Chapter 173: The War Between Man and Beast (3)
The sky was full of fire and rain, meteors fell, and the sea of ice on the curved wall melted away again and again and re-condensed again and again.
The tug-of-war between the Flame Ravens and the City Guards continued in the white mist formed by the water vapor in the sky.
In the sky, huge blades appeared in the dense red clouds from time to time, and the sharp qi cut through the things that blocked along the way, and from time to time, the flame crows that were split in half were frozen in half by the cold ice qi and fell.
The presence of the current Ice Lord had apparently disrupted the Flame Raven Leader's previous deployment, and the pace of the attack had become a bit stiff as he struggled to maintain a wide range of attacks on the high walls below while hiding himself from detection.
Originally, at this time, it was a good choice to divide troops to attack the front position, or to send elite troops to directly attack the city guards behind the high wall, delaying the formation of the ice sea.
But the threat from the Ice Lord made this highly intelligent demon beast stick to the group, and neither the overall situation nor the clan was as important as their own lives.
Although the Ice Lord is strong, he is just a fledgling little girl in the end, and for an old guy like the Flame Crow Leader who has lived for almost a thousand years, it is not without the power to fight.
It's just that the weight of life has already smoothed out the edges and corners of the demon beasts......
If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to give an account to the old guys in the follow-up troops, the leader of the flame crow would have led the brothers to turn around and leave, and there would not be a trace of nostalgia.
There are countless flame crows in the sky, and playing hide and seek in this huge red cloud is a very fatal thing.
Yang Ziyun's crow's beak became true, and the girl who jumped into the air fought for a while, but finally fell.
The flock of flame crows quickly changed formation, and the girl looked up and sighed regretfully.
The slightest connection was finally broken, and it must have been the leader of the flame crow who had gathered all his breath and hid it. It seems that it is not easy to catch these beasts who have lived for thousands of years.
"Quack" sounded again in a uniform chirp in the red clouds in the sky, but this time it was obviously not a prelude to the attack.
The flock of flame crows retreated in unison at this moment, hovering in the sky miles later.
"The land-crushing herd, it's here!"
Yun Ye is a person with wind ability, and his mastery of wind has reached the highest level that an ability person can achieve. Although they were far away, the fishy smell coming from the wind was still clearly noticed by Yun Ye.
This time the beast tide, the speed of all the demon beasts is actually very fast!
Not long after Yun Ye's words were finished, there was a violent vibration from the earth, and even the tall city walls were gradually shaking, and the shaking amplitude was getting bigger and bigger.
"It's ...... What's wrong?" Yang Ziyun, who had never had a similar experience, turned white with fright, and pulled Xu Chen beside her tightly.
Xu Chen could guess the reason, although he was not shocked, he laughed at himself in his heart: "If this frequency is the same and there is a resonance, this city wall will not be broken!"
All beasts are running together, and the "ten thousand" here can only be regarded as an adjective, and the specific number is far more than that.
Opposite the red cloud in the sky, the wind and dust were rolling on the ground, accompanied by the sound of the sky cracking and shaking, a black wave, carrying the dust in the sky.
The iron hooves trampled on the solid ground and made a loud roar.
The speed of the herd was very fast, and the sky was full of dust and waves. It was close that Xu Chen could see clearly. This black wave is composed of giant beasts with large bodies, thick limbs, and two horns.
"This ...... It's a bit like a rhinoceros!" Xu Chen said secretly in his heart.
It is said that it is somewhat similar, but the appearance of this giant beast has a lot of similarities with the rhinoceros in the outside world, with a pointed head, a wide belly, a short tail, thick and short limbs, rough skin, cracked into lumps, but with a metallic luster, a pair of small eyes that are shining, one long and one short, and two sharp horns are distributed back and forth on the door of the brain.
It's just that the cold bone spurs on the back make this rhinoceros look so weird.
"Iron-armored rhinoceros, this beast is not only infinitely powerful, but also has rough skin and thick flesh, ordinary spiritual weapons can't even break its leather armor, and the sharp horns on its head can even crack the stone, and the impact is extremely strong! If you fight hard, those bone spurs on your back can also burst out, forming a rain of arrows......
Yun Ye continued to act as Xu Chen's narrator.
At this moment, the ironclad rhinoceros had already reached the arc high wall, but its speed did not decrease by half a minute, but accelerated a lot.
Xu Chen found that the sharp horns on the head of the row of iron-armored rhinos at the front actually emitted an earthy yellow light at this moment!
"These are all ironclad rhinos that are equivalent to the cultivation of the foundation building period, and they can only break through the rune array on the high wall by taking the lead!"
Sure enough, as Yun Ye said, when these ironclad rhinos hit the first high wall, the high wall suddenly erupted with a dazzling light.
This is obviously the result of the rune array having been stimulated to the extreme.
The wall did not crack, but after the first row of ironclad rhinos crashed into it, the horns on their heads were deeply embedded in the high wall.
"This ...... Damn, is the leader of the Iron Armored Rhino here too?" Yun Ye said indignantly.
A very strange phenomenon, when the sharp horns of this row of ironclad rhinos pierced into the high wall, the body could not move, Xu Chen found that it turned out that this row of ironclad rhinos did not swarm into it, and there was a big gap between the two.
