Chapter 1355: Appearance
The scorpion's tail is different from an ordinary scorpion, even more flexible than a monkey's tail. He had heard the oral account of the survivors of Chen Family Manor before, but it wasn't intuitive; now seeing it with his own eyes, he could immediately recognize it. How could a scorpion tail grow behind a tiger? Neither the color nor the shape matched. This unnatural weirdness made a thought flash through He Lingchuan's mind: Demon Puppet!
Dong Rui called himself a Demon Puppet Master, and his hallmark was manufacturing and controlling these deformed, mutated monsters.
He Lingchuan didn't expect to see monsters similar to demon puppets on the Flash Gold Plain.
Was the one chasing Little An a demon puppet master? Dong Rui then reminded everyone: "This demon puppet looks fierce, but its weakness is mostly light body and heavy tail."
Wanshou Feng and others all responded "Understood."
The sudden monsters didn't distinguish between Black Armor soldiers and Wuma soldiers, and He Lingchuan's subordinates also had to face these things directly.
The other monster was more than twice the size of this scorpion tiger, nearly eight feet tall, covered in dense sharp thorns, looking like a huge porcupine at first glance.
But it had whiskers on its head, and a row of thin legs on both sides of its body—
The upper body was a porcupine, and the lower body was like a beetle.
This monster's attack method was even weirder; it actually used rolling.
It could shrink its body into a ball and roll toward the target, looking like a sea urchin rolling on the seabed.
Two people couldn't dodge in time and were rolled over by it from the face, becoming decorations on that whole cluster of sharp thorns after screaming.
Wanshou Liang also dodged dangerously and had time to curse: "What the hell is this!"
"Stay away from it! Raise your shields and stay away!" He Lingchuan shouted, "The porcupine demon will shoot sharp thorns!"
He Lingchuan had seen these black and white sharp thorns in Chen Family Manor; he was only suspicious at the time, but now he was certain.
One of the synthetic monsters of this monster must be a porcupine.
When he investigated the Elixir of Immortality case in the Chiyan Nation of Beijia, he first went to a porcupine cave and saw many porcupine thorns nailed to the sharp rocks inside.
Ordinary porcupine demons could nail thorns into rock crevices, so what about this one?
The Black Armor cavalry moved away one after another, either hiding behind the Wuma cavalry or raising shields to protect themselves.
Sure enough, after this monster stopped rolling, its sharp thorns swelled up, and only after two breaths, it shot thorns outward! This was an indiscriminate attack in all directions; the thorns shot out were at least one foot long, and the longest exceeded three feet, with barbs at the top.
The force was only two points weaker than a crossbow, and it could easily pierce human legs within fifteen paces.
With the porcupine showing its power like this, there were screams all around, and a large area of manor guards and cavalry fell.
The Black Armor knights' steeds also let out long neighs; although they protected themselves carefully, one horse was still hit in the rump, and one was injured in the leg.
"Come here!" Wanshou Liang said to the knight whose horse leg was injured, "Let's ride together."
"What is the porcupine embedded with?" He Lingchuan asked Dong Rui humbly; laymen only watch the excitement.
"Woodlouse!" Dong Rui's eyes were shining, "Although I don't like insect modification, embedding a porcupine and a woodlouse together is quite a talented idea, and it actually succeeded!"
This thing is like a mobile arrow tower when it rolls, easily causing mass casualties, and it is quite useful on the battlefield.
"Is it hard to manufacture?"
"Of course it's hard!" Dong Rui's voice was full of "What do you know," "This species span is large; it's not that you can just graft them together and they will survive and act!"
Oh, according to He Lingchuan's understanding, the former is a mammal, and the latter are insects; the span is indeed a bit large.
He asked casually: "Can you do it?"
"Nonsense!" Dong Rui raised his head, proudly, "This degree of embedding is nothing... to me, but it's unnecessary!"
He Lingchuan automatically ignored his last sentence and ordered the crowd: "This monster's turning is not flexible; you are safe when it moves; cheer up, at least one more monster hasn't appeared yet!"
Everyone was startled.
According to the information He Lingchuan and Dong Rui gathered in Chen Family Manor, there were at least three monsters coming, but only two appeared here.
Where is the other one, didn't come or hid? Dong Rui also followed: "Pay attention to your feet, that monster might be able to burrow or dig holes!"
The ground of Chen Family Manor was dug out with several holes. And neither of the two monsters that had appeared looked like they were good at digging holes.
Wuma Dan on the opposite side was both angry and surprised.
No wonder these enemies dared to ram Green Intent Manor with only thirty-odd cavalry; it turned out they had four-unlike monsters as their reliance!
The Wuma cavalry he trained painstakingly usually trained to fight people, or some small demons, not these ferocious evil monsters that performed cannibalism in public, so the soldiers were terrified.
The Black Armor leader on the opposite side rushed toward him again while in chaos.
Wuma Dan didn't set up a flag, nor did he wear any bright armor; at first glance, he was no different from ordinary cavalry, and the enemy couldn't distinguish where the leader of the Wuma elite was at a glance.
But who is He Lingchuan? He only needs to observe where the orders come from, and only needs to observe where the crowd is gathered in the chaotic army, and naturally he can judge Wuma Dan's position! "West! Wuma Dan is on the small hill!" He ordered decisively, "Wanshou Feng, Wang Fubao, go around to the north to cut off the rear, everyone else follow me!"
Wuma Dan is not a leader who takes the lead; he has to climb high to observe the overall situation.
Wanshou Feng and Wang Fubao led their teams out of the crowd and headed north. He Lingchuan gathered the remaining ten-odd riders and launched a charge directly at the small hill.
Tonight's battle was only half over, and he was facing two groups of enemies at the same time; the order of elimination is best from easy to difficult.
He Lingchuan could see that Wuma Dan still didn't know that the Black Armor Army had nothing to do with the two monsters, nor did he know what these two monsters were here for.
When he discovers that the monsters are also attacking the Black Armor cavalry, he will suddenly realize and might use other tricks.
So to describe the situation in four words, it is "soldiers value speed."
He Lingchuan asked Dong Rui while urging his horse: "Can you find the controller of the monsters?"
"Already looking." Dong Rui was more concerned than him, why would he need his reminder? The two monsters were the focus of the audience, but they were not Dong Rui's focus. The focus of a demon puppet master must be on his peers! "Should be hiding in the nearby forest, I am checking every place!"
The two armies were fighting in an open area, but Green Intent Manor had many trees, and there were forests on all sides; it was not so easy for Dong Rui's bats to find the hiding place of the other party's demon puppet master.
When Dong Rui was an opponent, He Lingchuan knew that demon puppet masters usually couldn't stay far from the battlefield, otherwise the demon puppets would easily lose control.
This time, two demon puppets were out, and the demon puppet master behind them must be nearby!
