Chapter 157: The Kraken Siege
Mu Linyuan and Ao Chu breathed all night, and after recovering their physical condition to the best, they left early the next morning.
It was the first time Ao Chu saw him like a mother-in-law, and he couldn't help but sneer: "You just put her in your portable cave." "That's all it takes to detain ordinary prisoners himself, whether he is protecting or locking people up.
"In case we can't get out, we still need Crane's call for help." Mu Linyuan said indifferently.
Ao Chu was speechless, dare he really think about this? He shook his head and admonished: "You control it too tightly, be careful when she rebounds and sneaks away in private, but it is easier for accidents." "This is Ao Chu's skin pain, and several underage younger siblings below him are causing him trouble like this. This is also the main reason why Ao Chu is reluctant to have children so far, if his younger siblings don't like it, can he ignore it, can he ignore his own cub? He is a green dragon and not a dragon.
"She's my junior sister." What kind of personality is she, don't you know it yourself? The corners of Mu Linyuan's mouth were slightly sunny, He'er was not one of those tenacious demon cubs, "Don't you keep a subordinate?" Mu Linyuan changed the topic and asked, he was not interested in discussing his junior sister with Ao Chu, he did not object to He'er finding a partner in the future, but the object must not be a race that is in heat everywhere.
"They're next door, and if we don't come back after three days, he'll come to your junior sister." Ao Chu said.
Mu Linyuan bowed slightly, and after the two of them left the city, the sword light disappeared in an instant. In Ao Chu's courtyard, Changning sent away his senior brother and Ao Chu, who was a little restless, and did not return to Qingwuju to practice, but sat in the courtyard to enjoy the scenery. Although the sparrows in Ao Chu's small courtyard are small, they have all kinds of organs, there are gardens in the front and back, the front yard is warm like spring, and the back yard is cold and snowy, two completely different worlds.
The courtyard is full of all kinds of spiritual plants, and there is a small pond in the front garden, Changning initially thought it was an ordinary fish pond, but later found out that these fish ponds turned out to be a small marine world, and the small fish swimming in it were actually sea creatures, and she also found a few killer whales in the pool. This is a space spell, right? is really worthy of being the eldest prince of the dragon clan, and he is really generous, and even a small courtyard is so luxuriously arranged.
Shen Baobao was lying on the edge of the pond playing in the water, the jade toad turned into its original form, squatting on the stone pier and swallowing the aura, Changning sat under the porch in the front yard, took out the Tianqingcheng mud to make tea, the tea fragrance was curling, Changning held the tea cup in a daze, it was not a daze, she just released a Zhiyin puppet wandering in the city, the senior brother did not let her go out for safety reasons, she took advantage of the Zhiyin puppet to visit the entire ice city.
Looking at the various artifacts made of ice jade in the city, as well as the shops selling ice jade all over the city, she realized what her senior brother meant when he said that ice spirit is the most common equipment here, ice jade is used for weapon refining, ice spirit is used for building houses, and even ice jade is used for making zuΓ² talismans.
"Brother Mu, is there really so much use for the ice jade refined here? Do you know how the ice jade here is refined? Changning asked. She was restless, she couldn't calm down for the time being, so she didn't force herself to cultivate, but she wasn't used to doing nothing, this was too much of a waste of time, it was better to study the refining of ice jade.
Mu Da took out a roll of bamboo slips and handed it to Changning, and took out three kinds of ice jade, "Girl, this is the refining method of ice jade, but the refining method of ice jade that is circulated in the sea market is the refining method of lower-grade ice jade, and the refining method of ice jade above the middle grade is a secret that is not passed down by each family, and the best ice jade is rare, and the subordinates have not collected it for the time being." "The information of the ice jade has been collected by Muda before he came to the Ice Sea, the refining of ice jade is not a secret, it is widely spread in the Abyss Sea, Muda not only collected the ice jade refining method, but also collected the experience of many predecessors in refining ice jade.
"Thank you, Brother Mu." is really worthy of being a subordinate of the senior brother, and he acts almost the same as the senior brother, and everything is prepared in advance.
"That's what subordinates should do." Mu Da said respectfully.
Changning was not in a hurry to see the ice jade refining method, and first rubbed and played with the three kinds of ice jade collected by Mu Da, the lower grade ice jade gave her the feeling that it was a harder ice cube, and the ice jade above the middle grade had a fundamental change from the material, if she didn't know in advance that this was an ice jade made by the condensation of ice crystals, she would think that it was some kind of hard spirit jade.
"Auntie, kill-" The baby ran towards Changning with his little short legs, and the little fat pinched a small fish that was only thumb long, "Kill!" "It's seen this fish, and my aunt showed it to it.
