Chapter 158 Empty City
The scorpion threw the sand ghost he had just captured in front of Ouyang Xiao Leng and others. As soon as the arrogant monster left the sand and came to the sun, he became timid, as timid as a mouse, and there was no more prestige when it set off a huge wave in the sand sea.
"I really want to take their copper ring armor to see what they look like."
Wang Yue said and stepped down the sand camel beast, called out one of the moon shadow knives, and gently picked it along the sand ghost's body from the bottom to the top. The copper ring armor was opened in an instant. The colloidal translucent objects like snots in the copper ring armor were exposed little by little. No one expected that the real face of the sand ghost would be like this. What's more unexpected is that it began to melt as soon as it met the sun, and finally turned into a stream of water vapor and dispersed without a trace.
Wang Yue looked down and saw that some gelatinous objects were also glued to her knife, and it was also melting and smoking, so she cursed, "Damn it, this thing is really disgusting!"
Several other warriors of the scorpion demon family also dragged the sand ghosts they had captured, and removed all the copper ring armor from their bodies according to the look of the moon, so that these snots turned into water vapor. Then they continued to dive into the sand sea with the scorpions to deal with the remaining sand ghosts. After a few rounds and turns, these monsters in ambush in the sand were all destroyed.
The victorious Scorpion came to Ouyang Xiaoleng and Ouyang Hongye and said, "Report, the task has been completed!"
"Well done!" Ouyang Hongye said approvingly to the Scorpion and other scorpion warriors.
"It's a pity that a soldier was sacrificed at the beginning because of their inexperience!" The scorpion shook his head with some shame and said, feeling that it was his improper command that caused unnecessary sacrifices.
Originally, he returned to the clan with confidence. Who knew that he only summoned 21 people for the sake of saying good words, and left another one halfway. He had made up his mind to let all these fellow soldiers who were willing to follow him return to the clan safely, but he still failed to do as he wished.
At the time when he was annoyed, Ouyang Xiaoling asked, "What's his name? Does he have a family?"
Scorpion answered truthfully, "His name is Yellow Foot. He is the oldest in the team. We all call him Lao Huang. The wife and children are all in the clan.
"When you return to the royal city, in addition to your rewards, there will be more rewards for the sacrificed Scorpion warrior Lao Huang, and you will personally send it to his family!" After saying that, Ouyang Xiao Leng looked at Ouyang Hongye. Seeing his positive look, he knew that his handling was quite appropriate.
"Thank you, King!"
After listening to Ouyang Xiao Leng's words, the scorpion and other scorpion warriors knelt down on one knee and said in unison. They all sincerely thanked their sacrificed their peers for the grace from the demon king fox. Previously, it was rumored that the royal city had already declined in the scorpion demon family, and the treasury in the Chenji Palace was also in vain. Even if they joined the army and died in the battlefield, they would die in vain, so everyone was extremely resistant to the army. It was no one else who instructed the clan to spread these rumors. It was the scorpion's brother, the scorpion. This time, after seeing the generosity of the demon king fox, the rumors were broken.
After some twists and turns, the first obstacle was finally leveled, and the army of Wangcheng was able to successfully enter the Red Mir Desert. Some Scorpions continue to lead the remaining soldiers of the same race to escort the army to prevent the appearance of sand ghosts with leaking nets. They have arrived at the entrance of the dungeon in less than half a day.
Under the night, the huge platform connecting the entrance was shaken like a mirror by the moonlight. Although there was no wind passing by, everyone felt chills because of nervousness. The hedge ghost, the head of the demon horse cavalry regiment who opened the way in the front, felt that as the only way to enter the dungeon, it could also be called a fortress. It was really quiet here.
He winched at the mane beside him, slowed down the speed of the camel beast under him and carefully observed the movement around him. But until the stormtrooper led by him entered the sinking entrance of the dungeon, nothing strange happened. Everything seemed too smooth, but the light here was extremely dark, and the fence had to make everyone light the torch.
The 500-person stormtrooper quickly entered the passage connecting the dungeon, and it was still very quiet. Just as he was just a little more vigilant, a sad cry suddenly came from above their heads, and then the overwhelming blood-sucking bats flapped their wings and attacked them.
Their attack was so sudden that many soldiers of the cavalry regiment had been bitten before they could realize what was going on. They soon found that these vampire bats should be specially trained, and they could accurately find the cracks in the armor worn by the soldiers or exposed places and hit them with one blow.
