The attack of the accompanying hound group sounded the enemy's attack horn in disguise.
Boom!
The ground collapsed in the northwest corner of the Third Corps' temporary defensive position, revealing a huge, dark cave.
Countless thick, long, thin, red, yellow, green and gray snakes and pythons.
They swarmed out and rolled out, launching desperate attacks like those beast legions.
There is an underground cave formed by karst landforms. The size is unknown, but the snakes seem to be endless, pouring out continuously.
The defense line composed of the army's hunting dogs was too thin in front of them. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen hunting dogs were overwhelmed by the snakes, leaving only their painful whimpering.
There are not many venomous snakes in the mountains of Andis, but there are many giant pythons, and snakes are no exception. However, if you fall into the midst of them, the death process will be more painful. You will either be strangled to death or suffocated to death, no matter what, it will be fatal.
Any way to die is more painful than death by poison.
The sacrifice of the hounds was not in vain. It at least gave the third corps some reaction time. The two centurions as a reserve team had already rushed over to form a defense line.
"Throw Molotov cocktails, build a firewall defense line." Sean was shocked but not confused, and ordered loudly, "The first school, the second school returned to the defense, the attached siege equipment changed the attack direction, the third school took over the frontal defense line, corrected
Trebuchet, oil barrel, direction to the snake cave entrance."
The messengers ran quickly, and the entire third corps moved in an orderly manner. Although the beast army directly in front could not perform any tricks based on the situation in front of them, for the sake of caution, one school was still left for defense.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Hundreds of molotov cocktails made of high-concentration alcohol contained in ceramic bottles were smashed down, slowing down the attack of the snakes.
It's just a moment of relief.
Under the influence of unknown reasons, these birds and beasts have completely violated most of their biological instincts. When they are not even afraid of death, what else in the world can make them flinch?
The snakes were fearless and fearless, rushing forward one after another, just like a colony of ants crossing a river, stepping on the corpses of their companions and forcibly paving a path in the sea of fire.
"Form up and defend."
The two hundred-man guards of the Third Corps, who had thrown away the Molotov cocktails on hand, stood side by side, with their shields leaning against their shields, forming a tight shield defense line, ready to stand ready.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The interception of the two hundred-man guards bought the Third Corps precious time to respond. Pieces of polished and angular boulders fell around the snake group. After landing, these boulders would roll at least five or six times and be crushed out.
The nearly ten-meter-long blood tunnel utilizes kinetic energy to the extreme.
The landing point of the boulder became more accurate every time. The third one had landed directly on the edge of the cave entrance where snakes were constantly flowing out, sinking the surrounding land and making the entrance of the snake cave even bigger. The snakes were like waves of water.
The same thing is surging in it, no one knows how many there are, as if all the snakes and insects in the Andes Mountains have gathered here.
"The catapult has been calibrated, loaded with kerosene barrels, and launched!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
What was thrown out by the catapult for the fourth time was no longer a boulder, but a sealed wooden barrel that looked like a boulder and was about the same weight, containing black fire oil known as the blood of demons.
If the flames formed by hundreds of Molotov cocktails are described as a wall of fire, then if a dozen kerosene barrels are smashed down, what will be formed is a sea of fire, accompanied by a sea of fire with thick smoke, and the flames will rise nearly ten meters.
The violent explosion shook the two hundred-man formation that formed a shield formation not far away and staggered around.
Countless bombed snake corpses were scattered around, falling like rain.
The entrance to the underground snake cave was also blown up even bigger. The snakes wanted to repeat the same trick and use the corpses of a large number of their companions to make a way out. However, the power of the devil's blood was far beyond what high-concentration alcohol could match. They continued one after another.
He threw himself in, and before it reached even a third of the way, it was already dried out and became part of the sea of fire.
Even so, the snakes still had no hesitation and continued to pour out, becoming the combustion accelerant of this huge brazier.
As soon as the fire was suppressed by them, several barrels of black kerosene were smashed down again, making the fire even more intense.
