Chapter 703: The Beast Descends on the City
Most of these monks present were people from the Cheng, Ji, and Jiang clans, and they wanted to stick to their homeland.
Mu Qing and the five of them discussed a few words, and decided to stay. This is also a last resort.
There were also eight Spirit Crystal Stage cultivators from the Ziyang Kingdom who didn't know what sect or sect they were also going to participate in the Ling Xue Festival and chose to stay.
In the end, only three Spirit Crystal Monks and a dozen Spirit Stage Monks decided to retreat before the demon beasts surrounded them.
Cheng Qibo didn't keep it, and pointed them in the direction, saying that the demon beasts in the southeast corner were the slowest to surround them.
After these people left, the hall was quiet again, and everyone turned their eyes to Cheng Qibo and the other three Lingyuan Stage monks, waiting for them to explain in detail the method of resisting the beast chaos.
Cheng Qibo twisted his long beard in his hand, with a hint of melancholy on his face, and said slowly: "I guess...... Tonight, tomorrow at most, the monks and mortals of the surrounding cities will be able to arrive, and when the time comes, we will be able to organize a team of thousands of monks and tens of thousands of mortal warriors......"
After a pause, he continued: "The three of us old guys have discussed, from the Spirit Crystal Stage monk down, the troops are divided into eight routes, and they are stationed at the head of the city in eight directions, and the three of us are in the center, once a high-level demon beast appears, we will fly to help." ”
One of the eight foreign spirit crystal cultivators, a black-faced man, interjected, "Three seniors, no matter how thick the city wall is, it can't stop the impact of high-level demon beasts......
Cheng Qibo smiled slightly, and said: "Of course, although our Chituo country is remote, but we also know some ways of the magic circle, I have arranged a powerful city protection circle under my Baisha City, this array also has a wonderful point, that is, the external defense is put inside, the attack from outside the circle will be blocked, and the attack from the inside of the circle will be unimpeded, not only that, when the mortal arrows are shot through the circle, they will also carry a part of the spiritual power of the circle, which more than doubles the penetrating power. ”
Hearing this, everyone's confidence in resisting the beast rebellion increased a little.
That Wang Jue said: "Listening to the arrangement of Cheng's predecessors, it is much stronger than our Jiujing City, and the number of people who can participate in the battle is also several times that of us, it seems that this battle can be won!"
The patriarch surnamed Jiang was named Jiang Shilang, but he said: "Don't blame you, although Lao Cheng has arranged it this way, I still have a pessimistic attitude, you think about it, there are many of us, and the demon beasts that attacked the cities found that their target was an empty city, and they would not follow ...... rush over?"
Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Qibo glared at him and interrupted: "Old Jiang, can you not speak with your stinky mouth! No one treats you as a dumb person!"
Jiang Shilang smiled and said, "Okay, I don't speak, I just want everyone to be mentally prepared! Everything is like this, we must hope for the best and plan for the worst, in case the city is broken and the demon beasts rush in, we also have to have a perfect plan, right?"
"Who said there is no plan?" Cheng Qibo said with a huh.
He glanced around at the Spirit Crystal Stage monks present again, and continued: "To deal with low-level demon beasts, the magic circle is enough, mortal warriors and spirit opening monks use bows and arrows to shoot and kill, and if the spirit period monks urge the magic weapon to kill from a distance, if there are fifth, sixth, or seventh level demon beasts, you Spirit Crystal Stage monks will take action and kill them as soon as possible, and when the time comes, you will each be given a piercing array token, which can enter and exit the magic circle." If the eighth-level demon wolf that Wang Jue said appears, the three of us old guys will kill it!"
Mu Qing understood when she heard this, and saw that Cheng Qibo had arranged tasks for his people, and hurriedly handed over his orders.
Jiang Shilang pouted and spoke again, and said: "Wang Jue said that he saw an eighth-level demon wolf, that was only what he saw, what if there are ninth-level or tenth-level demon beasts? I'm afraid that the three of us won't be opponents when we join forces! I'm afraid that a demon beast of this level can tear apart the defense of the magic circle with one blow!"
Cheng Qibo's beard trembled three times, and he said angrily: "Old Jiang, then we still have a fart! Just give up the clansmen now and run away!"
