The Taotie has a head as big as a bucket, a mouth full of sharp teeth, and vestigial eyes that grow on both sides of its head. It is as small as a soybean and relies on its sense of smell to identify prey.
In the "Ten Thousand Demons Record" published by Kyushu, Taotie was rated as a first-order atavistic beast.
However, in historical records, gluttons always appear in groups, ranging from hundreds of thousands to thousands. Each time, they will cause disasters above level A.
A level A disaster, representing the destruction of a large city with a population of one million.
And this time.
Taotie appears in Akagi like never before.
Three hundred thousand warriors and tens of thousands of returnees looked to the sky, horrified.
The densely packed eggs fall like heavy rain.
"Fire!"
"Fire quickly!"
A general roared.
The staggered rune cannons were fired almost at the same time.
There is no need to aim at all because there are so many eggs.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Cannonballs weighing dozens of tons flew out and exploded among the dense eggs.
The oxygen within a radius of three hundred meters was evacuated, and a near-vacuum zone was formed in the center of the explosion. Under the action of atmospheric pressure, the surrounding air was sucked and squeezed inward, and the light became distorted.
A moment later, the core of the explosion that had shrunk to the extreme suddenly expanded, and a flame hundreds of meters in diameter instantly bloomed.
The wet eggs were swallowed up by the flames, the liquid boiled, the stretched egg skin expanded, and then exploded, revealing a steaming gluttonous body.
Thousands of degrees of explosive flames swept through, tearing and burning Taotie's skin and flesh, and the skeleton only lasted for less than a second before turning into flying ash.
The air wave of the explosion swept across and impacted, and hundreds of eggs were torn apart wherever it passed.
More eggs were blown away by the shock wave, flying out like cannonballs and hitting other falling eggs.
The deafening explosion was mixed with the whine of gluttons and the popping sound of eggs exploding upon impact.
Above Akagi, the flame flower of death bloomed, covering the sky.
Thousands of eggs turned into fly ash and exploded into a rain of blood.
A roar came from the back of the giant bird.
A huge shadow fell down, and after nimbly dodging a rune cannon shell, it dived at high speed.
"Hit me! Don't let it get close!"
More than a dozen anti-aircraft gun planes spit out tongues of flame, and the anti-aircraft shells formed a line and intertwined into a net, flying towards the shadow cover.
The shadow's wings spread out behind it, and then folded in. Its huge body was as nimble as a swallow, passing through the gaps in the fire net.
When it was five hundred meters above the city wall, its huge wings spread out and headed straight for the nearest rune cannon.
Only then did people see the appearance of the monster clearly.
It has horns on its head, its body is like a giant tiger, with two wings on its back, and its whole body is covered with lin armor.
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" records that one of the "four evils" is a third-level atavistic monster, which is very strange.
Its target is the rune cannon.
Around each rune cannon, there is a defense team of a hundred people.
Seeing a monster attacking, the soldiers all opened fire.
The dense bullets collided with the Linjia, leaving only a puff of sparks.
The third-level monster is already at the king level, and ordinary thermal weapons cannot break through the defense at all.
The second-level Qi Refiner who led the team saw that the situation was not good and quickly activated the magic weapon.
All I saw was a thunder hammer flying out with a harsh whistling sound.
That Qiongqi didn't dodge and let the thunder hammer hit him.
"Hit!"
The Qi Refiner clenched his fists in excitement, but the next moment, the flying thunder hammer was bounced away, and the power of thunder and lightning lingered around Qiongqi's body, making a sizzling sound, but Qiongqi was not affected at all.
It flapped its wings violently, whipping up strong winds, and its huge body nearly a hundred meters long slammed into the rune cannon.
Bang!
The huge rune cannon made an explosion and fell sideways.
On the base, rivets several meters in diameter exploded, roared through the air, and shot in all directions.
"Get out of the way!"
The Qi Refiner roared, and rivets weighing thousands of kilograms flew out at high speed and hit the crowd. The fleeing warriors instantly exploded into pulp.
The rune cannon fell over and pressed against another rune cannon, making a scalp-numbing friction sound.
The second rune cannon could not withstand the huge pressure and fell sideways again.
The angle at which Qiongqi hit the rune cannon was extremely tricky.
As long as they are not stopped, the dozens of rune cannons on this section of the city wall will collapse like dominoes.
Just then.
A third-level general flew out, holding a sword hand, and thousands of flying swords formed a circular formation above his head.
The huge rune cannon fell on the sword array.
The general vomited a mouthful of blood, his face turned from red to white, and he cursed, "Fuck, I can't stand it anymore!"
"Yan Laoer, let me help you!"
Another third-level general flew out, and the true energy in his body turned into immortal energy, condensed in his palm, and then shot out with a palm.
Bang.
Immortal energy surged, and the force of the shock was transmitted along the arms to the body. From the cuffs to the clothes on the body, everything shattered and flew away.
The huge force finally changed the direction of the rune cannon's tilt.
The two rune cannons tilted forward and hit the outer wall.
The violent collision caused the demon core array in the gun barrel to lose control. A shell was shot out and hit the cliff in front and side. Suddenly, rocks collapsed and smoke rose into the sky.
That Qiongqi roared angrily, turned around, and crashed into another rune cannon.
"Evil beast!"
A roar sounded.
A figure flew out and stood between Qiongqi and the rune cannon.
"It's Colonel Miao!"
Some soldiers exclaimed.
Miao Renfeng, a third-level and ninth-level monk, was sitting cross-legged in the air with his sword box placed across his knees.
With a tap, the lid opens.
"Green Willow."
An emerald green sword the size of a thumb flew out.
"Firefly."
A crimson sword flew out.
"Qingping."
"Mangosteen."
"Peach Blossom."
"荍蜉."
"Jingzhe."
When Miao Renfeng read out the name of the last sword, the seven swords floated quietly in front of him.
"disease!"
The seven swords formed a seven-star sword rays killing array, and the sword light flashed away like a thundering giant.
Before Qiongqi could react, seven holes had appeared on his head.
Blood mixed with brain matter and shot out.
Qiongqi's huge body fell on the city wall.
However, at this moment, more than a hundred huge gray shadows fell from the giant bird.
Miao Renfeng's expression suddenly changed. He grabbed the sword in the air and flew back to his hand. The other six flying swords whizzed over and stuck to the Jingzhe sword one by one, fitting tightly.
Miao Renfeng looked at the young city lord not far away.
You can kill the fourth level, why don't you take action?
Are we going to be used as cannon fodder?
Or should Akagi be buried with him?
As revenge against Guo Zhanshen and Ge Laohui?
However, 300,000 soldiers and millions of people in Chicheng are all innocent.
Miao Renfeng gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and shouted: "Everyone, follow me to kill the enemy!"
He held a giant sword in his hand and soared into the sky.
Dozens of third-level generals flew into the sky without hesitation.
On a section of the city wall that stretched for tens of kilometers, thousands of second-level monks took to the sky to face the gluttonous eggs that poured down like a torrential rain.
Blood and flesh, human and demon, collided together, blooming the most gorgeous flower of life over Chicheng.
However, when manpower is limited.
No matter how frantically the atavists fought, they could still block tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of gluttonous eggs.
Bang bang bang bang.
Eggs fall one by one on the city walls, on the city's factories, schools, parks, streets, and residential buildings.
The eggs explode.
One by one, the gluttons covered in mucus stood up from their egg shells, opened their nostrils, and greedily inhaled the air full of human scent.
