Chapter 797: Come as you say
The appearance of the desolate beast was quite abrupt, originally the city wall was very calm, but suddenly, a small black spot appeared in the yellow sand.
The small black dots are magnifying at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, and the speed is surprisingly fast.
Immediately after, seven or eight black dots appeared behind the black dots, chasing after the black dots in front of them.
There was a sudden agitation on the city wall, and then someone shouted, "The scout is back, ready to answer!"
The black dot approached the city wall at an extremely fast speed, and Feng Jun realized at this time, "It's actually a sword cultivator?"
Needless to say, the combat effectiveness of sword cultivation is needless to say, the key is that they can still fly with swords, but they can be scouts...... I always feel that the style of painting is a little wrong.
This sword cultivator is a high-level qi refining person, not to mention his flight speed, and he is chasing four black-headed sand swallows and two storm gulls behind him.
Behind them is a huge red flame vulture, one of the overlords of the desert, a real beast.
Jian Xiu flies extremely fast, but the speed of the black-headed sand swallow is not slow, and occasionally with a mouth, it can also spray sand and stones, which is extremely fast.
Shayan and Storm Gull are both spirit beasts, and the sand and gravel it spews out can cause a certain chance of damage to Qi refining period cultivators, and it is especially useful for sword cultivation - although sword cultivation is powerful, it can't stand up to it, and the defense is too poor.
Fortunately, despite the poor defense, Jian Xiu's body technique is extremely flexible, and when Edgeworth flies, he can flicker left and right, up and down, and can dexterously dodge attacks.
However, as soon as he dodged like this, he would inevitably not be able to fly in a straight line, so he was bitten by them.
Seeing that the city wall was in sight, the sword cultivation suddenly increased its speed again, and at this moment, the red flame vulture screamed, and the sound shook for hundreds of miles.
The speeding sword cultivator bore the brunt of the attack, his body stagnated obviously, and then he fell to the ground.
The four sand swallows and the two storm gulls also chirped, and they accelerated in unison to pounce on Jian Xiu.
"Evil beast dares!" An angry roar came from the city wall, and two figures shot out, but they were both cultivators in the dust stage.
One of them came out of the dust and went straight to the Red Flame Vulture, raised his hand and pointed, and two golden rays flashed, pointing directly at this desolate beast.
The other beginner-level cultivator went straight to the high-level sword cultivator of Qi refining.
Unfortunately, these two Venerable Masters were not sword cultivators, and their speed was a little slow, so they finally snatched the sword cultivator back, but the sword cultivator also seemed to be injured.
Here, two cultivators from the Dust Stage came forward to answer the people, and the seven spirit beasts and desolate beasts did not retreat, and they wanted to confront the two Venerable Masters.
The two Dust Stage cultivators slowly retreated, trying to lure each other closer to the city wall.
But these seven birds are not stupid, they confront each other, they want to drag their own reinforcements to arrive, and when they see that their opponents are not in love with war, but want to lure them close to the city wall, they give up the pursuit.
Then, they triumphantly spun around the walls as if they had won.
In fact, although they didn't kill Jian Xiu, they also seriously injured their opponents.
Jian Xiu came back all the way back from the sword, and he was already overdrawn and quite exhausted, not to mention Sha Yan's long-range attack, which also caused him some damage.
After a while, the news that Jian Xiu brought back was spread, this time the desolate beasts invaded, there were at least forty or fifty thousand desolate beasts and spirit beasts, and there was a unified command, and it was only more than a hundred miles away from the city wall.
After Ji Ping'an heard the news, he couldn't help but snort, "Grass, it's another vicious battle." ”
Feng Jun was thinking about another question, "Are there many birds among these desolate beasts and spirit beasts?"
He felt that in face-to-face combat, the victory rate of cultivators was relatively high, but if there were too many birds in the opponent's camp, the battle would not be easy to fight - the air force had too much advantage over the army.
"Birds can account for almost thirty percent," Captain Ji Ping'an replied in a deep voice, "But many birds don't have the ability to attack from a distance, so they don't have to worry too much." ”
For about half a day, the yellow sand was rolling in the distance, but it was the combined forces of spirit beasts and desolate beasts that arrived.
At the front, a large patch of densely populated yellow-brown ants, with a head and feet more than ten centimeters long.
Seeing this, Feng Jun immediately gasped, "Just this iron-loving ant is more than four or five hundred thousand." ”
Xia Ping'an knew that he didn't know much about this, so he replied with a smile, "There are very few spirit beasts among iron-loving ants, just one out of a thousand, generally speaking, 100,000 iron-loving ants can be regarded as 10,000 spirit beasts." ”
The queen ant of iron-loving ants is only a spirit animal, and one queen ant can command 100,000 iron-loving ants, that is to say, one queen ant is equal to about 10,000 spirit beasts.
However, these iron-loving ants must not be underestimated, when they are rampant in the desert, in addition to those birds, the desolate beasts on the land can only flee in embarrassment when they see them.
In fact, even among the birds, only sand swallows, storm gulls or peregrine falcons restrain them and feed on them, and those that fly slower will encounter fierce battles if they happen to encounter iron-loving ants that hatch flying ants.
