Free Web NovelChapter 8837: The cold wind (1)
The bronze man was in the middle of casting Yin wind ghostly soldiers on the skeletons when he suddenly felt a strange energy fluctuation under his feet. It was very light and disappeared in a flash. He was very confused, but he still had to be careful.
Although the bronze man was a formation organism, it had become extremely intelligent. It was also equivalent to Zhao Hai’s clone and had a lot of combat experience. That was why he was able to notice the different energy fluctuation. Although it disappeared in an instant, he could not ignore it. He immediately noticed it.
At this moment, an extremely powerful force suddenly rushed towards him from below. There were many of them, and they were all very powerful. It was as if they were going to swallow him up. The bronze man knew very well that if he were to be hit by this force, he would not be able to survive. This force was too powerful. It would destroy all the magic circles on his body, and his soul was in these magic circles. If all the magic circles were destroyed ... Then his soul would not be able to escape.
Fortunately, he was prepared. Although the attack was sudden, he still had some time to react. The bronze man waved the flag in his hand, and countless black mist gathered under his feet, forming a huge black Shield.
At the same time, the Xenomorph that the bronze statue was sitting on suddenly turned into a huge square block. On top of this copper block, there was a man the size of an ordinary Knight holding a flag. The flag’s surface area became extremely small, while the bronze block under his feet became extremely huge. It was as if the huge Knight had turned into a seal, and the bronze statue was the carving on the top of the seal.
BOOM! With a loud sound, the black Shield was shattered. It was known that the black Shield was not that simple. It was a shield formed by the bronze man using the power of the yin Wind Ghost flag and the power of many skeletons. This shield was actually very strong, but it still couldn’t block the opponent’s attack.
After the huge force shattered the black Shield, it hit the bronze block directly. The bronze block flew into the sky. Although a big pit was made under the bronze block, it was not penetrated. Of course, the bronze man on the top of the bronze block was also fine.
When the copper pieces flew up, a group of people in black clothes riding on lizard-like monsters suddenly appeared where the bronze men were standing. However, they disappeared as soon as they appeared. The skeletons didn’t seem to notice them, and they didn’t seem to know what was happening. They just stood there without any panic.
At this moment, a large number of skeletons in the center of the area suddenly turned into dust. Obviously, they were crushed by a heavy technique. These skeletons were crushed to such a degree that they were naturally dead. However, the other skeletons still stood there quietly as if they didn’t see it. They didn’t panic, nor did they resist. They just stood there calmly.
Prince Rui and the others were shocked by the calmness. No matter what the reason was, they didn’t move. This was the best way to deal with the skeletons. If the skeletons were to panic when the bronze men were attacked, it would cause the other skeletons to panic. The entire skeleton formation would be in chaos. However, the skeletons didn’t panic when the bronze men were attacked.
The invisible beast-riders obviously noticed this, so they immediately attacked those skeletons. They wanted to make those skeletons chaotic. As long as those skeletons were chaotic, then the skeleton formation would be chaotic. Once the skeleton formation was chaotic, then the skeletons in front would also be chaotic. At that time, those skeletons would definitely not be a match for the slave soldiers.
However, they were once again disappointed. Even after seeing so many of their comrades die, the skeletons didn’t panic. They just stood there calmly like statues. This kind of mental strength was definitely not something that ordinary soldiers could have. Even the most elite soldiers didn’t have this kind of mental strength.
Just as the invisible beast-riders were about to attack the skeletons, they heard a roar from the sky. Then, they saw a huge black shadow rapidly falling from the sky. The appearance of this huge black shadow was a bit terrifying. It was actually a huge metal octopus with a huge flag on its head. This was obviously the metal puppet from before. This made the invisible beast-riders think, They felt that this metal octopus was definitely not easy to deal with, so they immediately turned invisible and stayed still. They wanted to use this method to avoid the metal octopus’s detection, and then slowly think of a way to deal with it.
