Monster, come to my bowl

Rumble!

As the five balls rolled closer and closer, the ground began to shake.

"What the hell is this?"

"How would I know……"

"I guess it's some kind of magic from a demon king."

"What kind of demon king?"

"The rolling ball demon king!"

The guards on the city wall watched the big ball rolling closer and closer, and couldn't help but feel curious, so they began to whisper.

That's right!

Everyone was just curious, not afraid.

Because everyone knows that there is a divine man standing on the city gate at this moment!

The omnipotent God!

At the same time, Cai Ji was squinting his eyes and watching the big ball rolling towards him.

As the distance gets closer, the true appearance of the sphere gradually becomes clear.

He was surprised to see that the surface of the five large balls was made of sand, stone and plants, not the demon king as he had guessed before.

As the big ball continued to roll forward, the sand, stones and plants along the way seemed to be attracted by something and were all attached to the surface of the sphere, causing the sphere to continue to grow larger.

"The crossbow on the tower, draw the string and load the arrow!"

At this moment, the Lord of Sand City began to give orders personally.

Since he had never seen the big ball before and there were no special defensive weapons against it on the city wall, he decided to use the crossbow with the longest range to test the big ball first.

"Open the string!"

"Load the arrow!"

As the messenger shouted, a creaking sound was heard from the tower near the city gate.

The demon-suppressing guards used the winch to pull the string on the crossbow.

After giving the first order, the Lord of Sand City turned to look at Cai Ji and asked respectfully, "Special Envoy, do you have any instructions?"

Of course, asking whether he had received any instructions was just an excuse. The real purpose was to ask Cai Ji whether he wanted to show off his skills.

If the master likes to show off and you rush to take action, you will not only miss the good opportunity to flatter him, but may also cause the master's dissatisfaction.

But Shasa Shui underestimated Cai Ji's vision.

Shopkeeper Cai not only doesn't like to show off, he is also used to hiding himself.

As long as there is no need to take action, he would rather be a quiet bald man.

"I don't have any instructions!" Cai Ji smiled and said directly: "Fight however you want! I'll take a look first."

"Okay!" Shasa Shui failed to flatter the emperor, so he immediately turned his attention to commanding the battle.

Rumble!

As the ball rolled closer, the vibration became more and more obvious.

Seeing that the distance was about the same, Cai Ji decisively released his perception to explore the truth of the big ball.

You don’t know until you explore, and once you explore, you’ll be a little confused!

He was surprised to find that there was nothing unusual inside the five large spheres. They were all made of sand, stone and plants, but the entire sphere was filled with spiritual energy.

The mystery is hidden behind the big ball!

It turns out that behind every big ball, there is a big upside-down bug!

That's right!

It's just a handstand!

There were five huge insects in total, all with their heads down and their hind legs pointing up.

They supported themselves on the ground with their front paws and pushed the ball with their hind legs, pushing the big ball towards Pingsha City.

"It's actually a group of dung beetle demon kings? No wonder this scene feels familiar." Cai Ji sensed the monsters behind the big ball and felt a little amused.

But he did not rush to take action.

He wanted to see what effect it would have if the five dung beetle kings pushed the ball together!

Because although the five big balls look huge in size, their structure is quite loose. The sand, stones and plants on them are all condensed together by spiritual power, and the spiritual power is not very strong.

Even if such a soil ball directly hits the wall of Pingsha City, it is impossible to knock it down.

So Cai Ji guessed that this group of dung beetles pushed the ball for another purpose.

"preparation!"

"shoot!"

At this moment, the first wave of attack by the defending troops had begun.

Whoosh whoosh!

Dozens of huge crossbow arrows shot out, whizzing towards five earth balls a hundred feet away.

Due to the huge size of the earth ball, all the crossbow arrows hit the target accurately.

It’s a pity that the effect is not ideal.

Puff puff!

Dozens of crossbow arrows hit the earth ball. Although they stirred up a large amount of sand and rocks, they did not defeat the earth ball. Instead, the crossbow arrows themselves became part of the earth ball.

Compared with the earth ball with a diameter of nearly ten feet, the crossbow arrow that is more than ten feet long is obviously not enough.

When Shasa Shui saw this, her brows tightened immediately.

The bed crossbow seems to pose no threat to the earth ball. What should we do?

Use a catapult instead?

It is used to cause large-area damage. The destructive power of a single stone is not as good as that of a crossbow!

Use a kerosene barrel?

What rolled over was a ball of dirt, so even if it burned, it wouldn't pose any threat to it!

Use other remote means?

That's even less interesting...

It’s not that he lacks experience, but the defensive equipment of Pingsha City was almost all designed against monsters themselves, and had never fought such a strange battle.

The Lord of Sand City thought quickly for a moment, then gritted his teeth, drew out his demon-slaying sword and shouted, "Demon-suppressing guards above the fourth rank, follow me to close combat! Let's see what kind of demon king is inside these balls!"

"As ordered!"

Upon hearing this, the subordinates present responded in unison.

The Envoy is watching, it's time to show your courage!

However, just as the Lord of Sand City was about to jump out of the city wall, the envoy next to him suddenly spoke.

"Hey, wait! The real show hasn't started yet, don't rush in! Watch for a while." Cai Ji grabbed Shasa Shui's arm and said with a strange expression.

"Special Envoy, if we don't go up to stop them, these balls will hit the city wall." The Lord of Sand City looked at the big earth balls that were less than fifty feet away from the city wall and felt a little anxious.

"Don't worry! We will stop immediately if we don't hit the city wall!" Cai Ji replied with a smile.

Hearing this, the people around him looked at him with admiration.

Although I don’t know where the envoy gets his confidence from, there must be something wrong with what he says!

Because he is a divine man!

Sure enough, not long after Cai Ji finished speaking, the speed of the earth ball began to decrease significantly.

Then the problem is coming!

How did Cai Ji know that the mud ball would stop?

The answer is actually very simple!

Because he used his perception to discover that the five dung beetle kings who were pushing the ball stopped together when they pushed the ball to a position about fifty feet away from the city wall.

After they stopped, they quickly dug into the ground and hid under the cover of the large earth ball behind them.

The five big earth balls lost their momentum and naturally rolled slower and slower on the flat ground.

This is common sense in physics!

After a while.

The earth balls, having lost the support of spiritual power, rolled to a position about ten feet away from the city wall and suddenly collapsed at the same time.

Wow!

Five piles of sand and rocks were connected in a line, forming a long earth hill.

"what happened?"

"Where is the Demon King? Why is there no Demon King in the ball?"

"Don't worry! They should be hiding in the dirt!"

"If you're not going to hit the wall, what are you going to do with all that mud and sand?"

Seeing this, the demon-suppressing guards on the city wall whispered to each other out of curiosity.

When Cai Ji saw this scene, he was also full of doubts.

The five dung beetle demon kings all stopped fifty feet away and quietly hid underground, with no intention of attacking the city at all.

So what are they trying to achieve by putting a large pile of sand in front of the city wall?

clang~ clang~ clang~

At this moment, the alarm bells in the city rang again.

"A monster has been discovered!"

"The direction is due north!"

"A colony of desert fire ants! Led by a demon king! Huge numbers!"

The sentry on the watchtower immediately issued a warning.
