205. Regroup and break the formation
205. Revive the strength and break the formation
Xiang An soon appeared in the dinghy, and Duan Wutian shouted as soon as he saw Xiang An: "Didn't you kid hum and chirp and be seriously injured?" Why did you recover so quickly? Not to mention that the injury is healed, there is still time to dress up! ”
Xiang An does seem to be in good spirits, obviously his injuries are healed, and he is new from head to toe, so he is naturally bathing and changing. In contrast, although Qingshi and the other three were washed in the heavy rain before entering the dinghy last night, their heads and faces were clean, but there were still a lot of mud marks on the clothes on their bodies, and the shoes covered with mud were thrown in the corners before they had time to be washed.
"Shh Xiang An said, "Can't I recover quickly?" After saying that, he sat down cross-legged.
The Xiang clan is the head of the four major families in the Tianlong Continent, in addition to being the first in the world in the formation Dao technique, its martial arts background is no less than that of any clan, and it is not uncommon for his family's healing secret skills to be outstanding, and Qingshi knows that he should have the credit of the little fat essence blood if he recovers quickly.
"Alright," said Bluestone, "let's talk about the mysterious cannon." Has Xiang An seen it? ”
"No," Xiang An said, "It's really strange that there is such a powerful killing weapon on this island." ”
"What's weird?" Duan Wutian asked.
"Like Qingshi, I think there are almost no formation dao spells overseas," Xiang An said, "We haven't found any traces of the existence of magic circles on the island before, but I didn't expect that there are such clever magic circles and big killing weapons hidden here, isn't this weird enough?" ”
"How did it have anything to do with the circle?" Duan Wutian said, "Isn't it a cannon?" ”
"Let's not talk about the cannon first," Xiang An said, "After all, this cannon is only a part of the defensive array, and the magic circle of this guard cannon is not trivial, Qingshi should be familiar with it." ”
"That's right," Qingshi said, "the base of the cannon is a magic array, such a clever magic circle, no one on the continent can lay it out, I have only seen a magic circle laid by the immortals ten thousand years ago that can be compared to it." ”
"Not bad!" Xiang An said, "Only the trial path of the Immortal Sword Sect is so subtle. ”
Qingshi and Xiang An both discovered that the circular magic array disk at the base of the cannon was very similar to the golden cloud disk and golden water disk of the Immortal Sword Sect's trial path. According to Qingshi's estimate, this island has been uninhabited for at least a thousand years, and it is in an environment where the sea breeze has been raging for many years.
Duan Wutian and Chen Tianye had never seen the path of trial, so Qingshi briefly told them about it so that they could understand the greatness of this defensive array and array artillery.
Duan Wutian didn't know how to move, and he was in a fog after listening to it for a long time.
Chen Tianye's formation level was obviously inferior to Qingshi Xiang An, but after Qingshi's explanation, he understood a little.
"In this way, this magic array is indeed clever," Chen Tianye said thoughtfully, "You said that the golden cloud disk and the golden water plate are still taken care of from time to time, but this array disk has not been taken care of for a long time but can still operate normally, which is indeed remarkable." ”
"I don't think so," Duan Wutian said, "It's certain that no one has taken care of this array of cannons and magic circles for a long time, otherwise someone will definitely come to check after we are shot down." However, it is not necessary to say that it can still operate normally, and I tried twice before Qingshi and failed to cause an artillery attack, which means that it is not working from time to time, and most of it is still damaged. ”
"Shh Xiang An sneered and said, "Ignorance! ”
"Brother Qi is mistaken," Qingshi said with a smile, "Our previous two attempts did not trigger an artillery bombardment, which shows the cleverness of this defensive array!" This shows that it has an extremely advanced discrimination system that can recognize people's breath. ”
"Can it recognize people?" Duan Wutian suddenly realized, "The branches and flying spears are dead things, so they won't trigger a defensive array, we are living people, so it will fire!" ”
"Yes!" Xiang An said, "It's not too stupid after all!" ”
"Of course!" Duan Wutian deliberately ignored Xiang An's sarcasm, and even felt a little proud, and Xiang An was also speechless.
"This defensive circle is so powerful, what should we do?" Chen Tianye frowned.
"If it really doesn't work, don't go in," Xiang An said, "If it weren't for the strong defense of the spherical airship made of bluestone, I'm afraid we would all burp." I don't want to get shot again. ”
"Cowardice!" Duan Wutian scolded, "Qingshi asked him to go back to the egg house, let's go in and explore, with such a powerful magic circle guard, the treasure inside must be in the sea, let's get the treasure and don't give it to him." ”
"I mean, there's really no way to give up!" Xiang An said, "If you want to retreat, you will retreat together, and if you want to advance, you will also advance together!" Who's afraid? ”
"I'm afraid!" Chen Tianye smiled, "I'm afraid of the baby!" ”
Several people laughed.
