Chapter 429: Internal and external cooperation, three-way attack

“Don’t be afraid, brother. I’m here to help you!”

A loud shout came from Shang Lu’s right side. Judging from the sound, it should be several miles away from him.

But this sound was as loud as thunder and instantly spread throughout the battlefield, allowing everyone to hear it clearly.

Shang Lu immediately recognized the identity of the voice.

“It’s Senior Brother Bai Lingxu! He’s here too!”

A few miles away, Bai Lingxu and Shang Lu, like each other, arrived here alone.

But unlike Shang Lu, Bai Lingxu did not see who was in danger.

But when he heard Lu Yang’s shout, he thought it was directed at him, so he responded without hesitation.

Bai Lingxu’s shout attracted the attention of the thieves.

“Here comes another one!”

“Kill them all and offer them as sacrifices to the gods.”

With his keen hearing, Shang Lu heard the discussions and curses of the grain thieves.

But because of the influence of the evil mist, it was not clear to hear. Many words were still intermittent, just like a phone call with a bad signal.

Likewise, these sounds seemed vague and uncertain in the evil miasma fog, making it impossible for him to locate the thieves by listening to the sounds and find out where they were hiding.

On the other side, Bai Lingxu shouted and immediately took action.

He made a witch seal with his hands and took out a scroll covered with witch patterns from his witch robe. When he opened it, he saw a picture of a group of flying crows.

Bai Lingxu held the scroll in one hand and pointed at the pile of corpses and ghosts with the other, chanting a spell and shouting:

“My dears, the feast is about to begin! Eat as much as you can and eat up all these filthy things!”

“Crash, lala, lala -“

Countless birds with black bodies and only blood-red beaks emerged from the scroll.

Like a black cloud, it roared and rolled towards the tide of corpses and ghosts.

These birds were not afraid at all when they saw the hideous puppet corpses and the terrifying demons. In fact, the stench and evil spirit emanating from the puppet corpses and the demons made them extremely excited.

Just because this is not an ordinary flying bird, but a blood-beaked carrion crow.

Their favorite food is corpses and ghosts.

At the same time as Bai Lingxu made his move, the He thieves hiding in the dark were chanting spells and vigorously shaking the bells and flags in their hands.

The bell controlled the puppet corpses, and the command flag controlled the rampant ghosts. The spells and incantations made by the thieves made the strong death energy here penetrate into the bodies of the puppet corpses and rampant ghosts, causing their strength to rise rapidly.

Although this method of forcing things to grow faster would cause the puppet corpse ghost to suffer great damage afterwards, or even cause his flesh to break and his soul to disappear, for the Hezei, as long as he could kill Bai Lingxu and Lu Yang, it would be a sure win!
“Ho ho ho ho—”

The puppet ghost, which was forcibly infused with death energy, let out a deafening roar.

Under the control of He Zei, they instantly split into two teams. One team continued to besiege Lu Yang and others, while the other team pounced on Bai Lingxu and instantly collided with the Blood Beaked Corpse Crow.

The blood-beaked corpse-eating crows relied on their sharp beaks and claws to continuously peck at the puppet corpses and rampant ghosts. Even though the puppet corpses’ bodies were as hard as iron and stone, they could not stop their attacks. The rampant ghosts would be pecked away with a large amount of death energy by their pecks.

Fortunately, the puppet corpse ghosts are not afraid of pain, and unlike ordinary corpse ghosts, they will be suppressed by the special aura emitted by the blood-beaked corpse crow and find it difficult to resist.

While being pecked by the blood-beaked crows, they also launched a fight back. They reached out their hands, grabbed the blood-beaked crows, and either tore them to pieces or stuffed them into their mouths, giving the crows a taste of their own medicine by chewing them up and eating them.

While the puppet corpse ghost and the blood-beaked corpse-eating crow were fighting fiercely, Bai Lingxu took out another scroll and unfolded it.

