Chapter 799: Guarding the Cloud Pillar
Qi Wusheng is not a native of Qiuchen Immortal City, he was sent here by Casting Sword Peak to communicate business.
He wasn't very familiar with the situation here, but he knew that his predecessor was seriously injured and he couldn't go on like this.
Release a batch of cloud pillars, which are used to divide spirit beast attacks and attract hatred.
Of course, he is not stubborn, he just hopes that everyone will think about it, and he hopes that they will take the initiative to declare.
For the dignified Qi family, the economic cost of activating the cloud pillar is not worth mentioning, and he considers the impact of the decision.
If the following do not agree to activate the cloud pillar, he still has to push, which is difficult for a strong man.
If activating the cloud pillar has a negative impact, it will be a mistake in his decision-making, and it will also make the Qi family notoriety.
Therefore, the linkage between the top and bottom and the full respect for each other can not only alleviate the crisis, but also not be responsible.
There is no doubt that Ji Ping'an, the defensive point, immediately reported to activate the cloud pillar.
Xia Ping'an had wanted to do this for a long time, but that wasn't the point, the point was that their defense was extremely understaffed.
On the surface, it seems that there are five people full, but in fact, one person is useless, and they also send their hearts to greet him, so the point where they are is actually three and a half combat power.
It is said that three and a half is less, and the troops should not be divided, but the divided troops can greatly attract firepower to attack firepower.
And they only need to hold on for one more day, the poisoned one can recover seventy percent of their combat strength, and if they hold on for two days, they will be completely full, in this case, why not apply for a division of troops?
Early the next morning, outside the city wall where Feng Jun and the others were guarding, about a mile away, a white pillar slowly rose, the diameter of the pillar was about three feet, and there was a platform with a diameter of about three feet on the top.
This pillar seems to be substantial, but if you attack the pillar below, it is like attacking an illusion, and it will not have any effect on the pillar, but the platform is real, and no matter who falls on it, it can stand firmly.
Probably because of this, it is called a cloud pillar, right?
The height of the pillar is about ten zhang, which is slightly shorter than the city wall, even if it is occupied by spirit beasts, it will not cause condescending suppression to the city wall.
Xia Ping'an laughed loudly, and shot directly onto the cloud pillar, "I've been waiting for this moment, I've been waiting for a long time, and I can finally let go of the attack." ”
However, he was obviously a little happier, and on this day, the immortal cultivators' side released about twenty cloud pillars, which were attacked by spirit beasts and desolate beasts frantically.
Xia Ping'an is very brave, this is really not blown, he has been forced to leave the cloud pillar several times, and then kill back after a fight - can fly, of course he can be willful.
But this kind of battle intensity is really not something that a congenital master can withstand, and in just half a day, there are five or six more wounds on his body, and the most serious one is that his right shoulder is pierced.
This is because he wanted to fly down and cut off the ear of a broken golden rock sheep, but he was set on fire by many spirit beasts.
He still cut off his ears, but the scene was so thrilling that he didn't even have time to collect the corpse of the rock sheep.
Then he watched as the corpse of the Broken Golden Rock Sheep was eaten by the iron-loving ants.
Originally, he wanted to hold on for a day and then rotate with Feng Jun, but after holding on for a long time, he was scarred.
Just after noon, fog began to rise in the air, and in the Red Flame Desert, fog was an extremely rare sight.
However, this fog is a bit strange, many cloud pillars are fogged, the city walls are also fogged, and there is fog between the two, but beyond this it is still clear, and there is no other fog place.
"It's a mirage!" Ji Ping'an shouted loudly, "Xia Ping'an, be careful, if the enemy can't be defeated, withdraw and let Feng Jun go up!"
The corners of Feng Jun's mouth twitched slightly, and he said in his heart, you really dare to make decisions for me.
But there's nothing to say, his cultivation is the highest among the five, although Ji Ping'an is more experienced in dealing with spirit beasts, he is also responsible for coordinating the battle, and he can't leave the city wall easily.
In fact, Feng Jun also guessed, and it is estimated that Ji Ping'an saw that he might have entered the Tao with martial arts.
However, Xia Ping'an was quite unconvinced, and he spoke loudly, "I just took the injury medicine, and it is really a waste to withdraw it like this...... Let's wait until the fog is a little bigger. ”
However, it is very unfortunate that the fog did not become heavier, but maintained a certain concentration, and it was enough to see the cloud pillar on the city wall, but it was impossible to see what was happening above.
After a while, Xia Ping'an's shout came from afar, "No, I can't bear it, these guys are too cunning, if the fog is a little thicker, they should not be able to see the cloud pillar clearly...... Feng Jun, hurry up and take my place. ”
This guy still wants to hide through the mist of the mirage, and I have to say that he really dares to think about it.
Now that the plan had failed, he had to withdraw it, but as an innate master, it was a bit too offensive to talk to a high-level Qi refining cultivator like this.
