Chapter 246: Qing State’s difficult situation
Chu Tian covered his swollen face as he walked up the hill, immediately seeing a fire dragon slowly flying in the distance.This should be a torch wielding cavalry unit that should contain several thousand people, it really wasn’t small.
What was the cavalry doing?
Were they just charging in like this?This was too stupid, it was no different from seeking death!
When the several thousand cavalry reached the entrance of the Green Dragon Trail, there was already a large amount of Snake Scorpion Beasts spilling out of the Green Ridge.
The Qing State cavalry seemed like they understood the Snake Scorpion Beasts.These beasts were very dangerous, especially that poison mist that the controlled.If they attacked a nearby village or city, then it would be filled with casualties.
“This is a command for the army!”
“We must block the demon beast attack here!”
“Otherwise once they spread, the consequences will me dreadful!”
A single Snake Scorpion Beast could poison a small team.With the Snake Scorpion Beasts grouped up, they were easy to deal with, but once they were released and with the poison mist everywhere, how could they find them?Not to mention that it was night now and they couldn’t see the poison mist with their naked eyes.
“Shoot arrows!Shoot the arrows for me!”
“They are three hundred steps away!Kill them all!”
The Qing State cavalry gave up the charge advantage they had and everyone pulled out a bow, raising it to a forty five degree angle, launching a dense rain of arrows at the Snake Scorpion Beasts.
Puchi!
Several Snake Scorpion Beasts were hit by arrows.
The Snake Scorpion Beasts were filled with anger and stopped fighting for feed, charging at the cavalry soldiers.The Qing State cavalry did not dare be negligent and retreated while firing arrows.The dense rain of arrows fell, but this kind of defensive action was not effective dealing with the Snake Scorpion Beasts.
One, it wasn’t easy to kill the Snake Scorpion Beasts with all their quantity.
Two, the Snake Scorpion Beasts had hard shells that could resist the arrows.
Three, the Snake Scorpion Beasts were covered in poison mist and it was night time, so the archers could not see them and could only randomly fire.In this situation, even one arrow hitting out of ten was good.
The large amount of black poison mist spread forward like a large tsunami, surging forward at the cavalry soldiers.
“Damn!”
“Retreat, quickly retreat!”
The cavalry leader raised his sword as he called out, immediately turning around.The other cavalry also began to retreat, but at this moment, a large gale suddenly blew forth and made the poison mist move faster, suddenly covering three-four hundred soldiers in poison mist.
The Snake Scorpion Beast’s poison could not be blocked.Once it touched their skin, it would seep through their pores and only a slight dosage would be enough to make a cultivator’s body turn numb!
“Ah!”
“I can’t move!”
The cavalry all fell to the ground.Whether it was horse or man, they all felt their body twitch and lose all their strength.
The cruel Snake Scorpion Beast charged forward and used their strong pincers to tear these bodies apart, beginning to enjoy their flesh and blood.The most terrifying part of this slaughter was that this poison mist only paralyzed a person, but they did not lose consciousness.For a person that was poisoned by the Snake Scorpion Beasts, they could only helplessly watch their bodies being ripped apart and eaten.
The pitiful cries of made the hearts of the other cavalry soldiers turn cold.
“Damn beasts!”The cavalry captain saw the soldiers struggling on the ground and his eyes turned red with anger, “Kill!Kill!Kill!We must kill them all!”
The cavalry released the arrows once again.
The Snake Scorpion Beasts had hunted enough and as they prepared to enjoy themselves, these damn soldiers were attacking them which thoroughly enraged the Snake Scorpion Beasts.So, the Snake Scorpion Beasts put down their food and attacked the cavalry once again.
The Snake Scorpion Beasts were animals that lived in groups and had a very clear method of attacking.Once they left the narrow Green Dragon Trail, they immediately split up into several groups and attacked the cavalry from different directions.
The dark night was the best camouflage for the Snake Scorpion Beasts.
The Snake Scorpion Beasts were covered in a dark green mist that the naked eye could not see.When the cavalry attacked the Snake Scorpion Beast in front of them, they did not notice the other two Snake Scorpion Beast attacking them from the side.
“Ah!I’ve been poisoned!”
“Save us, the left wing was hit by the monsters’ sneak attack!”
“Save us, there are demon beasts attacking the right wing!”
The cavalry fell off their horses one by one.The continuous cries in the night made the other cavalry fall into chaos and they became disorganized.Scurrying around like headless chicken, they were finally surrounded by the Snake Scorpion Beasts and even the cavalry leader was killed.
“Run!”
“Run quickly!”
The several thousand soldiers came to help, but only seven-eight hundred of them escaped.
The other cavalry soldiers all fell under the poison, becoming food for the Snake Scorpion Beasts.The Snake Scorpion Beasts pulled the horses and human corpses back into the valley, with the poison mist covering them as they headed back into the path.The scene was covered in blood and broken armours and arrows, with not a single trace of anything else left behind.
Chen Bingyu and Chu Tian were standing on the hill so they had seen everything, yet they felt helpless.
It really was a terrifying demon beast!
This group of Snake Scorpion Beasts had occupied the Green Ridge and humans could not collect resources from it.It was no wonder that fatty was so willing to sell quality resources so cheap.
Chen Bingyu knit her brows and whispered, “Do we need to contact Central State and ask for reinforcements?”