Changning put down the ice jade, hugged the baby into his arms, rescued the poor little shark from the baby's clutches and threw it into the pond, and wrote a "shark" and a "kill" word on the ground in human and demon characters, "Baby, this is called a shark, not a killing fish." "Changning has no teacher to understand the ancient demon language, today's demon script is much simpler than the ancient, she studied for a while in her spare time, it may be a little difficult to communicate with the demon, but reading is no longer a problem.
Shen Baobao blinked, tilted his big fat head and tried to write down the four seemingly complicated fonts, his eyes were almost faint into mosquito coils, Changning kissed its brain, "The baby is the smartest, I will definitely be able to remember these four words today, right?" β
Little Fat Ginseng was coaxed by her aunt's soft words, and immediately swore that she must remember these four words today, Changning nodded with satisfaction, Little Ginseng is not very big now, and it is very good to be able to remember four words a day.
Yu Toad envied Shen Baobao for being coquettish in Changning's arms without scruples, and she also understood that Changning would definitely not treat herself like a baby, and her goal now was to be a demon like Muda. Mu Da is not Mu Shibo's disciple, but he is Mu Shibo's confidant, and his status is much more important than Mu Shibo's several registered disciples, "Girl, I see that the ice jade of the lower grade and the ice jade above the middle grade do not seem to be of the same material, is it different from the raw materials for refining?" She jumped in front of Changning and asked, she can't be coquettish with the girl, and it's good to ask the girl more questions.
"It should be the same material, but the refining method is different." Changning said that the refining method of the lower grade ice jade is very simple, that is, the ice crystals in the surrounding cold air are refined and condensed into a piece of cold ice. The role of the monk is to compress and overlap the ice crystals in the ice, fuse them more closely, the denser the ice crystals, the higher the quality of the ice jade, and some of the top ice jade is hard enough to be comparable to the essence of hardware.
After reading this refining method, Changning thought of diamond and carbon, the atomic arrangement is different, and the texture is also different, it is estimated that the material of the lower grade ice jade and the ice jade above the middle grade looks different, also because the ice crystal arrangement is different. This kind of secret is worthless to put it bluntly, no wonder even if the ice jade above the middle grade penetrates, it makes it impossible to find out the arrangement of the ice crystals.
"How much difference can the ice crystals be arranged differently?" Yu Toad asked in surprise, and Muda also looked at Changning curiously.
"It should be much worse." Changning probably remembered that the atomic arrangement of the diamond was honeycomb-shaped, and she tentatively condensed the ice crystals and slowly refined the ice jade.
Because of the first refining, Changning's refining was intermittent, and it failed several times halfway, but Muda could still see that the ice jade refined by Changning was of medium grade or above, and he really deserved to be the younger sister of Gongzi!
Jade Toad'er almost drooled when she saw these ice jades, and her big eyes turned to look at the discarded ice jades, "Girl, are you still using these ice jades?" β
"You want ice jade?" Changning asked.
"Yes, these ice jades look delicious!" The jade toad nodded her little head again and again.
"This is ice crystals, will it be too cold for you to eat it?" Changning was a little worried, so he broke a little to feed her first.
Jade Toad stretched out her head and swallowed it in one gulp, her big eyes narrowed into two slits, and she looked at the remaining ice jade in Changning's hand, Changning gave her all the ice jade, anyway, she couldn't use it, Toad could actually eat ice jade, "When Senior Brother comes back, I'll ask someone to buy you some ice jade." "Changning has always been very generous to the people around him.
"Thank you, girl!" Jade Toad croaked twice with joy, and as soon as the voice fell, everyone heard it again, "Smack!" Syllable! Two sounds, followed by the sound of dense rain.
As soon as Changning raised his head, it actually rained heavily in Bingcheng, Changning was very strange, how could it rain at such a low temperature? At the very least, it should be snowing, right?
Mu Da's face changed slightly, "Girl, quickly launch all the formations!" β
"What's going on?" Changning asked after activating the formation of the small courtyard.
Mu Da said with a cautious expression, "I don't know the specific subordinates, but it is impossible for Bingcheng to rain so heavily." There is a defensive formation here, and it is impossible for ordinary rain and snow to break through the ice city's defenses. β
"Are you saying that this is a man-made control?" Changning asked.
"Yes." Muda affirmed.
Changning swept her senses and found that the courtyards near them had fallen into the rain, she frowned slightly, and as soon as she raised her hand, she included Yu Chan'er and Shen Baobao in Bai Yujing, "Brother Mu, let's go to the house." β
As soon as the two entered the house, they heard a knock at the door.
"Who?" Muda asked in a low voice.
"I'm a subordinate of the eldest prince, Miss Shen's situation is a little wrong now, can my subordinates come in first?" A gentle voice rang out.
Changning heard the senior brother mention that Ao Chu's guards were next door, "You come in." "If it is Ao Chu's guard, there must be a jade talisman that can enter and exit the formation.
