Ziwei Xingyao

Chapter 157 Rashomon

He was startled, thinking that he or Qiuyan and the others had been discovered.

But because the Demon King Liu Spider had shown amazing insight before, not only did he deliberately choose to hide in a direction away from the other party, but he also told his subordinates to be careful. How did the other party find out?
But soon Li Wei discovered that this was actually his misunderstanding. The Demon King Liu Spider had indeed found the people in ambush, but it wasn't them or Qiuyan, and it wasn't the monks of Jinling Temple. There are hundreds of soldiers on the side of the monks in the temple.

When the demon king Willow spider commanded the spider spirit to attack, the soldiers who jumped out all had tall and burly figures and metal tiger-head masks without exception, and the leader even held a long halberd that Li Wei was very familiar with. , they are none other than Zhan Hu and his brothers!

The Demon King Willow Spider immediately commanded some spider spirits to meet them, but they had already been fighting for a while and consumed a lot of energy. They were no match for Zhan Hu and the others at all. In an instant, dozens of spider spirits were smashed into a pulp.

However, Zhan Hu was not reckless. After killing some enemy troops, he immediately led his men around to the side, trying to withdraw from the battlefield.

But it was too late, because they had successfully attracted the ghost king's attention.

Accompanied by a burst of dazzling green light, the ghost king had already fitted himself and jumped in front of Zhanhu. His thick ghost claws swept across him.

After a few rounds, the ghost king took the initiative to retreat a few meters, not because he was weaker than the opponent, but because he had discovered something more interesting.

"Hahaha, I thought you were a human from Changqing County, but I didn't expect that you were also my monster race, but why did you pretend to be a human? Could it be that you want to test whether I, the ghost king of Daqingshan, is really worthy of the name? ?"

On the opposite side of it, the armor on Zhan Hu's body had several scratches, and there was a little blood on the corner of his mouth, indicating that he was at a disadvantage in the short duel.

But more importantly, his mask that never left his body has been knocked off to the ground, revealing a furry and inhuman face underneath.

Black stripes on a white background, skin full of dense hair, and the scarlet king character on his forehead, this face clearly showed his true identity to all the monsters or humans present. He is not actually a human, but some kind of A mutated albino tiger demon!
Except for the slight surprise of Pojunxing who just arrived, Li Wei and the other star generals were not too surprised by this situation, because before that, after Zhan Hu was injured in a certain time, Li Wei had already discovered some Clue.

Not only Zhanhu himself, but also his brothers are probably all tiger demons!
But he has kept silent about this, not only because he is not the only one who knows, General Ying Yan and Captain Wang also obviously know this.

More importantly, although he is not a human being, Zhan Hu has always fulfilled the obligations of all comrades in arms. He is even more qualified than those demon monks in Jinling Temple. Facing such reliable comrades in arms, Li Wei is absolutely Will not be the first to betray the other party.

Perhaps when he first arrived in Changqing Island, he still had a lot of misunderstandings about monsters, but after getting in touch with Qiuyan and Suzuka, he began to rethink this issue.

Youkai such as Suzuka cannot freely choose to incarnate as monsters or humans. The real decision is whether they can be enemies or friends, and it depends on their actual actions. Not all monsters are evil, Suzuka is Far more kind than most mortals.

Zhan Hu remained silent, as if he hadn't figured out how to respond to the other party for a while, but at this moment, there were screams from the distant mountains and forests.

That was the direction of the monks of Jinling Temple. It seemed that they knew nothing about Zhan Hu's identity before, so they exposed their whereabouts at this critical moment because of over-surprise.

Looking in that direction, the Ghost King couldn't help snorting. First there was the green-skinned savage monster, then there was the tiger monster, and now there are some unidentified humans. Ever since it became the ghost king, Daqingshan hasn't been this lively for a long time!
"It seems that there are quite a lot of uninvited guests today. Well, it's time to show off my true strength as the ghost king of Daqingshan. Come and meet my ghost soldiers! Willow spider!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The spider screamed delicately, and stepped forward, opening its mouth to spit out large clusters of dark green spider silk, quickly wrapping the thick left arm of the ghost king, like a huge glove.

After doing this, it took two steps back and began to pant heavily, obviously very tired. At this moment, Li Wei and the others in the distance could be very sure that the willow spider also used the evil The power of Lingshi.

After a few random swings, the ghost king nodded in satisfaction, then swung his left arm and smashed it directly to the ground.

"Rashomon, open!"

With a loud bang, dozens of tons of soil poured out, spreading over a thousand square meters in an instant, and then a dark green gate rose up slowly from the ground.

