Chapter 5: Planting Scales
The small swamp beasts that rushed to the front turned into blood mist and dissipated the moment they came into contact with the space storm, and the subsequent small beasts wanted to stop, but they were led by the powerful space devouring force and rushed to death at a faster speed, and more small swamp monsters were trampled into flesh by the huge swamp crocodiles and rotting corpses behind.
The Water Mirror Mermaid has rushed into the swamp and disappeared into the mist, and the huge space storm launched by Xing Yi has also begun to become uncertain, the energy left by the Xuan Ming True Water is about to be exhausted, and the space storm will also disappear in that moment, in order to buy more time for the Water Mirror Mermaid, Xing Yi ignored the space energy and jumped into the beast tide with a thousand miles of space storm.
The space crack directly dissolves the body of the swamp monster, the small crack is like a sharp blade that is extinguished, and the stumps are all over the field, and the beast tide that spreads for several miles is like encountering a hard reef, crushing the waves, cutting out a huge opening, the tragic slaughter finally deterred the beast tide, the moment the space storm disappeared, Xingyi, who was so small compared to the swamp beast, stood like a giant in the flesh and blood of the wilderness, and the backlash of space energy made Xingyi's body continue to distort, and in the long roar, Xingyi's body emitted a silver light, A wave of earth-destroying energy exploded, creating a vacuum for miles, and the scattered swamp sludge shot into the air as if it had lost gravity, and then twisted into undetectable particles.
Xingyi's self-explosion hit the beast tide again, and this time the heavy blow made tens of thousands of swamp monsters have no bones, the air is filled with heavy blood, a water blue light point is suspended in the blood, fluttering towards the periphery of the swamp, the water mirror mermaid is hidden in the deeper part of the safe swamp, the swamp beasts that appear sporadically are no longer a threat to her, perceiving the soul imprint in the sea of knowledge, faint but not broken, she knows that Xingyi's soul is still alive.
The thousand souls who escaped from the misty swamp coughed up blood, and there was a sharp blade on his left chest, and this sharp blade represented a person, only he was qualified to wear the Dark Moon Blade, and the owner of the blade was Xing Yi, the sect leader of the Reverse Scale Sect.
The seriously injured thousand souls returned to the Medicine Sect, and a few days later, a news that shocked the cultivation world spread, the Medicine Sect found the traces of the Xuanming True Water, and united with the Reverse Scale Sect to sneak into the misty swamp, and the sect leader of the Reverse Scale Sect, Xing Yi, did not hesitate to seriously injure the thousand souls in order to obtain the Xuanming True Water, and both were injured, Xing Yi fell into the Misty Swamp, this was originally a unilateral news, but the dark moon blade on the chest of the thousand souls made the Xiuzhen world have to believe that Xing Yi saw the profit and forgot the righteousness, and the cultivators were even more excited under the exhalation of the arms of the Martial King Sect, and a few months later, under the leadership of the Medicine Sect, the Martial King Sect echoed, Under the joint discussion of all the scattered cultivators, it was decided to eliminate the harm for the cultivation realm, attack the reverse scale, and wipe out the assassination sect reverse scale that had been talked about in the past, and at this time, Xing Yi relied on the residual energy of the Xuanming True Water to barely maintain the soul, and had already arrived at the Yundang Cliff early, and all he could do was to inform the two disciples of the two disciples of the things born in the swamp with a faint soul fluctuation, and repeatedly instructed not to leave any clues, the traces of the Xuanming True Water can only be passed on by word of mouth unless one day the Reverse Scale Sect can rival the Medicine Sect. He floated into the secret room of the Yundang Cliff and waited for it to dissipate.
The next three years are the most painful and the most declining three years since the establishment of the Reverse Scale Sect, the Yundang Cliff located in the Northeast Pole is more than 7,000 meters high, the snow line of more than two thousand meters does not melt all year round, and the ice surface frozen for countless years is extremely smooth and solid as iron, ordinary Heavenly Elective cultivators can only leave a little mark on it, and there is only one ice and snow ladder that only allows two people to stand side by side to build the Reverse Scale Sect, if it were not for such an easy to defend and difficult to attack natural Jedi, the two major sects combined with countless scattered cultivation, I'm afraid that the Reverse Scale Sect has already been wiped out.
