Beast Control: My companion beast is a bird

On a certain street in the imperial capital, at the location of a restaurant that was reduced to ruins by a palm strike, a passage extending downwards appeared behind the restaurant where miscellaneous items were piled up.

Lu Pei came with three thousand golden-armored imperial guards, took a look at the dark cave entrance, waved his hand, and went down with the three thousand soldiers.

Entering the passage, a foul odor with a strong smell of blood came out. Lu Pei narrowed his eyes slightly and waved his hand, and a source power barrier appeared out of thin air.

Three thousand golden-armored imperial guards were enveloped and isolated from the gas.

"Everyone, be careful. Take the detoxification pill and put another one in your mouth."

All the soldiers obeyed the order and swallowed the detoxification pills. Then, under Lu Pei's command, they formed a defensive battle formation in groups of five and entered the passage.

As we slowly went deeper underground, the passage soon became so wide that only one person could walk through it.

Everyone had to temporarily disband their battle formation and line up one by one to continue walking down.

Finally, after walking for an unknown amount of time, even Lu Pei felt that he had been walking for a long time, a faint light finally appeared in front of him.

The passage came to the end, and Lu Pei was the first to walk out. As he took a step forward, he sensed a faint formation fluctuation in the passage behind him.

However, that fluctuation was not an attack formation, but a formation that prevented others from detecting with their spiritual thoughts.

Lu Pei waited at the exit for a while. When almost everyone had walked out of the passage, he continued to lead everyone forward to explore.

Lu Pei released his divine sense detection at the first moment, but his divine sense detection was suppressed as soon as it was released.

This made his face change, and he began to carefully sense the surrounding environment. His spiritual detection was suppressed, and he could only find out the reason that affected the spiritual detection by careful inspection.

After a moment, a look of horror and shock appeared on Lu Pei's face.

"There's actually a massive isolation formation set up underground here. No wonder my divine sense detection can't be released. I'm afraid only the Palace Master's divine sense detection can be effective here."

Lu Pei was shocked by Senluo Si's generosity. An isolation formation that covered one-fifth of the underground space of the imperial capital city would require an unknown amount of materials.

The situation was unclear, so Lu Pei thought for a while and then ordered the 3,000 soldiers to be divided into groups of twenty people and dispersed.

There are a total of 150 teams, and the distance between each team is no more than 200 meters, forming a super-large battle formation with an extremely wide range.

If an accident occurs in any direction, at least three teams will rush to provide support within a short period of time.

Three thousand people quickly dispersed throughout the underground city and began to explore the Senluo Si stronghold.

Soon, as the investigation deepened, the remnants of Senluo Si who were left here were found out.

From time to time, sounds of fighting could be heard in the underground space, but they were all over quickly.

After searching for two hours, Lu Pei's face turned ugly. He had previously guessed that he might not get anything this time.

Except for those small shrimps, there are no resources left here. They have all been emptied by the people of Senluo Si without even a disguise.

"Commander, this is already an underground deserted city. There is no useful information here."

A soldier coordinated the search status of all teams and came to Lu Pei to report all the information.

After learning that there was nothing here, Lu Pei's face became even uglier. He punched a stone house next to him, knocking down the entire house.

"Damn Senluo Si, I made this trip for nothing."

After saying this angrily, Lu Pei turned and left, and three thousand soldiers followed behind him, leaving towards the passage they came from.

However, just when they walked not far from the front of the passage, a strong earthquake suddenly occurred in this underground empty city.

The sudden earthquake caused many soldiers to lose their balance and fall to the ground.

"What's going on?" Lu Pei suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Just as he asked this question, the stone tower with a skull on it in the center of the underground empty city suddenly emitted a wave.

Two dark green flames suddenly ignited in the empty eye sockets of the skull on the stone tower, making people feel creepy.

Click-click, click-click, click-click.

Suddenly, bursts of strange noises rang out in this empty underground city. Lu Pei's eyes suddenly focused, and he shouted, "Alert! Form a formation!"

Three thousand soldiers immediately formed five circles, with their spears pointing outside the circles, shields in front of them, and looked around in full readiness.

"Commander, something seems to be approaching, and the fluctuations just now are suspected to be some kind of sealing formation."

A captain of a thousand men reported first-hand information to Lu Pei with a serious expression. He was not a formation master, but he was quite sensitive to spatial fluctuations.

Hearing this person's words, Lu Pei's expression became more serious, and the strange sounds around him were getting closer and closer.

Soon, a quarter of an hour passed, and the three thousand soldiers nervously clenched their spears. Since they could not release their spiritual detection, they had no idea what the sounds around them came from.

Until this moment, in the stone house residential area in the distance, a skeleton walked out from behind the stone house and came towards them.

Every time the skeleton took a step, the bones in its body collided with each other and made a clicking sound.

Finally I know the source of the sound. It turns out to be a skeleton.

Although they didn't know why the skeletons suddenly appeared here, it was obvious that they were manipulated.

When Lu Pei saw the appearance of the skeleton, a look of joy appeared on his face.

"How could Senluo Si not have a backup plan? This dungeon is so huge, it would be a shame to just give up like this."

The captain reminded Lu Pei again, "Commander, this seems to be a skeleton puppet made from a skeleton, but the grade of this skeleton puppet doesn't seem to be high."

Lu Pei glanced at the skeleton puppet and then looked further away.

The sounds are so dense, there must be more than one.

Sure enough, under Lu Pei's gaze, a white wavy line was slowly approaching from the distance. It was a series of skeletons.

Seeing this scene, Lu Pei couldn't help but clench his fists. How many people must have been killed to refine so many skeleton puppets?

Judging from how densely packed they are, there are at least over 30,000 puppets in this underground city.

Moreover, there are fewer animal-shaped puppets here, but there are quite a lot of human-shaped skeleton puppets.

Lu Pei drew his sword, pointed it at the skeleton puppets, and said, "These have been transformed into puppets. Everyone, listen to my order. Kill them."

These people had been dead for who knows how long, and had all been transformed into puppets. Only the puppet marks planted by Senluo Si in their bones remained, controlling them to come and fight the intruders.

Three thousand golden-armored imperial guards shouted in unison, and the soldiers in the outermost circle thrust out their spears at the same time.

Suddenly, hundreds of golden spears appeared, carrying a fierce fighting spirit, and pierced through the bony bodies of those skeleton puppets.

A large number of skeleton puppets in the front fell down directly, but more puppets immediately rushed up and filled the gap.

"Golden Light Defense."

A centurion shouted, and all the soldiers raised their shields. Golden light burst out from those shields, gathered together, and condensed into an upside-down bowl, protecting them inside.

On the opposite side, the skeleton puppets had already come to a nearby location, and a faint green flame was burning in the empty eye sockets of each skeleton puppet.

The flames escaped from their eye sockets, gathered together, and turned into a huge fireball over a hundred meters in size.

The dim green firelight illuminated the underground space, but the temperature showed no signs of rising.

Lu Pei looked at the dark green fireball and did not feel the fluctuation of source power, but he vaguely sensed a trace of soul fluctuation.

"It's a soul attack."

He reminded everyone loudly, and the light of the golden protective shield became brighter.

Just as Lu Pei was reminding everyone, the dark green fireball also came towards this side.

The fireball hit the golden protective shield, but no terrifying source power fluctuations erupted. However, layer upon layer of ripples continued to spread out on the golden protective shield.
