It's okay for me to bully my wife for the sake of the young master's dignity, right?

Chapter 450 [099] Giant Shadow Hidden

There are still 7 Yin beasts left in the ruins of the Ainu village.

Qin Jiandan looked at these monsters with wolf mouths, lizard bodies and scorpion tails, and planned to do the same. He would first use the Xuanbing Giant Sword to break the solidified black mist on their bodies, find their flaws, and then use the Immortal Spirit Fire to decide the outcome.

However, the Yin beasts on the opposite side began to twist violently. Their shapes became blurred under the entanglement of the black fog, and the shriveled muscles and broken bones inside seemed to be rewoven in this painful transformation.

Mu Yue shouted from behind the police car: "Part of the monster has burrowed into the ground and is heading towards the convoy! Everyone, be prepared!"

Qin Jiandan suddenly became alert. The evil beast was relying on the cover of black fog and wind and sand to tear him apart alive.

"They have transformed into sand snakes." Feng Jian, who was sitting in van No. 1, narrated calmly, "The Yin Beasts are imitating the mutated sand snakes in the desert. If you are pulled under the sand by them, you will die."

Just as Fengjian said, the seven Yin beasts were like clay sculptures kneaded by invisible hands. Their bodies split apart, and with the crisp sound of breaking bones and the wet sound of tearing muscles, they turned into dozens of sand snakes.

! !
Before all the sand snakes burrowed into the ground, Qin Jiandan wanted to seize the initiative, but unexpectedly three sand snakes came back. They pretended to attack the convoy, but turned back halfway, attacked from behind, and entangled Qin Jiandan's feet!
Qin Jiandan activated the black ice blades on the tip of his fists, lowered his head and chopped them down, easily cutting the sand snake into two pieces, which was easier than the previous time he chopped the humanoid Yin beast.

However, the sand snakes' repair speed was amazing. Before they could find a flaw and inject the Eternal Spirit Fire, the nearby sand snakes released some black mist to cover their companions' wounds.

The Yin Beasts imitated the structure of the mutant sand snakes, and their bodies were very soft and flexible, able to move easily through the sand. Combined with the high defensive power of the solidified black fog, once entangled, it was extremely difficult to get rid of it.

Qin Jiandan felt the cold and slippery bodies of the sand snakes tightly wrapped around his feet, with enough force to crush the bones of ordinary people. Although they could not break through the defense of the steel armor breathing method, they successfully restricted Qin Jiandan's movement.

"coming!!"

Mu Yue relied on her super vision to observe every tiny wave of the sand, and when she was close enough, she shot without hesitation, not to hurt the sand snake, but to mark its location to everyone.

The Hizen Demon was eager to perform a meritorious service, so he immediately rushed between the parked police car and Van No. 1, raising the power hammer high in his hand.

"I'll go to yours!"

While smashing, the Hizen Demon pressed the brake switch, and the power-assisted system immediately began to work. As high-pressure gas was released from the back of the hammer, the force of the swing became three times the original. A sand snake that emerged from the ground was the first to be hit and was immediately smashed to pieces.

Dust flew everywhere, and Vale and Mu Yue had to dodge to the sides.

“Hahahaha—let’s see how you guys are going to revive this time!”

For this cleanup operation, it was a wise decision to use strong men carrying heavy weapons instead of ninjas.

Yin Beasts are basically a fast, repairable, transformable zombie, and the only way to kill them is to attack them repeatedly to wear down their remaining vitality.

Great strength brings about miracles. The strong men, led by the Hizen Demon, raised their chain guns, giant swords, axes, and flamethrowers, and prepared to kill the Sand Snakes in advance according to the positions marked by the sheriff's bullets. The results were gratifying.

"You are standing too far outside!" Mu Yue was not as complacent as them. She nervously felt the vibration of the ground around her. "You are standing on the edge of the bright sky. If you stand any further outside, you will be the home ground of the Sand Snakes!"

The flames from the flamethrower surged out from the nozzle, directly attacking the sand snakes that were smashed by heavy weapons, killing them all and reducing them to ashes.

The high temperature made the surrounding air scorching hot. Even if the fighters were standing several meters away, they could still feel the heat wave coming towards them and their skin felt a burning pain.

"Sheriff, what did you say?!"

The scorching flames caused the moisture in the air to evaporate quickly, making the breath dry. Mu Yue felt as if there were grains of sand rolling in her mouth, bringing a frosted discomfort -

Just prepare a bottle of lemon soda in advance.

Mu Yue shook her head, temporarily getting rid of this unrealistic idea.

"I said you are standing at the edge of the bright sky! Everyone retreat five steps!"

The battle was fierce, and everyone's mouth was filled with the taste of burning smoke, which was dry and bitter, making the throat tight.

Mu Yue gave a clear order, but these strong men were all from the Luoying Group's territory and were not Mu Yue's direct subordinates. Seeing that others did not retreat, they also refused to retreat in order to compete for the credit.

The black fog and the Yin beast were both legendary monsters, and the people outside the city kept them a secret. But now that the young master was a role model, they no longer felt they were that scary.

Now I have the chance to kill the Yin Beast with my own hands. Even if I can't get any reward, it will be worth it to brag about it to others afterwards.

For this reason, the strong men were not only unwilling to retreat, but also rushed forward. Once they found any traces of sand snakes, they would rush forward, and several times they almost injured their friendly forces by mistake.

Feng Jian used the loudspeaker in van No. 1: "Listen up, idiots. If anyone disobeys the sheriff's order and refuses to retreat, no matter how great your achievements are, I will sell you to the spider web tunnel to dig for phyllite."