In the first year of the attack on the Reverse Scale Sect, the scattered cultivators promised in the Medicine Sect that the first sect or individual to step into the Reverse Scale Hall could be eager to try it under the tempting conditions of unconditional equal sharing after the Medicine Sect found the Xuanming True Water, and the incomparably bland thousands of meters of ice and snow made the swarming scattered cultivators suffer heavy losses, and the ancient assassination faction of the Reverse Scale Sect finally showed the light of killing in the dark. In order to rush to the top of the cliff as soon as possible, many people chose to rush into the ice and snow beyond the three-thousand-meter snow line, and the disciples of the Reverse Scale Sect who were hiding under the ice and snow had already been dormant in the snow cave for more than a few days. The caves under the ice and snow are staggered, and the sound he made on the snow gave the disciples of the Reverse Scale Sect the most accurate attack target and travel route, the dagger quickly poked out of the ground, and with the blood splashing, countless scattered cultivators lost their balance because the soles of their feet were pierced, and the moment their bodies were tilted, they were pierced through the chest by another dagger, and the follow-up cultivators wanted to find the target but found that in the white snow, except for the bright red blood and corpses everywhere, there was no trace of the disciples of the Reverse Scale Sect, that is, the snow under the corpse where the dagger poked out was already as flat as ever.
The situation of casual cultivation is even worse, the violent wind and snow make the visibility only three zhang square, and the disciples of the Reverse Scale Sect who have lived and cultivated in it for a long time have amazing judgment on the direction of the wind and wind resistance, and the secret sound crossbow of long-range assassination is simply a nightmare for ordinary cultivators, with an effective range of fifty zhang, you can ignore the defense of cultivators in the late stage of Heavenly Selection, even if you are a cultivator in the Harmony Period who is defenseless, you don't dare to guarantee that you will be unscathed, and the wind and snow blow to the scattered cultivator There is a short pause and direction, It is these subtle changes that make the hazy-eyed loose cultivators the most obvious target in the wind and snow, the sound of the wind and the screams of their companions make the originally inaudible sound of the dense sound of the crossbow breaking through the air almost disappear, when the crossbow arrows flash cold light and quickly poke out from the wind and moon, the scattered cultivators have long lost the room to dodge, and more importantly, the stairs side by side of the two and the panicked congestion behind them make them even have a chance to turn around has become a luxury. The corpse in the snow made the scattered cultivators begin to chill, although some of the cultivators in the mellow period barely dodged the sharp blades that poked out under their feet with their cultivation, but it did not mean that there were only sharp blades in the wind and snow, when the dense sound crossbow that came from the chest immediately made them pay the price for their boldness, although there were also disciples of the Reverse Scale Sect who were restrained from escaping under the snow, and were pierced by countless blades and air blades, and only the blood of the snow-white power suit left in their eyes was all over the place, but the bee blade carried by the disciples of the Reverse Scale Sect made the scattered cultivators who were encircled and suppressed killed and injured countless times, it was a tiny blade that was compressed in the sphere, because of the number of bee blades, the strength of the flying shot, and the strength of the machine, the disciples of the Reverse Scale Sect who released the bee blades did not have time to dodge and throw, and the design of the bee blades originally did not leave any room for the releaser to survive, and both sides were injured and the corpses were destroyed. The corpses on the ice and snow stairs blocked the way, and the scattered cultivators who carried the corpses fell countless more when they approached the corpses, and then the scattered cultivators had to throw torches at the corpses in the distance with red eyes, clearing the way in this almost dehumanizing way, thick smoke, the scorching smell of corpses, blood, and wailing. With such a devastating condition in exchange, stopping and stopping, the thousand-meter snow line actually attacked for a year without progress, just throwing more corpses, the scattered cultivators had to retreat and wander outside the thousand-meter snow line, the Medicine Sect and the Martial King Sect proposed to fight a protracted war, using the method of encirclement to exhaust the supplies of the Reverse Scale Sect, and strive to surrender without a fight, and some of the scattered cultivators who killed the red eyes lost their friends, and some lost their relatives and friends, but under the pressure of the two major sects, they had to compromise with hatred.
