Chapter 261: Attack and Defense
When the Black Jiao cannon of the Dark Alliance bombarded the walls of Tianqian City, Lin Yang and Miao Fenghua had already descended to the bottom of the artificial lake with Du He.
Before going down to the bottom of the lake, Du He gave Lin Yang and Miao Fenghua a water-avoiding pill each.
The artificial lake is very deep, more than 70 meters long.
The bottom of the artificial lake is paved with cyan stripes of stone of the same size, and on the bluestone, there are intricate runes engraved with them.
The runes converged in the middle of the bottom of the lake, and Lin Yang, Miao Fenghua, and Du He were standing at the intersection of the runes at this time.
Du He crouched down, fumbling around where the central runes intersected, and finally twisted left and right on a rune.
Soon, the bluestone in the center of the lake bottom slowly moved to both sides, revealing a narrow stone gate for only two people to walk side by side, and above the stone gate, there was a faint halo.
Because of the halo, the water at the bottom of the lake cannot pour into the stone gate.
Du He took the lead, directly through the halo, and jumped from the stone gate.
Lin Yang and Miao Fenghua glanced at each other, and then floated down the stone gate.
Under the stone gate, there is an empty stone room six zhang square.
Inside the stone chamber, on the ground, on the walls, and on the top of the wall, there are also engraved runes, and these runes all converge on the high platform in the center of the stone chamber.
On the high platform, there is a gray-white jade lotus platform carved, and in the center of the lotus platform is stacked with pieces of crystal clear, sometimes shining yuan stones.
"Top-grade Yuanshi!"
Lin Yang had never seen a top-grade Yuan Stone since he stepped into the door of cultivation, but he could clearly perceive that these crystal clear Yuan Stones in the center of the Lotus Platform contained an extremely large amount of Yuan Power, far surpassing the Medium Grade Yuan Stones.
Therefore, Lin Yang concluded that these yuan stones were high-grade yuan stones.
Lin Yang roughly counted the Yuan stones on the lotus platform, and there were thousands of them. Thousands of high-grade yuan stones, converted into low-grade yuan stones, is tens of millions.
"The Tianqian City Formation is extremely powerful, but it is too costly to consume Yuan Stones, a small array eye is tens of millions of lower-grade Yuan Stones, and nine small array eyes are 90 million, not counting the big array eye in the Tianqian Pavilion. Moreover, I don't know how long these thousands of high-grade Yuan Stones can support the operation of the formation! Lin Yang made a rough calculation, and secretly sighed that maintaining the operation of the formation was too costly, and fighting a war was indeed the most costly thing.
"Two envoys, this is one of the nine small formations of the Tianqian City Protector Array, as long as it is destroyed, the formation light curtain that shelters the sixth waterway will dissipate, and the fifth-level and above Yuan Beasts of the Colorful Island can directly kill into the Tianqian City." Du He pointed to the lotus platform and introduced it to Lin Yang and Miao Fenghua, paused, and then continued:
"However, this lotus platform is built with a special method, it is extremely strong, and it can even withstand the heavy blows of the peak Yuan Cultivator of the Hundred Spins Realm, we need to work together to destroy it. Moreover, it is better to destroy it with one blow, because as long as we attack the Eye of the Formation, we will be discovered, and the more we delay, the more dangerous we are.
At the same time, the two envoys must also be prepared, once we destroy this array, Tianqian City will immediately send masters down, and it is likely that there will be masters of the Heavenly Wheel Realm. ”
After speaking, Du He was ready to destroy the lotus platform.
"Wait!" Lin Yang suddenly spoke.
Du He looked at Lin Yang suspiciously, but he only felt a flower in front of him, and Lin Yang appeared in front of him instantly.
"Teleport!"
Du He was shocked, but as soon as he had time to shout the word "teleportation", he saw Lin Yang raise his hand into a knife, and then slashed it fiercely.
Lin Yang slammed the knife on Du He's neck, and Du He couldn't react in the slightest, so he fell straight to the ground.
Du He clearly wanted to destroy the array, which was exactly what the Dark Alliance wanted, but Lin Yang directly shot at Du He, which made Miao Fenghua a little incomprehensible.
"After all, he is Liao Anhua's person, I can't believe him. Moreover, to destroy the array here, one person is enough, and he is not needed. Lin Yang knew that Miao Fenghua had doubts, so he said softly.
As he spoke, he approached the lotus platform seemingly casually and easily, and Miao Fenghua was standing next to the lotus platform at this moment.
