Chapter Seventy-One: Fishing in Troubled Waters (Tomorrow, 7 chapters, 4 more)
Then last time, the seventeen people of the Wuling Prefecture were mixed with more than 300 heroes, and they took advantage of the night to march towards the Mushi Temple.
There was nothing in the sky except the starry light and the cold wind, and under their feet was soft and damp moss, and more than 300 people walked forward lightly, like ghosts.
There was no trace of the Eagle Vulture Palace, and from a distance, the Temple of Namushi was like a temple outside the sky in the moonlight, cold as steel, and silent.
Unbeknownst to him, the Eagle Vulture Palace was already ready and waiting for the arrival of the enemy at any time.
All the heroes went all the way to the unfrozen spring, Hu Xianye signaled to stop, and observed with the soldiers, and the scouts came to report that everything was normal and there was no ambush.
But there was a doubt in his heart, how could he be so quiet, without the slightest sign of war.
The bull head said to the demon star: "There is an ambush above. ”
Meng Long also noticed something unusual, picked up a stone casually, and bounced it towards the peak waist on the left.
Just hit one person, and then shouted to be careful of the ambush, the heroes in the front row raised their shields to block, and the people in the back row raised their crossbows one after another.
The vanguard of the right wing of the Eagle Vulture Palace thought that the other party had discovered him, and before they could reach the middle of the river, they shouted to fire, and the left and right wings began to shoot arrows.
At the same time, the torch was lit, and when the Mushi Temple saw the torches of the pioneers lit, thinking that the enemy had been ambushed, they also lit all the oil pots outside the temple, and suddenly the entire front of the Mushi Temple was brightly lit, illuminating everyone clearly.
Dozens of arrows shot at the heroes at the same time, thanks to the Demon Star's slight tricks, reminding everyone.
Most of the arrows were blocked by the shields in the front row, and only a few were injured by the arrows.
The strong crossbow in the back row immediately shot towards the left and right peaks, and seeing the strong crossbow shooting, the shield hand hurriedly blocked, and several people were hit by arrows in an instant, and the damage was not great.
Whizzed and shot downward, only three or four people were wounded by arrows, and most of the arrows were blocked.
The swishing crossbow also shot upwards, and it went back and forth several times, and more than a dozen people on each side were injured, so the stalemate continued.
The magic star thought about it, and whispered to Hu Xianye: "Let everyone dive on the raft, as long as you cross the river, you can attack." ”
Hu Xianye was very surprised when he heard the voice, and looked back, the crowd was dense, and they were all carefully blocking, I don't know who was prompting him, he must be a master.
After thinking about his words carefully, it was indeed a good idea, and I would not look for it in a critical moment.
He did as he said: "The boatmen went forward on the raft, and everyone followed them to dive across the river." ”
The heroes understood what they meant, and they all did it, even though it was cold.
But they are all practitioners, as long as they cross the river, slightly urge the internal force, let the body heat up, and the clothes will dry quickly.
There were a few other people among the heroes who were suspicious, and because it was dark and the moon was cloudy, they couldn't completely see their appearances.
Those people were tightly wrapped, but they couldn't hide the high nose bridge and sunken eye sockets, and they were actually Persian gods.
I don't know what the intention is, I hid in the crowd and whispered.
Others didn't find out, but they couldn't escape the ears of the "magic star" Menglong.
Even more surprising is that he knows Persian.
He secretly translated in his heart: "Follow the boatman to dive, you don't have to fight after you pass, sneak into the palace as soon as possible from the side, the Holy Sect Master instructed us that the target this time is the sapphire." ”
After hearing this, the "Demon Star" understood its meaning, and said in his heart: "The one who calls the Holy Sect Master should be the Persian Divine Sect in the West, I didn't expect that these red-haired ghosts could detect the ambush above, and it seems that there are two hits." ”
"They are interested in the 'Blue Sea Jasper' of the Mushi Temple, this piece of jade jade weighs a thousand catties, and the three of them want to take it away. ”
But in their hearts, they thought: This divine stone was originally a holy relic of the Persian Divine Sect, the Western Regions world is mysterious, and the "Blue Sea Jasper" is famous, it is impossible for them not to know its size, and there must be some way to take away the divine stone.
He must not let them succeed, and then the secret voice was transmitted to the ghost king and the black dragon: "You two will follow the Persians behind you in a while, they will steal the 'Blue Sea Jasper', and when they get their hands on it, they will snatch it from them again." ”
Chuanlong Miyin replied: "Understand the Western Emperor, the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind." Emperor Xi nodded and stopped talking.