The strong men finally regained some of their senses with cold sweat, and except for a few who got too angry, they began to retreat in an orderly manner. Vale had wanted to help maintain order, but her husky sense of smell was too sensitive, and the chemical smell produced by the flamethrower just now suffocated her. The smell reminded her of sulfur and burning rubber.

"Cough, cough!" Vale used his feet to move the motorcycle under his butt and moved himself to the downwind side.

Suddenly, three cars at the rear of the convoy fell without warning, their wheels sunk into the sand, and the bright skylight generator on the roof was disrupted.

"Swish, swish, swish—"

Some of the sand snakes that were smashed by the strong men disappeared, some reassembled, and some returned to the free black mist. The black mist played a strange tune in the void.

It was like a whisper from the abyss, or the mockery of a demon from hell. These sounds came and went, high and low, and reverberated in their ears, piercing through the fighters' eardrums and striking their souls. The tune seemed to contain endless pain and despair, and every note was like a needle piercing their brains, causing severe headaches.

The world was twisting, reality and illusion intertwined into a series of broken pictures. Every fighter saw the fear that they were most unwilling to face in their hearts. Some fighters saw their families being devoured by sand snakes, and some saw themselves being entangled in black fog and unable to escape despair. These pictures kept changing in front of their eyes, and each switch was like a sharp blade cutting their hearts.

"This is a mental attack!" Vale, who had seen the Black Mist's methods, shouted, "Covering your ears is useless. You guys are just strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Just grit your teeth and hold on!"

As he said these words, Valei also felt a piercing chill running down his spine, as if countless tiny bugs were crawling on his skin. Valei's muscles tensed involuntarily, and he had to try his best to control himself from screaming.

"Some sand snakes went around to the back and hollowed out the ground under the vehicle!" Mu Yue warned everyone loudly while resisting the illusion of her mother dying in the flames.

"The coverage area of ​​the Mingguang Sky Curtain has been reduced! Regroup with Fengjian's van as the center! Defense! Defense is more important!"

Feng Jian said to Mu Yue through the car window: "Sheriff, I'll ask you to take charge and observe whether there are any sand snakes trying to dig out my lower body."

After that, she pressed the button, and with the sound of "Kuka Kaka", Van No. 1 entered the fully covered tortoise shell armor defense state. The main point is that the world has nothing to do with me anymore.

"Ahhhhh..." The burly man with a Mohawk holding the flamethrower, who seemed to have some kind of hallucination, pointed the flamethrower towards his teammates with drooling mouth.

With quick hands and eyes, Vale immediately jumped off the motorcycle, pulled out the electric baton from his waist, and hit Mohawk's exposed abdomen at the highest gear.

"Ahhhhhh!" Mohawk was knocked to the ground by the electric shock from Vale, and his muscles spasmed, releasing the flamethrower that almost caused a tragedy.

The electric baton had consumed a whole bar of power, and Vale looked at the power indicator on the side of the baton with heartache.

The police motorcycle lost balance and fell onto the sand. The side mirror reflected the sunlight onto Vale's face, forcing her to squint.

"You ballless loser!" Vale kicked the mohawk on the ground. "It's all your fault. There's sand in the motorcycle exhaust pipe!"

The crowd gathered around van No. 1 with their backs to each other. The bright sky generator in the van was functioning normally, gradually offsetting the impact of the mental attack. But everyone was panting and still had lingering fears.

The vibration of the ground suddenly increased, and it was hard to tell whether it was real or an illusion, making everyone's nerves tense.

"Don't be afraid." Compared to Valei's curse, Mu Yue preferred to encourage his subordinates. "The young master has dealt with the sand snakes that were entangled with him. Everything will be fine when he comes back to clean up the mess."

Qin Jiandan had already seen the danger that Mu Yue and the others were in. After several strikes, the sand snake under his feet finally lost its ability to revive. Seeing that the battle was getting tense, he did not run back to the convoy quickly, but walked back slowly while observing the surroundings.

"The Yin beasts are getting more and more cunning... Don't act rashly. Wait for me to straighten the crooked cars and restore the bright sky curtain to its previous strength."

In order to better observe the enemy situation, Mu Yue has been standing in the middle position between the police car and Van No. 1, where the view is wide and it happens to be within the overlapping protection range of the two Mingguang Sky Curtain generators.

"Wait... there's something underground! Anyone still behind the convoy, get out of the car and run over here!"

With a deep and terrifying roar as a prelude, the ground suddenly cracked, and an indescribable huge monster that looked like a moving sand dune suddenly jumped out from the ground. Its body was composed of countless grains of sand and solidified black mist. When it drilled out of the ground, it brought out piles of white bones that fell like rain, which was chilling.

Several transport vehicles at the rear of the convoy seemed insignificant in front of its huge mouth. Two of the vehicles were swallowed up in one gulp. Two fighters who failed to jump out of the vehicles in time also failed to escape. With a few screams, they disappeared in an instant, leaving only bloodstains and scattered equipment on the ground.

"This might be the legendary 'Dust Python'." Feng Jian hid in the fully enclosed van No. 1, and seemed to have determined the other party's true identity only by the vibration and everyone's exclamations.

"It is the ancestor of all sand snakes. No one has seen it for many years, yet it unexpectedly appears here."

"Young Master, can you hear me? This was my mistake, and I am willing to accept any punishment afterwards. Our chances of winning are very low now, so I suggest you consider retreating."

After swallowing two transport trucks, the giant sand python dived back into the ground. Its huge body left deep grooves in the desert. The sand rolled like waves, and then gradually calmed down as the giant python sneaked away.

The eyes of the 14 fighters who were still alive were filled with fear and disbelief. All that was left nearby were the wreckage of the destroyed vehicles and the dust that was raised. They cast long shadows in the afterglow of the setting sun, like a sign of death.
