Volume 2 Demon Ridge Jingyanggang Chapter 13: The Invasion of the Darkness
"Almost beat the demon tiger to death?"
"Yes, if he hadn't been drunk and woken up from his sleep, and his whole body was weak, and the weapon in his hand had not fallen out of his hand, it might have been Yaohu who died. Later, there were no reinforcements for this evil ghost army, apparently because Yaohu didn't think much of it."
Wang Yi explained.
Wang Liang was now somewhat curious about the situation of Yaohu's subordinates, so he asked, "Anything else?"
"There are also those little demons we saw just now. They are the little demons that the demon tiger randomly enlightened after it became a demon. There are about three thousand of them. They usually patrol the mountains and kill people. They are usually called the Mountain Patrol Team."
Wang Yi quickly told everything he knew.
"The patrol team has two leaders, both of whom are monsters that were defeated by the monster tiger. One is a wild boar that calls himself Mountain Whale, and the other is a black bear that calls himself Old Black. The two of them were originally the overlords of Jingyanggang. After being defeated by the monster tiger, they were transformed into monsters. Their strength is not weaker than that of the infantry commander, and they are ranked second among the Four Heavenly Kings.
The last legion was the detachment of soldiers that attacked Jingyang Ridge four years ago. None of them came back alive. Some people only saw them appear on Jingyang Ridge at night, but no one had ever really seen them. Some people said that the third legion might be fake and was a rumor spread by the demon tiger.
But no one knows whether this is a rumor or not.
The number of people in this so-called Yin Army is about 5,000, and its leader is also one of the Four Heavenly Kings, the former Du Yu Hou Yin Xun. "
After introducing the situation on Jingyanggang, Wang Yi looked at Wang Liang, waiting for his judgment.
But Wang Liang frowned and waited for a moment before asking, "Anything else?"
"What else?"
"There is also one of the Four Heavenly Kings. There are five Four Heavenly Kings. Isn't this common sense?" Wang Liang said proudly. Finally, he didn't have to be surpassed by others in common sense.
Wang Liang didn't know that his question confused Wang Yi. What kind of common sense is it that there are five of the Four Heavenly Kings?
He thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out where this common sense came from, nor could he figure out who this fifth heavenly king was.
Fortunately, at this time, Wang Liang and his friends had already seen from a distance the guy who had escaped first.
At this time, the guy who stole the gong was lying on the side of the road, and the gong that Wang Liang and his friends were looking for was gone.
Wang Liang jumped off the horse and walked to the guy, turned his body over, and finally shook his head.
"He is dead."
"What should we do now? We are going to die here."
After hearing what Wang Liang said, Wang Yi sat on the ground and burst into tears. The sound startled the birds nearby.
"Not really. If there are only two of us, we can just fight our way out from here. With the speed of horses, we can rush out of Jingyanggang before the sun sets."
"It's impossible. There's no way out. Don't you know that the gong not only makes us look like the dead, but it also has the ability to lead the way. Without the gong, we'll never be able to get out."
Wang Yi cried more and more sadly, and he almost rolled on the ground.
While he was crying, Wang Liang seemed to have discovered something and he looked up at the sky.
"Something is wrong. How can the sun move so fast?"
When Wang Yi heard this, he didn't even dare to cry. He pulled Wang Liang's clothes and said, "This is the demon tiger swallowing the sky. Five years ago, when we were fighting against the demon tiger, the demon tiger used this trick to turn day into night and killed all the officers and soldiers. The demon tiger is coming, the demon tiger is coming."
"Shut up."
Wang Liang was a little upset after being called by Wang Yi. After he roared, he looked around carefully with the killing knife in hand.
Wang Liang found that as the sky turned black, the surrounding environment also changed. The road that he could see the end of seemed to become quite long. The surrounding woods began to darken. Gusts of cold wind blew out from the woods, and from time to time he could see white broken bones on the ground.
I don’t know if this is an illusion or if the original Demon Ridge is like this.
"Get on the horse and follow me, otherwise I won't guarantee your release."
As Wang Liang spoke, he accepted the new temporary task.
[Would you like to accept the temporary mission: Blood Road of Demon Ridge]
[Task requirements: Protect the merchant Wang Yi and fight his way out of the demon mountain Jingyanggang. Ensure the merchant Wang Yi's survival, and you will be rewarded with a random green magic weapon.]
Although it was only green, Wang Liang knew that the magic weapon was useful, so he didn't care whether it was random or not. He picked up the sword and jumped onto the horse.
“I’ve caught up.”
After saying this, Wang Liang reined in his horse and started charging towards one end of the road.
The fat merchant Wang Yi was a rather strong man, so the horse's speed was obviously slower. Wang Liang didn't know how to protect him, so he just slowed down and led the horse forward, hoping to get out of the mountain road in the shortest time possible.
But soon Wang Liang felt something was wrong. A rustling sound began to be heard from the nearby woods, and some white bones with rotten flesh hanging on their bodies walked out from the nearby woods, twisting their steps.
These skeletons were wearing tattered red jackets and holding spears or daggers in their hands. It was obvious at first glance that they were not regular troops.
Some of the skeletons still had some flesh on their faces, and some of the eyeballs were still hanging under the eye sockets.
When they came out, Wang Liang and Wang Yi didn't react at all, but the horses were startled.
Wang Liang held down the horses, secretly annoyed that he was not riding a war horse, and said to Wang Yi behind him: "Control the horses and charge forward, it will be fine."
As Wang Liang spoke, the sword kept swinging.
Unlike the Mo Dao used in infantry combat, Wang Liang’s horse combat skills were not very high. At best, he could only be considered a mounted infantryman.
He is not at all like the cavalry generals during the Three Kingdoms period who could move straight forward on horseback and defeat a thousand men alone.
Wang Liang was riding on a horse, so he could only consider the situation on one side, and he might not be able to directly cut the other side.
So Wang Liang kept urging Wang Yi to hurry up, wanting to rush out before those bones surrounded him.
At this time, Wang Liang had already believed the information that Wang Yi had said. Judging from the number of bones in front of him, it was not a big problem to send out 5,000 soldiers and horses on this road.
Wang Liang knew his own strength. Even if the five thousand soldiers were left there motionless for him to kill, it would take him a long time to kill them. So he had to take advantage of the opportunity of these skeletons twisting and moving slowly to fight his way out.
At this time, of course, you should rush as far as you can.
But at this time, something went wrong with Wang Yi. He shouted, "Don't kill me, don't kill me."
He was unable to control the direction of the horse and rushed towards the skeleton that was closer to him.
When Wang Liang saw this situation, he could only jump off his horse and stand in front of Wang Yi. He raised his sword and killed a group of skeletons in front of him.
