Boom!
Before they could see what it was, the reinforcements at the front of the line shattered several rows straight away.
Everyone’s eyes widened as they looked ahead, but the rows of black-clad men in front of them were only a handful of smoke, still floating in the air.
The rows of men were not many, but there were at least a few dozen of them, and in the blink of an eye, they had gone up in smoke!
Everyone was stunned, but when they looked up, they saw a huge figure standing in front of them, blocking their way.
It was like a huge mountain, and if it hadn’t had a bloody mouth, it would have been impossible to tell whether it was alive or not.
Only then did they realise, to their dismay, that there was a single eye above the bloody mouth.
But it was this one eye that was bursting with weirdness and terror, as well as a deep chill.
“What is that?”
“My goodness, I’m afraid it’s some kind of strange
beast, right?”
“D*mn, it’s so big, isn’t it?”
The crowd of onlookers looked directly dumbfounded, the monster, even though it was some distance away from them, still looked enormous in its extremely large body.
It really was like someone had moved a mountain across there.
“Special Envoy, look.”
In the commanding ground in front of the formation, the subordinate was also the first to notice the unexpected guest in this scene, and was taken aback by the huge figure of Inci.
The envoy looked back and the corners of his eyes shrank furiously.
“What’s that?” The subordinate asked.
The envoy didn’t answer immediately, just stared dead at the object, he didn’t recognise it either, but he seemed to have heard reports of the creature from someone.
Good, the Sky Demon Fortress!
“f*ck, he’s the Taotie of Evil!” The envoy shouted in a strange voice.
“What? The Taotie of Evil?! No, that can’t be right?” The subordinate was startled: “But …… that’s not right. Before the war, I went through all the information on Han Sanchi.
There was this Evil Taotie in it.”
“But at that time, in the influence of true qi, it was big enough and fierce enough, but compared to today, that is simply also completely far worse.”
If the Evil Taotie seen before could only be considered as big as a palace, then now, the Evil Taotie was truly as huge as a mountain.
The difference between the two was more than just a few times.
It is simply dozens of times, or even hundreds of times.
“But its appearance and aura are exactly the same as when it fought in the Heavenly Demon Fortress that day.” The envoy could affirm, “It, is the Evil Taotie.”
“This …… hasn’t been long, so how come when you look again, it’s actually so big.”
The envoy also did not understand: “The Taotie feeds on all things, the waste is its food, the superior is its tonic, he can become so big, he must have eaten a lot of things.”
“But a
down became so big, how many things must he have eaten?”
How much stuff? It’s hard to estimate with that kind of volume.
Just then, a subordinate suddenly came to report, “Report to the envoy, our dead brothers have been reanimated by the dragon veins and have rushed back the first batch of men.”
“Good.”
“But ……”
The envoy’s brow furrowed, “But what?”
“Only about less than twenty percent came back!”
“What?!” He frowned furiously, “Only less than 20% came back?”
How was that possible?
Every person would turn into black gas after death, and the black gas would gradually be reabsorbed and recreated into life in the dragon veins, similar to the water cycle.
Water turns into steam, steam turns into rain, which then falls to the earth, and so on and so forth.
It is true that there may be losses in between, but they are less than 10% at most, and it is reasonable to a*sume that at least 90% of the soldiers will return.
How
How could there have been such a drastic reduction?
Even if Han Qianqian’s side was killing fiercely, but ……
It’s not like that.
“Could it be, that we came out on the expedition and there was no one over at the Dragon Veins to keep a good lookout and they got lazy?” His close subordinate guessed.
“Impossible.” The envoy rejected it outright, “Those who can guard the Dragon Veins are our elites, and given their nature, there is no way they would neglect their duties just because we are not here.”
“But all of a sudden we’re missing so many people, that shouldn’t be the case.”
“Especially since the first group didn’t actually get attacked on a large scale, they just fell into the trenches or were scattered by the cavalry.”
“Cavalry? The trenches?” Hearing this, the envoy looked up sharply; there was certainly nothing wrong with the cavalry, these cards being played in plain sight, no need to think much about it.
But the trenches …… Suddenly, he jerked to think of something!