Ji Ping'an was worried that Feng Jun was uncomfortable, and glanced at him, "Old Feng, now that you are on the battlefield, everyone is talking very impulsively, he didn't mean it, and he has to work for you." ”
"How can I care about this," Feng Jun smiled and waved his hand, and then spoke loudly, "Xia Ping'an, you come back first, I can answer you...... If I go first, who will send you back?"
The cloud pillar was not far from the city wall, only a mile away, but even if it was so close, it was still dangerous to fly back in the air.
Not to mention that the innate master flies fast, no matter how fast it is, can there be a spirit hedgehog to launch a long thorn fast?
Xia Ping'an hesitated, "If I go first, there will be ...... above this cloud pillar."
Of course, he also wanted to go first, but once a spirit beast or a desolate beast took the opportunity to occupy the cloud platform, Feng Jun was in the air, and if he wanted to take it back, he would have to pay a great price.
Therefore, although this Xia Ping'an is a bit second, he is still very responsible in doing things.
Feng Jun didn't bother to say more to him, and directly yelled, "If the cloud pillar is lost, I will be responsible for taking it back, you quickly go back to the city wall, and force so much less." ”
Xia Ping'an was stunned for a moment, and flew towards the city wall without saying a word, and at this moment, two long yellow ropes below, lightning rolled towards him, nothing else, it was the spider silk shot by two desert dry spiders known as "lone hunters".
The desert drought spider is a very powerful spirit beast, and it dares to hunt and kill spirit beasts that are more than a hundred times its size.
Seeing this, Feng Jun didn't say a word, but two thunder talismans were splitting the two spider silks.
At this moment, a wind falcon struck like an electric shot, this thing is weak among spirit beasts, but it is extremely fast, a line faster than a storm gull, almost comparable to a black-headed sand swallow.
If Xia Ping'an was still on the cloud pillar at the moment, he would not be afraid of it, even if he was already injured, it was not something that a wind falcon could bully, but at this moment, others were in the air, and they couldn't borrow their strength at all.
"Get out of here!" At this moment, an angry roar came, and a sword light slashed quickly, and Feng Jun had already arrived.
With a knife that slashed back the wind falcon, he grabbed Xia Ping'an's neck, directly dragged the person back, and then pounced on the cloud pillar like lightning.
There were two vipers below, spewing venom at him, and he flashed, gently and skillfully dodging it, and landed on the pillar of clouds.
"Holding the grass, it's so easy," Xia Ping'an coughed dryly while rubbing his neck - Feng Jun's strength just now was really not small.
However, he didn't care about this, but his eyes widened, "Why didn't he go back without a spirit beast attack......?" Let me attract firepower?"
"What kind of eyes do you have," Ji Ping'an glanced at him disdainfully, "Didn't you see the viper spraying venom?" by the way, I forgot...... You're a congenital with limited eyesight. ”
Xia Ping'an nodded when he heard this, "I'll just say it, I don't feel like he is this kind of person...... At present, the spirit beast is not attacking, I will breathe for a while. ”
In places where there were cloud pillars, the spirit beasts' attacks on the city walls had indeed weakened a lot, and their attention was more focused on the cloud pillars.
But where is the ambiguity of the cultivators who can guard the cloud pillar alone? It is rare for the innate masters of Xia Ping'an and others to take charge alone, at most, it is to give them a chance to rotate and buy some rest time for the masters.
That is, Xia Ping'an shouted at the beginning that he wanted to go to the cloud pillar, and Ji Ping'an couldn't discourage his enthusiasm, so he was allowed to guard the cloud pillar - let reality teach you how to be a man.
Feng Jun went to the Cloud Pillar, it was different, this was a place for high-level cultivators to harvest the lives of spirit beasts.
In just one hour, he killed three spirit beasts and seriously injured five, far more efficient than their five-man team defending on the city wall.
It sounds a bit incredible, but in fact, it's the norm.
Because the cloud pillar is floating in the air, and the bottom two zhang are only shapes and no substances, many spirit beasts cannot climb up at all, including the most troublesome iron-loving ants, as well as venom-spewing scorpions, and the dry fire turtles that can use gravity magic, etc......
And some long-range attack methods will also be blocked by the platform at the top of the cloud pillar, after all, this is a "T" shaped platform.
There are also some poisonous snakes, which can climb up around the cloud pillar after flying for a few feet, but how to climb to the top of the T-shaped and how to climb upside down to the platform is still a problem.
In short, this platform is a bit dangerous, with enemies on all sides, but at the same time, there are many fewer spirit beasts that can attack defenders, and there are a lot fewer constraints when fighting.
It's just a pity that it's really difficult to cut off the ears, the diameter of the gimbal is only about one zhang, and the bodies of many spirit beasts are larger than the gimbal, and it is more difficult to prevent their corpses from falling off the gimbal, let alone still fighting.
Feng Jun fought all afternoon, but he was only embarrassed to get the corpse of a wind falcon and the corpse of half a golden viper.
The golden viper was supposed to not be able to fly so high, but the wind falcon caught it on it, and it was considered a joint operation, but unfortunately, the battle plan failed, and most of the corpses remained.
Feng Jun was also a little dissatisfied with such a harvest, but it was also good for him to stick here, that is, it was easier to keep.
