Chapter 87 Shuiyue Loves to Eat
Lin'er and several lizard-like guards hurried to the city wall and soon arrived at its base. A quick glance revealed soldiers on the wall frantically firing arrows.
He climbed the stairs to the top of the city wall, leaned against the uneven battlements, and looked down. Not far away, a familiar old friend appeared.
Deer-headed Demon!
The Deer-Headed Demon mustered all its strength and rammed its head into the city wall. With a loud crash, the rocks collapsed.
Lin Er felt a tremor beneath his feet, which quickly subsided. Looking up, he saw a large section of the wall where he had been struck had collapsed, and a lizard-like soldier had lost his footing and fallen from the city wall.
The deer-headed demon stomped on him with its claw, instantly turning him into a pile of minced meat.
At the same time, the Deer-Headed Demon roared, emitting strange, demonic sounds.
A sapling quickly sprouted from the spot where the body was, growing at a visible speed. In just a few breaths, the sapling grew to three or four meters tall.
Numerous roots broke through the soil and spread into the compacted loess inside the city wall through the breach. Many stones were pushed apart and fell off the outer wall.
If it continues casting the spell, the entire city wall will be destroyed.
Lin Er was secretly amazed.
The soldiers noticed this and immediately started shooting arrows at the deer-headed demon.
The arrows bounced off the stag-headed demon's skin with a snap, with only a few piercing its flesh.
Lin Er took a closer look and found that it wasn't very deep.
The Deer-Headed Demon's wounds were healing rapidly; this minor injury had no effect on it.
At this moment, the guard next to Lin Er shouted loudly.
"Use the siege crossbows immediately!"
Without his prompting, many lizard-like beings had already gathered around the ballistae on the city wall, frantically turning the winches, the machines emitting dull clattering sounds.
In addition, soldiers were loading crossbow bolts. Each bolt was about 1.5 meters long and looked like a javelin. Runes were engraved on it, and the arrowhead emitted a faint green light.
Lin Er looked around the city wall. There was one of these ballistae on each side of the wall, and two of them had already been moved from other directions.
Three ballistae fired in succession, the bolts piercing the air and leaving trails of green flashes.
Three consecutive "pfft" sounds rang out, followed by an extremely miserable howl from the Deer-Headed Demon, the sound waves resounding through the sky, causing many lizard-like demi-human soldiers to cover their ears.
Lin Er also frowned. He looked up and saw that the Deer-Headed Demon had been shot in the chest, shoulder, and stomach with arrows.
The Deer-Headed Demon was still too big; the ballista was practically the bane of such a behemoth.
At this moment, the lizard-like soldiers shot arrows at the deer-headed demon again. Perhaps because it was severely injured, many ordinary arrows pierced its skin and penetrated its flesh an inch or two.
The deer-headed demon howled several times and fled into the distance without looking back.
The lizard-like beings cheered and opened the gates, and a troop of lizard-like soldiers filed out.
Seeing this, Lin Er also came down from the city wall and mingled among them.
After chasing for several hundred meters, they finally caught sight of the Deer-Headed Demon's back.
Upon seeing them, the deer-headed demon roared and turned to charge back.
"Quickly, organize a spear formation!"
Seeing that more than two thousand lizard-like soldiers had formed a spear formation, Lin Er quietly retreated, maintaining a distance of ten meters.
Soon, the Deer-Headed Demon leaped up and crashed headfirst into the spear formation, instantly killing or injuring seven or eight soldiers.
Seeing that the stag-headed demon's attention was entirely focused on the lizard-like soldiers, Lin Er leaped forward and slashed at the stag-headed demon's hind leg with his sword.
With a soft splatter, a large amount of blood gushed out, leaving a deep wound on the hind leg of the Deer-Headed Demon.
The deer-headed demon let out a scream, stumbled and almost fell. It was frightened and turned around without hesitation to continue fleeing into the distance.
As for the lizard-like soldiers, more than half of them were killed or wounded. The surviving soldiers were terrified and dared not pursue the Deer-Headed Demon after he fled. They all ran back to their camp.
"This time it seems like we really have a chance to kill it."
