The black mist spread wider and wider, swallowing up the entire cedar forest like a black hole. The majestic momentum was more terrifying than the distant storm clouds seen at sea.
Countless monsters with deformed shapes marched slowly, led by that strange creature, to the border of the cedar forest.
When they arrived, they suddenly stopped moving, gathered at the edge of the forest, and did not go any further for a long time.
The demon king, shrouded in black, looked up at the desert outside the cedar forest and the city wall in the distance. The huge tower reaching into the sky was faintly oppressing everything around him.
It is waiting, the legion is waiting, as if today is an auspicious day to kill.
And in a corner where all the demons had not noticed, Victor was curled up alone in the roots of a giant tree, with his legs crossed and his eyes closed, and his breathing rate seemed to have stopped.
There were countless monsters around, but not a single one noticed his presence.
And his Yin Shen, who cannot be seen by sight, is hanging above the demon army, carefully observing everything.
"As expected, these demons rely on the breathing of living creatures to locate each other..."
After using the Turtle Breathing Technique, Victor's physical body's life activities were reduced to a minimum and he barely breathed after the Yinshen left his body.
All he needs to do is hide his physical body.
This is the right bet!
But even so, these demons spawned by all things still frightened him, and his attention never left his body, fearing that he would be discovered by the demons around him.
Fortunately, after the demon army of the Wild Hunt arrived at the border of the woods, they focused all their attention on the direction of Akkad City and had no time to look for the humans hiding in the woods.
Time passed by minute by second, and finally, the mysterious sheep-hoofed creature standing at the front slightly raised its dark head to the side and back, just in time to look into the eyes of the Yin God floating in the air!
Victor felt numb all over for an instant, and noticed something strange from that line of sight.
"How can it still see me?"
This strangeness was so strong that he was so frightened that he decided to quickly withdraw into his physical body.
However, this uncomfortable sight was finally withdrawn by the mysterious creature.
"Wild Hunt" turned its head, gently stepped out with its right hoof, and was the first to step out of the fir forest.
Immediately afterwards, the demon army that had been waiting for a long time finally took off and followed it towards the desert...
Victor finally breathed a sigh of relief, but when he relaxed, he recalled the way the creature looked at him just now.
Why does that look look so much like a human’s gaze?
Could it be that this so-called "Humbaba", or "Wild Hunt", is actually a human being?
Just when Victor was thinking, he saw another figure, held hostage by a group of demons and locked up in a cage of thorns...
No, when Victor looked carefully, he discovered that the thorn cage was actually the belly of a tree-shaped demon.
And the guy in the cage is actually Klein Besarius.
He's not dead yet?
When Victor saw Klein, he seemed to have passed out. Did this demon army not kill him immediately? Did it have any other purpose?
Victor frowned, hesitating whether to find a chance to rescue him. After all, he didn't know anything about this mysterious Uruk dynasty, and the other party might also know some hidden secrets.
While the Wild Hunt army was marching, beacon smoke was already rising in the city of Akkad...
Countless soldiers rushed to the city wall, put on all their equipment, strung their bows and strings, and raised their spears and other cold weapons.
The stone sculptures under the arrow tower on the city wall began to move, becoming living giant statues. They shook away the stones on their bodies and gathered under the city wall to guard the majestic city gate.
The sky guards who had appeared before also began to take off from the city, always paying attention to the movements of the black mist.
In front of the temple of the King of Heroes, the high priest held his staff and quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead while the people around him were bowing in the direction of the cedar forest.
"Damn...why now?"
He cursed secretly, and then heard the people shout loudly: "Great envoy of the gods, priest of the King of Heroes, the bridge leading to Tianting, the demon Humbaba has awakened, please use your divine power again to save the crumbling dynasty!"
If in the past, the high priest would have been ecstatic when he heard this prayer.
Because this is a great opportunity to establish his own prestige.
But things are different now...
The high priest looked back at the golden statue erected by the "eight-carrying sedan chair" and swallowed involuntarily.
The faith of the whole city is gathered in it, but it is constantly being depleted by him. All the confusion comes from that angry Bain man!
At the same time, the army of demons followed the black mist and came to the city. Countless arrows on the city wall were fired amidst the sound of horns.
Those bows and arrows were all coated with fire oil, but when they were shot into the black mist, they were like mud cows sinking into the sea, without any movement.
The glowing ball on the tower could not penetrate the black mist, and the shadows of demons surging inside had already rushed to the city walls and started fighting with the resurrected colossi.
Ripping, knocking, roaring sounds.
The soldiers on the Akkad city wall lowered their heads and shot arrows wildly downwards. However, the black fog blocked most of their sight, seriously affecting their accuracy, and it was not even clear whether they had hit the target.
The roaring sound continued, which was the huge movement of demons attacking the city wall.
This sound of impact was like the beating of war drums, which shocked the people in the city. Many people did not dare to approach the city wall even if they held temporary weapons in their hands.
They pinned their hopes on the great envoy, because Humbaba's attacks in the past were all resolved by this high priest.
That is the power of the Hero King, and it is also the power to suppress Humbaba, and only the high priest in the city can use it.
"Please, Lord Priest, save us!"
"Call for the manifestation of the Hero King!"
The enthusiasm of the people has not diminished at all. The high priest saw that the walls on the city wall had been shaken off bit by bit. He knew that the destructive power of the demons was amazing. If they really let them break into the city, not only his rule would be destroyed.
If it falls apart, even he himself will become a meal for monsters.
At the critical moment, the high priest finally raised his scepter and made his decision!
In a place invisible to mortals, the power of faith in the golden statue continued to converge on the high priest, and then was swallowed by the strange abyss on his body.
The high priest gritted his teeth, channeled the remaining power, transformed into a tall virtual image of the Hero King himself, and flew quickly towards the city wall.
The virtual image became larger and larger as it got further away, like a giant standing tall on the sky and the earth, appearing inside the wall.
It waved its hand, and the black mist was instantly dispersed. The huge palm slapped it down, and the demons turned into powder.
The high priest manifested the power of faith, which was extremely powerful. Now he began to regret why he didn't use all his strength to kill the Bain man from the beginning.
Just when the huge phantom was about to step out of the city wall and completely defeat the demon army, suddenly! The high priest felt a breath of death coming from his body, and he was so frightened that he quickly put all the power of faith into the invisible
In the abyss.
As a result, under the witness of the people in the city, the great "King of Heroes" suddenly fell...
