The first brigade of recruits was divided into two formations: long weapons and short weapons. They were arrayed in the middle of the grassland, facing the direction from which the dog-headed locusts were flying.
"Order the second battalion to raid the formation with swords and shields." Ding Kui sent Ding Fen to deliver the order.
Several other soldiers spread out on both sides, and Ding Kui did not allow the soldiers to block his front.
"Is the dog-headed locust very ferocious?" Shao Dian Luan took "Yue Shang" with him and took it out to Ding Kui.
"Ordinary soldiers can deal with them. You don't need to take action. Just follow me and disrupt them."
Dog-headed locusts cannot fly for long periods of time, but their short-distance charge is powerful, stronger than ordinary cavalry. Especially when thousands of them gather together, they are no less powerful than the charge of a cavalry brigade.
As they approached, they discovered the human formation. Under the command of the leader beast, the locust swarm divided into three groups, ignored the few humans on the watchtower, and swooped towards most of the ground.
"Blow them up!"
This time it was not Ding Kui who gave the order, but Huan Qiao, the president of the Magic Guild. With a wave of his magic wand, an ice blast exploded in front of a swarm of locusts, and more than a dozen dog-headed locusts fell to the ground.
Qianyou held his staff in both hands and pushed it up. The eye of the storm suddenly appeared in front of a swarm of locusts. More than ten or twenty dog-headed locusts were swept in at once, and the strong tearing force broke them into several pieces.
Other magicians also threw out group attack magic, freezing ring, dance of fire crows, wind blade storm, fire wall, whirlwind, etc., to attack the most densely populated areas of the locust swarms at will.
Even though there are more than 2,000 dog-headed locusts in this group, the more than 20 magicians present are not panic at all. This kind of second-level monster can kill several with a group attack magic, and there are a thousand warriors in front to protect it. , don’t worry about the spell casting rhythm being disrupted, you can use as much magic power as you want.
The first batch of dog-headed locusts landed on the ground. They kicked the ground with their hind legs and used their strength to rush towards the humans in front. At this moment, Ding Kui shouted: "Do it!" and then took the lead in slashing out a sword light.
The bright red sword light shot out for more than a hundred meters mercilessly, cutting in half anything that hindered its progress along the way.
Shao Dianluan and Shao Dianye took action one after another, but their sword rays completely dissipated after being shot for a hundred meters, which was obviously shorter than Ding Kui's sword rays.
Whoosh, whoosh, several walls of fire lay across the front of the recruit group, forcing the dog-headed locusts to fly up before they could attack them.
Lao Qiantou led several listening archers to perform archery skills on the watchtower, using plum blossom arrows, round arrows, tail-catching arrows, blooming arrows, continuous arrows, etc., and started to slaughter enemies who were weaker than them.
"Concave formation!" Zhong Wei waved a small red flag.
Woo, woo, woo, the trumpeter blew a short trumpet sound.
The soldiers in the middle of the first brigade of new recruits quickly retreated, while the squadrons on the side stood still, but began to attack the dog-headed locusts that appeared in the middle.
The dog-headed locust broke through the magic blockage, avoided the sword attack, and jumped over the wall of fire blocking the road. Finally, they found an open space in front of them that they could borrow strength from, so they jumped over one after another.
"Swap the front and rear rows in the middle and attack!" Zhong Wei waved a small black flag.
Woo woo, dong dong, the trumpets and drums sounded in unison at the rear of the recruit brigade.
The soldiers in the front row stood sideways, while the soldiers in the back row lowered their weapons and ran forward.
Several Eyes of the Storm and Frozen Rings pressed against the concave clearing, forcing the Dog-Headed Locust to be unable to jump up, and was hit head-on by the charging soldiers.
Zhong Wei saw that there were not many dog-headed locusts, so he actually ordered the new soldiers to make simple formation changes.
