Chapter 530: No Progress
The search was not in vain, but in complete stagnation. This is definitely a great shame for the ten major sects. Because, this is equivalent to using the power of the entire Eastern Martial Arts, but in the end, even two Western magicians were not caught!
The heads of the ten major sects were all extremely angry. Even the elders who decided to stop the futile excavation work were implicated and were directly scolded for being scolded.
"Stupid pig, if you can't dig forward, can't you dig down, up, left or right?"
Such a reprimand, the elders also had a lot of resentment in their hearts: "Damn, you are talking lightly, so many passages, how much manpower does it take to dig like this? Even if they really dug up, after such a delay, the two Western magicians would have already run away without a trace." What's the point of such hard work?"
However, the majesty of the head of the sect is not something that these elders can offend, so the elders dare to be angry but dare not speak. Besides, the boss's shouting for them was also conveyed in the form of secret letters, which could be regarded as fully taking care of their faces, so what else could the elders do?
Fortunately, the heads of the various factions also realized the enormity of the excavation project, so they urgently transferred all the disciples within a radius of a hundred miles around the town.
In fact, the decision of the heads of various factions is also a helpless move. Because, the current ten major sects are already difficult to ride a tiger. Whether or not the Western armies invade, they must capture or kill the two Western magicians. Otherwise, from now on, the dominance of the ten major sects in the Eastern Earth Continent will inevitably be challenged by various forces.
Although it was time-consuming and labor-intensive to dig in many directions, fortunately, this time, they were on the right track. After a long time, I finally found a new tunnel.
The disciples of the Ten Great Sects, who had gained experience, soon came to the end of many passages, so the arduous and huge excavation work began again. And, as the passage gets longer, so does the workload.
The excavation work made no progress, and time was rushed, and more than ten days passed in a flash. Looking at the situation, the hope of finding the traces of Western magicians is very slim.
In desperation, the heads of the ten major sects invariably summoned the elders of their sects to deeply analyze the information they currently had.
From the information obtained from the mouths of the Nangong family before, many people were very suspicious that those two Western magicians were likely to have a protective body. This is actually very shocking news. Because, if Western magicians really have the ability to protect the body, it means that Eastern martial arts have been fully spread in the West. In this way, once the East and the West are at war, in the face of the Western cultivation army that has learned from the East and the West, the Eastern martial arts people will inevitably fall into an extremely unfavorable situation of being passively beaten. The already mysterious and unpredictable Western magic is supplemented by Eastern martial arts...... Even these heads and elders feel terrible when they think about it, let alone those young disciples under the sect.
However, the temptation of the Tang Sect disciples has relieved the worries of the high-level leaders of the ten major sects to a certain extent.
At the beginning, the reason why the disciples of the Tang Sect became the first batch of tentative attacks was also caused by a variety of factors. First of all, the disciples of the Tang Sect took the initiative to ask for help, because the disciples of the Tang Sect were very confident in their own secret weapons and poisonous methods. Secondly, each faction is also in order to minimize casualties, and the disciples of the Tang Sect are good at sneak attacks, and they are "long-range" sneak attacks, so even if they can't win, they can withdraw in time, so as to effectively avoid major casualties. Again, in the minds of the elite disciples of the various sects, even if the Tang sect disciples are unsuccessful, their toxins can play a certain role to some extent, so that the counterattack power and escape speed of Western magicians will be somewhat affected. In the end, in their opinion, in the face of the attack of the Tang Sect's disciples feeding poison hidden weapons, the Western magicians would definitely rush out of the inn at the first time to protect themselves, so that the ambush circles set up around the inn could play a role one by one. They believed that under the next wave of siege, the Western magicians would be doomed.
It's a pity that the reaction of the Western magicians was completely unexpected by the young disciples of the ten major sects. Therefore, none of the follow-up attacks of the young disciples of the ten major sects could be brought into play. However, their arrangements are not without effect.
"According to the report of the disciples of the Tang Sect, under the attack of the Rainstorm Pear Flower Needle, the Western magician did not use the 'Body Protective Qi' that we had suspected before. ”
"Does this mean that Western magicians don't have the 'body protection qi'?"
"Let me ask you, if you have cultivated the 'Body Protective Qi', how will you react in the face of such an all-round dense attack?"
"Of course, with the help of the 'Body Protective Qi', I quickly rushed out of the opponent's attack range. However, that's because I have to do it because I have the best way to deal with it. ”
"Your consciousness is saying that the Western magician's method of escaping underground is better than using the 'Body Protective Qi'?"
"Isn't it?"
"Don't forget, Western magicians didn't know that there were many ambushes outside the inn. Therefore, their judgment should be that as long as they rush out, they can completely get out of danger. So why would they go so far as to burrow into the ground?"
"Who says they're willing to do it, and how can you know the magic of Zephyr? Perhaps, for them, it's as easy to walk underground as it is to walk on the ground?"
"It's unlikely. If it was really that easy, then they wouldn't have flown into the air when they were attacked by the disciples of the Loose Sect before. ”
"In addition, there is a high chance that they will be shot by a poisonous needle as they sink into the ground. ”
"Not bad. If Western magicians really have the ability to protect their bodies, then even if they originally planned to escape underground, there is no need to take the huge risk of being shot by a poisonous needle, right?"
"Hmph, Western magicians don't necessarily know that needles are poisonous. Besides, maybe they already have the certainty of being in stride?"
"No, Western magicians already knew that soy milk was poisonous before. Therefore, next, even if the rainstorm pear flower needle is not poisonous, then they don't dare to try it. According to the Tang Sect disciples, the Western magician suddenly disappeared at the moment when the Pear Flower Needle was about to be killed in the rainstorm. In such an urgent situation, who would be too stupid not to use it if they have the 'body protection qi'?"
"Hmph, if there is no body protection qi, then the Western magician will definitely sink into the ground the moment the rainstorm pear flower needle is launched. But why did they wait until the moment when they were about to be shot? If they didn't have a certain amount of reliance, then even if they killed me, I wouldn't believe it. ”
