Chapter 5 Schemes
"Captain, help!" a soldier in armor shouted as he looked at a wolf-like beast that was charging at him.
"Stinky boy, tell you to remember to report the group. The captain scolded and threw out a low-level fireball rune paper, incinerating the beast to the ground.
Unexpectedly, this small mercenary team has persevered in this beast tide until now, originally their team was just a monk of about the fifth layer of Qi Gathering, and only the captain was a monk of the seventh layer of Qi Gathering, it was difficult to persist in the face of such a beast tide, but fortunately, there were a large number of mortal armies to share a lot of pressure for them, and these Qi Gathering Period cultivators who knew low-level spells could still protect themselves.
Once a mortal's aura enters the body, while changing his physique, he can use the spiritual power in his body to drive some mortal weapons, or low-level rune paper to hurt the enemy, although these methods are only the lowest level for cultivators, but compared to mortals, they are already worlds apart.
The pinnacle of mortal martial arts is just the pinnacle of the physical body. But just like a simple low-grade fireball talisman paper urged by the captain just now, it can be said to be the lowest method in the cultivation world, but it can already cause the effect of burning financial stones.
In this war of attrition, their group of fifth-layer Qi gathering monks, it can be said that there is not much spiritual energy left in their bodies, and only by relying on weapons and physical bodies to fight with fierce beasts, only the captain, a seventh-layer Qi gathering monk, will have some spare strength, but it is not much.
However, with the group of eighth-layer powerhouses on the city wall descending from the sky to join the battlefield, the form and morale have changed a lot, and the pressure on this nameless mercenary team has also decreased a lot, which can be said to have a sense of relief.
Cultivators have three mountains and nine mountains in each great realm, corresponding to the three orders and nine grades.
The path of cultivation is already difficult and dangerous, and it is like going through hardships like climbing mountains and mountains before you can transform and ascend to heaven. Therefore, even in the same realm, the gap between different grades is still very large. Gathering Qi from the first to the third grade can only wash the marrow and cut the scriptures and hone the physical body; the fourth to sixth grade can use the spiritual power in the body to drive weapons and rune paper to fight, which is already very different from mortals at this time; and the seventh to ninth grades, due to the strong spiritual power in the body, can already use spiritual power to give birth to spells and fight.
This captain has just entered the seventh grade, and his foundation is unstable, but the spiritual power in his body is more powerful than that of the sixth-grade cultivator who gathers qi, and he can't cast spells freely.
However, when the group of eighth-layer monks hired by Zhou Huairen joined, a lot of changes took place, because they had all practiced for many years, and their use of their own spells could be said to be quite proficient, like wolves entering a flock. Zhu Daoren has been gathering qi for many years in the ninth layer, and his fire-based exercises are even more ever-changing, only to see his hands flying and dancing in the air, and two fire snakes have been conjured out of thin air, circling and flying. There are several people who practice the earth system exercises, and they conjure up a big pit of dozens of zhang on the ground, trapping the fierce beasts in it, only to see the two fire snakes of Zhu Daoren rushing towards it, and the two fire snakes with the help of the sea of fire on the battlefield have further strengthened their momentum, and the group of fierce beasts in the big pit have been burned and turned into a cloud of ashes.
But suddenly, I saw three fierce beasts around me rushing towards Zhu Daoren, due to the vacuum period after casting the spell just now, it was no longer possible to use the spell at this time, and there was no time to urge the defense rune paper to save his life.
"Could it be that I, Zhu, am going to fold here as soon as I practice?" said Zhu Dao in his heart.
Just when he was in despair, a fellow Daoist behind him drew a water curtain with the water system exercises beside him, which slowed down the offensive of the fierce beasts and gave him time to flee for his life, but despite this, a wound several feet long appeared behind Zhu Daoren, which looked like his scalp was numb.
"Thank you for saving your life, Zhu remembers" Zhu Daoren thanked gratefully.
"Well, in this battlefield, we still need the help of Taoist friends, so that we can save others," the cold-faced young man said with his fists clenched.
However, just when the Mocheng Terrans thought that they had the chance to win, two figures suddenly swept out of the beasts and rushed towards these eighth-layer monks who had just joined.
A silver light flashed, and before everyone could see what it was, they heard three screams. When I looked closely, the two of them were torn in half by the claws, and the remaining one was pierced by a golden horn.
"What! It turned out to be a nine-rank demon beast, a golden-horned silver leopard. How could there be demon beasts in this tide of fierce beasts!" someone exclaimed.
Just before everyone could react from the surprise just now, a black light rushed towards the crowd again.
Swish!
Where Hei Mang passed, three more people died tragically, and the head of one person was being chewed in the mouth of the black tiger with horns, and after eating, he watched everyone drool, as if he had seen the most delicious food.
"There's one more, this... This is... The Black-Horned Tiger is also a nine-rank demon beast!"
"Hurry up and run for your life, this demon beast is not something we can deal with at all, this is a demon beast equivalent to the predecessor of the foundation, not only is it invincible in the flesh, but it can also spew spells from its mouth!" one of them shouted as he ran for his life.
