Chapter 257: Elite troops enter the arena

The war of gods begins, and the funeral tribe gradually wakes up from their slumber. They dismantle the black tombstones in the back and rearrange them in the front.

This is also the fastest way to build a defense line.

The tombs formed an insurmountable barrier. Hundreds of black tombstones spewed out phantom fire at the same time, making it difficult for the enemy to break through this line of defense.

Even if some of them occasionally rush to the front, they will be blocked and intercepted by the zombies, and then eliminated with the help of the phantom fire.

Yan Jiu saw all of this.

The ghost world is waiting for the opportunity, but the strategic situation is not optimistic.

The enemy is no ordinary person.

The attacking Zhulu Kingdom's frontline vanguards are all bamboo beasts. They are composed of bamboo people and have different shapes.

Bamboo men are tall and slender, made up of bamboo tubes. Their bodies are extremely flexible and they have strong resistance to blows. Their weaknesses are that they are not fast and lack explosive power to cause damage.

But when dealing with the tomb array of the ghost world, the bamboo people's shortcomings are not a problem.

They had plenty of time to merge with each other and piece together into bamboo beasts. Some of the bamboo men became joints, some became spines, some served as limbs, some became body skeletons, and some formed heads.

Many bamboo people intertwined and crossed each other, participating in the battle in the form of bamboo beasts.

Each bamboo beast is like a two-story wooden house. They are usually covered with special bamboo armor. Their bodies make creaking sounds when they run, but they are light and flexible when fighting.

They can stretch their bodies greatly and turn and detour in all kinds of incredible ways, making it difficult for the ghost fires in the tombs to cross-hit them.

When burned by the phantom fire, the bamboo beast will shake off the bamboo armor on its back, or retreat immediately, replace it with a bamboo man at the rear, and then charge into the battle again.

There are two ways for bamboo beasts to attack.

The first is the simplest brutal charge, using the sword horns, bamboo spears and bamboo thorns extending from the body to pierce and tear apart the zombies while running at high speed, destroying the rammed earth, bricks and stones of the tombstones and even the ghost fire skeletons.

The second is to transport bamboo warriors.

Once the bamboo beast breaks through the fire net and reaches the inner circle, it will be able to spit out the bamboo man in its stomach.

At this time, bamboo warriors wearing armor and holding swords rolled out one by one. They would quickly dig open the black tombstones with chisels and pickaxes and rush in to occupy them.

The ghosts were powerless against the bamboo warriors. So once the bamboo beasts approached them, the ghosts had no choice but to abandon the tomb and retreat. However, not far behind them, the funeral tribe would build new black tombstones to continue to reinforce the defense.

The front line was deadlocked as the two sides repeatedly tugged at each other.

The weakness of the Phantom World's lack of mobility was gradually exposed.

Yan Jiu has been in the ghost world for many years and has a basic understanding of the situation here.

Although this kingdom of God has a population of nearly 100,000, most of them are ghosts. The ghosts gather together and live in the black tombstone, which can increase the lethality of the ghost fire and continuously feed back to this wonder.

Ghosts are weak in combat and lack equipment such as Ghost Armor. Therefore, they rely heavily on Tombstone Ghostfire and Tombstone Guardian Ghouls when fighting.

Once the two lines of defense were breached, the ghosts lost their ability to resist.

The core group of the funeral clan actually only has about 200 people. They are both extraordinary beings and variants of ghouls. Their birth rate is always low and their life span is long, but they cannot reproduce like ordinary people.

One less dead, one less.

The bamboo beasts also understand this. In addition to destroying the tombs, they specifically attack the funeral tribe that appear around the black tombstones to repair and build.

In comparison, the Bamboo People were more numerous, had more diverse strategies and tactics, and held the initiative.

After probing, the Zhulu Kingdom confirmed that the Ghost Realm lacked the means to fight back, and then divided the bamboo beasts to attack and pull from different areas and fronts.

It seemed that the bamboo beasts in many places were defeated, but Yan Jiu, who could move quickly with the help of sand, could see clearly that most of the bamboo beasts were feinting, and their real target was the funeral tribe. They were willing to sacrifice their lives to consume the real core strength of the tomb group. If the war between gods could not be ended in a short time, it would become a competition of comprehensive strength between the kingdoms of gods.

Yan Jiu had already understood this after personally witnessing the battle between King Wuji and God Bo.

But the Phantom World is not completely at a disadvantage.

