Chapter 1650: Guardian Beast
As soon as the giant viper appeared, Bai Tan and his men retreated several steps in unison.
It’s not that they are not elite enough, but the oppressive feeling of facing this giant is too strong!
At that moment, some soldiers were so frightened that their bodies froze and they couldn't avoid the attacks of the stone beasts.
"Form a 'snake-mouthed formation' and shoot arrows!" Bai Tan smashed a stone beast with his backhand and roared. This kind of monster cannot be dealt with alone.
The generals and officers he brought with him followed him from the battlefield into the officialdom, and immediately formed a battle formation after receiving the order.
This was the battle formation of the army, forming a circle like a long snake with its tail in its mouth, encircling and killing the enemy. Each person in the formation had a large shield, and their bodies were glowing with light.
The head of the giant snake's trident was longer than that of an adult. It pierced the shield of one of the soldiers but only broke it, not piercing the man!
The other soldiers rushed forward and smashed their pickaxes on it.
There is a long rope tied to the back of the pickaxe. Once the tip of the pickaxe penetrates the enemy's armor, everyone pulls with all their strength in all directions and there is a chance that the monster will be fixed in place.
The army has many ways to hunt monsters, and this is one of them, using the majority to defeat the minority. Bai Tan also led the army to hunt monsters when he was young, and he is experienced, but this is the first time he has encountered a monster with such a strong aura.
It was also the first time that he experienced what incomparable demonic energy was.
A dozen pickaxes smashed into the giant viper, leaving only shallow dents. Considering the thickness of the giant viper's armor, this damage was not worth mentioning.
If you can't break it, you can't fix it. The giant snake held the halberd in one hand, and the other three hands were free, so he grabbed a soldier in the formation and tore him apart lightly.
The man screamed loudly, but—
Eh, it didn’t tear.
The giant snake seemed a little surprised. With its strength, not to mention a human, even a bison would be torn in half!
It doesn't know that this snake-like formation can transfer most of the damage suffered by a single unit to other companions in the formation, which is the so-called group responsibility.
No one can be immune to it, but the chances of survival of everyone in the team can be greatly improved.
The giant viper deliberately paused and exerted a lot of strength on his hands.
Hiss, blood mist splattered.
This time, the tug exceeded the formation's sharing limit. Even if 70% to 80% of the damage was spread out, the remaining damage was still not something the unlucky guy in its hands could bear.
The soldiers in the formation also cried out in pain, some of them covered their chests and vomited blood, their expressions became haggard.
Even if it is shared among hundreds of people, the power of the giant viper can still cause serious internal injuries.
That's right. The giant viper shook its head, as if the blood mist fascinated it.
The white mist surged around and went towards the wounds on its scales, filling them in just a few breaths.
Everyone's faces became even uglier.
The white mist gushing out of Yuquan Palace can actually repair its damage.
This is their home court. Do they really have a chance of winning here?
King Yao pointed at Bai Tan and hissed, "Kill! Kill him!"
The giant snake swam straight towards Bai Tan, charging all the way. It seemed to know that the army also had Yuanli, and was too lazy to bother with them. The soldiers blocking the front were either swept by the trident or directly knocked away with their own strong body!
Don't be fooled by its huge size, its power is very clever. The soldiers fell down one after another, and they were no match for it!
Bai Tan was shocked and cried out, "My God, save me!"
While the monster was displaying its might, Qingyang retreated to the side of the Bega envoy Wu Linghe, looked up at the giant snake and said:
"I never thought that the guardian beast of Yao Country is actually a snake? I heard that they live in the Upside-Down Sea and are born with evil spirits. This one is so powerful, how can it live in Yuquan Palace and have its inner elixir controlled by King Yao?"
She had only felt such a powerful demonic aura from the Emperor and the Winter Palace's Imperial Master.
Giant monsters like these either hide in caves to take naps and spend the winter with low energy consumption, or enjoy unique talents and geographical advantages like the Great Fire Spirit Torch in Xushan, or receive support from a powerful country. Otherwise, they will perish in an environment with scarce spiritual energy.
This giant viper probably possessed the latter two elements, otherwise King Yao would not have been able to keep this secret all this time.
It obeys the orders of Yao Wang, probably because its inner elixir is controlled by Yao Wang?
Wu Linghe suddenly asked, "Don't you think its movements are clumsy?"
Although he was a special envoy of Bega, he had been hiding in the protection circle of Qingwei since the war began, and he looked uneasy.
The order he received was to visit Yao Kingdom, not to fight, and he never expected that he would encounter such a large-scale battle of destroying other countries as soon as he arrived.
But when he said this now, his tone and expression were exceptionally calm, like a pool of stagnant water.
Yuan Xuan subconsciously turned around to look at him and saw that he was staring at the giant viper with an empty and deep gaze. Where was the uneasy look from just now?
It's like he's become a different person.
But Qingyang didn't care about Wu Linghe's sudden change, or rather, he was not surprised at all.
King Yao only knew that the main identity of this Bejia envoy was the son of the Grand Ceremony Guest of Lingxu City, but he did not know any further details:
He was an adopted son, adopted by the Hakka family in Dadian at the age of six. Three years later, he was transferred to Xushan to practice, and he did not leave the mountain and return home until he was sixteen years old.
"Yes." Qingyang carefully observed the giant snake's actions, thinking, "Although it is strong, it only acts on instinct. Why is that?"
No matter whether you are a great demon or a powerful being, the path of cultivation is full of obstacles and you will inevitably accumulate a lot of experience.
Their strength lies not only in their profound cultivation and strong physique, but also in their understanding of combat, grasp of timing, and comprehension of the supreme truth.
But this giant snake is indeed indestructible and powerful, but it has not yet shown a high level of combat awareness. Otherwise, Bai Tan would have fallen long ago.
Qingyang turned his head to look at King Yao again, and the white inner elixir in his hand.
"Inner elixir, control, um..." She pondered, "Could it be that King Yao is controlling its every move?"
The word "control" actually has different degrees of severity. She originally thought that the giant snake's inner elixir was in the hands of King Yao, so it had to work for him; but now that she carefully distinguished the giant snake's behavior pattern, it was actually like a giant puppet -
It fought however King Yao told it to, and did not show the ability to fight independently.
King Yao himself is not a cultivator and his understanding of combat is relatively superficial, so the giant snake he controls can only display the ability to charge recklessly!
But even so, the quality of the giant snake itself is too good and its combat power is too strong to be defeated by Bai Tan and others.
"This is not the Yin Hu." Wu Linghe said again, "This is the Dharma image outside the body!"
He said word by word:
"The external form of the Thousand Illusions Master!"
Qingyang was finally surprised.
"Master Qianhuan?" This big guy is also related to Master Qianhuan?
The corners of her mouth curved slightly: "It's such a pity that Bai Ziqi is not here."