Before the self-explosion, Xing Yi was in the middle of the soul leaving period, and the same was true for the thousand souls, as for the Honglang of the Wuwang Sect, it was only the late stage of crystallization, the three major sects, countless heaven and earth treasures, and the cultivation holy land was just like this, and the cultivation of the scattered cultivators in the Illusory Sea period was nothing more than a straggler for the Medicine Sect, and the purpose of encouraging them was to consume the vital power of the Reverse Scale Sect, and in one year, the Medicine Sect symbolically participated in the war twice, and the low-level disciples of the Medicine Sect sent did not carry out an effective fight except for the release of the healing spell from afar, And the heavy armor of the Martial King Sect made it difficult for them to walk an inch in the snow, and the ice and snow ladder was blocked, so there was enough reason not to fight.
After resisting for a year, the Reverse Scale Sect on the Yundang Cliff finally ushered in a short rest, as an assassination sect will sooner or later be retaliated by unknown forces, Xing Yi began to store food as early as the early days of creation, for the defense of the Yundang Cliff, Xing Yi is quite sure, but without supplies, sooner or later it will fend for itself, so the food hoarded by the Reverse Scale Sect is enough for the sect to eat for a hundred years, but at this time, the big disciple of the sect, Qingyi, is worried.
The hoarded food can ensure that the Reverse Scale Sect has enough food supplies, but in the face of the siege of the two major sects and countless scattered cultivators, simple defense is not the way to go, and the manufacturing methods of the Miyin Crossbow and Bee Blade have a map to refer to, and the production materials of the blades and crossbow arrows inside have always been in the hands of the Sect Master of the Reverse Scale Sect, and now Xing Yi is closed in the secret room, and if he wants to have enough weapons, he has to risk letting the sect master's soul fly away and open the door of the secret room, and this decision can only be pressed on the eldest disciple Qingyi.
It's not that the Reverse Scale Sect didn't think about picking up the crossbow arrows, they even took advantage of the night to sneak attack the besieged cultivators, frontal fighting is not the strength of the Reverse Scale Sect, after several sneak attacks in a row, leaving more than a hundred disciples of the Reverse Scale Sect, Qingyi found that such a practice outweighed the losses, and more importantly, the crossbow arrows recovered were very small, and the weapons and blades that were snatched could not match the dense sound crossbow in terms of strength and size, and the bee blades could not be copied.
The sneak attack of the Reverse Scale Sect made the Medicine Sect smell a trace of struggle, and the Martial King Sect sent a thousand disciples of the Harmony Period, took off the heavy steel armor, and just held a steel shield to protect the body, like a steel barrier, and followed by a ten-person team of two people in a row, including nine casual cultivators, one disciple of the Medicine Sect, followed by the shield cover and scattered cultivation team of the second team, the Martial King Sect who lost the steel armor did not have the confidence to walk in the snow, even if he was wearing steel combat boots, the exposed part of the body could still become the target of the Reverse Scale Sect.
The shield cover of the Martial King Sect, the healing spell of the disciples of the Medicine Sect, and the various true qi and blade throwing of the scattered cultivators did make this so-called alliance team move forward a distance of several hundred meters, and the secret sound of the Reverse Scale Sect shot on the stainless steel shield and collided with countless sparks, and the shield designed by the Martial King Sect for this strong attack, there were countless sawtooth bites where the two intersected, which allowed the disciples of the Martial King Sect who were walking side by side to disassemble the shields to defend separately, and they could resist the powerful impact of the crossbow with the strength of the two of them. And the Wuwang Sect, which is known for its strength, does show extremely strong strength, maybe a crossbow arrow can only spark sparks, and ten, dozens of crossbow arrows are fired at the same time, which also makes them unbearable, the impact force from the shield makes the Wuwang Sect's disciple's arm sore, and then he had to kneel on one knee, and stiffen the steel shield with his shoulder. Another group shot and killed the cultivators who were exposed to the shield.