A handsome man in Tsing Yi hurriedly entered, saluted Changning and said, "My subordinates have seen Miss Shen, Miss Shen is in an urgent situation now, please leave here with me first." β
"Let's go? Where to go? Changning raised his hand to weaken the formation in the courtyard by one layer, allowing the raindrops to fall into the courtyard.
"Although the subordinates don't know who is coming, this is the prelude to the Sea Clan's siege, and Miss Shen is a golden body, or is it safe to avoid it for the time being." The Tsing Yi guard said.
"Run? How do you want to escape? Changning raised her eyebrows and asked, she didn't know if the Tsing Yi guard knew the situation outside, but the Yin Demon Puppet she sent out had clearly seen that the entire ice city was surrounded by an overwhelming demon army, led by four dragons, and it was these four dragons who controlled the rain in the ice city.
As soon as the Tsing Yi guard wanted to speak, Mu Da stepped forward with his sword and said, "We are each our own master, each doing our own thing, and we have nothing to do with each other, you leave this building immediately!" β
The Tsing Yi guard was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Changning, "Miss Shen, before leaving, the eldest prince instructed his subordinates to protect Miss Shen." β
"But before Senior Brother left, I asked me to listen to Big Brother Mu for everything." Changning said with a simple face.
"But-" The Tsing Yi guard still wanted to speak, but Muda had already drawn his sword and said, "If you don't leave, don't blame me for not recognizing people with my sword!" β
Changning also took out a gourd Gengjin Thunder Bead, and stared at the Tsing Yi guard vigilantly, the sword talisman in his hand seemed to be about to be activated, and the Tsing Yi guard raised the attic with a wry smile, "Miss Shen, do you have a sea chart?" If you are rash, you may hit the sea army! β
Mu Da said coldly: "Don't bother you! β
Changning impatiently raised his hand and threw a handful of thunder beads at the Tsing Yi guard, which frightened the Tsing Yi guard and rolled on the spot and escaped from the attic, frightened, how could this Shen girl say that she would do it?
As soon as Changning waited for the Tsing Yi guards to leave, he activated all the formations set by his senior brother and instructed Mu Da, "You go to my Bai Yujing first, we have to leave here immediately!" She didn't care why the water demons outside attacked the city, she only knew that sooner or later, this small courtyard would be exposed to the eyes of the demon soldiers outside because it was different, and it was no longer safe here, and she had to leave immediately. As for the guard left by Ao Chu, who knows what the way it came from, and when he fled for his life, Chang Ning didn't want to add uncertainties.
"But there are so many demon soldiers out thereβ" Muda hesitated.
"I have a magic weapon of invisibility, as long as my breath is not chaotic, no one will find me." Changning said in a hurried tone: "Come in!" β
Mu Da didn't dare to hesitate, Ren Changning put himself in Bai Yujing, Changning first changed into a waterproof fish scale suit in the middle of Qingwu, and then pulled out the golden light and red silk body, put on the hidden cicada wings, and sat cross-legged on the windowsill on the second floor, the rain outside was getting more and more urgent, and many small courtyards nearby were also washed away by the rain, and only the place where the high-ranking monks in the west lived in the city could still withstand the rain.
Although Changning let Mu Da enter Bai Yujing, she didn't leave immediately, she was still waiting, the gate of the ice city could still be broken, and the demon soldiers hadn't entered yet, so she had to wait for this opportunity.
"Whoa-" Thick lightning flashed through the air and slammed into the ice city's rain cover! A earth-shaking dragon roar sounded, the wind and rain in the city became more intense, the sky and the earth were white, and the stagnant water on all the streets of the ice city instantly became a small river, at the same time, some strange demon beasts fell with the pouring rain, and those demon beasts began to attack the monks who fled on the road after falling to the ground, and a demon cultivator was caught in two by a monster beast that resembled a crab, and was sent into an open mouth!
Boom - the rain became more and more intensive, and finally the rain on the ice field was connected with the coast, and the waves rolled in, countless krakens roared and shuttled in the waves, and from time to time they scooped up the monks from the bottom of the water and swallowed them in their mouths, whether they were demon cultivators or human cultivators, some even the same kind of sea tribes did not let go.
Changning's expression was solemn, this seemed to be a posture of rushing to kill, what was the identity of the monk who was besieging the city? With such a strong force, it is more than enough to capture a water country, how can you fall in love with such a small place as Ice City? How many dragons can dragons have? What kind of dragon clan can make Jiaolong be the siege vanguard? Changning had a faint guess in his heart, these demon soldiers wouldn't be here to kill Ao Chu, right?
The gates of the ice city are in the "Bang! Under a shocking bang, it was broken by the waves, the rolling waves surged, the waves hit outside the small courtyard, the formation of the small courtyard shook a few times, and stabilized down, Changning and the first wave of flood peaks calmed down slightly, jumped into the river outside the small courtyard, and flowed down the water.
