Chapter 95: Meeting on a Narrow Road
War is cruel, but it is also the fastest way to promote scientific and technological productivity.
For example, this official road was built very neatly because it needed to transport supplies and soldiers to the front line quickly and in large quantities. I don’t know what materials were used, but the flatness of the road is almost as good as that of a cement road.
This grain-carrying cart was actually equipped with shock-absorbing springs, and the oxen pulling the cart seemed to have been mixed with some alien species, so their four hooves were flying, and even with a load of more than 2,000 kilograms, they could still move very quickly and steadily, at least twice as fast as an ordinary ox cart.
This official road happened to pass by the small village where the massacre took place. All the bodies were collected within a day, and new graves appeared at the entrance of the village, adding to the desolation.
There were not many vehicles and pedestrians on the road, and I don’t know if it was affected by the entry of the demon soldiers yesterday.
Zhang Yang only paid some attention to his surroundings, but his main focus was on nurturing the armor-piercing cone.
About half an hour later, with a faint flash of white light, the armor-piercing cone in his hand was successfully enchanted with the confinement spell, but the quality was still unsatisfactory and was only a low-grade magic weapon.
But Zhang Yang was very satisfied, because the material used for this armor-piercing cone was extremely good, several times better than ironwood, so its armor-piercing ability was unquestionable.
The reason why he had to nurture it was to allow the armor-piercing cone to maintain the best resonance with his soul force field. Then he could activate the armor-piercing cone within the soul force field and kill from a distance, which was always better than close combat.
About an hour later, the official road turned into the deep mountains, and due to the slope, the oxen pulling the cart slowed down.
Sun Wencai was experienced. He was shouting at the front and asked the driver to park the ox cart outside the official road, where there was a large open space and a teahouse. Of course, the teahouse had collapsed and everyone was dead. Only a lonely pillar was left with the flag of Yuelai Teahouse hanging on it.
At this time, Zhang Yang had just nurtured the second armor-piercing cone, and he felt a little relaxed because he was not a melee profession after all. If he encountered an emergency, it would be useless to rely solely on the soul force field and the confinement spell. The fireball spell also needed to be ignited in advance, so how could it compare to this method of instantly defeating the enemy?
"Sir, the road ahead is all mountainous. The ox cart is loaded and cannot move fast, so we need to rest here."
Sun Wencai came over specially to explain to Zhang Yang, and brought meat patties and water bags, which was a very thoughtful preparation.
"No problem."
Zhang Yang simply uttered two words without saying much, and Sun Yat-sen left with many thanks.
As for Zhang Yang's low-keyness, he had his own understanding. After all, this was equivalent to making extra money in the process of taking on missions. Although there were many examples of hiring demon-slaying warriors as guards in Tianliang Town, this was an extraordinary period after all.
This is exactly the effect Zhang Yang wanted. Everything is self-explanatory. It all depends on Sun Wencai's own association. As a qualified small businessman, he is naturally good at dealing with people and can handle things in a stable manner.
The rest lasted for half an hour, and they only set off again after the oxen pulling the cart had rested enough. It was obvious that they wanted to cross the mountain road in one go.
Zhang Yang also got off the cart at this time and walked slowly behind, while releasing the soul force field and being alert to his surroundings. This mountain was covered with trees, deep grass, ravines and complex terrain. A mirage demon soldier might jump out at any time, so he had to be on guard.
Now he has a total of three armor-piercing spikes in his hand, and he has no time to nurture the fourth one. He hopes he can cope with it, otherwise he will have to give up the escort mission and escape first.
The official road on the mountain is very wide. It seems that it was built at great cost. It twists and turns like a big snake winding up.
The scenery is also nice, but there are no birds or sparrows around, the whole area is quiet, and even the chirping of insects is rare. It should be because the evil soldiers passed by yesterday and scared away all the birds.
Sun Wencai and the coachmen were all trembling with fear, wishing they could grow wings and fly to the Great Wall defense line. During this time, Sun Wencai kept looking back to make sure Zhang Yang was still there. Obviously, he was also afraid that Zhang Yang would leave suddenly, which would be terrible.