Whether it is the Reverse Scale Sect or the Martial King Sect, the commander is distressed, the Reverse Scale Sect reserves 100,000 crossbow arrows, and more than 30,000 have been consumed after a year of defense, and the current attack almost consumes thirty crossbow arrows to make the disciples of the Martial King Sect unable to bear it and kneel, and then even if each crossbow arrow will take a person's life, it will almost take forty crossbow arrows to kill a team, and the thousand disciples sent by the Martial King Sect can form a team of five hundred, so to annihilate such a team, at least 20,000 crossbow arrows are needed. Wuwangzong's side is also painful, the shield used in this attack is made of stainless steel as the main raw material, and a small amount of black iron is fused during it, and the black iron consumed by a thousand shields has reached an astonishing two hundred catties, and the output of the Kuixing Continent is only more than twenty catties a year, and the scarce output makes the ratio of black iron to gold reach one to five hundred, even then it is still priceless, and more importantly, the thousand-person Harmony Period squad accounts for one-fifth of the disciples of the Martial King Sect's Harmony Period, and the disciples of the Martial King Sect who have no blades and heavy armor are doomed to death the moment the shield flies, And under the strength of the Reverse Scale Sect that doesn't seem to care about consumption, a thousand disciples already have a hundred blood-stained cloud cliffs, and the stainless steel shields with black iron on a hundred sides are discarded on the ice and snow ladder with blood, and none of the cultivators who have seen the power of the dense sound crossbow dare to snatch it, and the disciples of the Scattered Cultivation and Medicine Sect want to pick up the shield to cover the crossbow, and they find that the stainless steel shield that was lifted by the Martial King Sect actually weighed three hundred catties under the fusion of black iron, not to mention defense, even lifting it is a very difficult thing, And the impact of several crossbow arrows immediately made them turn on their backs, and the follow-up Martial King Sect team held their shields and advanced slowly, at the cost of the entire front team being wiped out, and the ten squads of Medicine Sect, Martial King Sect, and Scattered Cultivation were ruthlessly exterminated, and the casualty ratio was one to two to nine, and the Scattered Cultivators still suffered heavy losses.
Killing thousands of people, more than 4,000 crossbow arrows were consumed, which made Qingyi's back cold, and finally had to form a hundred-person squad under the persuasion of his junior brother Mu Chi and all the disciples, each carrying a bee blade, sneaking in the wind and snow, slowly approaching the alliance team, and exchanging suicide for more local casualties.
Qingyi and Mu Chi watched with tears as the disciples disappeared into the raging snowstorm, countless crossbow arrows were tilted on the cultivator team below with anger, and two hours later, the snake-like cultivator team below began to be chaotic, and a hundred disciples of the Reverse Scale Sect sneaked under the snow, and then jumped out of the snow between the ten-person team protected by the two groups of shields, directly detonating the bee blade, and through the ice and snow Qingyi heard the screams and exclamations that sounded almost at the same time, and the assassination sect's grasp of time was extremely accurate, The stainless steel shield fell on the ice and snow with a sonorous sound, a thousand disciples of the Martial King Sect, five hundred teams of twelve people, except for the hundred disciples of the Martial King Sect and nearly a thousand scattered cultivators who were lost at the beginning, the suicide attack of the Reverse Scale Sect made the remaining cultivators almost annihilated, most of the direct casualties were under the bee blade, and a small number of people fell in a daze under the attack skills released by their own people, only the dozens of teams at the end could still see the original appearance, and the hundred disciples of the Reverse Scale Sect did not survive.
The corners of the thousand souls' mouths that got the news turned up slightly: The trapped beast is still fighting.
Thousand Souls didn't care about this casualty, compared to the dead Scattered Cultivators and Martial King Sect disciples, the loss of the Medicine Sect was almost negligible, slowly blowing away the mist on the teacup, and Thousand Souls gently spit out an order: stop the attack and continue the siege.
No one questioned it, and no one dared to question it, all the cultivators thought that the time of the Reverse Scale Sect was short, although it may not be exhausted, but at least the food would be starved, who would have thought that the biggest problem that the Reverse Scale Sect was currently facing with such a violent tilting of crossbow arrows and bee blades was not food supply at all, but a huge consumption of weapons.
