Chapter 336: A Lonely Abyssal Beast
A hundred-meter-long black warship slowly flew through the sky, passing through two adjacent hanging islands and heading towards the boundary of the Heaven and Earth Great Array. This is a warship of soldiers, and it is one of the meritorious warships that was found in the southward attack. Although he is already a little old and can only arrange daily patrol tasks, the iron-blooded aura of the warship is still there. At the beginning, tens of thousands of such warships advanced south from the border line and conquered Nanzhao like a dead and decaying state.
But now, this meritorious warship can only shrink in the great array of heaven and earth, where is there still a little bit of the indomitable fighting spirit of the battlefield.
The armor on the ship also looked a little sluggish, and this was just a pointless daily patrol for them. The Great Array of Heaven and Earth sealed the entire Tianshu City, and the people inside couldn't get out, and the people outside couldn't enter, and this kind of inspection was actually more like a kind of self-comfort under idleness. The soldiers stood bored on the warship, and no one dared to look at the dense crowd outside Tianshu City.
The people outside the city began to shout like a tsunami after seeing a warship flying over, although they knew that the people on the warship had already been insensitive, but they still waved their hands like crazy, as if as long as they waved and shouted like this, it was possible to return to their own homes in Tianshu City.
A man who looked to be in a trance suddenly stood up and muttered, "When you see the warship coming to pick me up, I know they won't give up on me." I am different from you, I used to be a member of the Great Chu army. Wait here for your death, I'm going back. ”
Then he began to run towards the city, shouting that I am here as he ran, and then slammed into the barrier of the Heaven and Earth Great Array, and was directly torn to pieces by that terrifying force. The people around him watched him die with unusually cold eyes, and no one even exclaimed. It was as if it was not a person who died beside them, but a leaf that fell to the ground.
When the warship reached the edge of the Heaven and Earth Array, it was about to turn around and sail back, and the soldiers forced themselves not to look at the people. The general who led the team lowered his head and looked at the straight knife in his hand, and gave a low order to go back. His voice was a little hoarse, as if he hadn't drunk water in days.
At this moment, the crowd outside suddenly let out a frightened shout. This shout was different from the previous shout, and it was clearly frightened by something extremely terrifying. The soldiers on the big ship subconsciously looked over, and then their eyes widened. It was as if they had seen something absolutely impossible, and everyone was stunned in amazement.
Outside the Heaven and Earth Great Array, behind the crowd, an abyssal beast that looked to be fifty meters tall strode over, waving the big stick in its hand as it ran. It was a savage-like abyssal beast with black, curly hair. It was wearing thick iron armor, so the sound of footsteps was particularly heavy. With each step, the ground will be trampled and sink a little.
The crowd began to panic and split like a tide on either side. The savage beast ran outside the Heaven and Earth Great Array and roared at the crowd. He swung his stick and bowed his head to intimidate the people, then straightened up and laughed triumphantly. As if he had completed the conquest of Tianshu City, he smiled so unscrupulously.
"Hurry up and send the arrows!"
The general on the ship immediately roared, and the soldiers behind him released the arrows that had been prepared but had not been used once into the sky, and the sharp sound resounded in the sky, and then exploded in the sky, forming a red firework. When the trumpet exploded, the entire Tianshu City was boiling. In an instant, warships rose from all over the place, and at least a thousand warships took off in the air and flew towards this side almost at the same time.
At the same time, countless cultivators rushed towards this side, including many powerhouses of the Spirit Mountain Realm. These cultivators came from different families or yamen, and as if they were ready to sound their horns and arrows, they rushed to the edge of the Heaven and Earth Great Array as soon as possible.
The Su zhì of the Great Chu army was fully displayed at this moment, and such a reaction speed was enough to be shocking. All the weapons on the ship were ready, and the heavy crossbows were all adjusted to aim at the abyssal beast outside. Although they all knew that it was impossible for this abyssal beast to break through the Heaven and Earth Great Array, everyone was like a great enemy.
"How many?"
Someone rubbed their eyes and asked incredulously.
"One by one, right?"
Someone answered uncertainly, though he did see only one. But it is rumored that the abyssal beast is dispatched, and hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops are dispatched at every turn. No one believed that only one Abyssal Beast could run alone outside Tianshu City, and everyone was on guard, watching into the distance, trying to spot a powerful army of Abyssal Beasts from the horizon.
But they waited for a long time, but they never waited for the second abyssal beast. The savage beast pounded its chest with a fist and drummed, and roared at the warship. It seemed that it had no fear of these human cultivators, and an abyssal beast tried to challenge the entire Heavenly Pivot City.
"What's going on?"
A man of high status came last on a huge battleship, wearing a yellow royal robe, apparently a holy prince. The nine sons of the Holy Emperor, except for the Anyang Wang Lin Qiping and the Liling Wang Lin Qizhong, the other princes are still alive. Perhaps this is the strangest phenomenon since the founding of the Great Chu State, because in the past, in the process of seizing the throne, there were always a few princes who became victims.
Maybe it was because after King Anyang left, King Lin Qicheng of Pingjiang had ascended the throne, and he felt that his brothers were no longer a threat to him, or maybe it was something else, so he never attacked these brothers.
