775. Chapter 774 - Painful Refining Body
At this moment, another long howl of snow jackals came from behind the snow jackal beasts under the city.
As soon as they heard this roar, these snow jackal beasts hesitated slightly, and then turned around and flew away one after another, without making any contact with these innate martial artists.
The ordinary snow jackals that remained at the head of the city also began to withdraw in the roar, and they rushed to jump down from the city.
Although those innate martial artists chased and killed well, they still let more than half of the snow jackals escape.
Not only these castleheads, but also the snow jackal beasts in other places also stopped attacking, and slowly retreated, and the beasts ended the tentative battle of the first day.
In this battle, both the snow jackal beast group and the humans were damaged, but in general, it seems that the beast group suffered a small loss, and the number of dead and injured snow jackal beasts was as high as more than 100,000.
However, although the casualties of human beings in this battle are negligible, a large number of arrows and defensive equipment have been consumed, and in the end, it is the side that has the upper hand, which is really not a good thing to say!
At this time, three crescent moons appeared in the sky at the same time, and under the bright moonlight, the hairy snow jackal beast corpses covered a thick layer under the city wall, and at the same time, there were also miserable howls of snow jackals from time to time in the snow jackal beast herd in the distance.
But there was no longer a sense of rage in the howl, but an indescribable wail and desolation.
In this way, the huge herd of snow jackals gradually faded away in the cold moonlight, and finally disappeared without a trace.
The soldiers who had been fighting for most of the city for most of the day were really relieved, and they didn't care about the blood on the city, so they sat on the ground very tired, some of them were too tired, and even planned to fall asleep.
Even those innate martial artists who specialize in cultivating the art of recuperation, because they keep waving their weapons, they are also overwhelmed, and they also plan to take a little rest.
"Don't lie down, this is not a place to sleep, the person who replaced us will come up in a while, before the replacement person comes up, everyone still has to cheer up, in case the snow jackal beast group suddenly goes and returns, in this state, there will definitely be a big problem." The officer surnamed Chen didn't dare to relax in the slightest, and still urged in his mouth.
Hearing that they could go back to rest, the soldiers and the people of the Wind and Rain Business Alliance were overjoyed, and they recovered a little bit of their spirits, and they all barely stood up again.
Yuwen Zhouyuan didn't make a few moves, so naturally he didn't feel tired, just half-leaning on a battlement, looking at the swarthy distance where the snow jackal beasts had withdrawn, his eyes flashing and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Brother Yuwen, this time thanks to your action to scare back the mutant snow jackal, otherwise we would have ended up with the same fate as several other guards. He Xibo walked over to Yuwen Zhouyuan and said with a smile on his face.
Scarface's He Xibo was holding the golden short sword in one hand, half of the armor on his body was stained red with blood, and it was obvious that in the battle just now, he had killed a lot of snow jackals.
"It's nothing, it's just that I happened to run into a herd of snow jackals and want to evacuate. Yuwen Zhouyuan's gaze swept over He Xibo, and he said very calmly.
"But if it weren't for Brother Yuwen's action, I'm afraid that even if the 'Xiao Cavalry Battalion' in Fuyao City came to help, most of us would have been killed or injured. It's also fortunate that it's Brother Yuwen, and if you change someone, you really can't deal with that mutated snow jackal beast alone. Even if I have an armor-piercing sword, my chances of winning against this mutated snow jackal beast are no more than thirty percent. He Xibo said with a wry smile.
At the same time, He Xibo said as he carefully put his short sword into his arms.
Yuwen Zhouyuan subconsciously glanced at this spirit sword, he already knew that these so-called body spirit weapons were actually a special magic weapon designed by immortal cultivators for innate martial artists, borrowing special "body spirit weapon bracers" and "body spirit weapon bracelets" and other excitation devices, but without having mana in the body, the spirit stones on the device could be introduced into the body spirit weapons in diameter, temporarily stimulating their power.
Although the power of the body spirit weapon is good, it can only use the power of the spirit stone, and it cannot be refined, nor can it fight for a long time, and the cost of the spirit stone is also extraordinary, so it is not something that ordinary innate martial artists can use.
However, because the power of the body spirit weapon is the most, it has only reached the point of reaching the top level of the body spirit weapon, which is far less than the real treasure.
Therefore, the real high-level innate martial artists disdained these body spirit weapons, and they believed that the strong body they cultivated was the best weapon, which coincided with the thoughts of some demon cultivators.
Yuwen Zhouyuan was flashing the information about the body spirit weapon in his mind, He Xibo was silent for a while, and suddenly said with a strange expression: "Brother Yuwen, your 'King Kong is not bad' is not just cultivating to the third layer!"
After hearing this, Yuwen Zhouyuan felt a pang in his heart.
"Why did Brother He ask such a question?" Yuwen Zhouyuan's eyes flashed, and he asked quietly and rhetorically.
"It's nothing, I just think that the third layer of 'King Kong is not bad' doesn't seem to be able to make a snow jackal beast retreat. It seems that Brother Yuwen really has a great future!" He Xibo said this meaningfully, and immediately turned around and left, without any intention of saying any more.
