Chapter 512: Myriad Miles of Yellow Sand
It's cavalry, no doubt!
The cavalry surged forward, kicking up clouds of dust, leaving Zhang Chen dumbfounded.
Wave after wave of cavalry charged towards the refugee camp like a tide.
"Those are humans!"
Zhang Chen could see clearly that the riders were indeed humans, each wielding a scimitar.
In the moonlight, the long blades gleamed with a cold, cruel light, as if they would cleave open the night.
"Could it be the army of the Pacifying Border Prince? Moreover, how is it possible that those horses are unaffected by the beasts while in their midst?"
Zhang Chen's eyes were filled with disbelief.
At this moment, Chen Ping's face was pale, and a rare hint of nervousness crept into his voice: "Everyone be careful, they are demon race cavalry.
Everyone must defend, and absolutely must not be scattered."
Humans were also one of the many races of the demon race!
In the vast grasslands, there were naturally human tribes, but they called themselves Human Demons, just like Fox Demons and Tiger Demons.
Humans called themselves Human Demons.
Human Demons were also one of the powerful tribes in the demon race.
Apart from a few races that were naturally powerful, there were almost none that could compare with the Human Demon tribe.
However, the only thing that reassured the human race was that, because of the different national cultures of the two sides, those Human Demons did not smelt iron and were extremely short of ironware.
Salt and cloth were even rarer.
Human Demons followed the law of the jungle, did not engage in production, and simply plundered whatever they lacked from others.
It was pure survival of the fittest and taking what they wanted.
"This is bad!"
Looking at the mighty demon race cavalry, Zhang Chen had a bad feeling in his heart.
Even well-trained elite infantry could not withstand a few rounds of cavalry charge, let alone the refugees gathered here?
They were just a rabble.
Zhang Chen kept a close watch on his surroundings, waiting for an opportunity to escape.
He wanted to send his family underground to hide, but soon Zhang Chen's face turned pale: "Something's not right! There are also wild beasts underground!"
Zhang Chen could feel that rats and snakes were constantly digging tunnels underground, constantly drilling holes in the ground, trying to secretly attack the rear of the human base camp.
"Underground is not safe either."
Zhang Chen stroked his chin, casually picked up a long knife from the ground.
The long knife was stained with blood, left behind by a dead man.
"Zhang Chen, we're in big trouble!"
Cheng Yu looked at the cavalry rushing from afar, a hint of killing intent in his eyes, his face full of coldness.
Facing the cavalry army, even if one's martial arts cultivation was high, it was useless, unless one cultivated into a supernatural power, and even then, only a master of great supernatural powers would have a chance to break through.
"Don't worry! I will definitely protect your safety."
Zhang Chen comforted Cheng Yu, his voice calm and composed, without the slightest hint of panic.
The cavalry was mighty, and in an instant, it dispersed the refugees.
Countless refugees fell directly into pools of blood, and even more refugees scattered like birds and beasts, running into the distance.
It was not that the refugees did not resist, but that there was simply no way to resist.
Even the bodyguards from the escort agency in the distance were thrown off their horses and their formation collapsed and disordered under the charge of the Human Demons.
Fortunately, there were those who had cultivated martial arts and qi and blood who stepped forward, otherwise, I am afraid that after no more than three rounds of charge, all the armored soldiers would be slaughtered.
The Chen family's young master, Chen Ping, was surrounded by armored soldiers, desperately resisting the charging cavalry, but he was seriously injured and no longer had the ability to command the battlefield.
Looking at the situation before him, Zhang Chen knew that if there were no miracles today, I am afraid that tens of thousands of refugees, as well as the escort agency's large team, would all be buried here, becoming food for the demon race.
But fortunately, these people were lucky enough to meet Zhang Chen, such an unreasonable person who did not play by the rules.
Because Zhang Chen was hiding in the rear, the cavalry needed some distance to charge over.
Zhang Chen looked at the Human Demons, each with a ferocious face, shouting loudly, and their reins emitting a wild aura, a cruel look in his eyes.
The next moment, he suddenly took a breath, and then his humming and hah acupoints vibrated.
The next moment, a breath suddenly blew out of his mouth, and in an instant, a hurricane rose up, accompanied by the sweeping hurricane, and the overwhelming sandstorm swept across a radius of ten miles like the collapse of the earth.
Combined Sand Art - Success!
This sand is not ordinary sand.
First, it is taken from the Sea of Blood, formed by the precipitation and nourishment of the bones of the gods.
Second, it is the sand and stone of Buzhou Mountain.
This wind is also no ordinary wind.
First, it is the yin wind from the underworld, which specializes in restraining yin god-like powerhouses, even yin god powerhouses cannot resist it.
Second, it is the wind from the spiritual world.
This wind can disrupt people's thoughts, affect people's perception of the outside world, and no matter how great your supernatural power is, once you are shrouded in this sandstorm, you will feel dizzy and lose your judgment of the outside world.
The yellow sand covered the sky and the earth, rolled up thousands of feet and rushed into the air, blowing the horses to stop, and the Human Demons on horseback fell off their horses.
The beasts crawled on the ground, their ears and eyes lost their senses, and they began to kill each other, and even the great demon who controlled the beast tide was affected by the Combined Sand Art and lost control of the beast tide.
All the beasts that rushed into the sandstorm lost their restraints.
"Kill!"
But the killing in the yellow sand continued.
Humans occupied an absolute advantage in the yellow sand.