The undertaker can use his body to collect ghosts. After the bamboo man dies, the ghost will be taken away and transformed, becoming a living force in the ghost world, and the tomb group will be slowly strengthened.

Therefore, although the scale of the tomb group is gradually shrinking, the individual strength is continuously increasing. The front line is basically composed of all second-level tombstones, and there are third-level tombstones supporting the rear.

Over the three years, the war intensified, soldiers from both sides continued to be killed, and each side's hidden forces gradually surfaced.

A fourth-order black tombstone appeared on the battlefield.

It has four floors, but the stone tablet is covered with bloodshot. The left half of the face of the skull on it is covered with rotten flesh, and the right half is only bones, with two balls of green fire in the eye sockets.

It chewed with its upper and lower jaws together, making a strange cackle.

The phantom fire that emanates from the eyes of the half-face skeleton has strong adhesion. It will ignite at a touch and will quickly spread over the bamboo beast, causing great lethality.

When the fourth-level tombstone first appeared, the two bamboo beasts were burned to ashes in the first fight.

The skeleton watched its prey struggling and wailing in pain in the flames, and let out a strange, shrill laugh.

Before the people in the ghost world could be happy, the half-faced skeleton sprayed flames at its own people, burning the four zombies to the ground, and eventually turned them into charcoal.

This crazy skeleton does not distinguish between friend and foe. As long as anyone enters its attack range, it will burn them for fun.

The fourth-level tombstone transformed from the [Black Tombstone] into the [Crazy Tombstone].

Yan Jiu finally understood why the fourth-level tombstone was no longer visible.

This kind of uncontrollable thing is a disaster in peacetime.

The hundreds of ghosts in the fourth-level tombstones were completely absorbed by the skeletons, which was almost a sacrifice and the cost was extremely high.

The Zhulu State immediately took countermeasures.

A bamboo beast that had never appeared before entered the battlefield.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

They resemble large, pointy-nosed dragonflies, gliding through the air on thin, broad wings.

Yan Jiu was very surprised.

The Zhulu Kingdom can actually control the high-altitude area. This is really the worst news for the ghost world.

He soon discovered that he had overestimated the Bamboo Man.

Bamboo birds cannot fly on their own. They need to land on the tall and continuous flying bamboo towers built by bamboo men. Then, flexible bamboo ropes formed by many bamboo men stretch the arrow-shaped bamboo birds and throw them out with great force.

The whole process is like archery.

The arrow-shaped bamboo bird is shot into the clouds, where it will then spread its wings and begin to fly with the help of the strong wind at high altitude.

This process requires tall and special bamboo towers, the precise coordination of bamboo people, the precise control of bamboo birds, and the use of weather and wind.

Yan Jiu secretly observed and found that the success rate of bamboo birds taking off was not high, and they often failed to take off and fell. I think this is also the reason why Zhulu Kingdom did not fully deploy it at the beginning. Like the fourth-level tombstone, it has a large loss and is immature.

Even if it succeeds, the bamboo bird cannot fly for long. It basically circles around the battlefield, draws an arc, and then turns back.

If the bamboo bird does not return in time, its altitude will drop rapidly, making it difficult to control and it may easily fall into enemy-occupied areas.

Although it is impossible to fly long distances, it is also true that it can occupy the commanding heights.

The strategic significance of bamboo birds is huge. Not only can they cross the tomb array and clearly observe the tombstone layout of the ghost world, but they can also further survey the location of the funeral tribe in the rear.

They began to send bamboo people into the depths of the ghost world, carrying out destruction and assassinations of the funeral tribe everywhere, making the crazy arrangement of tombstones in front of them like a punch on cotton.

…

Yan Jiuben was not prepared to take action.

This is a war between two gods and a confrontation between two kingdoms of God.

After all, he was just an outsider. Apostle Buluo also told him not to participate in the war of gods.

But not long ago, a group of bamboo birds suddenly took aim at him.

Bamboo soldiers dropped from the sky one by one, twisting their bodies but standing still unscathed. Holding bamboo swords and spears, they launched a swift and unceremonious attack on him.

"Finally I found you, heretic spy!"

"You are secretly collecting our country's secrets in the rear. Don't even think about escaping today!"

"You're going to die today!"

Yan Jiu was also a little helpless.

I originally just wanted to watch, but unexpectedly I was dragged into it.

When war comes, no one can really stay out of it.

That being the case.

Then enjoy the battle.

Yanjiu's blurred and sandy head regained its face, and he raised his hand and said, "Yancheng Yanjiu, please give me some advice."