After the metal octopus landed, it looked around as if it had not discovered the invisible beasts. However, it did not stop and do nothing. Instead, it gently shook its head. As its head shook, a gust of wind suddenly blew over the skeleton army. The wind was black and contained very strong Yin attribute energy. The skeletons did not care about the wind, as it would not cause any harm to them. However, the invisible beast cavalry soldiers couldn’t do it. They couldn’t ignore the wind. When the wind blew over, they felt as if their bodies were being cut by knives. This surprised them, and they immediately used their magic to resist the wind.
As soon as they activated the array, the octopus immediately discovered those invisible beast-riders. The tentacles on the octopus’s body suddenly moved, directly attacking those invisible beast-riders. Those invisible beast-riders were also greatly shocked and immediately revealed their figures to block. The octopus and the invisible beast-riders fought together.
Those invisible beast-riders were worthy of being the treasures of the Shadow Realm. Each of them had extraordinary and powerful combat strength. They were able to block the octopus’s attack. However, their situation wasn’t very good either. The octopus’s attack power was really powerful. In addition, there was a sinister wind that was everywhere. This really made them very surprised when they dealt with it.
The two sides fought for about an hour. Two invisible beast-riders were killed by Zhang Yu. The other invisible beast-riders were not in a good situation either. Not only did they have to deal with the octopuses, but they also had to resist the chilly wind. The chilly wind didn’t seem strong, but it would continuously consume one’s magical energy. What was even more strange was that the invisible beast-riders couldn’t absorb the spiritual Qi in this area. They could only consume and not absorb it. They could only resist it with their own strength. They really couldn’t resist for long.
But because Prince Rui had not given the order to retreat, they did not dare to retreat. So they could only stay here and fight with the octopus. The battle between the skeleton army and the slave soldiers was still ongoing. The skeleton army had slowly gained the upper hand. Although the slave soldiers were still resisting desperately, the effect was not very good.
In fact, the slave soldiers were really scared. They saw their fallen brothers turn into skeletons and then wave their weapons at them. How could they not be afraid? it was also because of this that they felt scared and were at a disadvantage.
Prince Rui, who had been watching the situation on the battlefield, had an extremely ugly expression. He said in a deep voice,"Order the invisible cavalrymen to come back. They’ve already entered the enemy’s territory. Even if they can become invisible, the enemy has many ways to find them. If they continue to fight, they’ll only die. Order the slave soldiers to hold them back. They can’t retreat now. If they retreat now, it’ll be another big defeat. They’re really useless."
Someone immediately responded and went down to pass down the order. Those invisible beast riders who were being entangled by the octopuses immediately retreated. Although a few people were killed by the octopuses in the process, most of them still managed to leave the place and safely returned to the Shadow Realm’s Army.
As soon as they returned to the Shadow Realm Army, they immediately came to Prince Rui and bowed to him. One of them said, " "Your Highness, we have disappointed you. Please punish us." He was very clear that they had failed this time. According to the rules of the Shadow Realm, they should be punished.
Prince Rui waved his hand and said, " this is not your fault. Tell me about the situation when you fought with the octopus. I saw that you were always restrained. How do you feel? " Prince Rui still wanted to know what exactly had happened there. He wanted to understand how the octopus’s combat power was through this matter.
The leader of the invisible beast riders said, " &Quot; yes, Your Highness. When we approached the octopus and were about to attack, the octopus seemed to have sensed it, so when we attacked, it blocked our attack in time. However, the skeletons didn’t panic. We wanted them to panic, so we attacked them, but they still didn’t move. At this time, the octopus suddenly landed. We went invisible to avoid his detection, although it was very useful. The octopus didn’t discover us, but then he used that flag-like celestial device. As soon as the celestial device shook, a large amount of cold wind appeared in that area. The cold wind would keep attacking us, and we had to resist it. Once we resisted, we exposed ourselves. The octopus immediately discovered us and began to attack us. We couldn’t absorb spiritual Qi there, so we could only resist it with our own strength. That’s it. That’s why we’re at a disadvantage."
Prince Rui nodded his head and then said,"Sure enough, it seems that this guy is really not easy to deal with. That magic tool is really not simple. Alright, you can all leave." The few invisible beast riders acknowledged and bowed to Prince Rui. Then, they turned around and left. After they left, Prince Rui looked in the direction of the skeleton army and said, " "He’s indeed not easy to deal with."