On the other side, the members of the temporary special affairs handling team also accelerated their pace. The second beast leader to be knocked down was the cunning steppe wolf.
No matter how cunning the fox is, he cannot defeat the hunter.
By the time the steppe wolf discovered that he had fallen into Achill's scheme, it was too late and he was forced into a blind corner.
Among the five beast leaders, Steppenwolf has the weakest frontal combat capability. Once it loses its speed advantage, it is no match for Achill.
Surprisingly, the third one to end the battle was Darnell, who was dealing with Andis Bear. What made everyone even more surprised was that except for the initial test, the two sides were in a confrontation most of the time.
Then a dazzling white light burst out from Darnell's body, obviously using the power of magic, and then the attitude of the giant Andis bear changed 180 degrees.
From the initial hatred and hatred, he became extremely docile, following Darnell step by step, and was even more obedient than the hounds he had raised since childhood.
The rest of the matter was much simpler. Darnell repeated his old tricks, attacking the Octagonal Bull that was jumping crazily with the Skullcrusher McGee and the Razor Boar that was competing with Baozi.
Although the changes were not as drastic as those of Andis' giant bears, they became much docile and quieter. They were knocked down by their opponents and then injected with a large amount of anesthetic. This was ultimately the safest approach.
If the Andis giant bear hadn't been intact, Darnell refused verbally, and I'm afraid it would have suffered the same fate.
These beast leaders, even the super-giant Andis Giant Bear, are far from being able to compete with the champion knights, because they all have the idea of catching them all, and they are somewhat afraid of rats.
Otherwise, they would have no chance of completing ten rounds under the champion knight.
After all, the champion knight not only has the physical fitness of a monster, but also has weapons and armor that are sharper than their own weapons.
The sixth giant python leader that jumped out of the sea of fire in the snake cave was in a bit of an awkward situation, because its size destined it to be unable to become a mount, even if it was not much smaller than the mutated Andis Giant Bear when coiled up.
Its only fate is to become a test subject in a medical research base. Life or death is not a big deal, so it has no scruples when it comes to taking action.
Catapults and catapults came into battle, and even the champion knights were not used. They were left half disabled by the indiscriminate bombardment and could not perform any tricks.
In the face of a large amount of anesthesia, he was eventually put into a cage.
The sudden appearance of the Snake Group and the Snake Cave caused a certain degree of chaos to the Third Corps, and the ensuing battle was unremarkable.
A beast is a beast after all, and cannot play many tricks.
The reason why the snakes appeared behind the Third Corps was not a conscious strategy. It was simply that the weakest part of the underground snake cave led directly to the back of the Third Corps.
If they reach the defensive position of the Third Corps, they will also launch an attack together with the Beast Legion.
It can only be said that there was a loophole in the Third Corps' selection of positions this time and it did not consider the threat from the underground.
"Mr. Darnell, how did you do it?" What Sean was most interested in was how Darnell made a ferocious beast become as well-behaved as a hound.
Darnell's face was not pretty, a little gray, and his energy was a little listless. It was obvious that the power of the spell was overused. It was obvious that the three attacks just now consumed a lot of money.
Darnell is still holding on, not only because the battle is not over yet, but also because dealing with this giant Andis bear involves a lot of experimental elements. If he does not explain clearly and does not have his own control, who knows what the other party will do.
Will go crazy.
"Even if wild beasts mutate, they are still wild beasts. Their behavior patterns should not change too much, causing them to completely violate their survival instincts. There can only be one reason, and that is that something is controlling them."
"At the beginning, I always suspected that there were warlocks secretly manipulating it, but all signs ruled this out. There is no way to summon and control so many birds and beasts with human power alone."
"There must be something we don't know about that affects their behavior. Don't you feel anything unusual here?"
Darnell's last question was addressed to Sean and Elena, who were both warlocks.
"Abnormal?" Sean's eyes lit up and said, "You also feel it? The closer you get to the canyon, the fluctuations in the magic power are extremely strong, and the magic power in the body becomes more active? I thought it was just my illusion!