"Once the array is destroyed here, Tianqian City will definitely send a master over, which is not possible, but there will definitely be a strong man in the Heavenly Wheel Realm. The Holy Alliance sent you and the prince to carry out this mission, and it was not intended that the two of you would be able to get out of here alive after destroying the formation, and the two of you were originally outcasts. But you're lucky enough to meet the envoy and get your life back. Lin Yang had already walked to Miao Fenghua's side.
Miao Fenghua saw Lin Yang stunned Du He, and her heart was somewhat vigilant, but when she heard Lin Yang's words, she immediately relaxed, and showed a flattering smile to Lin Yang on her face.
"When I smash this formation, you will immediately go out of here and wait for me directly at the Red Man Pavilion." After Lin Yang finished speaking, he was already standing in front of Miao Fenghua.
"Envoy, what should you do?" Miao Fenghua blinked her eyes and showed a very worried expression.
Lin Yang stretched out his hand and gently stroked Miao Fenghua's cheek, then slowly slid down, and landed his hand on Miao Fenghua's delicate pink neck.
Miao Fenghua's cheeks were flushed, she gasped slightly, and said, "Envoy, the matter is important now, and when you go to the Red Man Pavilion later, your subordinates will be at your disposal." ”
After speaking, Miao Fenghua showed a shy expression.
The corners of Lin Yang's mouth flashed into a light smile, and he suddenly changed his hand into a knife and slashed at Miao Fenghua's neck.
It's ridiculous that Miao Fenghua was still shy, but the next second she was stunned and collapsed on the spot.
After Lin Yang knocked Miao Fenghua unconscious, he dragged Du He over, sealed the two of them with Yuan Li and Zhihai, and even used hemp rope to tightly bind the two, and then threw them (her) under the high platform.
On the other side, the walls of the outer city of Tianqian City, which stretched for hundreds of miles, were full of burning flames, potted walls, broken bows and crossbows, and mutilated corpses.
Wu Kui and the nine commanders all went up to the city, commanding the battle, rescuing the wounded, repairing bows and crossbows, and were very busy.
The sudden stormy attack of the Dark Alliance and the Colorful Island caught the outer city Forbidden Sea Guard by surprise and suffered heavy losses.
Fortunately, Wu Kui and other high-level officials of the outer city did not relax, and they appeared in time to stabilize the situation again.
Fortunately, although the Black Jiao Cannon is powerful, the interval between firing is too long, and after firing once, it takes two to three breaths to launch the second time, which is enough time for the Dragon Tongue Bow and Sky Splitting Crossbow to be fired five or six times.
By the time the Black Jiao Cannon was fired for the third time, the Forbidden Sea Guards of Tianqian City had already reacted, and when the burning fireball was still flying in mid-air, the arrows in the sky directly met it.
After being shot by the arrow, the fireball immediately exploded in mid-air, and those unlucky flying primal beasts that were close were affected by the explosion, and for a while, thousands of flying primal beasts were killed or injured in the explosion in mid-air.
As a result, the Black Whale Ship of the Dark Alliance stopped firing the Black Jiao Cannon, and quietly stopped in place, handing over the battlefield to the Yuan Beast.
Under the attack of three rounds of artillery fire, the majestic and sturdy city wall of Tianqian City was bombarded with holes, and the outer city forbidden sea guards suffered heavy casualties, and the outermost gate of the waterway connecting the chaotic forbidden sea was either directly smashed or cracked, and the first gate was about to be lost.
As soon as the Dark Alliance joined the battlefield, it gave Tianqian City a dismount.
It was also because of the fate of the Dark Alliance that it directly hit the morale and deployment of the Forbidden Sea Guard, so that the tidal wave of the Yuan Beasts of the Colorful Island poured into the position of the next mile of the Tianqian City, and with only a few charges, the Yuan Beast army would attack the waterway and attack the head of the Tianqian City.
At the head of Tianqian City, the sound of the dragon tongue bow and the Sky Splitting Crossbow was endless, and wave after wave of arrows rained down, continuously harvesting the lives of the primordial beasts.
However, there are too many primordial beasts, and outside the Tianqian City, the air and the sea are completely the oceans of primordial beasts. The forbidden sea guards in the city no longer need to aim, as long as the strength is enough, they can hit the primordial beast.
This time, the Yuan Beast attacked the city, and the number of Yuan Beasts dispatched was the largest in the past hundred years. The number of primordial beasts is not only large, but also fearless of death, which makes the forbidden sea guards in the city all frightened, and their faces turned pale.
