Chapter 288 What time is it now?
Xu Zhenfeng was riding on Cifeng's back, much taller than Lou Qianjiang. He looked to the front of the convoy and saw that two lieutenants had led the team to clear a path.
The front of the convoy has already escaped the monsters' encirclement.
The two deputy generals and deputy team leaders who were guarding on both sides were riding their horses back and forth on both sides of the convoy nervously.
They were afraid that some monsters would break through Uncle Lu and his men's blocking line, disrupt the convoy, or even scare the horses in the convoy, causing the convoy to collapse.
The monsters reacted quickly, and the two heavenly monsters were tightly entangled by Uncle Lu and Uncle Qiu, unable to escape.
However, there were too many other Earth-level monsters, and many of them, Grade 6 and 7 Earth-level monsters, had already begun to summon their followers and started to counterattack the teams led by the two Heaven-level humans.
The human race was responsible for blocking the monsters from entering the six hundred-man teams. The twelve captains and deputy captains were barely middle-grade Earth Rank, and the sixty squad leaders were all at the initial level of Earth Rank.
Under the repeated attacks led by a dozen Earth-level sixth and seventh-grade monsters, many monsters broke through their defenses and rushed towards the convoy at a high speed.
The monsters let out shrill and ferocious howls, echoing each other.
The deputy general guarding the right side of the convoy had already engaged in combat with a sixth-grade Earth-rank monster.
The two team leaders and deputy team leaders he led also brought ten squad leaders to surround two or three mid-grade earth-level monsters.
There weren’t many monsters that could rush out from Uncle Lu and his group.
Other human soldiers can also use the Demon-Subduing Army Formation to deal with those low-level Earth-grade or high-level Profound-grade monsters.
The caravan was huge, and no matter how hard the drivers tried to urge the horses, they could not increase the speed very quickly.
Fortunately, this is in the desert and the road is wide. As long as all the vehicles speed up in the end, the progress will not be too slow.
The guard teams on both sides fought with the monsters that rushed over sporadically.
At this time, the convoy had just passed the halfway point.
A monster rushed out from the human team that was guarding the convoy, and several soldiers were unable to stop him.
Xu Zhenfeng and Lou Qianjiang watched helplessly as the monster rushed to the side of the convoy and chopped off the neck of a horse that was pulling the cart with one blow.
The horse's head was chopped off on the spot, and it fell on the sand. The other horse that was pulling the cart with that horse was so frightened that it kept backing away. When it found that it could not back away, it struggled desperately to break free from the shaft.
The driver was also scared to death, but fortunately several soldiers behind him caught up with him, and with their desperate attacks, they pushed the monster back for a distance.
The driver quickly calmed the frightened horse, then brought a spare horse and put it back on the cart.
Due to this delay, the convoy behind also stopped. Some of the drivers were anxious to escape the encirclement and wanted to bypass the vehicle that was changing horses.
But the more this happened, the more chaotic the convoy became.
Upon seeing this, Lou Qianjiang quickly called over his captain of guards and asked him to go over and organize the convoy.
As soon as the captain of the guard left, monsters started chasing him from behind.
The monsters chasing from behind, led by a dozen middle-grade earth-level monsters, soon came into battle with Xu Zhenfeng and his men.
Lou Qianjiang's guards are all middle-grade earth rank, except for the guard leader who is of eighth-grade earth rank.
The guards each held back a mid-level Earth-grade monster, while several other guards were surrounded by twenty or thirty low-level Earth-grade or high-level Profound-grade monsters.
The one who was fighting with Xu Zhenfeng was a fifth-grade earth-level monster. After two attacks from the demon, the monster was shocked and realized that Xu Zhenfeng was a demon.
The mount under his crotch was a demonized horse. During the second clash with Cifeng, Cifeng bit off half of its head.
The monster sensed something was wrong, but after two fights, he realized that Xu Zhenfeng was at most at the initial level of the Earth Rank.
