The word "severe" has not fallen, and the huge venue has been silent.

No one shouted, no one cursed, everyone was silent.

As early as the moment they stepped into the front line, they had such awareness and determination.

It's just a matter of time.

Beiran's contemplative voice continued to echo in everyone's ears: "As the most critical link in the defense system, Shenyuan Star...... There must be no room for error, otherwise it will lead to a series of collapses, and in the end there will only be a meteor left to support it, but it will eventually be unsustainable, so ......"

"Eight hours. ”

She suddenly raised her voice and said resolutely, "According to the time here, we must hold on for eight hours, so that we can wait for the support of other stars." ”

Everyone understood what she meant, although the severance of the communication was an unexpected situation, but after the construction of the Jiuchen Gate defense system was completed, the nine stars would be connected as a whole, and they would make routine contact and report every once in a while.

If there is no new news from the Senyuan Star side for a long time, the Shenyuan Star Headquarters will naturally realize the problem.

However, the teleportation array could not be used, so the reinforcements from other stars could not arrive immediately, and they could only arrive by driving the star boat, and it was likely to be intercepted by the Dao Spirit Clan halfway, which was the most time-consuming thing.

So eight hours is just an estimate of Beiran, maybe it can be faster, maybe it ...... You can't necessarily wait for reinforcements for a day or two.

After all, the hole cards of the Dao Spirit Clan seem to be endless, and no one knows what terrible weapons of war they have researched for more than 10,000 years.

Golems, Gray Spots...... There may be more, more ......

Their plans have always been linked.

"Now, then, everyone listen to me and prepare for battle. ”

Bei Ran's gaze slowly swept over everyone's faces, and that resolute gaze made her right hand holding the hilt tremble slightly, and then clenched it even harder.

"According to the previous division, the first echelon is responsible for the air defense line, and cooperates with the Star Great Array to block the Dao Spirit Clan puppets, so as to disrupt the opponent's formation, and set off immediately!"

In the silence, more than a thousand cultivators had formed a battle formation and flew up, and a large area of the field was suddenly empty.

Bei Ran didn't look up to see them leave, and continued: "The second echelon is responsible for responding and blocking, acting in the form of a brigade, responding to the retreat of the first echelon personnel, and at the same time encircling and suppressing the single puppets of the Daoling Clan, reducing the pressure on the third echelon, because the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, if there is any abnormality, use the walkie-talkie to communicate at any time!"

"The third echelon, guarding the main city of Shenyuan, no matter the cost, no matter what, you must keep the enemy outside the city gate and survive these hours!"

"The fourth echelon is responsible for garrisoning important places in the city, operating formations to cooperate with the third echelon to fight, except for the spirit clan soul masters, the rest of the soul masters act with the fourth echelon in the form of squads. ”

"Now, each in his place!"

Since he had rehearsed countless times before the Dao Spirit Clan's attack, Bei Ran only used a few short words, and everyone took the order in an orderly manner.

When the martial arts arena was empty, Bei Ran stepped off the high platform and took one last look at the dense gray spots above his head.

"Why...... There's always a bad premonition......"

Bei Ran muttered in a low voice, forcibly suppressed his restless mood, and strode away.

......

"What do you think...... Will there be reinforcements?"

High in the sky, Murong Xin'er looked at the dark blue light circulating on the large array barrier, and her voice was very soft, as if she was asking herself.

She and Xiao Xiao each led a second-echelon team, closely watching all possible changes.

Xiao Xiao was silent for a moment, and then replied, "He will come." ”

"I know, but ...... The Dao Spirit Clan also knows. Murong Xin'er said.

"So, there are two possibilities. ”

Yu Xiao narrowed his eyes, wanting to see those incoming war puppets through the large array of light curtains, but in the end he found nothing, so he slowly exhaled and said: "One, the Dao Spirit Clan is confident that the reinforcements will be blocked outside the Senyuan Star, including Yu Ling and the senior of the Gu Ling Clan......"