If it weren't for Wu Kui and the nine commanders and the senior generals of the Forbidden Sea Guard, who fought hard to supervise the battle and took the lead, it is estimated that the timid Forbidden Sea Guard would have jumped off the city wall and fled.
The arrows shot from the head of Tianqian City poured down towards the city like pouring rain, and a large number of Yuan Beasts were shot and harvested in the air and sea.
However, the various primordial beasts did not stop for a minute, they listened to the screams of their companions, stepped on the corpses of their companions, and charged towards Tianqian City without pause.
The primordial beasts were naturally also afraid of death, but they had to charge. Because at this time, outside the light curtain of the magic circle that shrouded the entire Tianqian City, those fifth-level primordial beasts that could already turn into human forms appeared at some point.
Around the light curtain of the magic circle in Tianqian City, no less than twenty humanoid fifth-level primordial beasts stood outside the light curtain, quietly looking at the battlefield in front of them like a meat grinder. Moreover, around each humanoid fifth-level primordial beast, there were all primordial beasts of different shapes and extremely powerful aura on their bodies, and the number was around twenty, and they were all fourth-level primordial beasts.
More than 20 fifth-level primordial beasts, more than 200 fourth-level primordial beasts, such a powerful lineup, Colorful Island is determined to win this siege.
Outside the light curtain of the magic circle closest to the sixth waterway of Tianqian City, there were four people standing out of thin air, and a group of fourth-level primordial beasts guarded them (her) in the center.
Among the four people, there is a middle-aged man with a thin body and a yellow face with light eyebrows and a gorgeous woman with a bumpy figure and revealing clothes, with only a few strands of red silk wrapping around the vital parts of the body, a pointed nose and face, and charming eyes like silk.
It was the two fifth-level Yuan Beasts that they were chasing and killing Lin Yang on the Forbidden Sea that day, and they almost made Lin Yang unable to return to Tianqian City.
The third person had long fluffy hair, a broad face, tiger eyes and a lion nose, and a very burly and tall figure, a head taller than the few people around him.
And the last person, dressed in black, covered with a black scarf, only revealed a pair of cold eyes, and his body was full of cold and strange aura.
If Lin Yang was there, he would definitely know the identity of this person immediately. Because this person's body was dancing with a fist-sized black flame, which was the symbol of the five-star secret envoy of the Dark Alliance.
This person is the envoy of Yang Yong, Shi Jingtian, Wang Ziyou and Liao Anhua, and the head of the Secret Alliance in Qianzhou.
"Brother Leng, your Black Jiao Cannon is really extraordinary. Without your black cannon, my sons would have to pay a hundred times more than they do now. If I can take Tianqian City this time, I will definitely fulfill my promise and deliver what you need with my own hands. The burly man with long fluffy hair chuckled softly at the five-star envoy of the Dark Alliance.
"Brother Lion is true to his word, and our dark alliance naturally spares no effort. It shouldn't be long before the light curtain of the magic circle here will be removed, and at that time, no matter how much Tianqian City struggles, it will be in vain. The voice of the five-star envoy was very cold.
"Haha, then I'll wait and see!" The burly man laughed, and then turned his gaze in the direction of Tianqian City.
The men and women who were chasing and killing Lin Yang that day lowered their heads slightly, standing behind the burly man, not daring to interject easily, like the burly man's entourage or follower.
The army of Yuan Beasts outside the sixth waterway continued to charge forward, and after paying heavy casualties, it was already less than five hundred meters away from Tianqian City.
The terrible and angry roar of the primordial beast has been clearly transmitted to every corner of the Tianqian City, the people in the Tianqian City are all terrified, frightened and inexplicable, the shops on the street have all been closed, people are either closed the door, or hide in the tunnels dug in advance, shivering and huddled together to keep warm.
Liao Anhua stood on the wall of the sixth waterway, he quietly looked at the Yuan Beast that was getting closer and closer under the city, and the expression on his face was inexplicable.
Several guards of the sixth battalion set their sights on Liao Anhua, the Yuan Beast had already entered within five hundred meters, and according to the practice of defending the city, it was going to use fire thunder.
If Liao Anhua hadn't been on the spot, several guards would have already let the Forbidden Sea Guards use fire thunder. But Liao Anhua was on the scene at the moment, and it was not their turn to give orders.
However, seeing that the Yuan Beast was getting closer and closer, Liao Anhua did not give the order for a long time.
Feeling the anxious and puzzled eyes of his subordinates, Liao Anhua set his eyes in the direction of the artificial lake.
Then, he gritted his teeth violently and said angrily: "Fire thunder!" ”
Immediately afterward, heavy, pitch-black, smooth, head-sized balls were projected into the air and sea outside the city.