The requirements for changing formations in battle are very high. It requires veterans of many battles or long-term training to do it well. It is a bit risky for Zhong Wei to start training with this group of new recruits, but there is not much pressure to deal with the second-level monsters, even if there are mistakes in the process
, there will also be room for adjustment and error correction.
Ao Yan and Ding Kun had been watching from the air without any intention of taking action. They could see that Ding Kui wanted the new recruits to practice their skills.
Suddenly, Ao Yan's expression changed, and a magic wand appeared in her hand.
Ding Kui on the ground was startled. He rarely saw Ao Yan use a magic wand to fight against the enemy. This was not a good signal. "Luan'er, come closer."
Hiss, a ball of white light shot towards the watchtower, and then a pale green figure jumped out of the water outside the grassland.
The muscles in Ding Kun's cheeks were tense, showing that he was biting his teeth hard; he clenched his fists and shot the green figure with a big knife.
Ao Yan's movements were no slower than Ding Kun's. The head of the staff flashed with white light and shouted: "Vacuum explosion!"
A space near the miserable green figure suddenly blurred, then twisted into a bubble shape, and suddenly exploded on the figure.
Ping, ping, two crisp sounds sounded in succession, the green light flashed twice, and the miserable green figure was blocked in the air and failed to jump onto the watchtower. It fell directly, and when it landed, it suppressed several dog-headed locusts.
At this time, Ding Kui saw the figure clearly. It turned out to be a spider the size of a millstone!
"Holy shit, the 'Green Belly Evil Spider', this thing was driven here by the forbidden curse!"
The green-bellied evil spider is a level six water and earth monster. It is active in the middle west of the Great Swamp. It masters a variety of innate magic. Its claws are thick, hard and highly poisonous, and the spider silk it sprays contains highly corrosive mucus.
The watchtower was caught in a web of spider silk. Old Qiantou pulled out a dagger and tried to cut off the spider silk. Unexpectedly, as soon as he cut a piece of silk, the mucus-stained dagger melted away quickly. He was so frightened that he threw away the dagger.
Fortunately, the mucus is not very corrosive to the wooden watchtower, otherwise the archers on it would be in big trouble.
"Be careful! The Green-Belly Evil Spider has a magic shield, so a single attack cannot hurt it." Huan Qiao shouted with anger, alerting several people on the opposite side of the Green-Belly Evil Spider.
Just now, Ao Yan and Ding Kun's attacks were blocked by the Green Belly Evil Spider's magic shield, but it was also blocked by the attack.
Four or five dog-headed locusts were pierced by the green-bellied evil spider's legs and were skewered on the spider's legs, unable to move.
The green-bellied evil spider swings its long legs, brings the dog-headed locust to its mouth, clamps one with its claws and sucks it.
The dog-headed locust shriveled up quickly and turned into an empty shell. During this period, Ao Yan and Ding Kun attacked again, but were still blocked by the magic shield.
"Oh, this is a Spider King, it has reached the peak of level six." Ding Kui led the people to retreat quickly, away from the feared level six monster.
The Green-bellied Evil Spider King is the strongest form of this kind of spider. It has the highest combat power among level six monsters. It can fight against an underage dragon, and it is completely worthy of the little dragon girl before the seal.
Ao Yan descended some heights, spread her hands, and pulled out a white lightning bolt between the magic wand and her palm. The lightning twisted her body, trying to break away from Ao Yan's control.
Ding Kun held a gray long knife tightly with both hands and stared at Ao Yan's flank, looking for the green-bellied evil spider's flaw.
"The first brigade of recruits dispersed in squadron units, put the dog-headed locusts behind, and formed a circular formation to guard against the green-bellied evil spider's attack!" Zhong Wei's face was heavy, and he walked towards Ding Kui with a spear in his hand.
"The magician team will first eliminate the dog-headed locusts, don't come close!" Ding Kui wiped the sweat from his palms and locked his mental power tightly on the green-bellied evil spider.
