Chapter 297: Liu Ling vs. Yuemei!
Chapter 297: Liu Ling vs. Yuemei!
Soon, a small detachment from the Snake-People army approached to within five hundred meters outside the east gate of Stone Desert City.
This detachment consisted of about a thousand Snake-People soldiers. Although their numbers were slightly fewer than the combined total of the city's defending soldiers and the Eldest Brother Mercenary Group, the overall cultivation of this Snake-People force was significantly higher than that of the defending soldiers.
Among them were not only eight Snake-People warriors with the cultivation level of Grand Master, but also two Snake-People at the Dou Spirit level following behind.
On the side of Stone Desert City, apart from Liu Ling breaking through to become a Dou Spirit, those with the cultivation level of Grand Master were extremely rare.
As the Snake-Pe
ople army continued to approach, some of the defending soldiers became extremely nervous, with even their hands holding weapons trembling slightly. At this moment, only the few older veterans and the mercenaries who had faced the Snake-People in battle dared to confront this Snake-People force head-on, as they had clashed with the Snake-People on numerous occasions.
When the Snake-People force advanced to within three hundred meters outside the city, the commanding officer on the city tower suddenly drew the sharp sword hanging from his waist and shouted, "Archers, prepare!"
With the commanding officer's resounding shout, the archers on the city tower began to notch their arrows on the strings.
At the same time, a clear female voice sounded from within the Snake-People ranks.
"Raise your spears!"
This time, most of the warriors in the Snake-People attacking force held a sharp poisoned spear in each hand.
Under this clear command, nearly five hundred Snake-People warriors raised their dazzling spears.
"Release!"
"Throw!"
The next moment, two almost simultaneous commands resounded in the area.
Instantly, countless arrows poured down from the city tower, while on the ground, hundreds of large spears flew towards the soldiers standing on the city tower.
Facing the swiftly incoming spears, the defending soldiers who were originally behind the archers quickly raised their heavy shields and rushed forward. However, under the powerful impact, many soldiers' shields shattered in an instant, and they were pierced through by the spears, falling dead on the spot. Even those soldiers who were only grazed by the spears quickly fell to the ground, convulsing.
On the Snake-People side, under the rain of arrows, there were also casualties, but due to the sturdy physique of the Snake-People, most of them still retained considerable combat power even after being hit by arrows.
Just one round of probing, and Stone Desert City suffered nearly two hundred casualties, while the casualties on the Snake-People side were only a quarter of that.
Seeing this situation, Liu Ling, who had just intercepted a spear, became extremely serious.
In a large-scale war like this, it would probably be difficult for him, with just his Dou Spirit cultivation, to change the situation.
Fortunately, attacks like the one just now were unlikely to come again in the short term from the Snake-People side.
Moreover, although the walls of Stone Desert City were ancient, they were extremely sturdy. Even the attacks of Dou Spirit-level experts couldn't cause much damage.
"Go, distribute these antidote pills to the brothers who are poisoned." Turning around, Liu Ling took out dozens of bottles of antidote pills he had refined from his storage ring and handed them to Casilda.
"God! It's actually a Dou King-level expert."
As Liu Ling turned around, the soldiers on the city tower exclaimed in surprise one by one.
Hearing these exclamations, Liu Ling immediately turned back to look. In his line of sight, a female Snake-Person with huge green battle wings appeared in the sky above the Snake-People army.
The female Snake-Person had a voluptuous figure, long hair flowing down to her waist, and snow-white skin. The exposed slender waist was full of infinite allure.
"Gurgle!"
Even Liu Ling couldn't help but swallow when he saw her.
If it weren't for the huge snake tail beneath her, the soldiers on the city tower might have felt like giving up resistance.
...
Under everyone's gaze, Yuemei slowly raised her delicate face, looking at the fascinated or fearful eyes on the city tower. She smiled faintly, then quickly formed a strange seal with her hands. At the same time, her snake tail lightly slapped the ground. With a slight muffled sound, the calm sand suddenly exploded. A huge sand wave instantly formed in front of Yuemei, then surged towards the people on the city tower.
"Everyone, retreat!"
Seeing Yuemei launch the attack without hesitation, Liu Ling quickly shouted to the soldiers and mercenaries on the city tower to retreat.
After that, he quickly condensed a set of battle armor on his body, and with two quick seals from his hands, a large whirlwind about ten feet in diameter rushed forward to meet the sand wave.
"Boom!"
As the whirlwind spun, most of the huge sand wave was blocked, but some scattered sand hit several soldiers, instantly causing them to fall to the ground.
"Oh, I didn't expect Stone Desert City to have such a young and handsome expert like you!" Seeing a handsome human youth blocking her casual attack, Yuemei looked slightly surprised.
Facing Yuemei's teasing comment, Liu Ling frowned slightly and said bluntly, "I don't want to waste time with you. Either fight or retreat."
Hearing Liu Ling's straightforward words, instead of getting angry, Yuemei smiled coquettishly and said, "Little handsome guy, why such a big temper? Do you want to come and play with sister in the desert? Aren't you humans fond of taking us snake women as slaves? Then I'll take you as my slave too, okay?"
Although Yuemei's voice was soft and charming, Liu Ling still detected some cold killing intent in it. Without hesitation, he retorted loudly, "Miss, if you're in heat, go find those strong guys. My puny arms and legs probably can't satisfy you. Besides, we're in the middle of a war. Do you want to do a live broadcast in front of so many people?"
"Haha!"
"Being in heat, you can come find me, and I'll definitely satisfy you..."
As Liu Ling's words fell, laughter erupted from the people on the city tower.
"Toasting before fighting!"
Hearing Liu Ling's shout and the lascivious laughter from the soldiers on the city tower, Yuemei's face turned slightly cold. Biting her silver teeth, she suddenly extended her delicate hand, and five strands of dark green energy burst out. Entwining each other, they finally condensed into five huge energy green snakes.
The energy green snakes broke through the air like lightning. In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of Liu Ling. Opening their mouths full of sharp teeth, they fiercely bit towards Liu Ling's face.