The first moment he saw it, even without Qiu Yan to remind him, Li Wei instantly confirmed that this was definitely a door made of evil spirit stone, because even if it was hundreds of meters away, his skin could Feel that intense burning and tingling sensation!
A small piece of evil spirit stone can change the temperament of a demon king, and can greatly increase Qiu Yan's strength in a short period of time. Such a large door, so many evil spirit stones, can burst out How powerful is it?
"Hoohoho!"

Accompanied by an extremely violent roar, a large number of monsters with strong bodies, bare upper body, and holding maces poured out of the door.

Their bodies are blue, red, and black, and they are roughly human-shaped, but without exception, they all have huge bloody mouths, huge eyes like copper bells, and a sharp single horn stretching forward on their foreheads. , This seems to tell everyone that they are not human beings, they are probably the three hundred ghost soldiers that the ghost king just mentioned!

Accompanied by a particularly loud roar, a big monster with complicated horns like an elk and an exceptionally tall body, nearly four meters in size, appeared in the group of monsters.

Unlike most one-horned goblins who only have animal skins around their crotches, not only does it have a necklace obviously made of evil spirit stones hanging around its neck, but it also wears a pair of dense and thick armor.

It's just that the style of the armor is obviously different from that of the Cathay Empire. On the contrary, it is somewhat similar to the style of clothing worn by Suzuka. It is almost certainly from a foreign land, and there is a high probability that it is from the island country of Nibon.

But what attracted Li Wei's attention the most were its eyes that also emitted a faint green light, and its empty left arm.

Coincidentally, the ghost king happened to have a left arm that obviously didn't match its body shape. If that arm was pressed on the newly appeared monster, it would look very suitable. . .

"Ibaraki, go, search that forest for me, and then kill everything in it!"

The ghost king drove the newly emerged big monster like a puppy, without any respect at all.

But the big monster named Ibaraki didn't care, it just roared again, and then took the lead in rushing towards the forest where the monks of Jinling Temple were lurking.

"Hey, Ibaraki, kill!"

"Oh oh oh, kill!"

The blue, red, and black three-color goblins also roared and followed. Although the total number was only about three hundred, when they charged, they were far more powerful than the two thousand zombies.

Moreover, their speed is faster than that of zombies. Not at 01:30, at least ordinary villagers or soldiers, it is absolutely impossible to escape their pursuit.

The monks of Jinling Temple quickly made a similar judgment, so despite the reluctance in their hearts, they quickly started to fight.

On flat ground, their speed is not superior, and it is even less likely to beat each other when chasing in the forest. There are few monsters who are not good at chasing in the jungle.

For thousands of years, countless human beings have used their own blood and lives to prove a truth, the more complicated the geographical environment is, the more beneficial it is for monsters, because they have always lived in such a harsh environment.

So the only way for them right now is to repel the opponent in front of them first, and then consider retreating!
All the monks in Jinling Temple are not good at spells, especially the monks who came this time, and the goblins led by Ibaraki are obviously muscular savages, so when the two sides start a real confrontation, the use of weapons The sound of collision, the roar of the battle, and the screams of both sides before they died, spread throughout the small half of the battlefield in an instant.

But upon hearing this sound, the Ghost King showed an expression of enjoyment instead. He stretched out his relatively normal right paw and made an inviting gesture to Zhan Hu.

"What do you think of my three hundred ghost soldiers? With such power, am I more worthy of service than King Black Wind and Queen Hunter Bee, and more suitable to be the Lord of Changqing? By the way, I don't know how to call you." ?”

Li Wei, who was in the distance, suddenly felt his heart move. It was obvious that the ghost king had misunderstood something. He probably thought that Zhan Hu had been living in seclusion on the island before, or that he was a new monster from other places.

When the demon king on the island started a civil war, it was also trying to absorb new help, even though the Zhanhu in front of him obviously had a lot of loopholes, the most obvious being that he and his brothers were too well equipped. But the ghost king did not let go of this opportunity because of this, instead he took the opportunity to show his own strength in front of Zhan Hu.

It's a pity that Li Wei knew that its calculations were for nothing. General Ying Yan sent him here to hunt down other monsters even though he clearly knew that Zhan Hu was a monster. How could there be no special reason behind this? ?

General Ying Yan must have a complete grasp of this, and even restrain Zhan Hu and his race, just like he used the female vampire Lina!
Sure enough, without any hesitation, Zhan Hu directly rejected the Ghost King's solicitation: "My name is Zhan Hu, and for the sake of my people, I have sworn allegiance to General Ying Yan until I breathe my last breath!"

Hearing this, the ghost king couldn't help but look a little ugly. Even though he was in the relatively remote and backward Changqing, he was not completely unfamiliar with this special surname.

