Chapter 117: The Situation
Xin Yan stood in front of the Broken Dragon Ditch, staring at the old dragon island opposite, nervously thinking about the plan to break through the drawbridge and capture the city.
But these plans were largely rejected by himself.
More than 300 zhang in front of him was the Broken Dragon Ditch that made all the cultivators change their complexions, the Broken Dragon Ditch was actually a huge spatial crack, this spatial crack was more than three miles wide, dozens of miles long, it was like a natural chasm separating the old Dragon Island and the mainland into two completely different worlds.
From time to time, a terrifying gang wind came out from the cracks in the space, extremely cold, even if Xin Yan was so far away, the cold gang wind was blowing, he still couldn't stand it. According to Chen Yi, this spatial crack is extremely dangerous, and a Jindan-level master has accidentally been involved in it, and has been devoured by the spatial crack, and even his soul has not been able to escape.
The only passage connecting Laolong Island to the mainland is a dilapidated suspension bridge that seems to collapse at any moment. It is said that the suspension bridge is an ancient ruin, which existed here tens of thousands of years ago. I don't know which master was able to erect this mile-long suspension bridge in the crack of time and space raging in this wind.
The end of this suspension bridge connecting the mainland is about thirty zhang wide, and it is not a problem to accommodate nearly a hundred cultivators at the same time, but the closer it is to the end of Laolong Island, it is getting narrower and narrower, and the narrowest part is less than three feet wide, and it can only accommodate one cultivator at most.
In order to hold this passage, Laolong Island built a ten-zhang high city tower at the opposite bridgehead, and arranged dozens of crescent crossbows on it, the crescent crossbow is hugely powerful, and can penetrate any armor and shield below the fifth grade, and any cultivator below the Jindan stage who tries to pass through the suspension bridge will not escape the fate of being sniped.
Because the end of the drawbridge close to the mainland is extremely wide and can accommodate dozens of people to attack at the same time, the Demon Wind Pirates can make full use of the crescent crossbow on the castle tower as a suppressive firepower, covering the assault war department to complete the assembly on the bridge, and can easily attack this side. Due to the extremely cold wind near the spatial rift, it was impossible to build a fortress at all, and it was extremely difficult to defend.
Xin Yan's heart was bright, if he couldn't take the old dragon island before Long Ao came back with reinforcements, the Demon Wind Pirates could attack them through the suspension bridge at any time, in that case, they would always be under the threat of the Demon Wind Pirates.
"No! we must take Old Dragon Island!"
Xin Yan secretly made up his mind to capture Old Dragon Island before Long Ao returned. But in his eagerness, he couldn't think of a good way to cross the suspension bridge, and he couldn't help but be very anxious as time passed little by little.
"What a terrible blow!"
I don't know when the red demon ran out, and he looked at the broken dragon ditch in front of him and let out a burst of admiration.
The Red Demon cultivation is extremely high, and his eyes are too high to the top, and there are not many things that can make him praised.
Xin Yan's heart moved. This old demon is well-informed, and maybe there is a way to get there. However, the Red Demon is an old man, a full profiteer, ruthless, and skillful in knocking on the bamboo pole, and his hands are black and heavy, which makes Xin Yan want to die every time. Xin Yan knew that if he begged this old demon directly, he would have to pay an extremely heavy price.
He rolled his eyes and decided to make a roundabout attack, hoping to get something useful out of the old demon's mouth.
"Red Demon, do you also know this Broken Dragon Ditch?"
Sure enough, the red demon smiled and said, "Don't pretend to understand if you don't understand! This is not a broken dragon ditch at all, this is one of the famous ancient ruins, called the Amazing God Ditch." ”
"Shocking ditch?" Xin Yan heard it for the first time, and couldn't help but be very curious.
The Red Demon is indeed worthy of being a thousand-year-old demon, and he has a few treasures about the secret history of various relics in the history of cultivation, and he talked eloquently and said: "According to the classics, this amazing ditch was formed 100,000 years ago, and it is the place where a generation of meditation masters and Kunlun sword cultivation masters Ling Xuzi argued. Back then, in order to show his cultivation, Ling Xuzi casually swung a sword in his hand, tearing a gap in the Nine Heavens. The Nine Heavens Gangfeng took advantage of the gap to enter, which is also the real reason why the Demon Wind Sea has been raging so far, and the storm is sinister. ”
"A sword that breaks through the void?"
Xin Yan really couldn't imagine what a terrifying state Ling Xuzi's cultivation had reached, and he could break through the void with a sword in his hand.
"Hmph! How can a frog at the bottom of a well like you imagine the demeanor of an ancient master!" The red demon actually showed a little fascinated expression between his words, and he couldn't help but start to think about his past stormy years......
However, Xin Yan could hear the mystery, and when he saw that the red demon had a tendency to wander again, he hurriedly reminded: "Then what happened later? I mean how did this shocking ditch come about." ”
The red demon was pulled back to reality by Xin Yan Shengsheng from the past turbulent years, and his face obviously showed a little displeasure, but he still patiently explained: "Ling Xuzi thought that his sword would definitely be able to overwhelm the shocking gods, but who knew that the shocking gods smiled slightly, stretched out a finger, and swiped lightly between the two, so there was this shocking ditch."
