Ghosts in the underworld can be roughly divided into four categories: gods, demons, humans and beasts, and further subdivided into various types of ghost clans.
This snake-bone ghost is a human soul that can super-control all poisonous snakes in the underworld with its thoughts, and is resistant to all snake venoms; and the original snake-bone ghost was a female Miao witch who practiced poison in the world.
When their bodies died and their souls entered the underworld, they had the ability to control poisonous snakes in the underworld. In addition, they liked to hang some snake bones on their head ropes, so this ghost tribe was named Snake Bone Po.
Later, those of them who were not reincarnated married other human souls and had children. However, all the female ghosts they gave birth to had the ability to control snakes, and because venomous snakes came and went quickly and were highly lethal, Emperor Fengdu issued an order: All snake bones
Po ghosts must live in the wasteland south of Xuanyan Continent and guard the gold mines for him.
The main purpose is to prevent others from stealing the mines, or miners from hiding the mines secretly.
However, because the Snake Bone Woman has been dancing with poisonous snakes for a long time, she will always be eroded by snake venom unintentionally. Therefore, the skin of future generations of ghosts will turn into snake scales. This may be the case all over the body, or on the neck, cheeks and
Arms like this make their appearance even more indescribably weird.
Bai Jin has been in the underworld for a long time. In the past, he did not always think of himself as a big boss like other generals. He often read books and newspapers. He knew very well that Snake Bone Po would never leave the gold mines in the south due to the decree of Emperor Fengdu.
Suddenly, a large number of people appeared in front of the south gate of Jiuyou Kingdom in the south of the valley, which made him feel uneasy.
"Approximately how many snake-bone ghosts are there?" He was still in shock. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw dust flying outside the mouth of the valley in the south. In the windy wood forest, where the branches were rustling like jade in the wind, there were dozens of them with red skin and arms and legs.
The burly human soul with muscular beard, waving the thick mace in his hand, rushed out of it.
They exhaled hot air from their mouths and noses, striding towards Chongshan Pass with great force. When they left deep footprints on the ground, they would also block the hundreds of trees that blocked the road. It would take two or three human souls to surround them.
The huge wind-sounding tree that lived there was knocked down and broken.
"Powerful mountain ghost?" Staring at the menacing mountain ghost, Bai Jin was stunned, gripped the hilt of the long sword at his waist, and frowned.
Sawdust flew everywhere and dust rose, followed by countless snake-bone women. The scales on their bodies shone in the afterglow of the setting sun. The two snakes in their hands grinned, shook the letter, and let out bursts of "hissing"
"sound.
This is a large army, Du Ziren's army. Judging from the endless line of troops and the endless clouds of dust brought up by the advance, there are at least fifty to sixty thousand enemy troops.
The rumbling and muffled footsteps were getting closer and closer like an angry tide, and even the earth and cliffs were trembling slightly.
"Blow the horn, the whole army is ready to fight!" Bai Jin didn't have time to think about the reason for the sudden attack. He just shouted loudly at the soldiers who were alarmed by the sound of running mountain ghosts and came out of the caves and pavilions to watch, and waved to Zuo Fan:
"Hurry and prepare for the air strike. Wait for my order to start the air strike again!".
Zuo Fan nodded in response, the dragon's roar resounded throughout the valley, and the Chilong took him soaring away. The melodious and powerful horn sound also sounded along with it.
Xiao Jiajun and Jiuyou Army took their positions one after another, holding their breaths and raising their firecrackers, aiming at the mouth of the valley. The Qubu also closed the gate of Wubao, took their bows, crossbows and firecrackers, and climbed onto the tower.
In the blink of an eye, the powerful mountain ghosts rushed into the valley. The human souls, which could not even speak ghost language and could only howl, continued to move forward, heading straight for the pass.
A large number of snake-bone women followed closely behind like a galloping black tide.
The hell ghost bats hanging upside down on the branches in the valley were immediately frightened. They all screamed and screamed, soared into the sky and fled in all directions.
The incident happened suddenly. After a brief surprise, Bai Jin calmed down. When he saw the invading enemy entering the valley, he immediately raised his sweaty right hand without hesitation and swung forward suddenly.
The next second later, the iron arrows and bullets were fired one after another as densely as locusts, causing a "whoosh" sound to break through the air and heading towards the enemy.
The roaring artillery fire also drew bright arcs in the air with blazing flames, and landed accurately near the mouth of the valley.
Loud bangs were heard one after another, and artillery pieces were smashed down. There were explosions, earth and rocks were overturned, and scorching air waves swept through the flames. Amid the loud bangs, they rose up like a whirlpool, bringing with them bursts of hot wind.
More than a hundred people rushed too fast, and the snake-bone woman who was already in the valley was unable to dodge. She was affected by the dense explosion, and was immediately knocked upside down or turned into a pile of broken limbs and minced meat under the fierce fire.
Many people were burned by the heat wave and flames swept away by the explosion, and their skin and flesh were blurred, and they instantly turned into fire ghosts.
Most of the remaining ones were also riddled with holes by fire cannons.
After being improved by Lai Yueqi, the gunfire of the Jiuyou National Army could not only be fired continuously, but also the range and power were greatly improved. Even the armor made of fine steel could be dented by the bullets; but what could be done for the dozens of powerful people who rushed at the front?
The mountain ghost had rough skin and thick flesh. Even after being shot dozens of times, he still rushed forward several feet with injuries. Then he suddenly fell to the ground and threw up a trail of dust. He convulsed and died.