This scroll depicts a ferocious beast that looks like a wild boar, with a burly figure, fangs as sharp as knives, and covered in dirt.

But it’s the power of the raccoon!

Shang Lu, with the help of a wooden kite, saw this scene and was shocked.

No wonder Senior Brother Bai has been doing the “sow postpartum care” for so long. It turns out that the teacher of the Beast Witch class didn’t forget him, but this guy deliberately stayed with the sow after she gave birth…ah, with Li Li after she gave birth. By taking good care of her and getting closer to Li Li, he got Li Li from the Witch Academy to take his witch beast away!

As expected of Senior Brother Bai, he even dares to take advantage of the Witch Academy!

But with all his abilities, why is he still single? Why hasn’t he found a witch partner?

Bai Lingxu didn’t know that someone was teasing him behind his back.

He formed a magic spell with his hands, pointed at the scroll, chanted an incantation and shouted: “Come and help me quickly——”

As the magic power was infused, a yellow light burst out from the scroll.

Li Li, who looked like a wild boar, jumped out of the painting and burrowed into the ground.

It can be vaguely seen that the raccoon that rushed out of the scroll was not just one, but a big one, with seven or eight smaller ones.

It seems that Senior Brother Bai has learned the lesson of “Postpartum Care for Sows” very well. He has tricked the mother and the piglets into his hands…

The next moment, there was a violent vibration under the feet of the puppet corpse ghost.

The ground collapsed and cracks appeared, allowing the puppet corpses to fall into them one after another.

Before the puppet corpses could crawl out, mud and rocks on both sides of the crack fell down and buried them.

Although these puppets could not be killed, they were temporarily trapped.

Countless pieces of gravel whizzed up like flying arrows and cannonballs, bombarding the rampant ghosts all around.

It was true that these rampant ghosts were spirits, but the rubble was covered with an earthy aura and demonic power that could even defeat spirits.

“Puff puff puff puff——”

Amidst the continuous muffled thuds, many rampant ghosts were pierced and smashed to pieces by the rubble.

Seeing this scene, the thieves hiding in the dark did not panic.

They continued to chant incantations and wave bells and flags.

At the same time, they stepped on the Yu Step, changed their positions, and formed a strange formation.

Under their urging, the rampant ghosts that were pierced by the rubble and pecked by the blood-beaked corpse-eating crows suddenly screamed strangely, devoured each other, and merged rapidly.

In an instant, dozens or even hundreds of rampant ghosts, while devouring each other, turned into a huge, strangely shaped evil ghost, with hands, feet, and ghost faces all over its body.

At the same time, wounds began to appear on the body of the puppet trapped underground.

The foul-smelling pus and rotten flesh made these sores look like hideous mouths, devouring and merging with each other.

In just a few breaths, these puppet corpses piled up into a huge and strange monster of rotten meat.

With a “bang”, the mud and rocks covering them were penetrated. A giant hand formed by the fusion of multiple puppet corpses stretched out, smashed a piece of blood-beaked corpse-eating crows, and then supported itself on the ground to gain leverage so that the huge rotten meat monster could crawl out from underground.

The smashed blood-beaked carrion crow was torn and swallowed by the rotten mouths on the giant hands.

This scene is not only weird, but also very strange.

Fortunately, Bai Lingxu was knowledgeable and experienced. Although he was surprised by the weirdness and difficulty of these puppet ghosts, he was not scared.

He formed a witch seal with his hands and tapped his body several times.

I saw a little bit of evil spirit flying up from the blood-beaked crows and Li Li’s bodies and merging into his body.

This is the special ability of the beast wizard. Not only can he drive the wizard beast, but he can also borrow and gather strength from the wizard beast.

“Look, I’m here to destroy you!”

Bai Lingxu roared and rushed straight towards the giant rotten corpse and the strange big ghost!
It was also at this moment that Shang Lu, with the help of the full force of the He thieves’ spells, finally discovered them through the wooden kite and paper dolls.

