Chapter 5
The two front paws of the giant scorpion dragon beast clasped the shoulders of the mechanism giant, and its long tail rolled up, tightly wrapping around the body of the mechanism giant, and the two Taoists exerted their strength again and again, but the mechanism giant fired crossbow arrows and carried the hammer's arms could not move.
The soldiers in the city were a little flustered. The six cultivators all looked calm. The four Daoists began to fold their hands crossed, making repetitive movements. The Trap Giant under the city moved its feet and began to vibrate back and forth, the huge force made the Scorpion Drake Beast feel in danger, it raised its head and hissed, and the remaining living Scorpion Drake Beast heard the order, dropped the Trap Giant, and began to rush towards the city wall.
The soldiers on the wall didn't pay attention at first, the high walls had always been an obstacle that these beasts could never break through, and it seemed to them that shooting the beasts from high above the walls was very easy for them.
To their surprise, the scorpion dragon beasts under the city were not stupidly circling around the city walls like the beasts in the past. When they arrived at the city wall, those scorpion dragon beasts raised their bodies one after another, and their limbs were all on the city wall, not knowing what ancient monsters were growing on their feet, they were able to climb straight up.
The soldiers began to panic, and some of the young men began to fire crossbow arrows at the scorpion drake on the city wall without hearing the order, except for a few crossbow arrows that narrowly hit the eyes of the manticore, the rest of the crossbow arrows bounced away. What's even more terrifying is that the scorpion dragon beasts that were shot in the eyes were all furious, and they rushed upwards even faster on the vertical city wall.
A trace of contempt flashed in his eyes for this group of ordinary soldiers, and the yellow-robed cultivator with the long sword on his back finally made a move, and he jumped onto the city with both feet, and the long sword flew out and turned into a red sword light, which swept over the city wall again and again as he walked. Everywhere they passed, these scorpion dragon beasts, which almost ignored the crossbow arrows in the city, broke their heads and fell down the city wall one after another.
The battle between the giant scorpion dragon beast and the mechanism giant under the city is still going on, and the arm of the mechanism giant has not been able to break free, and the scorpion dragon beast has no way to hurt this monster that has nowhere to mouth.
When the yellow-robed cultivator in the city walked to the second round, there was no living thing under the wall except for the giant scorpion dragon beast.
The four Daoists began to conjure the spell. The Trap Giant bent its knees and bounced upward, then lunged forward to crush the Manticoremon beneath it. Under this pressure, the tail of the scorpion drake wrapped around the mechanism giant finally loosened.
The Daoist who controlled the Mechanic Giant's left arm pulled his hands together, and the Mechanic Giant's left arm flexed, and a puff of crossbow arrows shot out at close range, all hitting the body of the Scorpion Dragonmon.
This scorpion dragon beast deserves to be called the demon king level, and the crossbow arrows that pierce the body of the same kind are only halfway into it and are powerless to go deep, but as the Taoist keeps moving, its body is covered with crossbow arrows that expose half of the tail of the arrow in the blink of an eye.
The giant scorpion dragon beast roared in pain. Then he tried desperately to break free and get up, but was knocked down again by the hammer raised by the right hand of the Mechanic Giant. Then, with the repeated attacks of the Mechanic Giant's left crossbow and right hammer, the voice in the mouth of the giant scorpion dragon beast fell silent. The body gradually did not move, and all the people in the city heard only the sound of crossbow arrows firing and the dull sound of the hammer smashing against the manticore.
Seeing that this was almost over, the soldiers of the city cheered. Many of them had never experienced such a thing since they were born, and they were thrilled to see the wonderful battle of being both a giant of the mechanism and a cultivator of the Edgeworth.
The four Daoists also stopped attacking, and the Imperial Envoy Giant staggered to his feet and slowly walked back. At this time, the scorpion dragon beast, which had been motionless for a long time behind the mechanism giant, suddenly jumped up, rushed past the mechanism giant covered in blood, flew up and sucked the city wall on all fours, and rushed up with blood step by step.
The cheers of the soldiers in the city turned into exclamations, if it wasn't for the fact that the Organ Giant had resisted this scorpion dragon beast, they really didn't know how to stop it.
The yellow-robed cultivator's flying sword came out again, stabbing the body of the scorpion dragon beast one after another, and even a few swords passed through it. When the giant scorpion dragon beast rushed to the city head some distance away, it used all its limbs to leap high over the city, and its huge mouth was open, and its tongue several feet long popped out of its mouth, shooting directly at the four Dao Masters who were about to re-embody the giants.
At this time, the tall and strong man who had been on guard all his hand struck out, and the wide blade knife in his hand flashed gold, condensing into a huge shield in front of him, and striking head-on on the long and soft tongue.
There was a "pop", and the air reverberated with a loud sound like a flat slap on the surface of the water. The giant scorpion drake finally lost its strength and fell heavily from mid-air.
Just when everyone thought it was really over, the dying-looking scorpion dragon jumped up again and quickly crawled along the base of the wall. In the blink of an eye, it went around the city and was out of sight.
"This guy is really tough. The big man with the knife shook off the slime sticking to the knife vigorously. Then the cultivators all set their eyes on the giant of the mechanism under the city.
