Chapter 15: The Behemoth Strikes
Zhang Yi put a volume of ancient books back into the distance, stood up and bothered himself, turned his head to look at Feng Chonglou and the others, and couldn't help but be stunned. In addition to him, the other four were still immersed in books...... Even Qiu Lin, who had only refined his flesh and blood, had a smile on his face, as if he had realized the mystery in the ancient books.
"Not true. Zhang Yi shook his head, although he couldn't sense the time according to the sun in the ancestral land, he could be sure that he had been studying for at least three hours today.
Presumably, it was the Sharo Iron Tree in his previous life that made him particularly sensitive to the hour and direction. Yesterday, after walking in the stone cave road for three or four hours, the rest of the people couldn't remember the time at all, and couldn't tell the difference between east and west, north and south, and only he could sense that the six people went all the way down and entered the center of the mountain.
Zhang Yi is a good reader, and he is very confident in his love for books, even if he insists on reading for three hours, it is a rare thing, but how can the other four people persist for so long?
"Huh?" Zhang Yi's divine sense probed around, he had not yet advanced to the rank of Gongshi and could not practice jade consciousness, but the heavenly lifting people greatly enhanced his divine sense, making him far superior to all the lifting people.
Soon, Zhang Yi found that the aura in the entire glazed palace was a little strange. This kind of aura is different from the literary aura, and when it enters his body, it is like a psychedelic drug, which makes people tirelessly immersed in it, and Zhang Yi almost immersed himself in it again. He quickly shook his head, forcing himself to wake up from this aura.
"Wake up!"
Zhang Yi ran his tone and drank it, and immediately woke Feng Chonglou and Qiao Juzheng from their addiction, and raised their heads in astonishment. Li Jue Ling shook his head and slowly woke up. Only Qiu Lin was still immersed in it with a smile on his face, which was too weird in the eyes of Zhang Yi and the others.
Zhang Yi's eyebrows were solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Use the literary qi to wrap yourself, don't absorb the air in this hall." ”
With that, he stretched out his hand to exude a literary aura to wrap Qiu Lin's body, isolating the strange aura. Qiu Lin slowly woke up, his eyes were confused, as if he had lost his soul.
Several people are lifters, and their comprehension ability is naturally not bad, and they instantly understand that there are ghosts in the aura in the palace. Feng Chonglou couldn't help but ask, "Ah Yi, what's going on with the aura in this palace?"
"It's a bit like a worker's aura, but it's a little different. Practitioners, who are very different from scholars and other cultivators, are almost in no battle before they become Emperor Gong, but as long as they achieve Great Confucianism, they can drive thousands of Organ-Beasts to fight, and the overwhelming Machine-Beasts can almost crush most of the Hundred School of Cultivators, even the Martial Emperor who has become an Emperor in the flesh is difficult to contend with. This kind of ability can't even be done by a farmer who cultivates directly with the help of heaven and earth aura. ”
"And the reason why Gongjia practitioners practice so consistently and effectively is because they absorb spiritual energy and turn it into gongqi. Gongqi allows the Engineer Cultivator to have sufficient physical strength when fighting or crafting Divine Weapons and Puppet Trap Beasts. The strange aura in this hall can make us feel the slightest hunger for three or four hours, which is similar to the work qi. But this strange aura can confuse people and immerse them in what they are doing, but it is not the same as workmanship. ”
Zhang Yizheng explained that in order to prevent the four of them from doubting why he knew about the Gongjia cultivators, he added: "These are all the words of the Gongjia in Zhangfu, and I don't know if they are true or false." ”
"Nature is true. Qiao Juzheng snorted, "A hundred schools of thought contend, and each family has a desirable way to cultivate." Workers and peasants have always been good friends with us scholars, but there is absolutely no such way as to harm people. ”
Feng Chonglou nodded in agreement and said, "Feng Mansion also has a senior worker, although it is not as powerful as the original Zhang Mansion, the way of cultivation should be almost the same. The method of craftsmanship is upright, and it takes countless studies and manufacturing to make progress. Brother, what do you say?"
Among the five people present, Liling was the one who knew the Gong family the best. The Zhongli clan was the most outstanding sage of the ancient family, and was as famous as the Gongyi clan and the senior brother Zhang of the Holy Academy.
Even if today's descendants of the Lijia clan have lost the orthodox Gongjia practice method and turned to become scholars, their understanding of the essence of Gongjia is no worse than that of some Gongjia practitioners.
Lijue Ling nodded again and again: "The ancestral land of the Li clan has been seized by the Wufu for thousands of years, and it is unknown whether they have found a secret treasure from it." But according to my father, there are no ghosts and evil things in the ancestral land except for the many mechanisms. I have never heard of this strange aura. ”
When the four of them were talking, Qiu Lin's eyes slowly became clearer, and he slowly raised his arm to point out the window, and said anxiously and slowly: "Ghost...... Elf...... Evil...... ...... object"
"Hmm, what?" Feng Chonglou was sitting in the same direction as Qiu Lin, and he looked up curiously and looked in the direction Qiu Lin's arm pointed, his pupils quickly widened, and sweat suddenly flowed down his forehead.
Zhang Yi and the three of them hurriedly turned around, only to see five giant water monsters rushing towards the glazed palace from not far away, these water monsters were three zhang long and one zhang high, especially their heads occupied one-third of their bodies, and they could swallow ten human races.
Dragons?
Zhang Yi looked at the five-headed water monster in surprise and immediately recognized them.
