Chapter 511: Black Spider

Jian Linyuan chuckled, "Junior Brother, you're taking too much for granted.""We can spot the demon beast army.""So how could the general commanding the demon beast army not spot us?""How can we possibly take them by surprise?"

Jiang Fan smiled faintly, "Senior Brother, have you forgotten? Our undead army is supposedly an allied force.""Who would expect an ally to attack them?"

"This..."Jian Linyuan pondered for a moment, then still shook his head."Junior Brother, don't underestimate the intelligence of a general.""They fought their way through countless demon beasts to become a general.""Their strength isn't the only thing; their intelligence is also exceptionally high.""In fact, they are extremely cunning.""If you lead the undead army closer, it will definitely be on guard."

Jiang Fan smiled meaningfully."If I lead them, of course, it will be wary.""But if the demon tribe priestess leads them, will it still be on guard?"

Jian Linyuan was surprised.He immediately looked at Yaoyue, realizing, "You intend to use Priestess Yaoyue."

Yaoyue's face changed drastically, and she snapped, "You wish!"

Jiang Fan sneered, "Since you chose me as your consort,""you should understand a saying among humans!""'A wife follows her husband!'""You should do whatever your husband tells you to do.""You have no right to object!"

As he spoke,he used spiritual energy to cleanse the bloodstains from Yaoyue's body and dry her clothes.Thoughtfully, he even re-tied her messy hair.This was to ensure she didn't appear injured on the surface, thereby lowering the general's vigilance.

"How about it? Are you willing to participate?" Jiang Fan asked.

Jian Linyuan was already analyzing the situation on the snow."The snowfield is open, and this demon beast army is lined up in a single row.""If they are unprepared, and our undead army charges at full speed from a hundred zhang away, they should be able topple over more than half of the demon beasts."This was not a wild guess.The undead puppets were enormous, and combined with their explosive speed, their impact was like a mountain striking.Without defense, demon beasts of similar size would find it very difficult to withstand.Toppling half of them was a conservative estimate.

He continued:"The fallen demon beasts' combat strength will be greatly reduced, and facing an attack by undead puppets twice their number, it would be difficult for them to turn the tide.""As for the other half of the demon beasts that withstand the impact, most of them are formidable individuals. Two undead puppets against one would struggle to kill them quickly.""They would only be able to hold them off for about a quarter of an hour."

Jian Linyuan furrowed his brow."After a quarter of an hour, they would most likely deal with these undead puppets and then reinforce the besieged demon beast army.""In that scenario, all would be lost.""Conversely, if our undead puppets can eliminate the fallen demon beasts within a quarter of an hour and then encircle the remaining demon beast army..."

Undoubtedly,they would be victorious.Leng Qingzhu's eyes flickered as she said,"The seven of us, along with Junior Brother Jiang, can help eliminate the fallen demon beasts.""If we control the time to within a quarter of an hour, our chances aren't low at all!"

The others all showed hints of excitement.After this analysis, they realized that their chances of winning this battle were actually not low.However, Jian Linyuan frowned. "This is just considering the conventional combat level.""That general is the decisive force on the battlefield.""And we can't handle him."

Upon hearing this, the few people immediately felt a splash of cold water.Indeed.A ninth-level Core Formation demon beast was worth more than a thousand soldiers!

"I have naturally considered that point," Jiang Fan said calmly.He raised his hand and snapped his fingers.The Nine-Headed Python rumbled over, emanating a terrifying aura far surpassing that of a ninth-level Core Formation beast."The general will be handled by this Nine-Headed Python."

All seven were stunned.Jian Linyuan looked incredulous."Your Boundless Mountain actually managed to defeat such a being?"Setting aside the unknown number of undead troops,just this Nine-Headed Python, plus Priestess Yaoyue, couldn't possibly be handled by so few people, could they?How did those people on Boundless Mountain win such a major battle?Could it be that many Grand Elders were dispatched?

Jiang Fan said nothing more.He took out seven Rejuvenation Pills, seven Spirit Replenishment Pills, and seventy Three-Step Drunk pills."Grade three spiritual pills?" Jian Linyuan gasped."Wait, is this the legendary life-saving divine pill, the Rejuvenation Pill, that's been widely rumored in Sunset City?""And this one, its spiritual energy is terrifyingly rich; could it be for replenishing spiritual power?""And this, with its intoxicating aroma, seems to be specifically for demon beasts."

