I Don't Know Martial Art Chapter 392

Chapter 392 - Golden Mantis

"Not good, this cloud beast is launching an all-out attack!" Seeing the scene in front of him, Bi Hongzhang cried out in alarm.

"What!" Everyone looked at Bi Hongzhang.

The latter explained to Xiang Yun with a look of fear, "Your Highness, this was the case for my Northson Prefecture. First, we were harassed by small-scale Cloud Beasts and were constantly harassing them, causing us to underestimate their strength."

"Actually, these crafty creatures have gathered in small numbers. When there is enough of them, they will launch a general attack. This is how Northson Prefecture City was taken by them in one fell swoop!"

"Furthermore, the Cloud Beasts gathered here are probably more than ten times the number of Cloud Beasts that attacked Northson Prefecture!"

The moment this was said, everyone's expressions changed, and Xiang Yun's pupils contracted violently. No wonder there was no one to respond within the city.

Looking at the number of Cloud Beast tide below the city, it was likely that the Western Lion County had experienced countless battles. Now, facing the all-out attack of the Cloud Beast tide, the entire city was naturally on guard, unable to care about the signal detonators in the distance.

At this moment, countless Cloud Beasts were rushing towards the Western Liangzhou City Barrier Formation. Some of them were charging, some were climbing up, and some of them were using their tyrannical bodies to resist the defensive formation.

The tide-like cloud beasts covered the entire formation, and there were also a large number of flying cloud beasts attacking the formation with their flesh or spitting out all sorts of energy.

The light curtain on the surface of the great array continuously rippled with a dazzling brilliance. Within the great array, countless arrows of light shot out like rain!

There were even continuous loud explosions. The shockwaves from the Cloud Crystal Cannon shot out from the great array, violently smashing into the Cloud Beasts on the surface of the great array. With every burst of hot sparks, dozens or even hundreds of Cloud Beasts would explode into pieces!

Whether it was the military strength of oneself or the reserves of weapons, they were both the greatest of the three counties in the northwest. In addition to the military strength and materials of the Eastern Tomb County, at this moment, the entire Western Lion Country could be considered as indestructible!

The battle between the Cloud Beasts and the humans was extremely intense!

"Your Highness, what should we do now?"

When Bi Hongzhang saw this dense horde of cloud beasts, he felt his heart go numb. It was as if he had once again seen the destruction and deaths of people several days ago.

Xiang Yun looked at the battle in front of him, his expression grim. In the end, he only said one word!

"Wait!"

"Wait?" Everyone looked at Xiang Yun with a puzzled expression!

"Right now, millions of Cloud Beasts are attacking the Western Lion Country's city. The Cloud Beasts tide is too dense, and there are also a large number of Flying Cloud Beasts. If we rush to the Western Lion Country now, it is very possible that we will be discovered by these Cloud Beasts before we reach the Western Lion Country's city gate."

"When the time comes, we will immediately become the target of public criticism. If the land and air cloud beasts attack us from both sides, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for long. We will be completely engulfed by the beast tide."

When they heard these words, everyone revealed expressions of shock as they nodded their heads, clearly agreeing with Xiang Yun's words.

Xiang Yun then said, "For now, we can only wait and see. Once the Western Lion Country blocks this wave of beasts, when the beast tide slows down, then we will charge into the Western Lion Country!"

With Xiang Yun making his decision, everyone immediately followed his orders and once again established a defensive array on the spot. Xiang Yun had set up a concealment type defensive array, and the entire army was located in the shrubbery a few miles away from the city.

The scale of this besieging war could be said to be unprecedented. The beast tide had far surpassed anything that everyone had encountered before.

What was even more shocking was that there were actually many powerful auras within these cloud beasts. It was clearly the aura of a soldier level cloud beast. It could be seen that the cloud beast tide here was not only in numbers, but its level was also much higher than the previous one.

At this moment, not only did the Cloud Beasts possess a wild and domineering nature, but they also displayed an orderly attacking strategy when attacking such a huge county city like the Western Lion Country.

On the ground, attacking the foundation of the formation were all powerful large cloud beasts. There was the 'Iron Armor Rhino' with a body as huge as a mountain, the 'Space Splitting Rock Crocodile' with a body that was tens of feet long, a sarcoma harder than steel growing on its head, and the 'Silver Armored Back Lizard' whose entire body was impervious to swords and spears.

The three heavyweight Cloud Beasts were like a Cloud Beast's siege chariot. Hundreds and thousands of them charged forward in an orderly fashion, colliding into the great formation's light barrier and causing bursts of energy ripples!

And on the surface of the formation, nimble and nimble Cloud Beasts were constantly climbing up to the surface of the formation. Among them, there was a kind of Gold Devouring Mouse, which had a body of pure gold and an incomparably hard body with a pair of sharp sawteeth.

This type of rodent-like cloud beasts ate metal to begin with. Their teeth were even more powerful than sawteeth, and the group of Goldbiter Rats crazily gnawed on the light barrier. The sounds they made were like tens of thousands of steel saws pulling back and forth on a piece of firewood, creating creaking sounds that caused one's scalp to burst open!

As for those flying cloud beasts, their attacks were even more shocking. The powerful beasts of the Golden Lightning Eagle, the Ice Falcon, and the Iron Feathered Griffin immediately soared into the sky, then turned around and dived down, their sharp beaks striking the top of the formation.

The soldier level cloud beasts either spewed out flames or ice, or even wind blades and thunder, all striking the surface of the formation!

