Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Great Mountains

Just when the "Torture Eye" mercenaries led by Xu Yong and the Qingfeng Wolf Demon Beast group led by Swift Wind Wolf were in the midst of a fierce battle, a pair of dark eyes with a slight vitreous luster silently appeared on an ancient tree in the distance.

A trap was observing the faintly evenly matched battle through the crevices of the hidden branches and leaves of the ancient trees.

Nine hundred miles away, in a secret courtyard in the resurrection retreat area of the Mercenary Association of Coca City, Scar's party watched the battle with relish around the light screen cast by the eyes of an old woman with a wrinkled face placed on the table, and discussed a few words in a low voice from time to time.

Traps belong to a large category among puppets, which can be divided into three categories according to their functions: reconnaissance, communication, and combat, with a total of 72 different traps.

When Scar and the others went to hunt for treasure with Ning Yuan, they notified the left-behind personnel to return to the city first to use the communication mechanism, which is characterized by being small, lightweight, fast, and the communication distance can reach up to 10,000 miles. The disadvantage is that the flight altitude is low and the information confidentiality is poor. If the trap is intercepted during the flight, the content of the communication will be known unobstructed, and the information content that can be stored by the trap is very limited, and it is very easy to overwrite. However, because it is relatively cheap and durable as long as nothing else, it is the most commonly used non-instant messenger among the natives of the continent of Nino.

The mechanism that observed the battle situation nine hundred miles away and the mechanism on the table that transmitted images were much more advanced. At least Scar and the others would definitely not be able to afford it if it weren't for the fact that the old woman in front of them was the maker of the trap.

This mechanism is called a shadow trap, but people prefer to call it a "voyeur trap". These traps are basically sold in pairs, one for real-time observation and one for real-time video. The price is usually more than 500 blue coins.

The hard currency of the Neno continent is undoubtedly the same source stone as the stars. However, the Source Stone is mainly used for trading and exchanging in the cultivation world. The city-states generally used source coins, which were metal coins mixed with source stone fragments, both between and within the city-states.

There are three types of source coins, white, blue, and purple. The exchange ratio is one to hundred, that is, one hundred white coins are exchanged for one blue coin, and one hundred blue coins are exchanged for one purple coin. It's worth a hundred white coins, which is one blue coin, which can provide a month's living expenses for a mortal family of four. Five hundred blue coins, even if it is a city-state mercenary like Scar, almost has to complete nearly a hundred ordinary tasks to earn it, and there are no accidents, and the time is at least half a year.

Due to the old woman's exquisite skills, the images transmitted by the Shadow Transmission are much clearer than those on the market, so although they are a little far away in order to conceal them, the battle between Xu Yong and the Swift Wind Wolf is still clearly displayed in front of everyone's eyes.

After Xu Yong greeted the Swift Wind Wolf, he first used the invisible sound wave of the "Evil Sound" to cancel out the Wind Wolf's wind blade, and then smashed the mace in his hand into the Swift Wind Wolf's wolf head.

The swift wind wolf that jumped in flicked its head to avoid the blow of Xu Yong's mace, and after landing, it sent out a wind blade to shoot at Xu Yong's throat at close range, and its sharp claws attacked at the critical position of Xu Yong's waist and legs at the same time.

Xu Yong narrowly avoided the wind blade, and at the same time wielded the mace to block the surprise attack of the Swift Wind Wolf, and after several attacks and defenses, he took advantage of the opportunity of the Swift Wind Wolf to regroup and opened his mouth to emit an invisible sound wave.

Although the Swift Wind Wolf is unable to see the presence of sound waves, it is able to clearly perceive an unknown attack. The same dodge dodged the attack, and put on a defensive posture and let out a threatening wolf howl at Xu Yong.

Xu Yong's eyes were slightly cold, and he sneered: "Do you really think that Lao Tzu can't do anything about you?" ”

After speaking, he took a deep breath, his throat bulged slightly, and before the Swift Wind Wolf could dodge when he saw this, a fan-shaped invisible sound wave accompanied by air ripples attacked the Swift Wind Wolf and several green wind wolves hovering behind.

Although the Swift Wind Wolf dodged, he was still hit by this area-of-effect attack. The moment he was hit by the "Sound of Evil", the body of the Swift Wind Wolf in the air suddenly stiffened, and then let out a terrible "whoop" sound, and fell straight to the ground, making a muffled sound.

Several ordinary Qingfeng wolves wandering a few zhang away in the rear also stiffened in unison, wolf ears, wolf mouth, wolf eyes, wolf nose and seven orifices were bleeding together, and then their bodies fell straight down, and they were killed instantly by Xu Yong's sound waves.

The corners of Xu Yong's mouth showed a cruel smile, and he stepped forward with a mace to kill this demon beast.

I didn't want to take two steps forward, and the Swift Wind Wolf who fell to the ground quickly jumped up from the ground, and without waiting for Xu Yong to attack, he clamped his tail and let out a low and distant "whin" sound in his mouth, and his steps staggered, and his body ran directly behind the wolves in embarrassment.

Hearing the unusual wolf howl of the head wolf, all the Qingfeng wolves in the battle began to give up their opponents without any hesitation, and after retreating a few steps guardedly, they turned around and chased after the head wolf. The wolves actually retreated directly under the call of the head wolf.

Xu Yong didn't expect that this Swift Wind Wolf would be able to stand up after winning his trick, let alone that the Swift Wind Wolf, who was a demon beast, would not come forward to fight but retreat so decisively and directly.

Xu Yong, who made some mistakes, completely lost the opportunity to pursue in just a short time.

