Knife splashing

Chapter 399: Strange Beasts Attacking the Mountain
The night was pitch black, with no light around, only the howling wind on the top of the mountain, blowing the campfire to roar.

In this situation, it is pitch black fifty meters away, and this atmosphere alone is enough to scare some people.

"coming!"

Li Yan and Lu San spoke almost at the same time.

Although they cannot see, they all possess the power of hearing.

The sound you hear is completely different.

Lu San could hear the sounds of birds and beasts. He could hear countless wild beasts roaring crazily in the distance. The sounds were all different, but all of them were in a frenzy, with murderous intent...

Li Yan could hear the language of ghosts and gods. In his ears, it seemed that countless creatures were wailing, mixed with the screams of humans...

Even he felt his back tighten and his hair stand on end.

On the contrary, Sharifei and Wuba could neither hear nor see anything, so they were naturally fearless and held their weapons tightly.

Looking at the darkness below the mountain, Li Yan pinched his fingers, raised his little finger, closed his eyes, and the Chu Ling paper man flew into the night.

From the paper man's perspective, he finally saw the enemy.

Just a glance and my scalp felt tingling.

Looking around, there were countless wild beasts.

Black bears, tigers, leopards, jackals, wild boars, pythons...almost all the animals you can name are there.

He already knew that there were many animals in Shennongjia. He had smelled a lot of scents when he entered the mountain before, but they were all hidden.

After all, the aura they carry is not something that can be easily messed with.

Now that animals and beasts have gathered here, you can see how lively Shennongjia is.

Fortunately, there were only a few ferocious beasts, and most of them were small creatures such as hares, deer roe, monkeys, badgers, foxes, etc.

As for the gods who drive beasts, not a single one can be seen.

When Li Yan saw this, he immediately thought that something was wrong.

The weakest beasts rushed directly into the dense forest at the foot of the mountain and immediately stepped on the ground fire mines.

Boom boom boom!
Accompanied by a series of roars, mud splattered and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

"It went off! How many people were killed?"

On the top of the mountain, Sharifei looked excited.

They also obtained a large amount of ordinary gunpowder from the Longxiong Army. These things were useless, and he made them all into underground fire mines.

The ground fire mine in "Thunder and Fire Sutra" requires an iron cast or ceramic shell, and more importantly, a small device filled with flint and phosphorus powder.

Sharifei didn't have that much water on hand, so he found all the large jars used by the "Jing people" to store water and modified them.

Although no new type of gunpowder was used, ordinary gunpowder was used liberally, and a lot of gravel was deliberately placed around it, so its power naturally should not be underestimated.

However, Li Yan closed his eyes and shook his head, saying, "It's useless. The Shenkui tribe has learned how to deal with gunpowder when fighting against the Tiansheng Army."

"All that were killed were small animals. Not a single wild animal was injured."

"what?!"

When Sharifei heard this, he was a little disappointed.

Li Yan didn't bother to explain in detail and continued to observe the enemy situation.

Sure enough, after the smoke from the forest dissipated, the area was in ruins with dead bodies all over the ground. The remaining small animals were also frightened by the horrific explosion and ran around in panic.

The beasts continued to move forward.

When they reached halfway up the mountain, the beasts also stopped.

It was Lu San's mountain ghost ban that worked.

These beasts circled in place, looking extremely uneasy, even a little manic, and began to bite each other.

But even so, they are unwilling to take a step forward.

Just when Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief, even larger black shadows appeared in the dense forest behind the beast.

Donkey-headed wolf!
Li Yan's expression became serious.

He didn't expect that the Shenkui tribe could even control such a monster.

There were about twenty or thirty donkey-headed wolves, and behind them were two even larger monsters.

It is dark all over, with long and thin limbs, a head like a cow, horns, but a mouth full of ferocious fangs.

The most unique thing is its body, which looks like a black coffin.

