Chapter 2759 The Plains' Counterattack
These monsters were about four zhang long, with large heads and flat bodies. Their heads resembled those of crocodiles, but their limbs were fins, and their necks were very short. They were full of powerful explosive force.
They are called oyster salamanders, and they are born with the ability to burrow through stone, moving freely in this stone forest as if they were fish in water. Therefore, the valley floor of the stone forest is like a pool full of crocodiles, calm on the surface but fraught with danger beneath.
Binyu was accidentally bitten on the calf by the oyster salamander, which kept pulling him toward a crevice in the ground. Binyu then plunged his knife into its mouth, killing it, and blood splattered everywhere.
"These things are made of flesh and blood, not stones!"
Where exactly are they? Quifon suddenly realized, "We've fallen into a secret realm! Go back quickly, the way we came!"
Back in the Jade Capital era, Shangguan Biao had collected many secret realms, and this Earth Mother Plains was undoubtedly no less impressive. How did they end up inside one of these secret realms while exploring?
Another oyster salamander lunged at Kuifang, who slapped the large creature from a distance, sending it flying into a tree. But before the action was complete, a large rock half a step away from Kuifang suddenly moved, transforming into a stone golem within half a breath.
It was thinner and shorter than the common stone golems that the Heavenly Demon had driven back, but it was more agile. After getting up, it did nothing but slam its fists hard into the soles of Qui-Fang's feet.
With two cracking sounds, the soles of Quifon's skin shattered.
He roared and pushed back, sending the stone man flying hundreds of feet into the air, crashing into the mountain wall and shattering into pieces.
Kuifang looked down and saw that his feet were a bloody mess. He secretly channeled his divine power, trying to repair them quickly, but then he heard a whooshing sound from behind, and the enemy attacked again.
At this moment, figures suddenly emerged from the cracks in the mountain wall—the Shen Kingdom army and the Cangyan people!
The next instant, a flash of cold light appeared before my eyes.
Quefang's last thought was that it was this thing that had damaged his flying artifact.
……
He Yue walked out of the Stone Forest Secret Realm, looked up at the sky, and let out a long breath.
He had actually killed the god Binyu with his own hands? A few months ago, he wouldn't have dared to dream of such a thing.
In the battle of the Stone Forest Secret Realm, his and Yang Sheng's tactics were very successful. They not only lured the entire Heavenly Demon Squad into the Stone Forest Secret Realm, but also annihilated them all!
Recalling the exhilarating battle just now, He Yue clenched his fists. The feeling of hunting down the Heavenly Demon was just too good! The feeling of personally killing his enemy was just too good!
These celestial demons were the culprits who killed his eldest son. But before today, his greatest desire was simply to kill Zhao Shuo. Behind him, Immortal Ming Ke, Yang Sheng, the Bird Immortal, and the allied army also emerged from the secret realm. Everyone was covered in blood, and Yang Sheng had a leg injury, which his guards were bandaging.
The army rested for half an hour. Immortal Mingke entrusted the little stone man to deliver pills to everyone, and then said to He Yue, "The Crown Prince is also quite skilled."
This is not flattery. Although He Yue did not personally participate in the battle, the stone puppets he commanded were agile and well-positioned in their advances and retreats. They also seized the right moment to unleash their supernatural powers. They cooperated seamlessly with Immortal Ming Ke, Yang Sheng, and Immortal Qin, successfully killing two Heavenly Demons within half a quarter of an hour.
Although this stone golem is powerful, it requires precise manipulation to unleash its full potential. Immortal Mingke and others have tried it, but they are not cut out for it.
A skill tests craftsmanship and operation, and to a large extent, also depends on talent.
The golden-armored general that He Lingchuan gave to He Yue was already far more easily controlled by the latter than its original owner. This stone puppet was simpler than the golden-armored general, and He Yue was able to get the hang of it after just a short while.
He shook his head modestly and said, "I'm ashamed that I damaged three stone golems."
"How could there be no casualties after such a fierce battle?"
That was a fierce battle just now, and the fact that we were able to wipe out the enemy this time had a lot of luck involved.
First, the battle took place within the secret realm, giving our side the advantage of terrain, since the Heavenly Demons were completely unfamiliar with the terrain of the Earth Mother Plains;
Secondly, although Mother Earth was absent, the stone men and beasts sent out by the little stone men were extremely powerful allies. They fearlessly charged ahead, overcoming the most dangerous opponents and the most terrifying supernatural powers. With such tireless and unwavering powerful teammates, the human army was able to fully utilize its flexible and adaptable strengths.
Furthermore, this ambush was a true case of overwhelming the enemy with superior numbers. A full nine hundred Black Armor Army soldiers were deployed. Although the Shen Kingdom's army was not as strong as the Black Armor Army, their numerical advantage was undeniable. With over three thousand men facing more than ten Heavenly Demons, plus several immortals from Cang Yan personally taking to the field, victory in this battle was entirely reasonable.
Even with so many advantages, the army still suffered heavy casualties. This group of Heavenly Demons was just as difficult to defeat as Immortal Mingke had predicted.
The battles ahead will only get harder.
He Yue asked the little stone man, "Are there any more stone golems?"
A red light flashed in the little stone man's eyes as he tallied the numbers: "There are still one hundred and sixty bodies left."
"That's more than enough," He Yue said, eager to try it out. "Where's our next target?"
Immortal Mingke took out his personal sand table and glanced at it. He then had the little stone man clone bring up the real-time monitoring footage and pointed to one of the images, saying, "Let's go with this team. This team has fewer people, only nine Heavenly Demons, and they just happened to pass through Xunnan Town. The terrain there is very flat, suitable for large-scale battles. Moreover, there is a Chanyu Secret Realm nearby."
The Secret Realm is a style left over from the Jade Capital City era. The Earth Mother herself is not interested in it, but at this moment it has become one of the important barriers for the Earth Mother Plain to defend against invaders.
Making good use of secret realms can greatly alleviate the pressure of direct combat.
"Okay, let's go."
Outside the Stone Forest Secret Realm, the little stone man is responsible for sending everyone to where they need to go.
He Yue witnessed its wonders once again. When Immortal Mingke said to go to Xunnan Town, it simply gestured, and a giant, concave black hole automatically opened up in the open wall behind it. The soldiers ran in and were instantly transported to Xunnan Town.
This is even more efficient, flexible, and energy-saving than the Great Mountain Moving Formation. He Yue secretly marveled at its power, knowing that this was because the entire plain was the body of Mother Earth, and the various regions and parts could communicate internally, so the rules were much more relaxed, unlike the strict and meticulous external laws.
Otherwise, how could it be called "distinguishing between inside and outside"?
……
Geng Yue accompanied the Heavenly Venerable over two more high mountains when an urgent message came to His ears.
The other demons heard this as well and stopped in their tracks.
A group of people was attacked in a place called Xunnan Town. The enemy came with three or four thousand troops, including not only immortals and cultivators, but also an endless army of stone men. By the time the nearby gods arrived, it was too late. The enemy had fled underground, and their own side suffered seven dead and two wounded.
The Celestial Venerable's expression was not good.