"General Yingyan? Is it the royal family of the Cathay Empire?"

If this is the case, then things will be a little difficult to handle, even if the races of the two sides are different, but it has to admit that the foundation of the Zhendan Empire, which has a history of thousands of years, is definitely not the demon king on this island. Comparable, no matter what kind of conditions the opponent offers to Zhan Hu, most of them are unable to do it.

Zhan Hu didn't answer, he just raised his halberd again, ready to fight.

Even if he knew that he was invincible and the only way to die if he continued to fight, at least he could do one thing, and that was to use his life to create a chance for his brothers to survive.

The ghost king couldn't help but snorted when he saw this, he knew the opponent's final choice.

"Ghost Rider, Willow Spider, today we will work together to wipe out these three forces in one battle, and show everyone and demons in Changqing Island that I, the Ghost King of Daqingshan, have never earned my name in vain!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The two demon kings immediately responded in unison.

"And you, Zhan Hu, as a traitor, I will personally bestow death on you!"

Although he is not a monster himself, but a ghost, the ghost king also has the killing intent for Zhanhu, a tiger monster, who chooses to serve humans.

"kill!"

Zhan Hu raised his halberd and aggressively attacked the ghost king, while the soldiers behind him began to retreat in other directions without saying a word.

Although they and Zhan Hu did not communicate with each other due to the sudden incident, they already understood each other's intentions when Zhan Hu took action.

Because this is a very important code of conduct that their race has been able to continue to this day: for the continuation of the race, when encountering an irresistible enemy, someone must make sacrifices at critical moments!
The two sides quickly fought together, and Zhan Hu soon fell into an absolute disadvantage. Not only was he inferior to his opponent in terms of strength, but he was also far behind in agility. It was tens of hundreds of meters, and the speed in a straight line was astonishingly fast. This was a powerful enemy he couldn't resist at all.

The only thing he can do is to rely on his strong body to resist the claws of the ghost king!
"My lord, what shall we do?"

Po Junxing once again asked Li Wei a question, and this was not the first time he asked this question, not only because he couldn't wait to join the next battle, but also because he was a little moved by Zhan Hu's persistence and dedication.

Knowing that he was invincible, but still fighting bloody battles, just to cover his companions retreating, how could he not be moved by this?
"We will fight, but not now, but after Qiu Yan and the others have reunited with us, and after I have summoned enough star soldiers."

While speaking, Li Wei summoned new star soldiers with a wave of his hand, but it was different from the previous one-by-one summons. Before he waved his hand, there were more than a dozen star soldiers appearing at the same time. The new skill acquired after reaching level 12 can summon multiple star soldiers at once!
Commanding Troops (Elementary), this skill has dual effects.

Passive effect, increase the maximum number of star soldiers that can be summoned at the same time, and the increase value is (level + intelligence value) × 1;

Active effect, when using the ability to summon star soldiers, you can choose to spend 20% extra star power (4) for each star soldier to summon more star soldiers at the same time, and the maximum number that can be summoned each time is equal to your Current grade (12).

This is also one of the reasons why he dared to carry only a dozen important subordinates by his side, not only to hide his figure as much as possible, but also because even if a war really started, as long as he was given a little time, he would continuously summon a An army of star soldiers!
In comparison, the extra star power cost to summon each star soldier is insignificant at all, because the consumption of this skill itself is not high, only 20 points, and a 20% increase is only 4 points.

"Haha, I see, my lord." Po Junxing rubbed his head, looking a little embarrassed.

He also knew that it was very impolite for him to urge an adult so many times, but when he got excited, his mouth became a little uncontrollable, and he often acted before his head.

But Li Wei is actually not at all unhappy. He can fight like Po Junxing, is loyal, not afraid of death, and is outspoken without any selfishness. , but like everyone else, he is sincerely loyal to himself.

Soon, Qiuyan, Di Jiexing and others returned, and there were hundreds of heavily armed star soldiers behind Li Wei.

Although compared with the monsters, their numbers are still at an absolute disadvantage, but they are all elites who have survived countless bloody battles. Due to the various talents of the soldiers, they are often stronger than the little monsters of the same level.

Coupled with the fact that many stars will be the core, when they join the battle at this critical moment, it is enough to change the entire situation of the battle.

After recovering his star power a bit, Li Wei first whispered a few words to Xiaolingguang and Qiuyan, and gave them a special task, then he slowly drew out his long sword Mingzhao, pointed at the one in the distance and laughed wildly, The ghost king who launched a fierce attack on Zhanhu.

"Everyone, our target in this battle is the Daqingshan Ghost King. If we don't make a move, it's fine. Once we make a move, we must kill them all!"