Shao Dian Luan stood close to Ding Kui, swallowing two mouthfuls of saliva, the tip of the "Bathing Phoenix" sword in her hand was trembling. She was very scared in her heart. An ugly monster like the Green Belly Evil Spider brought a lot of pressure to her.
Bang, the white lightning struck at the Green-bellied Evil Spider.
There was a flash of green light, and an invisible film blocked the lightning.
However, the white lightning stagnated for a moment, and the electric light shrank significantly. Then it accelerated suddenly and struck the green-bellied evil spider, causing a trace of green smoke.
Upon seeing this, Ding Kun suddenly took action, and the long gray knife flew away from his hand, and shot into the place where the lightning broke through.
The green-bellied evil spider shook violently, and two of its legs popped out, hitting the gray long knife in the middle.
"Hiss, hiss." It screamed twice in pain. Although it kicked the long knife away, there was a wound on its long leg, and dark green liquid flowed out of the wound.
Ding Kun was shocked and shouted: "You can hurt this evil beast, just break its magic shield."
"Long-range attack consumes its magic shield." Ding Kui retreated while slashing his sword light, trying to retreat to the edge of the attack range.
Shao Dianluan, Shao Dianye and Zhong Wei, who had just arrived, also pointed out their swords and spears and followed Ding Kui.
Puff puff puff, a row of thorns shot up from the ground, targeting several fearless knights.
Ding Kui did not dare to block the magic of the sixth-level monster, so he slipped back with his feet and slashed with his sword. Shao Dian Luan was brought to his side, and the "Yuhuang" slashed downwards, and he teamed up with Ding Kui to break a ground thorn.
Shaodianye and Zhong Wei both smashed the thorns on the soles of their feet, but were bounced away by the power of magic. After landing, they took seven or eight steps back before stopping.
After the green-bellied evil spider released its sting, all eight legs worked together, suddenly bounced up, and sprayed white light in the air at Ao Yan and Ding Kun.
Ding Kun transformed into a long knife in his hand, and swung the knife to slash at the white light, scattering the cobwebs and using the force to flip back.
Ao Yan didn't panic. When she saw that the white light was about to hit her, she let out a "whoosh" and teleported in front of Ding Kui. Without even standing still, she swung the head of her staff and released a vacuum blast. She was not injured.
Green-bellied evil spider, just to prevent it from chasing Ding Kun.
Lao Qiantou stared at the wet spider silk, and then he had an idea and said: "Light it on fire!"
Several archers quickly took out their torches and each lit a torch. There were torches and kerosene prepared on the watchtower.
Squeak, squeak, when the flame is close to the spider silk, it will make a sound like frying, and the mucus will turn into wisps of black smoke when it is exposed to fire, and it will also emit a fishy smell like salted fish.
"Great, this thing is afraid of fire." Although Old Qiantou has never fought against the Green-bellied Evil Spider, he has accumulated rich experience in dealing with monsters in the Lu Kingdom for a long time.
Ao Yan teleported again and came to the back of the green-bellied evil spider. She waved her staff and fired three wind restraints in succession. Ding Kun's reaction was not slow and he flew in front of her, slashing out numerous sword shadows to form a wall of swords.
The green-bellied evil spider had eight weak points and actually crawled in the air. Its pale green belly kept shooting out white light, trying to entangle the two most dangerous humans.
With a splash, two more green figures jumped out of the swamp.
Ding Kui took a closer look and saw that they were still green-bellied evil spiders, but these two were much smaller, two-thirds smaller than the green-bellied evil spider king.
Ao Yan shouted hurriedly: "They are spiderlings, kill them quickly!"
Ding Kui raised his hand and shot out the sword light, and moved towards the edge of the grassland, "Infuriate them, lead them to the edge and kill them, stay away from the spider king."
Shaodianluan and the other three heard the words and did so.
"Raise fire! Attack them with fire spears!" Old Qiantou had already stepped down from the watchtower.
