Wang Yao tried riding the Cloud-Swallowing Beast, and almost caused a mess. The reason was that his army was mainly composed of demons, and these demons reacted too strongly to the Cloud-Swallowing Beast. Many low-level demon soldiers couldn't even walk properly after smelling the Cloud-Swallowing Beast's scent.
The army's formation consisted of a small group of Netherworld Ghosts who served primarily as scouts, followed by 10,000 Bone Shattering Wolf Demons as the vanguard.
Then, the central army consisted of 50,000 cockroach demons, locust demons, ant demons of the Yi clan, rat demons of the Shu clan, and lion demons of the Shi clan. Behind them were 10,000 elephant demons of the mammoth clan, and then more than 20,000 ghosts of the underworld to serve as the rearguard of the entire army.
So Wang Yao was surrounded by a bunch of cockroaches, locusts, ants, and rats. The Cloud-Swallowing Beast had just regained its form and hadn't even made a sound when the cockroaches, locusts, and ants all collapsed. The rats and lions also collapsed to the ground, all of them running away in a panic.
Wang Yao had no choice but to quickly put away the Cloud-Swallowing Beast and ride back to his "Immortal's Sorrow". As for the demons and ghosts, those of higher rank naturally took off again after a short while, but those of lower rank took almost half an hour before they could barely move.
Then it took another half an hour to regroup the army. The army was severely delayed as soon as it set off. Wang Yao didn't have the means like Yue Fei to lift the entire army onto the clouds and fly forward together. So he could only wait for all the demons to recover before continuing on his way.
Not far away, the Gale Ghost King, Lu Bu, and the underworld ghosts who remained at Bird Return Ridge were completely baffled, not understanding why the army had rested for more than an hour when they had only traveled a few miles.
Those who understood the situation couldn't help but secretly admire Wang Yao. This commander was truly shameless in order to wait for reinforcements to arrive!
