Chapter 289 Golden-backed Goshawk
Xu Zhenfeng, Lou Qianjiang and their men fought and retreated, but more and more monsters were chasing them from behind.
Fortunately, at this time, the convoy had completely left the battlefield, and its speed had increased, rushing quickly towards the Howling Dunes.
The teams led by Uncle Lu and Uncle Qiu reunited and stopped most of the monsters from pursuing them.
Xu Zhenfeng and his companions temporarily got rid of the demons behind them and followed behind the convoy.
Although there were occasional scattered monsters chasing them from time to time, their numbers were too small to hold Xu Zhenfeng and his men back for too long, let alone hinder the convoy's progress.
At this time, Lou Qianjiang asked another deputy general to lead a team of 100 people back to the rear of the convoy to cover their retreat.
Under the moonlight, in the yellow sand desert, a flying monster beast looked down from high in the sky and saw countless monsters and human armies fighting to the death in the wave-like sea of sand.
The human army was obviously much smaller in number than the monsters that were everywhere like ants.
But they held the monsters back tightly, and not a single soldier panicked and ran away.
The loud shouts of the humans and the cold and shrill roars of the monsters.
Teleported far away in this desert.
Although the human team tried their best to stop them, some monsters led teams of different sizes, bypassed their defense line, and chased the team in front of them like a giant snake winding forward.
This flying monster is not a monster from the Monster Mountain, it is a monster that was born and bred in the Qinyue Sand Sea.
This is a golden-backed goshawk. Its wingspan is more than two meters long and its claws emit a sharp, cold light.
With its eyesight, even at night, it can see clearly anything happening within a hundred miles below.
This golden-backed goshawk had almost no natural enemies in this desert. It was only by chance that it transformed from an animal into a monster after eating a natural treasure grown in the desert.
After becoming a monster, its size grew dramatically and its strength increased greatly, making it almost the king of the desert.
Now that a great war between humans and demons has occurred in its territory, it has no intention of intervening. It just hovers in the sky, monitoring everything that happens below.
It saw a demon and a wolf-shaped monster behind the convoy.
That demon race walked with the human race and helped the human race fight against the demon race.
The golden-backed goshawk had seen such things before.
However, in the past, humans and demons would work together to surround and kill or chase monsters.
It had never seen so many monsters surrounding and killing the human army in human territory like tonight.
The golden-backed goshawk flew over the top of the convoy. Although it had no friendship with the human race, it still wanted to give them a reminder because of the demon race and the wolf-shaped monster.
There was a team of nearly two hundred monsters lying in ambush less than fifty miles ahead of the moving convoy, hiding behind a raised sand dune.
Xu Zhenfeng rode on the back of Cifeng and observed the movements around him very vigilantly.
After feeling something strange coming from above his head, he looked up and saw a goshawk, a demon beast that was as large as the flying Skyhowl beasts in the Skyhowl Beast Domain, slowly descending above his head.
When Xu Zhenfeng looked up, Ci Feng also looked up at the golden-backed goshawk.
When the golden-backed goshawk saw that Xu Zhenfeng had discovered him, it let out a cry and flew towards the direction where the monster team was ambushing diagonally in front of it.
It flew back and forth in the sky three times, each time in the same direction.
Xu Zhenfeng realized something and immediately said to Lou Qianjiang, "There may be monsters ambushing ahead. Let General Chen and his men go around that hill and take a longer route."
Lou Qianjiang looked in the direction of Xu Zhenfeng's finger. That was a small sand dune that stretched for over a hundred feet on the closest route to the Howling Dunes.
"If we go around, we have to go that way. That would add at least one-third of the distance."
Lou Qianjiang also pointed in the other direction.
The routes in the desert are all paved by predecessors. No one dares to walk on the road that has not been walked by people or teams, no matter how close it is, because they are afraid of quicksand and pits.
Xu Zhenfeng said firmly, "Then let's go the other way. It's too easy for monsters to ambush behind that sand dune. Be careful."
Seeing his determined expression, Lou Qianjiang also looked up at the goshawk in the sky, which looked even larger under the moonlight.
"Okay, let's take a detour."
Lou Qianjiang no longer hesitated and immediately asked the captain of the guard to go to the front to pass on the order. The two deputy generals leading the team in front led the convoy and took another route to the Howling Sand Dunes.
After receiving the order, the two deputy generals immediately changed direction and led the convoy diagonally to the right.
Just when most of the convoy had entered that route, a group of monsters suddenly rushed out from behind the sand dunes in the left front.
These monsters probably didn't expect that the human caravan would suddenly choose to take a detour, so they had no choice but to rush out to chase the caravan.
However, the convoy changed direction too early, and there was still a distance of thirty or forty miles from the sand dunes where the monsters were hiding to the fork in the road here.
This distance was enough for Lou Qianjiang and Xu Zhenfeng to lead the soldiers to rush over and protect the convoy.
Seeing that there was indeed an ambush behind the hill, Lou Qianjiang's heart couldn't help but beat violently.
He looked at Xu Zhenfeng's calm face again, then raised his head to look up into the sky. The monster hawk was still circling under the moon.
Casting his own shadow on the desert, a large shadow wanders around in circles in the desert.
When Xu Zhenfeng saw the monsters rushing out, he looked up and howled at the goshawk in the sky.
The golden-backed goshawk responded with a cry.
Ci Feng also let out a long roar towards the moon in the sky.
Then they rushed together towards the monsters that were running out from behind the sand dunes.
What they were blocking now was a team of a hundred men, twenty guards, a deputy general, and two team leaders and deputy team leaders.
It seemed that the number of monsters rushing out from the front was close to two hundred.
It is not known whether there are any high-level monsters among these monsters.
Cifeng was the fastest. While other human soldiers were still urging their horses to charge, Cifeng and Xu Zhenfeng had already crashed into the monster team.
The demon-subduing knife in Xu Zhenfeng's hand drew a circle of light and shadow, and several monsters that were unable to dodge were cut in half on the spot.
Ci Feng roared furiously, his claws stabbing forward continuously, and at some point his big mouth had already bitten a monster in the waist that was still screaming.
It shook its head vigorously, and its sharp teeth kept biting, making a grunting and snapping sound.
By the time it threw the monster out of its mouth, the monster's body had already begun to dissipate.
The golden-backed goshawk followed Xu Zhenfeng's figure closely, watching him rush into the group of monsters and kill several demons in a flash.
I don’t know if this demon clan can help me completely transform into a demon?