After climbing up a ridge in one breath, it's a downhill road and you have to walk a long way through a valley. The terrain is quite dangerous.
Zhang Yang observed calmly, but he didn't think there would be any demon soldiers hiding there, because since those demon soldiers had infiltrated the Great Wall, they were either spying on military intelligence or killing people, so why would they hide in the mountains? Unless -
Just as I was thinking about it, a strange roar came from the valley about two or three miles ahead, along with the sound of humans shouting and yelling.
Sun Wencai and others hadn't heard it clearly yet, but the old ox pulling the cart refused to move.
It was not until then that everyone noticed something was wrong.
"M-lord!"
Sun Wencai was so frightened that he was stammering and his face turned pale.
Zhang Yang had another idea. He believed that if the Mirage Clan demon soldiers appeared in this deep mountain, there was only one reason, that is, they were chased in by the Demon Slayer. So he was more worried about being identified. After all, he was a fake.
"Demon soldiers! They are demon soldiers!"
The guys suddenly started crying out. They were walking on a hill at the moment, so they could see far away. They saw a huge black shadow jumping out on the official road at the other end of the valley. It was running very fast and it must be a magic soldier from the Mirage Clan.
And behind the demon soldier, there were some human figures chasing, and it was obviously a failed ambush.
"what to do?"
Zhang Yang was in a dilemma. It seemed that he could only choose one between exposing his identity and completing the mission.
But at this moment, the huge Mirage Clan demon soldier suddenly split into two, leaving a demon soldier the size of a monkey, bouncing and rushing towards the hill at a faster speed.
This immediately reminded Zhang Yang of what he had overheard last night. The demon soldiers were bloodthirsty and left no one alive wherever they passed.
Undoubtedly, these monkey-like demon soldiers were still determined to kill the grain transport team they saw even when they were being pursued. They were truly cruel.
“Stand back.”
Zhang Yang drew out his sword and strode forward. At this moment he had already made his choice.
The monkey-like demon soldier was extremely fast, like a bouncy ball, bouncing dozens of meters each time and rushing over in less than a moment.
At this time, Zhang Yang could see clearly that this thing really had a monkey brain, four protruding sharp fangs, a short body, but two extremely sharp claws. It was obviously the kind of demon soldier that was good at jumping and chiseling open human brains.
"Die, the evil beast!"
After shouting, Zhang Yang held the long sword in both hands and slashed at the demon soldier exaggeratedly. There were many flaws, fortunately there were no experts nearby.
But this was a relief for the demon soldier. With a leap, his small body spun three times in the air and landed right behind Zhang Yang's head. This method of attack was indeed strange and unpredictable. It was difficult for ordinary people to react even if they were prepared.
Unfortunately, the demon soldier met Zhang Yang.
In an instant, the soul force field exploded, and secondary compression vibration occurred, followed by a confinement spell. Finally, a piercing cone flew out like lightning and pierced through the demon soldier's head in an instant, killing him instantly.
Then, Zhang Yang suddenly turned around and chopped off the demon soldier's head with one blow of his sword. Well, at least from the perspective of Sun Wencai and others, Zhang Yang used this mysterious sword move, and the demon soldier's head flew off. He was indeed worthy of being called a demon slayer.
"Bang!"
Zhang Yang stepped on the demon soldier's head and swung his sword to chop it wildly until the demon soldier's head turned into a paste.
He was destroying the body to cover up all traces. As long as his identity was not exposed, no clues could be left.
At this time, a kill information also quickly appeared.
"Successfully killed a captain-level Mirage Twin Demon Soldier."
"I got a complete demon soul, which can be sold."
"Obtain 50 units of magic blood, which can be used to carve magic patterns or draw magic pattern runes."
"You gain Wei Dynasty reputation +5."
"Because you are performing a hidden mission, this kill will be counted as a mission kill reward."
——
"He's actually a captain? And he's a twin demon soldier."
