Chen Lin swung his spear and chopped it down at the big bird, but the big bird circled in the air, dodged his attack, and took the opportunity to grab his arm with its claws that shone with metallic luster, and blood immediately flowed out!
Chen Lin was shocked that the bird actually broke through his defenses!
His body is already comparable to ordinary magical weapons. This means that the attack power of this bird has at least reached the level of the middle stage of Qi training
The middle stage of Qi training does not sound high, but it is very important here. Chen Lin could not help but stare at the other party closely, fearing that the bird would rush into the group of cultivators below, which would cause the team of these cultivators to collapse instantly.
However, what made him feel a little relieved was that although the big bird had a high attack power, it did not have any other special abilities and could only grab and peck.
And this thing seemed to be at odds with him, attacking only him.
If the attack missed, it would raise its head up into the sky, and then swoop down like lightning.
The opponent's body was very flexible, and Chen Lin failed to hit him several times in a row. He simply threw away the spear and grabbed the opponent with his bare hands.
Seizing the opportunity, the long bird beak was grabbed, and regardless of the opponent's two huge claws grabbing at him, he swung it and smashed it to the ground.
After being hit for dozens of times, the big bird finally lost its vitality, and his hands were covered in blood.
"Bang!"
Just when Chen Lin was about to check whether the strange bird was dead or not, its body suddenly exploded, turned into a distorted human face, and then drilled into the mark on his wrist.
Chen Lin was stunned.
When I killed the armored monsters before, there was only a trail of gas after they died. Why did this big bird have a human face
Could it be that all the monsters here were formed after the death of the monks
Although he was surprised, Chen Lin had no time to care about other things. At this moment, another big bird rushed in and pounced directly into the group of monks below. In a blink of an eye, two monks were caught and killed.
Even though these monks were wearing armor, they were no match for the strange bird.
If the team of monks were to collapse, he would not be able to defend the hill by himself. If something happened to Tan Tai Yun Jin, no one would be able to get out.
In order to keep his body flexible, Chen Lin did not wear armor. After a few dives, he arrived at the foot of the mountain. Just then, a strange bird swooped down on a monk, and he was caught by him.
Following the same method, after a few throws and beatings, the big bird exploded and turned into a human face, and drilled into the mark on the wrist.
Only then did he notice that the Yin spirit energy contained in this man's face was much stronger than that of the armored monsters. After killing only two of them, many of the marks were lit up.
Chen Lin's powerful performance boosted the morale of the monks, and they killed the armored monsters that rushed in one by one.
However, the good times did not last long. As time went on, the monsters outside became more and more violent, while the light of the giant gourd magic weapon on the top of the mountain became weaker and weaker, and the monsters began to rush in in large numbers!
There was nowhere to run at this point, so everyone could only fight for their lives. Everyone was bloodthirsty.
The same went for Chen Lin. At the moment, there was not a single good spot on his body as they were all caught by the strange birds. However, he did not let any strange bird escape from his hands. Instead, a silver-armored monster rushed to the top of the mountain and scared him.
Fortunately, Luan An and Xu Mingyuan risked their lives to fight for him, allowing him to return to his rescue and kill him.
After the silver-armored monster died, a human face appeared. What shocked Chen Lin was that this human face was 70% similar to Zuo Zhiling!
Sure enough, his judgment was correct. These evil spirits and monsters were all transformed from the people who died here.
If he died here, he would not be able to escape this fate.
"My fellow Taoists, hold on, there is less than an hour left!"
As midnight approached, more and more monsters rushed in, and nearly one-third of the monks died. There were signs of collapse, and Chen Lin had to speak out to encourage them.
At this moment, he was also exhausted. After all, he had no mana to replenish his body, and after fighting for so long, the little strength he had was almost consumed.
The others were in even worse shape. Even Luan An and several others on the top of the mountain collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion. Tan Tai Yun Jin also picked up a spear and went into battle himself.
After another round of fighting, the monsters' attack finally slowed down. The remaining ones were very afraid of the spiritual weapon gourd and had no intention of rushing in for the time being, which gave everyone a chance to catch their breath.
In this way, everyone spent another half hour in silence.
During this period, there were a few monsters that broke in, but they had no impact.
Chen Lin breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that it should be safe. Next it would depend on whether Tan Tai Yun Jin could recover his magic power and break through the space here.
Even the intensity of the monster attack surprised him. According to the information obtained from interrogating the silver-armored man's men, there had not been so many monsters on previous full moon nights, and they had not been so violent, otherwise they would not have been able to survive for several years.
Even so, they always had a lot of casualties, so there were so few people in the village.
The more people die, the more monsters are produced, and the more monsters there are, the more people will die. It's a vicious cycle.
If the situation were always like this time, people would have died long ago.
Moreover, according to the results of previous interrogations, after every full-moon night, the people here would become manic due to the violent energy entering their bodies, and they needed women to balance and relieve the pain. As a result, few women here lived long.
Chen Lin couldn't help but sigh that no matter in which world, women and children are the ones who suffer the most in troubled times.