These Cloud Beasts were only a tenth or so of them. This kind of attack covered every corner of the formation, and when one looked at this scene from outside the city, they would feel a chill in their hearts. If it was the people inside the formation, then the scene in front of them would be like the end of the world.

Xiang Yun who was at the edge of the defensive array watched everything that was happening in the distance. He could not help but feel his heart tighten as worry was revealed in his eyes. This was the first time he had seen such a dense horde of beasts.

Fortunately, despite the ferocious attacks from the horde of Cloud Beasts, the counterattacks from the County City of West Leung were just as fierce and orderly.

The formation was stable and the counterattacks were orderly. This meant that the Western Lion Country still did not panic in the face of such a huge beast tide and still had the confidence to defend themselves.

The situation in front of their eyes was clear. Although the beast tide was surging, it could not affect the fundamentals of the Western Lion Country, and their own casualties were very heavy as well.

If this were to continue, then no matter how fierce the beast tide was, it wouldn't be able to be broken through. They should be able to retreat temporarily, and at that time, it would also be the best time for them to enter the city.

Right now, Xiang Yun's only hope was that nothing unexpected would happen, and it would be best if he could maintain his current situation. Otherwise, if a flaw were to appear somewhere in the Western Lion Country, or if a hole were to appear in the great formation, the situation might suddenly change.

And the reason for this was most likely because a powerful individual had appeared in the middle of the horde of Cloud Beasts and broken this balance!

Currently, the entire Great City Barrier Formation was resisting the power that came from all directions. It seemed extremely tyrannical, but the truth was that every single place had their energy evenly distributed. On the contrary, the array formation would become weak.

If a powerful cloud beast's energy exceeded this average, it would be able to create a gap in the formation. If that happened, the cloud beasts would swarm into the formation and threaten the safety of the city.

"Phew!"

At the same time, he extended his spiritual will outwards, doing his best to sense the auras within the cloud beast horde. The power of a soldier level cloud beast was not enough to threaten the grand formation, but if a commander level cloud beast appeared, it could very well be a threat to the grand formation.

Although the Cloud Beast Xiang Yun had never encountered a Cloud Beast of this level before, a large number of Cloud Beasts of the Warrior Level had already appeared in this Cloud Beast swarm. There was a high chance that the Cloud Beast of the General Level was hiding here.

Xiang Yun calmly and carefully sensed everything. Everything seemed to be normal!

Suddenly!

Xiang Yun's divine sense trembled as his gaze locked onto a group of charging Iron-armored Rhinoceros in the southwest.

The Iron Armor Rhino was just a Five Cloud Beast. Even though it had a strong impact, it was not enough to shake the foundation of the formation.

However, Xiang Yun could clearly feel a dangerous aura emanating from it. However, this feeling only lasted for a moment, but Xiang Yun did not plan on letting it go!

He focused his gaze on the Armored Rhinoceros group. At this moment, the Armored Rhinoceros was still attacking the grand defensive formation in an orderly fashion, wave after wave, with nothing out of the ordinary. Xiang Yun, however, did not miss even the slightest detail.

Just as he had looked through almost all of the Steel Armored Rhinoceros and was about to shift his gaze away from them, Xiang Yun's gaze suddenly froze!

"What's that?"

Xiang Yun's gaze locked onto a rhinoceros that was right at the back of the group of armored rhinoceroses. On the barbed back of the armored rhinoceroses, a hint of gold could be seen!

Xiang Yun subconsciously confirmed that the earlier feeling that made his heart palpitate had originated from this touch of gold.

"Just what is this?"

Xiang Yun carefully observed. That golden object that was attached to the broad back of the Iron Armor Rhino seemed extremely insignificant, especially in this huge group of beasts.

However, Xiang Yun stared at it, unmoving. At the same time, he stealthily activated the Karmic Creation Art as two streams of warm energy flowed into his eyes.

Xiang Yun's eyes flashed with a lustrous brilliance. In the next moment, the world in front of him became clear, just like a telescope. The golden dot in his vision continued to enlarge, becoming clear!

"This …"

Xiang Yun immediately saw this golden streak of light. It was a golden mantis!

A one-foot long body with a fan-shaped head and a row of golden sawteeth on top. The most eye-catching thing was that pair of fan-like forelimbs were like two golden blades. The pair of wings that were attached to his back were sparkling and translucent like precious stones.

Such an exquisite mantis, standing on the back of an Iron Armor Rhino in the middle of a horde of beasts, perhaps no one would notice its existence. However, there was one exception here, and that was Xiang Yun, who had locked onto this mantis from within the army of a million!

At the same time that Xiang Yun had locked onto the mantis, something had happened.

This golden mantis's fan-shaped head suddenly turned around, as if it had stepped through the vast expanse of beasts, the night, the shrubbery, and even the array formation where Xiang Yun and the rest were hiding. It stared straight at Xiang Yun, staring straight at him!

"Hiss!"

Xiang Yun instantly felt a chill run down his spine, as if that mantis had suddenly appeared in front of him, staring straight at him!

In the next moment, an even more surprising scene occurred. The mantis's jagged upper and lower jaws were slightly tilted upwards, as if it was showing a human-like smile of ridicule!

"This is bad!"

This golden mantis was not simple at all. To be able to be so intelligent, it had to have surpassed the Cloud Beast at the soldier level, or even the Cloud Beast at the general level. Could it be that it was …

"A king level cloud beast!"