"We can't afford to take this shot in vain!" "In my opinion, the cannon alone is priceless. That array disk is the same, when I was in the Immortal Sword Sect, I wanted to dismantle the golden cloud disk to study and study, but I was embarrassed to start. This time, I will definitely get this magic array disk. ”
"Good!" Xiang An also figured it out, his eyes lit up and said, "Let's find a way." ”
"Yes," Qingshi said, "no matter how powerful this cannon is, no one can control it now, so I don't believe there is no way." ”
"You like arrays and cannons," Duan Wutian said, "but I like other treasures, I think no matter what secrets there are, there are good treasures anyway!" I must go in! ”
"Of course!" Chen Tianye said, "You must get the baby!" ”
It's a good thing to unify the thoughts, but how to break through the level makes a few people feel that they can't start, the cannon is too powerful, it is obviously impossible to enter from the air, and to enter from the ground, you need to face Hai Lingbiao, Rao is scheming bluestone and Xiang An, who has a lot of ghost ideas, is also at a loss.
The weather is very good, the moisture in the forest quickly dissipates under the sunlight, Qingshi and the others have been a little worried, afraid that after the weather is good, those bone spur demon wolves and ghost bats will come to search and attack them, but until the sun is about to set, there is no demon wolf or ghost bat, it seems that they will not cross their lair defense line and enter deeper places.
Soon night fell, but the moon was sparse, and after the semi-circular moon rose, the forest was sprinkled with dappled clear light, and the sparkling river seemed extraordinarily bright. Qingshi and Chen Tianye had already bathed, changed clothes and washed up, and were sitting on the edge of the dinghy at this time, watching the forest under the moonlight and drinking and drinking. Xiang An had already gone back to the egg house, but Duan Wutian had climbed to another big tree to practice martial arts.
"Amano," Qingshi said suddenly, "Have you noticed it, there seem to be fewer sea spirits in this river!" ”
"That's right," Chen Tianye said, "I've been calculating the number, and tonight's Hai Lingbiao probably won't even have a tenth of last night's." ”
"Perhaps......," Qingshi pondered, "Perhaps, this is the case: when the weather is fine, ghost bats and demon wolves can be on guard and defensive, and Hai Lingbiao doesn't need to exert too much effort." And on the night of the wind and rain, the defense of the ghost bat and the demon wolf decreases, and the sea spirit biao will defend more tightly. ”
"It makes sense," Chen Tianye said, "but these Hai Lingbiao should still be lurking in the river, although there are few people who come out to patrol, but once there is a situation, they will definitely all be dispatched." ”
"Not necessarily," Qingshi said as he thought of the dense sea spirits on the beach that day, "I guess this river is connected to the sea, and there should be a waterway underneath, and when the weather is fine, most of the sea spirits will go to the beach, and they will come here to avoid the waves during storms." Yes, it must be so, because they still need to go to the sea to feed, otherwise how could such a river feed so many sea spirits? ”
"That's right!" Chen Tianye slapped his thigh, "In this way, the best time for us to break through the defense line of the bone spur demon wolf and ghost bat is in stormy weather, and the best time to break through the defense line of this sea spirit biao is on a sunny night!" ”
"Yes!" Qingshi said, "We can test it first." ”
The two of them said they would do it, and immediately got up and went to the river, since there were no ghost bats and demon wolves coming and Hai Lingbiao would not go ashore to pursue, Qingshi and Chen Tianye unscrupulously cut down a big tree and threw it into the river. Sure enough, the big tree was attacked a lot less than the night before, both the number and power of the water arrows were less than one-tenth of yesterday's, and it seemed that most of the Hai Lingbiao who stayed behind were old, weak, sick, and young.
"Great," said Aoishi, "you don't need a spherical airship made of dark iron and steel, an ordinary airship can withstand it, and at most it will strengthen the bottom of the boat." ”
"That's right!" Chen Tianye said, "But the biggest danger is still the cannon, and this problem still can't be solved." ”
Qingshi was very excited at the moment, and felt that his brain was also spinning quickly, and he groaned slightly, "Amano, tell me, what is the biggest weakness of this mysterious defense array?" ”
"Weakness?" Chen Tianye said, "Yes..... No one is watching. ”
"Yes!" Qingshi smiled, "Since there is no one to take care of it, then we will consume it!" Drain its energy! ”
Chen Tianye was stunned, this idea was not very clever, but it was effective. Judging from the current situation, all kinds of signs indicate that this cannon is running on its own, since this is the case, no one has added a spiritual source to it, and it can completely use up its spiritual source, unless it can use an endless stream of spiritual sources such as the leyline, but such a technique is very complicated and the possibility is low.
The decision was made, Qingshi immediately called Xiang An and Duan Wutian, and told the two of them his main intentions, Duan Xiang and the two of them were naturally overjoyed, and everyone immediately started to work.
According to Qingshi's plan, several people quickly cut down about 50 trees the thickness of sea bowls, and removed the branches to make a log several feet long. Bluestone removed the roof of the small airship, which had been used as a shelter from the wind and rain, and then drove it to hover under the canopy of an ancient tree less than ten feet away from the river.
