The black-clothed Martial King led Zhou Jin, Song Ziyao, Gu Huo and dozens of other Martial Kings to fight and retreat in search of a safe place amidst the huge green spider beast tide.
They did not return to the ancient tomb in the end, probably because they were worried that the tomb had completely melted in the fire and there was no danger to defend it.
They did not continue to rush towards Imperial Valley City. The journey of several thousand miles was too far, and their energy would be exhausted before they could rush back to Imperial Valley City.
Instead, they headed to the stone village closest to them in the wilderness.
There are more than a dozen such stone villages in the wilderness, providing temporary rest and shelter for large business groups along the way.
Although the defense of Shizhai is very weak and relies entirely on the deep caves dug inside to resist the tide of beasts, it is still much stronger than being besieged from all sides in the wilderness.
…
The Fire Ox Corps of Imperial Valley City had already been prepared. After seeing the rockets fired by Hong Ran, the regiment's 100,000 defenders, led by the deputy commander, suddenly dispatched to kill the beast tide in the wilderness.
The Fire Ox Corps is one of the ten major corps in Imperial Valley City. The 100,000 troops in the corps are all composed of martial arts cultivators above the Martial Master realm. There are also 5,000 Martial Marquises, 300 Martial Kings, and several Martial Emperors. Their combat effectiveness is quite high. To be strong.
The originally damaged Fire Bull Mechanism Beast King had been repaired by Ye Fan. At this time, he was covered in super heavy armor and rushed to the front to clear the way for the Fire Bull Corps.
A large wave of green spider beasts surged towards Imperial Valley City, and the Fire Ox Corps immediately formed a formation to fight.
A giant 200-foot-tall fire bull machine beast king was at the front of the array, spraying fire oil from its belly, forming a high-temperature red flame that swept two to three thousand feet in front, and its power was unstoppable.
Ten miles ahead, no armor remained in an instant, the dense grass was completely burned, and almost all the gravel on the ground turned into molten red slurry.
The tens of thousands of green spider beasts that came in, faced the overwhelming fire, screamed in fear, turned around and tried to escape, but before they could escape in time, they were burned into ashes by a large fire oil flame.
"kill--!"
The Fire Bull Corps couldn't help but burst into cheers and rapidly advanced towards the open area ahead.
However, the battle is not over.
Under the control of the Green Spider Queen herself, the beast tide formed by millions of green spider beasts has become extremely flexible and cunning, and is far from being easily dealt with.
The large wave of green spider beasts ahead dispersed like a tidal wave, avoiding the invincible edge of the Fire Ox Mechanism Beast King. They massacred them from the left and right wings, and even from the rear of the Fire Ox Corps.
Although the Fire Ox Mechanism Beast King is unstoppable and its might of flames sweeps across all powerful enemies, there is only one of them after all.
Its huge mechanical beast body is loaded with a large amount of high-level fire oil, which makes it extremely heavy. Its movement speed is not fast, and it cannot cover everything.
Once the green spider beast tide avoided the Fire Bull Beast Emperor and launched a fierce attack from the left, right and rear wings, the Fire Bull Corps' 100,000-strong army suddenly fell into a bitter battle.
The Fire Ox Corps was unable to charge forward with all their strength, as if they were stuck in a quagmire. They had to stop and form an array to face the fierce attack from the green spider beasts coming from the left, right and rear.
The Fire Bull Corps had only rushed more than three hundred miles before they were in deep danger and found it difficult to move forward.
However, as the most important border town of the human race, Imperial Valley City is by no means easy to mess with.
Among the ten major corps in Imperial Valley City, three corps are responsible for defending the city all year round, three corps are resting in the rear, and another three corps go deep into the hinterland of Zhongzhou for hunting.
In other words, in addition to the Fire Bull Corps, there are two other major corps that can go to war at any time.
Soon, another large corps in Imperial Valley City, the Blood Wolf Corps, also came out of the city to support the Fire Ox Corps. The fire-preventing Ox Corps' retreat was completely cut off by the wave of Green Spider Beasts.
There are more than 10 million martial arts cultivators living in the Imperial Valley City, and almost all of them have combat effectiveness of late martial arts or above. More than half of them are martial masters, and a large-scale city-wide mobilization has quickly begun.
"Brothers, the 100,000-strong army of the Fire Bull Corps has left the city and is heading towards the green spider nest to fight the green spider beast tide in the wilderness! How can we sit back and watch in the city?"
"That's right. If we don't go out of the city to kill the enemy now, then when will we wait?"
"Let's form a corps and go out together to wipe out the tide of green spider beasts and kill them all!!"
In the city, there were countless taverns and inns, and many martial arts cultivators were shouting excitedly, wanting to rush out of the city immediately.
Under the leadership of the martial kings of the city lords, temporary large-scale corps were formed, ranging from 10,000 to 40,000 to 50,000 to as many as 40,000 to 50,000, preparing to go to the great wasteland to wipe out the huge green spider beast tide.
In just one day, an army of 500,000 people and more than a dozen temporary skirmishers gathered in the city.
The ten gates on the border of Imperial Valley City opened simultaneously, and like a torrent of human troops, they poured out of Imperial Valley City and headed towards the battlefield in the wilderness.
In the wilderness, 700,000 to 800,000 human troops collided with millions of green spider beasts, and a massive and bloody battle quickly broke out.
Such a large-scale corps battle has not happened in Imperial Valley City for hundreds of years.
…
In a flash, more than ten days passed.
With the support of the Blood Wolf Corps and other human corps, the Fire Ox Corps advanced a thousand miles toward the Great Wasteland at a huge cost of thousands of troops.
However, under the command of the Green Spider Queen, millions of green spider beasts formed dozens of beast tides. Wave after wave of attacks dragged the human army thousands of miles away from the Imperial Valley City, and they were unable to get close. The martial arts team of the black-robed Martial Emperor.
After all, there is a significant gap in the number of troops between the human army and the green spider beast tide. It is not easy to win this battle.
The black-clothed Martial King and dozens of other Martial Kings were still trapped in a small rock village, besieged by a large wave of green spider beasts, and their days were like years.
In just over ten days, they had lost no less than seven or eight Martial Kings, and the remaining Martial Kings were almost exhausted, their elixir supplies were almost exhausted, more than half of them were injured, and their strength was almost stretched to the limit.
They eagerly hoped that the Fire Bull Corps, which was still far away, could come over and rescue them as soon as possible.
…
In another part of the wilderness.
Ye Fan, Gu Xinyue, and Gu Chunbo were in the ancient tomb, waiting patiently for the changes in the battle situation in the wilderness.
The Green Spider Queen, with her huge green spider beast tide, was engaged in a series of bloody battles with the human corps in Imperial Valley City, and could not take care of the few human beings hiding in the ancient tombs.
In comparison, they appear more relaxed.
Ye Fan uses precious golden eggs to feed the Fire Phoenix, Big Gray, Little White and Golden Bird every day, so that they can grow as quickly as possible.
What worries the three of them is that there are many sporadic green spider beasts that occasionally rush into the ancient tomb more than ten miles away and find their traces.
Ye Fan and the other three immediately hurried to clear out these green spider beasts before they summoned more accomplices to prevent their positions from being exposed.