"
"It's far more than that." Darnell said with a solemn expression, "If you listen carefully, you will find that there seems to be a strange magic power around you, which is constantly whispering in your ear, very low.
This kind of sound cannot be heard by ordinary people, but those birds and animals can feel it, and they should be summoned by this sound."
"High-frequency signal!" Sean's eyes widened and he whispered a term.
"High frequency signal? What does this word mean? Why have I never heard of this word?" Darnell asked confused.
"I have seen records of similar situations in the ancient books of the Ancient Andis Empire. There are some relatively unique energy fluctuations or sounds that humans cannot hear, but some animals can hear or feel them. Among them, the most
A typical representative is bats, which use sound to observe the surrounding environment and locate prey."
This is not the first time that Sean has done this. If there is no way to explain it, he will directly blame the Guandis Empire. Having said that, with the relatively advanced magic technology of the Guandis Empire, it is really possible that he has discovered it.
This phenomenon has occurred, but it has not been handed down, or it has stayed in an isolated copy.
"It's almost the same concept." Darnell is used to it. There are too many secrets hidden in Sean.
After he has finished researching all the relevant knowledge and information, let's see what other excuses this kid can use.
"I used my magic power to cut off this abnormal signal, and they returned to normal naturally. This little guy is smarter than we expected. He doesn't want to be controlled by that terrifying thing again, so he can only follow me.
However, I suggest sending them away from here as soon as possible, because I am not sure whether this cutoff is permanent or temporary, and what unbelievable things those signals will order them to do." Darnell said solemnly.
The little guy in his mouth is exactly the behemoth beside him. This big guy with a terrifying stature is not actually very old. He is at most four or five years old, somewhere between adulthood and adulthood.
In fact, none of the captured beasts were particularly old, especially the ones at the BOSS level.
It is still unknown what role age plays in variation, and a series of experimental comparisons are needed to draw a conclusion.
"Understood, I'm already making arrangements." Sean nodded, which coincided with the situation.
In addition to this consideration, it is also because anesthetics have more or less side effects on the body, especially when used in large doses continuously. Sean does not want them to take the risk and laboriously catch the guy.
disabled.
The fire at the entrance of the Snake Cave lasted for a whole day and night. In the end, all the kerosene barrels carried by the Third Corps were exhausted, and a large amount of wood had to be cut down to turn the place into a huge bonfire.
There is a smell of meat and burnt meat floating in the air around the Grand Canyon that lingers for a long time.
In the next few years, wild rats and rabbits will probably overrun the area for hundreds of kilometers.
Even if black fire oil is used as a combustion accelerant, this kind of combustion is incomplete combustion. In order to prevent other accidents, the Third Corps had to dig a hole and bury the half-burned snake carcass.
The corpses and snake bones are equivalent to nearly a hundred flatbed trucks.
In addition to a large number of insects and snakes that fell into the trap and were burned to death, a considerable number were roasted alive and suffocated to death.
The underground snake cave has become a natural big oven. These snakes and insects commanded by unknown signals, even if there is an escape route behind them, do not know how to turn around and escape, and keep running towards their death.
After the underground snake cave was cleared, there was a deep underground cave extending in all directions, leading directly to the direction of the Grand Canyon. It was like a big mouth of a devil, placed in front of the Third Corps.
On the third day after the confrontation with the Beast Legion, the First and Third Corps of the Yongye Group withdrew in an extremely hasty manner. They only built simple defenses to hide the entrance to the Snake Cave.
As if there was an invisible demon chasing them behind them, they retreated for fifty kilometers. Not to mention the Snake Cave, even the nearby Grand Canyon, Sean did not send anyone to explore.
Because starting from the next day, a handful of soldiers in the Third Corps began to experience nausea, headaches and other abnormal symptoms.
On the afternoon of the next day, the soldiers who had these symptoms began to suffer from sleepwalking-like symptoms and did some bizarre things. When they woke up, they had no idea what they were doing.
In the early morning of the third day, the number of soldiers showing such symptoms increased sharply.