The patriarch surnamed Ji was named Ji Liushui, and he hurriedly opened his mouth to play a round and said, "Old Jiang, didn't you say it just now, you have to be the best hope." Besides, according to the news I received recently, the highest of those demon beasts is level eight!" pulled Cheng Qibo's sleeve again, and said, "Old Cheng, he is this stinky mouth, you ignore him, continue." ”
Cheng Qibo squinted at Jiang Shilang, suppressed the anger in his heart, and continued to speak: "The city protection array is our first line of defense, if it is broken, everyone will immediately retreat to the city lord's mansion, there is also a magic circle here, which is the second line of defense, tomorrow, I will first gather the old and weak women and children to the city lord's mansion." ”
As he spoke, he sighed lightly and said, "The scope covered by this City Lord's Mansion Circle is limited, even if it is crowded with people and people are close to each other, it can only put down the number of 100,000, we can only give up some mortals, and put our own clansmen first......"
"If it's the second ......"
Jiang Shilang was about to speak again, and when he saw that Ji Liushui was giving him a look, he forcibly swallowed the second half of the sentence back into his stomach.
Cheng Qibo stood up and said, "That's basically the case today, when the monks from the surrounding cities arrive, we will make detailed arrangements tomorrow night and assign people." ”
He said: "Cheng Long Cheng Hu, you can greet the new ones." Everyone else is gone!", he said, turning and leaving.
Jiang Shilang and Ji Liushui also followed.
......
Cheng Long and Cheng Hu are a pair of brothers, greeted Mu Qing and the five people, led the five people out of the tower, and stayed in a separate courtyard in the city lord's mansion, without saying a word, they turned around and left.
Mu Qing and the five of them got together to discuss.
Now the situation is very clear, if you want to participate in the Ling Xue Festival, you must pass through the ice and snow fog, if you want to pass through the fog, you have to borrow Cheng Qibo's snow field pigeon, the Ling Xue Festival is held in the world, it is too late to find other ways, and I don't know if I can find it.
It seems that a battle with the demon beast army is inevitable.
However, with Mu Qing, a "capable man" who had killed two eighth-level demon beasts, several people were not too worried.
Moreover, Yukun also said that most of the high-level demon beasts with heads and faces in the Hundred Ghost Plains he knew, although there were many demon beasts there, but there were very few who could reach the ninth level, and the tenth level except for himself before the transformation, there was no one. Even the eighth-level snow wolf Yukun in Wang Jue's mouth knew it, and Yukun called him the "earth dog", and he was Yukun's little brother back then.
Mu Qing teased Yukun and said that this "little brother" is now here to pay homage to the "big brother". Yukun's chest is tall, and he said that when they meet, let the "earth dog" kneel in front of him, let it bark, and let him roll around.
This is a joke, everyone understands in their hearts that most demon beasts are unenlightened, and there is an innate awe of demon beasts with higher levels than themselves, but for the human monk, even if your cultivation is higher than his, it will still show ferocity. It will not be much different from Yukun after the transformation of a person.
......
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Mu Qing and the five of them came to the square in front of the tower, and sure enough, they saw groups of monks arriving one after another. In the evening, Cheng Qibo gathered all the monks above the spiritual crystal stage on the top floor of the tower to hold the last pre-battle preparation meeting.
At this moment, there were more than 120 spirit crystal monks gathered in the hall, and each of them reported for the cultivation realm, and Mu Qing did not hide it, and reported the cultivation of the later stage of the spirit crystal.
The more than 120 people were divided into eight teams, each team of fifteen or sixteen people, with hundreds of agile and enlightened monks, plus 8,000 mortal warriors, who were ordered to guard the eight directions.
Mu Qing's five people were not separated, there were sixteen people in their team, and the captain was Cheng Hu. Among the sixteen people, except for Cheng Hu, Mu Qing, Ling Xu, Tang Taiyu and Xian Yuchun, the others were all early stage cultivators of Lingjing. With such a distribution, Cheng Qibo took into account the balance of the eight teams.
Yukun has been busy with the affairs of the sect in the past few years, and although he has not been lazy in his cultivation, he has not been happy to enter the realm, and he has only reached the peak of the early stage of the spirit crystal.
Another night passed peacefully, and by the second day, when the sun was rising, the blizzard, which had been falling for several days, stopped, and the red sun sprinkled golden light on the endless snowfield......
As predicted, the beastly rebellion came as expected......
Mu Qing stood on the city wall, and through the light curtain formed by the magic circle, he saw that the snow field in the distance was like an avalanche on the flat ground, and a white line was surging towards Baisha City like a rising tide......