Shaking his head to stop thinking about it, he looked at his wrist again.
Most of the drum mark above has changed color, but the tiny part that remains will not change no matter what, even if it absorbs a lot of Yin energy.
This reminded him of what Tan Tai Yun Jin said. If he wanted to fully activate the mark, it would not be enough to rely on the Yin energy of ordinary monsters. He needed to kill high-level monsters. Previously, he thought that the strange bird with a human face was a high-level monster, but now it seems that it is not.
According to his guess, the monster that only produced negative energy after being killed should be the transformation of a Qi-cultivating cultivator after his death, while the one that produced a human face was a foundation-building cultivator.
Then the more advanced ones can only be the ones transformed after the death of the Jindan cultivator!
Not to mention whether there is such a monster here, even if there is, Chen Lin does not want to encounter it. He no longer fantasizes about activating the mark, as long as he can leave.
Time passes by little by little.
Just when Chen Lin thought that everything would remain peaceful until midnight and he was feeling more and more relaxed, he suddenly saw a flash of golden light in the distance.
"What is that!"
As the monk exclaimed, golden light shot out and arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye.
It turned out to be a golden crow!
The crow seemed to be completely unaffected by the spiritual gourd. It rushed directly into the village, then spewed out a mouthful of fire at the monk on the first line of defense, instantly burning the monk and causing him to scream in agony.
Is this the three-legged golden crow
Chen Lin's heart trembled. This golden crow was the only monster he had encountered since entering this place that could attack with magic. It reminded him of the ancient powerful creature, the three-legged golden crow.
However, when he took a closer look and saw that the crow only had two legs, he felt relieved. If it was really a monster of the divine beast level, they would all be wiped out today.
Even so, this golden crow was very powerful and could attack from a distance, leaving the monks helpless. The intensity of its flame was also extraordinary, and it burned two more to death in the blink of an eye.
The remaining monks began to retreat frantically towards the mountain, ignoring all orders.
"Don't panic, everyone spread out and attack with spears!"
Chen Lin shouted as he left the crowd and ran to the top of the mountain. He asked Tan Tai Yun Jin anxiously, "Senior, isn't it time yet?"
Tan Tai Yun Jin also had a solemn expression. He closed his eyes and sensed it for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, it's not time yet, but it should be soon. I can already sense a little bit of the breath of the Moonlight Power."
Chen Lin looked unhappy.
In just a moment, more than a dozen monks died in the crow's flames.
With more than half of them dead or wounded, the remaining monks were terrified to the extreme and they all ran frantically up the mountain, not knowing that the smaller the area of the mountain top was, the more crowded they were, which was just conducive to the monster's fire attack.
Chen Lin didn't dare to take the flames head-on, so he could only move around and guard against Zhao Mengru and Tan Tai Yunjin being attacked.
As for the life and death of others, he didn't care.
In fact, even if it was Tan Tai Yun Jin, he would not risk his life to protect her. If the other party died, at most he would lose a way to leave, and he could still leave by activating the mark.
The reason why he never backed down was because he still had a trump card to use and he was not at the end of his rope.
After narrowly dodging another blast of fire, Chen Lin looked towards Tan Tai Yun Jin.
The other party still appeared very calm, with his eyes closed, sensing intently, as if he didn't care about life or death at all.
This calm mentality made him feel inferior. He was worthy of being a Jindan cultivator, but he was still far from it.
Infected by the other party, Chen Lin also calmed down, but before he could calm down, he felt the ground shaking, followed by a series of muffled sounds coming from a distance.
Then, a golden giant as big as a hill appeared in his sight, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat again.
Another golden monster!
Such a monster was undoubtedly formed after the death of a Jindan cultivator. One was already too much to deal with, but unexpectedly another one came, and it seemed even more powerful.
Chen Lin glanced at Tan Tai Yun Jin. The other party had not made any movement yet. He knew he could not wait any longer.
Although no one knows why the monsters are so powerful this time, even golden monsters that have never appeared before appear one after another, but now is not the time to pursue them, and we cannot place our hopes on Tan Tai Yunjin again.
He glanced at the golden-armored giant slowly approaching, then looked at the mark on his hand, and a look of determination flashed across his face.
He didn't know whether the spiritual power of a golden monster could fully activate the mark, but he could only give it a try!
"careful!"
At this moment, after the golden crow burned two monks to death, it actually pounced towards Zhao Mengru!
Chen Lin roared, threw the spear in his hand and followed closely behind.
"Throw me up, quick!"
He leaped into the air, stepped on the shoulders of a monk, and shouted loudly.
The monks around immediately rushed over and threw it up together. Chen Lin took advantage of the momentum to fly into the air and grabbed one of the golden crow's claws.
The crow immediately gave up on Zhao Mengru and spewed out a flame at Chen Lin!
Chen Lin's eyes became sharp and his face became ferocious. He did not try to avoid the flames, but instead used force to bring the crow in front of him. It opened its mouth in the blazing flames and a stream of sword energy shot out!