Murong Xin'er calmly took over his words: "Second, they are confident that they will capture Shenyuan Star within a few hours. ”

Xiao Xiao showed a self-deprecating smile: "I wonder which big man from the Dao Spirit Clan is here this time?"

Murong Xin'er didn't respond again, not knowing what she was thinking.

The first-echelon cultivators guarding inside and outside the Star Great Array were already busy, and they were wandering according to a specific node, as if they were integrated with the formation, and disappeared into the deep sea of blue light.

After a long and unsettling wait, one after another hideous, pitch-black war puppets finally appeared in their small field of vision.

A large array of blue light sparkled on the vast black tide puppet, like a vague and frozen ink painting, and when the speed of the comer was fast enough to a certain extent, it seemed to be still.

In an instant, the distance between the two sides was very close, very close.

He and Murong Xin'er's team each distanced themselves, and they were ready to block in silence.

The black tide like a dark cloud overwhelmed the blue light of the formation, and the cultivators of the first echelon were like tiny dust, instantly overwhelmed by the darkness, as if they had never existed.

With just one face, more than half of the cultivators in the first echelon had already suffered casualties.

However, the surging black tide was finally disrupted, like a menacing wave, diverted by those silent and silent reefs.

It's just that the puppets don't feel pain, they don't feel anything, they faithfully carry out their established mission, and even if they are strangled into powder by the Star Array, their progress will not be slowed down in the slightest.

Ordinary Star Arrays usually only have defensive capabilities, but when the defense system of Jiuchen Gate was first constructed, Yun Mengdie had fully considered the possibility of a large-scale attack by the puppets, and the large array designed was almost ineffective against the enemy, but was more born to kill the enemy.

Therefore, when many puppets tore out the first gap in the Star Array, their originally dense formation also seemed to be much more scarce.

"Report! A small number of puppets have attacked the formation, the second echelon pay attention, and prepare to intercept it! No whereabouts of the Dao Spirit Clan have been found yet, and the report is complete!"

Listening to the hoarse voice on the other end of the walkie-talkie, Xiao Xiao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Action!"

Without too many orders, the entire team had tacitly surrounded a lone puppet, with the warrior charging in front and the qi refiner enveloping the spiritual skills that had been brewing one after another.

But the strange thing is that the puppet is motionless in place, with no intention of dodging or defending at all.

Something doesn't seem right......

It wasn't the first time he had dealt with such puppets, and he knew very well that these puppets themselves were equivalent to moving killing arrays, and they also incorporated the essence of ancient astrology.

Normally, the puppet in front of him should have flexibly broken through from the blockade of the heavy spiritual skills and launched a counterattack against them.

Although there was no warning at this time, his rich combat experience still prompted him to instinctively issue an order: "Everyone, retreat for the time being!"

The stormy offensive of everyone suddenly stalled, and no one could understand why Xiao Xiaoxiao gave up this excellent fighter, but they did not question his decision, and immediately changed their formation and quickly retreated.

It was at this moment......

"Click-"

Something seems to have shattered.

The source of the sound was none other than the Dao Spirit Clan puppet who had withstood a wave of fierce attacks.

The black shell on its body suddenly cracked, and a dark gray strange light flowed through the cracks, and in the blink of an eye, the puppet's whole body was covered with terrifying cracks, like delicate porcelain about to break.

His pupils shrank, and he saw that all the puppets in his field of vision had undergone such a change, and the most terrifying thing was that he didn't sense the danger coming.

"Hurry back!"

He anxiously searched for Murong Xin'er's trace, but in despair he found that as a martial artist of the Immortal Realm, she was holding a long sword against the head of a puppet and fell into a brief staze.

Murong Xin'er seemed to hear a small roar, and her body floated back like catkins, but those dark gray rays had already spilled out from the cracks on the puppet's body.

It's like a great river bursting its banks and a torrent rushing.

The dark ash of dead silence blooms like a flower of death, blooming from the puppet's body, replacing all colors.

Then the whole world was stained with desolation and gloom, as if frozen in the coldest winter, and everything ended in withering, and even thoughts no longer worked.