The other six were also astonished by Jiang Fan's generosity.Jiang Fan said, "With these added, our chances of winning should be even higher, right?"Jian Linyuan's face lit up."Absolutely enough!""As long as there are no unforeseen circumstances, we'll definitely win!"

Jiang Fan nodded.He then began to deploy his forces.To maximize the overwhelming effect on the demon beast army, he placed the robust, larger ones at the front.The smaller ones were placed at the back.At the same time, he arranged them in a single line,to facilitate a head-on collision!

"You won't succeed!" Yaoyue said anxiously.Jiang Fan finally looked at Yaoyue. "The rest is up to you.""Since you're unwilling to cooperate, I'll just have to give you a hand!"He took out an earth-attribute demon core, about the size of an egg and known for its hardness.He forcefully shoved it into Yaoyue's delicate, small mouth.Her mouth was instantly stuffed.She couldn't swallow it, nor could she spit it out.It was incredibly hard to bite through."Mmmph mmmph mmmph!" Yaoyue protested, flailing her fists wildly.Unfortunately, with all her bones broken, she had no strength whatsoever.With a gentle embrace from Jiang Fan, she slumped limply into his arms."My good wife, you must help your husband!"

Immediately, he sprang onto the central head of the Nine-Headed Python.Powerless, she was maneuvered by Jiang Fan into a cross-legged sitting position.Meanwhile,Jiang Fan put on his Tortoise Breath Cloak.Realizing that his Yao tribe blood qi could easily be sniffed out,he deliberately scattered some demon blood nearby.This would help conceal his presence.

Seeing Jiang Fan's meticulous preparations, Jian Linyuan nodded."Junior Brother Jiang's planning is truly thorough.""Since that's the case, we might as well suffer a bit too!"

Leng Qingzhu was still in a daze.Suddenly, Jian Linyuan struck, punching her in the stomach, causing her to spew a large mouthful of blood, staining her clothes."Senior Brother, what are you doing?"Jian Linyuan then proceeded to strike the others, either leaving them bruised and swollen or inflicting internal injuries.Finally,Jian Linyuan gritted his teeth and punched himself.Blood gushed out, staining his clothes.

"Find a rope and pretend to tie yourselves to the undead puppets.""Tie yourselves in conspicuous places!"Only then did the few people understand Jian Linyuan's intention.To prevent their human aura from leaking out and raising an alarm,they would injure themselves and pretend to be captives.

Jiang Fan nodded slightly, seeing that Jian Linyuan's mind was also quite meticulous.Cooperating with such a person brought much more peace of mind.With everything prepared,Jiang Fan's thoughts stirred.The Nine-Headed Python took the lead, guiding the vast undead army towards the demon beast army.

A quarter of an hour later,separated by a snowfield, both sides spotted each other.Under Jiang Fan's command, the undead army maintained a steady, unhurried pace.Meanwhile,within the demon beast army,reclining on the back of a giant beast, was a figure with fair skin, a full chest, and a young, beautiful face.Her charming, eloquent eyes, upon closer inspection, revealed a multitude of tiny pupils.Her lower body consisted of eight spider legs supporting a bulging black spider abdomen!

"Oh, how boring," she said."Since the Demon Emperor secretly dispatched Priestess Yaoyue and her undead army,""what suspense is there in attacking Boundless Mountain, which isn't guarded by any powerful figures?""Sending us to finish it off means no credit and just hard work.""The Demon Emperor truly favors the Priestess lineage, letting them take the lead in everything good.""I think the Demon Emperor is still coveting the old priestess's beauty, his wicked intentions never dying."

Beside her was an igloo carved from ice.Hearing this,a wisp of frost flew out from the igloo, sealing the spider woman's mouth.She let out a soft huff and wiped the ice from her lips."Alright, alright, I know I talk too much, happy now?""Not a single peep the whole way.""It's stifling!"

Just as she was complaining,unexpectedly, she suddenly lifted her chin,looking towards the undead army on the horizon."Huh! That's not right!""Why are there only about two thousand undead puppets?!"Her compound eyes flickered.She had sensed the aura of the undead army from afar earlier,and had assumed it was Priestess Yaoyue returning victorious.But a glance at the number immediately made her vigilant.She instantly commanded, "Everyone stop, be on guard!""There's something wrong with this undead army!"