But it's nothing. Even if he reacted in time, Xu Yong would not choose to pursue, after all, his primary purpose was not to hunt demon beasts.

Scar and the others, who were far away in Coca City, saw that Xu Yong had not wasted much effort and directly repelled the Swift Wind Wolf, and their expressions were a little heavy.

Scar sighed in a low voice, "The bald head Xu's strength is even stronger. ”

Li Xi lowered his eyebrows and said solemnly: "General, is the bald Xu the last one to look for?" ”

Scar looked at Li Xi's somewhat blue face, and said with a heavy expression: "That's right." It's the sneak attack that killed Holly's 'Shocking Evil'. However, at the beginning, there was only an 'evil' spiritual attack, and there was no effect of bleeding and directly dying like those Qingfeng wolves. If you guessed correctly, it was directly shattered in the heart and internal organs. ”

"'Earthquake'?!" Li Xi muttered, "It's even more perfect than three years ago." ”

"yes." Scar sighed and said a little gloomily, "Everyone else is constantly improving, only we are still paying for the suffering of the past, even if we put in more effort." ”

"Being able to regain the power of a cultivator, what are you Tan Xiong not satisfied with?" Hearing Scar's somewhat frustrated words, the old woman raised her eyes and glanced at Scar, and said angrily.

Scar, or Tan Xiong was stunned, looked at the old woman and said solemnly: "What Sister-in-law Xuan said is true." ”

Although the battle in the Dragon Head Mountain Range was won by the "Torture Eye" mercenaries led by Xu Yong, in fact, Xu Yong and the "Night Stalker" team had achieved some results in high-end combat power. Xu Yong repelled the head wolf and killed nearly ten ordinary Qingfeng wolves, the "Night Stalker" team not only stopped all the elite wolves, but also firmly contained the following guard wolves, and the captain Night Stalker killed a guard wolf that was about to break through and injured two elite wolves at the same time.

However, the battle between ordinary mercenaries and ordinary Qingfeng Wolves can be said to be a complete victory for Qingfeng Wolves. Although the mercenaries stabilized their positions under the command of Xu Yong and carried out some simple offensive and defensive coordination, they were still beaten up by the hunting Qingfeng wolf, and the casualty ratio reached almost two to one. Mercenary two, Qingfeng wolf one.

After the battle, the result of the statistics was that there was one demon beast group death guard wolf, and fifteen ordinary Qingfeng wolves, ten of which were killed by Xu Yong's sound wave, which means that the results of ordinary mercenary members were only five ordinary Qingfeng wolves. The price paid by the "Torture Eye" mercenaries was nine dead, one near-dead, five seriously injured, and twenty-one lightly injured.

The manpower brought by Xu Yong was almost lost in a short period of time.

Just when Xu Yong was angry after listening to the results of the statistics, even worse news came through Xinying.

The message was sent by a scout who had gone to investigate in the cracks, but the medium of communication was the Hawk and the direction of the arrival was Coca City. In other words, all four scouts died.

Xu Yong opened the information, read it with a cold face, and then commanded the night owl with a blue face: "Notify it, everyone will enter the cave." ”

The night owl looked at Xu Yong.

Xu Yong handed the information to the other party and said, "All four scouts were killed. Two fell into a natural pit on the fork in the road, and two died inexplicably when approaching the exit of the passage, and it is speculated that it is also a trap or something. ”

The Night Stalker nodded, and turned to organize the staff.

Xu Yong stared at the dark mountain crevice, and his originally stable state of mind unconsciously cast a shadow. This operation is really a bit unfavorable.

At the same time that Xu Yong and the others organized people to enter the cave, Ning Yuan, who was in the secret realm earth puppet labyrinth, was kneeling cross-legged in the corner of the hall five zhang away from the earth puppet gatekeeper.

For two whole hours, Ning Yuan sat there motionless. In his mind, he kept repeating the shot of "Dashanshi", and at the same time, "Yanyan" tried to analyze and deduce everything about this shot. Gradually, Ning Yuan seemed to have some clues.

After deducing it over and over again in his mind, Ning Yuan got up and started the drill with his gun. However, the actions that feel okay in the deduction are always plausible in the actual exercise. It's not that the movements are inadequate or anything, it's just that I always feel like something is missing.

Ning Yuan stopped with some distress after trying again and again without success. He frowned and said to himself, "What is missing in the mountains?" ”

Suddenly, Ning Yuan was stunned, he seemed to have caught something at that moment just now? But what is it exactly?

"Big mountain?"

"Big mountain?"

"Great mountain!"

Ning Yuan muttered, his eyes began to shine, "Why is that shot called 'Great Mountain'?" It turns out that all the mysteries are here. ”

Ning Yuan grabbed the spear with some excitement, put on a "big mountain" start, closed his eyes, and after about half an hour, his eyes opened calmly, and the spear slowly stabbed forward.

The spear's movements seemed to be slow, giving it a mountain-like aura, but the ripples in the air around the spear showed that the spear was actually fast. In this sense of confusion, the spear stabbed to the end, and then Ning Yuan saw a circle of white air ripples at the head of the spear.

He knew that he had finally succeeded.

I have to say, it's all thanks to the help of the system. It was precisely because of the name of the move given by the system that Ning Yuan was able to grasp that fleeting aura and completely comprehend it.

The move of "Great Mountain Potential" is not a technical move that Ning Yuan originally understood, but an artistic conception move.

What is an artistic mood? The meaning of the mind is not the form, and the meaning of the visualization is the essence of the move.
