After the angel opened its eyes, without needing any spiritual knowledge or prediction of danger, Chen Jing felt an immense threat, as if he were being watched by some terrifying beast.
As the angel opened his eyes, the four human-faced worms suddenly pushed themselves up from the ground and managed to stand up.
The two men were leaning against a standard Longsword-IV rifle, each holding a straight sword.
They seemed to be dragging thin white tubes behind them, which stretched into the ground and into the 'carpet' of white, human-faced maggots, pointing towards the angels.
The quickest to react was Li Aidan. She instantly transformed into a wild beast, her hands forming claws, and pounced on the closest human-faced worm wielding a Longsword-IV rifle. No, Chen Jing felt it would be more appropriate to call them 'maggots' now!
Li Ai, who had come to the maggot-man carpet, used one claw to push aside the bayoneted rifle, then shoved the claw into the maggot-man's chest, shattering the bones and pulling out the spine.
"Kill!" she hissed.
Wearing heavy armor, Dao Nan found it difficult to cross the carpet of maggots. His weight was too great, and stepping on the maggots would create pits and splatter white tissue fluid, preventing him from entering the battlefield immediately.
Seeing the chilling scene before her, and knowing that her hidden power had already been exposed, Zhang Taoying gritted her teeth and decided to stop hiding. She began to use the innate magic bestowed upon her by spiritual energy, and a wild beast seemed to be roaring in the void as it was pulled into this world.
Upon opening his eyes, Chen Jing saw a thin white tube quietly emerging from behind the angel nailed to the stake. A stone talisman was entangled and wrapped around it, and mysterious symbols were carved on the talisman. Chen Jing seemed to have seen those symbols somewhere before.
Yes, that's right, on that portrait that He Lili called the 'Fate Concept', this symbol is in a very conspicuous position!
The angel opened its mouth, its lips connected by countless sticky white threads, which felt like they were being torn apart, but this could not stop its chanting, which was half holy and half blasphemous.
The stone talisman quickly condensed into two bolts of lightning that tore through the darkness. The lightning was not aimed at Li Aidan, who had already rushed into the battle formation, but at the two zombies of former Song soldiers following behind Li Aidan.
The lightning struck the two zombies, blasting them into layers of black smoke. Before they could get far, the two zombies collapsed to the ground, losing their ability to fight.
This electric light seems to be extremely effective against zombies and other ghostly entities!
Wearing heavy armor, Li Si was also unable to pass through the maggot carpet immediately, but a black mist-like shield appeared in front of her, protecting her as she moved forward. At the same time, she was chanting something briefly in a language that Chen Jing could not understand.
Unseen spirits seemed to have attached themselves to everyone, and Chen Jing felt that his strength and speed had increased.
"He's a priest of the Destiny Temple! Impossible!" He Lili's voice finally rang out.
At this moment, Chen Jing also rushed to the front of the group, slashing his straight sword 'Lone City' at the maggot-like man wielding the blade. The maggot tried to block, but missed. At that moment, an invisible sword pierced through its body.
As Chen Jing drew his sword and moved forward, he had already replaced the straight sword "Lone City" with the martial art "Dark Sword" using the "Small Illusion" technique. The real "Lone City" was hidden by the martial art "Dark Sword," which was invented after being improved by the source of darkness, while the illusory sword appeared in its original position to deceive the parry.
The enemy numbers are considerable, and their numbers must be reduced as quickly as possible. Therefore, Chen Jing chose a strategy of swift victory.
The maggot-like creature was stabbed, but it did not fall down immediately. Instead, it turned around and slashed at Chen Jing, forcing Chen Jing to draw his sword and dodge to the side.
"So resilient, it can still fight?" Chen Jing was somewhat surprised, dodging and blocking while looking for a second opportunity to attack.
Li Aidan, who had actually killed one of the maggots, was then surrounded and attacked by the other two. One of the maggots intended to fire, but after discovering that the weapon was unusable due to lack of maintenance, he used the bayonet-equipped rifle as a spear and stabbed Li Aidan. Meanwhile, the other maggot swung his sword to provide cover, flanking Li Aidan from both sides, instantly putting him in a dangerous situation.
He Lili pressed her head, her black hair moving without wind, blue light flashing, and electric sparks tearing through the shadows gathered in front of her, which she then launched out in an instant.
Wielding a longsword-IV rifle with a bayonet, he was attacking the maggots when He Lili's attack hit him. Although he did not fall, he was briefly stunned, which caused an opening in his attack on Li Aidan. Li Aidan stepped back and dodged the maggot's sword swing.
This lightning bolt seemed very similar to the magic of angels, and its power against inanimate objects was far greater than that against living ones.
Just then, two more maggot-faced figures rose from the ground, one beside Chen Jing and the other near Li Aidan, blocking their retreat.
They also had thin white tubes connecting them to the maggot carpet on their backs, but their bodies didn't look as plump as the other maggots; they appeared shriveled.
Now, Li Ai was almost surrounded and attacked by three maggots, while Chen Jing was facing an injured maggot and a newly awakened maggot.
Seeing that he had little room to dodge, Li Ai did not retreat but charged towards another bayoneted maggot in front of him, truly like a trapped human beast.
Pfft!
The bayonet struck Li Aidan's shoulder, but Li Aidan also tackled the bayonet-wielding maggot to the ground, tearing at its body with his claws.
Two maggot-like figures approached from her right and behind, about to attack Li Aidan, when the roars of beasts in the void became real.
"roar!"
A honey badger appeared out of nowhere, standing behind Li Ai and blocking the two maggots who were trying to flank her. This honey badger was a whole size larger than its normal counterpart, resembling a Tibetan mastiff. The quills on its gray back stood up like a hedgehog, and its claws were strong and powerful.