Immediately afterwards, the ironclad rhinoceros in the second row collided again, and the space reserved in the first row was actually prepared for them!
And then there's the third row, which fills the last gap in the high wall.
The whole three rows of ironclad rhinos are all sharp corners and bright foundation building period cultivation, with the wind and dust in the sky, these three rows of ironclad rhinos are actually running at an equal distance, and they are like arranging troops to maintain a corresponding formation, so as to ensure that the front and rear three rounds of collision can be carried out continuously.
"Three-stage shooting?" Xu Chen suddenly felt funny, what he hadn't come up with as a traverser had been used by a group of brutes in advance, so wasn't he even as good as a brute?
"Damn!" Yun Ye's face became worse and worse.
There was no need to ask, Xu Chen knew that it must be the attack steps of the ironclad rhinoceros that were different from usual.
After three consecutive violent impacts, the light on the first curved high wall finally dissipated, and with a dull cry, the iron armored rhinoceros inserted into the high wall with sharp corners began to be down-to-earth and struggled to raise its head.
Cracks spread across the walls at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the clattering sound kept ringing, and finally, with a bang, the first wall collapsed!
At the moment when the high wall shattered and collapsed, the ironclad rhinoceros in the back row who were a step slower rushed to the front, and when they were about to hit their comrades in the front row, these ironclad rhinos slammed the ground with their front hooves to brake, but the hind hooves stepped on the ground fiercely, and the whole body flew upside down with their backs forward.
"Oops!"
Not only Yun Ye on the city wall, but almost all the soldiers on the position who were outside the fortifications were shocked at this moment.
With a terrible wail, bone spurs with blood shot out of the body, and a row of cold arrows rained down overwhelmingly.
The last blow that the ironclad rhino exchanged for his life was also the strongest blow, the power was naturally extraordinary, the arrow rain struck, and some of the city guards who couldn't dodge were split in half by bone spurs, even if the cultivators in the foundation building period urged the body protection qi with all their might, it was difficult to resist this blow that condensed all their lives.
Severed limbs flew and blood flowed.
Most of the city guards who didn't have time to hide in the fortifications were killed or wounded, even if it was a circular fortification, because the rune array was not fully completed, the defense was much worse than in previous years, and the bone spurs that were thrown were nailed to the fortifications fiercely, and they were deeply rooted one by one, and some even completely penetrated the outer wall, injuring the soldiers inside.
Almost in an instant, a forest of bone spurs appeared on the position of the city guards.
After shooting out the bone spurs, the ironclad rhinoceros fell softly, but it landed right in the deep ditch behind the high wall.
Countless badly wounded ironclad rhinos fell into the deep ditch one by one, accompanied by the fragments of the first high wall.
The sharp thorns in the deep ditch easily broke through the leather armor of the severely injured ironclad rhino, and the poofs continued to sound, but except for the occasional dull gasp, there was no more wailing.
It was as if the ironclad rhinoceros had turned the last of their voices into a blow just now.
No matter how deep the ditch is, there will always be a moment to fill it.
It is also three rows of ironclad rhinoceros in a row, three rows of bone spurs and arrow rain, and three rows of meat shields to fill the ditch.
Those who were responsible for storming the wall at the beginning of the foundation building period ironclad rhinos looked indifferent from beginning to end, with a lot of wisdom, standing quietly beside the deep ditch, coldly watching their companions fill the trench in front of them little by little.
Finally, the trench was filled and passable!
These ironclad rhinoceros from the foundation building period moved again.
Stepping on the bodies of their companions, the ironclad rhinos could not run normally, and therefore could not accumulate enough speed.
It's not because of race, but because the ironclad rhinoceros corpse has not yet stiffened, which is really not a good foothold.
In addition, the distance between the two curved high walls in the front and rear is not far, but the distance of a few zhang is almost completely replaced by a ditch.
The terrain is gradually rising, and the ironclad rhinos can no longer have the same impact power as the first time.
"Damn it!"
After the third arc-shaped high wall, the Ice Lord Zhao Ruoxi, who had just finished the battle, digested an elixir that replenished mana, and stood up again.
The Ironclad Rhino's movements looked cumbersome, but in fact, from the retreat of the Flame Crow to the time the Ironclad Rhino broke through the first high wall, there was no more tea in between.
These people were originally the city guards at the forefront of the battle line, and they were also the people who could prevent the ironclad rhinoceros from breaking through the wall.
It's just that this year's ironclad rhinoceros is too fast!
No, not only the ironclad rhino, but all the demon beasts this year are very fast! Not only is the speed fast, but the attack rhythm is also very different from previous years!
Between advance and retreat, it is orderly and cooperates with each other.
The Flame Crow who arrived first rushed towards the curved wall, only to find that the formation on the curved wall was intact, while there were still people in the front position who were busy carving the rune formation.
Ordinary flame crows may not understand the key, but the leader of the flame crow, which is only a hundred years old, must know it clearly, and he must have used some method to spread the news to the ironclad rhinoceros in the rear.
Therefore, this year's attack of the ironclad rhinoceros will be completely different from previous years, except for the three consecutive collisions, the bone spur projectile that was originally only used at the last moment was used at the very beginning, and the purpose is not difficult to guess.
It must have been to destroy the incomplete fortifications ahead. R1058
