At this time, a black figure flew down from a high stone platform where many members of the Divine Temple were gathered. It was a cold-looking man in soft black clothes. He had an aquiline nose and narrow eyes that were as sharp as daggers. His gaze swept across the crowd, and the noisy square instantly became silent.
"Everyone, listen to my order."
The cold-looking man's voice was like metal rubbing against each other as he said coldly, "Now, immediately divide into teams according to the courtyards of each peak and enter the Mountain Protecting Array in front of the mountain range. The person in charge of each courtyard will lead the subordinates. Don't be confused!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
A chorus of answers broke through the sky.
"Let's go!" The cold-looking man suddenly raised his hand and pointed forward.
On the wide square, countless rays of black light suddenly burst out. Tens of thousands of rays of light soared into the sky, turning into a black brilliance that spread out into the distance.
Ye Zhu and the beautiful woman beside her flew into the air, following the people in front of the courtyard to the periphery of the mountain range.
After everyone left, the cold-looking man's figure moved. Like a giant bird spreading its wings, his figure swept across the void like a wave-like light, piercing sharply through the void, chasing after the army that was like a black river …
Outside the mountain range.
In the distant horizon, dust was flying and blocking the sunlight. It condensed into a black cloud in the sky, slowly pushing toward the periphery of the mountain range.
Densely packed human figures covered the various large mountains near the entrance of the mountain. They were like countless tiny black ants that covered the various large mountains. Every one of them was wearing a long moon-white robe with a sun or a star embroidered on their chest. Some were gold while some were silver. At this moment, these people were all standing on their tiptoes as they gazed into the distant horizon. When they saw the low and depressed aura rolling over, they could not help but frown tightly. Everyone's expression was somewhat worried.
Not long after, the dark clouds approached the outskirts of the mountain range. From the large black clouds that covered the sky, a ferocious roar could be faintly heard. It was filled with ruthlessness, evil, anger, and greed.
Those who were standing higher and had better eyesight frowned. Their vision sharpened, and they saw the enormous black silhouettes rising from time to time in the dust cloud. Each of them was over a hundred kilometers tall, like moving hills. The fine scales on their bodies were gleaming with a sharp, cold luster.
"Are these the monsters that have been frequently reported in the news recently …"
"Too powerful. What an evil aura. How could these monsters be buried in the ground for so long without dying?"
"I don't know."
Everyone's pupils constricted, and they could not hide the shock on their faces.
At this time, the sound of wind whistling behind them spread out, as if there were countless eagle feather arrows raining down. Many people turned their heads to look and saw the overwhelming number of reinforcements rushing over. They couldn't help but show joy on their faces as they shouted out in joy.
Ye Zhu landed lightly on a mountain top, stepped on the mossy stones, and stood against the wind. Her gauze-like dress fluttered in the wind. She raised her white and clean face and looked into the distance. Her elegant black eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and she was somewhat worried.
Now that there are so many undead monsters running rampant on the continent, I don't know where my brother is now, and if he is helping the spiritual civilization migrate.
She thought to herself, With my brother's strength and the Heavenly Dao Divine Boat, he shouldn't be in too much danger, right?
Although she thought so, she still couldn't help but feel a burst of worry.
At this moment, the monsters in the distance were rapidly approaching. Before they had completely approached, there were already countless small monsters in front of this undead army. Their skin and flesh had split open, and their flesh was badly mutilated. Sticky fresh blood dripped all over their bodies. Their fangs protruded out, and their eyes turned bloodthirsty scarlet. Stinky light yellow saliva overflowed from the gaps of their teeth as they ran.
The blood-red moonlight shone on these little beasts like frost. Anyone could see that these countless little beasts were already dead, controlled by a mysterious virus.
Seeing this scene, Ye Zhu couldn't help but think of the end of the world that happened on Earth. Countless zombies ran rampant, and these small monsters in front of her were too similar to the zombies during the end of the world.
Could it be the same type of virus? Ye Zhu couldn't help but think in her heart.
At this time, these zombified small monsters roared and whizzed over, like thousands of horses galloping. They raised a cloud of yellow dust on the vast grassland and flew into the sky, covering the figures of the army of undead behind them. Patches of tender green grass were trampled into grass mud.
"Formation!"
A vast voice was full of majesty, as if a majestic god was speaking above everyone's head. Everyone's heart trembled. They could tell that it was the voice of the Honorary Elder of the Temple of Light, Elder Tang Li. Immediately, they didn't dare to be negligent. They calmed down and waited for their orders.
"Toner!" A deep voice sounded in front of them. "Stand on the Qian Long position."
"Ye Zhu!
Stand on the Kun Xue position. "
"Tang Long!
Stand on the Beichuan position. "
The courtyard master shouted in a deep voice. Everyone was used to his teachings. At this moment, when they heard his voice, their bodies almost reflexively stood on the position that he said.