They were even more violent, and the ground rumbled as they ran. The donkey-headed wolf blocking the road in front of them couldn't dodge in time and was bitten on the buttocks.

He cried out in pain but didn't dare to resist.

Coffin beast!
Li Yan had heard Zhou Lizheng from Longtan Village talk about this strange beast and thought it was just a legend. He did not expect that it really existed in Shennongjia.

And one after another, the gods appeared.

Although they have only one leg, they are very strong. With a sudden leap, they can jump seven or eight meters high and jump out of the dense forest.

This thing has a very uncoordinated body shape, but its movements are very agile. It jumps around and makes strange rhythmic sounds from its mouth, as if it is performing some kind of Nuo dance.

Wild beasts such as tigers, leopards, jackals and wolves were blocked by Lu Sanshan's ghost ban, but donkey-headed wolves and coffin beasts were not affected.

Their fangs were ferocious, and after a moment's hesitation, they directly crossed the restriction and ran towards the mountain.

At the same time, dark fog rolled in from behind, covering these strange beasts. There were shadowy figures inside and countless cries were heard.

The Chu Ling paper figure was shrouded in dark fog and instantly collapsed.

"Laosha!"

Li Yan suddenly opened his eyes, roared, then drew out the Dust-Breaking Sword and stared straight ahead.

Sharifei was well prepared. He aimed the tiger squat cannon at an angle at the hillside and raised the torch to light the fuse.

boom!
There was a loud bang and roar of fire.

The Tiger Crouching Cannon used a new type of gunpowder, and since it was dark and it was impossible to aim accurately, all it used were scattered projectiles.

Like a rainstorm of pear blossoms, dense bullets whizzed out and covered the entire hillside, and several donkey-headed wolves were injured immediately.

Some had their legs broken and rolled down the slope.

Some of them had their stomachs pierced, which made them even crazier.

Some unlucky ones even had their heads pierced through.

In ancient times, there were martial arts masters who possessed a thousand pounds of strength, pulled a hard bow, and wielded magical weapons. Although they were not members of the Taoist sect, they also left behind legends of killing monsters.

New artillery can naturally do it as well.

This is the reason why the monsters in the Jingxiang Mountains fled.

The emergence of new gunpowder changed not only the situation in the martial arts world.

"Quick!"

After Sharifei fired a shot, he and Wuba quickly reloaded.

He picked up the mop pole and wiped it hard inside the hot barrel to wipe off the gunpowder residue, then stuffed the explosive pack in. Wu Ba then put in an iron baffle and filled it with broken bullets and pressed it tightly.

Even though they worked well together, it still took some time.

Without time to prepare, Sharifei lit the fuse again.

boom!
There was another loud noise, and the entire mountain top shook.

Dense bullets whizzed out.

The donkey-headed wolves were also moving very fast. They were almost at the top of the mountain when they were hit by a cannon on the head.

Some of them were knocked flying backwards, rolled on the ground, their bodies covered with blood holes, and soon died.

Several others were also seriously injured.

This hillside is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the danger is made even more severe with artillery fire.

According to the cunning nature of the donkey-headed wolf, it would never attack rashly, but it was driven by the Shenkui tribe and had already lost its mind.

With just these two shots, half of the donkey-headed wolves were killed.

Just as Sharifei was about to continue filling the medicine, he heard the whistling of wind in the sky and several huge rocks as big as washbasins fell down with a loud bang.

However, the human-faced owl also took advantage of the chaos and darkness to launch a sneak attack.

"Roar!"

Wu Ba roared and punched the stone away. However, this also delayed the time, and the remaining donkey-headed wolves rushed to the top of the mountain and pounced on them.

"Oh shit!"

Sharifei cursed with sweat on his head, then gave up the cannon, picked up the magic gun in his hand, raised his hand and pulled the trigger.

Bang! A donkey-headed wolf's head shattered and flew out backwards.