Yuwen Juyuan looked at the back of the scarface man, touched his chin, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Not long after, a large number of soldiers from Fuyao City and a group of young men climbed the city wall under the leadership of another low-ranking officer.
The Wind and Rain Business Alliance and the others were finally able to leave the city.
However, although they were replaced, it was naturally impossible for them to return to the inn, but they were all arranged to rest in a stone house near the square where they gathered that day.
Yuwen Zhouyuan returned to the stone house, immediately took a unicorn fruit, and then meditated on the bed to breathe, and continued to silently comprehend the exercises of alchemy.
After the Qilin Fruit was swallowed, Yuwen Zhouyuan felt a burst of heat rise in his abdomen, and as the heat flowed around his body, a heart-wrenching sensation came from his limbs.
Beads of sweat seeped out from Yuwen Zhouyuan's forehead, and a handsome face was deformed at this time, although Yuwen Zhouyuan had refined his body with extremely cold qi back then, but this was the first time he took the Qilin Fruit, and the pain of cultivating the alchemy technique under the inability to mobilize mana made him almost give birth to the idea of giving up.
As soon as the thought of giving up rose, Yuwen Zhouyuan's Dao heart couldn't help but tremble, and at the same time, there was a burst of clarity in his mind, and a layer of fine cold sweat appeared on the back of the brush.
"It's so dangerous!" After letting out a sigh of relief, Yuwen Zhouyuan knew that he had broken through another heart demon, and the next alchemy cultivation should be easier.
Because the thought of giving up just now was the potential demon in his heart, if Yuwen Zhouyuan really gave up, then his Dao could only go so far, even if he wanted to return to the previous True Monarch Period, it was impossible.
Fortunately, Yuwen Zhouyuan survived with his strong perseverance, so that the moment his Dao heart was lost, his divine thoughts woke up in time and did not make a big mistake.
Next, Yuna's pain seemed to be less severe, and there was even a hint of comfort, and Yuwen Zhouyuan found that his limb bones seemed to have become a little stronger, although it was a trace, but don't forget that this was only less than an hour of cultivation.
Seeing that the medicinal power of the Qilin Fruit had passed, Yuwen Zhouyuan took out another one and swallowed it, and then cultivated painfully......
The next morning, Yuwen Zhouyuan, who was practicing, was suddenly awakened by the sound of earth-shaking drums, Yuwen Zhouyuan stood up, and listened to the howling of the snow jackal beast from afar, and then the sound of shouting and killing came from the direction of the city wall.
It seems that the second siege of the snow jackal herd has begun.
This battle seems to be more fierce than yesterday, the sound of fighting lasted from morning to night, a team of reserve soldiers and young warriors from time to time pulled out of the stone house, and then hurriedly pulled up to the city to support, just one day, just this square where Yuwen Zhouyuan was, there were three or four groups of people were pulled up to the city.
It wasn't until night fell again that the snow jackals retreated again.
When Yuwen Joo-won walked out of the stone house, a rotation of people who had been removed from the castle appeared in the square.
With so many people supporting, only two or three percent remained, and most of them were covered in blood, with serious injuries missing hands and feet.
Compared to yesterday's guards such as Yuwen Jooyuan, it seems to be much more miserable.
Not only Yuwen Zhouyuan, but also many people near the square walked out of the stone house, and when they saw this, they were also surprised, and someone immediately went up to ask for the details of today's battle.
Only then did I know that there was a kind of snow jackal beast with a body shape like a small tiger among the siege jackals today, they were not only as light as swallows, but also the mane on their backs could shoot out like steel needles, and these hard hairs were extremely poisonous, and they lost their fighting power after being shot for a while, and if they were not rescued, they would be poisoned to death.
This little tiger-like snow jackal had never been heard of before, and it was probably a newly mutated species of green jackal, which was not too unusual, although not a common occurrence in the beast tide.
It's just that every time a new mutant beast appears, it naturally causes a lot of casualties on the human side, but this new mutant beast will soon be eliminated and disappear, otherwise, the mutant jackals in the wolf pack will never be just this simple two.
But now, as soon as this mutated little tiger-like snow jackal appeared in large numbers, it immediately caused most of the unsuspecting guards to suffer casualties.
If it weren't for the command of the generals to mobilize a large number of reserve personnel regardless of casualties, and let the "cavalry battalion" in the city help several times, today's battle would probably be extremely dangerous.
Hearing the answers of these evacuated personnel, the hearts of those present were heavy.
Everyone had a vague feeling that this beast tide seemed to be more vicious than rumored. As for whether he could hold the city, he felt a little shaken.
Yuwen Juyuan stood at the door with slightly squinted eyes and watched for a while, then returned to the stone house without saying a word, his face was always unshocked.
Yuwen Zhouyuan is indeed indifferent to all this in his heart, he is here just to restore his strength, and once he recovers his strength, he will leave.
Besides, even if this Fuyao City was really breached, with Yuwen Zhouyuan's skills and the "Heartbeat Without a Trace" technique that he could perform, it would not be too difficult to break out of the herd.
As for the other people in the city, even if Yuwen Zhouyuan wanted to save it, he was now more than capable of saving.