Ye Zhu and the beautiful woman from before, Toner, stood next to each other. This empty mountaintop was full of weeds. In fact, in the depths of the weeds, there were dark ditches, which were engraved with an ancient and mysterious formation!
As soon as Ye Zhu stood on the Kun Xue position, she felt that the ground under her feet seemed to have a spiral-like suction force, pulling all the strength in her body and seeping into the ground through the soles of her feet. She was secretly shocked, but then felt relieved. Because on the mountaintop where everyone was standing, suddenly there was a loud and clear sound of a string, like a dragon's roar, breaking through the sky. Then, countless weeds were instantly annihilated. A blue line formation suddenly shook from the ground, covering the sky above everyone's heads.
At the same time, on the outer mountain range, on the other mountain peaks, there were also formations of different colors. In the center of these formations was a whirlpool-like center. Every blue line in the formation was connected to the top of a person's head. Wisps of pure energy flowed from the top of everyone's head to the lines, like a pipe, and converged in the center of the formation.
The golden divine light in the center of the circle became stronger and stronger, automatically drawing out golden lines, perfecting the simple blue formation, making the whole formation's aura stronger. On the formation, the blue and golden light intertwined, and many magical symbols automatically rotated, looking magnificent and dazzling.
Countless zombified demon beasts roared and rushed over. They swept over like a black flood and crashed into the mountain outside the mountain range. Countless rocks were shaken and fell down. Blood and bones covered in white blood vessels splashed high into the air like pearls in the sea of zombified demon beasts. Then, they fell into the army of zombified demon beasts and were quickly trampled into mud.
"Buzz — —" The blue and golden formation made a buzzing sound. When the zombified beasts rushed into the one-kilometer range, the golden lines on the formation suddenly lit up, and countless magical symbols quickly rotated. Invisible waves of divine power swept out, fiercely crashing into the army of zombified beasts.
Puff, puff, puff …
The golden sword light galloped in the army of zombified beasts, like stepping stones in the waves, and countless beasts' bodies were directly torn in half. Their bodies rolled a few times, then stopped moving.
However, the number of zombified beasts was too large. A large number of them died in the front, but there was still a vast sea of zombified beasts coming from behind, like a vast sea, trampling on the corpses of other beasts, roaring and rushing over.
Ye Zhu and the others' faces were a little pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads. Everyone gritted their teeth, and used all their strength to pour into the mountain formation through the soles of their feet, making the light of the formation shine even brighter, and explode with even more lethality.
This blue and golden formation could unleash ten times or even a hundred times the lethality of a person's divine power. At this moment, countless zombified beasts came crashing over like waves, and were quickly dismembered and killed by the golden swords flying in the sky.
Amidst this difficult resistance, a loud roar suddenly sounded from the back of the zombified monster army, full of violence. Then, a huge black figure rushed out of the dust and blood, quickly running towards the mountain top.
Ye Zhu looked up, and her face instantly turned pale. Her eyes flashed with the light of despair and sorrow. The huge monster in front of her was emitting an aura of death, loneliness, and coldness, which made her stomach churn, and made her want to vomit.
This monster's body was covered with fine black hair, and it was as burly as a gorilla. It held a pitch-black mace in its hand, trampling on countless zombified beasts, and rushed to the front of the blue and golden formation. It roared, raised the pitch-black mace in its hand, and smashed it down fiercely.
"Hum —"
A buzzing sound came from the blue and golden formation, and it shook painfully. Ye Zhu and the others, who were standing in the formation, felt their bodies shake, and the blood in their bodies flowed backward. They could not help but taste sweetness in their throats, and blood flowed from the corners of their mouths. The divine power in their bodies also became chaotic under this attack, making the formation a little unstable.
This huge monster stood in front of everyone, like a destructive god of war. It roared, raised its iron mace, and smashed it down repeatedly. Everyone felt their bodies being shaken by an invisible force, almost falling apart.
"Pfft!"
Toner, who was next to Ye Zhu, spat out a mouthful of blood. Her face was as pale as paper, and her body fell softly. The light in her eyes gradually faded, and she lost her focus. The rise and fall of her high peaks obviously became smaller, and she seemed to be about to stop breathing.
Ye Zhu's pupils shrank, and she hurriedly reached out to grab it, but the pitch-black mace smashed down fiercely again. Her body shook, and she spat out a mouthful of blood. Her consciousness became a little blurry, as if the world in front of her had become unreal, and there were many overlapping images. Her body slowly fell backward in the gentle wind.
The gentle mountain breeze blew her muslin dress, and it fluttered like a beautiful crystal butterfly. The entire noisy world suddenly became silent, and there was no sound at all. Only the lonely and empty whistling of the wind, with a chilling loneliness, blew in her ears.
"Brother …"
She opened her mouth, and a weak voice came out of her mouth. Then, her consciousness slowly darkened, and she sank into the dark abyss.
…
I'm too tired and have a splitting headache. This chapter was also painstakingly written. Sigh.
