Chapter 46: Confrontation
The next day, early in the morning.
The herd attacked again.
It's still the same as yesterday, just sending ordinary beasts as cannon fodder to test the defense power of this county town!
The outbreak of the beast tide without the participation of the demonic beast in the attack is extremely unreasonable. The only possibility is that the leader of the herd is waiting, waiting for an opportunity to break through the city's defenses in one fell swoop!
A month later!
Phew!
An arrow pierced the herd, and a bison was shot through the neck and pinned to the ground. Tianxing shook his aching arm, took a few steps back, and was replenished by another soldier to the battlement, taking over and continuing to shoot.
For a whole month, the city was always under the city with ordinary beasts of all kinds constantly storming the city walls. A single ordinary beast can't rush to the city wall, but it can't stand the beasts, and there are many beasts with powerful impact among the beasts, if you ignore it, it will also be a great threat to the city wall!
There are too many beasts under the city wall, and they may be stacked like arhats to make a stepping stone for the beasts behind!, so it is necessary to shoot the beast before it gets close to the city wall, this is the safest way!
Countless beasts were shot every day, and the six thousand regular troops had already been rotated, ready to support them in the rear. Tens of thousands of recruits from the village city defense team were all sent to the city wall to defend, and the recruits were divided into three batches to take turns.
Tianxing retreated, and came down to the city wall to the resting point. Usually I don't let myself shoot until my arm is sore, but I am starting to feel a little anxious, I want to end this beast tide as soon as possible, I can't wait to jump off the city wall and go to the back of the beast tide to find the leader of the beast tide!
Since breaking through to the skin refining stage more than a month ago, he has hardly cultivated well. Originally, it was too late to break through the skin refining stage from the bone refining stage, and now this beast tide with no signs of ending made his heart even more anxious!
When defending the city wall, there are more and more, I want to kill more beasts, I just want to kill this group of beasts quickly, although I know that my personal role in such a beast tide is small!
"Tianxing, what's wrong with you? In the past half a month, you have become more and more anxious, and the time on the city wall is far longer than the rest of the soldiers. I've never seen you like this, what's wrong?"
Werther, who had just come down from the city wall to rest, asked with some concern.
"Uncle Werther, I don't have a big deal, it's just that this beast tide with no sign of ending makes me a little anxious.
I haven't cultivated for a long time, and now standing on the city wall and shooting arrows like this has no effect on my cultivation. My cultivation is all planned, and watching the passage of time, there is less and less time left for me. "I didn't hide it, and I told the situation in a series of ways.
"Hey, we have no other way to this beast tide, only passive defense, and if you take the initiative to attack, manpower and strength are not allowed.
Once you send a master deep into the herd, you are likely to face a situation where you will be alone and have no help. But even if the strength is enough, it is basically impossible to find the leader of the beast tide.
What do you need for cultivation? "Werther is also very helpless, this is not something that the soldiers at the bottom can solve, and now even the top can only passively adopt defensive strategies.
"Hey, what I need for my cultivation is quite special. It needs a place where the high temperature and low temperature are very large for cultivation. Only places where the heat and cold alternate are suitable. "Telling the truth about the problem is also to see if Uncle Witt is likely to provide some clues.
"It's easy to find a single hot and a single cold place, and I've heard of places that alternate between hot and cold. "Werther also has no clue to solve this problem.
"Do you have to be in a place where the heat and cold alternate to cultivate?" Witt continued.
"Well, if I could alternate my skin between hot and cold. Tianxing thought for a moment and said.
"Alternating heat and cold......? Oh, by the way, maybe the magician has a way here.
I once heard of a magical beast called the Flame Ice Beast, whose blood dripped on people, and it was extremely painful, sometimes extremely hot and sometimes extremely cold.
Many mages collect blood, hair, and bones from various magical beasts for experiments. Master Lane Magician happens to be in the county seat, maybe he has the blood of the Flame Ice Beast here. Werther thought maybe he could try this way.
"But I don't know Lane Magician, all mages are very mysterious and withdrawn people, how can he take care of me as a soldier.
And even if Lane Magician takes care of me, if he wants to get the blood of the Flame Ice Beast, he will definitely need to exchange it for an equal price. "Although I am very excited, I think of the equivalent exchange with a higher cultivation level, and there is no reciprocity and resources.