All the heroes had already entered the water, and they all held their breath under the raft, and the pioneers of the Eagle Vulture Palace shot arrows one after another, but most of these arrows were shot on the raft, like arrows borrowed from a grass boat.
Only a few people were unlucky, they were shot and injured or killed, most of them crossed the shore safely, and moved quickly, leaving the vanguard of the Eagle Vulture Palace on the peak far behind, and the arrows could not be shot, and the vanguard on both wings had to retreat.
All the heroes arrived at the bottom of the Mushi Temple, thinking that they were safe, but they suddenly slid down from the top of the Mushi Temple, like a flying eagle gliding, extremely fast, it turned out to be the 'Thirteen Eagles' of the Eagle Vulture Palace.
They created a flying device that could fly with the help of the wind, gliding down from a high altitude and ascending and descending as freely as an eagle.
The thirteen people kept shooting out hidden weapons in the process of falling, and everyone didn't notice the thirteen eagles above, and more than a dozen people were hit by the hidden weapons and were killed instantly.
Before the official attack on the Eagle Vulture Palace began, three adults had already been killed or injured, which can be described as a disadvantage.
Everyone shouted for cover, and strong crossbowmen shot at the thirteen men, but they moved so fast that they all missed.
The thirteen people changed the angle of their wings, and then slid upwards, shooting down and downward, and three adults were injured and retreated.
The flying device should not fly for a long time, otherwise it will fall into the crowd after the rear strength is exhausted, and the thirteen eagles will all fly back and retreat.
Hu Xianye saw that the opponent's offensive was exhausted, and he no longer defended, and ordered all the heroes to attack the city.
Eagle Eagle Spirit King, the palace master of the Eagle Vulture Palace, was seriously injured, and he was still fighting against the sect in the upper echelons of the temple.
Eagle Spirit King said: "Although they have a large number of people, after our two lines of defense, they have lost thirty percent, and even if they attack the first layer, they will definitely not be able to attack the second layer, and the second layer is as high as fifty zhang, and they will never be able to go up, unless the gods go down to earth." ”
Everyone nodded their heads, and when they saw that the people under the palace were as small as ants, they were all relieved.
I only saw the heroes taking the lead in attacking, although the entrance to the Mushi Temple was narrow and the stone steps were steep, but there were also disadvantages, and there were fewer positions to defend above.
The crowd was divided into dozens of groups, some with ziplines, some with ladders, some with light skills, some were expert climbers, some were ten people into ladders, and then went down the rope ladder after attacking, and a team shot crossbows upwards in the distance to force the guards to retreat.
The Thirteen Eagles and the Thirty-six Tiangang of the Eagle Eagle Palace are condescending, and each pass is a one-man who is not open, and he fights and retreats, and gradually shows his advantages.
Slowly, there were fewer and fewer attackers, but a few groups still broke through the defense line and attacked upwards.
One of the groups attacked extremely fiercely, attacking all the way to the height of the Fahai layer, forcing the Eagle Vulture Palace people to retreat one after another.
It is a group of people led by the 'Demon Star' Meng Long of Wuling Prefecture.
The Wuling Prefecture actually forced the people of the Eagle Vulture Palace to retreat one by one, and in the end, the Eagle Eagle Palace had no way to retreat.
Suddenly, there was a whole stone wall behind him, and a doorway opened, which was an escape entrance for war emergency preparations.
They retreated into the cave one after another, and then the stone gate fell with a bang, cutting off the pursuers behind.
At this time, all the heroes behind also followed, taking advantage of the situation to chase after them, and captured all the first layer.
But everyone stands on the high platform of the first layer, facing the second layer of dozens of feet, how will they break it?
Meng Long immediately said: "Five ghost Luo, go on the zipline." ”
I saw Meng Long and the Five Ghost Luo, each of whom carried a bubble of sheep blood, and first shot the flying rope on the wall at a height of ten zhang with a strong crossbow.
Then he performed light skills and flew up the zipline, extremely fast, and in a short time climbed up to the top.
Master Huizhi hurriedly said: "It's not good, these people are really good at martial arts, the person in the middle must be the 'Demon Star' Menglong, and they must not be allowed to come up." ”
The Eagle Spirit King looked at it and said, "Master rest assured, they will not be able to come up to a height of ten zhang at most." ”
Hisashi hurriedly said, "Release the arrow." ”
The soldiers behind all shot arrows at the Demon Star, seeing dozens of arrows killing downward, the eight of them were not in a hurry, kicked the wall, swung outward, and all dodged.
He shot the arrow several times, but he skillfully dodged it.
Suddenly, the Eagle Vulture Palace soldier came to report: "Report to the palace master, the fate layer is lost." ”