Zhang Yang was shocked and looked at the other demon soldier a few hundred meters below who was lagging behind in speed. He secretly thanked his luck, as the monkey demon soldier couldn't resist the killing intent and rushed up one step ahead, which gave him the opportunity to kill him. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if he had to face the twin demon soldiers at the same time.
Because it is obvious that one of these two demon soldiers is strong and good at defense, and the other is agile and good at attack. The combination of the two is absolutely tricky.
"It seems that my identity problem today will fall on you."
Zhang Yang became furious and picked up the armor-piercing cone he had just used. It no longer had any spiritual power and was a disposable item.
"roar!"
The demon soldier roared continuously with a hint of grief and anger, and even ran much faster, obviously wanting to fight Zhang Yang to the death.
“Well done!”
Zhang Yang also yelled, dragged the knife in his right hand, posed a handsome pose, and then rushed forward with murderous intent, but it was impossible to fight with the knife. He still used the same routine as before, and cast a confinement spell - huh? Ineffective! Zhang Yang was immediately shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. This power-type twin demon soldier actually used the same routine as the fierce beast, immune to mental control, and naturally the soul force field would be mostly ineffective.
But at this time, the two sides were only more than 30 meters apart, and there was no chance even if he turned around and ran.
Gritting his teeth, Zhang Yang pulled out an armor-piercing cone, and his soul force field exploded, instantly compressing to the critical point of materialization. He then wrapped the armor-piercing cone and threw it at the demon soldier.
His throwing skills were not as good as Wu Yuan and the others. The armor-piercing cone was obviously deviated by two or three meters, so that the demon soldier didn't even bother to block it and just pounced on him.
At this time, Zhang Yang also raised his long sword, roared and rushed forward, as if to chop him down with one blow.
The demon soldier did not dodge, but just blocked with one arm, and grabbed Zhang Yang's neck with the other thick arm. It had thick skin and flesh, and was extremely strong, so it was not afraid at all.
"burst!"
But at this moment, Zhang Yang roared wildly, and his soul force field that had been condensed and compressed to the critical point of materialization suddenly exploded, and air ripples appeared out of thin air. If it were an ordinary soldier, even a captain-level soldier, under such a mental shock wave, he would be dizzy for a few seconds, and an ordinary person could even be directly shocked into a vegetable.
However, since these power-defense twin demon soldiers are similar to ferocious beasts, they are largely immune to this terrifying mental shock.
So it just delayed it a little bit.
“Go to hell!”
In an instant, Zhang Yang controlled the two armor-piercing cones to fly up with difficulty and directly pierced into the demon soldier's eyes. This was because the distance between the two sides was less than one meter, otherwise the armor-piercing cones would not be able to fly.
After a successful attack, Zhang Yang didn't care about his image anymore and immediately rolled over like a lazy donkey, rolling a long way away.
Almost at the same time, the demon soldier let out a shrill roar and waved his two-meter-long arms wildly in all directions.
If Zhang Yang had not been prepared and dodged in advance, he would have been torn into pieces by now.
"How hateful! If there were a fire right now, would I let you show off?"
Zhang Yang thought hatefully and retreated quickly and silently. He no longer planned to kill the demon soldier, but at this moment he saw the demon soldier's mouth opened as big as a small cave, and suddenly he had a bold idea.
"Without flames, I can't play with fireballs. However, the curved force field formed by the second closed circle can do more than just compress flames. Why not change your thinking? For example, compress the air."
As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Yang immediately used his soul force field to construct a second closed circle and opened the curved force field. In an instant, the surrounding air was sucked in like a tornado.
When the demon soldier heard the noise, he immediately rushed over with a roar.
Zhang Yang did not move, but concentrated on operating the curved force field. When the air inside was compressed to five times in one breath, the demon soldier had already rushed forward.
"go!"
The fourth closed circle was constructed, and an air ball with five times the atmospheric pressure rushed directly into the mouth of the demon soldier.
"die!"
Zhang Yang swung his sword suddenly and precisely. With one slash, the demon soldier's extremely powerful body expanded like a balloon that was inflated. Then with a "bang", it exploded. The sky was filled with broken limbs and blood.
Zhang Yang stood there holding a knife, like a demon!