“Found you!”

Shang Lu raised his hand and wiped his face, putting on the Nuo mask of the god with a pig body, eight legs and a snake tail. While escaping underground and pouncing on several rice thieves, he waved his hand and threw out a sword ball.

This sword pill was one of the several wizard treasures that Gongshu Ling gave him, asking him to help figure out how to improve it.

According to Gongshu Ling, this sword ball has both obvious advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is the extremely fast speed.

The disadvantage is that the enemy will catch it without any damage. Gongshu Ling tried many changes to make the sword ball more lethal, but the results were poor.

Even these changes either affect the speed of the sword ball, or make the sword ball not only be caught by the enemy, but also in turn, apply treatment and benefits to the enemy.

Shang Lu was very surprised after reading Gongshu Ling’s introduction to the sword pill. He felt that this sword pill had surpassed the scope of ordinary magical weapons.

He asked Gongshu Ling through the jade token, and sure enough, this sword pill was made by Senior Sister Gongshu using a residual spirit of unknown origin.

It was probably the chaotic power of the remnant spirit that was taking effect, affecting both the sword ball and the enemy.

Gongshu Ling wanted Shang Lu to help her think of a way to make the sword ball retain its speed, prevent it from being caught intact by the enemy, and at the same time be offensive.

But Shanglu’s idea was different from Gongshuling’s.

Since this sword ball can be caught by someone 100%, then from another perspective, it can hit the enemy 100% of the time!

This is awesome!

Even if the sword ball itself cannot cause any damage, it doesn’t matter.

Who stipulated that the sword ball must have lethality? Can’t it just be used as a carrier?

At this moment, Shang Lu wanted to verify his idea by using the several wheat thieves in the evil miasma fog in the distance.

After the sword flew out of his hand, it immediately made a “buzzing” sound and at the same time emitted a ray of sword light.

Extremely fast!

The distance of several miles was reached in an instant.

A thief was gathering evil spirit and ringing the bell with all his strength to control the corpse. Suddenly, his body moved on its own and his left hand, which was pinching his fingers, suddenly reached behind him.

It was not until he felt something in his hand that He Zei reacted and realized that his body had moved uncontrollably.

His face suddenly changed, and he thought to himself: “Not good!”

In the eyes of this thief, he was afraid that he was under some kind of witchcraft. But he didn’t understand why his body was controlled, and he didn’t kill his companions on both sides, but caught something flying from behind?
What is this thing?
Just as the thief was shocked and confused, he heard his companion exclaim:

“Old Qiu, what a good trick!”

“What a great move! Barehanded into the open field!”

“This sword ball came so fast, and the sword light looked so strong, and you were able to catch it with your bare hands – Qiu Sanzhang, when did you develop such a skill? You always hid your skills in front of your brothers, right?”

The rice thief Qiu Sanzhang was very surprised by his companions’ sudden jumpiness, but he soon understood why their companions reacted like that.

What he caught in his hand was actually a sword ball emitting dazzling sword light.

The sword light looked sharp and powerful!

Qiu Sanzhang was startled and hurriedly threw away the sword ball, fearing that if he was too slow, his hand would be chopped into pieces by the sword light.

As soon as he threw the sword ball out, the sword light on it became more and more intense, shooting straight into his brows.

The speed was so fast that his companions on both sides thought that he was doomed.

But no one expected that Qiu Sanzhang’s hand would reach out at an even faster speed, and he once again rushed into the sword with his bare hands and caught the oncoming sword ball.

It even “extinguished” the sword light that looked very strong and sharp.

After a brief moment of surprise, the companions looked at Qiu Sanzhang with a look of shock and fear, but also a little bit of dissatisfaction.

“Old Qiu, what do you mean? Do you want to show us your bare-handed sword-fighting skills?”

“I know you are powerful, but what’s the point of showing off in front of us? Show off to the God Emperor and the Immortals!”

Qiu Sanzhang was very confused.