When bitten by them, it becomes extremely difficult to get rid of them. After many soldiers pull off or kill the bats that have begun to suck their blood, they find that their teeth are still tightly inserted into their skin. With the light of the torch, those teeth will be blue and purple, and even black.
"These bats are poisonous!" A bitten soldier couldn't help screaming.
Other bitten soldiers panicked when they heard it. Everyone was busy dealing with the constantly attacking vampire bats, and the situation gradually fell into chaos.
Because of the demonic cyclone protection, the hedge demons and manes were not bitten by blood-sucking bats. He suddenly remembered that bats were most afraid of light and flames, because their eyesight was very weak, so they could not stand the stimulation of too bright light.
So he shouted at the soldiers behind him: "Don't panic! Calm down. Bats are afraid of fire. Use the torch in your hands to deter them first, and then kill them!"
As a green bull demon, his voice was indeed extremely loud, and the words echoed in the whole channel, which also showed the direction to the soldiers who lost their judgment because of fear. They used the shaking of the torch to deter the blood-sucking bats, and then fought back with their weapons. Soon the blood-sucking monsters were killed by them and fled to the dungeon in a hurry.
The hedge ghost quickly reported to Ouyang Xiaoleng, who was behind the cavalry regiment, on the situation of the sneak attack just now. After discussing with Ouyang Xiaoleng, Ouyang Hongye decided to immediately let the accompanying military doctor provide emergency treatment for the wounded of the cavalry regiment.
I don't know why this second obstacle has been successfully removed, but Ouyang Hongye's heart vaguely feels that something is wrong. Ouyang Xiao Leng has the same idea as him. At first glance, the sand ghost and the blood-sucking bat have caused certain obstacles to the march of the army and delayed them some time, but with Qingyun's strength, this degree of ambush is more like a bluff.
An ominous foreboding in their hearts. Qingyun must have prepared some big gift waiting for them in the dungeon. Compared with the door open to welcome their arrival, these small ambush may just be a cover for the truth, making them unconsciously fall into the devil's trap.
"It seems that there must be a big guy waiting for us!" Ouyang Hongye saw that Ouyang Xiao Leng and himself had thought of something, so she said to him.
"Hmm! But now that he is here, he has to go in for a while!" Ouyang Xiao Leng's eyes looked deep into the dark passage and said.
"Everyone should be vigilant! No matter what happens, you should keep the formation arranged in advance. No one is allowed to leave the team without authorization, let alone panic!" Ouyang Hongye ordered to the others.
As Xia Qiu entered the dungeon, the vampire bat did not appear again. Compared with the last time I came, the lights in the dungeon seemed to be much dim, and the ground seemed very messy. At a glance, the city seemed to have been looted. There was no pedestrian on the street, not even a subordinate of Qingyun, and all the buildings were closed. The surroundings were too quiet to feel any anger, as if the whole city had fallen asleep.
Although Ouyang Hongye had an order for a long time, when they passed the amorous street, Ling Yu still jumped from the back of the sand tuo beast at the gate of Ji Letian Kingdom.
"Lingyu, don't act alone..."
Before Ouyang Hongye's words fell, Lingyu had lightly flown to the eaves of the extremely happy national building in front of him, and then turned into the yard from there. He casually pushed a door in front of him, which was easily pushed open by him. There was thick dust in the house, but the owner's figure had long disappeared. He tried several other rooms in a row, and then made sure that the whole extremely happy country was empty. He couldn't help sinking his heart. Is it true that everyone in the store was affected by his involvement, as he thought in advance?
Next, he went to several Fengyue stores next to him to find out. Who would have expected that the situation of those stores is the same as that of Ji Letianguo. Judging from the situation of the dust falling in the house, they have been empty for quite a long time. He returned to Ouyang Xiao Leng and told everyone what he saw. When they passed by the shopping street and hotel street, Ouyang Xiao Leng specially sent someone to check it carefully and found that the buildings here were also empty.
"Has the people in the dungeon disappeared?" Wang Yue asked in disbelief.
"Qingyun won't run away when he knows we're coming, will he?" Qianqi was also shocked by the depressed dungeon in front of him. Compared with the previous excitement, the changes here are really too huge.
"So many people have been driven away? It's unlikely..." Lingyu said to herself. The resident population in the dungeon is roughly thousands, not counting the gold diggers. Are these people all expelled or killed by the cruel Qingyun? Thinking of this, he is even more worried about the coldness and the safety of others in the extremely happy country.
"Let's take a look at the east hotel and the palace of the city owner's salamy!" Ouyang Xiao Leng proposed.
"Good!" Ouyang Hongye agreed.