On the dinghy, Qingshi took out a log from the storage container and handed it to Duan Wutian and said, "Seventh brother, come on, you are our cannon." ”
Duan Wutian laughed and said, "Okay! I'm a decoy cannon. With that, he picked up his arms and bent down to help, and threw the log out with his throwing spear skills.
The dinghy is about fifteen zhang high from the ground, and the log is thrown out to immediately penetrate the canopy, flying over the river and towards the opposite bank.
In the moonlight, I saw the logs flying over like javelins, and more than a dozen water arrows were shot out of the river, but none of them hit the logs. The log flew over the river, and continued to fly about a hundred zhang square and fell into the forest, making a sparse sound of smashing the branches and leaves of the trees, although the distance was far away, but Qingshi and the others could hear it clearly.
Duan Wutian saw that there was no cannon fired, and he couldn't help but pat his head and said: "Oh Qingshi, although this log is thicker than a flying gun, it still can't trigger a cannon, this must be a living thing." ”
"That's right!" Qingshi smiled and said, "Let's test it first, this time I hung a live bait." After speaking, he took out a log again and handed it to Duan Wutian, and gestured to Xiang An, Xiang An immediately fished out a small fish more than three inches long from a small bucket at the tail of the cabin, and he tied a thin black hemp rope through the gills of the small fish, and then tied it to the log.
"Brother Seven is coming again!" Qingshi said.
"Such a small fish can start a cannon?" Duan Wutian said.
"Let's try," Qingshi said with a smile, "Our iron bird cage has blocked almost all of our breath, and as a result, we have all set off a burst of cannons, and this little fish will probably be able to do it." "This little fish is naturally looking for Xiaopang again, to be precise, Qingshi They exchanged ten roast sheep for dozens of small fish.
"Good!" Duan Wutian was not verbose, and threw the log out again.
The log dodged the water and flew over the river and flew straight into the forest on the opposite bank, at this moment, a blue-black bright light suddenly lit up in the forest on the opposite bank and accompanied by a cannon sound, a black cannonball flew out of the forest and hit the log accurately, instantly breaking it into pieces.
Seeing the success of the plan, several people couldn't help but cheer.
Qingshi drove the airship to the south for a distance of fifty zhang, and let Duan Wutian shoot again, and sure enough, the artillery bombardment was triggered, and the gun position remained unchanged from the previous position.
Qingshi moved north again, the situation is the same, it seems that this array of artillery is defending within the range of a few hundred zhang, Qingshi doesn't care how many array of artillery there is, thinking: as long as this piece is such a cannon, then this cannon will be consumed, as for the array of artillery in other directions, after crossing the river, there will naturally be time to slowly clean up.
Qingshi then asked Duan Wutian to throw the log bait vigorously in the direction of this cannon, but after inducing thirty cannons in a row, there was no sign of weakness in that cannon. Qingshi thought for a moment and said: "Old Xiang, you also throw one to try, you two throw it together, I want to see how good this cannon can be!" ”
This time, Xiang An and Duan Wutian threw two logs at the same time, and after the two logs flew into the range of the cannon, they were destroyed one after another, and there was only a few breaths of time in between.
The next time, Qingshi also threw a log, that is to say, three at the same time, and as a result, the cannon actually fired three cannons in a dozen breaths, the first two logs were destroyed in the air, and the third log was actually destroyed when it was already on the ground.
"That's awesome, isn't it?" Duan Wutian shouted, "How can this be done?" ”
"Seventh Brother is wrong again!" Qingshi laughed, "This just shows its weakness, if someone controls it, it will definitely not let it fire so densely, and it will never hit the target that has fallen to the ground." Come on, I don't believe it can hold up! ”
One after another, the three of them threw logs, and the more than fifty logs were soon exhausted.
Duan Wutian and Xiang An held the last two logs and prepared to shoot, but Qingshi had no logs, Xiang An said: "It seems that we still underestimate this mysterious cannon!" ”
Duan Wutian said: "Yes, is this still going to be launched?" "He's almost used up his strength.
"Shoot!" Qingshi gritted his teeth and said, "This damn array cannon, it charges so quickly and lasts so long, it seems that it really uses underground spirit veins." If it really doesn't work, I'll use the Xuanhu cannon to bombard it. "Qingshi really intends to do this, anyway, the approximate location of the cannon has been figured out, so if it can't be done, he will blast it to pieces with the concocted cannon.
"Go!" Duan Wutian roared and threw the log. Xiang An also followed and threw the last one.
The two logs each received two arrows and flew across the river, triggering another shelling, but this time the sound of the shelling seemed to be somewhat different, a black cannonball flew out of the canopy but did not hit a single log, and the cannonball seemed to be not powerful enough, and actually made a low arc and fell into the river. After a few breaths, there was another loud bang, and this time, the sound was clearly not the roar of the launch but the explosion of the explosion.
Then, there was no more sound.
"Haha, overloaded launch," Qingshi laughed and said, "It's probably a bomb!" ”