Although humans were also affected by the yellow sand, blowing them into confusion, everyone automatically huddled together, and when they encountered wild beasts, they directly rushed up to fight and kill, chasing the wild beasts around in the yellow sand.
Compared with humans, the wild beasts were miserable.
Those wild beasts lost the control of the great demon in the yellow sand, not to mention that each of them acted on their own, and different races even began to kill each other and constantly attack each other.
Those Human Demons were not much better either.
At this time, the horses were blown by the yellow sand and could not open their eyes, and each of them automatically lay down on the ground, no matter how the Human Demons urged them to drive them, all the horses knelt on the ground, closed their eyes and refused to move.
At this time, the soldiers of the escort agency wearing iron armor reacted, and each of them held knives and guns in their hands, and went over to fight in a melee.
Wearing armor and being unprepared, there is no need to say who wins and who loses between the two sides.
"Good sandstorm! Good sandstorm! This sandstorm came at the right time.
We actually have the wind at our backs, everyone follow me and kill! We can take this opportunity to kill these beasts."
Chen Ping stood in the sandstorm and ordered to the armored soldiers beside him.
Because the human race had the wind at their backs, although their eyes would also be blinded, it was much better than the demon race camp.
As long as they tore off the gauze clothes on their bodies to cover their eyes, they could avoid being blinded by the sandstorm.
On the contrary, most of the Human Demons' clothes were animal skins, how could they cover their eyes?
For a time, they were defeated by the crowd of the escort agency.
"Good means! Junior brother, when did you master such means?"
When Cheng Yu saw Zhang Chen blowing out the sky with yellow sand in one breath, his eyes were straight, as if there were little stars twinkling.
Zhang Chen heard the words and glanced at Cheng Yu: "Don't think about it, you can't practice my supernatural power!"
This is a Qi refining supernatural power, Cheng Yu can't practice Qi refining, of course, he can't practice the Combined Sand Art.
Cheng Yu's smile disappeared when he heard the words, and he sighed: "Junior brother, don't try to trick me!"
"When you prove the Dao Yang God, you may have hope to practice this supernatural power."
Zhang Chen said.
"I have already cultivated into the Yang God, and I have mastered the power of heaven and earth, why would I still be rare for your supernatural power?"
Cheng Yu said angrily.
Zhang Tuowei and Zhang Fei on the side were also looking at Zhang Chen in shock, never expecting that their eldest brother had mastered such incredible means.
"Big brother, what kind of means is this?
I feel that my bloodline power is naturally restrained by your supernatural power.
There seems to be a power in this sandstorm that restrains the soul.
If I control evil ghosts, I am afraid that they will be blown away by the sandstorm after a few breaths."
Zhang Fei looked at Zhang Chen in shock.
"In my Combined Sand Art, I have refined a kind of magical wind, called: Yin Wind.
This wind specializes in restraining ghosts."
Zhang Chen suddenly thought of the Gong family, the Gong family was born to master strange winds, especially the Bixi wind and other strange winds.
If he improves the Combined Sand Art in the future, why would he need to go around looking for strange winds, just go to find the Gong family.
"The Gong family is a good person, my good fortune."
Zhang Chen was overjoyed, never expecting that his unintentional inspiration would actually come up with a wonderful way to cultivate supernatural powers.
Like the divine winds of Gong Bai and Gong Hei, although their power is a little weak, they are also good as backups.
If he can't find a strange wind in the future, he can ask Gong Bai to provide him with strange winds.
"Your sandstorm is indeed powerful.
In your sandstorm, my means of driving objects are useless, and my soul cannot affect the outside world at all."
Cheng Yu also said with a bitter face.
At this time, Zhang Chen controlled the Wind Fixing Pearl, no matter how the sandstorm howled outside, it could not get close to a group of people within a meter.
Zhang Chen smiled when he heard the words: "With this sandstorm, those wild beasts will also be difficult to show off!"
"However, the wild beasts underground are not affected by the sandstorm."
Zhang Chen lowered his head and looked at the earth.
He could feel that the wild beasts underground were still active, constantly digging holes to shuttle around, preparing to harm people secretly.
However, Zhang Chen mastered the power of the earth, and before all the snakes and rats could get close, Zhang Chen's heart moved, and the snakes and rats were directly squeezed to death, becoming piles of minced meat, and died underground.
But Zhang Chen couldn't take care of the more distant places.
He could only protect the old, young, women and children within this fifty-meter radius.
"There are poisonous snakes underground!"
At this time, someone was bitten by a poisonous snake that drilled out from the ground.
He killed the poisonous snake with one knife, and then exclaimed, and quickly reminded his companions.
"What?
Everyone be careful, don't be bitten by poisonous snakes, these beasts are too cunning, they are actually attacking us from underground."
An experienced Jianghu person shouted and reminded his nearby comrades.
It's just that underground attacks are hard to prevent, and their means are secret.
How can you prevent them if you want to?
Especially at this time, the yellow sand is all over the sky, plus the black night, which affects the line of sight, and for a time, screams are constantly coming from the crowd.
Although the yellow sand is a help to the human race, it has also become a shackle to the human race at this time.
Seeing this, Zhang Chen hesitated, he was considering whether to take action, he didn't know the depth of the great demon hiding behind the scenes controlling all this, in case he provokes some old guy and is targeted by the other party, his younger brothers and sisters will be implicated by him, he has escape skills and can run away, but his family can't run away.
