-Feathered Eagle's killing seems to have aroused the ferocity of the Demon Crow.
Faced with the death of their companions, these monkey-faced crows instead pounced on the black-feathered eagle even more fearlessly.
Black rays shot out from the mouths of these magic crows and hit the black feathers of the black-feathered eagle.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of metal colliding was extremely harsh and sparks flew everywhere.
Under Black Feather's protection, the attacks of these first-grade magical beasts could not cause much damage to the Black Feather Eagle.
But these magic crows also learned to be smart, and many of the black rays were directed towards the black-feathered eagle's eyes and other vital parts that were not protected by black feathers.
Faced with this overwhelming black attack, the Black-Feathered Eagle could not help but be distracted.
One of the black rays hit the black-feathered eagle's pupil. Under this blow, blood was already flowing out from the corner of its eye, which was very eye-catching.
Birds are inherently ferocious. Even if they have been tamed as demon pets, the nature of the black-feathered eagle's bloodline cannot be changed.
This injury, coupled with the injuries that had gradually accumulated on its body, actually aroused its ferocity.
The black-feathered eagle raised its head and let out a high-pitched cry, a hint of madness revealed in its bloody eyes. It spread its wings, stirred up a gust of wind, and pounced into the group of monkey-faced crows.
On the ground, there are also a large number of magical beasts of various species gathered.
The eyes of these monsters are filled with bloodthirstiness and madness.
Cai Heng's other demon pet, the violent ape, held a black iron rod and rushed left and right among the monsters like a physical cultivator with superb martial arts skills.
The iron rod was extremely powerful, and wherever it passed, there was blood and gore.
boom!
The violent ape swung the iron rod and hit a demon wolf on the head. The demon wolf's skull exploded instantly, and brain and blood spurted out. The white and red mixed together, and the scene was disgusting.
Although the violent ape was extremely ferocious, its body was already covered with scars and the situation was not optimistic.
"Grandpa, the number of these ferocious beasts is increasing..." Cai Xingchao said in panic as he supported Cai Heng, who was pale and had blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.
Shi Youling controlled a magic scented handkerchief and looked around vigilantly, fearing that a magical beast would suddenly jump out from somewhere.
Cai Heng was just careless and was ambushed by a magical beast that was good at hiding, causing him to be seriously injured.
Most of the beast cultivators' combat power comes from their carefully trained beast pets, so their own combat power seems somewhat lacking.
Cai Heng felt a little helpless as he looked at the two demon pets that were fighting hard in the group of monsters.
At this time, the Cai Mansion was like a small boat, and these monsters were like waves, hitting the boat again and again, and could overturn the boat at any time.
The many mortals who were sheltered in the mansion also saw that the situation was not good. Their faces were filled with despair, and some of them could not suppress the fear in their hearts and broke down crying.
"I can't hold it anymore, cough cough..." Cai Heng just said two sentences and couldn't help but covered his mouth and coughed twice. When he put down his hand, there was a scarlet bloodstain on his palm.
Cai Xingchao's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said, " Grandpa , why can they be so hard-hearted and cowardly? They can stand by and watch indifferently while their compatriots and tribesmen are being slaughtered..."
As the deacon of the Pacification Division, Cai Heng also had many monks and servants to support him in his mansion, and together they formed a considerable fighting force.
However, when Cai Heng chose to shelter many mortals, thus attracting a large number of magical beasts to surround the mansion, some of the monks in the mansion began to escape quietly.
Cai Heng, who discovered this situation, did not force these monks to stay, but allowed them to choose freely to stay or leave.
Who would have thought that in the end there would be only three or four monks who chose to stay in the mansion.
With my grandfather's fighting power alone, he has been able to hold off these monsters for such a long time. If everyone is willing to stay and work together, perhaps we can stop these monsters.
Thinking of this, Cai Xingchao unconsciously clenched his fists.
Cai Heng seemed to sense Cai Xingchao's resentment. He patted his hands and said softly, "Xingchao, in the torrent, some people are willing to stand up, while others worried about the huge waves. There is no need to laugh at the stupidity of the passionate people, nor is there any need to denounce the cowardice of those who are afraid to run away. In the final analysis, we are all just drops of water in the torrent."
“It’s just…” Cai Heng, who was almost at the end of his life, looked vague, as if he had thought of something, and finally sighed softly, “When the entire city is submerged, where can they escape to?”
Cai Heng did not know about the existence of the Shura Blood Transformation Formation, nor did he know that his act of protecting mortals was delaying the formation of the blood river and was the right choice that could truly save the city.
He only knew that when the flood came, if everyone chose to flee and no one stepped forward to build a dike, then sooner or later there would be a day when there would be no place left for people to live.
