Chapter 628: Fierce Battle in the Sea of Insects
"Golden Gang controls the spirit, phantom flowers confuse the tracks, and devilish flames burn the sky." Lu Yuan murmured softly as he watched the various colored spiritual lights constantly emerging from the army.
After two days of familiarization, Lu Yuan has mastered the combat methods of the Demon Flame Army.
The entire legion has three sets of formations, including the Jingang Yuling Formation presided over by Wen Qizi, which is responsible for defense.
The Illusion Flower Maze Array, presided over by Madam Menghua, is responsible for confusing and trapping the enemy.
Finally, there is the Demonic Flame Burning Sky Formation commanded by Chihuo, responsible for destroying the enemy.
The three formations were interconnected, changing in countless ways depending on the attack and defense situation. Even a Demon Lord-level warrior could be annihilated. Of course, the prerequisite was that they could be trapped within the formation.
Otherwise, with the magical power of the Demon Lord monk, a few charges would be enough to destroy this formation.
At this moment, facing the boundless sea of insects, Wen Qizi's defensive formation combination is the safest and most reliable.
Seeing that the formation was complete, Wen Qizi and the other two returned to the platform and clasped their fists towards Lu Yuanyi, saying, "Commander-in-Chief, everything is ready."
Lu Yuan nodded and pointed at the giant banner standing behind him.
"attack!"
Before he finished speaking, the banner suddenly swelled like thunder, and a huge black flame rose from the bottom of the banner, turning into a fire dragon that crossed the sky and suddenly pounced towards the sea of insects dozens of miles away.
In less than a few breaths, the originally calm sea of insects in the distance suddenly boiled and exploded like a frying pan with a bucket of cold water poured on it.
Countless borers of all kinds followed the trail of the fire dragon and rushed frantically towards the location of the Demon Flame Army.
Soon, the borers came surging forward across a distance of dozens of miles.
At this time, the range of the pink mist in the outermost layer of the Fantasy Flower Maze Array doubled again, instantly submerging the vanguard of the borers.
The borers seemed to have lost their way after being trapped in the fog, and they began to collide with each other like headless flies. The insect swarm, which was once extremely ferocious, was now in disarray, completely losing its previous momentum.
However, not all borers were affected by the pink mist. A few huge borers roared and broke through the mist, coming to the golden light curtain that protected the entire army.
Seeing this, Madam Menghua explained to Lu Yuan as if she had anticipated it:
"Because the range is too large, and I have only less than 100,000 guards allocated to me, the power of the Illusionary Flower Trace Array is relatively weak, and its effect on those powerful borers is limited."
Lu Yuan nodded without comment, without asking any questions, but just looked at Wen Qizi and Chi Huo.
"Our mission this time is to contain the enemy, so we put our focus on the Jingang Yuling Formation. In addition, we also left behind a small number of guards as backup forces to ensure that we can successfully escape from the sea of insects after the containment is over." Wen Qizi followed.
As if to prove what he said was true, no matter how frantically the borers that pounced on the golden light curtain bit and hit it, the light curtain did not even have a single crack, and even the golden light bounced them away.
"Although the Demonic Flame Burning Sky Formation only has more than 100,000 guards, it is enough to prevent these insects from getting through at all." As Chihuo spoke, he let out a sharp roar.
While the borers were blocked, bursts of black flames began to emerge from the triangular magic banners held by the guards in the Magic Flame Burning Sky Formation.
The black flames surged like a tide, quickly gathering into a tremendous force, turning into countless fire arrows that shot towards the borers in the fog. Wherever they passed, there was smoke. The borers didn't even have time to scream before they turned into ashes and dissipated between heaven and earth.
"Haha, if it's just at this level, we can hold on for three days without any problem." Deputy Commander Shui laughed loudly.
"Hopefully."
Lu Yuan's eyes swept over the endless stream of insects in front of the formation, which were constantly being burned to ashes by the demonic fire. However, a hint of worry rose in his heart. Because several whirlpools had appeared in the sea of insects behind him, and they were slowly pressing towards him.
At the same time, outside the vast insect sea centered on Lihuo City, there were more than a hundred battle groups that were fighting against the borers just like the Moyan Army.
But what no one knew was that at some point, a demonic cloud hundreds of miles in size inexplicably appeared in the sky thousands of feet above Fire City.
In this demonic cloud, there are densely packed demon warships everywhere, vaguely surrounding a huge demon beast with a body that is a thousand feet in size.
This monster has five lion-like heads, a huge body covered with a layer of dark blue scales, and a long scorpion-like tail behind it.
The most eye-catching thing is that there is a huge palace on the back of the monster.
The palace was divided into three floors. At this moment, on the corridor on the top floor, more than twenty figures were looking down through the railings.
"Hmph! Although our mission is just to contain the enemy, they are all standing still, waiting for the borers to attack. If this goes on, when will we be able to attract the attention of the sea of borers away?" One of the figures in black armor frowned slightly.
"Yes, at this rate, it would be difficult to lure out the rice borers in Lihuo City in thirty days, let alone three days." Another figure with an elephant head and a human body took over, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
Listening to the conversation between the two, the other figures were all silent, just watching the battle below quietly.
"Fellow Daoist Tianxiang, I think we should pass the order down immediately and ask them to move. At least they should kill their way into the sea of insects within two thousand miles!" The man in black armor turned his head slightly and suggested to the demon with an elephant head and a human body beside him.
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Dulong is absolutely right." The elephant-headed being nodded, then said solemnly to those behind him, "Elder Che, immediately order all regiments to advance deeper into the sea of insects. They must advance two thousand miles within half a day!"
"My two Holy Ancestors, advancing two thousand miles in half a day is too risky for the legions below. If we force our way forward, we will probably suffer considerable losses." An old man with long hair, wearing a black robe and holding a Qilin cane, said with a hint of concern.
"Elder Che is actually feeling anxious?"
"If the direct descendants of the mother of the corn borer are discovered during this period, and the corn borers in the city are not attracted out, we will be the ones who suffer heavy losses." The Poison Dragon Saint, wearing ink armor, looked at Elder Che with a sneer.
Elder Che was suddenly speechless and looked embarrassed.
"Opportunities are fleeting, so we must ensure that we gain as much advantage as possible when we attack, so as to recapture Lihuo City in one fell swoop.
Tell those people below, don’t even mention two thousand miles. If you still can’t attract the attention of the sea of insects, then go five thousand miles deeper.”
Of course, if this Saint Ancestor discovers that some legions are holding back their full strength, then I'll have them attack Lihuo City directly." Celestial Saint Ancestor also spoke, his tone even colder than that of the Poison Dragon Saint Ancestor.
After the two great saints spoke one after another, Elder Che naturally no longer had the courage to say anything. He quickly bowed and accepted the order, then turned around and hurried away to arrange the delivery.