After a brief moment of thought, Lin Er turned and chased after the Deer-Headed Demon.
He deliberately kept his distance, chasing the Deer-Headed Demon for several kilometers before speeding up and blocking his path after confirming that there were no outsiders around.
"Water Moon, attack it!"
Lin Er released Shuiyue and immediately gave her orders.
Without saying a word, Shuiyue went to meet it and cast a frost spell on the deer-headed demon, trying to freeze its limbs.
Lin Er also summoned a flying sword, and a white sword shadow flew out, slashing towards the face of the Deer-Headed Demon.
The deer-headed demon reacted extremely quickly, using its antlers to nudge the flying sword with a loud bang, sparks flying everywhere. It then extended its claws and slammed them down on the flying sword.
Just then, Lin Er released another fireball and threw it at the Deer-Headed Demon. Due to its large size, it was unable to dodge in time and was hit instantly.
The fireball exploded, turning into a pile of flames that landed on the back of the stag-headed demon, instantly igniting its thick mane.
The Deer-Headed Demon roared twice and struggled to roll on the ground.
"This guy seems to be afraid of fire."
Lin Er retrieved his flying sword, gathered two streams of spiritual energy, and then hurled an even more ferocious fireball at the Deer-Headed Demon. The demon tried to dodge, but the fireball curved and struck the Deer-Headed Demon precisely on the head.
A massive burst of flames erupted and spread rapidly throughout the entire body of the stag-headed demon, its skin emitting hissing white smoke and carbonizing a large area.
"Is this guy made of wood?"
Lin Er sighed and summoned his flying sword again to slay the Deer-Headed Demon. At this moment, the demon had no interest in the flying sword and was rolling around on the ground trying to put out the fire.
He wouldn't let the Deer-Headed Demon have his way, so he silently recited a sword incantation and added three strands of spiritual energy to the Moonlight Sword.
The Moonlight Sword hummed, emitting a dazzling silver light, and shot towards the Deer-Headed Demon's chest, leaving a beautiful trail of silver light.
In an instant, a silver light pierced through the deer-headed demon's chest, tearing open a fist-sized hole.
Lin Er retrieved his flying sword, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
He looked up and saw that the Deer-Headed Demon had stopped struggling and collapsed to the ground.
"Finally dead."
At this moment, a beautiful azure light emanated from the Deer-Headed Demon's body, and this light flew directly into Lin Er's hand.
As the azure light dissipated, the Deer-Headed Demon's massive body crumbled into quicksand, turning into a pile of wood chips. Only its enormous antlers remained in place.
[Wood Spiritual Energy: Contains a vast amount of pure spiritual energy, which can be directly refined. Ingesting it grants immunity to low-level toxins.]
[After a Qi Refiner gathers all five elements of spiritual energy, they can perform Heavenly Foundation Establishment using a Foundation Establishment Pill. Gathering all three elements of spiritual energy, combined with a Foundation Establishment Pill, allows for Earthly Foundation Establishment. Without any five elements of spiritual energy, a Foundation Establishment Pill can be used to perform Human Foundation Establishment.]
"This is the spiritual energy of wood. It can even make one immune to toxins. Doesn't that mean it can resist this hallucinogenic poisonous fog?"
Lin Er was very excited after seeing the introduction.
This wood-elemental energy certainly cannot be refined like ordinary spiritual energy; that would be a complete waste.
"I'll be drinking the elixir later, so I'll have Shuiyue store this spiritual energy for now."
Lin Er withdrew his gaze and was about to call Shui Yue over when he hesitated for a moment.
Shuiyue lay down directly on the pile of wood chips from the Deer-Headed Demon, her eyes shining with a strange light as if she had seen a delicious meal.
Her small mouth split open, instantly turning into a gaping maw, and she swallowed a huge amount of wood chips in one gulp.
Shuiyue's body was originally transparent. When the wood chips entered her stomach from her mouth, they instantly melted and were refined into transparent water droplets.
As Shuiyue ate more and more, her body also grew.
After Shuiyue refined all the wood chips, she actually grew more than an inch taller.