Behind the iron-loving ants, there is a huge group of spirit beasts, a half-human scorpion, a poisonous snake that can fly for a short time, a broken gold rock sheep with a strong impact, and a dry fire turtle with extremely strong defense......
Spirit beasts such as jackals, tigers and leopards can also be seen everywhere, and Feng Jun even found seven or eight spirit hedgehogs.
There are relatively few wild beasts, only about 20 of them, as for how to identify wild beasts from a distance? That's very simple, the lone who stays there is usually a wild beast.
Desolate beasts have hierarchical suppression of spirit beasts, and generally speaking, few spirit beasts are willing to stay by the side of desolate beasts.
However, the same clan is an exception, a dry fire turtle is surrounded by nearly a thousand dry fire turtles of all sizes, and this turtle is more than three times larger than other turtles, it is obviously the king of the dry fire turtle who has advanced to the desolate beast.
This time the invasion of the desolate beasts was quite orderly, and when they reached ten miles away from the city wall, they stopped, and did not rush to attack, but seemed to be ...... Putting order in order?
At dawn the next day, the beasts began to attack, but instead of a brainless all-out attack, they chose twelve points and began to attack violently.
When it comes to the level of desolate beasts, they are somewhat wise, they have fought here more than once or twice, and they know that the human cultivators on the opposite side are also divided into twelve teams to manage, and they choose a point to attack each team, impartially.
Experience has shown that such attacks are effective, and every thousand-man squad is attacked, and they do not actively think about supporting friendly forces - it is better to support others, what if I am breached here?
Among the twelve attack points, four of them have relatively large attack strength, four points have average strength, and four points have slightly less strength.
In the section of the city wall where they did not attack, the spirit beasts also put on an attacking posture, the purpose of which was obviously to contain the human cultivators.
On the first day, there were not many places to attack, but some places were quite tragic, and the death toll of the cultivators had exceeded seventy, and the number of injured was as high as more than 200.
The casualties of 300 people have already accounted for 3 percent of the more than 10,000 cultivators, and the desolate beasts can be said to have come prepared.
The casualties on the second day continued to expand, and although the cultivators had learned a lot of lessons, some of the methods used to fight against the desolate beasts were really unguardable.
For example, some spirit beasts use poison, some spirit beasts are hidden, and some spirit beasts ...... There are too many of them, just like iron-loving ants, this thing is swarmed up, no one can carry it, and people with dense phobia can faint directly.
On this day, sporadic battles also broke out in some non-major battle areas, because the areas that were attacked by the key areas suffered heavy casualties, while the cultivators in other areas were basically in a state of soy sauce, and this kind of inequality could easily give rise to chaos.
The spirit beasts had to beware of idlers to support, and occasionally launched some sneak attacks, and the cultivators who had nothing to do couldn't help but launch some long-range attacks when they saw the spirit beasts that were ready to attack in the distance.
The two sides were originally tentative, but they couldn't control it after fighting, so the next day there were as many as 17 places where the fighting was fierce, and the number of dead cultivators exceeded 80, and the number of wounded was as high as more than 300.
In two days combined, the death toll was approaching 16, and the number of casualties was close to 700.
The Earth Realm's statement about what casualties exceed thirty percent, and the morale of the army will collapse, does not apply to the Immortal Cultivation Realm - the army that will collapse if there are thirty percent casualties, it is because the army does not know why it is fighting.
Whether it's fighting for honor, or for faith, even for the spoils of war - as long as the distribution is relatively fair, more than fifty percent of the troops who have suffered casualties but do not retreat are everywhere.
For cultivators who pursue self-breakthrough, six or seven percent casualties are really nothing, but after only two days of fighting, with such a large battle loss, wouldn't the battle damage be as high as sixty or seventy percent if it was fought for twenty days?
It is difficult to determine how long the spirit beast invasion can last, which is roughly half a month to two months.
The longest duration of the invasion was one year.
However, at that time, there was an incident within the Immortal Cultivation Realm, there were not many cultivators in charge of defense, the reinforcement support was not in place, and the material loss was not well replenished, and the desolate beasts thought that there was an opportunity to attack without their lives, so the battle dragged on for more than a year.
The shortest time is only six days, but there is still nothing to learn from - at that time, there was a Yuanying Shangxian passing by, and he felt that the desolate beasts here were a little arrogant.
Now the number of wild beasts outside the city wall has increased a lot, almost reaching 80,000 - in order to find out the news, three more scouts died outside the city wall.
So the defenders discussed it and formulated a counterattack plan - just being beaten, this will not work.
So starting on the third day, an elite team began to break through the city wall and kill directly into the hinterland of the spirit beasts.
This kind of operation is quite dangerous, if you don't rush too far, there is no deterrent, but it is easy to be considered a provocation by the desolate beast, but if you rush far, the city wall may not be able to pick it up - just take a look at the process of receiving the sword cultivation.
Such a team of cultivators, called the Forward Team, is made up of cultivators who have made mistakes.
Because of this decision, the number of deaths of cultivators on the third day increased dramatically, reaching more than one hundred and twenty people.
Among them, there were more than 60 cultivators who died in the forward team, and you must know that the total number of cultivators in the forward team who attacked was only 200.
However, in the past three days, the salient where Feng Jun's five people were located was almost undamaged.
