Chapter 473: Blood Demon Beast

"General, these Bloodthirsty Orcs seem a bit off; they are practically throwing their lives away!" an underling said to the general beside him.

The city-defending general also frowned as he watched the Bloodthirsty Orcs falling continuously below. Even his deputy could see that something was wrong with this situation, so how could he not? One had to know that the Bloodthirsty Orcs were currently laying siege to the city, yet they had not even brought any siege equipment. Moreover, the equipment on these Bloodthirsty Orcs was extremely crude; they wore only tattered clothes to cover their bodies and carried worn-out weapons, looking exactly like cannon fodder. But who could have such deep pockets to use Bloodthirsty Orcs as siege cannon fodder?

"Gaersi, your speed is fast; go immediately and see if there are Orc armies attacking from other directions. Our army is currently mostly tied down in this place, and I don't know if the enemy will take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack from elsewhere," the city-defending general said to another person.

"Yes, General!" That person nodded, then a cyan light surged from his body, and he sped off toward the other city walls.

"General, I have an ominous premonition," the person who had just spoken to the city-defending general looked at the battlefield below and said faintly.

"Tsk, I have that feeling too!" the city-defending general said with some annoyance. "But I still haven't seen what is wrong!"

Below the city wall, the situation had become increasingly tragic; in a sense, this was simply a massacre. Relying on powerful war Magic, Magic Crystal Cannons, and special arrows, Yaoxing City was continuously reaping the heads of the Bloodthirsty Orcs.

Although the Bloodthirsty Orcs were valiant, because they lacked weapons and equipment, they suffered countless casualties under such intense bombardment, and the ground had already been dyed red with blood. Countless amounts of blood meandered across the ground, outlining a bizarre pattern.

"Lingyun, that blood, it's a bit strange!" Aiweier's gaze fell upon the blood, and she frowned as she said to Lingyun.

"Hmm, mixed within this blood is a certain type of magical power, very similar to the Bloodthirsty Magic on the Bloodthirsty Orcs!" Lingyun nodded; he also wanted to know what kind of trick these Orcs were playing.

Just as Lingyun and his group were watching the Bloodthirsty Orcs below the city wall, a murmuring sound suddenly rang out across the battlefield. The murmuring sounded near and far, drifting and uncertain, making it impossible to locate where the person making the sound was hiding.

"The Orc Shaman of the Orc Empire is actually on this battlefield too; is that guy crazy? Although his strength has reached the Saint Domain, the combat power of an Orc Shaman is among the lowest in the Saint Domain. Now that the city-defending general is at the Saint Domain Mid-stage, once that guy is discovered, he is dead for sure!" Aiweier said with a puzzled look.

The moment the murmuring appeared, the city-defending general standing on the ramparts became serious. A massive amount of Mental Power swept out from his body, enveloping the entire battlefield. At the same time, the Battle Qi on his body slowly began to boil, and a longbow shining with light was slowly drawn by him; the arrow nocked on the bow shimmered with magical light. As soon as he caught the presence of the opponent, he would be able to launch a fatal strike.

"He dares to show himself here, which means he has his own trump card! It seems this Orc Shaman is about to reveal his hand!" Lingyun said, squinting his eyes.

Although the battlefield was chaotic, Lingyun's Divine Sense locked onto the opponent's location in an instant. The opponent was not lacking in boldness, actually hiding himself among the corpses of the Bloodthirsty Orcs; he was currently playing dead under a pile of Bloodthirsty Orc corpses!

As the murmuring continued, the ominous premonition in the city-defending general's heart also kept growing. However, his heart was even calmer, and he kept narrowing his search range.

Suddenly, the murmuring stopped abruptly. The city-defending general's eyes narrowed, his fingers released, and the arrow instantly turned into a stream of light, aimed directly at a pile of Bloodthirsty Orc corpses.

A huge pillar of light shot into the sky instantly, and the powerful force turned that pile of corpses into ashes in an instant. In the intense light, a figure flew out backward; one of his arms had already disappeared, clearly annihilated by the arrow.

The Orc Shaman, forced out by the city-defending general's arrow, was in a wretched state. Not only had his left arm completely disappeared, but there were also countless wounds on his body, cut by the power attached to the arrow. It was true that the Orc Shaman was the weakest in the Saint Domain. Despite being in such a wretched state, the Orc Shaman wore a triumphant smile on his face.

Looking at the Orc Shaman with the bizarre smile, the city-defending general's ominous premonition grew even stronger. He once again drew an Enchanted Arrow and nocked it on his longbow, wanting to eliminate this Orc Shaman in one go.

"Foolish human, it is already too late. My great Magic has been completed. From this day on, the saying that the Orc Shaman is the weakest in the Saint Domain will become a thing of the past forever!" The Orc Shaman laughed wildly, and the blood in the surroundings frantically converged toward his body, wrapping him in a huge blood-colored cocoon.

The second Enchanted Arrow arrived in front of the blood-colored cocoon in an instant, slamming heavily against it. But this time, the usually infallible Enchanted Arrow lost its effect; it was actually unable to pierce the blood-colored cocoon to harm the Orc Shaman inside.

"Roar—" A bizarre roar suddenly rang out. Under this roar, the remaining Bloodthirsty Orcs on the battlefield all let out shrill screams at once, then exploded into mists of blood.

The blood on the battlefield rotated and gathered together with the blood-colored cocoon as the center, gradually forming a blood-colored giant beast over ten meters tall. The giant beast looked somewhat similar to a slime, but the terrifying aura on its body told everyone that this guy was not as easy to bully as a slime. The blood-colored giant beast moved its body, slowly heading toward Yaoxing City.

"Fire!" Looking at this blood-colored giant beast, the city-defending general's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately gave the order.

The Magic Crystal Cannons on the city wall turned their muzzles simultaneously, and dozens of powerful Magic Cannons bombarded the blood-colored giant beast at once.

Dozens of Magic Cannons bombarded the blood-colored giant beast simultaneously, punching dozens of holes through its body. If it were an ordinary giant beast, it would be on the verge of death facing such injuries, but this giant beast was a half-fluid, half-solid monster. The blood-colored giant beast's form twisted like soft mud, and the huge wounds on its body began to heal. In just a few breaths' time, the wounds on its body had already disappeared.

"This guy is a Blood Demon Beast! I never thought that there would still be someone who could summon a Blood Demon Beast! The Blood Demon Beast possesses a nearly unsolvable regenerative ability; as long as there is blood, it can regenerate infinitely. A Blood Demon Beast at the Holy Domain Initial Stage is even more troublesome than a Saint Domain Mid-stage expert, and it is invincible when used in war, after all, there is never a shortage of blood on the battlefield," Aiweier looked at the Blood Demon Beast approaching the city wall, and could not help but let out an exclamation. "Because the summoning method for this kind of Demon Beast is far too bloody, it was banned by everyone on the Continent a long time ago and was lost; how has it appeared again now?"

"Who knows? Maybe someone quietly intercepted a part of the summoning technique!" Lingyun shrugged and said.

"Hey, now is not the time to talk about this; the Blood Demon Beast is almost at the city wall!" Chen Jing looked at the Blood Demon Beast, which was only a few thousand meters away from the city wall, and reminded Lingyun and Aiweier helplessly.

If Yaoxing City were breached, how would they reach their next destination through the teleportation array of Yaoxing City?