The dragon, also known as the pig dragon, is the descendant of the dragon clan and the turtle giant tortoise, and it was a famous murderous creature in ancient times, how could it appear in the ancestral land of the Liclan?!
Just as Zhang Yi was thinking, Feng Chonglou turned his head, looked at the other side of the palace, and couldn't help but say, "What is this?"
When Zhang Yi heard this, he turned around and saw dozens of silver giant wolves roaring over the hill and rushing towards the first palace where he and the others were.
Zhang Yi also recognized these silver wolves, they had bone spurs on their backs and were one foot long. Like those pig dragons, they are all descendants of the dragon clan and the Howling Moon Wolf, dragon wolf!
The first of the three treasures left by the longbow Daru to Zhang Yi was the dragon wolf pen.
Qiao Ju Zhengfeng Chonglou didn't recognize these monsters, and his face was blank. Liling and Qiu Lin were sweating even more, obviously frightened by these huge monsters.
"Hurry up, before they arrive here, let's enter the second palace!" Seeing that the four of them were still stunned, Zhang Yi shouted loudly. "There are quite a few large machines out there, and we can rely on them to defend ourselves against these monsters. ”
The four of them woke up and followed Zhang Yi towards the second palace. There are gates in the walls of the four palaces that are connected to each other, and after Zhang Yi and the four of them entered the second palace, they closed the doors tightly and climbed on several large instruments.
"Brother Li, will you operate this kind of crossbow divine soldier?" Zhang Yi glanced at the equipment in the palace, most of them were good things used to build palace facilities, and very few of them could fight.
The Repeater was originally a tool of war made by the Engineer, and when they were placed on a city wall or mound, they could release sixty crossbow arrows at the same time.
The kind of crossbow divine weapon used in war requires at least ten people to operate, and a one-zhang long crossbow arrow can pierce through the thick body of the demon, even a strong martial arts cultivator would not dare to test the law easily.
Not only because the demon barbarians were expelled from the edge of the continent, but also because of the loss of the skill of craftsmen to make equipment, even the crossbow gods in this room are simplified versions. It can be easily operated by a single lifter, and the lethality of the crossbow is reduced accordingly, and only one crossbow arrow can be fired at a time.
In addition to the ten simple repeater crossbow soldiers, Zhang Yi also had an artillery carriage and a rapid shooting divine soldier by his side.
The gun carriage took up a tenth of the palace and was huge. According to ancient records, this kind of thing has a strong lethality on the battlefield.
The gun carriage used a black stone the size of a millstone as the cannon stone. Once the black stone is hit, it is extremely easy to explode, and after the gun carriage fires, a single black stone can destroy everything within a radius of ten zhang.
The Rapid Archery Divine Soldier is also a large transmitter placed on the city wall, six feet long, which can be operated by one person, and unlike the Repeater Divine Soldier, the Rapid Divine Soldier is more flexible, and can fire thousands of small Hidden Arrows while rotating, which is very lethal to small demon barbarians.
"Of course. Li Jue Ling had already reacted at this moment, nodded in response, he was already standing behind a repeating crossbow divine soldier, and aimed it at the palace gate.
Zhang Yi nodded slightly, and said to the three of Feng Chonglou: "The operation of the crossbow divine weapon is simple, you only need to aim at the giant beast and launch it." As for this gun carriage, it is a little difficult to operate, but fortunately, I have learned from the craftsmen, so I will operate it. ”
"Fortunately, there are dozens of crossbow arrows in each crossbow master, and you can easily pierce through these giant beasts as long as you aim at them. Zhang Yi looked at the artillery cart and the crossbow divine soldier, and nodded slightly, if there were no crossbow arrows and black stones, even if he could operate these instruments, it would be a dead end.
At this point of life and death, the three of Feng Chonglou naturally had no nonsense, and stood behind a repeating crossbow divine soldier one after another, learning to leave the Lingling look, facing their backs in pairs, guarding against the giant beasts on both sides.
Even Qiu Lin, who had been trembling, stretched out his hands to hold the handle of the crossbow divine soldier tightly at this moment, gritting his teeth and looking at the giant dragon wolf in front of him.
Zhang Yi climbed into the gun carriage and sat in it. The operation of the artillery carriage is different from that of the repeating crossbow soldiers, and the lethality is dozens of times that of the repeating crossbow soldiers, but the firing speed is much slower.
It only takes one breath for a repeater to fire a crossbow arrow, while it takes at least ten breaths for a gun carriage to fire a black stone. Moreover, the gun carriage requires the operator to measure the position of the opponent, which is quite difficult to hit
......
As the five of them prepared to fight, dozens of giant beasts crushed them like a hill. They bypassed the first palace and the third and fourth palaces, and pounced directly from both sides of the second palace.
"Hit!"
Zhang Yi gave an order, and the crossbow divine soldiers in the hands of the four people began to fire crossbow arrows with a length of one zhang.
"Bang!"
The moment the pig dragon and the dragon wolf smashed through the walls of the palace and shattered, dozens of crossbow arrows roared into their bodies...... Bloom with brilliant blood flowers.
Zhang Yiwen was full of anger, and with one foot on the gun carriage, a black stone the size of a millstone smashed into the dragon wolf pack, making a deafening roar.
PS: Happiness is sad, the computer is broken...... Sure enough, it is the same as what was written in the article: "Misfortune and blessing are coming, and blessing and misfortune are depending"! The manuscript is gone, and I rushed to the Internet café at eight o'clock to code words, and now I have only one chapter, so let's send it first! Everyone support me who is struggling and let me save money to change my computer, otherwise I will have to fight in the Internet café continuously! (To be continued.) )