The old man in the yellow robe said with great ambition. "When we go back, it will be able to earn us a lot of fairy crystals. ”
Zhang Zhao finally waited for Ding Dayou, a fellow in the pharmacy, but instead of going to Aoki City, Dayou asked him to accompany him to dig some medicinal herbs in the mountains.
Since he knew that the old butcher's illness could not be cured by ordinary medicines, Zhang Zhao had never been to the mountains again, and when the pharmacy needed some herbs, Ding Dayou, who was very timid, dragged Zhang Zhao to accompany him. He had also instructed Zhang Zhao on how to find herbs before, and of course Zhang Zhao couldn't refuse.
The two of them went all the way into the mountains and forests north of the town, talking and laughing while searching, and after a while, the medicine basket on their backs was almost full. At this time, the trees in front of us are dense, and the light is gradually becoming a little gloomy. The two of them discussed turning back.
At this time, Zhang Zhao seemed to hear a voice, and he listened carefully, and there was a sizzling panting sound from the depths of the woods in front of him. Zhang Zhao was curious and wanted to take a look. Ding Dayou was too frightened to move forward. Just tugged at his sleeve and told him to go quickly.
Zhang Zhao broke free of his hand and walked inside alone for a while, but he didn't see anything, and turned around to go back. The sound came from a pile of grass and fallen leaves beside him.
Zhang Zhao took a closer look and inadvertently met a pair of green eyes. It's just that those green eyes are about to lose their luster. It was the giant scorpion dragon beast that didn't know how far it had run before it fell to the ground.
The color of the scale armor on the scorpion dragon beast was similar to that of the pile of grass blades, Zhang Zhao only knew that it was not small, and the experience of watching countless livestock die every day told Zhang Zhao that this unknown beast was about to die.
Zhang Zhao was not afraid, but approached calmly, put his hand on the head of the scorpion dragon beast, and gently recited the requiem mantra. Wait until the luster in the green eyes of the scorpion dragon beast has disappeared, and there is no longer a trace of life, then he gets up.
As soon as Ding Dayou heard him talk about the situation, he didn't even dare to be curious, so he pulled him to turn his head and leave. The two of them had just walked out of the woods not far away, but they met their neighbor Yuan Carpenter in the town.
Yuan carpenter skills are good, Zhang Zhao'er often goes to play with those small wooden horses and wooden cows carved in his spare time, and after greeting him, he casually asked: "Uncle Yuan, come to find wood again?"
Yuan Bo had always been silent, just nodded and walked in the direction of the two of them just now. Zhang Zhao is also used to his cold temperament. After taking a few steps, he kindly turned around and shouted, "Uncle Yuan, there is a big beast that has died in the forest over there. Be careful, don't be scared. ”
Yuan Bo hummed angrily, walked a few steps and stopped thoughtfully, and when he wanted to ask carefully, Zhang Zhao and the two had already run away, so he sighed and walked in that direction.
After a few days of entering the mountain, Dayou finally brought good news, and he could leave for the Aoki Castle Market early the next morning.
Zhang Zhao said that he was going to sell medicine for money, but the old butcher looked at Donkey Bao but scoffed: "Can this thing be sold for thousands of taels?"
Fortunately, the old butcher has been cured and does not delay the business to the door, he doesn't say anything, and he also wants Zhang Zhao to go outside to open his eyes, and he really doesn't care about his illness.
So the old butcher began to teach Zhang Zhao some of the principles of being a man outside, he himself has been a butcher in the town all his life, and his knowledge is not very good, nothing more than not to talk too much, not to cause trouble, and repeatedly talked about these two sentences for a while, after there is really nothing to say, let Zhang Zhao rest early, and then comprehend the rest of the truth after going outside.
Before dawn the next day, Zhang Zhao waited in front of the pharmacy with the package on his back, squatted in front of the door and ate two steamed buns, only then did he see the carriage coming, and the shopkeeper Wang instructed him to take good care of the pharmacy, and then got into the carriage with Zhang Zhao.
Aoki City and this town are not too far apart, but a few hundred miles of road for Zhang Zhao, it is beyond imagination, the shopkeeper Wang closed his eyes in the car in a daze, Zhang Zhao from time to time lifted the curtain to look around, and then simply sat next to the coachman, asking east and west.
The coachman is also surnamed Wang, his eyes are always narrowed, the corners of his mouth are raised to look very happy, and he often patronizes Zhang Zhao's business in the town. He is a man of many words, and he is very eloquent when he explains the things and scenery around him to Zhang Zhao.
Zhang Zhao went out for the first time, and he was expected to sell the donkey treasure to his father's medical treatment, and he was in a good mood. I just felt that time flew by, and before it was nearly dusk, the carriage arrived in front of Aoki Castle.
Zhang Zhao jumped out of the carriage and looked up at the city wall that was dozens of feet long, and opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it. The shopkeeper Wang in the car looked at him and laughed: "Zhang Zhao, this city wall is not high, I was stupid when I came here for the first time." ”
"Mr. Wang, when you first came, there was such a high city wall at that time?"
"Of course, it's been almost 50 years, and every time I come here, I have the feeling of that time, I really don't know how this Aoki Castle was built back then. ”
