Yue Qing answered the door, Ling Xuewei quickly dressed up, got out of bed and opened the door, "What's going on outside? Where is Ye Moyan?"
"There is an invasion of Taotie. The emperor is on the city wall. His subordinates have just gone to see it. There are not many Taotie. Madam, you don't have to worry. Before going out, the emperor ordered you to stay in your room and don't go anywhere."
Ling Xuewei looked into the void. Sure enough, the city protection barrier had been opened, but her residence was too far away from the wall, so she couldn't see the situation clearly.
"I'm not going over. You go up with me and take a look, otherwise I won't be able to stay in the house alone."
Yue Qing thought for a moment, then nodded.
The two jumped onto the eaves, Kunpeng's eyes opened, and soon the situation outside the city came into view. There were dense crowds of gluttons outside, attacking the barrier in the night. Many soldiers had already been dispatched to launch attacks on the city wall.
War drums beat and spiritual energy dances.
Soon, Ling Xuewei's hanging heart relaxed a little. Fortunately, the number of Taotie was not large, and the soldiers in the city could still cope with it. In addition, the soldiers in the previous World War had accumulated a lot of experience in fighting against Taotie, so it was easy to deal with them.
It's orderly and not chaotic.
In order to minimize casualties, large-scale and highly destructive artillery and bombs were continuously thrown into the battlefield. Beast masters, formation mages, and ability users took the lead in attacking to reduce the number of gluttons. Within two hours, the battle situation stabilized.
"Great, this night is finally over. Fortunately, the empress has replenished armaments and weapons in advance, so we can destroy them so quickly tonight."
"Mother, it's windy up there, let's go down."
"etc."
Suddenly, Ling Xuewei vaguely heard a strange sound. There seemed to be something approaching quickly in the eastern sky, but it was too far away for her to see clearly.
"Go there and have a look."
Ling Xuewei said and disappeared.
"Hey... empress!!" Yue Qing hurriedly chased after her.
Ling Xuewei quickly shuttled and leaped through the eaves, and soon arrived near the city gate. She jumped up to a high place, activated the Kunpeng Eye again, and finally saw the thing clearly!
They were a group of insect-like monsters with purple glow all over their bodies. After hitting the barrier, they seemed to have discovered some treasure, and they were so excited that they started to eat the barrier.
As the spiritual energy poured in, they made a sharp scream, and more and more insects came in, densely packed, covering half of the sky.
Soon, the array master discovered that the barrier began to crack. These insects were very strange and seemed to have a natural binding force on the spiritual energy.
Within a moment, there was a bang and the barrier shattered!
Those insects swarmed in like sharks that smelled the smell of blood, and the gluttonous army behind them followed closely behind.
"ah!"
"careful!"
The jaw limbs of these insects can easily pierce through the monk's tough body, leaving a bloody mess, followed by a horrifying scene.
Those insects actually penetrated into the human body along the blood holes and began to devour them. After a while, the soldier was eaten alive, leaving only a pale skeleton.
This process only takes less than ten seconds.
The other soldiers who saw this scene took a deep breath!
These bugs are no weaker than the Taotie! There are even more of them, making it even more difficult to guard against!
What's even more troublesome is that these bugs can actually devour the human body's spiritual energy. They love spiritual energy even more than flesh and blood. The more powerful the soldiers are, the more bugs are surrounding them.
Without warning, the soldiers were easily attacked.
Coupled with the presence of the killer Taotie, many casualties soon appeared among the soldiers.
"Where do these bugs come from?"
Yue Qing's expression was solemn, because he found that these bugs were not the kind that should be found in Middle Earth at all. They had special textures, metal-like streamlined carapace, and slender screams, like cartilage, which could suck people into pieces in a few seconds.
Dried meat.
They are not afraid of meat and vegetables, and they will eat up any object that is stained with spiritual energy.
Screaming, wailing, moaning... it's like hell.
"Your Majesty, it's too dangerous here! I'll escort you back!" Yue Qing couldn't help but become nervous.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound, and they saw a group of insects rushing toward them. Yue Qing's spiritual energy became strong, and a fire dragon rushed out of his body, roaring in the air!
The dozens of meters long dragon looked up to the sky and roared away! It swallowed up those insects in an instant!
Yue Qing took Ling Xuewei and said, "Let's go!"
Suddenly, more than a dozen gluttons jumped out of nowhere and immediately surrounded the two of them. They were about to pounce on them. Several lightning flashes struck them hard! In an instant, they were split into charred black pieces!
"Young Master, are you okay?" Xiong Cang arrived with his guards.
Ling Xuewei shook his head, and Xiong Cang immediately protected Ling Xuewei and began to eliminate the Taotie around him.
"Watch out for those bugs!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another rustling in the air, and more spiritual insects swarmed over.
"Aura is useless against these bugs!" Yue Qing discovered that the spirit bugs swallowed by his fire dragon were intact! These bugs are so weird!
"Don't use aura!"
As soon as Yue Qing's long sword came out, he started to kill directly.
The guards also put away their spiritual energy, but there were too many bugs, and their outer skin was extremely strong. It was difficult to kill them with a sword alone, not to mention there were so many of them. After killing a group, more bugs rushed towards them. It was simply
Endless!
And those gluttons are very cunning enough to hide in corners, looking for opportunities to attack. If you are not careful, you will be stabbed by their tail vertebrae and dragged directly into the darkness to eat them up.
There was a scream, one of the guards was injured, Ling Xuewei's eyes turned cold, and with two bangs of the silver gun in her hand, she broke Taotie's tailbone and pulled the guard back.
The guard was very young. There was a bloody hole in his stomach, and his intestines could almost be seen. She immediately stuffed him with a pill. Her eyes were solemn and she said, "Xiong Cang, find a place to hide first."
Yue Qing gestured to the darkness, and then countless black shadows fell, it was Ye Zhi. As soon as they took action, the pressure here suddenly decreased, and they quickly exited the street and found a sturdy building to hide in.
The night demons were fighting outside. Ling Xuewei took the opportunity to take out a few boxes and opened them. Inside were densely packed firearms and ammunition, as well as several boxes of bombs and gunpowder.
"Use this."
Since they are so sensitive to spiritual energy, it is obvious that using the spiritual energy again will expose their position. The guards immediately took action and picked up their weapons to find the best aiming position.
These guards are all from the Independent Army. It can be said that each one has experienced hundreds of battles and is the best among the best. They have undergone the most rigorous military training, and they are naturally extremely familiar with using these firearms.
"attack!"
Xiong Cang gave the order and everyone started shooting.
With several bang bang bang sounds, the bullets shot out of the gun barrel, and a large number of gluttonous insects and strange bugs outside fell down, especially the bugs. There were too many of them, and many of them could be hit without deliberately aiming.