He relied on his cultivation level of the fifth level of the Earth Rank, and even though his evil spirit was suppressed by the demonic spirit, the mount under his crotch also fell dead to the ground.
The monster jumped down lightly, but still rushed towards Xu Zhenfeng with great ferocity.
The magic weapon in the monster's hand was very strange, it was a short black trident.
Seeing that the monster was determined to fight him to the death, Xu Zhenfeng also jumped off Cifeng's back.
He patted Cifeng's head and told it to go help Lou Qianjiang, who was already beginning to feel overwhelmed not far away.
Ci Fengman was unwilling in his heart, but he dared not disobey Xu Zhenfeng's order. He could only howl towards Lou Qianjiang and rush over.
The monster that was fighting with Lou Qianjiang was knocked away for a long distance.
Here, Xu Zhenfeng had already started fighting with the monster.
Back when they were at the oasis, Xu Zhenfeng and his group of demons had no way to deal with the evil energy of the Demon Lord Luling.
But here, compared with the demonic energy on the monster, Xu Zhenfeng's demonic energy was like a sharp blade that easily cut through the monster's protective demonic energy.
They first collided violently twice, and the monster was almost torn apart. Then he used the short trident in his hand to stab Xu Zhenfeng in the face.
The knife in Xu Zhenfeng's hand was the Demon-Slaying Sword given to him by Lou Qianjiang. He slashed at the trident and then roared at the monster.
The monster's eyes widened at the shocking roar, and it couldn't help but spit out a breath of demonic energy from its mouth.
The demonic energy is the demonic crystal energy inside the monster's body.
When Xu Zhenfeng was practicing, the magic crystals he absorbed were actually the magic energy.
After the monster spewed out this breath of demonic energy, it felt that the demon crystals in its body were a little unstable.
Xu Zhenfeng blocked the trident with his knife, and when the monster was frightened by the God-shaking Roar, he transformed his palm into a wolf claw and reached for the monster's heart.
Monsters are different from demons. The inner elixirs of demons are all in the lower abdomen, but monsters like to hide their magic crystals anywhere in their bodies.
But most of them are still in the heart, some are in the brain, and some are also in the lower abdomen.
Xu Zhenfeng's claw hit the target exactly.
The benefits of the body-refining wolf demon were highlighted at this time. Xu Zhenfeng's wolf claws pierced the monster's chest.
When he retracted his wolf claw, there was already a small black magic crystal in his palm.
The monster underestimated his enemy and didn't even have time to scream before Xu Zhenfeng took away its magic crystal.
Then Xu Zhenfeng swung the magic knife down, then swung it back up, and the magic knife passed through the monster's collar.
The monster's head flew high up and flew more than ten feet away before falling to the ground.
The headless monster's body, having lost its magic crystal, instantly turned into a ball of black mist and was quickly blown away by the wind.
After dealing with the monster, Xu Zhenfeng turned around and saw that Lou Qianjiang had received help from Ci Feng, and the monster had apparently died under the combined attack of the man and the monster.
Xu Zhenfeng immediately went to assist the other guards.
The convoy ahead finally restored order and started moving again.
The captain of the guards rushed back and saw Lou Qianjiang and Ci Feng working together to kill a mid-level earth-rank demon, and were taking out a magic crystal from the fallen demon's body.
"Sir, it's already this late, why are you still trying to get the magic crystal?"
The captain of the guard couldn't believe his eyes.
Lou Qianjiang looked embarrassed and glanced at Xu Zhenfeng. He himself did not expect that he would do such a thing at this time.
But after only a moment of embarrassment, he said with a serious face: "The general's family is large and powerful, and it is not easy to maintain. It's just a matter of convenience, so why not?"
Before the captain of the guards could answer, Lou Qianjiang had already rushed towards the guards who were surrounded.
At this time, there were not many monsters rushing over from behind, so Xu Zhenfeng and his men fought while slowly retreating.
The entire convoy was about to escape the encirclement.