"Ahh......h It's too perverted, isn't it? ”
Xin Yan was stunned, with a stroke of his hand, he could cut the mountains and rivers, what a magical power this should be.
The Red Demon said: "This is not the most powerful, it is said that the masters of the Protoss in the ancient era were even stronger, cutting mountains and rivers, tearing the void or something, for them, it was just a piece of cake." It is said that the boundary river between the major realms is now made by them. ”
Xin Yan was very curious: "What's the use of them tossing this?" As soon as the words came out, he regretted it a little.
Sure enough, the red demon looked at Xin Yan like an idiot, shook his head and said, "I've seen scum, I've never seen you like a scumbag." The boundary river, as the name suggests, is naturally the meaning of demarcating and ruling and dividing up the territory. ”
"That's how the Boundary River came from. Although Xin Yan was scolded bloody, he was not annoyed, and then asked, "What about this Broken Dragon Ditch...... Oh, do you know who built the bridge over this amazing ditch?"
The red demon glanced at the strange bridge that seemed to be in tatters, but it was in the middle of the wind, but it did not move at all, and said, "This is the first city building master of Momen, Mo Cormorant. In order to show his skill in building the city, he built this bridge over this amazing ditch, and I thought that this bridge had been destroyed in the war, and I didn't want it to still exist in the world. ”
Xin Yan didn't expect that the Red Demon even knew this, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, he knew that the Red Demon must have a way to cross the bridge. He was thinking about how to lure the Red Demon and tell him how to cross the bridge. Who knew that before he could speak, the red demon actually took the initiative to speak, saying, "You must want to know how to cross the bridge?"
"Tell me, is there any way to cross the bridge?" Xin Yan didn't even think about it, so he rushed out. But when he saw the red demon with a treacherous face, his heart sank. It turned out that this old demon had guessed his mind early on, and the reason why he said so much to himself was to let himself enter the game, so that he could knock himself hard again. He knew that this time he would inevitably be slaughtered by this old demon again.
Sure enough, the red demon said: "Actually, crossing the bridge or something, it's very simple, if you can bring three or five gold pills or something, I can tell you this." He looked at Xin Yan, whose face turned gray all of a sudden, and the smile on his face was even stronger, he pretended to be a look of enlightenment, and said: "By the way, I remember, you promised me last time to bring me a batch of Jindan...... Let's settle this new account and old account together, well, considering that you are too wasteful, I won't want much this time, a golden pill. Think of it as interest. ”
"A golden pill? or is it just interest?" When Xin Yan heard this, he directly even had the intention to kill. The Red Demon, a dead shemale, what did he think Jin Dan was, it could be like catching a chicken, and there were several of them at a time? If he had such a skill, he would still need to worry about crossing the bridge.
"How about it, isn't my proposal worth considering?" the Red Demon looked like he was stunned, and he analyzed: "If my guess is correct, the old dragon head should be on the way back now, and he must be followed by the war department lent to him by the Red Magic." If you can't capture Old Dragon Island before they come back, you'll have a lot of fun. ”
Xin Yan had to admit that this old demon's analysis was extremely reasonable. If it is really like what the red demon said, the old dragon head will definitely use the old dragon island as a base, bring reinforcements all the way over, and directly drive them back to Shuinan Lingyuan, and reunite and annihilate them.
Don't look at the fact that he has now recruited a lot of demon wind bandits, and it seems that his power has increased greatly, but these people are all newly attached, and people's hearts are undecided, if there is a fight, it will be good if these people don't make trouble. Except for Nangong Yunshan and the twenty-four maids, Wenxiu, Huzi and others, plus those few foodies, his subordinates no longer have the combat power to handle. Such a small person, if he can't occupy a dangerous place, he can't resist the impact of the elite demon wind bandits in the brigade.
However, Xin Yan was still a little unconvinced, and he asked rhetorically: "How can you be sure that Chishu will definitely lend troops to Long Ao?"
"Isn't this the lice on the bald man's head, it's an obvious thing?" the red demon smiled coldly and said, "Long Ao has been haunted by the red arts since he was defeated by the red arts, and the red arts know this, but he just can't find a chance to clean him up. You fight with Long Ao, which is exactly what Chishu is happy to see, and he wants to use your hand to weaken Long Ao's power. At that time, Long Ao begged him, and he naturally would not send a soldier. But the problem is, you beat Long Ao too badly. Originally, there was still a dragon pride between you and Chishu. Now that Long Ao is gone, this also means that the conflict and confrontation between you and Chishu will begin from now on. On the side of the couch, how can he let others sleep soundly! Will the red art make you grow and grow under his nose? The most important thing is that he has always coveted this old dragon island, and all he lacked before was just an excuse. Now, he just took advantage of this battle to justifiably take the old dragon island as his own. Therefore, this time, he will not only lend troops to Long Ao, but also dispatch the elite department to knock you down in one fell swoop. ”