He couldn’t understand how he had such ability.
Could it be that this body was secretly cultivating without telling him? Just to give him a surprise today?
Just as Qiu Sanzhang was thinking, he suddenly saw a piece of talisman paper flying out from the sword ball.

This time his hands did not attack on their own, but the spell on the talisman paper suddenly collapsed.

This made Qiu Sanzhang even more surprised.

What the hell is going on?! Is it not just my body, but also my evil spirit that is quietly cultivating? Has it reached the level of being able to destroy the enemy’s spells and magic by itself?
Qiu Sanzhang was excited, but suddenly he felt a violent force coming out from the collapsing witch spell, and it instantly turned into a raging flame!

“boom–“

Qiu Sanzhang was caught off guard and was hit directly by the flames.

The body instantly burned up, and the evil spirit and magic power were burned along with it.

While the raging flames engulfed Qiu Sanzhang, fireballs exploded and swept towards the other He thieves on the left and right.

These thieves reacted very quickly.

They were ready the moment the witch talisman flew up. When they saw it burst into flames, they either activated witchcraft to resist it or summoned evil spirits and death energy to protect themselves.

“Boom boom boom——”

The fireball hit the witchcraft, evil spirit and death energy, and immediately there was a thunderous explosion.

The thieves all changed color, and found that there was a magical power hidden in the flame!
Who can exert divine power on the talisman?
Moreover, although this divine power is not strong, it is extremely strong and masculine. The flames produced by the explosion are like the fire of the scorching sun, which will burn away all the evil spirits in the world.

This kind of fire made them very uncomfortable.

Several wheat thieves made hand gestures together, drawing more death and resentment from all around, and quickly transformed them into balls of black and smelly mud, wrapping up the divine fire in an effort to extinguish it.

As for Qiu Sanzhang’s life or death, the He thieves didn’t care about it.

Just as the thieves were concentrating on dealing with the divine fire, a figure suddenly emerged from the ground behind them.

It is exactly the Chinese rhubarb.

The moment he emerged from the earth, the Nuo mask on Shang Lu’s face suddenly changed into the Nuo mask of Tu Bo.

A powerful pressure from the Netherworld God was released from Shang Lu’s body and instantly swept around.

It was like a mountain pressing down on the rampant ghost and the puppet corpse.

This is the magical power that Shanglu borrowed from Tubo.

Some weaker ghosts and puppets were directly crushed and destroyed by this divine power.

The power of the remaining rampant ghosts and puppet corpses was also greatly suppressed, and their actions were restrained.

Even so, the divine power borrowed by Shanglu is still limited.

Otherwise, all the rampant ghosts and puppet corpses present would be “saved” instantly.

The two giant corpse ghosts formed by many puppet corpses and ghosts devouring each other were also suppressed by this Netherworldly divine power. Their strength was greatly reduced, and even the puppet corpses and ghosts in their bodies showed signs of tearing each other apart.

Bai Lingxu seized the opportunity and drove the raccoon and the blood-beaked crow to attack the top of the mountain.

Lu Yang, who was on the top of the mountain, also led ten county soldiers, and with all his sword energy, he took advantage of the situation to kill his way down the mountain to meet Bai Lingxu.

Several rice thieves were also suppressed by Tu Bo’s divine power.

The death and evil spirits in them were weakened.

The thief was horrified and hurried to see what happened.

But they only saw a beam of lightning and flames roaring towards them.

Under the illumination of lightning and flames, their shadows appeared in the evil mist.

A cloud of sand sprayed straight towards their shadows and hit them instantly.

“what–“

The thieves howled in pain.

Obviously only their shadows were hit by the sand, but their bodies were injured and bleeding.

It was also at this moment that countless hairs wrapped around them like a swarm of snakes, not only binding them but also being extremely sharp, ready to cut and tear them into pieces.

Before these thieves could even struggle to break free from the strange hair, the surging lightning and raging flames had already swept in front of them.