In terms of shooting accuracy, he is the best among everyone.

As for Li Yan, he stood in the middle of the road, holding the Dust-Breaking Knife in one hand and the warrant in the other, muttering something.

Call ~
In an instant, the entire mountaintop was filled with howling winds.

On the altar below the cave, Wang Daoxuan brandished the Golden Money Sword and chanted: "The sky is clear and the earth is spiritual. Soldiers and generals follow orders. Soldiers follow the seals and generals follow orders..."

Wow!
The altar was shaking, and the five Dharma flags above were swaying continuously.

At the place where the five-sided Luofeng flag was buried on the top of the mountain, a cold air whistled out, and white frost instantly spread on the ground, and a large number of human footprints and horse hoof prints appeared.

Five streams of white mist rolled out, as if five battalions of soldiers were receiving orders to leave the camp. They moved at a very fast speed and directly surrounded the top of the mountain.

Rushing forward along with the donkey-headed wolf were the evil spirits controlled by the Shenkui tribe, their shadowy figures looming in the dark fog.

Most of these ghosts and monsters are the remaining souls of wild beasts that died in the mountains and hid among the rocks and dead trees.

They are not like humans, with seven emotions and six desires, and therefore they cannot be considered as wronged souls or evil ghosts. At most, they are a kind of evil spirit.

They are also attracted by the Yang energy of living people and will attack people when they are walking on the road at night, causing incidents such as ghosts running into walls and encountering evil spirits.

Sometimes, when people are hit by these things, they will go crazy and talk nonsense, but ordinary fortune-tellers can drive them away, which is not very powerful.

The Shennongjia in this world is shrouded in thick fog all year round due to its special geographical environment, and is also home to many evil spirits.

When these things gather into a tide, the momentum is extremely shocking.

However, these things were not on the same level as the underworld soldiers and were dispersed directly.

It looked like a tide of ghostly fog, but it was always blocked outside by soldiers and horses.

But when Li Yan saw it, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

As expected, without the support of the underworld's power, the power of these soldiers was significantly weakened.

You know, when the underworld troops were dispatched, everything was dark and all evil spirits fled.

But now it is only slightly stronger than the Sheling troops.

Under the attack of the underworld troops, the evil spirits and monsters were largely scattered, and even the donkey-headed wolves regained a bit of rationality and hesitated to move forward.

Rumble!
At this moment, a vibration sound was heard from behind.

But it was the coffin beast following behind that rushed up.

This strange beast is huge in size, and can only run one after the other on the narrow slope. However, the ground rumbles and shakes as it runs, causing sand and rocks to fly everywhere, and its momentum is extremely astonishing.

The donkey-headed wolf that blocked the road was knocked away by them.

These donkey-headed wolves were frightened, and some of them rolled directly into the soldiers of the underworld, howling and struggling wildly, their eyes gradually losing focus, and white frost spreading on their skin.

Some of them stepped on their companions and leaped high into the air, directly jumping over the soldiers of the underworld and running towards the crowd.

Bang!Bang!
Two consecutive gunshots were heard, and Sha Lifei and Lu San attacked at the same time.

They killed two donkey-headed wolves, but there was still one that escaped. It scurried around on the ground and pounced at them with its fangs and big mouth open.

"Roar!"

Wu Ba roared, his muscles bulged, and he swung the axe.

There was a loud "puff", and a huge gash was seen on half of the donkey-headed wolf's body. Before it hit the ground, Wu Ba grabbed its head, slapped it to the ground, and broke its neck.

In terms of close combat power, Wu Ba is only weaker than Li Yan.

With Wuba's protection, Sharifei and Lu San were more calm and quickly reloaded their ammunition.

As for Li Yan, he was too busy to help.

The coffin beast was very strange. Not only did it knock down the donkey-headed wolf pack, it also lowered its head and charged forward, completely ignoring the attempt by the underworld's soldiers to intercept it.

