Chapter 623: Fighting Demons
"What's this noise?"
Fei Dao looked around vigilantly, like a frightened ostrich, raising his head and looking around.
"It's the mandrill from Fuyuan Mountain," the escort replied. "Don't worry too much. It's just a mandrill watching over the mountain pass. It saw us coming and sent a message to its companions."
"We have many people. We just need to show our strength. These mandrills may not dare to come forward."
The escort confidently comforted Fei Dao.
Fei Dao nodded solemnly.
Lin Yu was a little surprised.
"This whistle sound was actually made by a demon..."
He thought it was the work of human bandits, but he didn't expect it to be a demon.
These evil monsters actually have sentries and can communicate with each other... This is beyond Lin Yu's expectation.
The intelligence of the monsters and demons in this world seemed to be higher than he expected.
but……
Lin Yu thought it was a good thing.
At this moment, Yue Zhenqiao, who was in the lead, also made some moves.
"Fire the flare!"
As Yue Zhenqiao spoke, three escorts with bows on their backs agreed, then took out their hunting bows and arrows from their quivers and shot them into the sky.
"Ugh——!"
The sounds of three arrows breaking through the air rang out simultaneously, whistling like evil spirits, mixed in with the whistles and not being able to cover it up at all.
That's not all!
Later, three arrows flew high into the sky and exploded directly in the air.
"--Snapped!"
The sound of explosion instantly drowned out all the noise!
The three arrows exploded at almost the same time, and the three explosions overlapped like thunder in the sky, echoing endlessly in the mountains.
After the aftertaste, no more whistles were heard.
Yue Zhenqiao sneered and said smugly, "You are a bunch of beasts. Let's see what you are bragging about!"
"These mandrills, do they think we are an ordinary escort team?"
Yue Zhenqiao said, then spurred his horse forward: "Let's go."
Lin Yu looked at this scene and nodded slightly.
Just as he thought, the demons in the Prison Mountain Realm did have some intelligence.
This is really good news for Lin Yu.
They have intelligence, will be scared away by Yue Zhenqiao's intimidation, and can exchange information with each other. This means that the demons in this world, at least this group of mandrills... may be "tricked" into believing.
While Lin Yu was thinking, Lao Zheng's voice sounded slowly in Lin Yu's mind.
"Be careful, Boss. Don't trust the leader and the other escorts too much. Although they have some strength, they are still relatively weak."
"Try sending out your own mental power to explore it, aiming to capture as many other mental fluctuations as possible, and you'll understand what I mean."
As Old Zheng spoke leisurely, Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, then began to release his mental power.
After reaching an agreement with Lao Zheng, the other party has begun to guide and teach Lin Yu how to use his mental power.
After doing what Lao Zheng said, Lin Yu understood the meaning of Lao Zheng's previous words.
He felt his mental power spreading out like water waves, and soon he felt the spirits of about thirty people - peaceful, neutral, without too much fluctuation. After feeling it carefully, he seemed to sense that everyone present was quite nervous.
The other mental fluctuations were like ripples spreading outward, like signal towers transmitting signals. Without Lao Zheng's explanation, Lin Yu could intuitively distinguish their "mental state" through some mysterious feeling.
After his mental power expanded to the outer periphery, Lin Yu could feel mental fluctuations that did not belong to them and were even significantly different from human mental activities.
Simpler, yet more manic and bloodthirsty.
More importantly, the sources of those mental fluctuations were not far away, and Lin Yu could sense that the targets of these mental fluctuations were all his thirty people.
Lin Yu came to the conclusion: "Those demons were not frightened, they were just pretending to be afraid. They were quiet just to ambush!"
He shared his ideas with Lao Zheng, who was very satisfied.
"Wow, you learn really fast! You're truly one of the top three students I've ever taught in terms of comprehension and talent."
Lin Yu was surprised: "There are actually two people ahead of me?"
"Of course there are. One of them has a grudge against you."
Before Lin Yu and Lao Zheng could continue communicating, the whistle suddenly sounded again.
"call out--!"
A sudden whistle sounded from above my head, and this time the whistle... was extremely close!
Yue Zhenqiao was a little horrified: "What? Are these mandrills crazy?!"
Above their heads, on the top of the mountain wall, a group of ferocious and hideous monsters that looked like monkeys appeared, with red and indigo mixed on their faces.
Each of these monsters is the size of an adult, but with bulging muscles on their limbs and protruding fangs, they are obviously much stronger than the average adult man in terms of combat power.
While making sharp whistles, they began to jump down from the mountain wall, stepping on the protruding cracks in the rocks and rushing down the mountain, obviously heading towards the convoy.
"It seems the scorching heat has driven you bastards crazy with hunger." Yue Zhenqiao was horrified, but as the escort leader, he quickly calmed down and began to issue orders, "The demons are coming, prepare to fight!"
"Anyone skilled in close combat will hold the perimeter, and those skilled in archery and concealed weapons will begin to release their arrows!"
"Wu San, Wu Qi, the two of you will lead the left and right wings. Keep a close eye on them and don't let any monsters get through."
The convoy was now located in a long and narrow canyon road with mountain walls on both sides. Mandrills came from both sides to form a pincer attack and attacked from high places. This was very disadvantageous for the convoy team on the defensive side.
Therefore, Yue Zhenqiao also continued to issue instructions: "While fighting the enemy, the team must not stop. Keep the formation in order while continuing to move. We cannot engage them in the place chosen by these monsters!"
Yue Zhenqiao spoke repeatedly, then drew out his long sword and rushed to the right side where the defense seemed a little weak.
Afterwards, the first round of mandrills rushed to the foot of the mountain, jumped high and pounced on the chariot team, and engaged in close combat with the bodyguards holding swords on the periphery.
"Ding Dong!"
The mandrill's claws were long and sharp, and when they collided with the escorts' swords, a sound of metal clashing was made.
A barrage of arrows and hidden weapons rained down from the ranks, hitting the mandrills at the rear. Although this caused some casualties, the mandrills at the rear let out many screams and shed a lot of blood...
However, there are only a few mandrills that actually fall down and roll down the mountain, no longer able to fight!
In the team, Li Nian couldn't help but sigh as he watched the escorts quickly changing their formation to meet the enemy and fighting with the monsters.
"They're quite professional... Employer, do you think we should help them?"
Li Nian said with a smile, asking Fei Dao for his opinion.
Fei Dao looked at these mandrills and smelled the blood, so he naturally spoke quickly.
"Of course, if these demons kill all the escorts... won't it be our turn?!"
"Help me if you can!"
At the end of the conversation, Fei Dao almost broke his voice!