The holy prince who rushed here is Lin Qi'an, the king of Jiujiang, and now he is still quite used under the hands of the forest equipment crew, and he is entrusted with the important task of the military office. Since the founding of the Great Chu State, no prince has held this position. Perhaps, this is also a subconscious idea that no one can trust, so it is better to trust his brother.
"Lord Wang, there is an abyss beast outside, and it wants to attack. ”
The generals who answered Lin Qi'an themselves were a little unconvinced, although it seemed that the abyssal beast really wanted to attack.
"One head?"
Lin Qi'an's face changed, and then he waved his hand casually: "Don't pay attention to it, let's see if there is an army of abyss beasts coming behind you." All the troops on duty were not allowed to go back, and they were guarding here. In addition, please ask the people of Tianji Mansion to guard the eyes of the Great Array of Heaven and Earth, and there can be no mistakes. ”
"Yes!"
Everyone agreed, looking at the still roaring abyssal beast outside in confusion
"The abyssal beast outside is still there?"
The Holy Emperor Forest Instrument sat outside the ice cave and asked a little absentmindedly. In the ice cave, there was a coffin made of 10,000-year-old ice, and his father, the Old Holy Emperor Lin Heng, was lying in it. Although he is not dead yet, he seems to have lost the slightest hint of life.
Ten thousand years of ice sealed him and preserved his body. But no one believed that he would wake up, and perhaps it was just a hope to put him here. For some reason, Lin Qicheng did not dare to come closer to see his father. Perhaps he was afraid that his father would suddenly sit up and ask him why he had made such a great chu what he was now.
How should he respond?
"It's still there. ”
Jiujiang King Lin Qi'an hung his head and replied, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's just an abyss beast that has lost its way. It may not know that this is Tianshu City, and it may not know why it suddenly ran here. It's been so long, and no other abyssal beasts have come, which means that this is just an accidental phenomenon and nothing to worry about. According to the intelligence, the Abyss Beast army has not yet attacked Yanzhou, and it is still far from Tianshu City. Chen felt that it should just stay outside, if it broke in, it could just verify the power of the Heaven and Earth Great Array. ”
"I don't really know what a real abyss beast looks like. ”
Lin Qicheng turned around and walked back, and said in a somewhat sad tone as he walked: "There is a hundred images of the Abyss Beast on my desk, which was brought back by the people I sent out. I've memorized the appearance of every abyssal beast in the atlas, but what can I do?"
Lin Qi'an was silent for a while and then said, "The abyssal beasts seem to be incomparably powerful, but the minister thinks that since the national teacher has arranged them like this, he must be sure to get rid of those abyssal beasts." His Majesty only needs to guard Tianshu City here, and leave the rest to the national teacher. ”
"National Teacher?!"
Lin Qicheng snorted from his nose, and his pace became faster: "In the future, don't mention this person in front of me." ”
"Yes"
Lin Qi'an's face changed, but he didn't dare to ask why. He followed step by step behind the forest instrument, and his steps were very delicate. No matter how he went, he was always one step behind.
"I'm going to take a look. ”
Lin Qiqi walked outside and boarded the imperial chariot pulled by the nine-headed spirit beast. Hundreds of Royal Forest Armorers immediately lined up, each riding a spirit beast that looked like a tiger, but each had a pair of large wings on its back. With the order of the general on duty, hundreds of Royal Forest Army armor soldiers rose into the air in a neat line, and the nine-headed spirit beast pulled the imperial chariot and slowly rose into the air.
When the team flew to the edge of the Heaven and Earth Great Array, the soldiers and armorers who were still waiting for the battle immediately saluted. In any case, now Lin Qicheng is the Holy Emperor of Great Chu, symbolizing the prestige of not being provoked.
"How long?"
Lin Qi asked.
The one who remained in this commanding army was one of the generals of the Thirty-six Holy Churches, Hong Chongchou, the helmsman of the Hong family. This Templar general also participated in the war against Nanzhao, and his achievements were brilliant.
"It's been three hours since I returned to my majesty. ”
Hong Chongchou leaned over and replied, "After this beast came, he just kept roaring towards Tianshu City, but he seemed to know the danger of Tianshu City, and he never dared to go further. The minister is suspicious"
Seeing him pause, Lin Qicheng waved his hand and said, "Just say it." ”
"Yes"
Hong Chong said: "The minister thinks that this is a scout sent by the Yuan Beast. It was just bluffing now, and the minister felt that it was taking the opportunity to spy on the layout of Tianshu City. Because the more it screams like this, the more we feel that it has no fear. It seems that the wisdom of the abyssal beast should not be underestimated. ”
Lin Qicheng nodded: "Seven or eight times out of ten, these beasts are so smart." Let it watch, it won't see anything anyway. ”
Lin Qicheng looked at it for a while, seemed to lose some interest, and waved his hand to prepare to return to the palace. Just when the imperial chariot had already turned his head, he suddenly ordered to stop: "Old General Hong, I ordered to open a gap in the Great Array of Heaven and Earth, please personally lead the troops out to capture the abyssal beast alive, I want to take a closer look at how the abyssal beast was formed, and send it to the palace after catching it, and then invite the people from the Tianji Mansion to come over and unravel this abyssal beast together." ”
"Yes!"
Hong Chongchou was originally a belligerent character, and when he heard the Holy Emperor's order, he immediately took a warship out of the Heaven and Earth Great Array from a distance with a warship. R1058