Seeing that the enemy army had suffered heavy casualties in an instant, the Nine Nether Army had the upper hand. The snake-bone women invariably made snake-like hissing sounds from their mouths. The poisonous snakes climbing on their arms gave orders and quickly climbed down.
Braving the gunfire, he quickly swam forward a few feet, shrunk his body, and shot up from the ground.
Tens of thousands of venomous snakes suddenly flew up and shot, creating streaks of red or cyan light and shadow in the air, which was really spectacular. With their fangs exposed, they were like arrows flying from strings, flying through the hail of bullets and pounced on the plank road and rope bridge in the blink of an eye.
The defenders on top.
The defenders had almost never seen a venomous snake that could leap dozens of feet off the ground. They were caught off guard and had no defense. After being easily bullied by the venomous snake, it accurately bit the neck and staggered down with a scream.
He fell to the ground, foamed at the mouth, twitched for a moment, rolled his eyes and died.
Just after it bit a soldier to death, the poisonous snake immediately let go, raised its neck, raised its head, and uttered a message before heading towards the other soldier.
The panic-stricken Chongshan Pass was filled with shrill screams, mixed with continuous curses; while the artillery bombardment of the Jiuyou National Army stopped, and the attack dropped sharply.
The shadow of the sword flashed, and Bai Jin, filled with anger, held a long sword. After killing several poisonous snakes that bullied him, he stood leaning on the railing with the sword in his hand. His bright red cloak fluttered in the wind, and the pair of phoenix eyes under the dragon's eyebrows were filled with fear.
Angry, looking straight ahead at the endless stream of enemy troops pouring into the valley, as if they were jumping with scorching flames.
There was a sudden chaos above the pass, and the enemy troops below were still filing in. In addition to the snake-bone women, there were also many green-skinned one-horned mountain ghosts with four hands and a single horn in the middle of their foreheads from the south.
.
They were fully armed, with a round war drum hanging in front of their abdomen, holding a shield across their chests in one hand, and quickly dancing the drumsticks in their hands, beating the war drums in front of them like raindrops. The other two big hands bent upward, pulling long
The nest cart tied to the other end of the rope was following them into the valley.
The war drums beat urgently, and rockets were shot out from the watchtower of the chariot one after another. With the firelight that echoed the blood-like afterglow of the setting sun, they flew towards the rope bridge connecting the two mountain walls.
Within a moment, there were screams and screams coming from the pass one after another, and many plank roads and cable bridges also caught fire. Fortunately, these plank roads and cable bridges used iron cables and iron pillars when they were built, so the losses were not huge.
It's not too big. But it's also covered with wooden boards, and the place where the fire started was all covered with these wooden boards.
Thick smoke rolled down, and some of the Nine Nether Army were directly hit by rockets. The flames traveled quickly with their shirts, turning them into fire ghosts in an instant, screaming and running around, and finally stumbled over and fell off the rope bridge.
The long screams and the muffled sound of soldiers falling from high altitudes intertwined and echoed in the valley.
Bai Jin leaned over, picked up the shield left by a dead soldier, and placed it in front of him. Hearing the "duh! duh!" sound caused by the rockets hitting the shield, he silently warned himself: "It's not the time yet.
All enemy troops must be put into the valley before an air attack can be carried out."
"Hold your position and kill the enemy bravely!" Bai Jin looked around and saw that the guards around him were dead and wounded. His anger became even more intense. He opened his mouth and shouted angrily, "Prepare a fire attack!". The words just resounded through the valley, and many of them had already been solved.
The soldier who was ejected from the poisonous snake beside him turned around and entered the cave built on the mountain wall.
Whether it is the Xiao Family Army or the Jiuyou Army, even the Qubu militiamen who guard Wubao in the valley are well-trained and fearless in the face of danger. A momentary panic will not make their entire army disorganized; in a flash, they
Many large, round wooden barrels have been moved out of the cave and rolled down the cliff one after another from the plank road.
As soon as the wooden barrel hits the ground, it will most likely break into pieces immediately, and streams of viscous liquid with a pungent smell and as black as ink flow out of it, spreading out in the valley in less than a moment.
In addition to the soil and gravel, even the creeks and swamps across the valley were instantly dyed black. These liquids were the fierce fire oil also known as stone paint.
The Snake Bone Woman's poisonous snake attack increased instead of decreasing, and the One-Horned Mountain Ghosts pulled the nest car to the pass, pulled out the giant ax from their waists, held a shield in one hand and waved the giant ax in the other, and continued to beat the war drum with the other hands, heading towards
He rushed towards the Wubao in the valley.
The artillerymen of Jiuyou State, who had stabilized their position, returned to the artillery standing on the plank road. Under the protection of their companions, they calmly loaded their ammunition and aimed at the enemy in the valley.
The explosion happened again, and the earth and rocks in the valley were shaken by the air wave and flew up again. The snake bone woman and the mountain ghosts who happened to be at the explosion point were thrown away screaming with blood.
Flames splashed everywhere, and fierce fire oil was ignited one after another, immediately turning into a sea of flames under the pass. Most of the enemy troops were buried in the sea of fire before they could react; the nest cars also caught fire one after another without exception, and they were not ejected into the
The poisonous snakes in the pass also kept twisting under the flames and turned into ashes in an instant.
The screams kept coming, and the burning smell filled the air! (To be continued)