The hide of this strange beast was extremely tough, and seemed to be able to withstand the impact of the evil spirit. Although its body was covered with frost, it still broke through the defense line of the Yin soldiers.

"court death!"

A fierce light flashed in Li Yan's eyes.

He stood in front of everyone, and two soul-breaking flying knives whizzed out at the same time, shooting towards the coffin beast.

When he reached the third level of Taoism, his magical powers were enhanced and he could control two soul-catching chains at the same time, and the soul-breaking flying knives also became two.

puff puff!

Two flying knives pierced into the coffin beast's neck almost at the same time.

But something happened that surprised Li Yan.

This strange beast was actually able to resist the suppression of the soul-catching rope. Although it was dizzy, it still kept moving, opened its fangs and big mouth, and bit at him.

Li Yan took a series of steps and dodged by leaning sideways. At the same time, the hidden strength in his body burst out, and he leaned sideways and elbowed, directly hitting the side of the coffin beast.

With his current hidden strength, he can even knock down a wall.

But as soon as they came into contact, Li Yan secretly felt that something was wrong.

This thing was so powerful that he couldn't even knock it over. Instead, he was knocked back two steps.

Compared to these strange beasts, the human body has limitations after all. Even if one reaches the level of Hua Jin, it cannot compare with these things.

Li Yan's reaction was amazing. He swung the Dust-Breaking Sword while retreating.

puff!

The knife flashed, and a cut appeared on the coffin beast's dark skin, but only a little blood seeped out.

Well, Li Yan was completely convinced.

This strange beast has a terrible reputation and is indeed extraordinary. Under its skin, its ribs are condensed in a plate-like shape and are very hard, protecting its internal organs.

No wonder even the donkey-headed wolf can’t be provoked.

At the same time, another coffin beast also rushed over.

Li Yan no longer dared to hold back his strength. With a single focus of his mind, the heavenly thunder stored in the soul-catching rope instantly surged.

With a click, lightning flashed.

Two electric snakes danced and shot out from Li Yan's palm, outlining the traces of the soul-catching rope in the air, and connected with the soul-breaking flying knife.

When the thunder from heaven strikes, all evil will be invincible.

The coffin beast was struck to pieces, and it fell to the ground with a loud bang, completely out of breath.

And the other coffin beast had also rushed up.

Li Yan stretched out his hand and waved, and the two soul-breaking swords whizzed out again. At the same time, he leaped high, flipped like a kite, and while dodging, the soul-breaking flying swords once again pierced into the neck of another coffin beast.

This time he had experience and didn't waste the heavenly thunder anymore. He changed his hand gestures in the air and slapped out with one palm.

The crackling sound of electric arcs was the Northern Emperor's Yin Lei Palm.

After his Taoism level improved, the power of the Northern Emperor's Yin Thunder Palm also increased. The Yin Thunder spread along the Soul-Catching Rope and shot directly into the body of the coffin beast.

Yin Lei can suppress the soul. Although it is not a fatal blow, it makes the coffin beast completely lose its ability to resist.

Li Yan took advantage of the situation and pulled, and as the Soul-Breaking Flying Knife turned back, a ball of violent ghost was also held in his hand.

Zizi!

The Yang Thunder of the Heavenly Thunder Demon-Subduing Hammer exploded and directly shattered it.

Boom!
The other coffin beast also fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Without these two giant beasts, the situation immediately improved.

Those evil spirits were dispersed by the Yin soldiers. The remaining donkey-headed wolves were also on the verge of collapse under the siege of the Yin soldiers. They were shot and killed one by one by Lu San and Shalifei.

oooo~
The wailing sounds were heard, and the wild animals at the foot of the mountain fled in all directions in fear.

Silence finally returned to the top of the mountain.

However, everyone became more vigilant.

In the dense forest at the foot of the mountain, many gods and even enslaved barbarians appeared, standing in a large crowd...