Zhu Daoren's face was also a little blue at this time, he had been a man for many years, how could he not understand, I am afraid that this week Huairen would know that there would be demon beasts, but he has not reminded everyone, I am afraid that it is just to let the demon beasts kill some people to make himself pay a little less. But because he is a foundation building predecessor, these people in the Qi gathering period have to swallow it in their stomachs even if they break their teeth.
Just as they retreated, these two demon beasts killed nearly twenty people with their own strength and skills, which made people's scalps tingle.
"That's enough! Don't take care of your own escape, scattering and escaping is only a dead end, only together can you have a chance to live!" At this time, Zhu Daoren's experience calmed down and made the most correct judgment, and at the same time shouted: "Hurry up and notify the city lord of Zhou to come to support, with the help of the city lord, these two demon beasts are not without a chance to take it!" So the retreating crowd gradually woke up, hugged together, and someone took out the jade slip and asked Zhou Huairen for help.
Just the short time of the two demon beasts joining, it has made a great change to this battlefield, it can be seen that once the foundation is built, it is reborn, for mortals, it is already a land immortal, omnipotent. And because after the foundation is built, you will be able to condense your divine sense, and through the perception ability of your divine sense, the previous fire crossbow arrows and flint machines will not cause any damage, and they will be dodged in advance, and the monsters also have divine sense.
Zhou Huairen looked at the changes on the battlefield, sneered, and his face was cold.
As a strong person in the middle stage of foundation building, how could he not know about the appearance of these two demon beasts, this matter is just pretending to be confused, and in his heart he also hopes that the two demon beasts can kill more, so that he can leave a large number of spirit stones and materials, because even if he is the lord of a city, he is just a foundation building monk, and in this ink city where there are many mortals, how much property can he save.
Seeing that the rest of the people were working hard with these two demon beasts, and from time to time one or two people died, and there was also a jade slip flying out, sending a message of help, the bad guy Zhou finally got up, turned into a green rainbow, and flew towards the battlefield.
At a time when everyone is at a loss and desperate. With a bang, a thunderbolt slashed down and exploded on the ground, and a pit more than ten zhang in size appeared, isolating everyone from the demon beast.
Although everyone's hearts were full of resentment towards the city lord of this week, at this time, gratitude still arose. Because that's what they saved their lives.
"Thank you Lord for your help," everyone said, clasping their fists.
The corners of Zhou Huairen's mouth rose slightly, looking at the two demon beasts opposite, and sneered.
Although these are two demon beasts, but under the joint efforts of everyone, there are some injuries, at this time, in the face of a strong foundation building stronger than himself, he unconsciously felt a sense of crisis in his heart, staring at him with fierce eyes, grinning, as if he had encountered an enemy of life and death.
Zhou Huairen's body moved, and with a slapped of the storage bag with his left hand, a red spear immediately appeared in his right hand.
With a flick of his hand, a thunderbolt surged forward, blasting the two beasts apart. With a stroke of spiritual power in his right hand, a violent arc of electricity was stirred up on the surface of the red spear, and a spear resigned to the golden-horned silver leopard.
Sting.
Breaking through the air, he remembered that he only saw the golden horn and silver leopard dodging to the side, and a one-foot-long wound appeared on the side of his body.
Suddenly, Zhou Huairen then appeared a black shadow, it turned out to be the black-horned tiger, I saw it grabbing behind Zhou Huairen with one claw, and the same sound of breaking the sky came, as if it was about to break the gold and stone under one claw.
Zhou Huairen smiled at the corner of his mouth, under the feeling of his divine sense, he had already discovered it, and quickly turned around and swept it with the spear, which had the potential to sweep away thousands of troops.
The spearhead and the claw collided with fierce sparks, and the two immediately separated, only to see the black-horned tiger screaming and retreating.
"Hmph, the demon beast that has just been promoted, he hasn't even fully awakened his sanity, and he still wants to do it with me, but let's slaughter it, the essence and blood of the demon beast can still make my skills improve a lot. ”
Beasts are divided into fierce beasts and demon beasts, and the fierce beasts correspond to the monks in the qi gathering period, and compared with ordinary beasts, they have greater strength and stronger bodies.
And once it evolves into a demon beast, it will produce a divine sense, and even a more advanced demon beast can spit out the truth and turn into a half-human and half-beast, which can be said to be very terrifying. Demon beasts are also like people, the lowest in nine grades and the strongest in one grade.
How could these two newly promoted ninth-grade demon beasts fight against Zhou Huairen, who was already in the middle of foundation building. So the two demon beasts looked at each other, as if they were fleeing from a distance. And the beast tide saw that the two strongest demon beasts had fled, so they began to retreat gradually.
"Want to leave, hmph, you have to leave me today!" Zhou Huairen saw that the demon beast wanted to escape, snorted coldly, and chased after him.
And seeing that the city lord of Zhou was so brave, the army rose again, and the whole army attacked and chased after the demon beast, because for civilians and low-level monks, the fur and claws of the fierce beast were very precious and rare.
At this moment, a shadow appeared on the outer city wall, and a dark shadow emerged......
