Chapter 171 Ghost Tide Impact
The team of fugitives continued for several days, and at most, these escaped ghosts were everywhere in the mountains. Later, they gradually decreased, and their expressions became more and more frightened.
The number of people fleeing westward indicates that the ghost tide is approaching soon.
Sure enough, at noon one day, Wu Sheng was assembling some finishing work and heard some unusual sounds from afar.
A gray-black torrent slowly appeared from the eastern sky, and the north and south ends could not be seen.
The boundless torrent gradually accelerated from far to near, and all the remaining fugitives were running.
The dense mad ghosts could gradually see their bodies clearly. They were one by one, hitting everything like mad dogs. All the remaining architectural traces along the way were destroyed, and some valuable things were directly swallowed by some passing mad ghosts.
Fortunately, the ghost locust is too ordinary to these crazy ghosts, so they will not impact those huge, numerous and tough ghost locusts, only passing by.
When Wu Sheng saw the tide of corpses, he hid in the temporary command site underground and used the formation arranged around to observe the ground situation.
At the same time, the three thousand parasitic cores were awakened by him from the dormant state of reserved energy to the combat state. He saw a ghost locust tree forest, and many ghost locust trees twisted and ganged, rising up from the ground and turning into tree demons!
The ghost tide is likely to have its own natural command system, because Wu Sheng found that the number and density of crazy ghosts rushing towards the Ghost Locust Tree Demon are still increasing, and gradually forming a protruding sharp corner in this direction.
Wu Sheng directed all the roots of ghost locust trees to go deep underground and tie them together. The branches and vines between the ghost locust trees were also entangled, forming a dam that was more than ten meters high and connected with the earth to block the ghost tide.
The ghost tide is getting closer and closer, and an irresistible momentum is coming to the face. Faced with the endless ghost tide, a fear that cannot be expressed in any word or language arises from the hearts of everyone.
Soon the ghost tide came into contact with the "dike" of the tree demon set up by Wu Sheng, and the crazy ghost with the fastest impact speed in the front directly hit the tree demon's body.
The texture of the ghost locust itself is far better than that of ordinary ghosts, so the mad ghost at the front was directly hit and died on the spot.
Then the mad ghosts behind followed one after another, hitting the body of Guihuai continuously. The mad ghost in front could not retreat, and the power of the ghost tide behind continued to move forward, directly dispersing the mad ghost in front.
The formation of the ghost locust is roughly round. The tree demon who first came into contact with the ghost tide was hit by the endless crazy ghosts, and the land captured by the roots of the underground shattered.
A ghost locust tree was half pulled out of the ground by the impact force, and then the left and right trees connected to it were quickly spreading to the surroundings. The entire circular formation was hit hard and bent inwardly from the east. Those unboarded ghost locusts located behind the tree demon were also lifted up by the impact force.
The tree demon at the front was gradually shattered by the impact force. Wu Sheng hurriedly transferred some reserved tree demons to join and replace it when it could not hold on. In this way, nearly five hundred ghost locust tree demons were destroyed, the frontal impact force finally began to weaken.
The weakening of the impact does not mean that everything is good. Previously, because the impact of the ghost tide was too strong, both sides could only fight hard and could not fight.
When this trend eases, the real battle has just begun.
The same is true for Du'an City and several "false cities". However, several "false cities" failed to reach the first wave of the ghost tide. In a few moments, they were swallowed up by the ghost tide and failed to cause any waves. Du'an City relied on the solid city wall, the guard formation and the city protection Fuling to defend it.
From a high altitude, Du'an City and Wu Sheng's ghost locust tree demon position were like two reefs in the vast ghost tide, dividing the crazy ghosts from the east, and then the crazy ghosts reunite in the west.
After the impact force, countless crazy ghosts were replaced by fierce attacks!
Most of these crazy ghosts are not very strong, and they are even worse than the ghost soldiers of the Ghost King Army in Hanyan Valley. However, Wu Sheng’s tree demon formation is full of crazy ghosts. One of them is broken and killed, and more will be replaced, and there is no sign of decrease at all.
The attack method of the crazy ghost is very simple. They will use all means to pull and bite the tree demon's body, and try to destroy the enemy without regard for their own damage.
After Wu Sheng's ghost locust tree demon formation reduced inward for several rounds, the parasitic core parasitic speed can offset the attack speed of the crazy ghost. The two sides formed a deadlock and began to fight continuously.
There are hundreds of thousands of ghost locust trees in the ghost locust formation (I have calculated it), which is enough to support the parasitic core for a long time to consume. The parasitic core created by Wu Sheng withstood the first wave of ghost tide and together with Du'ancheng, it became the only remaining resistance force in this area.
In Du'an City, all ghosts in the Soul-Snacking Stage and higher level were forced to be recruited. Those with lower realms were responsible for some auxiliary work, while those with strong strength would climb up to the city wall and use long-range attack methods to kill the crazy ghosts besieged the city.
A large number of crazy ghosts dissipated under the attack of ghosts in Du'an City, but no one would breathe a sigh of relief. Du'an City's counterattack did not produce any effect, and these injuries were inconspicuous for the huge ghost tide that was still spreading from east to west continuously.
Someone in the city noticed the ghost locust tree demon formation in the east, which was the only place outside Du'an City to resist the ghost tide.
From the Du'an city wall, you can vaguely see some huge tree monsters fighting densely with crazy ghosts, which makes the aura in Du'an city slightly better than other cities attacked by ghost tides.
Although they are not the same type of fighting against the crazy ghost, the enemy is a natural allies. The tall tree demons make the many dead souls in Du'an City feel no longer lonely, at least there is something to share the joys and sorrows with them, so that they do not have to face the dual invasion of loneliness and despair.
When the Ghost Locust Tree Demon formation stabilized and the battle reached a deadlock, Wu Sheng could finally breathe a sigh of relief. As long as there is no accident, the self-fighting intelligence of the parasitic core can last for a long time.
The command parasitic core to operate on its own. After a brief relaxation and rest, Wu Sheng began to collect first-hand information about the ghost tide.
The intensity of the ghost tide cannot be determined, because the entire ghost tide has now spread to everything Wu Sheng can observe except the parasitic core guarding area and Du'an City.
Moreover, the ghost tide is constantly moving from east to west, with no end and no weakening trend.
The main component of the ghost tide is endless and endless crazy ghosts. The strength of these crazy ghosts is generally not high, and it is around two stages of the Soul Life and Soul-Chasing Period.
In addition to the crazy ghosts, there are many other chaotic ghosts mixed in.
The chaotic ghosts are not as irrational as the mad ghost. They will not stay in the suicide attack position that charges and is often located in some places where they can move forward or retreat. During the interval between the mad ghost's attack, the chaotic ghost occasionally takes action, and if one fails to hit the attack, some of them will choose to retreat and hide, showing a certain amount of intelligence.