The speed of the ball was extremely fast, and it landed in the group of primordial beasts in the blink of an eye.
I only heard the sound of "boom, boom, boom", and those black balls exploded in an instant among the primordial beasts, sounding like muffled thunder, and the earth shook the mountains.
In the air, one by one, the flying primordial beasts were blasted into blood foam, sprayed all over the sky, blown into pieces, and fell one after another;
On the surface of the sea, there were shocking waves that poured into the sky, and the patches of water walking primordial beasts could not even scream, and they were blown to ashes by the fire and thunder.
For a while, the beast tide that had been rushing forward was stopped, and the lethality of the Fire Thunder Son was too strong, and the damage area was too wide, so that the too dense Yuan Beast suffered a blow to the head.
Moreover, the fire and thunder at the head of Tianqian City were still projecting down in a steady stream, and the primordial beasts were harvested in pieces, and finally began to retreat.
Seeing the retreat of the Yuan Beasts, at the head of Tianqian City, the Forbidden Sea Guards who had been nervous all the time let out cheers, the bows and crossbows in their hands were fired faster, and the fire thunder was thrown even more happily.
The burly man outside the light curtain snorted coldly as he watched the Yuan Beast retreat back.
The middle-aged man with light eyebrows and yellow face standing behind him changed his face, and then said in a deep voice to the fourth-level primordial beasts around him: "You guys, give it all to me!" ”
More than forty fourth-level primordial beasts didn't dare to pause for half a minute, and immediately drilled into the formation light curtain and rushed towards Tianqian City at great speed.
"The fourth-level primordial beast has attacked!"
"Oh my God, there are more than forty of them!"
……
Before the happy expressions on the faces of the forbidden sea guards at the head of Tianqian City faded, they were shocked to see that more than forty fourth-level primordial beasts roared towards Tianqian City with a strong sense of oppression.
"All Sky Splitting Crossbows, Ready, Target Designation Rank 4 Yuan Beasts in the Air!"
At the moment when the fourth-level primordial beast entered the light curtain, Liao Anhua did not hesitate and directly gave an order.
Because, at the moment when the fourth-level Yuan Beast entered the formation light curtain, five Yuan cultivators with powerful aura quietly went up to the head of Tianqian City, and they were all powerhouses of the Heavenly Wheel Realm.
"Launch!"
When more than forty fourth-level primordial beasts approached three hundred meters from Tianqian City, Liao Anhua shouted violently.
Booming and babbling, like a dark cloud covering the sun, the crossbow arrows in the sky sprayed towards more than forty fourth-level primordial beasts.
The fourth-level primordial beasts were strong, but in the face of so many crossbow arrows, they did not dare to slack off, and they sacrificed their strongest means one after another, either shooting them away, or shooting down the oncoming crossbow arrows.
In the first wave, tens of thousands of crossbow arrows were shot down under the joint attack of more than forty fourth-level primal beasts, and only one weaker fourth-level primordial beast was shot by two crossbow arrows, but it did not cause much damage to it, and it still charged towards Tianqian City vigorously.
The second wave and the third wave of crossbow arrows followed, and this fourth-level primordial beast finally suffered casualties, and a fourth-level primordial beast was shot into a hornet's nest and fell directly into the Forbidden Sea. Two fourth-level primordial beasts were seriously injured, so they had to reflexively retreat and retreat to a distant place to heal.
The fourth-level primordial beasts attacked, and the army of primordial beasts that had just retreated was encouraged, and immediately stopped retreating, turned around one after another, and launched an attack on Tianqian City again.
Because the Sky Splitting Crossbow was used to deal with the fourth-level Yuan Beast, the attack power of the head of Tianqian City dropped sharply. Despite the suppression of the Fire Thunder, the army of Yuan Beasts under the city was still rapidly approaching Tianqian City.
In the blink of an eye, the army of Yuan Beasts was already less than three hundred meters away from Tianqian City.
"Sea of Fire Tactics!"
Liao Anhua shouted again.
Immediately, wooden barrels that were half a foot high and required two adults to hug were thrown out of the city and landed on the sea two hundred meters away from the base of the wall, as if they had built a wooden barrel pontoon.
Immediately afterward, the Forbidden Sea Guard, who was skilled in archery, shot flaming rockets at the barrels on the surface of the sea.
When the rocket pierces through the barrel, the barrel explodes, spewing out black oil, which ignites when it catches fire.
As the barrels exploded one by one, a sea of fire quickly ignited on the surface of the sea near the sixth waterway.