"Don't say you don't know me, and I don't know either, but someone does. Captain Pompeii and Magician Ryan are both from the royal capital, and they are both strong people of the same level, so they must know each other.
Captain Pompeii appreciates you so much, knowing that you want to improve your cultivation and ask him for help, he will agree.
As for the equivalent exchange, haven't you accumulated a lot of grinding crystals?The mages are very fond of magic crystals, although the Flame Ice Beast is an intermediate Demon Beast and is far more valuable than a primary Demon Beast.
However, if it's just the blood of an intermediate magic beast, it's still possible if you exchange it for a primary magic crystal. Witte beckoned.
"Okay, I'll go to Captain Pompeii to introduce me. He stood up and walked in the direction of the wall.
Seeing that Tianxing was in a hurry to find Captain Pompeii, Werther shook his head with relief and muttered to himself: What a cultivator, don't waste a moment.
Hurried to the command tower in the middle of the city wall, and was seen before he reached the captain of Pompeii.
"Tianxing, what's wrong with you, you're in a hurry. Are you looking for me?" asked Captain Pompeii first.
"Yes, Captain, I've got something to do with you, and I'd like to ask you for a favor. Tianxing, who walked closer, answered.
"Oh, you say I'll listen. Captain Pompeii was a little curious!
"That's it, I'm ......"
Tianxing explained the situation to Captain Pompeii in detail and succinctly.
"Well, that's good, that's a good thing, and your strength improvement will also be of great help to us in dealing with the beast tide. Magician Ryan is guarding the tower next to him, and I'll take you there. ”
Hearing this, the junior who admired it very much was fighting to improve his strength and help himself, and Pompey readily agreed.
The two of them came to the gate of the defense tower not far away.
"Ryan, is it convenient now? I'm looking for you for something. Pompeii said to the door.
"Well, Pompeii, come in!" a muffled voice came from inside the door. Pompeii pushed open the door and was the first to walk inside, and Tianxing was one step behind to follow.
The two of them went into the room.
The light in the room was dim, and the temperature was even lower than the cold winter outside!
Magician Ryan was sitting cross-legged on a stool facing the doorway, presumably meditating in front of him.
"Pompeii, say, what are you looking for me? Seeing that you came in slowly, it doesn't look like you need me to deal with the monsters. You brought a soldier here to help him, right?"
From these details, the Lyne Wizard actually guessed the matter to seven or eight points, it seems that the magician is not only powerful in magic!
"Hahaha, Ryan, you're still so observant. Yes, indeed, this is my nephew, and I came to you for him to do you a favor.
My nephew needs to use the blood of the Flame Ice Beast because of his cultivation needs, do you still have it here?" Pompey directly admitted.
"Oh! Cultivating with the blood of the Flame Ice Beast, does he know the destructive power of this Flame Ice Beast?
Don't talk about ordinary people, even if you and I don't use skills to defend, the blood of the Flame Ice Beast dripping on us also makes us feel painful. The kingdom sometimes uses the blood of the Flame Ice Beast to deal with some important prisoners.
Moreover, although the blood of the Flame Ice Beast was not valuable, it was not something that could be given to him casually. "Listening to the words of the Ryan Magician, there must be the blood of the Flame Ice Beast, and if you want it, you have to take out something in exchange.
"Then you can't ask for your things for nothing, ten magic crystals of primary demonic beasts to exchange, including three junior high-level magic crystals, five middle-level magic crystals, and two beginner-level magic crystals.
Pompey directly replied that only strong people of the same level can talk on an equal footing on this occasion.
"Oh, it's a little little, but since it's you Pompeii who speaks, let's have less and less!" Magician Ryan readily agreed to the exchange, and was very satisfied with the exchange.
The right hand came out of the wide robe, and in his hand there was an extra bottle the size of a head, and he threw it to Pompeii. Captain Pompeii easily took the large bottle with one hand and turned around to hand it over.
Then he spread his palm, and there were ten more magic crystals in his right hand, and threw it to Lane Magician. When the ten magic crystals were about to reach his eyes, they were blocked by a soft blue aura, and then slowly fell into his right hand in a row.
